Chapter 357 Young Master Feng Pays the Bill for the Entire Audience

The government notice was posted on the bulletin board, sparking much discussion among the people.

"It really was the work of these visitors from all directions! They are truly ruthless!"

"It was the right thing to shut down the restaurant; otherwise, would we have let them cause us trouble?"

"With this incident, the Pei family's business will likely be affected."

"Yes, there are many people working for Bafanglaike, and now they're going to lose their jobs and have to find new ones!"

"Isn't Xinglong Restaurant still operating? They need so many people!"

"What are you thinking? How big is Bafang Laike? How big is Xinglong Restaurant? Can you even compare them?"

"Although Xinglong Restaurant is a bit small, the food there is really good. I need to find out when it will open so I can go there for a few more meals."

"Aren't you afraid of getting an upset stomach again after eating this?"

"That's true. Let's observe for a couple of days first. If everything's alright, then I'll go!"

The crisis at Xinglong Restaurant has now come to an end.

Pei Shi'an dismissed the staff from all directions and provided them with compensation so that they could live comfortably until they found their next job.

The remaining government officials and their men led Zhu Chengye and Liu Ji into the Bafang Laike (Eight Directions Visitors) area to inventory the supplies.

Write down which items can be taken to Xinglong Restaurant and which can be exchanged for cash.

Although Xinglong Restaurant has been closed for the past two days, the interior has been cleaned and tidied up as needed.

Therefore, normal business operations can resume after the announcement of reopening.

However, Wan Qiqi did not have anyone receive guests, but instead entertained the busy officials who had been working these past few days.

After handing over his duties to the government officials, Pei Shi'an left Hefeng Town without lingering for long.

Wan Qiqi stared at his departing figure for a long time, until his back disappeared from sight, before she looked away.

Chen Yongnian stood beside Wan Qiqi and whispered, "Wife, you seem to have something on your mind?"

Wan Qiqi turned to look at him, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Xie Xing standing at the entrance of the restaurant.

She smiled faintly at Chen Yongnian and said, "It's alright, go inside first, I'll tell you later."

The two walked back and stopped in front of Xie Xing.

"Lord Xie, the guests from all directions have brought quite a lot of things. Are you really going to compensate Xinglong Restaurant for all of them?" Wan Qiqi tilted her head and squinted at Xie Xing, a smile on her face.

"I have already given the order, would I lie to you?" Xie Xing glanced at the two of them, then turned and walked inside.

"Such a wonderful thing! I should treat Lord Xie to a good meal at Xinglong Restaurant. Otherwise, how can I do justice to Lord Xie?" Wan Qiqi looked at the porcelain vase on the table, her eyes gleaming.

Xie Xing turned and glanced at her, then smiled and said, "Then I, Xie, will humbly accept your offer."

He looked at Chen Yongnian and said, "Yongnian, come upstairs with me and wait for Manager Wan's good wine and food!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a commotion erupted at the entrance of the restaurant.

"It's you again! What are you up to now, you filthy scoundrel?"

"What do you mean by 'scoundrel'? It's none of your business where I go."

"The soldiers haven't even left yet, and you dare to cause trouble? Do you really think your brother-in-law from Liangzhou will help you?"

"I'm here to drink and eat, who said I'm here to cause trouble?"

"Is there anything about you that doesn't scream 'I'm here to cause trouble'?"

Wan Qiqi's smile faded slightly as she quietly watched the two noisy people enter through the door.

She said coldly, "Xinglong Restaurant will reopen tomorrow; we will not be serving customers today."

"Are you stupid, woman..." Feng Gan pointed at Wan Qiqi and cursed for a moment, then stopped, withdrew his hand, and suppressed his previous arrogance.

He swaggered into the restaurant, saying, "The guests are all in, there's no reason to turn them away."

"My restaurant, isn't it up to me to call the shots?" Wan Qiqi raised her hand, signaling for the person to be kicked out.

Unfazed, Feng Gan glared at the people surrounding him and said coldly, "I have money, I'm willing to pay double!"

Wan Qiqi stared at him silently, without any reaction.

Chen Yongnian stepped forward and said coldly, "Young Master Feng hasn't settled his bill from last time, and there's still money for the broken tables, chairs, and fruit plates."

When Feng Gan saw Chen Yongnian, he was furious.

It's this Chen Yongnian who made me lose face last time, and he still dares to ask me for compensation!

"Tsk, having money and still dining and dashing, Young Master Feng is really something!" Fang Luxue mocked, walking to Wan Qiqi's side and making a face at Feng Gan.

It was as if she was saying: Look, she doesn't dare let me leave, she only chases you away!

"Who said I ate and dashed? I just forgot to pay!" Feng Gan said, taking off his money pouch and tossing it towards Wan Qiqi. "Here you go! I want to eat, so get me some!"

Wan Qiqi opened the money pouch and looked inside; there were three five-tael silver ingots.

Indeed, the young masters of wealthy families are different!

While others carried copper coins when they went out, he carried silver ingots, and he wasn't worried that the shopkeepers wouldn't be able to make change.

However, Wan Qiqi didn't seem to want change. She tossed the money pouch to Liu Ji, who was busy at the counter, and said, "Accountant Liu, think about it and give Young Master Feng a membership so he can save it for later use!"

Feng Gan was surprised that Wan Qiqi actually dared to accept the money and didn't leave him a single penny!

Although fifteen taels was nothing to him, this village woman was too calm about fifteen taels of silver.

Is she really just a village woman from a small mountain village?

Before Feng Gan could speak, Wan Qiqi continued, "Young Master Feng, the chef from the restaurant has already gone back. Would you mind joining Lord Xie?"

As she spoke, she looked at Xie Xing, who was standing in the stairwell.

If her intuition was correct, Feng Gan was somewhat afraid of Xie Xing.

Although Feng Gan acted arrogantly just now, he seemed to be hiding something, as if he was wary of something.

Feng Gan dared to confront Fang Luxue, so he must not be afraid of the people at Xinglong Restaurant. The only possibility is Xie Xing.
