“How can I help you?” Tang Zi Cheng stared at manager Liu so hard, he made him feel uneasy. “Of course.”
“Wha… What is it, sir? I’ll assist you to the best of my ability, Mr Tang.”
Manager Liu said this with a smile, even though he did not approve of Tang Zi Cheng’s manner today.
Seeing the look in Tang Zi Cheng’s eyes, he knew that Tang Zi Cheng was angry and displeased.
“Manager Liu, my acquaintance was driven away from your Pien Shien restaurant. What will you do about this?” Tang Zi Cheng spoke coldly.
“What?!?” Manager Liu’s facial expression changed until he had to exclaim in alarm.
It was not only him who was like this, but the waiter was as well. He saw Bai Chen standing behind Tang Zi Cheng, and he knew right away that this was all about him.
How could he not be alarmed? His heart pounded fast. He knew that he was doomed.
If he had known that Bai Chen was an acquaintance of Tang Zi Cheng, a man so powerful that his manager was being this polite with him, he would not have insulted Bai Chen and driven him away from Pien Shien restaurant.
“Wha… What is this about, Mr Tang? Who dared to chase away your acquaintance? I’ll take care of it right away!”
After trying to control his emotions, manager Liu’s face broke into a sweat. He quickly spoke with a trembling voice.
This was because he was scared…Yes, he was certainly scared that Tang Zi Cheng would tell his boss, the owner of Pien Shien restaurant, about this.
If so, he would be fired as a penalty for not training the restaurant employees well. They’d even dared to drive Tang Zi Cheng’s acquaintance away.
The face of the waiter, who was standing at the manager’s side, was pale white at hearing that the manager would handle him.
“Manager…” he tried to explain, but manager Liu flashed him an angry look. He suddenly stopped and did not dare to explain again.
Tang Zi Cheng did not reply. He turned to the waiter instead.
It was impossible for manager Liu to not notice this. His facial expression changed. He did not expect that the one who had driven Tang Zi Cheng’s acquaintance away would have been standing beside him all along. Moreover, he was the one who’d just fetched him.
“Yong Gang, how dare you?!?” Manager Liu shouted at the waiter named Yong Gang. He pointed his trembling finger at Yong Gang. It was obvious that he was angry.
“Manager Liu, I can explain,” Yong Gang tried again.
“What is there to explain? Get the hell out of my restaurant. You’re fired!” Manager Liu did not care to listen to Yong Gang. He was afraid that if he did not fire the waiter, Tang Zi Cheng would be upset.
“Manager…” Yong Gang’s facial expression changed. He did not expect to be fired just because of a small matter. He had already been working here for a year.
Suddenly, Yong Gang felt like this was unjust. He did not think that he had anything wrong. Bai Chen was the one who was at fault in that he’d dressed like a poor man and had thought to come into a luxurious restaurant like Pien Shien.
“You darn Liu! You dare to fire me?!?”
Yong Gang’s anger gathered; he shouted at manager Liu. He also pointed his finger at him.
It was only normal for him to be angry because he thought that this was unjust.
“What did you say?” Manager Liu’s face darkened at seeing Yong Gang’s reaction. “You dare shout at me?”
“Yes!” Yong Gang was furious. He did not care anymore whether or not he was fired.
“And what if I did, fatty Liu!?”
“You…Get out of my face right now or I’ll call my people to take care of you!” The manager was very angry.
However, he was not so angry that he had lost all his senses. He did not throw a punch at Yong Gang and chose to threaten him instead.
It was because he did not want to start a fight in front of Tang Zi Cheng. If this continued, he would have to go make a report to the police. That was not what he wanted.
That was why he chose to issue a threat instead.
“You…” Yong Gang gritted his teeth. He pointed his finger at the manager angrily.
“I’ll make you regret this. Remember that! I’ll get you” Yong Gang finally shouted at the manager one last time and walked away.
However, he did not simply walk past Bai Chen. He gave Bai Chen a furious look. “And you, too! Remember me! I’ll come back for you!”
Bai Chen frowned a little but did not say anything back. He did not even care about what was said.
If Yong Gang didn’t do anything, Bai Chen would not do anything. However, if he wanted a fight, Bai Chen would not hesitate to give him one.
“On behalf of the restaurant, I deeply apologise for letting this happen, Mr Tang.”
After seeing Yong Gang walk away, the manager suppressed his anger and breathed normally. He finally spoke politely to Tang Zi Cheng.
“It’s all right. Thank you for taking care of it.” Tang Zi Cheng nodded, satisfied at the manager’s actions.
“Dear, let’s go inside. We’re attracting attention here,” Tang Yien said.
Tang Zi Cheng swept his eyes around, People were looking at him. He understood that it was because of the ruckus just now.
He nodded once at his wife and turned to look at Bai Chen.
“Mr Bai Chen, if you don’t mind, I’d like to invite you to dine with us.”
Bai Chen did not answer right away. He thought for a minute and eventually nodded.
“No problem. And thank you for taking care of things for me.”
As the couple had gone out of their way to take care of Yong Gang for him, even though he had not wanted them to, Bai Chen decided to accept their invitation and thanked them.
Thus, he ended up dining with them.
“This will be the best,” Tang Yien said with a smile.
“Manager Liu, please prepare a VIP room for us and get us every dish there is,” Tang Zi Cheng turned to say to manager Liu.
“Right away, sir. Please follow me,” Manager Liu quickly replied.
After that, Bai Chen followed Tang Zi Cheng, Tang Yien, and the manager into Pien Shien restaurant.
