The greeters, all sharp-minded individuals, served as the faces of Phoenix Restaurant, keeping their eyes and ears open in all directions.
The series of actions just now had clearly shown that it was this gentleman in front of them, who had issues with those two people, giving them the opportunity to earn a hefty amount in tips.
Having received money, they naturally felt grateful towards Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang flashed a grin and spoke honestly, "Haha, I’m just like you guys, a worker, and I don’t have any tips for you."
Far from displeasing these young men and women, his words actually endeared him even more to them.
The phrase "a worker" instantly bridged the gap between them.
The young woman next to Zhang Yang laughed, "Actually, it’s okay even without tips, we still have our salaries, right?"
"True, shall I experience that as well?" Zhang Yang said eagerly.
The young woman immediately responded with a smile, "Of course, at Phoenix Restaurant, the customer comes first."
As she spoke, she gave Zhang Yang an encouraging look.
Seeing this, Zhang Yang also got excited and waved at the group of handsome and beautiful staff members, saying, "Hello comrades."
Two rows of people immediately shouted back, "Hello sir!"
"Thanks for your hard work, comrades," Zhang Yang called out again.
"At your service, sir!" they responded.
This scene, light-hearted and humorous, was hard not to chuckle at, and compared to earlier, it portrayed a more approachable atmosphere and highlighted the service-first philosophy of the Phoenix Restaurant.
Zhang Yang also had fun and sincerely added, "Thanks, I’m going to eat now, see you later."
The dozens of staff members also smiled back at Zhang Yang and watched as he entered the restaurant.
Zhang Tiande and Wang Bin were nearly grinding their teeth. The tips they had given ultimately benefitted Zhang Yang?
Their dissatisfaction with Zhang Yang rose to a new height.
After the commotion, Zhang Yang and his group, under the curious gaze of onlookers, entered Phoenix Restaurant.
Once inside, Wang Bin immediately changed from his previously unpleasant expression to a warm embrace with the suit-clad man approaching him.
"Why didn’t you let me know you were coming, so I could have welcomed you personally?" he said.
The speaker was none other than the manager of Phoenix Restaurant, Luu Zhichang.
He and Wang Bin were elementary school classmates, but their relationship was superficial without any real depth.
Both being astute individuals, they naturally showed face to each other.
Wang Bin was also visibly delighted, "We are old classmates, let’s not stand on ceremony. It’s rare to meet, and today you really need to do me a favor."
Luu Zhichang was slightly startled by his request, which came as soon as they met. Was Wang Bin already asking him for a favor?
But remembering Wang Bin’s recent success as a high-level executive in a renowned international company, after a moment’s thought, he smiled and nodded, "Haha, sure, no problem."
Having received Luu Zhichang’s approval, Wang Bin quickly whispered in his ear, "Help me deal with that kid behind me later, and I’ll introduce you to some models—I guarantee you won’t be disappointed."
Luu Zhichang’s face lit up with joy, recognizing the right way for men to communicate.
He then glanced back at Zhang Yang, dressed in cheap street market clothes, and couldn’t help but show a look of disdain.
"No need for formalities with an old friend; just watch what I do later," Luu Zhichang said.
Since Wang Bin was so cooperative, Zhang Yang couldn’t slouch either.
Both of their conspiratorial whispers were clearly observed by Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang curled his lips and silently cursed "birds of a feather," yet he also felt somewhat displeased, as he now found himself on someone else’s turf, seemingly at a disadvantage.
But Zhang Yang wasn’t afraid, whether it was fighting or anything else, what could they really do to him?
At that moment, Xia Xue couldn’t help but say, "Alright, if you two want to catch up, find another time. Let’s hurry up and eat and then leave."
Xia Xue felt that this meal had already lost its meaning, as the originally pleasant atmosphere had been ruined by Wang Bin.
Xia Xue remembered clearly that it was Wang Bin who had started lecturing Zhang Yang, causing the situation to turn sour.
What kind of family meal atmosphere was this? Even enemies seated together would be better than them.
"Is this your younger sister?" Luu Zhichang’s eyes lit up, his gaze full of surprise as he looked at Xia Xue.
His eyes nearly popped out of his head as he gazed at Xia Xue’s face and figure, Luu Zhichang felt himself perk up instantly.
Xia Xue was likewise disgusted by that lecherous look.
Laughably, Wang Bin remained oblivious and did not notice Luu Zhichang’s unusual behavior, instead, he proudly took Xia Xue’s hand and introduced, "This is my wife."
"Wife, this is my old classmate, Brother Chang!"
Wang Bin didn’t really want to call Luu Zhichang ’Brother’, but if it weren’t for needing something from Luu Zhichang right now, he would never have accepted such a term.
Xia Xue looked at Wang Bin with dissatisfaction, yet her compromising nature ultimately prevailed, "Brother Chang, can we go upstairs to eat now?"
"Of course." Luu Zhichang immediately agreed with a cheerful laugh.
Then he winked and gestured at Wang Bin, implying, "You lucky bastard."
At this, Wang Bin also showed a proud face, as Xia Xue was indeed outstanding. He didn’t mind showing off a little, as his vanity was greatly satisfied.
Luu Zhichang’s lips curled into a smirk, his gaze fixed intensely on Xia Xue’s long legs.
Xia Xue felt so disgusted she almost vomited, angered by the fact that Wang Bin was blind to it all.
But the next second, a figure suddenly stood in front of Xia Xue.
It was Zhang Yang, who couldn’t stand it anymore, and he said to Luu Zhichang with a grin, "Brother Chang, you chat with Mr. Wang, we will go ahead and dine."
Luu Zhichang saw his view blocked and was a bit angered to be talked to in such a manner.
Now, even without Wang Bin’s involvement, Luu Zhichang wouldn’t let Zhang Yang off easily.
"Let’s go. Since you’re friends with Wang Bin, I’ll personally escort you to the private room."
He then let Zhang Yang and Xia Xue walk ahead, continuing to chat with Wang Bin by his side, but in reality, Luu Zhichang just wanted to keep looking at Xia Xue, especially her slender waist, which he yearned to touch.
And the part of her thigh exposed under her skirt was flawless too.
Luu Zhichang ogled her greedily, thinking to himself, he must obtain Wang Bin’s wife today, no matter what.
"Heh, Wang Bin, I’m really sorry, but your wife is just too attractive. But don’t worry, I’ll definitely take good care of that young man for you," Luu Zhichang said with a lecherous grin, his words to Wang Bin even more enthusiastic.
In between, the two briefly discussed their plans to deal with Zhang Yang in a whisper. Wang Bin was taken aback by how cunning Luu Zhichang was, hearing his plan made Wang Bin shudder, now Zhang Yang was really in trouble.
