In keeping with its exterior, the interior is also decorated very elegantly, with a classic and charming ambiance that is truly eye-catching.
Zhen Wanwan's wandering gaze caught the shopkeeper's attention. The two made eye contact for a few seconds, and Zhen Wanwan was given a few eye rolls by him.
Seeing this, Zhen Wanwan's anger flared up again. This restaurant was hers now, and there was no reason for her, the boss, to be bullied by her employees.
So Zhen Wanwan walked angrily towards the shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, are you blind? You keep rolling your eyes like that. Anyone who didn't know better would think you look down on others!"
"Hmph!" The shopkeeper looked her up and down, then rolled his eyes.
He said nonchalantly, "If you don't want to eat, then get out and stop blocking my business!"
"No way! Are you out of your mind? You're running a business, and you still have to give customers attitude? Anyone who didn't know better would think the customers were begging you for money!"
Zhen Wanwan had been repeatedly given the cold shoulder by others, even on her own turf, and she was about to lose her temper.
She ordered the shopkeeper's abacus to be taken away and thrown aside, her words filled with dissatisfaction.
"If you don't want to work here anymore, then quit now! Don't just collect your salary without doing any work!"
The shopkeeper was taken aback by her strong reaction. He was initially stunned, but after he came to his senses, he slammed his fist on the counter and shouted angrily.
"How dare you! You're just a woman, how dare you cause trouble!"
As he spoke, he stepped out from behind the counter and shoved Zhen Wanwan, trying to throw her out of the restaurant.
"Get out here right now! I don't know where this country bumpkin came from, daring to cause trouble!"
Zhen Wanwan was no match for him and was almost pushed over. The customers in the store were all startled by the commotion.
"Ouch! What happened?"
The waiter glanced at her and rushed forward to break up the fight. He outwardly agreed with the shopkeeper and pushed her out the door, but in reality, he secretly protected Zhen Wanwan behind him to prevent her from falling victim to the shopkeeper's cruelty again.
"Shopkeeper, you don't need to get involved in this! You rest, just let me chase him away!"
The shopkeeper was so angry that his eyes widened, and he kept cursing Zhen Wanwan.
He even spat in front of the two of them, which made Zhen Wanwan so angry that she vomited blood.
"I think you're the one who's audacious! Daring to deceive your master right in front of him, do you have a death wish?"
People nearby heard the commotion and gathered around to watch.
Zhen Wanwan was furious. As she listened to the shopkeeper's curses, the fire in her heart burned even more fiercely.
He picked up the broom in the corner and started hitting the shopkeeper.
"You're so ungrateful! How dare you bully the master of the house! I'll teach you a lesson!"
As she spoke, Zhen Wanwan put in a fierce effort, deliberately targeting the shopkeeper's sore spots.
The shopkeeper was caught off guard and was hit so hard he screamed repeatedly. Only then did the waiter slowly try to take Zhen Wanwan's broom away.
Taking advantage of the shopkeeper's inattention, she kindly advised Zhen Wanwan, "Miss! You should leave quickly! Otherwise, you'll be in trouble when the officials arrive!"
Zhen Wanwan continued working, and her gaze towards Xiao Er softened with warmth.
Fortunately, the waiter was kind and subtly protected her throughout the ordeal; otherwise, she might have been bullied by the manager.
"I'm not afraid! This restaurant is mine to begin with. It's good that the authorities are coming! It'll make sure that bastard gets out of here sooner!"
The waiter was stunned. He thought that Zhen Wanwan was just joking when she said that she was the owner of this restaurant. He never expected that it was true!
He moved his hand again, pretending to snatch the broom, and deliberately tripped the shopkeeper's foot.
The innkeeper, enraged, yelled, "You bastard! Are you blind?! Just wait till I get my hands on you... Ouch... That hurts so much..."
The shopkeeper, who was already quite plump, was now tripped up by Wang Ba San and had no way to dodge.
"It hurts...it hurts so much...you wretched woman! When the officials come, I won't let you get away with this!"
As he spoke, the shopkeeper's fat body kept twisting and turning, his ugly appearance causing everyone to burst into laughter.
In the past, he relied on his connections with the government and acted arrogantly, thus offending many people.
Seeing him being beaten and scolded by a woman now makes me feel extremely happy, and I even applaud and cheer.
The shopkeeper's face turned red and then pale, but his hatred for Zhen Wanwan only intensified.
Seeing the waiter standing there like a fool, not offering any help, the shopkeeper angrily shouted, "You bastard! Do you want to quit? Hurry up and grab this bitch!"
Wang Ba San suddenly realized what was happening. Seeing the shopkeeper's miserable state, he felt both relieved and somewhat frightened.
Although he didn't know why Zhen Wanwan said the restaurant belonged to her, he was currently working under the manager, and if he turned a blind eye, he might lose his job.
Moreover, the shopkeeper is always savage, and anyone who offends him will likely suffer his retaliation.
Therefore, Wang Basan approached Zhen Wanwan again, trying to take the broom from her hand and once again urging her to leave Guangling County as soon as possible.
He murmured softly, "Girl, you should..."
"Stop! What are you doing?"
Before Wang Basan could even get close, he was kicked to the side, shoulder to shoulder with the shopkeeper.
Before Zhen Wanwan could react, she felt a warm sensation behind her. Turning around, she saw it was Zhu Yuan.
Beside them, Chen Yong and his soldiers were watching the scene intently.
The shopkeeper was still wailing, and when he caught sight of Chen Yong, his cries of grief grew even louder.
"Your Excellency! You've finally arrived! Waaah... This old woman is going to kill my bones."
He pointed at Zhen Wanwan, his eyes full of grievance. His original arrogant image was completely gone, replaced by that of an honest person who had been bullied badly.
He is now exaggerating and complaining to Chen Yong, determined to portray her as an extremely fierce shrew.
Zhen Wanwan ignored him and looked at Zhu Yuan, her face showing some embarrassment, saying, "My lord, what brings you here? Just now you..."
I wonder if the man in front of me saw her fighting style, which was so unladylike.
The thought of him witnessing her fierce side made him feel strangely uncomfortable.
Zhu Yuan was unaware of her thoughts; he simply tightened his grip on her hand and asked with concern, "Are you injured?"
He was relieved to see Zhen Wanwan shake her head...
He and Chen Yong were discussing iron ore mines when they heard someone go to the government office saying that someone was causing trouble at his restaurant.
He guessed Zhen Wanwan's plans and thought that she might come to conduct an on-site inspection. Fearing that she might be bullied for no reason, he came along.
Who would have thought that the troublemaker was actually her…
Fortunately, she was unharmed, otherwise he would have felt extremely guilty.
The complaints continued, but Chen Yong ignored the shopkeeper's words, his eyes only fixed on the interaction between Zhen Wanwan and Zhu Yuan.
"Greetings, Madam! I am so sorry for not greeting you sooner!"
