Shi Nianyao turned to Mo Xicheng and said, "Let's go and eat. I'm sure they serve delicious food there!"
It was a chance to help her brother advertise.
She would make sure to ask him for an advertising reward when she got home.
She thought this to herself as they made their way to the restaurant.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Li Xue quickly took the lead. The waitress greeted and welcomed them in French.
Li Xue immediately replied in French.
Actually, there were two service options for this type of French restaurants in China.
The staff who worked in such places spoke both French and Mandarin.
Because it was a French restaurant, they always greeted their patrons in French. If the patron replied in Mandarin, then they would provide their service in Mandarin.
Since Li Xue had replied in French, the waitress assumed that they preferred to be served in French. Hence from that point on, they spoke in French.
