Because he had noticed the manager glancing his way earlier. Sure enough, his phone chimed with a text message a moment later.
Jiang Ce picked it up and saw it was from Liu Cunnian.
"[Brother Jiang, I heard from the hotel staff that they were waiting for you. They only just found out you were already seated for a class reunion. I figured it wouldn't be appropriate to switch private rooms now and didn't want to disturb you, so I had them send the food from the Violet Gold private room down to you. I hope you enjoy your meal!]"
"[Oh, and those two bottles of wine are the King of Wines that I specifically had someone bring back from Roman Winery in Capital City. Hope you like them!]"
Jiang Ce didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
So it was Liu Cunnian's doing. But by a complete fluke, it ended up boosting Shi Lin's prestige.
I only came to have a meal with Zhuang Qiang anyway. As long as my brother is happy, it doesn't matter who gets to show off.
