Chapter 98 The Distinguished VIP_1
In the Hilton Hotel, Xu Fan brought Tongtong to the restaurant on the third floor.
Warmly received by the restaurant’s staff, Xu Fan and Tongtong took their seats and started to order.
Although the hotel offered complimentary meals for suite customers, Xu Fan didn’t care for those and went straight to the private seating area, handing the menu to Tongtong with one instruction, “Tongtong, order whatever you want!”
After the morning’s adventures, Tongtong’s little stomach was rumbling. Her eyes sparkled as she hurriedly flipped through the menu, drooling over the lifelike illustrations of the dishes.
Xu Fan affectionately stroked her little head and ordered seven or eight of her favorite dishes, stopping only when the waiter reminded him that the two of them couldn’t possibly finish it all.
“Make it quick, my daughter is hungry!” Xu Fan told the waiter.
“Of course, sir. As our esteemed VIP member, we will arrange for a dedicated five-star chef to prepare your meal especially. It will be very quick,” the waiter bowed slightly, speaking respectfully to Xu Fan.
“Okay,” Xu Fan nodded.
A heavily made-up woman at a nearby table, upon hearing the waiter’s words, a flash of displeasure in her narrow fox-like eyes, spoke dissatisfiedly, “Why have we been waiting for our food forever, yet his order gets a special chef? Is this how the Hilton Hotel treats its customers?”
“I apologize, but this gentleman is a distinguished VIP guest of our hotel and is entitled to special services we offer to our VIPs. If you’re concerned about the wait, you’re welcome to join our VIP ranks as well; our hotel would be delighted,” the waiter replied evenly to the woman.
“What kind of rubbish VIP is that? It’s just a ploy to swindle me into getting a card. Tell me, how much does it cost to become a VIP member? I’ll sign up right now. I won’t be outdone, lest I starve to death in your hotel before even getting my meal!” the woman said sharply to the waiter.
“Ordinary people need to spend 1 million yuan in the hotel and deposit an additional 200,000 yuan to become a VIP member. Miss, you could consider it,” the waiter explained to the woman.
“What the heck, it takes 1.2 million to become a member? I’d rather go eat at a Michelin restaurant. I’m not signing up!” After her retort, the woman spoke coldly to the waiter.
“Whether you sign up or not is up to you, so I won’t disturb you any further,” said the waiter before turning to leave.
Unable to vent her frustration, the woman stood up and threw her chopsticks down in anger, “I don’t want to eat here anymore. What a lousy hotel, I don’t need this.”
With that, she stormed out of the restaurant, her ample hips swaying in indignation.
The waiter, with a helpless look, respectfully came over to Xu Fan, “I apologize for the disturbance during your meal, sir. I offer her apologies on her behalf.”
Xu Fan smiled indifferently, asking with some confusion, “I remember I didn’t apply for your VIP card. When did I become a VIP member here?”
“I’ll need to check with the backend on this,” the waiter bowed, then reached for the earpiece at his ear to call the front desk.
“Front desk, the gentleman in room 2808 is asking why he is a VIP member even though he didn’t apply for it.”
A minute later, the waiter returned, an air of reverence in his voice as he said to Xu Fan, “Sir, it’s like this. When you checked into our hotel, you used the globally limited Supreme Black Diamond Card, which has a co-branding agreement with the Hilton Hotel. Any guests holding this card are automatically upgraded to the hotel’s top-level VIP status.”
Hearing the explanation, Xu Fan suddenly realized how valuable the card was. VIP treatment at the bank, and now VIP service at the hotel.
The Xu family’s past influence was evident.
Meanwhile, the waiter received a message through his earpiece, apologized to Xu Fan, and headed to the kitchen. He soon returned with a tray.
Two cold dishes were ready, showcasing the exclusive chef’s efficiency indeed.
Tongtong drooled over the exquisite lemon chicken feet and secret-recipe donkey meat in the plates.
Xu Fan carefully tied a napkin around Tongtong’s little neck. Unable to wait, she picked up her spoon and began eating eagerly.
“Baby, don’t eat too much, there’s more food coming,” Xu Fan said, his heart filled with contentment watching his daughter devour her meal.
Perhaps in the world, only parents never think their children eat enough.
Delicate dishes one by one were brought to the table by the waiters, and Tongtong gorged on them like a little hurricane, her small stomach surprisingly powerful, having consumed about half of the seven or eight dishes.
Xu Fan also tasted several bites from each dish. The hotel’s VIP exclusive chef was indeed remarkable, far better than Xu Fan, who could only replicate dishes by following cooking tutorials. Every dish was a feast for the senses, and Tongtong was rubbing her belly, exclaiming how full she was.
Seeing Little Tongtong looking a bit overfed, Xu Fan wasn’t in a rush and slowly picked her up, gently rubbing her round, full belly.
A stream of Spiritual Energy flowed from Xu Fan’s hand, slowly entering Tongtong’s belly.
Under the influence of Xu Fan’s Spiritual Energy, the food in Tongtong’s stomach digested at an extremely fast rate, and within less than two minutes, it was transformed into energy that her body could absorb.
Tongtong rolled her eyes playfully and said in a milky voice, “Hehehe, Daddy’s rubbing makes Tongtong ticklish, but after Daddy rubs, Tongtong’s tummy doesn’t feel bloated anymore.”
“Daddy is a superhero. Superheroes can do anything,” Xu Fan bragged, waving his large hand in front of Tongtong.
“Daddy is so amazing, so maybe Tongtong should finish all the dishes on the table before we go,” Tongtong suggested with her little tongue out, eyeing the dishes in the plates with an unfinished longing.
“Little ancestor, you really can’t eat anymore,” Xu Fan said with a cold sweat. Even though he could use Spiritual Energy to rapidly digest the food in Tongtong’s stomach, the nutrients were still staying in Tongtong’s own body. If she ate the entire table of dishes, Tongtong’s little body would definitely become chubby.
Xu Fan certainly didn’t want Tongtong to turn into a little chubster.
So, Xu Fan gently picked up Tongtong, kissed her, and said, “Be a good girl, Tongtong, let’s not eat anymore. We’ll eat again in the evening, okay?”
“Okay,” Tongtong agreed obediently. Her big eyes spinning around, she then said slyly, “But Daddy has to take Tongtong out to play this afternoon.”
“Alright, where does Tongtong want to go play?” Xu Fan asked softly, tickling Tongtong’s little nose.
“Tongtong can’t think of anything, Daddy decide for Tongtong,” she said, folding her little arms, looking every bit the boss who throws off all responsibilities.
Right at this moment, Xu Fan’s phone rang.
Xu Fan took out his phone and saw that the call was from Lu Chenbing.
Xu Fan swiped the screen and brought the phone to his ear.
“Brother Xu, the matter from this morning has been taken care of. However, there was a boat explosion in Xiangshui Bay Area A today, and when we sent people to salvage it, we astonishingly found Song Qiang’s body,” said Lu Chenbing.
“Big Brother Lu, all I can say is the unrighteous will eventually perish by their own actions. Song Qiang committed many evil deeds, and he has finally received the punishment he deserved,” Xu Fan responded vaguely on the phone.
“Now I understand. But Brother Xu, the guys in the War Wolf Squad learned that I found them an instructor, and it caused quite the stir. A few hotheads are rather defiant. If you have time this afternoon, you might want to come over to our training ground to meet your future team members and let them learn a lesson and straighten up their attitudes,” Lu proposed.
“This afternoon…” Xu Fan pondered for a moment and said, “Alright, this afternoon it is. Send me the address of the training field, and I’ll head over in a bit!”
“That’s great, I’ll meet you at the gate,” Lu Chenbing said excitedly.
“Alright then, it’s a deal!” Xu Fan slowly hung up the phone.
Tongtong, having overheard Xu Fan’s phone conversation, asked curiously, “Where is Daddy going next? Didn’t you say you would play with Tongtong?”
“Tongtong, this afternoon Daddy will take you to play with some handsome big brothers,” Xu Fan said with a mischievous grin.
“No! Tongtong wants to play with Daddy,” Tongtong pouted, adamantly refusing.
“Listen, Tongtong, those big brothers can turn into frogs and geckos. They’re very cute,” Xu Fan tempted her enthusiastically.
“Turn into frogs? Yay! Tongtong wants to see the big brothers turn into frogs,” Tongtong exclaimed, her mood picking up instantly, her attitude taking a complete one-eighty.
“Haha, that’s settled then!” Xu Fan nodded, thinking to himself: Little guys of the War Wolf Squad, it’s not that I don’t want to take care of you, but my precious daughter is just too hard to please. Please don’t blame me during this afternoon’s training.
