Listening to Jing Zhe's words was more effective than listening to Manager Lin's words...
Most people agreed with him, as anyone dining in a private room on the second floor or staying at the inn on the third floor certainly didn't want to be disturbed, so they nodded in agreement.
However, a few people were not happy. These were the people who were hit by the clothes. After all, no one would be happy if something like this happened to them and they would just say a few words.
The person who was hit by Madam Feng's underpants was undoubtedly the most relaxed, because the style and pattern of the underpants looked incredibly trendy, and they also exuded a subtle alluring scent. He had already hidden himself away when no one was paying attention.
If he knew that the owner of these underpants was none other than Madam Feng, whom they often considered their dream girl, a woman who, despite her age, still retained her charm, he would probably be even more excited and would simply keep the underpants as a family heirloom…
Of course, this was just a joke, but apart from him, the people who were hit by men's underwear didn't look too good.
At this moment, someone spoke up: "We can't even search this place, are we just going to let it go like this?"
"Of course we can't let it go like this. Didn't Manager Lin promise to compensate you?"
"Yes, yes, we'll compensate you!"
Manager Lin immediately picked up on Jing Zhe's words, while giving him a grateful look. After all, things that can be solved with money are not really problems. Besides, a while had passed, and he didn't know if the battle upstairs was over yet. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the two of them hadn't come down yet and quickly resolve the matter!
"Just one meal as compensation? We don't care!"
"Yes, we don't need your meal!"
"How could it be just a meal? You're really underestimating our Manager Lin!"
After Jing Zhe said this, the group was calmed down, and Manager Lin was satisfied, listening to him continue.
"First of all, everyone who comes to Feng's Restaurant for dinner today will have their meal on the house!"
"Whoa!"
These words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.
Just now, they were just watching the show with a "none of my business" attitude, but now that the benefits have suddenly come their way, they've all perked up!
After all, wouldn't it be foolish not to take advantage of a good deal?
"Young master... how... how come the whole meal is free? Only a few people were hit by the falling object!"
Manager Lin was getting a little anxious and gave Jing Zhe several meaningful glances, as if to say, "What are you doing?"
Jing Zhe then said, "Manager Lin, although the others weren't hit by the clothes, think about it: if anyone else had walked here today, wouldn't they have been hit too? If they weren't hit today, who can guarantee they won't be hit in the future? Although the others weren't hit, they are still under tremendous psychological pressure. Just for that, treating everyone to a meal isn't too much to ask, is it?"
"It's not excessive, it absolutely mustn't be excessive!"
"..."
As soon as Jing Zhe finished speaking, before Manager Lin could react, everyone started talking at once. Of course, everyone supported Jing Zhe, since they all wanted the meal to be free.
Manager Lin's face darkened. "Young master, I must ask you to allow me this matter..."
"Does this even need to be thought about?"
"What fell today was just clothes. What if it had been a knife or a hammer? Could you settle that with just one meal?"
"Of course! Surely Manager Lin wouldn't refuse to give us a free meal, would he?"
"..."
Before Manager Lin could finish speaking, everyone understood what he meant. Let him think about it; he just didn't want to give the meal free, did he?
Everyone immediately offered their greetings.
Jing Zhe waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and said, "Everyone, don't get so agitated. Manager Lin is such a big shot, what's the big deal about him treating everyone to a free meal? It's not that Manager Lin is unwilling to agree, but he's thinking about how to make sure everyone is satisfied with the meal! Manager Lin, you don't need to thank me for helping you out of this situation, it's just what I should do!"
"..."
I thank your whole family!
Before Manager Lin could even speak, Jing Zhe cut him off. He was no longer grateful to Jing Zhe; he hated him to death!
I'd like to get the meal for free, but this huge restaurant isn't mine, so I don't have that right!
At this moment, Jing Zhe spoke up again: "Of course, if Manager Lin really doesn't want to give us a free meal, please don't be angry with him. We should be more understanding. We can't all rush upstairs to search the place. What if we scare away all the guests who are eating and staying at the restaurant? That would be a huge loss for Feng Family Restaurant. It would cost much more than treating everyone to a meal, so we absolutely can't do that!"
"..."
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent again.
Those who dine in the lobby on the first floor are ordinary people, while those who dine and stay on the second and third floors are either rich or noble, and their spending is naturally much higher than that in the lobby on the first floor.
While Jing Zhe was telling them not to do it, why did everyone find it strange, as if he was encouraging them?
Some clever people had already realized what was going on and immediately shouted, "If Manager Lin doesn't give us a free meal today, I'm going to rush upstairs and search everything!"
"I'm going too!"
"Me too!"
"What are you all waiting for? Let's charge in!"
Everyone realized what was happening and was eager to try.
Now, Manager Lin was completely panicked. If all these people rushed upstairs, Feng Family Restaurant would be in complete chaos, and the affair between Madam Feng and Magistrate Xu would probably be exposed!
At that point, it won't just be a matter of money!
So after thinking for a moment, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, everyone's meals are on the house today!"
"good!"
Everyone was overjoyed, and then they all bowed and greeted Jing Zhe with clasped hands, saying, "Thank you, young master!"
"..."
Seeing this, Manager Lin was on the verge of tears: "I gave you a free meal, and you're not thanking me but thanking him?"
At this moment, where was the gratitude in his eyes when he looked at Jing Zhe? He wished he could tear him apart alive, because he had already realized that Jing Zhe had never intended to help him from the beginning, but rather to harm him!
However, not everyone was satisfied with the compensation. For example, those who were actually hit on the head by the underwear and clothes felt somewhat resentful seeing the happy faces of the others.
We were the ones who got hit, so how come they got the same benefits as us?
It makes me feel terrible just thinking about it!
Wait, when did we agree to only make him pay for one meal?
Those who understood this exchanged glances, and then the man who had been hit on the head by the man's underpants stepped forward, cleared his throat twice, and said, "Manager Lin, we haven't agreed yet!"
"..."
At this moment, Manager Lin had not yet recovered from the grief of compensating everyone with a meal. Hearing this, he felt even worse: "I've already compensated everyone, and you still won't agree? Why don't you just fly to the moon?"
