Just this sound, not to mention Liu Xiaoqin was startled.

Ning Weimin was also shocked.

Because first of all, this place is different.

This is currently the most high-end Western restaurant in Beijing.

Under Pierre Cardon's business strategy of not cutting prices, Maxim's restaurant's per capita consumption is as high as 200 yuan, which is higher than five-star hotels.

Then the quality of the waiters here must be high.

Most of them went to the main store in Paris, France for training, and they have to pass the foreign language and service standards.

Not disturbing guests is the minimum requirement.

As for the customers who come here to eat, 60% are foreigners.

The remaining 20% ​​are Hong Kong businessmen and overseas Chinese coming to Beijing.

The remaining 20% ​​are domestic customers.

There are both locals from the capital and people who come here on business trips from out of town.

The only thing they have in common is that they are basically all consumed with public funds.

In other words, these domestic customers are of a very high level and are as well-dressed as foreigners, overseas Chinese, and Hong Kong tourists, and they are definitely not individual upstarts.

Many celebrities from the literary and entertainment circles have also come, but most of them were invited by Song Huagui on his own initiative in order to expand his social influence.

Take Liu Xiaoqin for example, just because she has friendship with Song Huagui and Ning Weimin, she can eat and drink for free.

If she spent her own money, let alone relying on her fifty yuan salary, she would never be able to do it, even the hard-earned money she earned by visiting acupoints would not be parted.

Therefore, Maxim Restaurant is a rare and quiet place for actors and singers, where they can relax themselves.

No matter how famous or popular a person is, no admirer will bother him or ask for his autograph while staying here.

So what happened today, can it not be a big surprise?

Especially when it happens when someone is blocked at the toilet door.

At this moment, Ning Weimin and Liu Xiaoqin were having the most important private conversation.

This is even more embarrassing and awkward.

Ning Weimin and Liu Xiaoqin looked over together, and the person who called out turned out to be a little girl with dark skin.

Despite his short stature, he is only a middle school student in his late teens or early teens.

But he was actually wearing curls permed with cold perm, and was wearing a strange outfit - a white bat shirt and skinny narrow-leg pants.

Considering that today is Thursday, it is school time again.

Naturally, we know that this girl is definitely not a good student. How else could she be skipping school?

Ning Weimin was fine. Although he thought this little girl was quite impudent, she had a decent demeanor and didn't show any displeasure or care.

But Liu Xiaoqin is a carefree aunt.

Especially if he becomes famous early, it has become his nature to act like a famous person.

Coupled with the 50,000 yuan that Ning Weimin was making a wish for, his emotions were fluctuating violently.

When she saw such a little yellow-haired girl calling her, how could she have the interest to deal with it?

He frowned subconsciously and waved his hand to the little girl indifferently.

"We are talking about important things..."

This was great, Liu Xiaoqin's great disgust immediately made the little girl who was full of expectations and smiling away turned introverted.

The excitement in my heart was directly doused by a head of cold water, and I stood there at a loss.

However, this was not the end, the restaurant manager also heard the sound and came over.

On one side, he was scolding the little girl like a fist and kick.

"What's going on? Didn't I tell you to sit there and wait? Why did you come here by yourself? How can you disturb our guests?"

On the one hand, they were sincere and frightened, nodding and apologizing to Liu Xiaoqin and Ning Weimin.

"I'm sorry, Miss Liu, I'm sorry, Mr. Ning, it was my dereliction of duty."

Then he became more and more aggressive and began to chase the little girl.

"Go, go quickly, get out of here."

In addition, Liu Xiaoqin gave me another roll of the eyes that was not very harmful but extremely insulting.

This severely damaged the little girl's self-esteem.

For a moment, she blushed with embarrassment, bit her lip, and her eyes sparkled, as if she was about to shed tears from sadness.

But at this moment, Ning Weimin intervened.

"Hey, Manager Lu, don't scare her. What's going on? Tell me clearly first..."

Ning Weimin's understanding of the service industry is definitely beyond this era.

In his mind, the more high-level and high-style the business establishment is, the less likely it is to bully customers and always treat others politely.

This is not simply to regard customers as God, but the duty of the service industry.

It represents a kind of cultivation, demeanor, style and business ethics.

As the old saying goes, people who come to your door are treated as customers, and the same applies to the people who serve the store.

This is what a century-old store and a big business owner should look like.

Even if this little girl is not a paying customer, it is not the right time to ask for an autograph, and she has to ask for it from the restaurant.

But the restaurant manager shouldn't be so rude to a half-year-old child. This is considered bullying.

If the little girl left with grievances and sadness, it would obviously be detrimental to the reputation and public image of Maxim's Restaurant, and he couldn't ignore it.

But until now, the restaurant manager still thought it didn't matter.

Obviously, he believes that protecting valued customers is the right thing to do for the restaurant.

"Mr. Ning, this child wants to come to our restaurant to sing. I said she is too young and should study hard. But she begged me for nothing and insisted on giving it a try. Didn't you just keep talking with Mr. Song?

I'm afraid of disturbing you guys, so I can only ask her to sit down and wait for a while. I didn't expect her to be so disobedient and get into trouble. I don't think I'll give it a try, I'll just let her go."

In fact, you can't blame the manager entirely, because people these days are so open and honest about what they order.

State-owned units only value relationships and are very aggressive towards customers who spend money. They don't even do superficial things for obviously vulnerable groups.

In this social environment, it is reasonable for shop owners to bully customers, and even disadvantaged groups will have this consciousness.

Just like this little girl, her face turned pale when she heard these words, and she actually took the initiative to admit her mistake.

"I was wrong, I was wrong. Please, don't drive me away... Manager, manager, can't I just stop getting into trouble? Just forgive me once and let me try. I can really sing...

…”

Seeing that his child was really about to cry, and he needed to take care of the restaurant manager's face, Ning Weimin couldn't blame him face to face, so he could only comfort him with kind words.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, it doesn't matter what he says, it's what I say."

The little girl immediately opened her eyes wide.

Turning around to see Manager Chen looking a little embarrassed, she was obviously even more embarrassed and shouldn't have reacted at the moment.

Ning Weimin smiled to show that he was fine.

"How old are you? I take it you are still in school?"

This is the issue that he focuses on. Child labor cannot be employed.

"I'm eighteen and will graduate from high school soon."

Fortunately, I didn't step into a minefield.

Ning Weimin asked again.

"Then why don't you go on to go to college?"

"Well, I don't study well and I can't pass the exam."

"You just want to sing? Does your family agree?"

"Well, I just want to sing. My mother supports me. I have two tape recorders, both of which my mother bought for me."

"Do you really want to sing here? We are very demanding here. We have to sing real pop songs here. We also have to be able to sing in English. In the first few days, do you know about the performance of the Wei Meng band in Beijing? That's what we need.

of……"

"I know, I even went to see it. I paid twenty-five yuan and bought the tickets at the door. I like their song "Careless Whispers" the most..."

"Hey, you're quite willing to buy a book. Are you willing to buy a five-dollar ticket when it's so high?"

"Then... there's nothing I can do. Who can like them? I can't buy them in line. In fact, I've long wanted to see them with my own eyes. In the past, I would record their songs whenever I heard them on the shortwave radio. But it's expensive.

It’s worth it, the sound, lighting, live drums, and electric bass are all over the place!”
