Chapter 275 Freeloader
She went down the stairs and saw a wall of people gathered downstairs from afar.
Because she was standing high up, she could easily see what was happening inside the wall of people.
A middle-aged man in his forties with thinning hair was cursing and pointing at a young waitress.
The waiter looked to be about twenty years old. He had his head down, his fingers tightly clenched around the corner of his clothes, and his face flushed red. It was unclear whether he was angry or anxious.
"Don't try to fool me with some bullshit leader. Hurry up and return the money and tickets. Otherwise, I won't leave today."
The waitress kept apologizing: "Comrade, I'm so sorry, please wait a moment..."
"I'm waiting for your mother. My time is precious. Stop the bullshit and return the money and tickets quickly!"
"I'm just a waiter. Please don't make it difficult for me. Wait a moment."
The waitress was almost crying and looked around for help.
There were many people watching the fun, but seeing the man's fat face, no one dared to step forward to help.
Su Xiaoxiao frowned. She was not a very kind person, but she hated bullying of the weak.
When the waitress was about to burst into tears, she squeezed through the crowd and said, "You said there's a hair in this noodle. Where is it? Let me see."
The middle-aged man heard the voice, turned around and saw that it was a young girl, and disdain flashed in his eyes.
A little girl can still come up with something new.
He rudely slammed the bowl of noodle soup, which only contained some, on the table. "Look, there are several hairs in it. How can we eat it?"
Su Xiaoxiao leaned over to look at the hair in the bowl.
In the large coarse porcelain bowl, the noodles had been eaten up, leaving only a thin layer of noodle soup, so that the two or three hairs were particularly conspicuous in the bowl.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She was a little unsure just now, but it was indeed quite common for hair to appear in the bowl of noodles.
But now she was sure that the hair in the bowl was definitely not there from the beginning.
She looked away and asked the red-eyed waitress next to her, "Comrade, could you please call the chef who makes noodles in the kitchen?"
When the waitress saw that it was a strange young girl, she was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go get her."
As he spoke, he quickly walked into the kitchen.
Not long after, a middle-aged woman wearing a chef's hat came out following the waitress.
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the yellowed white chef's hat and asked, "Comrade, could you please take it off and let me see it?"
The female chef had just heard about what happened in the lobby. When she heard that she was asked to take off her hat, she took it off immediately without any pretense.
When the middle-aged man saw it, he immediately shouted: "Look, a chef with such long hair, it would be strange if it didn't fall into the food."
"Everyone, please be careful when eating. If you accidentally eat something, it will be so dirty."
The female chef was unhappy when she heard this: "What's wrong with me having long hair? I always wear a hat when I cook, so there's no way my hair would fall in."
"I didn't fall in. What is this?"
The middle-aged man proudly held up the bowl of noodles and said, "Take a good look at it, and don't say I wronged you."
The female chef was stunned when she saw the hair in the bowl. She had obviously been very careful when cooking, so how could this happen?
The middle-aged man was even more proud, and raised his eyebrows to look at Su Xiaoxiao: "Okay, now that everything is clear, hurry up and compensate!"
Many people around were talking about it. The female chef stood in the crowd with a gloomy face, and everyone began to doubt whether the hair was really lost by accident.
Just as I was lost in thought, I heard a clear and pleasant voice: "Everyone, have you seen this? The chef has curly hair, but the hair in this bowl of noodles is straight. There's no way it was lost by the chef."
Su Xiaoxiao suppressed her nausea and used chopsticks to pick up the hair in the noodle soup and held it up to show everyone.
All eyes were fixed on those strands of hair, which were not only straight but also short.
My eyes unconsciously fell on the middle-aged man's sparse hair...
Seeing everyone's eyes on him, the man immediately panicked: "Then where did this hair come from? If it's not the chef's, it must be the waiter's."
Everyone looked at the waiter again. Although he didn't have a perm, his hair was straight, long and straight.
"Okay, put your hair in the bowl yourself, and you still want to eat for free, how can you be so shameless?"
Su Xiaoxiao listened to his nonsense and couldn't help but expose it directly.
The middle-aged man glared at her fiercely: "What nonsense are you talking about? Be careful or I'll report you to the police for slander."
"You don't need to report it. Anyone who has time to help me go to the nearby police station and call two police officers?"
Originally, he thought they were all young girls and easy to fool, but he didn't expect that the girl would actually call the police. The middle-aged man was a little panicked at the time.
He just wanted to have a bowl of noodles for free, but he didn't think about going to jail.
Many people around realized at this time that this person was just here to eat for free.
Someone immediately raised his hand in indignation: "I'll go."
The Municipal Public Security Bureau is just one street away from the State-owned Hotel, and it only takes ten minutes to walk there and back.
If you walk fast, it probably won’t take even ten minutes.
When he heard that he really had to report the case to the police, the middle-aged man's face changed immediately.
"Alright, it's just a bowl of noodles, forget it, I won't pursue it."
After saying that, he picked up the bag on the stool and squeezed out of the crowd in shame.
The waiter and the chef finally came to their senses and hurriedly thanked Su Xiaoxiao: "Comrade, thank you for what you did just now."
As they were talking, a middle-aged woman wearing a gray women's suit and with short hair, who looked very capable, walked out of the crowd.
"What's going on? Where are the troublemakers?"
The waitress turned around and saw her manager, and quickly pointed at Su Xiaoxiao: "Manager Chen, thanks to this female comrade's help, the troublemaker has left."
Manager Chen nodded at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Comrade, I'm the manager of this state-owned restaurant. Thank you very much for what you did just now. All your bills today are free."
Su Xiaoxiao waved her hands hurriedly: "How can I be so embarrassed? Whatever I do, I will do it."
The state-owned restaurants at this time are all public, so if she doesn't pay, someone else will probably pay for her.
Manager Chen didn't expect her to say that, and he looked at her with a little more appreciation: "Okay, then I'll ask the kitchen to send you two more meat dishes as a thank you gift for today."
The girl was young, but she was righteous. She liked her just by looking at her and thought of her as making another friend.
If she continued to refuse, it would be hypocritical, so Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to agree.
…
She pushed open the door of the private room and saw Song Weidong and Zhou Cheng sitting face to face. She didn't know what they had just talked about, and both of them looked unhappy.
