Xintiandi can now be said to be the liveliest and most fashionable place in Shanghai. In front of a gallery, there is a sculpture of a girl, with many people watching.

The name of the work is "Girl in the Magic City". It is a bronze sculpture more than two meters high. It is a tall and slender girl with twisted hair, wearing a sleeveless cheongsam, wedge-heeled sandals with pointed toes, and holding a fan in her left hand.

, there is a birdcage hooked on the fingers of her right hand, and the girl’s eyes have the unique coquettishness, fashion and emptiness of a girl from the magical city.

It can be said that it is very vivid. Zhao Xinyi looked at the sculpture for a long time, and finally was pulled by the two children before leaving. This place is not interesting to the two children.

What they yearn for is the amusement park in the mall, that's what they like.

But Xintiandi is still very interesting. This is how the media introduces Xintiandi. Middle-aged people think it is very nostalgic, young people think it is very fashionable, foreigners think it is very domestic, and Chinese people think it is very foreign. This kind of feeling is full of illusions.

, but it also fully demonstrates Chinese characteristics to introduce this new world.

Jiang Xiaobai and Zhao Xinyi took their two children to eat at a Western restaurant in Xintiandi at noon.

In fact, Jiang Xiaobai rarely eats Western food in normal times. He just went out and happened to have something to eat here. But what Jiang Xiaobai didn't expect was that the location here was still very tight. Several Western restaurants were crowded.

a lot of.

Jiang Xiaobai wanted to leave. There was a Western restaurant in the corner of Xintiandi that was less crowded and looked more upscale.

Jiang Xiaobai and Zhao Xinyi walked in with their children.

After sitting down in the restaurant, Jiang Xiaobai started to order. There was actually not much to eat in the Western food, so Jiang Xiaobai ordered two dishes at random and asked them to start serving.

But what Jiang Xiaobai didn't expect was that a man in a suit and leather shoes came over with several people just after ordering and before the food was served.

"I'm sorry, sir, do you have a reservation?" The man introduced himself as the lobby manager.

"No." Jiang Xiaobai said without raising his head, still taking care of his daughter Jiang Xin beside him.

"Sorry sir, reservations are required for our restaurant. Your place has already been reserved by this family." The man said with a smile and turned to look at the family following him.

Jiang Xiaobai turned around and looked at the man in surprise: "Then when we came in just now, why didn't the waiter say anything when we took the order?"

"Sorry, they were negligent. Please leave." The lobby manager was polite with a hint of arrogance.

Jiang Xiaobai was really surprised. He didn't believe what the lobby manager said at all. It was pure nonsense. If there was such a rule, he should have said it as soon as he entered the door.

Instead of just sitting down and ordering the food, I just mentioned this matter. Obviously it was to see that I was easy to bully.

In this magical city, Jiang Xiaobai never expected that he would sometimes be unable to eat.

However, the lobby manager just looked down on others, so Jiang Xiaobai didn't bother to care, so he just left. Jiang Xiaobai didn't want to stay in this Western restaurant.

"Let's go, let's eat somewhere else." Jiang Xiaobai stood up, took the two children and Zhao Xinyi and prepared to leave.

But unexpectedly, a waiter came over at this time and said something in the lobby manager's ear. The lobby manager stopped Jiang Xiaobai again.

"I'm sorry, sir, the dishes you ordered are already being prepared. If you want to leave, please pay the bill before leaving."

Jiang Xiaobai was really confused this time: "What did you say? You said I didn't have a reservation and you wouldn't let me eat here, so I still have to pay? I haven't even eaten, and you asked me to pay."

"Sir, you have already ordered the food. Our kitchen has already placed the order. This must be paid for."

"You won't let me eat here."

"Sir, you have no reservation and no place. This is our store's rule. You can take away the dishes that will be prepared in a while," the lobby manager said.

Jiang Xiaobai was happy. He was going to take a day off today because he really didn't want his mood to be affected by some bad people.

So even though he knew that reservations and the like were just nonsense, he still didn't bother to care about it, just because he didn't want to let this matter affect his mood of spending time with his family.

Jiang Xiaobai was really not interested in pretending to be slapping someone in the face, and he didn't want to waste time on such things, but he never thought that his tolerance would make others think he was easy to bully.

"You mean, if you don't let me eat here, I still have to pay the bill, right? What kind of restaurant are you running? You might as well just grab it." Jiang Xiaobai's face has turned cold.

"I'm sorry, sir, this is our rule." The lobby manager looked at Jiang Xiaobai as if he was convinced. This Xintiandi is the busiest place in Shanghai. Who can open a Western restaurant here without a background?

.

Look at Jiang Xiaobai's family of four. They are all dressed simply today. They drove a Huahai car when they came here. Jiang Xiaobai's Huahai car is customized. Although it is very luxurious inside, the equipment and performance are absolutely top-notch.

But you can't see it from the outside.

Others just look like a slightly different Huahai Automobile, and Huahai Automobile is just a mid-range sedan at this time, so what?

More importantly, when Jiang Xiaobai was asked to leave in the first place, Jiang Xiaobai agreed readily, which also gave him the illusion that Jiang Xiaobai was easy to bully.

"The rules, okay, good rules." Jiang Xiaobai laughed angrily and asked, "How much is it?"

"The total cost for your order is two hundred and twenty yuan, plus four sets of cutlery, plus the service fee, the total is two hundred and seventy yuan." The lobby manager said with a smile.

"You go to eat first, I'll meet you later." Jiang Xiaobai turned to look at Zhao Xinyi and the two children and said.

Originally, Jiang Xiaobai was planning to let Zhao Xinyi take the child away first, and then handle the matter himself. Unexpectedly, the lobby manager actually stopped in front of Zhao Xinyi and others.

"I'm sorry, no one can leave if they can't pay the bill."

Jiang Xiaobai pointed at the lobby manager and said with a sneer: "You are awesome, just wait for me."

"Sir, please pay attention to your words. We run a Western restaurant, we operate according to the rules, and we never accept any threats." The old lobby manager said in a condescending manner, not taking Jiang Xiaobai seriously at all.
