Chapter 1115: What A Bustling Place
The waitress already knew that they would ask, so she continued to smile and said, “There were also vegetables.”
“Vegetables…” Lin Che pulled a long face. She felt that she had indeed been swindled.
She said, “I think it’s too expensive. Does the price bureau know about this?”
The waitress chuckled.
When she had left earlier, she had informed the boss that two wealthy people had arrived at the restaurant. They asked for a private room as soon as they came. The two of them did not mind spending 1,800 dollars.
The moment the boss heard this, he thought that they were simply lambs for the slaughter.
For people like them who did not mind spending 1,800 dollars so easily, spending more would not matter to them either.
Thus, they immediately inflated the prices and planned to extort money from them.
At the moment, the waitress was looking at them with a completely nonchalant expression. “Come on. You really get a bang for your buck when you eat at our restaurant. You get what you pay for. Look, we have so many people eating downstairs. Our restaurant is very famous too. Look, didn’t you finish all the fish?”
Lin Che looked at her and snickered. “That’s because the fish was the only thing I could stomach.”
“Hey, you guys don’t look like you can’t afford it either. Don’t look for trouble and raise issues with our dishes just because you’re not willing to pay.”
Lin Che sat there with her eyebrows raised and said, “Why don’t we get the police here and ask them if there’s a problem or not?”
The word ‘police’ made the waitress guffaw instead.
She knocked on the door twice. Suddenly, a number of brawny men came in from outside.
They were dressed in what looked like a chef’s attire. They were probably chefs. However, the menacing expressions on their faces were extremely frightening.
The waitress said, “Chef w.a.n.g, look. They said that your food isn’t good.”
Chef w.a.n.g waved his fists and positioned them there. “How does it taste bad? Tell me.”
Lin Che scoffed. “Everything about it tastes bad.”
Had they come here especially to frighten them?
Wow, she was so, so scared.
At the side, Gu Jingze remained silent and looked on with narrowed eyes.
Seeing that the two of them did not seem scared at all, the waitress proceeded to say to them, “Call the police if you want to. But you’ll have to be able to walk out this door first. I advise you to forget it. It isn’t that much money anyway. Why would you cause trouble just because you don’t want to pay? Everyone comes out to have fun. Look, Miss, your belly is so big too. Why would you harm the fetus over something like this?”
She was reminding her that she was a pregnant woman. She should not be causing trouble.
Lin Che immediately said, “The dishes aren’t worth the price. They simply aren’t worth it. I’ll give you 1,800 because that’s the minimum expenditure here. I will give what I should. I won’t give you what I shouldn’t.”
No matter how wealthy she was, it did not mean that people could casually cheat her of her money.
The waitress said, “You’re making it very difficult for me. That really won’t do.”
“Then go and have a hard time. I think your dishes are only worth this amount of money.”
Lin Che stood up as she spoke.
The people on the side immediately wanted to take action.
However, Gu Jingze, who had remained silent at the side, suddenly held down the chef’s thick and solid arm with one hand.
The waitress hastily retreated, thinking that they were getting into a fight. Unfortunately, this was completely unnecessary, because Gu Jingze had already singlehandedly twisted his thick arm downwards. It did not take even a moment for the chef to howl in pain and fall onto the ground.
This man could actually fight.
Only then did they understand why this woman was so confident. Perhaps it was precisely because her man knew a bit of kungfu.
However, even if he knew kungfu, he alone could not defeat so many people.
While speaking, Gu Jingze had already led Lin Che out.
The staff of the restaurant quickly chased after them as well.
They looked at Gu Jingze and said, “Don’t go. You want to leave without paying?”
Gu Jingze turned around. “I’ll give you the money. 1,800 dollars. You want it or not?”
Leveraging on the group of people behind her, the waitress shouted, “Of course not. 13,000 dollars. Not a dollar less.”
Gu Jingze said, “Then there’s no way we can close the deal. In that case, you get nothing at all.”
“Hey, you guys think you can leave? Why don’t you look at where you are?”
Just then, the tourists outside also noticed at once that there was a commotion happening here.
The boss of the restaurant also rushed over.
He thought that everything would be settled inside the private room. Who knew that the trouble would spill over outside in plain view of all the guests outside?
They had yet again encountered another guest who was not willing to pay. Each year, they would encounter a few guests who were like that. But he did not expect them to kick up such a fuss when there was a pregnant woman too.
Did they think that his staff would not dare to lay a hand on them because there was a pregnant woman around?
If that was the case, they had really underestimated them.
“Hey, you must pay for the food you eat. This is the natural order of things. You can’t refuse to pay,” the boss said.
“Exactly. It’s useless to create trouble outside just because you don’t want to pay. It’s useless even if everyone is watching. You ate the dishes right? You ate the rice, right? Then you must pay.”
Seeing this, the tourists immediately understood what was happening as well.
Although they were furious and found them very pitiful as the boss was extorting money from them, they nevertheless coaxed them from the sidelines after looking at the pregnant woman’s belly. “Alright, alright, take your wife and leave first.”
“My point exactly. Money is a small issue. People are more important.”
But Gu Jingze did not say a word in response to everyone’s advice. He merely looked at the boss. “I’ll give you another chance. Do you want the money or not?”
The boss said, “13,000 dollars. Not a dollar less. Otherwise, let’s have a go at it. See who’s on the losing end.”
Gu Jingze scoffed. “Sure. I’ll give you 300,000 dollars.”
The boss was stunned. 300,000 dollars?
Gu Jingze said, “But when it comes to the money I spend, I must make sure that every cent is well-spent. What is worth that amount inside your restaurant?”
He waved his hand gently. “Wreck the place and cause 300,000 dollars’ worth of damage.”
Subsequently, while everyone was still confused about what his words meant, they saw that numerous people had appeared behind him all of a sudden, gathering around him silently.
The boss’s eyes immediately widened.
The eyes of the chefs and the hired thugs in the restaurant were also blown wide.
At this moment, they finally understood what he meant by telling them to cause 300,000 dollars’ worth of damage.
Without another word, they pushed the restaurant staff inside directly.
Thereafter, they started to smash the things inside the restaurant.
The brawny men in the restaurant still wanted to surge forth. But before they could even do so, they were immediately attacked. They fell onto the ground and started to wail in pain.
Seeing this, everyone quickly ran far away.
Only the tourists looked on from the sidelines.
At the back, the boss yelled, “What are you trying to do? What are you doing? Call the police, call the police.”
Gu Jingze stood in the middle. When he raised his arm at this moment, he seemed incomparably tall and large.
From beginning to end, his expression was still one of contempt. His gaze was nonchalant and seemed like a profound mystery. People could not see through his facade.
There was also an overwhelming air of n.o.bility in the way he spoke indifferently.
He scoffed and said, “Good. Beat them up too. According to the guideline of 300,000 dollars’ worth of medical bills.”
The boss was even more frightened when he heard this.
He placed his arms over his head and ran out.
But the tourists outside were clapping and cheering. Now, there would be something exciting for them to watch.
