The manager was happy because Lu Zhen was one of their regular and generous patrons. He left big tips that always reached him.
"Yes, please bring the menu for my wife to choose what she wants." Lu Zhen replied.
"Wif….wife?" The manager was shocked.
The city's number one bachelor was married? Wasn't it said that he doesn't associate with women and even falls out with anyone who tries to send him women? When did he get married?
Lu Zhen wasn't angry because of the manager's reaction. He was happy instead.
"Yes, my wife. Bring the menu for her in the private room." Lu Zhen said with a rare good mood.
Even the manager could tell he was happy. He immediately agreed to his request and led them to the private room first before leaving to fulfill what was asked.
Lu Zhen had been coming here for so long that he knew their menu by heart, but he wanted Leng Pan to see it for herself and choose what she wanted to eat.
The menu was brought by the manager within two minutes.
Leng Pan took it and looked through the dishes offered, especially their signature dishes and desserts.
"What dishes do you like to eat here?" She asked her husband.
Lu Zhen went on to list everything he had tasted and what he liked.
The manager was shocked to see how patient he was, explaining something as trivial as his favorite dishes.
He never thought that the cold-faced heir of Lu Group could be so gentle and patient towards a woman.
After Leng Pan marked all of her husband's favorite dishes, she ordered some that she thought looked good for herself and returned the menu.
The dishes were served within twenty minutes and they ate in a hurry since they still had many things to do and they had family waiting at home.
After dinner, Leng Pan excused herself and said she was going to the bathroom. She asked Lu Zhen to wait for her in the private room and went out.
Instead of going to the bathroom, she went to look for the manager.
The manager seeing the woman who had brought CEO Lu to his knees didn't dare to slight her, he got up and warmly welcomed her.
"Mrs. Lu, what can I do for you?"
Leng Pan was first startled by that form of address, then she was overjoyed and smiled. That title of Mrs. Lu sounded pretty good. She liked it very much.
"Can I place a big order of Lu Zhen's favorite dishes? I want to share them with people in the company to celebrate our marriage.
But I want it to be a surprise, so better not tell him." She made her request.
She was preparing for the apocalypse and had ordered a lot of the dishes she liked from different restaurants and street food stalls, but none for her husband.
She couldn't always produce her favorite dishes in the future but had none for Lu Zhen.
"Of course Madam, we can do that. When do you need them?" The manager agreed readily.
This was another big client, of course he was happy to cater to her whims.
"Tomorrow at noon, is it possible? The order is quite big. If you are understaffed I can pay extra so you can hire more people to fulfill it." Leng Pan knew that her order was short notice and even though the restaurant was large, the employees worked in shifts, it would be difficult to fulfill. That was why she offered to pay more.
"If Madam can pay more then I can call everyone who is off duty to come and work overtime. With extra pay, I am sure they will be happy to fulfill your order. You can have everything ready by noon tomorrow." The manager agreed again readily.
This was another god of wealth, he had to please her.
"Alright, once the food is ready, pack it in disposable dishes and bring them to this address. She gave her parents' villa address.
Once it's delivered, I will find a way to create a surprise party, so please try to deliver the food early.
This is the password for the villa, when you unload the food since I might not be around, place it in the kitchen and living room. It should fit."
After giving such instructions, Leng Pan took out a black card from her purse and gave it to the manager to swipe for the payment.
"You can just deduct all the payments. No need for the deposit. Also, add the additional payment you would need for the extra employees." She didn't really care how much he deducted.
Money would become useless by tomorrow night anyway. So, spending more didn't matter.
The manager was happy and smiling so widely that his lips almost touched his ears. Such a generous client wasn't easy to come by. He must make sure everything is done efficiently. That way, she would place more orders in the future.
He took the black card with trembling hands and swiped it to transfer the money for payment.
"Don't worry madam, we will use the freshest ingredients and make sure everything is of high quality." The manager promised as he gave back the card.
"Thank you." Leng Pan took back her black card and left.
She went back to the private room where Lu Zhen was still waiting. Upon seeing her, he got up, held her hand and left the restaurant.
"Can you tell me now what it was you were talking about concerning the growth of future generations?" After they got into the car, Leng Pan couldn't wait to ask.
"You said that civilization will basically collapse and people will be thrown back into the dark era of no communication, no internet, no progressive production of goods and such.
So, what about education? What will happen to the children born in the future?" Lu Zhen posed a sensible question and Leng Pan realized that she never thought about it.
Yes, what will happen to the children born in an era where there were no books, no education materials, no story books or movies, no educational documentaries.
It would be terrible.
"So, are we going to buy books?" She asked.
