"Get me a private room and some good dishes."
The middle-aged man in the gray shirt casually lifted the cloth covering his waist. A small gray jade token flashed for a moment, and on it were faintly inscribed two silver characters, "Donghao."
"It turns out we have a distinguished guest. I apologize for not greeting you from afar. Please follow me," said the server, whose attention to detail was indeed astonishing. The gray jade token was exposed for hardly a moment, yet it seemed he had perceived it clearly.
The server smiled subtly at the middle-aged man in the gray shirt, then turned and headed toward the back courtyard.
The middle-aged man in the gray shirt, without saying much, hands behind his back and expressionless, followed.
The two arrived at the courtyard behind the restaurant, turned a corner, and stopped in front of a guest room.
"This room right here," said the server as he bowed to the man, then turned and left without lingering.
