The reporters weren't that easy to dismiss. They were obviously not satisfied with Tong Fei's answer.
They kept pressing her.
Fortunately, the restaurant owner saw the commotion and rushed over. He then said apologetically, "Ms. Tong is my VIP today. Please don't disturb her. Please give me some face and enjoy the dishes we've prepared for you over there. Thank you."
The restaurant owner's words were reasonable. Since it was his opening night, it would be rude to say anything, so the reporters moved away.
Only then did the restaurant owner say with a guilty look on his face, "Tong Fei, sorry for the trouble."
Tong Fei smiled. "Old Zhang, you're being too polite."
"Hmm... Shaoting is here too, uh... With his friends." The restaurant owner said vaguely.
Tong Fei was ecstatic. She knew that Old Zhang and Gu Shaoting were close and Old Zhang would definitely invite him, so she agreed to come and try her luck.
