Chapter 94 Private restaurant? The others were stunned. That sounds good and stylish. Arthur was the first to speak. Iliteyes were bright. I went to a more upscale private restaurant once. It was very expensive, but the food was not as good as Mom’s. I think Mom can totally give it a try” Maria said hesitantly. “I-I think Mom should go the high-end route too.” Wesley and Claire looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with temptation and hesitation. Claire looked at Athena and said, “Athena, I am opening the restaurant to earn money. Private restaurants have high requirements for culinary skills, right? Do you think I am good enough?” Athena smiled and said. “The so-called private restaurants are simply selling homemade food. “Since they are food made at home, the host decides everything, of course. That includes what to cook how to cook, how many tables to cook for, and how many guests to receive in a day. I think this way of doing business is very much in line with Mom’s ideal.” Athena paused slightly and picked up the pear her family brought back from the country. “Besides, isn’t our oldest brother growing vegetables and raising chickens in the country? If you open a private restaurant, you can buy ingredients from him. Not only can you reduce the cost, but you can also ensure the freshness and deliciousness of the ingredients. Isn’t that killing two birds with one stone?” These reasons moved Claire. She thought for a moment and said, “I mainly make home-cooked food. They are not rare or unique. If I don’t accept many customers, will I make a profit?” “Mommy, vegetables grown in the wild are more expensive than meat these days, Athena smiled and said. “As long as you cook well and the ingredients are good, you can set a higher price. Rich people don’t care about this. “Let’s take my favorite foie gras with gingerbread toast as an example. A good restaurant usually sells it for about ten dollars apiece. If you sell it for 30 dollars apiece, do you think you’ll make a profit? Can you earn back the cost of opening the restaurant?”
“30 dollars apiece?” Claire, Arthur, and Maria gasped slightly. “Isn’t that too expensive?” Claire pointed out, “Although the gingerbread toast is made by me and should be more expensive with the foie gras added. isn’t 30 dollars per serving too expensive when it’s just bread?” Athena thought. My family is so honest. She smiled and replied. The rich people I know only care about whether it’s delicious. They never care about the price. Tell me, if you can sell it at such a price, will you do it?” Claire said, “If it does sell, of course I’ll do it.” Wesley did not seem to care about these problems. He asked, “These prices target the rich but the rich have high requirements in the dining environment. “I have some understanding of private restaurants too. If we want to open a private restaurant, we can’t open it just anywhere. We have to choose the right location and decor. It will require a lot of time, energy, and financial resources. With our family’s current situation, can we really do it?” “We’ll only know after we look into it. Athena was not in a hurry to make a decision. “How about this? I’ll bring everyone to some signature private restaurants in Kitmore City to eat tomorrow. We’ll inspect their decor, food, prices, services, and so on. Then, we’ll judge if we can do it, “These restaurants are quite expensive, but don’t worry. The rich second-generation heirs in our laboratory have all kinds of VIP cards and discount cards. I use their cards to eat. It doesn’t cost much.” Chapter 91 Claire said carefully, “That’s true, but is it bad for you to do this “It’s fine” Athena waved her hand. “I’m the best student in our laboratory and have helped them a lot. They can’t wait for me to take advantage of them so that they can copy my homework in the future. Everyone was speechless. But since the straight-A student had already said so, they would be insensible if they didn’t listen. Wesley said straightforwardly, “I’ve just started at the new company and am rather busy. I have to work this weekend. You guys can go with Athena tomorrow and enjoy eating. I won’t be joining you.” Since Wesley said so, the others relaxed and looked forward to the next day.

“Signature private restaurants?” Arthur smacked his lips. “Sounds delicious. I can’t wait” Athena smiled and said. “The words ‘private restaurant sound mysterious and grand, but you might think it’s just so-so after cating there.” They laughed when they heard that, feeling much more relaxed Wesley looked at the time. “It’s almost ten o’clock. I’m going to accompany your beautiful mom for a beauty treatment. You guys can go play. Just don’t sleep too late.” The couple went upstairs. Maria stood up. “I’m going for a checkup tomorrow before I start work. I’m going to rest.” Athena asked curiously, “Don’t you watch the popular drama every night? Aren’t you going to watch it tonight?” “I’m not watching it anymore,” Maria said angrily, “Mom told me that the main lead in that drarna is the son of the Kennedy family who bullied our family. I’m not watching his show anymore. Furthermore, I’m going to give him a bad review.” Athena did not know whether to laugh or cry. “There’s no need to sacrifice so much. It’s just a drama.” “No, definitely not. Maria was very insistent. Those who bully our family are my enemies. We can’t show mercy to them.” Athena shook her head with a smile and returned to the annex building with Maria. When Maria reached the door of her room, she suddenly thought of something. “Athena, isn’t Dwayne learning Maiselish? He even persuaded me to learn it together. I think I should too. He asked me to ask you when you’re free so we can learn together. We can do it at home or at the park, cafe, library. Anywhere else is fine too. Athena smiled and said, “Do you really believe he wants to learn Maiselish from me?”. Maria said curiously, “Of course, I believe him. Dwayne is very motivated. He often reads and likes to study various hairstyles and styles. He even said he would like to go overseas to watch fashion shows. I admire him very much.” Athena was speechless. She had no experience dealing with such matters. She wasn’t sure if Maria would suspect her of interfering in her private affairs and freedom if she directly told Maria her
judgment of Dwayne. After some thought, Athena said, “Maria, if you like a man or have a boyfriend, but your family feels that his character is not good and doesn’t approve of you hanging out with him, what will you do?” IL Maria were the type who would lose her head when she was in love or had a huge reaction, Athena would take it slow and not be too hasty. Maria said without hesitation, “Til break up with that man immediately, of course.” Athena was surprised. “What? Just like that?”
