Chapter 2400: Chapter 2205: Cutting Off One’s Livelihood Is Like Killing Their Parents (Part 3)
Huang Yuansheng running an outdoor barbecue instead of a high-end hotel isn’t being foolish. High-end hotels do make money, but think about it, are there more rich people in society, or more poor people eating at a barbecue stand?
Huang Yuansheng’s business model is, the wealthy go for quality, the poor go for quantity. So this outdoor barbecue plaza is extremely popular, but the prices are quite friendly, and over time, he actually earns more than from high-end hotels.
After all, the cost of running an outdoor barbecue is much less than opening a hotel.
Huang Yuansheng is one of the few owners in Minghe who independently has such a large industry. He has been operating in Minghe for many years, deeply rooted with strong connections. His status in Minghe is unmatched by a small bank manager.
Usually, Huang Yuansheng wouldn’t appear at such a storefront, but as he said, today is the last day of the year, there’s an event. The store manager invited him to attend, and he encountered this incident, which counted as bad luck for Huang Qingyuan and Zheng Lulu.
Calling it bad luck, you could also say they brought it upon themselves.
For such arrogant and unreasonable people, there are always those who aren’t afraid to deal with them.
"Hmph... Consider yourself a bit insightful." Huang Yuansheng snorted coldly.
"Mr Huang, I’m really sorry, I didn’t know this was your territory. My wife was being unreasonable, please don’t be angry!" Huang Qingyuan spoke while wiping sweat.
"You didn’t know this was my territory? If this was someone else’s territory, would you have just messed around? Do you know how difficult it is to run a restaurant? You make one call to ’Urban Life’, and my brand’s thirty-something locations would get a bad reputation. Have you thought about how much loss that would cause? Huh?" Huang Yuansheng scolded Huang Qingyuan.
"But your family runs a bank, so it’s easy to handle. You tell me, with your disturbance, how many customers did you scare away? I want you to compensate twenty thousand, not much, right? Reasonable, right?" Huang Yuansheng asked Huang Qingyuan and Zheng Lulu, and turned back to exchange glances with his followers.
"Not much, not much, reasonable, reasonable." Huang Yuansheng’s followers nodded in agreement.
After hearing Huang Yuansheng’s words, the passersby who seemed to be eating and drinking but were actually watching the commotion began whispering.
Chapter 2207 These Two are Your Friends
"Hey, these two are really fool*, daring to mess in anyone’s place. Are they capable of provoking Boss Huang? Today is the last day of the year, there’s an event, more customers would naturally come, and they cause trouble, isn’t this just looking for trouble? Now they’re satisfied."
"It’s also these two’s bad luck. Boss Huang only shows up twice a year, and they happened to run into him."
"Boss Huang is impressive. In other restaurants, if they found a hair in the food, they would go to ’Urban Life’, and afterwards, definitely get checked for sanitation, rectified, and fined. Once at Nanhe District’s Spring Full Building, they found a fly, and then the customer called ’Urban Life’. The reporters came immediately, snapping photos, and then asked the owner, ’Hello, what do you think about finding a fly in the food?’ Later they made a commotion at the health bureau, and went through months of suspension and rectification, not sure how much they were fined, major loss, the owner said half a year wasted."
"Boss Huang, this is interesting, finding a hair and demanding the customer kneels and pleads, and then compensates the restaurant."
"Who told these two to be so blind!"
Huang Qingyuan and Zheng Lulu were a bit stunned by Boss Huang’s words. Both were bank managers, twenty thousand isn’t a big amount, but they didn’t expect Boss Huang to actually dare propose such a demand. Instead of compensating the customer, the restaurant demands money. That’s too outrageous, isn’t it?
"Boss Huang, you..." Huang Qingyuan hesitated.
"Don’t want to pay? Not paying is also fine, then leave a finger each as a souvenir for me." Huang Yuansheng said to Huang Qingyuan and Zheng Lulu.
"No, no, no, Boss Huang, we’ll pay, we’ll pay!" Huang Qingyuan pleaded repeatedly.
"Yes, Boss Huang, this matter is our fault. We troubled Mr Huang’s business, we’ll pay, we’ll pay now. Please forgive us!" Zheng Lulu also pleaded with Boss Huang.
"Hmph, I’ll tell you, knowing that you two are people with status, I’ll give you a friendly price, twenty thousand, no less." Boss Huang dismissively said to Huang Qingyuan and Zheng Lulu.
"Yes, yes, yes, thank you, Boss Huang!"
"Hahahaha, Boss Huang, I like reasonable and sensible people like you."
"Boss Huang, after we get back, we’ll call someone to bring you the money."
Boss Huang nodded slightly, waved, and let his men release Huang Qingyuan and Zheng Lulu.
"Tonight’s meal is on me, feel free to order anything else you want." Boss Huang pretended to be generous and said to the standing Huang Qingyuan and Zheng Lulu.
"No need, no need!" Huang Qingyuan and Zheng Lulu refused repeatedly.
Boss Huang said nothing, prepared to leave with his followers.
"Boss Huang, your restaurant is really ruthlessly domineering." Song Xiaodong, seeing Boss Huang about to leave, finally spoke up.
Huang Qingyuan and Zheng Lulu had just sat down opposite Song Xiaodong and Chu Xianling with sullen faces, and suddenly heard Song Xiaodong boldly sitting in the chair, leaning his whole body against it, tilting his head, his expression very relaxed, challenging Boss Huang who was ready to leave.
