<h4>Chapter 205: Gu Chaoyan with Ideas</h4>


    The day that Gu Chaoyan’s restaurant was opened turned out to be very bright.


    The restaurant was called Yellow Crane, and was named personally by Gu Chaoyan. She liked the name, so Zhou Huaijin wrote the calligraphy for her. He did it because they opened the restaurant together.


    As they walked into Yellow Crane, the manager came to greet them with courtesy. He bowed to Gu Chaoyan and said, “Greetings, Lady Chaoyan.”


    Gu Chaoyan nodded.


    Zhou Huaijin had wanted to give up this manager who did not help Gu Chaoyan when she was bullied by County Princess Anxi. However, Gu Chaoyan kept him, because he trusted her and she would very much like to have him with her.


    And now, it seemed that this manager was wholeheartedly there to work for her.


    However, it seemed that the business of Yellow Crane looked very bleak. Few people visited the ce and they all ordered very ordinary dishes.


    Gu Chaoyan frowned slightly. “Has it been like this today? No one ordered Hot-Pot?”


    Manager Song shook his head looking very embarrassed. As far as he knew, it was not a very excellent position to open a restaurant. Restaurant Jixian was situated in front of them and behind them was Restaurant Tianxiang which was almost 100 years old. No one would choose to eat at Yellow Crane, which was newly opened, let alone try the brand-new dish of hot-pots.


    So... even though the restaurant was opened... no one was here eating at their ce.


    Manager Song had no idea of what to do either, so he said, “It has been like this... those few people whoe to eat at our ce would not choose to order our brand-new hot-pot.”


    As they were talking, Manager Song guided Gu Chaoyan to the elegant room on the second floor, where Zhou Huaijin was already drinking tea. Seeing Gu Chaoyan approaching them, he waved his hand. “What are you talking about?”


    Manager answered honestly. “We were just talking about the few guests that we had at Yellow Crane.”


    Zhou Huaijin tilted his head and looked at Gu Chaoyan, whose eyes were already twinkling with a sinister look.


    This girl was always able to bring surprise to people. Zhou Huaijin looked at her with expectation. “You got any ideas?”


    Gu Chaoyan nodded.


    Those guests were unwilling to eat at their restaurant, just because they were afraid of trying something new. They were unwilling to try something new, just because they had never seen the new thing before.


    Hot-pot smelt so great, so as long as they caught sight and smell of the hot-pot, they would very much like to give it a try.


    Gu Chaoyan nced about and saw Fu Bao, Sword One, Sword Two and Qing. There were also some free waiters on the way to the elegant room. They all came in handy.


    Gu Chaoyan smiled with satisfaction. “Oh well...”


    “...”


    “Manager Song, get some people to ce two sets of tables and chairs under the willow by the doorstep, put up two sets of hot-pot. Look at those free men, go and try your best to eat up everything!” Gu Chaoyan looked at the gang in front of her.


    Manager Song’s eyes brightened. He still remembered that the great smell of hot-pot attracted him from faraway the first time Lady Chaoyan cooked hot-pots. So if some people were eating at the gate... those who caught the smell woulde and have a try for sure.


    That was a great idea! Why didn’t it strike their mind! Lady Chaoyan was so smart!


    “I am on it!” Manager Song looked very excited instead of distressed.


    “We will do that now!” Fu Bao said with a smile. “Lady Chaoyan, don’t worry, I will try my best!”
