Chapter 1666: Someone Must Be Stirring Up Trouble
The front desk manager became even more panicked. ℯ𝐥.𝒄ℴ𝓶
"No, no, it’s not that we’re afraid, but, it’s Madam!" She couldn’t hide it any longer; otherwise, she’d be fired today.
Xie Hongjun’s temple throbbed again: "Madam, what is she here for?" Ever since his mother divorced his father, she’s been having incidents. Once a gentle, gracious woman, she became narrow and selfish, and would occasionally disrupt his restaurant. Sometimes she’d force a person into his staff, or bring in absurd guests to eat without paying. He could afford her antics, but she always cut in line!
Those special private rooms were specifically created because she frequently brought people to cut in line, leaving him no choice.
It was purely to prevent her from jumping the queue.
"She... she brought someone to dine here." The front desk manager was helpless: "That Fatty overheard it when causing trouble, and she even asked us to cooperate with Fatty’s deceit. But unexpectedly, unexpectedly..."
Unexpectedly, the group of students in private room number eight were so bold, unafraid of the Cheng Family, and dared to close the door and dine on their own;
Unexpectedly, Xiao Song couldn’t control his mouth and talked about arresting them;
Unexpectedly, those who had booked the room and were about to dine actually demanded to leave, as if they had discussed it beforehand.
Xie Hongjun promptly concluded that someone must be stirring up trouble behind the scenes; otherwise, such a minor issue wouldn’t escalate like this.
He realized the most crucial matter wasn’t the people leaving their tables, but how to handle private room number eight.
It wasn’t yet six o’clock; if they could delay past six, the impact wouldn’t be the greatest.
Once the dinner rush hit, that would be the worst.
He rubbed his temples and said to those demanding to leave, "Our roast duck restaurant prides itself on fairness. Since it’s been verified that the students arrived first, we certainly won’t allow anyone to forcibly take over their private room, so don’t worry." With that, he walked toward private room number eight.
Those wanting to leave felt uneasy hearing Xie Hongjun’s words, so they followed him to private room number eight. It seemed that only by witnessing an impartial resolution by Xie Hongjun would they agree to stay.
They all forgot how long they had queued to earn their seating. ℯ
In front of private room eight, after Old man Chen left, the security guards, unwilling to violently break in, stood in two rows outside the room like signposts, preventing anyone from approaching.
Fatty and Xiao Song, having knocked and shouted without response, were impatiently kicking the room door.
Cheng Jiuyi stood aside with an unapproachable demeanor.
Seeing the scene, Xie Hongjun felt his head throb painfully: "Who told you to kick the door?"
Xiao Song, seeing the owner, quickly bowed in respect: "Owner."
Fatty, however, said arrogantly, "Owner’s here, perfect. This private room number eight was originally ours, but a bunch of students took it over. Our boss’s guests are arriving at six thirty, so you better have the guards break in and evict them, or it’ll ruin our boss’s plans, and you’ll pay the price."
Xie Hongjun ignored his words and approached Cheng Jiuyi: "Young Master Cheng, my apologies, our roast duck restaurant always adheres to the principle of ’first come, first served.’ You arrived a bit later, so I’m sorry. Please move to the main hall; a guest just canceled their reservation there."
