Chapter 109 Doubt
"I'm Mr. Cai, the owner of the neighborhood restaurant. We're friends if we know each other." Mr. Cai echoed.
Several other companies also signed up one after another and said a lot of good things, as if they were really sincere!
Pei Yian's expression didn't fluctuate much, and he wasn't happy that these people offered to help.
He knew that these were mostly compliments, and the main reason was because of what happened a few days ago. These people came up to make friends with them just to get rid of suspicion.
His attitude, which was neither enthusiastic nor cold, made everyone a little confused. They didn't know what Manager Pei meant.
It was Shopkeeper Lai who broke the atmosphere first. He took the initiative to ask, "Shopkeeper Pei, where is the chef of your Baiwei Restaurant? Can you introduce him to someone?"
Ji Zhisui heard a lot of people talking in front. It was not dinner time yet, so she was afraid that someone was here to cause trouble like before. She hurried to the front hall and heard what Manager Lai said.
She didn't go up to talk to him directly, but just looked at Pei Yian, wanting to ask what he thought.
Just at that moment, Pei Yian discovered Sui Niang hiding by the door and peeking at him. Their eyes met directly through several restaurant owners.
Then, the look in Ji Zhisui's eyes turned into confusion, because the man was walking towards him step by step. His tall stature could block Ji Zhisui, who was less than 1.6 meters tall.
"Sui Niang, do you want to make friends with the owners of these restaurants?" Pei Yian did not directly agree or refuse, but came over to ask her what she thought.
This made Ji Zhisui feel respected from head to toe. In the end, she nodded. They were all in the same industry, and she wanted to make friends with them.
After seeing Sui Niang nod, Pei Yian naturally took her hand and brought her to the restaurant owners.
Perhaps it was because Pei Yian's movements were too natural and frank, or perhaps the two of them were already used to getting along like this, Ji Zhisui did not notice anything unusual and followed his footsteps to the front.
Pei Yian solemnly introduced: "Everyone, this is Chef Ji from our Baiwei Restaurant."
This was the first time she heard Pei Yian call her chef, and these three words made her feel ashamed.
Although many fans have called themselves this before, the screen and the real person are different.
She always felt that Pei Yian had elevated her.
Compared to the others who were more shocked, Shopkeeper Lai excitedly extended his hand and said in an excited voice, "You are Chef Ji. I've heard so much about you! I really like that Dongpo pork!"
"Hello!" Faced with such an enthusiastic shopkeeper Lai, Ji Zhisui didn't know how to respond and could only extend his hand to shake hands with him.
At the same time, she could also feel other people looking at her, mostly with curiosity and amazement.
"Manager Lai, what is Dongpo pork? Why have I never heard of it?" someone asked.
"Oh, you don't know this. Dongpo pork is the most delicious thing in the world!"
With the praise from Shopkeeper Lai, everyone became curious about this dish. Later, they sat down at the table and ordered the food they were interested in.
Mainly because they have been running the restaurant for so many years and have never heard of these foods. Today they finally have a chance, so of course they want to see them.
For a while, everyone was chatting happily and the atmosphere was great.
On the other side, Shopkeeper Guo, who had just received the report from his subordinates, could no longer hold back while calmly sipping his tea. He threw the teacup in his hand heavily.
"You useless idiot, didn't I tell you to notify me as soon as you have any news? Many people have already gone there. Wouldn't it be too late for me to go?"
waste!
He can't even do this little thing!
Even the incident of false accusation against Baiwei Restaurant, they couldn't even handle such a small matter!
Manager Guo had no place to vent his anger, his face looked frighteningly ugly, and the man lowered his head. There were several restaurants!
He and his men were not able to take care of everything at the same time, so after learning the news, they did not dare to delay and came to report the news.
"How many restaurants haven't taken any action yet?" Shopkeeper Guo suppressed his anger.
"There are three or four more."
"Go find some people and gather them all together. Since those people from Chunfeng Restaurant are rushing to show their courtesy, we can't just sit back and take action."
When the man heard this, he immediately took action.
When Manager Guo brought the remaining families to Baiwei Restaurant, he found that everyone was sitting at the table with several dishes placed in front of them.
The thought that these people might have been colluding behind their backs, isolating and ostracizing them, and might even throw dirty water on them was heartbreaking.
Someone's tone couldn't help but be a little sarcastic: "Oh, everyone is eating so happily, could it be that they forgot about us?"
Shopkeeper Lai was already drooling over the dishes on the table. When he was about to start eating with his chopsticks, he heard this somewhat sarcastic voice.
Following the crowd's gaze, he saw his rival, which immediately diminished his appetite.
This time, all the restaurants and hotels in Qizhou County are here, but no one knows who is the murderer behind the framing of Baiwei Restaurant.
Shopkeeper Guo glanced at the man who had started to mock him. The man also realized that he had said the wrong thing too quickly. With an awkward smile on his face, he stood back, trying to reduce his presence.
Shopkeeper Guo stood in the middle, and the people around him had a vague sense of being centered around him. Pei Yian also noticed this detail.
I guess this is the owner of Yutan Pavilion, the largest restaurant in Qizhou County.
As expected, Shopkeeper Guo and the others began to introduce themselves, and then he said jokingly, "Shopkeeper Lai, why didn't you notify us when you came here? Do you think we're up to something?"
Manager Lai, who was named, felt a little embarrassed because he was not familiar with the people in Yutan Pavilion.
Today, only a few restaurant owners with whom he had connections came with him. Moreover, although he mostly did not believe what Manager Cai had said to him, he still took it to heart.
What if this happens?
Just when Shopkeeper Lai was feeling extremely embarrassed, Pei Yi stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper Guo, they are just here to eat today. If you want to see anything you are interested in, there is a menu over there. You can take a look."
Shopkeeper Lai looked at Pei Yian with some gratitude. These words were timely and helped him out of the predicament. The implication was that these people just came here to eat and had no other intentions.
Shopkeeper Guo nodded and replied, "I see? Then I guess I misunderstood something."
Pei Yian narrowed his eyes and looked at the shopkeeper Guo who was looking at the menu. He seemed to be a little too concerned about this matter.
