Chapter 341 Investigating Suspicious People
"Where's Qiqi? With such a big incident at the restaurant, why isn't she here?"
The first thing Fang Luxue did after sitting down was to ask about Wan Qiqi's whereabouts, as if she had come here solely for Wan Qiqi's sake.
Tao Ran and Wan Ziyan sat down to drink tea. They didn't answer, but they both looked at Chen Yongnian as if to ask: Where is your wife?
Chen Yongnian scratched his head, looking somewhat clumsy, a stark contrast to his confrontation with Feng Gan on the first floor.
He blinked and said, "My wife...she's helping out in the kitchen."
As soon as he finished speaking, three different voices rang out.
Tao Ran: "That's really her personality."
Chen Yongnian acknowledged that his wife was different from others.
Wan Ziyan said, "The kitchen is full of men. How can a girl like her share a room with so many grown men?"
Chen Yongnian thought to himself that he couldn't stop his wife from making that decision.
Fang Luxue reacted the most strongly: "Such a big restaurant, and the kitchen doesn't even have this many people? They need the manager to help out?"
Chen Yongnian glanced at her, wanting her to try and persuade her, but his wife wouldn't listen.
After the three finished speaking, they all looked at Chen Yongnian.
Fang Luxue and Wan Ziyan each said something to Chen Yongnian, telling him to take good care of Wan Qiqi, not to make her do these rough jobs, and to act like a manager.
Tao Ran sat to the side drinking tea, looking like he was watching a show.
Si Xi brought in a small plate of cold dishes and fruits, but was momentarily stunned by the atmosphere inside. She put down the fruit plate and hurriedly fled.
Tao Ran glanced at Sixi a couple more times and said, "This waiter seems to be a bit different from others."
Wan Ziyan finally stopped bombarding Chen Yongnian and said, "Brother Tao, if I tell your sister-in-law this, will you still be able to come to the academy tomorrow?"
Tao Ran's face darkened. "Zi Yan, this is not fair! I helped your sister with such a big matter, and you repay kindness with enmity?"
Fang Luxue was a little confused by their conversation. "What are you talking about? What's so special about the waiter?"
After saying that, she thought about it carefully again, and found that it was similar to what she had seen before, with nothing special about it.
Chen Yongnian's expression changed drastically at the mention of the waiter.
It’s over!
Because of Feng Gan's incident, he forgot something important!
Without saying a word, he immediately opened the door and left.
Fang Luxue frowned slightly and said, "What's he up to? Downstairs, that person was already pushing his luck, and he didn't do anything. Now he's acting all high and mighty, like everyone else!"
Tao Ran took a sip of tea and smiled faintly, "It's not that he doesn't want to do it, it's that he's worried about his wife's money!"
"Money?" Fang Luxue frowned even more deeply. What did this have to do with money?
Suddenly, she remembered something and slammed her hand on the table, saying, "That bastard smashed the fruit plate and didn't pay for it!"
"More than that? I'm afraid he even ate and dashed." Tao Ran put the teacup back on the table, looking completely at ease, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
The facts had nothing to do with him; he was just there to save the day, and no one asked him to make Feng pay the bill.
"Damn it!" Fang Luxue slammed her hand on the table again, sounding somewhat agitated.
Wan Ziyan frowned slightly.
He hadn't seen Fang Luxue like this before; she still had the air of a young lady from a wealthy family.
Nowadays, she not only lacks the gentleness of a young lady from a respectable family, but also has a wild side and a somewhat impatient temper.
“Miss Fang, please don’t be impatient. Sit down and have some tea.” He poured a cup of water for Fang Luxue, pushed it in front of her, and said, “You are the magistrate’s daughter. You cannot embarrass him.”
Fang Luxue rolled her eyes without hesitation.
Isn't her father shameful enough?
He actually thought of having Wan Qiqi be his advisor!
But after thinking about it, she realized she couldn't lose her dignity, so she obediently sat down and quietly drank her tea.
Downstairs, things were relatively calm; everyone was eating and drinking, having a great time.
Zhu Chengye and Liu Ji were settling accounts for the broken expenses and how many customers they had lost because of the noise.
As he settled the accounts, Zhu Chengye couldn't help but frown.
"Manager Zhu, the two tables belonging to Young Master Feng, plus the broken items, amount to a full three taels of silver, which is no small sum..." Liu Ji looked up at Zhu Chengye and asked him how to handle it.
Although the Feng family was not as powerful as the Tao family in the town, they still had a relative who was an official in the prefecture, so they could get whatever they wanted.
Feng Gan was a notorious scoundrel, even worse than Tang Qiwen back then.
Today's loss is a small matter; the real concern is that Feng Gan will keep an eye on the restaurant in the future.
The owner of the business, who was far away in Baizhi Town, could only send his men to cause trouble.
But the Feng family lives in Hefeng Town, and they see each other every day. If they wanted to take over the restaurant, it would be an easy task.
Although we have the help of the county magistrate's daughter, Master Wan, and Headmaster Tao today, what about the future?
Zhu Chengye couldn't help but worry about the future of the restaurant, and he began to look for Wan Qiqi, wanting to discuss it with her.
Chen Yongnian walked around the restaurant but didn't see anyone he had met before. He even went to the kitchen to talk to Wan Qiqi about it.
The kitchen was too noisy, and Wan Qiqi didn't hear him at all. She told him to go out first, and that she would talk to him when she was done.
Chen Yongnian could only return to the front hall, stop Zhu Chengye, and ask, "Manager Zhu, has the restaurant hired any temporary staff today?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Zhu Chengye's eyes. "Never."
"Do we have any tall, thin waiters in our restaurant?" Chen Yongnian pressed.
Zhu Chengye thought for a moment, pointed to the crowd, and said, "Only him."
The restaurant's waiters were almost all young and thin, and they came to the restaurant to find help because they couldn't do heavy work.
Tall people are few and far between.
Chen Yongnian looked in the direction he was pointing, shook his head, and said, "It's not him!"
Although he only made eye contact with the man and didn't even see his facial features clearly, he was certain that his figure and eyes were not right.
