"Oh, it’s you guys? You actually have the leisure to come here for a meal. However, this isn’t a place just anyone can afford, and even if you can afford it, having money doesn’t mean you get to sit in this private room." Qiang Xinran, relying on her brother’s influence, was used to throwing her weight around outside.
After all, not only was her brother capable, but her uncle and father were also influential figures. As such, being their spoiled daughter, she was naturally used to bossing people around.
In her eyes, Bai Xiao was nothing but a nouveau riche from the countryside.
She guessed that Bai Xiao might have some money, but the private rooms in this place weren’t simply about whether you had the cash.
When compared to her brother’s face, that was worth a lot more than money.
She didn’t believe that the manager here would dare not to give her face.
Pointing at the restaurant manager, she said, "What kind of service is this? Get these paupers out of here quickly, do you not want us to have a good meal?"
Her attitude was always so arrogant when she came here, and the minor managers were also accustomed to being ordered around by her.
Which one of them wasn’t smiling and obliging?
At a glance, the restaurant manager understood there was a feud between these two groups.
This was a rare opportunity for him, having just offended this "ancestor." Now was definitely a chance to show his worth. If he did well, this "ancestor" might say a few kind words on his behalf to her uncle, and he might find himself rocketing up the ranks before Manager Zhang at home.
At this moment, there was no need to weigh the pros and cons: one was a high-ranking official, and the other was just a minor chief. Was there even a need to consider the benefits?
Probably only a fool wouldn’t make the choice.
The restaurant manager immediately stepped forward, elegantly positioning himself in front of Qiang Xinran.
"Miss Qiang, this private room is already reserved. There’s an order to things; since you’ve arrived late, please dine in the main hall," he said.
This statement made it impossible for Qiang Xinran to save face.
Angered, her eyes seemed like they were about to pop out.
Pointing at the nose of the restaurant manager, she said, "You... what are you saying? Do you dare speak to me like this? Aren’t you afraid your manager will fire you?"
"Why wouldn’t I dare to speak to you like this? You’re a customer; Miss Bai Xiao is also a customer. She was here first. What gives you the right to make her give up her place for you? I think there should be some sense of fairness in business. Although your family has connections, you don’t have the right to drive out customers who are already dining. This is a fine hotel, not some roadside stall where you can just chase people off as you please.
You better leave quickly, or don’t say I didn’t give you face."
These words set Qiang Xinran completely ablaze.
"Good, good, a minor restaurant manager dares to talk to me like this. Where is Manager Zhang? Where is Manager Zhang? Let him come out. I want to see how he explains this to me. A mere manager dares to shit on my head.
If I don’t teach you a lesson today, then I am no Qiang."
"Suit yourself, Manager Zhang is currently entertaining important and valuable guests. You don’t even consider your own status and dare to be so presumptuous in front of Miss Bai Xiao. It’s like a pig pretending to be an elephant by sticking a leek in its nostril." The restaurant manager used the same tactic on Qiang Xinran that he had just used on Bai Xiao and her group.
The few classmates behind Qiang Xinran looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.
Qiang Xinran assured them that she definitely had face here. Was this really the face she was talking about?
None of them knew what was going on.
