Cheng Su decided to host the dinner at her own restaurant, admittedly with her own ulterior motives in mind.
It wasn't about saving money, as she had already planned to foot the bill for the event regardless of its location. The thought of holding the dinner in her restaurant was entirely about seizing the opportunity to drum up publicity for the place.
After all, one guest was the county head and the other a school principal, naturally holding higher status than the otherwise insignificant Cheng Su. If they had a meal at the restaurant and endorsed its offerings, then there would be chances to host such esteemed guests again in the future.
Once the precedent was set, there would be a second time, and that's how opportunities unfold.
Therefore, this time, she had to pull out all the stops.
Cheng Su had inquired in advance about the two dignitaries' preferences and dietary restrictions and then settled the menu with Old Song.
