Chapter 225: Chapter 226: Professional Scammer
“Shit, you… you actually bought the top model?” Li Dapang exclaimed in astonishment.
“Hehe…” Xiao Han chuckled and then said, “That’s right, the top model with full power, 3.0 displacement.”
“Damn, that’s over a million.” Li Dapang couldn’t help but be amazed and said, “I thought you were too stingy to buy it, but it turns out you’re more willing than anyone else.”
Xiao Han simply remained silent, after all, this matter was quite troublesome. If he said it was a gift from Xiaoya, Li Dapang would probably start fantasizing again. So, he simply didn’t tell him the truth and said he bought it himself.
“So, how’s the performance?” Xiao Han changed the subject.
“Do you even have to ask?” Li Dapang said: “The performance is absolutely solid, really great, very satisfying!”
“That’s good.” Xiao Han chuckled.
Li Dapang’s mouth twitched into a sly smile, he glanced at the other party, and then said, “If you need, you could also take my car out for a spin.”
“Really?” Li Dapang’s eyes widened.
A BMW, that’s a chick magnet right there. Li Dapang longed to have a BMW car of his own. But a BMW that costs hundreds of thousands or even over a million is not something an ordinary person can afford. Although Li Dapang had a decent income, buying a BMW seemed out of his reach. But having a BMW to drive would be pretty nice.
Xiao Han immediately laughed and said, “Of course it’s true. Our relationship is great, right?”
“Hehe…” Li Dapang smiled and said, “That’s awesome.”
“By the way, when I’m at college, the car won’t be much use.” Xiao Han looked at Li Dapang and said, “At that time, you can drive me to the provincial city, then bring the car back.”
“Really?!” Li Dapang was even more delighted.
If he could drive Xiao Han’s car while he was studying, it would virtually be no different from owning it himself. He could treat it as his own car, which would be perfect for picking up girls.
Xiao Han’s mouth curved into a mischievous smile, he grinned and said: “When have I ever lied to you!”
“Then why did you buy this car?” Li Dapang looked at Xiao Han, puzzled.
“To drive it,” Xiao Han replied and said, “Occasionally I need to go home on weekends, and you should come to pick me up, right? And sometimes when a car is needed, there’s no need to take the grocery car from the store.”
“Makes sense!” Li Dapang immediately nodded.
Li Dapang was thrilled, he eagerly asked, “Xiao Han, when are you going to the provincial city to register? I’ll take you there.”
“No rush!” Xiao Han shook his head and said, “I will wait until the end of this month; going now won’t have anyone to host you.”
“Oh!” Li Dapang nodded.
The business at Hanmen Number One Store gradually became less bustling. After a few months of booming business, it finally returned to normalcy. Of course, the main reason was that Hanmen Catering Branch No. 2 had taken away a lot of business, which caused the Number One Store to return to normalcy.
Although the business was no longer as booming as before, the current business was still quite profitable. The monthly turnover was several hundred thousand, with a gross profit of over a hundred thousand.
On the other hand, Hanmen Catering Branch No. 2’s business was gradually booming because they had introduced a system of exchanging waiting time for the consumption amount, and people were continuously lining up to eat. Of course, the most important reason was that the restaurant had hired a very good chef, and the restaurant’s decoration style was really intimidating and luxurious, which looked high-end and classy. It was comfortable no matter how you looked at it. Many people who ate there for the first time not only enjoyed the taste but also brought friends to dine with them.
Thus, Hanmen Restaurant Branch No. 2 gained a reputation, spreading from one person to many quickly. It soon attracted a lot of consumer attention. People had a very good impression of Hanmen Restaurant Branch No. 2. The high-end decoration and the pure Chinese style, coupled with excellent dishes, quickly established a good reputation.
Although the price at Hanmen Restaurant was slightly higher than average restaurants, the diners felt it was worth the money. The environment was good, clean and hygienic, and the decoration was very beautiful. The Chinese style decor offered a very homely and comfortable feeling. Most importantly, there was no other restaurant in Linjiang City with such Chinese-style decor, so everyone rushed over here.
Branch No. 2 was very busy; during meal times, it was almost always full. Not only was it full, but even the waiting area at the entrance was packed with people. The restaurant could maintain a full house for two hours continuously. Naturally, the profits were also very substantial.
Xiao Han and Li Dapang were helping out at Branch No. 2, and although the restaurant expanded from ten waiters to twenty, they were still extremely busy. Xiao Han and Li Dapang had their hands full. Liu Xiaolei was in charge of the big picture of the restaurant. Yang Lu was now in charge of the business at Number One Store.
Just at the busiest time around noon, suddenly, a conflict erupted from one of the second floor private rooms. A female waitress ran out crying after being scolded.
“What happened?” Xiao Han quickly asked.
“There are troublemakers on the second floor,” Liu Xiaolei quickly said, “I’ll go up and handle it, you guys hurry up. Don’t delay the diners.”
“Yes!” Xiao Han nodded.
Then, Liu Xiaolei hurried towards the second floor private rooms.

However, the other party still seemed relentless with their logic. They appeared very aggressive. The waitstaff coming down from upstairs were all angry. Xiao Han quickly approached and asked, “What exactly is the matter?”
“They said they found a cockroach in their dish,” a female server spoke up.
“How could that happen?” Xiao Han looked astonished.
“It’s not our fault at all,” the female server continued. “It was their own cockroach that they brought and dropped into the dish themselves. They’re purposely trying to scam us.”
“Then just comp their meal,” Xiao Han said helplessly.
“But they don’t want that!” the female server said angrily, “Just now, Manager Liu told them the meal would be on the house, but they refused. They’re demanding ten thousand in compensation, claiming they were disgusted. Manager Liu refused, and they threatened to expose us.”
“Is this a deliberate setup?” Xiao Han said, a look of anger flashing across his face.
“Yes, what can we do when faced with something like this?” the female server replied helplessly.
“I’ll go upstairs and check on the situation.” Xiao Han immediately headed upstairs. Li Dapang quickly followed him.
After going up, a burst of roaring could be heard coming from the private room.
“Fuck, what a shitty restaurant, damn it, a dead cockroach was found in the food, are you trying to disgust us to death?”
“Compensate us, and if you don’t do it today, I’ll smash this place up.”
In the private room, more than ten sturdy men gathered, having drunk five or six bottles of Five Grain liquor and eaten a table full of good dishes. The bill for this room alone had reached over three thousand. Comping their meal wasn’t even acceptable to them. This was clearly a case of being in the wrong but refusing to back down. Moreover, they were in the wrong.
Xiao Han entered and asked, “Sister Yang, shall I handle this?”
Xiao Han glanced at the group and asked, “Who’s the leader here?”
“We don’t have a leader here,” a very tall sturdy man glanced at Xiao Han, seeing him in his server’s uniform, and dismissed him with contempt, “Have your boss come out to talk, otherwise, we can’t let this go today.”
“It seems you’re the leader here,” Xiao Han retorted.
“Fine, pretend I am,” the man glanced at Xiao Han and then said, “What, kiddo, you want to fight us?”
“I guess you guys are professionals at this scamming business?” Xiao Han coldly stared back.
“Fuck, what did you just say!” the man suddenly got angry.
Clang!
Suddenly, a man with braids grabbed a bowl and viciously hurled it towards Xiao Han. Xiao Han didn’t dodge; the bowl brushed past his sleeve and smashed against the wall behind him. The beautiful wallpaper was instantly punctured with a hole.
Xiao Han turned to look and smiled, “You really are professionals at this, getting angry the moment I touched on the truth.”
“Fuck, what do you want to do, kid?” the tall sturdy man stared coldly at Xiao Han. Xiao Han, facing ten people, showed no fear. He had almost been hit but didn’t flinch, which chilled him inwardly—perhaps this kid had some significant backing?
“Brother,” Xiao Han smiled and said, “People should always leave themselves a way out, don’t burn your bridges. Today, consider this meal on me and let’s call it making new friends. If you’re smart, get out of here quickly. If not, don’t blame me for not being nice.”
Liu Xiaolei looked at Xiao Han, astonished. When Xiao Han spoke those words, she felt immensely surprised and shocked. Xiao Han had always seemed like a weak young boy to her. Not yet twenty years old, handsome, sunny, and well-mannered. But the words he just spoke carried a bold ruffian’s air, as if he were really someone from the underworld.
“Hmph,” the sturdy man snorted coldly, “No matter what you say, you’ve disgusted us today, and we’re really not leaving.”
“Indeed, I’m curious to see what you plan to do with us!” the braided man grinned.
The sturdy man sneered and then said, “Kid, tell us, what are you going to do?”
“Wait,” Xiao Han smiled faintly, then said, “You’ll see what I’m capable of.”
After that, Xiao Han turned around and made a phone call to Liu Si.
“Fourth Master, someone is causing trouble at our place, are you going to let this slide?” Xiao Han asked calmly.
“Handled,” Liu Si chuckled, “Who dares to make trouble on our turf? Are they overfed or what?”
“Professional scammers,” Xiao Han smiled and said, “Let Li Shan bring some guys over to sort them out and make them pay some money.”
