Gourmet: From a Stall in Northern Europe-Chapter 176 - 137: Going All Out for a Good Meal_2

"Oh right, I almost forgot, let's add four more slices!"

No wonder the Head Chef dared to prepare it in advance, who can resist such delicious fish soup!

Forget mixing it with rice noodles, even mixing it with rice, dipping bread, pairing with mashed potatoes, it tastes good with anything!

"Is there any fried chicken nearby? I bet this fish paste as dip would be incredibly tasty!"

"Honey, are you out of your mind? What fried chicken place is open at this hour!"

"You've had three bites, hurry up and give me some, I'm hungry too."

"Noodles? Gone?? Are you a pig! Boss, it's free to refill the noodles, right? Give us two more portions."

These two couples are clearly past that stage, bickering noisily and even getting physical, without any hesitation, it finally makes him feel a lot better.

Just fearful of those in the honeymoon phase flaunting their love before you, who wouldn't find that sickening?

Lucas had nothing to do, pinching his chin, pondering how to attract guests, then recalled a method used previously. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Putting up posters at the elevator entrance and reception!

"Elise!"

Though upset about this guy snooping into her privacy, promoting business for the chef is still necessary, after all, he is a leader and even tried to help her find a date, this favor must be returned.

Speaking of posters, it's actually just a color print, choosing one from the photos Lucas took would suffice.

...

On the highway.

A business SUV is speeding, scarcely a few cars can be seen driving around.

"Dreya, wake up, stop sleeping, we're almost at the destination."

The man in the passenger seat turned around and slapped her knee a few times.

"Taking advantage of the sparse morning crowd, go to the beach in front of the hotel for some photo shoots, they sincerely agreed to let you be the hotel's promotional model, you should give your 200% spirit and professionalism to acknowledge it, understood?"

"Yeah, yeah, understood, heard it with both ears."

Dreya impatiently waved her hand.

It's just a few photos, isn't it something that could be easily done in a few minutes, why wake her up in advance?

They might as well let her sleep ten more minutes.

"By the way, what about Anna, who sticks to you like glue, why isn't she here this time? I remember several brands had a good impression of her, with a little more effort, she could make a name."

Anna?

Anna...

"Anna!!!!!!"

She suddenly shot up from her seat.

No wonder she felt like she forgot something, turns out she forgot to ask Anna if she wanted to come along!

After all, Anna usually has no activities to attend, mostly self-training, occasionally taking classes.

If she asked, there wouldn't be a problem bringing her along, treat it as a trip, and she could meet and get to know different brand representatives.

"Oh no, oh no, if Anna finds out I came to Dieppe alone, she'll definitely be upset!"

"?"

The manager stared at her full of bewilderment: "You're a celebrity model, yet you're scared of this? She's just a rookie anyway."

"You don't get it, this is our precious friendship as women."

Dialing the number, the dull connection sound on the other end was like a giant hammer pounding on her heart.

After ringing for more than ten seconds, the phone finally picked up.

"...Hello?"

Clearly, she was woken up by the call.

"Hey, Anna, you might be mad hearing this, but don't be, I was dragged out in a daze this morning too..."

After explaining the situation simply, Anna on the other end fell into a long silence.

"So, you mean, in ten minutes you'll arrive at the Radisson Hotel? And then wear a beautiful, sexy bikini for promotional photos?"

"Not only can you enjoy a free luxurious ocean view suite provided by the hotel, the azure sky, clear sea, and golden beach, but also eat the dishes made by Lin?"

"Uh... if nothing unexpected happens, that's correct."

"The hotel also invites you to participate in Monday's restaurant opening ceremony, and experience fishing, diving, harvesting, hunting, with the Head Chef tailoring dinner for you using those ingredients?"

"...Yes, you're completely right."

Dreya scratched her cheek awkwardly, glancing at the manager beside her, who shrugged, indicating she shouldn't look at him.

"Isn't the hotel providing you all these perks because you're famous? Can't just let some newbie model enjoy it, right?"

Both understood the harsh reality, life is that brutal.

Anna paused on the other end, "Wait, let me check online."

"Ah? What are you checking?"

"Naturally the hotel information! Don't interrupt, I'll be quick, let me see... during trial opening, the restaurant's dinner reservation quota is only three, but guests can bring friends and family, reservation eligibility is limited to hotel guests?"

"Hey, how about this, I'll figure out a way to get there, can I crash at your suite? After all, the suite wouldn't just have one room, I'll pay for catching seafood and harvesting veggies, the ingredients count as your spoils, and I'll crash your dinner reservation, what do you say?"

"Sure, I have no objections."

Dreya instinctively agreed, after all, she doesn't need to pay, and the hotel room would be empty otherwise, the manager and driver, both being men, wouldn't share a room with her.

"Wait! What are you talking about, how come you have no objections? What did she say, put it on speaker for me."

"She said she'll handle getting here on her own, share the suite with me, pay for activities herself, and use my ingredients, latch onto my dinner reservation for a meal, it's pretty reasonable."

"Uh... wait, this is a hotel perk, we should consult them, what if they want them solely for you, then it wouldn't work."

"Impossible!"

Anna shouted angrily on the other end: "If they're offering Dreya so many perks, they evidently want a collaboration, why can't I as her good friend crash there? It's not like other activities aren't paid!"

"Don't yell! Let me make a call to ask around."

The manager was quite troubled by Anna.

Not particularly striking in appearance, no standout features, just at the normal model level, business skill is barely competent, everything is overly balanced with no highlights.

Unlike Dreya, an outstanding model with standout features across the board, how did these two even become friends?

Hard to fathom.

The call was quickly answered, he immediately leaned forward and softened his tone.

"Good morning sir, I'm Dreya's manager, yes, I'm really sorry to interrupt your rest, it's like this..."

"What? Hers is free too?? How can that be, she's just an ordinary model!"

After a few exchanges, the call was disconnected.

The man wasn't angered by the hang-up, but instead had greater respect.

He'd never seen such generous partners; the previous big brands were all penny-pinchers, wanting every advantage.

This side was different, proactively providing, even with buy one get one free, not only agreeing for them to share a room with Dreya but waiving all activity fees.

The expenses might not be high, but this magnitude is enormous, leaving no room for bargaining, the call was straightforwardly disconnected, a steadfast decision to give.

The more generous partners are, the more cautious you need to be when dealing with them.

Commerce is a battlefield, advantages aren't easy to gain.

At this moment, he even started doubting whether they had an eye on Dreya.

Such things aren't uncommon.

"Haha, see, I told you they'd agree!"

Due to the speaker, Anna clearly heard the call, and laughed triumphantly.

"I'm not chatting with you anymore, I've got to pack up and find a way to get there soon; good luck on the shoot~"

"You fool! Really think the freebies are easily grabbed?"

The manager couldn't help but curse.

You can't learn from Dreya, just use your brain a bit, can you!

"Oh come on, nothing to fear, if they've got eyes on Dreya, I'll step in and delay, problem solved, bye~"
