This supervisor, Qian Yunfu, spoke in a whiny tone and, lacking any facial hair, looked just like a pseudo-girl. The more Qin Tian listened to him, the angrier he got!
"So you’re saying I don’t have what it takes to make you lose your jobs, huh? Great! Just great!"
With those words, Qin Tian firmly grabbed Qian Yunfu’s hand, his face ashen with anger, and said to the surrounding onlookers, "Get your manager over here!"
Seeing Qin Tian making a scene, the waitstaff had already gone to fetch the manager.
"Qin Tian, just let it go..."
At this moment, with everyone’s eyes on them, Lu Dakuan and Wang Shulan, who usually avoided trouble, felt a bit uneasy.
Especially after hearing Qin Tian’s bold claim about getting Qian Yunfu and Wang Xia fired, they became even more worried.
In such a luxurious hotel, even the waitstaff had status and standing. Could Qin Tian really just have someone fired on the spot? Impossible.
Moreover, this was someone else’s territory. Seeing that one of the men was an official, could Qin Tian stir up trouble here without being bullied?
The more Lu Dakuan and Wang Shulan thought about it, the more frightened they became. They didn’t try to persuade Qin Tian but instead quietly pulled Lu Qing aside and whispered, "Qing’er, just drop it, please. Tell Qin Tian we won’t eat here. We haven’t ordered yet anyway; let’s just go to another restaurant."
Lu Qing was also not one to seek trouble, but today was different. Her beloved parents were being bullied; they had barely arrived in Zhonghai City and were already looked down upon and discriminated against. Lu Qing couldn’t stand it!
Qin Tian was standing up for them; there was no reason for Lu Qing to ask him to back down. She immediately said to Lu Dakuan and Wang Shulan, "Dad, Mom, please sit tight. Don’t worry about it. Let Qin Tian handle this; it will be fine."
Lu Qing felt confident on her home turf, now being the president of a company herself and having seen quite a bit of the world.
And regarding Qin Tian’s capabilities, Lu Qing had experienced them firsthand when securing the Zhonghai Square project. She had met various high-ranking officials, and since the waiter was the one at fault in the first place, she had great confidence in Qin Tian.
The group was at a standoff outside the private room in the corridor when Qian Yunfu and Wang Xia exchanged glances, sneering inwardly, thinking that they would get them fired – who did they think they were? They should just be thankful that they weren’t chased out like beggars faking poverty to scam money!
Before the waitstaff could bring the manager over, the hotel’s security arrived first.
Seeing the security guards, Qian Yunfu’s confidence surged instantly.
With an arrogant air, he pointed at Qin Tian and said to the two approaching guards, "Them, right there, a bunch of laborers making trouble. Kick them out quickly so they don’t disturb the other customers."
F*ck, I’ve become a laborer who’s here to cause trouble?
Hearing Qian Yunfu’s words, Qin Tian was seething with anger, especially seeing the two guards approach him. He spread his arms wide and declared, "Nobody touches anything until your manager gets here!"
The guards were taken aback by Qin Tian’s fierceness, hesitating and looking towards Qian Yunfu.
Qian Yunfu, serving as a mid-level supervisor here, frowned at the guards and said, "He tells you not to move and you actually don’t? And if he tells you to eat sh*t, will you eat it? Hurry up and take them away! If you bother other customers and the manager blames us, you’ll be responsible!"
Having heard Qian Yunfu invoke the manager’s name, the guards had no choice but to act.
However, before they could move, Qin Tian was one step ahead, his hand clamping down on one shoulder of each guard, his voice stern, "Gentlemen, this doesn’t concern you, no need to interfere. When your manager arrives, I’ll take any responsibility. Stand back!"
As he spoke, Qin Tian exerted pressure, and the two guards instantly felt as if their shoulders were breaking, grimacing in pain.
"Let go... we won’t touch you... won’t touch you..."
The intense pain forced the two security guards to compromise with Qin Tian.
"Who’s causing trouble here!"
Just then, a strong voice came from down the corridor, and the onlookers automatically cleared a path, as two waitstaff led a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes towards them.
Qin Tian recognized the man at a glance and realized that he must be the general manager of the Zhonghai Grand Hotel, so he released the shoulders of the two security guards.
"Manager Qin, they were causing trouble... Some construction workers came here to swindle food and drinks. Ah, you didn’t have to come; I could have handled it," said Qian Yunfu to the manager, trying to pre-emptively blame the others.
Pointing at the two security guards, Qian Yunfu continued, "Manager Qin, as you saw just now, not only did he come here to make trouble, but he also injured our security guards. I was just going to have him leave, but now, I think we need to call the police."
Upon hearing Qian Yunfu’s words, Lu Dakuan and Wang Shulan immediately turned pale with fright.
The other party wanted to call the police—what were they to do? Indeed, it was Qin Tian who had acted first!
The manager surnamed "Qin" looked over at Qin Tian, first with an indifferent glance, but when he took a careful look at Qin Tian, he suddenly paused, as if trying to recall something.
Manager Qin walked up to Qin Tian and stretched out his hand, pointing at him, but he seemed to forget Qin Tian’s name, "Aren’t you surnamed Qin...?"
In fact, Qin Tian also felt that the man was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him before at a dinner party, so Qin Tian introduced himself directly: "My name is Qin Tian."
Upon hearing Qin Tian’s name, Manager Qin’s expression changed instantly, his face lighting up with joy: "Right, right, right, your name is Qin Tian, haha, I remember you!"
Manager Qin’s demeanor became immediately affable and obsequious, which left everyone around them dumbfounded.
This Manager Qin, could he be acquainted with these construction workers?
All surnamed Qin... could they be relatives?
"Who are you?" Qin Tian found him familiar but was certain this man was not someone he knew well.
"My name is Qin Wei, haha, Mr. Qin Tian, you certainly wouldn’t remember me, but I remember you," said Qin Wei, warmly shaking Qin Tian’s hand, all smiles: "Do you remember the banquet hosted by Mr. Fan earlier this year? I had the honor to attend it with our chairman... Haha, Mr. Fan personally toasted you, and I was sitting at the same table, the one at the very back."
With that reminder, Qin Tian immediately recalled the encounter; no wonder the man looked so familiar—it was from Mr. Fan’s banquet!
"Heh heh, you were personally toasted by Mr. Fan... Haha, everyone was shocked, and they all remembered your name, haha, and so did I. We both share the Qin surname, so we might even be related," Qin Wei said enthusiastically, as he tried to establish a connection with Qin Tian, leaving the onlookers astonished.
Especially Qian Yunfu and Wang Xia, their faces were as unsightly as could be at that moment.
