Chapter 161: Chapter 161: You Are Not Welcome Here_1
Fatty Winter Melon pulled out his latest model of the iFeng smartphone, which was encased in a shell of 24K pure gold, studded with diamonds.
At a glance, it was obviously very expensive.
"Sorry! I don’t add strangers on WeChat."
Yu Keqing directly refused.
Such low-level pick-up attempts were common for her, so she didn’t care at all.
A polite word, send them away, and that was that.
Yu Keqing’s refusal made Fatty Winter Melon’s face, which had been smiling like an Arhat, suddenly contort with several folds of flesh, twisting into a fierce grimace.
Fatty Winter Melon was named Huang Pingliang, and he was the chairman of Tianliang Group.
Two years ago, Tianliang Group was hardly known.
But within a mere two years, through various acquisitions and mergers, Tianliang Group had become one of Zhonghai’s top ten enterprises.
"Beauty, are you not giving me face? Do you know who I am?"
"I don’t care who you are."
"I’m Huang Pingliang, the Huang Pingliang of Tianliang Group!"
Ignored by Yu Keqing, Huang Pingliang announced his identity.
Originally, he thought that as soon as he mentioned Tianliang Group, it would scare Yu Keqing senseless.
However, there wasn’t the slightest reaction on Yu Keqing’s pretty face.
She had heard of Tianliang Group. Compared to the Qin Family’s Sanrenhe Group or even compared to the Xue Family’s Haiyun Group, it was nothing but a trivial matter, not worth mentioning.
Seeing that Huang Pingliang was stubbornly not leaving, Yu Keqing didn’t want to deal with him.
Qin Feng, who originally didn’t want to get involved, reluctantly spoke up.
"If the lady doesn’t want to add you on WeChat, you should take the hint and leave quickly. As for the notoriety of your so-called Tianliang Group, it’s not something to be proud of, so stop flaunting it uselessly. The lady isn’t impressed by your tactics."
"Who do you think you are? Is it your place to interrupt when I’m speaking?"
Huang Pingliang sized up Qin Feng and noticed the young man was wearing nothing but cheap street market clothes, obviously just a poor loser.
Greenland Restaurant was a high-end Western restaurant; how could a poor loser be allowed in here?
Such a person coming in was a blow to the restaurant’s class, wasn’t it?
"Waiter, call your manager Liu over."
Soon, a beautiful woman in an OL suit skirt, clicking her high heels, hurried over.
She was Liu Jiameng, the lobby manager of Greenland Restaurant.
As soon as she saw Huang Pingliang, Liu Jiameng’s face lit up brighter than flowers.
"Mr. Huang, welcome! We’re glad to have you, and we hope you enjoy your meal!"
"Enjoy my meal? I’m having a terrible time!"
Huang Pingliang pointed at Qin Feng and asked, "What’s going on here?"
At this question, Liu Jiameng became somewhat bewildered.
"Mr. Huang, is there anything I can do for you? I will provide the most attentive service to make you satisfied."
"You claim that Greenland Restaurant is the most upscale Western restaurant in Zhonghai, but you let this lousy loser waltz in and dine, how can you still call yourselves upscale? You even accommodate such smelly losers. I think your standards are not even as good as a roadside stall!"
Reminded by Huang Pingliang, Liu Jiameng gave Qin Feng another look.
On closer inspection, she suddenly realized.
How did such a smelly loser mix into the restaurant?
So she quickly apologized to Huang Pingliang, "Mr. Huang, I am so sorry! I’ll call security right away and throw him out! Security! Security!"
Just as Liu Jiameng called out, Yu Keqing stood up.
"Does your restaurant judge people by their appearance? We’re dining here—are we not paying, or what? Calling security to throw someone out? Who gave you the audacity?"
Liu Jiameng glanced at Yu Keqing.
Although she didn’t recognize Yu Keqing, from her dress, she knew Yu Keqing must be a wealthy person.
The clever woman had already guessed why Huang Pingliang was picking a fight with this table.
It must have been because that old lecher Huang Pingliang had taken a fancy to this beauty and deliberately came over to cause trouble.
Though it was Huang Pingliang who started the trouble, Liu Jiameng would still take his side.
After all, Huang Pingliang was a VIP customer of Greenland Restaurant, spending over ten million at the restaurant every year.
Oftentimes, a single bottle of wine would cost hundreds of thousands.
Greenland Restaurant had been invested in and established by Haiyun Group two years ago.
At first, the restaurant had been doing quite well.
In the last six months, as more and more similar Western restaurants emerged, Greenland Restaurant’s competitive edge had been sliding.
The daily turnover had dropped by a whopping fifty percent compared to six months ago.
If they were to lose a valuable customer like Huang Pingliang, the restaurant’s performance would become even more dismal.
It could get to the point where year-end bonuses might not be paid out.
With a professional smile on her face, Liu Jiameng used a professional tone to show Yu Keqing the door.
"Miss, Greenland Restaurant is the most upscale Western restaurant in Zhonghai. Hence, we have a certain dress code for our customers. This gentleman’s attire truly isn’t suitable for dining in our restaurant. We can’t accommodate you this evening, please understand!"
"Are you trying to kick us out?" Yu Keqing asked coldly.
"Not kick out, but rather ask you to leave, as you two don’t fit in here. Perhaps those street stalls over there would suit your temperament better. The two of you should dine in such places, not somewhere as high-class as Greenland Restaurant."
Yu Keqing was very angry.
She had just wanted to treat Qin Feng to a meal, but had encountered such an incident.
But she was helpless.
If the restaurant manager was telling her to leave, and they weren’t welcomed here, what could she say?
She cared about her face, of course, and could only leave.
"Let’s go! Let’s find another place."
Yu Keqing pulled Qin Feng to leave.
However, Qin Feng didn’t move.
Upon entering, Qin Feng had noticed that this Greenland Restaurant had the logo of Haiyun Group; it was part of Haiyun Group’s properties.
Having been mixed up with Xue Xiaochan for so long, Qin Feng was fairly clear about what properties were under Haiyun Group’s umbrella.
This Greenland Restaurant, he had heard Xue Xiaochan mention it before.
At the time, Xue Xiaochan was looking at the restaurant’s financial statements.
After looking, Xue Xiaochan was puzzled and asked, how had such a good restaurant suddenly taken a nosedive in performance?
Today, when Yu Keqing said she would treat him to a meal and even picked Greenland Restaurant as the location,
Qin Feng thought to come and see what the problem with the restaurant actually was.
What Qin Feng hadn’t expected was that before he even had a bite of the dishes he had ordered, he was about to be chased away?
Then, wouldn’t tonight’s investigation be a waste?
Thus, even if he had to be shameless, he had to stay here.
No matter what, he had to finish his meal before discussing anything else.
"Why change? The dishes have been ordered, let’s just eat here."
Qin Feng’s refusal to leave made Huang Pingliang happy.
In fact, he didn’t want Qin Feng to leave either.
Because if Qin Feng left, he would have no one left to humiliate.
How boring that would be!
