Chapter 452 Feng Gan Wants to Help

The next day, Xinglong Restaurant offered half-price deals on its new dishes, attracting another large number of customers.

Many people lamented that they were too busy the day before to come, thus missing the opportunity to enjoy the free food.

The guests who came on the first day came again on the second day and ordered new dishes.

Xinglong Restaurant was thriving, but no customers came from any direction.

On this day, only three tables of guests from all directions came to Bafanglaike. They only came because they were starving after waiting in line at Xinglong Restaurant for too long.

When He Mazi found out, he almost kicked the customer out of the restaurant, but Manager He stopped him and prevented the incident from happening.

As soon as the guests left, Manager He immediately dragged He Mazi to the accounting room and scolded, "What do you want to do? Do you want the news that you're kicking out guests from all directions to spread throughout Yunhe County tomorrow?"

"No... Uncle, I'm just angry that those people were discussing the dishes at Xinglong Restaurant right here in front of us." He Mazi was very displeased.

Manager He slammed his fist on the table and roared, "So what? When you run a restaurant, all you have to do is serve your customers well. What they talk about is none of your business!"

Before He Mazi could retort, he continued, "He Mazi, let me tell you, I only let you come along because of that father. If you cause me trouble, I will show you no mercy!"

The previous manager of the Bafanglaike Hefengzhen store had already taught him a lesson, and he wouldn't repeat the same mistake.

Before coming to Hefeng Town, Boss Pei repeatedly warned him not to do anything underhanded.

It's enough that guests from all directions have lost face once; they can't afford to lose face a second time.

As everyone knows, the previous shopkeeper was personally bound and sent to the government office by Boss Pei.

If something similar happens again, he will surely suffer the same fate.

"Uncle, what are we afraid of?" He Mazi retorted, "There's just a woman and a fat man over there. We're a grand restaurant here, and we have Magistrate Fang backing us up. Are we inferior to them?"

"Do you really think Magistrate Fang will back us up? It's just that Xinglong Restaurant's reputation is too great, and he wants to balance things out!" Manager He sighed.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

A waiter came over and whispered something in Manager He's ear.

Upon hearing this, Manager He looked at He Mazi with disappointment and said, "Go settle your accounts with the accountant and go back to Linshan Town. It's not appropriate for you to stay here."

"Uncle..." He Mazi wanted to speak, but was kicked away by Manager He.

He sat frozen on the ground, an expression of disbelief on his face. "Uncle, you kicked me?"

"Go back by yourself, or wait for the people on the other side to send you to the authorities. The choice is yours!" Manager He glared at He Mazi, his eyes filled with anger.

He Mazi was stunned for a moment, and finally realized the seriousness of the matter, but he was unwilling to give up.

Manager He didn't give him a choice. He had someone take him directly to the accounting office to pay his wages and specially arranged for someone to supervise him as he rode a mule cart away from Hefeng Town.

At the same time, guests from all directions welcomed their boss, Pei Shi'an.

Xinglong Restaurant also welcomed a regular customer.

"Prepare a fine private room for me, and bring me a serving of all your new dishes!" Feng Gan said as he walked upstairs, completely disregarding the fact that he was a guest of honor.

When the other men saw that it was this "ancestor," none of them dared to follow, except for Xiao Liuzi, who hurriedly went along.

He smiled and said, "Young Master Feng, what brings you here today? There's only one small private room left; all the others are full. You see..."

Upon hearing this, Feng Gan paused, glanced at Xiao Liuzi, and said, "It's alright, I don't mind. Just bring your Manager Wan here."

"Manager Wan is busy and doesn't have time." Xiao Liuzi said, opening the door to the private room and welcoming the person in.

Feng Gan sat down, looked up at Xiao Liu Zi, and said coldly, "Kid, do you know who you're talking to? What do you mean by 'busy' or 'no time'?"

Xiao Liu bowed respectfully, but his words were rather infuriating: "These are Manager Wan's exact words; I am merely relaying them."

Upon hearing this, Feng Gan's expression softened somewhat. He grumbled and cursed for a while before ordering two jugs of wine and letting Xiao Liuzi leave.

Xiao Liuzi went to the kitchen and had just finished explaining the dishes and his requirements when Wan Qiqi spoke up.

"Is that guy surnamed Feng here?" She tilted her head.

“Yes, Young Master Feng came looking for you as soon as he arrived, but I told him you were busy,” Xiao Liuzi replied with a grin.

"That's clever. Remember to make him pay the original price." Wan Qiqi said, then told Panda and Lei Zi the names of the dishes and asked them to cook them.

She straightened her clothes and left the kitchen with Xiao Liuzi.

Wan Qiqi did not go to see Feng Gan immediately, but instead spent some time getting acquainted with the guests in the hall.

Afterwards, she took some snacks to the private rooms on the second floor and served them to each person.

Finally, they stopped at the door of the private room where Feng Gan was, but they had no more snacks in their hands.

Pushing open the door, Feng Gan was drinking from a wine glass. Glancing at the person in the doorway, he moved the glass aside and said, "Weren't you busy? What brings you here?"

"Then I'll leave?" Wan Qiqi asked seriously.

"No, no, no, now that you're here, don't leave!" Feng Gan put his wine glass on the table, grabbed Wan Qiqi's arm, pulled her inside, and closed the door behind him.

Wan Qiqi glanced at his hand and said coldly, "Young Master Feng, isn't it inappropriate for the two of us to be alone in a room?"

"What are you afraid of? Anyone who dares to say anything, I'll tear their mouth apart." Feng Gan released Wan Qiqi, drank the glass of wine he had just finished, smacked his lips twice, and then said, "What new dishes did you make? Are they good?"

"Why don't you try it and see?" Wan Qiqi replied, sitting down and looking at Feng Gan with her chin in her hand. "You dragged me in here just to talk about this?"
