The receptionist was cowed by her imposing manner, her face subtly changing colors and her momentum diminishing significantly, unable to maintain the condescending, domineering attitude she had just now.
Despite that, she still stubbornly persisted for the sake of face: "Yes, miss, please leave."
Shen Cheng couldn’t help but let out a soft, low chuckle, wondering why people’s quality... makes one so... impatient.
"You, are worthy of asking my woman to leave?"
A deep, resonant voice suddenly emerged, laden with murderous intent, cold as ice.
The receptionist, upon hearing the voice, instinctively turned her head to look.
When she saw the man whose whole being radiated an aura of majesty, she was instantly taken aback.
"Mr. Shi...Mr. Shi..."
Shi Yu, holding a bouquet of flowers in one hand and the other hand in his pocket, strode forward.
His handsome face showed not a trace of emotion, and a chill seemed to seep from him, as if freezing the air around.
Seeing the brilliant roses in his hand, Shen Cheng raised her eyebrows.
He said he had some matters to deal with; did he go to buy flowers?
It was hard to imagine how this man conducted himself when buying flowers in a shop.
Shi Yu walked up to Shen Cheng, handed her the flowers, then extended his arm to drape over her shoulder. His gaze was piercing and cold, making the receptionist’s scalp tingle and her body tremble.
The receptionist was so frightened by Shi Yu’s powerful presence that she was rendered speechless; in this restaurant, there probably wasn’t a single server who didn’t recognize Shi Yu.
A man with such a natural commanding presence was truly fearsome.
"It’s , Mr. Shi, this lady..."
Shi Yu waved his hand, indifferently cutting off the receptionist’s attempted excuse that was about to come out.
Shen Cheng curled her lips, a nearly imperceptible smile on her face; she knew that when it came to matters concerning her, this man would always get to the bottom of it and never take them lightly, no matter how trivial they might seem.
Seeing that things were going south, the receptionist immediately tried to defend herself, "Mr. Shi, actually just now..."
"Who gave you permission to speak?" Shi Yu didn’t even deign to give her a glance, cutting her words off coldly.
The receptionist turned pale, her face alternating between green and white, and she fell silent in embarrassment.
The manager, noticing the unusual atmosphere from afar, hurried over.
Upon seeing Shi Yu, he immediately wore a smile, nodding and bowing, "Hello, Mr. Shi! What brings you here today? I am so sorry for not greeting you from afar..."
Shi Yu coldly glanced at him, his sharp gaze sharper than a knife, making the manager break into a sweat.
Wiping his forehead with a handkerchief, shaking, he then pointed to the receptionist who was shrinking aside with her head down, "Is it this ignorant one who offended you?"
Shi Yu let out a cold laugh, "Offending me is a small matter; offending my woman, that’s a serious issue."
He narrowed his eyes, a dangerously intimidating aura pressing down so hard the manager almost bent over.
The manager sweated profusely; not daring to utter another word in response, he hurriedly said with a smile, "Yes, yes, yes, it’s the failure of our management level due to poor staff quality. I apologize to you here."
Shi Yu reined in his aura, not even glancing at him, and walked inside with Shen Cheng, then pulled out his phone to make a call.
"Your employee offended my woman, change the staff!"
On hearing his words, the manager’s face turned ashen, his shoulders sagging.
In the whole of Jiang City, who doesn’t know about Shi Yu’s character? Decisive, domineering, cruel, and merciless.
It seemed that there was no turning back from this issue now.
Shen Cheng suddenly pulled on Shi Yu, turned around, and walked back to the reception desk.
