Supreme Heir Son-in-law

After arriving at the café, Xu Ke went straight to the front desk.

His goal this time was very clear, which was to find out what exactly Wang Lishan came here for last time.

That time was in a private room, and Xu Ke was not sure who the people inside were.

But he also knew that such western-style restaurants must have surveillance cameras; though the private rooms wouldn’t have any, there would definitely be some outside.

As long as he accessed the surveillance footage from that day, he could find out who Wang Lishan met with that time.

Once he had a feature of that person’s face, Xu Ke was confident he could find them.

"Hello, we need to speak to your general manager," Xu Ke’s voice immediately caught the attention of the server.

Xu Ke was already very handsome, and with Xiao Keyi being extraordinarily beautiful and charming beside him, they immediately attracted a lot of attention when they entered the store.

The receptionist was also drawn by Xu Ke’s magnetic voice; as a girl like her, never did she expect to encounter such a handsome man one day.

"Hello, handsome. Do you have an appointment with our general manager?"

"An appointment?" Xu Ke was stunned on the spot.

It was the first time he had heard of needing an appointment to see a restaurant’s general manager.

"Miss, are you sure you’re not joking? I just want to see your general manager, why would I need an appointment?"

The receptionist was evidently not surprised by Xu Ke’s confusion. After all, this wasn’t the first time a customer questioned this; it was the regulation.

He was just following the rules and didn’t know the reason behind them.

"Sir, it’s our company’s regulation. We’re not a local enterprise; we’re a chain store from another province."

After hearing the receptionist’s words, Xu Ke felt even more puzzled. Regardless of where the restaurant was from, these things seemed rather unreasonable.

The restaurant manager is supposed to solve problems for guests, and doing it this way makes the general manager seem like a figurehead, doesn’t it?

Anyway, Xu Ke was determined to meet this general manager today. He couldn’t afford to be delayed, and he didn’t want such small matters to disrupt his plans.

"Miss, I don’t want to make things difficult for you, but I absolutely must see your general manager today!"

Xu Ke’s stance was firm; the receptionist could tell from a glance that this was one matter he would not simply let go of.

The receptionist was put in a difficult position; she was just a receptionist, not a manager in the restaurant. She was obligated to follow the company’s regulations without the right to question them.

"Sir, please don’t make things difficult for me. If it really doesn’t work, I can report it to our general manager, and whether he sees you or not will be up to him."

Xu Ke didn’t want to make things harder for the receptionist, he knew it was just her job.

"Alright, please report to your general manager for me. Tell him I have an urgent matter and must see him. If he has any questions, he can come directly to me."

After hearing Xu Ke’s words, the receptionist hurriedly ran up to the restaurant’s second floor.

At that moment, the restaurant’s general manager, Zheng Youran, sat leisurely in his office, sipping tea.

This person’s name was Xu Shuang, and he was the direct supervisor of this restaurant.

This store was a chain store, and it could be said to be part of their family business as well.

He was actually an unacknowledged illegitimate child in the family, so his father sent him to the capital to take charge of the business here, to prevent him from being ostracized within the family.

After arriving in the capital, Xu Shuang felt like a freed bird, able to spread his wings.

And indeed, just as he imagined, no one gave him a hard time here and all the streets were paved for him due to family ties, allowing Xu Shuang’s development to be smooth sailing.

Once people live too comfortably, their minds become active, and they become dissatisfied with the status quo.

At the same time, their initial ambition fades away as success follows.

This was exactly the case for Xu Shuang now; he no longer paid much attention to the restaurant.

In any case, the restaurant thrived even without him, he just needed to occasionally oversee things.

If someone wanted to see him, they needed an appointment in advance, which was a rule he set himself, precisely to avoid being disturbed.

Before coming to the capital, he had already researched the particular situation here.

The Xu family could be called the number one family in the capital; regardless of what you do, in whichever way, you absolutely can’t offend them.

This was a warning Xu Shuang’s father gave him repeatedly before coming.

But since arriving, Xu Shuang hadn’t seen anyone from the Xu family.

He had heard about the Xu Group, and once when passing by, he was deeply impressed by the company’s grandeur.

Xu Shuang had always had a deep reverence for the Xu Group. Although he shared the Xu surname, he had nothing to do with them.

At that moment, the receptionist rushed directly in.

"General manager, there’s a guest who insists on seeing you today, he says he has an urgent matter."

Seeing the receptionist in such a flustered state, Xu Shuang knitted his brows.

"Why are you panicking? Even if the sky falls, I’ll hold it up."

Seeing Xu Shuang like this, the receptionist realized she appeared somewhat out of sorts and quickly straightened herself up.

It had been a long time since someone had come looking for Xu Shuang, and he was actually quite curious about this sudden visitor.

Generally, people looking for him were only those dealing with conflicts in the store, or business partners. Others usually wouldn’t come.

For this unexpected person without an appointment, Xu Shuang was quite eager to meet them.

"Since the person said it was urgent, let’s make an exception this time and let them come up."

Xu Shuang asked the receptionist to bring Xu Ke up right away.

Upon hearing this, the receptionist hurried down the stairs.

By this time, Xu Ke and Xiao Keyi were already sitting to the side, leisurely sipping coffee and savoring it.

Seeing Xu Ke in this manner, the receptionist was almost dumbfounded.

Clearly, when she went upstairs, this guy was so anxious, yet now he didn’t seem to be in a hurry at all.

The receptionist suspected Xu Ke was playing her, but upon examining his attire, taste, and watch, it was obvious he came from a wealthy family, not someone she dared to provoke.

"Hello sir, our general manager has agreed to see you, he asked you to come up."

Upon hearing the receptionist’s words, Xu Ke took Xiao Keyi and headed directly upstairs.

However, on his way upstairs, Xu Ke specifically instructed the server not to take away his cup, as they planned to continue drinking afterward.
