Although Ancient Zither House is a pet-friendly restaurant, they do have rules. Only those who reserve a private dining room upstairs are permitted to bring pets. Otherwise, with so many tables and customers downstairs, even if some people don't mind, many more might take issue with it, raising hygienic concerns. Even though many areas are divided by screens, the screens' effectiveness is limited.
Therefore, Zheng Xuan, with Mr. Jiao and Yuan Zhiyi in tow, headed directly upstairs to the reserved room. Getting a seat at Ancient Zither House was difficult enough, let alone a private room, which, of course, was several times more expensive than dining in the main hall downstairs.
"Because I know people, I can always enjoy a discount when I come here," Zheng Xuan paused with a somewhat proud tone, "even more than what members receive."
