C268 A Poor Man Meets a Rich Man the System Mission Is Issued

The sound of high heels echoed down the corridor.

The waitress casually tossed her handbag into a trash can along the way and approached Room 308.

Inside, the suite was the epitome of luxury.

The main room boasted a round table large enough to seat around twenty people.

Adjacent to it was a smaller room with a dining table perfect for children's meals.

A set of sofas provided a cozy spot for guests to sip tea and converse post-dinner, and there was also a restroom.

The decor was upscale, with paintings of majestic mountains and flowing rivers adorning the walls.

The room was adorned with antique-style furnishings.

The chairs were intricately carved from pear wood, and the solid wood table exuded elegance.

Lin Dong was ushered to the seat of honor.

Bashan, nursing an injury, was seated next to Lin Dong.

The rest of the group, unconcerned with seating hierarchy, found their places.

The waitress who had led them in was now gone.

Lee Tao, settling into his seat, remarked, "Hey, why hasn't the waitress come over yet?"

"Exactly, we're all seated and yet no one's here to serve us," chimed in another club member.

No sooner had he spoken than a stunningly beautiful waitress with a remarkable presence approached.

Her entrance momentarily hushed the club members, with barely audible gasps of awe slipping through their subdued voices.

While the Jiangnan Banquet's waitstaff were generally commendable, most had average looks; this waitress, however, was exceptionally attractive.

Her demeanor effortlessly overshadowed the other club girls present.

Lin Dong was the only one who seemed unfazed.

He caught the waitress's gaze, which was directed at him, but he did not look away.

She, however, shifted her attention to Lee Tao and smiled, saying, "I apologize for the wait. What would you like to order? Please feel free to select from the menu."

Lee Tao, as if snapping out of a trance, picked up the menu and after a glance, involuntarily inhaled sharply.

The prices were astronomical!

A simple radish dish was priced at 280 yuan—was it laced with gold? And none of the other dishes were under 300 yuan.

Lee Tao swiftly handed the menu to Lin Dong.

As the guest of honor, Lin Dong felt it wouldn't be appropriate not to make a selection.

Unconcerned with the cost, he randomly chose a dish and passed the menu to Bashan.

Bashan, in turn, handed it back to Lee Tao, entrusting him with the ordering.

"Lee Tao, go ahead and order. If fifty thousand isn't enough, I've got more," Lin Dong said, chuckling.

With a net worth in the billions, such an amount was trivial to him.

After all, it was just a meal; how much could it possibly cost?

Emboldened by Lin Dong's encouragement, Lee Tao confidently selected over a dozen dishes, consulting with the club members nearby to add another ten or so.

Once finished, he handed the menu to the nearby waitress.

The waitress accepted it with a smile, scanned the menu with a device, and transmitted the order to the kitchen.

"Your dishes are now being prepared. Please wait a moment. I'll be attending to your needs throughout the meal. If there's anything you require, just let me know," she said cheerfully.

"Sounds great, thank you," Lee Tao replied, nodding with enthusiasm.

He seemed quite taken with the waitress.

Observing this, Lin Dong smiled and stood up. "I'm going to use the restroom. You all continue chatting."

"I'll show you the way," offered the waitress, smiling warmly.

She led the way, and Lin Dong, though he initially wanted to decline, followed without objection upon seeing her eagerness.

Reaching the small suite, they effectively left the buzz of the large suite behind, with only muffled conversations audible.

"You don't need to wait here; I can find my way back," Lin Dong told the waitress upon reaching the restroom.

He appreciated her professionalism and attentive service, but saw no need for her to accompany him further.

"Of course, if you need anything, just call for me," she replied with a smile.

As Lin Dong turned to enter the restroom, the smiling waitress suddenly sprang into action.

A gleaming dagger materialized in her hand, slashing towards Lin Dong's neck.

In that instant, the blade was revealed!

"Ding! Host has activated the random quest, Counterattack Assassin!"

"When confronted with an assassin's sneak attack, the strong must remain composed and launch a counterattack amidst the peril!"

"Reward upon quest completion??? (The reward will be distributed after the quest is completed)"

"Let the show begin!"

The system simultaneously issued a quest.

The situation was dire, with danger on the brink of unfolding!
