Chapter 249 Thank You
Of course, the proud Mr. Xu wouldn't say that, so he sighed and said, "Since I've gotten older, my appetite has been getting worse and worse. Xuan'er was worried about me, so he specially invited several top chefs."
"The food at today's banquet was prepared by the chefs that Xuan'er found."
Just then, the servants brought the dishes up, and Master Xu said, "Come on, have a taste."
These chefs were all personally trained by Chen Feng. Although their culinary skills were not as good as Chen Feng's, they were several times better than those of ordinary chefs. And these old friends of his did not like to go out, so they had definitely never eaten here before.
Sure enough, the person who had initially been disdainful changed his expression after tasting the food. Although his movements remained elegant, he grabbed the food much faster. Only after he had almost finished eating did he reluctantly put down his chopsticks and sincerely say to Master Xu, "As expected, Old Xu's son is the most filial."
They were supposed to be big shots, having tasted countless delicacies in their daily lives, but this was the first time they had ever tasted something so delicious, and so addictive.
After the banquet ended, Mr. Xu, who had gained enough face, looked at his son, Mr. Xu, who had once again been out playing until late at night before returning home, and unusually, he was not very angry.
Young Master Xu knew his own father's temper and originally wanted to avoid Old Master Xu, but unexpectedly, he was caught red-handed by Old Master Xu.
"stop."
Upon hearing Master Xu's voice, Young Master Xu stiffened and said ingratiatingly, "Father, why aren't you asleep yet? It's so late."
Master Xu snorted coldly, "So you know it's this late?"
"Ahem." Young Master Xu scratched his head guiltily and said, "I just accidentally forgot the time. Oh, Dad, please forgive your son this time..."
"Alright," Master Chen interrupted Young Master Xu, saying, "Let's let it go this time."
"I know I was wrong..." He stopped abruptly midway through his sentence, looking at his father in disbelief. His father had just said that he would let it go this time?
Is this really what his father said? He had thought that Master Xu would definitely put him in solitary confinement this time, and he had even bought and secretly hidden things to keep him entertained during confinement. Who knew that his father would let him off so easily this time?
Master Xu glanced at Young Master Xu and said, "If you want to be locked up, I wouldn't mind locking you up for ten days or half a month..."
"No, no, no, no." Young Master Xu shook his head frantically. He wasn't stupid enough to ask his father to lock him up.
Master Xu looked at Young Master Xu again, then turned and went back to his room, leaving behind the words, "Come with me to the New Moon Pavilion tomorrow."
Although he didn't understand his father's intentions, what Young Master Xu did understand was: his father had actually shown mercy and let him go this time?!
It wasn't until Master Xu's figure disappeared that Young Master Xu came back to his senses from the shock. Looking at the empty place, he should have been happy that he hadn't been locked up, but at this moment, Young Master Xu couldn't help but worry and think: His father is acting so strangely today, could he be sick?
Unfortunately, Master Xu was unaware of what Young Master Xu was thinking; otherwise, Young Master Xu would certainly have been locked up for several more months.

"Boss, the line of customers outside the restaurant is getting longer and longer."
Chen Feng put away the ledger in his hand and asked in confusion, "Didn't any of the restaurant's guests leave?"
“Some people leave after finishing their meal,” Murong Yunhai said with a worried expression. “But often, as soon as one table leaves, several more people line up outside.”
Although this meant that their Crescent Moon Pavilion business was booming, Murong Yunhai was also worried when he saw that there were long queues outside both Crescent Moon Pavilions recently, and some people might not even be able to get a table until the pavilions closed.
After listening to Murong Yunhai's words, Chen Feng couldn't help but slowly frown.
While it's a good thing that Crescent Moon Restaurant is becoming increasingly popular, with long queues indicating that it's packed to capacity, this situation could have a negative impact if it continues for too long.
"Both the main building and the branch stores?"
“Yes,” Murong Yunhai said, “and recently the number of people queuing up has been increasing every day.”
Moreover, sometimes some people complain because they haven't been in line for a long time, although this is rare.
Murong Yunhai suggested, "Boss, why don't we open another branch?"
Chen Feng's heart skipped a beat. Given the current popularity of Crescent Moon Tower, opening a branch now would be a sure thing, and he had neither a shortage of funds nor manpower.
Seeing Chen Feng's expression, Murong Yunhai knew that this matter was feasible, but... "Although we have no shortage of manpower and resources, the location of the new store may be a bit troublesome."
This is also Chen Feng's biggest concern, because the New Moon Pavilion's business is booming, and all the restaurants in the city regard it as a thorn in their side. Some of them have been keeping an eye on the New Moon Pavilion's every move. If they buy land now, needless to say, they will definitely encounter a situation where the price is raised on the spot.
Once the land issue is resolved, everything else will be much easier, but that's precisely why it's the most difficult part.
"Sigh." Chen Feng sighed, and just as he was about to say something, there was a knock on the door, and the waiter's voice rang out: "Boss, Master Xu and Young Master Xu are outside and want to see you."
"Bring them in."
Before they even arrived, their voices preceded them. Before Chen Feng could see Master Xu and Young Master Xu, he had already heard Master Xu's laughter: "Boss Chen."
After opening the door, Mr. Xu handed over the gift he had personally carried.
Murong Yunhai quickly took the things from Master Xu's hands, "Master Xu, with your distinguished status, you can leave the rough work of carrying things to the servants."
“That won’t do.” Mr. Xu shook his head and said seriously, “I came here today mainly to thank Mr. Chen, so of course I had to come in person.”
The waiter brought Master Xu and Young Master Xu in and then left. After the four of them were left in the room, Master Xu said with a smile, "Thanks to Boss Chen, this banquet was able to be held perfectly."
Thinking about how, after the banquet, those who were openly or secretly trying to find out where Young Master Xu had gotten his chef, made Master Xu even happier, and at the same time, he was even more grateful to Chen Feng for making him look good.
Chen Feng laughed and said, "Mr. Xu, you flatter me. These are just trivial matters and don't deserve such praise."
Mr. Xu was still smiling. This might be a small matter for Chen Feng, but it was the first time that he had surpassed his old friends in terms of face because of his unfilial son. The joy he felt was even greater than when he had closed several big deals.
