The man’s voice at reception was loud, instantly attracting the attention of the surrounding diners, who turned their heads to watch the commotion, chattering about it.
Nianyang’s face showed a hint of anger, and she coldly said, "Sir, first of all, please get this straight, your place is a restaurant, and anyone who comes is a guest. What right do you have to kick me out? Besides, you’re not a mind reader, what makes you think I can’t afford to eat here?"
Honestly, enough is enough. No matter what era, there are always these narrow-minded idiots!
"You..." The reception man was infuriated. He initially thought Nianyang looked like a dowdy country girl and easy to bully, but he didn’t expect her to be so sharp-tongued!
Isn’t it said that girls nowadays are all very delicate?
To hell with delicate!
Nianyang scoffed, "I’ve long heard that Hongyun Restaurant is the top-ranked restaurant in the province, renowned for its popularity and reputation, but I didn’t expect the staff they hire to be so lacking in quality. Now that I see it, they’re not much after all!"
"What did you say?"
The reception man was so angry that his eyes bulged, and the greasy fat on his face trembled, "You ungrateful brat..."
"Try staring at her one more time?"
An exasperated Li Tingyan stepped forward, sweeping a cold glance at the reception man. His gaze seemed to harbor a thousand kills, coming in with an overwhelming momentum.
"..."
The look in his eyes confirmed it was someone he couldn’t afford to provoke.
The reception man shrank his neck, utterly intimidated!
"Wang Mingyi, all the customers are watching, what are you yelling about?"
An impatient voice came from the side, as the restaurant’s manager, He Yong, who had squinty eyes, walked over with a big belly!
Seeing He Yong, Wang Mingyi immediately plastered on a fawning smile, "Brother Yong, sorry to disturb you. It’s these two damn paupers, we’re trying to do business here, and they just had to come and stir trouble!"
"What’s going on?"
"It’s these two people; they came in saying they wanted to see you. Who do they think they are? Is our Brother Yong someone they can just see whenever they want? I got angry and argued with them a bit, and then this brat said our restaurant isn’t much, Brother Yong, isn’t that infuriating!"
Wang Mingyi spoke with righteous indignation, as if Nianyang and her companion really came to cause trouble.
"Oh, you want to see me, what’s the matter?"
He Yong arrogantly said, his eyes full of disdain as he looked at Nianyang and Li Tingyan.
If it weren’t for the many guests in the lobby today, and in order to maintain the restaurant’s image, he would have had them thrown out long ago rather than lower himself to speak with them. What bad luck.
Nianyang and Li Tingyan both frowned at He Yong’s attitude, which was exactly the same as the reception man’s, leaving a very poor impression.
However, Nianyang genuinely wanted to secure the supplier position for the restaurant, so she held back and stated her purpose, "Hello, here’s the thing, I’d like to discuss a business proposal with you. Can we speak in private?"
"What did you say, you want to discuss business with me?"
He Yong couldn’t help but raise his voice, looking Nianyang up and down with even greater disdain in his eyes.
In his view, Nianyang, being such a small girl with her dowdy appearance, clearly came from a poor family.
What business could she possibly discuss, must be joking!
Nianyang directly said, "My family runs a fruit and vegetable base, we can supply a large quantity of high-quality vegetables and fruits year-round. I’m interested in securing the supply chain for vegetables and fruits for your restaurant, do you have any plans in that regard?"
