"You have two choices: first, we prepare the dishes and you take them away to eat; second, I refund your order now, and you just vacate this private room."
The waiter said.
Chen Fang furrowed his brows and replied, "When we reserved the private room, there was no mention that it had been previously booked. Therefore, the consequences should be borne by your side. I intend to stay and have my meal. As for the other customers, however, you wish to accommodate them has nothing to do with us."
Chen Fang was unwilling to give in.
Today, he simply wanted to treat the old man to a good meal.
Just as the waiter was in a difficult position,
a young woman in uniform walked in.
Seeing that Chen Fang and his party hadn't stood up, she asked, "What's going on? Didn't I ask you to drive them out?"
The words "drive them out" sounded quite unpleasant.
It appeared that the so-called prior reservation was just an excuse.
"The guests... the guests said they won't leave,"
said the waiter, looking aggrieved.
On the left side of the young woman's chest was a name tag.
It read Lobby Manager Duan Jinli.
She glanced at Chen Fang and Qin Ye and immediately looked down on them.
She said, "Gentlemen, this private room is needed for other purposes by our restaurant, please leave immediately."
"Others are guests, but we aren't?"
Chen Fang asked.
Duan Jinli said in an insincere tone, "In our restaurant, guests are ranked differently. You are ordinary guests, but the one who wants to reserve this room now is our VIP. Please understand."
The phrase "please understand" was also said in a cold tone.
If there were goodwill and room to negotiate,
this matter might have been resolved.
Chen Fang detested people looking down on others.
Crossing his arms, he said, "I'm sorry, but the level of the guests has nothing to do with me. The dishes have been ordered, and I certainly won't leave without eating my meal today."
Just when the woman was about to get angry,
a voice at the door asked, "Manager Duan, what's the matter? Where's the private room?"
As Duan Jinli turned around, she immediately became obsequious and replied, "Minister Huang, please wait a moment, I will have this room cleared for you right away."
The person outside seemed to be getting impatient.
They stuck their head in to take a look at the private room.
Both parties were stunned.
The so-called Minister Huang turned out to be the middle-aged man who had blocked Qin Ye from entering on the high-speed train.
Upon seeing Chen Fang, the middle-aged man also stiffened for a moment.
He thought Chen Fang would be cowed, but to his surprise, there was no sign of intimidation. The man suddenly burst into laughter, walked into the private room, and loudly said, "It really is a small world, I didn't expect to bump into you two here."
Chen Fang had not anticipated that the man competing for their private room would be this man.
This made it impossible for him to give up the room now.
"Oh, it turns out to be Minister Huang. Which department are you with?"
Chen Fang inquired.
Minister Huang seemed to have found his confidence.
He snorted and said, "I am but a humble man, currently the United Front Minister of Shaowen County, Huang Baiyi. There were too many people on the train earlier, so I did not fuss about it with you, but it seems fortune has brought us back together."
"So what now?"
Chen Fang asked.
With a disdainful smile, Huang Baiyi replied, "So, you're in for some trouble now."
Having said that, he turned and left.
"Ah Fang, maybe we should just find another place?"
Qin Ye suggested.
Chen Fang smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, old man, you just enjoy your meal. I'll handle things here."
No sooner had he spoken,
than Huang Baiyi reappeared at the door,
this time accompanied by two more people.
One elderly, one young.
The older man looked to be in his fifties, while the younger one seemed to be under thirty.
Huang Baiyi addressed the older one, saying, "Secretary Zhang, these are the pair, the same two from the train I told you about, and now, they've taken our room."
As soon as he finished speaking,
the younger man became furiously angry.
He yelled at Lobby Manager Duan Jinli, "Manager Duan, do you still want your job or not? Since when did Rich Residence start letting any Tom, Dick, or Harry in?"
Duan Jinli was scolded.
He also looked wronged.
He quickly said, "President Dong, I called for them, but they won't leave."
The young man angrily said, "Won't leave? Are the security guards vegetarians? Tell them to come and carry these people out!"
"Alright, alright, I'll call them right now."
Having said that.
Duan Jinli pulled out her walkie-talkie and shouted, "Security, security, come to the second floor Leisure Hall, everyone, get over here."
After this order was given.
The one surnamed Dong nodded and bowed to Huang Baiyi and the elder Zhang Secretary-General, saying, "I'm so sorry for the negligence on the part of our establishment. We will clear the area for you right now."
From what the one surnamed Dong mentioned, it was clear that he must be the owner of the establishment.
Down the corridor, a series of footsteps could be heard.
Clearly, the security guards had arrived.
Seeing this scene.
Huang Baiyi had a triumphant look on his face.
He said to Chen Fang, "You think you're so capable? Come on, show me what you've got."
No sooner had he spoken.
Six security guards rushed in.
President Dong pointed at Chen Fang and said, "Come on, they refuse to leave, give us a hand here."
An order from the boss is unquestionably obeyed by security guards.
The six men surged forward, charging toward the two.
Chen Fang did not want them to hurt Qin Ye.
With a strong push from his legs, he leaped onto a chair and then onto the table, swung his leg and knocked down the first security guard who pounced towards Qin Ye; after rolling on the table, he landed on the floor in front of Qin Ye and threw a punch that hit the second security guard in the stomach.
The security guard let out a painful cry and rolled under the table.
In the blink of an eye.
The six security guards were rolling around on the ground.
In this constrained space where he couldn't fully extend his body, Chen Fang still had the ability to take down six security guards.
Seeing his own summoned six security guards so easily subdued.
Zhang Secretary-General mumbled furiously, "Lawless."
After saying that, he took out his phone.
It was unclear what he said into the phone, but after hanging up, he stated, "You should have left quietly, and we would have let bygones be bygones; now that you want to make a fuss, don't blame me for not being polite."
Obviously.
He had just made a call for "reinforcements."
In such a situation.
Chen Fang was not the least bit intimidated.
He was only worried about pulling Qin Ye into this.
He was about to suggest that Qin Ye leave first.
Suddenly, Qin Ye asked, "What do you do for a living?"
His question was directed at Zhang Secretary-General.
Huang Baiyi boasted, "You'll be scared to death when you hear this. This gentleman is a member of the Rongjiang City Government party group, Secretary-General of the Municipal Government, Zhang Moqian."
Indeed, a significant figure.
This identity did cause Chen Fang some surprise.
Seeing the slight change in Chen Fang's expression.
Huang Baiyi was even more pleased with himself.
He said, "Clueless fools, just wait, we'll settle all scores both new and old in a moment."
Qin Ye nodded slightly.
He then asked Chen Fang, "Do you have a phone? Lend it to me."
Borrowing a phone?
Could it be that Qin Ye also wanted to call for "reinforcements"?
Although Chen Fang had little hope, he still handed over the phone to him.
Qin Ye dialed a number and once the call connected, he said, "Come to the establishment. Someone's looking for trouble with me."
After just saying that.
He handed the phone back to Chen Fang.
Before Chen Fang could ask whom he had called, Huang Baiyi disdainfully said, "Oh, you're not calling those old geezers who dance in the square to come over, are you? Don't get heatstroke rushing here in such hot weather."
This situation was caused by himself.
Not wanting Qin Ye to get involved, Chen Fang also said, "Elder, it's alright, it has nothing to do with you. At worst, they're just looking for trouble with me."
Qin Ye smiled kindly.
He pulled Ah Fang's hand, asking him to sit down and said, "It's okay, just sit down and relax..."
