Chapter 742 Confrontation with Zhu Chengye
In the end, Tao Ran also drank too much!
Only Wan Qiqi sat alone in the private room, holding a wine glass and sipping her drink.
She wanted to get drunk like everyone else.
But she knew that someone needed to stay alert in case of an emergency.
After finishing the last glass of wine in her hand, Wan Qiqi opened the door to the private room and said to Erpang outside the door, "Arrange a carriage to send Qiyang and Xiao Fan back. Have someone help move Tao Shanzhang and Yongnian to the bed."
"Okay!" Erpang replied, then couldn't help but ask, "A bed?"
"One bed is not enough to occupy a private room in the restaurant. The bill for this private room will be charged to my name!"
After Wan Qiqi finished speaking, she walked downstairs.
Erpang was a little depressed.
It's clearly our own restaurant, and Chen Yongnian is one of our own people, so why do we need to keep accounts when we're resting on our own turf?
He didn't understand, but he still did as Wan Qiqi said.
After seeing Qi Yang and Xiao Fan off and settling Tao Ran and Chen Yongnian in, he finally went downstairs.
"Hey, Brother Youcai, do me a favor. I need to put the bill on that private room on the third floor!" Erpang said with a smile.
Zhu Youcai opened the accounts and said, "I remember the meals were already on the tab, what else is on the tab?"
"Someone is resting inside. Sister Qi said it's on credit, so this private room is temporarily closed to the public today," Erpang explained, craning his neck to look at the ledger.
You won't believe it until you see it, and what you find will shock you.
He was suddenly startled, "Wow! Why did Sister Qi hang so many?"
Zhu Youcai's expression was grave as he explained, "The favors and arrangements made to various parties could have been recorded in the restaurant's accounts, but she insisted on having them all put in her own account..."
"Oh, I see!" Erpang frowned, feeling that if things continued like this, Wan Qiqi wouldn't be able to earn much money.
But he didn't tell Zhu Youcai about his worries.
After finishing what Wan Qiqi had instructed, I immediately got to work.
Although there were many guests today, as usual, the busiest time was during mealtimes.
After the mealtime, everyone can relax a bit more.
The idle fellow quietly pulled Erpang aside, looking all mysterious.
"Brother Erpang, take a break!" the waiter said, handing over some snacks with a fawning expression.
Seeing their reaction, Erpang knew that these people wanted to gather information.
He stared at the snacks and said coldly, "What do you want?"
"Nothing much, just want to chat with Brother Erpang!"
"Yes! We've been busy for so long, sitting down and resting for a while won't be a problem for the boss!"
Hearing this, Erpang still didn't stop snacking and asked, "What do you guys want to talk about?"
"It's nothing! Aren't Brother Erpang and Boss Er on good terms? We just wanted to ask why Boss Er hasn't been coming to the restaurant lately?" the waiter asked.
Erpang's eyes darted around as he observed the expressions on the faces of his men, noticing their curiosity.
He said slowly, "This is the owner's own business. We employees don't need to pry into it so much, do we?"
"Yes! That's true, but I heard that the second master has been having an unusually high number of visitors lately, it's like... it's like..."
The man hesitated for a long time before finishing his sentence, afraid of getting himself into trouble.
Erpang's face gradually darkened as the waiter spoke. "You people, instead of doing your jobs properly, you spread rumors about us in the restaurant. Do you want to quit?"
His rebuke made the men's faces change drastically, and they dared not ask any more questions, hurriedly dispersing.
After a while, Erpang's expression finally calmed down.
Turning around, he found Zhu Chengye standing behind him at some point.
He grinned, adopting a respectful demeanor, and called out, "Boss! I just finished reprimanding the men for talking nonsense, and now I'm off to get busy!"
After Erpang finished speaking, he prepared to walk around Zhu Chengye and leave.
"Wait a moment!"
Zhu Chengye called out to Erpang, walked up to him, and hesitated for a moment.
He looked at Erpang and asked, "Erpang, besides Wu Gousheng, you're the one who's been with Qiqi the longest. What do you think Qiqi's recent intentions are?"
Erpang's eyes drooped slightly, revealing no emotion. "Boss, speaking of which, you've been working with Sister Qi the longest. Don't you know that?"
"I could understand it before, but now I can understand it less and less!"
Zhu Chengye sighed, "First he transferred Chen Sanyuan away, then Li Wei, and then he sent Feng Qing to help out at Kelaiju. Do you think she's planning to break away from me?"
His words startled Erpang, who looked at Zhu Chengye in disbelief.
I've never heard Sister Qi mention anything like this before, so why would Zhu Chengye think in this direction?
"Brother Zhu, shouldn't you just ask me directly, since I know the answer to this? Why make things difficult for others?"
Wan Qiqi appeared out of nowhere, startling Zhu Chengye.
Wan Qiqi remained expressionless, patted Erpang on the shoulder, and said, "Go ahead and get busy!"
Erpang nodded and quickly left.
Zhu Chengye looked at all of this, chuckled twice, his face slightly pale, "As expected, your people still listen to you!"
"Do people from Xinglong Restaurant need to distinguish between yours and mine?" Wan Qiqi asked, turning her head to the side.
Her sharp gaze fell on Zhu Chengye's face, and she saw distrust in his eyes.
"Let's talk upstairs!"
Wan Qiqi didn't want the suspicions in the restaurant to deepen.
Zhu Chengye didn't want the restaurant to fall into disarray, so he followed Wan Qiqi upstairs.
"Brother Zhu, do you believe the rumors outside?" Wan Qiqi stopped at the study door and turned to stare at Zhu Chengye.
Zhu Chengye lowered his eyes and did not answer Wan Qiqi's question.
"I understand!" Wan Qiqi pushed open the study door, walked in, and sat down at the coffee table.
She said calmly, "Brother Zhu, I believe that with your business acumen, you should know that partnering with other businesses can actually bring better benefits to the restaurant."
