Chen Yan wrapped the money in a black plastic bag, rolled it into a few rolls, put it into the bag he was carrying, and left the bank.

The first stop, Chen Yan went to several mid-range restaurants near his home and inspected them one by one.

The reason why he inspected mid-range restaurants instead of high-end restaurants was because Chen Yan analyzed Yu Qiaoqiao's personality and felt that she might not dare to come to high-end restaurants because they were too expensive, so she settled for the next best thing.

Chen Yan spent a whole day on this inspection.

This gave Chen Yan the feeling of playing a game and conducting dungeon investigation.

Don't tell me, it's quite exciting.

After a day of inspection, Chen Yan looked at the notebook full of memories and considered it comprehensively according to his own requirements and the system's limitations.

Finally, we settled on an Internet-famous western restaurant called "Anmeier".

This store is not far from Qindao University and is a well-known internet celebrity store. Many people come here to eat and check in every day.

Chen Yanyou observed at the entrance of the store that the whole store was a pink bomb:

Pink wallpaper, pink panther toys, pink macaron cakes, pink burgers, and a series of decorations matching the pink style.

Anyway, everything is pink and tender, which makes Chen Yan, a big man, feel embarrassed just looking at it.

However, girls like this style very much. As soon as they enter, they start taking pictures, posting on Moments, etc.

According to the evaluation of the girls on the Internet, they are: No matter how you take pictures here, the little fairies are charming~ They are as beautiful as the sky every minute! Satisfy every girl's heart!

Chen Yan didn't know much about girls, but he felt that since it was an internet celebrity store and girls liked it so much, they would also like Yu Qiaoqiao. So they would generally not refuse.

Of course, there are many similar stores. Some even have better conditions than this one.

But there's another thing about this store that attracts Chen Yan, and that is... there are no private rooms.

This can make the statement more reasonable and spend money "extravagantly"...

With this in mind, Chen Yan looked at the store again outside the door, then opened the door and walked in.

There is a bar at the entrance, and inside the bar there is a cute lady wearing a pink apron and a maid outfit.

When Chen Yan, a boy, walked in, the young lady was surprised, but her excellent professionalism still made her bow slightly and said, "Hello, welcome, who are you?"

"Seven people." Chen Yan said as he looked around the store.

There are a lot of people in the store, most of them are girls. Some are taking pictures and some are eating burgers. The environment is very nice.

"Okay, please wait a moment." The young lady began to operate the touch screen, "Will the other guests be here soon?"

Chen Yan came back to his senses, looked at the young lady, and said, "Oh. I'm sorry. We are not here to eat today."

The young lady stopped what she was doing, then smiled, "Is that so? Are you planning to book in advance?"

Chen Yan said "hmm" and nodded.

The young lady shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, sir, our store has a lot of customers, so we don't accept reservations."

This was not unexpected by Chen Yan. He had already checked the information on the Internet. He said, "I can't make a reservation. What about a private venue? Do you accept it?"

"Reserved?" The young lady blinked and looked at Chen Yan.

Tops... those priced at 100 yuan have a clothing store.

The watch...a cheap quartz watch from Casio. It should only cost a few hundred yuan.

The pants... the quality is not that good, I think they are 150.

Shoes...um...slippers.

20? No...15 at most.

Such a person whose whole body is worth less than a thousand yuan wants to book a reservation at an internet celebrity store?

The young lady felt that Chen Yan probably didn't know the price of a private room in this kind of store.

So she said gently, "Sir, our store is an Internet celebrity store. If we book the venue, it will be very expensive. Even for a few hours, it may cost tens of thousands of yuan."

"So, if you want to invite friends to dinner, you can come directly when the time comes. If you come earlier, there should be room."

Chen Yan smiled, then put the backpack he was carrying on the table with a bang and pulled it open. There were dozens of red Mao Zedong inside. It looked like there were more than a dozen!

Chen Yan said, "I really plan to book the venue."

Seeing so much cash suddenly, the young lady was stunned and her eyes widened.

She has also seen people who book a place, but she has never seen someone who comes with a bag of cash to book a place.

The impact of swiping tens of thousands of yuan on a credit card and hundreds or thousands of red Mao Zedong cards is completely different from the concept.

Coupled with the contrast between this bag of money and Chen Yan's cheap clothes, the young lady's mind went blank.

At that moment, her throat felt dry and she began to stutter when speaking, "First, sir, are you sure you want to book the venue?"

Chen Yan patted the bag and said, "Yes. Or if you don't accept the reservation, then I will have to go to another store."

The young lady swallowed her saliva and said quickly, "Sir, please wait a moment. I'll call the store manager over."

After saying that, she hurried to the store.

After a while, a middle-aged woman wearing a well-dressed OL outfit came out.

Seeing Chen Yan, she smiled and stretched out her hand and said, "Hello, I am the store manager. May I ask your surname, sir."

Chen Yan said, "I don't mind your surname being Chen."

The store manager said, "Mr. Chen, let's talk in the office?"

After saying that, she looked towards the store.

Chen Yan followed her gaze and realized that he was in this private room and had already attracted the attention of other guests.

He nodded, picked up his backpack, and said "Okay."

After a while, the two arrived at the office. The store manager poured Chen Yan a glass of water, then sat on the sofa next to Chen Yan and asked proactively, "Mr. Chen, do you plan to book the place?"

Chen Yan said "hmm".

The store manager explained, "Sir, our store is an internet celebrity restaurant and it is located near Qindao University. It has high customer flow and exposure."

"In addition, if we book the venue, it will cause some trouble to the guests who were originally coming, so our price will be much higher."

Hearing what the store manager said, Chen Yan took out his notebook from his pocket, looked at the data, and said, "I have calculated the traffic of your store."

"Because it is a casual Internet celebrity restaurant, the customer flow of your store is mainly concentrated at noon and afternoon."

"Today is a working day. During these three hours, approximately 190 customers came in."

"Several review software estimates that the price per customer in your store is around 75 yuan per person."

"So that means your turnover in the past few hours is about 15,000."

"Even if the customer flow doubles on weekends, due to the limited restaurant capacity, the three-hour turnover should not reach 30,000 at most."

"And I only reserve your restaurant for the evening time slot. Usually from 6 to 9 o'clock. Three hours."

"so...."

Chen Yan opened the bag and took out four dozen red Mao Zedong. He put it on the table with a "pop!" "Is forty thousand enough?"

The store manager listened blankly as Chen Yan reported the data of his store in detail. He was completely stunned...
