"Why are you leaving without finishing your meal? Is the food not to your liking?" Chief Liu asked with concern.
"No, the manager of this restaurant asked me to leave. How can I stay here?" Liu Jie shook her head, looking depressed.
Chief Liu's face turned green.
"Where's the manager!?" He roared. The entire hall shook, and the waiter rushed into the kitchen.
"Who is it? Why are you shouting? Don't you know the rules?" After a while, the manager walked out slowly. His mouth was still stained with sauce.
"Come here, come here."
Chief Liu beckoned with his finger. The manager, who looked like he was idling around, immediately tensed up. He quickened his pace and walked over with a respectful smile.
"Chief Liu, you were looking for me?" The manager was very polite.
Slap.
The crisp sound of a slap made everyone's jaw drop. Chief Liu's temper was unparalleled.
A palm print appeared on the manager's face. He was shocked and angry. "Chief Liu, why did you hit me!"
"I hit you. You blind dog. In my eyes, you are nothing. How dare you kick my daughter out of the door?" Chief Liu scolded angrily.
"Chief Liu, she's your daughter?
I didn't know. They say that ignorance is not a crime. You don't have to be so angry. "The manager was unconvinced.
Chief Liu did not waste any more time. He found the hotel owner, a refined middle-aged man.
After he knew the whole story, he scolded the manager. The manager, who had been holding onto a glimmer of hope, instantly became a frosted eggplant.
"Later, find the accountant to calculate your salary. You don't have to come anymore." The hotel owner was decisive and decided to punish him.
"Ah."
The manager's face turned red. He smiled bitterly. "Boss, don't be like this. I've been with you all these years. Even if I don't have any merits, I've worked hard. How can I resign just like that?"
"Who's the boss?
If you keep dawdling, you can forget about your salary. "
Hearing this, the manager became dejected and gave up on pleading for leniency. He was not an idiot. With one glance, he recognized the culprit. It was Little Yellow Feather.
Just now, he saw the blondie stuffing a few hundred-yuan bills to him. It could be said that he deserved to lose his job for a small profit.
"F * ck you, you idiot. It's all your fault that I lost my job!"
He directly rushed over to tear him apart. Goldie's legs were not good, so how could he be a match for him? He was beaten until he cried out in pain. The scene was indescribably comical.
A few minutes ago, the blonde had been patting us and gloating over our misfortune. But now, he had become a rat crossing the street.
The owner of the restaurant knew the ways of the world. He hurried to apologize to us and paid double the price. He told the customers in the lobby that it was the manager's fault. They didn't discriminate against customers.
Then, he brought us to the private room on the second floor. Although the power and status were intangible, they could be seen everywhere.
With the restaurant's owner leading the way, those young ladies looked at us in a different light.
Then, he ordered a table full of sumptuous dishes. I was dazzled and couldn't help but want to eat. The restaurant owner introduced the dishes to us personally. He told us about the origin of each dish and how to eat it.
My uncles laughed. It was true. When the manager had chased us away, he had intentionally mocked Liu Jie and me, saying that they didn't want to cooperate with Little Yellow Feather's program. Now that they knew that Liu Jie had a high status, their attitudes had changed dramatically.
"Little brother, try this. It's a mussel. We men should eat more. Soak it in the hotpot and dip it in the sauce. It's delicious and nutritious!" He pointed at a big plate.
It looked like something that all men had. With his introduction, I could vaguely guess what effect it had.
"Okay, okay. Give it to my cousin and the others."
I laughed. I almost blurted out that my sister-in-law had told my cousin's secret when she was drunk.
After all, it was something that men couldn't talk about. "Beauty, and this East Star Spot. It's good for your skin, and the meat is tender and smooth."
He even brought two bottles of Maotai liquor for my cousins. The two of them were as happy as monkeys and thanked him.
The restaurant owner personally picked up a piece and gave it to my sister-in-law. I had to say that it wasn't a coincidence that a businessman could be successful. He didn't put on airs, and he took care of everyone's emotions. He gave people a warm feeling.
"Boss, you're too polite. This table costs at least eight to ten thousand," my sister-in-law said, feeling flattered.
"Eight to ten thousand?!" I was so shocked that my jaw almost dropped. All my expenses in one year weren't even that much.
This wasn't food at all. It was purely burning money. I thought it would only be eight to one thousand at most.
"It's okay. As long as everyone is happy. This isn't something that can be measured by money." The restaurant owner shook his head. We weren't stupid. To put it bluntly, he was giving President Liu face.
"Jier, are you satisfied with the way I handled it just now?" President Liu didn't touch his chopsticks. He might have eaten first.
"Hmph, you're just a hindsight. If it wasn't for Xiao Feng -ge, I would have been taken advantage of long ago." Liu Jie didn't eat much either. It seemed that she wasn't in a good mood.
I felt strange. Why was Liu Jie so cold when she saw her father? She was just like me, a wanderer who missed home. Sigh, this girl really doesn't know how lucky she is.
"Brother Xiao Feng -ge?
It's this boy? "
President Liu's gaze moved to me. Although his gaze was very perceptive, it wasn't that easy to see through me.
Liu Jie nodded. Her beautiful eyes flashed with shyness.
"Thank you, young man." President Liu extended his hand. His attitude was quite good.
I shook his hand and started to eat. He looked at me meaningfully, but didn't say anything.
This table of dishes that cost eighteen thousand was indeed delicious. I didn't want to put down my chopsticks. The restaurant owner patted my shoulder and told me that if I want to eat in the future, I can come over anytime. He even handed me a business card.
The food was delicious, but it was too expensive. I couldn't come here to eat and drink for free. I would owe him a favor. After eating, President Liu wanted to send Liu Jie back to school. However, she didn't want to and wanted to go with me.
President Liu gave me a pleading look. "Our car is quite crowded. Just go with your dad," I persuaded.
"Alright then."
I felt that it was a mess. They were clearly pretending to be a couple, but they made it seem like it was real. Liu Jie didn't listen to her father, but listened to me. What was this?
Not long after, they drove away. "Fuck, Panamera," my cousin exclaimed.
"What's gone?" Uncle frowned and asked.
"Dad, I'm talking about the model of the car. That car just now cost at least a million!" Cousin explained.
Then, he said to me with a smile.
"So rich!
Xiao Feng, you're really capable. She's pretty, and her family is rich. You should coax her and try to get pregnant soon. What's done can't be undone. You'll be a live-in son-in-law. It's the glory of our village. "
Uncle also agreed. In the past, he often said bad things about me. Every time my cousin made a mistake, he would push the blame to me. Uncle loved his reputation. I remembered clearly that when I was young, my cousin used a few candies to get me to pick a few acres of watermelons. Then, he ran to my uncle to ask for credit and rewarded him with a thousand kuai. Anyway, all the good things were my cousin's credit, and all the bad things were my fault.
Hearing them echo each other, I was speechless.
How could there be such a relative who didn't encourage me to study hard, but encouraged me to date. Luckily, my cousin's wife didn't say anything. I felt slightly better. Just as I was holding onto my wishful thinking, my cousin interrupted.
"Xiao Feng, you've hidden it well. Sister-in-law doesn't even know when you got a girlfriend." I could feel that her dissatisfaction had a double meaning.
However, I couldn't say it out loud. If my cousin noticed my strange feelings towards sister-in-law, it wouldn't be good.
