A young man’s voice came from outside the crowd.
Everyone looked at the source of the voice and was surprised.
When the innkeeper saw who it was, his arrogant and unforgiving expression immediately turned polite and fawning. He stepped forward and bowed slightly, saying to the person, ” young master Zhou, what brings you here? ”
Zhou Wencai replied with a smile that was not a smile, ” shopkeeper Zhang, what are you saying? Isn’t food for heavens a restaurant? What else do I come here for other than to eat? Do you think I’m here just to laugh at you?”
The moment Zhou Wencai’s words left his mouth, shopkeeper Zhang’s expression froze. He was unable to react in time.
Why did the words of the county magistrate’s son sound so weird?
Did they offend young master Zhou before?
Manager Zhang thought to himself, but he still beamed at Zhou wencai and said, “Young master Zhou, I’ve embarrassed myself. It’s just these two customers who ordered but didn’t want to pay, so they’re trying to find an excuse.”
Zhou wencai continued to look at the two with a faint smile. He asked manager Zhang, ” Oh, there’s actually someone who dares to eat for free in this world? I’d like to see who’s so bold.”
It was just that the more shopkeeper Zhang listened to him, the more he felt that his words were a little strange.
Although young master Zhou often came to eat and occasionally met one or two customers who wanted to dine and dash, his way of doing things at that time was to sit by the side and watch, not wanting to meddle in other people’s business.
But now …
Shopkeeper Zhang had a bad premonition.
However, before he could react, the development of the matter was completely beyond his expectations.
The moment Zhou Wencai finished speaking, the waiter pointed at Lin yuelan and Jiang Zhennan without waiting for manager Zhang’s reply. With a disdainful and contemptuous expression, he said to Zhou wencai, ” it’s the two of them!”
Soon after, Zhou Wencai’s reaction completely exceeded everyone’s expectations.
When Zhou Wencai saw Lin yuelan and Jiang Zhennan, his hand that was fanning paused. He immediately put on a dazed and surprised expression, but his surprise immediately turned into joy. He immediately closed his fan and walked toward Lin yuelan and Jiang Zhennan with a few steps. He said excitedly and happily, ” Miss Lin, young master Nan, we’re really fated. We’ve just separated, but we’ve met again in this restaurant in just a short while!”
Upon hearing Zhou Wencai’s words and seeing his delighted expression, everyone was stunned, especially manager Zhang and the waiter, whose mouths were wide open in shock.
However, shopkeeper Zhang quickly reacted and asked carefully, ” Mr. Zhou, do you know them? ”
Zhou wencai replied without a second thought, ” of course. They are my father’s distinguished guests! Miss Lin, young master Nan, I’ve already prepared food and wine in my residence. Would the two of you please follow me back to the Zhou residence for a meal?”
Zhou Wencai’s words were like a Boulder being thrown into a calm lake, causing huge splashes. Following that, the waves surged.
They would never have thought that this man and woman, whom they had regarded as poor would actually be County Magistrate Zhou’s guests. That’s right, not young master Zhou’s guests, but Lord Zhou’s guests.
Shopkeeper Zhang and the waiter’s expressions immediately turned into horror and panic.
Because they had just offended these two guests. The next moment, they found out that they were actually the guests of County Magistrate Zhou. This made them panic.
Although they were the restaurant’s manager and waiter, their status was not high at all.
Shopkeeper Zhang and the waiter’s faces immediately turned pale, especially the waiter’s.
Previously, he had been able to insult Lin yuelan and Jiang Zhennan because they had no status or background. Now, in the blink of an eye, the two people whom he had originally looked down on had become high and mighty figures. This kind of impact simply made him feel like finding a hole in the ground to hide in so that he could escape from this terrifying scene.
After being stunned for a moment, shopkeeper Zhang came back to his senses. His face was very ugly and ashamed. He said to Lin yuelan and Jiang Zhennan, ” my two guests, it was my and the waiter’s fault just now. The ignorant are innocent. Please forgive us for our recklessness and rudeness!”
As soon as he said this, Lin yuelan’s expression didn’t change at all. She just indifferently said to shopkeeper Zhang, ” shopkeeper Zhang, how are you ignorant and innocent?”
