Film and Television: I, Xu Lei, won over Chen Shuting

Page 248

He could only manage a wry smile.

"Excuse me, sir, for disturbing your dining experience. This is the hot pot restaurant next door to our competitor."

But don't worry, it won't affect your meal. Please let me know if you need anything.

Xu Lei noticed that the man was sitting at the table to his left, looking at him.

He stared intently at the head waiter next to the menu, rubbing his hands nervously.

It seemed that this kind of difficult behavior wasn't a first time for Xu Lei, and he was genuinely curious.

There are still people like this in the world; he seems to think he's all that.

How can you still be so careless in your actions? Gao Xiaochen isn't here right now either.

Xu Lei hadn't figured out the intricacies of the situation yet, so it wasn't convenient for him to take immediate action.

All I could see was that the so-called Boss Wang was staring intently at their menu with a serious expression.

"I've been to this restaurant several times already, and there's nothing new about it. It's the same old thing over and over again. Who's going to eat here?"

The supervisor naturally knew he was there to cause trouble, and he had to make two or three trips a day to order food.

Every time, they have to find something to do here or something to do there. Gao Xiaochen hasn't arrived yet.

The foreman had no choice but to grit his teeth and bear it for now, because he knew why the owner of the bowl had come here to show off.

The reason for the trouble was that the new dishes in the combined roll were not acceptable, and as the supervisor, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and stay there for the time being.

"Oh dear, your food is really terrible, I don't know what to order anymore."

The other person was shouting and making casual remarks, seemingly wanting everyone present to hear them.

It's just that he's the kind of person who's unreasonable and goes to other people's places to cause trouble.

Xu Lei had never seen this before. He watched as the waiter poured him water, and he drank it with a slight smile.

"I can handle this myself, you can go and do other things."

This waiter looks like a college student working part-time, which is quite common.

Xu Lei just wanted to see what Boss Wang next to him was up to.

This was Xu Lei's first time visiting this store, and also his first time inspecting the store on the man's side.

So this Boss Wang wasn't referring to Xu Lei's identity; Xu Lei doesn't look like a local.

He then said to him.

"Your restaurant has such a good reputation that people from out of town all come here to eat."

However, your dishes are really disappointing. If this continues, your restaurant will go out of business.

"By the way, where's your General Manager Gao? Why is he avoiding me today?"

The foreman was now filled with doubt, realizing even more clearly that they had met their match.

The other party insisted on causing trouble, and there was nothing I could do.

"Where's that girl from earlier? Have her come over and pour me some water. You can go down now."

The foreman knew that what he wanted was the part-time worker who had just poured water for Xu Lei.

"Boss Wang is a new part-time worker, I'm afraid he won't serve you well. Don't worry, it's the same if I do it for you."

As he spoke, he smiled slightly and tried to come over to fill the water tank for him. Xu Lei took a deep breath.

He suppressed his anger, never expecting his shop to be so popular.

It's understandable that people hate him, but it's wrong to openly provoke others like this.

Xu Lei had never seen him before, and he didn't care whether he was a boss or not.

At this moment, I was so angry that I just wanted to have a serious talk with him.

Seeing that the foreman seemed to be in a bit of a predicament, Xu Lei took a deep breath, trying his best not to get into a conflict with them.

As long as they don't go too far, Xu Lei doesn't bother to have any contact with them.

"Did I say I was talking to you? I want that girl to come over. Are you deaf or do I have to repeat myself to you?"

The foreman was already somewhat undecided, so Xu Lei stood up slightly.

"You can go down now, I'll take care of it."

When the foreman saw Xu Lei arrive, he quickly whispered a few words in his ear.

"Boss, this is a well-known playboy around here. He has quite a bit of influence."

Chapter 291 Seeing Injustice

"Why don't you go eat in a private room? Don't worry, I'll take care of things here as soon as possible."

Seeing Xu Lei suddenly step forward, this young master immediately became interested.

"Oh, I didn't expect an outsider like you to come here and stand up for what's right, did you?"

I have to give you a piece of advice: stay away from things that aren't your business, or you'll end up getting yourself into trouble.

Don't think that just because you're from out of town, I won't dare to touch you. If you make me unhappy, I'll still do the same.

Before the other person could finish speaking, Xu Lei filled his water bottle.

"We're all in the food and beverage business, so service is what matters most."

I don't know what's wrong here that's making you unhappy. I'm one of the directors here.

If you feel that the service is not up to par, just tell me. If you think our business is too good, please let me know.

If you're jealous, I advise you to go back and train hard for two years. Don't think that just because your voice is louder than mine, I'll be afraid of you.

Back when I was hanging around here, you were nowhere to be found.

Xu Lei suddenly repeated what Wang Xuhui had said, leaving him standing there in a daze.

"How about that? Do you feel like I've finished your lines and you don't know what to say next?"

I know you have power and influence, but don't cut off other people's livelihoods.

If you push someone to the limit, they're capable of anything, even if you've always lived a life of luxury.

They don't know how hard it is for us ordinary folks to make a living down there. What if they really push us to the brink?

But that's hard to say, so before things get too serious, you should go back to where you came from.

If everyone loves each other and nothing happens, that's fine, but you insist on making each other unhappy.

Then I'll be frank with you. Your life might not be too comfortable either.

After Xu Lei finished speaking, he gave a big smile, indicating that everything he had just said was true.

The foreman was instantly elated upon hearing Xu Lei's words, since he couldn't say anything too outrageous given his authority.

Hearing Xu Lei's words, everyone agreed that what he said made perfect sense, and the other customers nearby also felt that what he had done had gone a bit too far.

"Absolutely! I've eaten here twice already, and I've run into this young master every time."

I don't know who he is, but whatever his identity is, he can't stop others from doing business.

They're all making their own money in broad daylight; I think it's the boss next door.

Seeing how thriving their business is, he's probably feeling resentful. Otherwise, what kind of person could he be?

The whispers below reached her ears, and Wang Xuhui's eyes widened in surprise.

"You eat your food and don't talk, no one will think you're mute. Do you even know who the little parrot is? You just keep babbling on and on."

Wang Xuhui said that the two underlings next to him immediately stood up, and the foreman also quickly stepped forward to persuade them.

"Mr. Wang, since you've come to eat, let's just serve the food. Why make yourself unhappy?"

Our General Manager Gao has something to attend to today, so he can't come over to talk to you right now.

Otherwise, we would definitely ask him to come out. We have no grudges against each other, so why would we hide from you?

We're not that petty. Last time you smashed up most of our store, didn't you call the police and get it all sorted out?

Now that it's all settled, let's be magnanimous and not hold it against them.

With Xu Lei backing him up, the foreman spoke with more confidence, which surprised Xu Lei.

So this kid not only came to cause trouble but also vandalized the shop. It seems he has some powerful backing.

But no matter what kind of power he has behind him, Xu Lei will definitely not tolerate his bad habit.

There were so many rumors at the time that the Haitang Hotel built a Thai restaurant.

Xu Lei knew that Gao Xiaochen must have had a tough time during this period.

There will definitely be a lot of trouble involved, but Gao Xiaochen has never mentioned these things to me.

He even quietly dealt with all the troubles all by himself.

Thinking about this, Xu Lei was actually a little moved, and even felt that the kid had really grown up.

Wang Xuhui was not gaining any advantage at this moment, and his eyes even carried a hint of warning.

It would be best to send him back to where he came from, and he should sincerely apologize to himself.

Otherwise, I'll definitely make him pay.

"Oh, so you're trying to drive away customers, huh? Your business is really booming."

They can actually do something like this? I'm telling you, I'll spread this around the industry.

Let's see how you'll behave then. You'd better keep your tail between your legs.

Don't think that just because your business is doing well, you can act tough in front of me.

Cleaning you all up is just a matter of me lifting a finger."

After saying that, he was about to raise his hand and point his finger at the other person's nose, but Xu Lei immediately grabbed that finger tightly in his hand.

Xu Lei didn't care which family's son he was or which faction he belonged to.

You can't be so unreasonable no matter what; we're all here to do business.

Whether business is good or bad, I can't let my subordinates suffer.

"You little brat, you actually dared to mess with our boss."

Seeing Xu Lei suddenly make a move startled these guys quite a bit.

After all, this was the first time they had ever seen someone dare to fight their boss.

"Even your General Manager Gao wouldn't dare do this to our boss."

Xu Lei was somewhat surprised, after all, he knew Gao Xiaochen's personality better than anyone else.

That kid is relentless when he's in the right, and he never lets up just because of anyone's feelings.

Gao Xiaochen used to be a rebellious teenager, but he's really grown up these days.

Xu Lei felt a mix of emotions, things he had never known before.

But after I took it seriously and understood the ins and outs of these things...

He harbored an indescribable sadness deep within him, something he had never allowed himself to know.

Otherwise, I would definitely have stopped it, but the situation has come to this point.

He had only just found out, and he was already feeling incredibly terrible and anxious.

"You mean you even did something to my shop before? You're pretty good."

Although I don't know who your backer is or what your background is.

However, no matter what you do in this world, you can't escape the power of reason.

You think what you've done is so glorious, and you're so swaggering in front of me. Do you think you've conquered anything?

I don't want to waste any more words with you. Either you stay here and eat your meal quietly.

We will treat you with the same respect as always, but if you insist on causing trouble for me here...

Don't worry, I definitely won't indulge you in this habit. Gao always thinks you're still a child.

I'm too lazy to argue with you about many things, but I can tell you're an adult now.
