Chapter 205: Blind and blind
"The boss is really powerful now. He even orders me around for my birthday. He insists that I take a car to the main city. Doesn't he know to hold a banquet in Fuzhou?" Grandpa Su muttered softly while sitting in the passenger seat and looking at the scenery of the foggy city outside the window.

Of course, this so-called low voice was only what Mr. Su thought, and everyone else in the car could hear it clearly.

Especially Su Zhixin, who was driving, had his mouth twitching. When they set out before, the old man looked very happy, saying that he had not been to the Fog City for a long time and he didn't know what it has become like now.

But we were almost at Jiangbeizui and the weather suddenly changed from sunny to cloudy. I started complaining to my eldest brother.

"Dad, you know that my eldest brother and the others are busy now. Besides, I wanted to take this opportunity to let you and mom come to the Fog City to play for a while." Su Zhixin defended himself in a low voice in response to Grandpa Su's muttering.

"Tsk, what's so fun about this big city? It's not as comfortable as living in my countryside. Coming here will delay my farm work!" Although Grandpa Su said this, the slightly raised corners of his mouth betrayed his thoughts.

Of course, Su Zhixin, who was driving the car, naturally did not notice this subtle change.

Hearing this, Su Zhixin smacked his lips and wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. He could only pretend nothing had happened and concentrate on driving.

Soon they arrived at their destination - Jiangbeizui Financial City.

"We're here. This is the place Xiaochen mentioned!" Su Zhixin said after finding an empty parking space on the dam below the building and parking his car.

"This place looks quite luxurious. It must cost a lot of money to eat here!" said Grandpa Su, looking at the tall buildings in front of him.

"Hehe~ Now that our family is making money, big brother doesn't need that. Dad, let's go up first. It's getting late!" Su Zhixin was also a little impatient. Although his family was doing better now, it was his first time to come to such a place and he was full of curiosity.

Hearing this, Mr. Su nodded, gave Su Zhixin a look, and signaled him to lead the way.

It was around four o'clock in the afternoon and there were not many people coming in and out. After entering the lobby, a direct elevator to the restaurant came down.

A group of five people walked in directly. Su Zhixin looked around and saw that there was no one there, so he pressed the door closing button. When the elevator door was just one-third closed, he heard a slightly hurried voice from outside: "Wait a minute, there's someone else!"

Hearing this, Su Zhixin pressed the door open button before the elevator closed, and saw three women in gorgeous clothes carrying brand-name bags walked in.

When the leading woman saw what Su Zhixin and the others were wearing, her brows immediately furrowed, and she placed her left hand on the tip of her nose, muttering to the people around her, "Today is such bad luck, I met some country bumpkins as soon as I went out."

You have to know that the elevator is so small that unless you speak in someone's ear, the people next to you will definitely hear it. What's more, the leading lady did not lower her voice, so the Su family and others heard it clearly.

"That's right, I don't know which county this country bumpkin came from. Why doesn't he stay in the countryside? He has to run to the big city. Aren't you afraid of polluting the air here?"

"You guys." Su Zhixin was about to retort when he was hit on the arm.

When he turned his head to the side, he saw that it was Mr. Su who extended his hand. The old man shook his head slightly, signaling Su Zhixin not to bother with these people.

Seeing this, Su Zhixin had no choice but to give up. He took a deep breath, glanced at the three women, then turned his head to look at the numbers jumping on the elevator panel.

I don’t know if it was because the Su family ignored her that made the woman who was speaking unhappy, her voice rose several decibels.

"Xiaomei, this restaurant is known as the best Huaiyang restaurant in Fog City. You even applied for a membership card. How come anyone can come here to eat? This restaurant is too low-class!"

The woman named Xiaomei immediately agreed, "Sister Qin, I will report this issue to the lobby manager of their store later. If anyone can come, then this card doesn't matter."

"Well~ If we really receive him, it will lower our status!" Sister Qin nodded in agreement.

The two of them spoke in unison and were very unhappy. The remaining lady looked at Su Zhixin, whose face was red and angry, and after thinking for a while, she decided not to say any words of dissuasion. After all, Sister Qin's family background was more powerful than hers.

You can only choose to be a quiet spectator, neither participating nor agreeing, just watching a show.

However, she still looked up to Su Zhixin and his group. If it were anyone else, there would have been a quarrel. Their Qi-cultivation skills showed that these people were not as unsophisticated as they looked, but their clothes and appearance and family backgrounds were not much better.

If Su Zhixin knew what this woman was thinking, he would have to take out his cell phone and let her see his seven-digit balance.

Although the Su family is now wealthy, there has not been much change in their clothing. After all, they often stay in hot pot restaurants, and if the clothes they wear that cost thousands of dollars are stained with some difficult-to-wash oil stains, they will cry to death.

"Ding~ Welcome to the Liyu Huaiyang Restaurant!" The elevator quickly arrived at the 38th floor and considerately broadcast a welcome prompt.

The leading lady walked out of the elevator and looked at everyone with some contempt, muttering, "You old-fashioned people still want to eat here? Dream on."

Seeing the three people walk into the restaurant, Su Zhixin looked at Old Man Su and said, "Dad, why did you stop me just now? It's not like you didn't hear what that shrew said."

Although their attire today is indeed a bit plain, this is not something that should be laughed at. This is clearly a sign of looking down on the poor.

Old Master Su raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Su Zhixin. Su Zhixin, who was excited just now, instantly calmed down.

"Let them talk if they want to. You're not going to bite a dog back if it bites you!"

"What's more, today is your eldest brother's birthday. If you really start a fight, even if you have a good reason, you will probably have to go to the police station."

"Besides," Mr. Su looked in the direction where the three men left and said, "Look at the way they are dressed, they are not simple at all. It will be another mess for your eldest brother."

Su Zhixin thought about it and it was just as the old man said. Although he was still a little angry, he could only comfort himself by not arguing with the dog.

When Su Zhixin and his group walked into the restaurant, they found that the three women were now standing at the front desk chatting with a well-dressed man.

Of course, it was the man who looked attentively and said flattering words. The three women nodded in response from time to time. When they saw Su Zhixin and his group, the leader, Sister Qin, showed a sneer on her face.

He said a few words to the man next to him and pointed at Su Zhixin and others. It was unknown what he was planning.

The next second, the well-dressed man was seen walking towards Su Zhixin and others with a professional smile.

"Hello, I'm the lobby manager of the Liyu Huaiyang Restaurant. May I ask how many of you are here to dine?"

Hearing this, Su Zhixin's previously suppressed anger instantly surged up in his heart. He looked at the lobby manager in front of him and said unhappily, "Please, aren't we here to have a meal or to see you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the lobby manager's face instantly turned red, and the fake smile on his face froze. He glanced at the three ladies behind him and decided to stop pretending.

The smile on his face disappeared, and he said expressionlessly: "Sorry, the restaurant is fully booked today. If you want to eat, you are welcome to come back tomorrow!"

Su Zhixin had not expected that this face-changing skill was so common that a restaurant lobby manager could master it to perfection.

However, he did not get angry at what the lobby manager said. Instead, he looked at him with a teasing look on his face and said, "It's fully booked. What a coincidence! We had already booked it!"

Not only the lobby manager but also the three women behind him were stunned when they heard this. They never thought that they would make a reservation in advance.

As one of the top Huaiyang restaurants in the Fog City, the consumption is really cheap, with the average price per person being basically four digits. Those who can come here are all wealthy people. A meal for several people will cost tens of thousands, and if you eat some special dishes, it will cost tens of thousands.

However, it was the first time that the lobby manager saw people like Su Zhixin and his companions who were dressed so simply coming here to eat.

The lobby manager also looked uncertain at this time. If these were really reserved customers, he certainly could not drive them away. But if he did not drive them away, the VIP guests behind would definitely be unhappy, and one of them was their top VIP customer.

For a moment, the lobby manager was also in a dilemma.

At this time, the restaurant manager also heard the noise at the front desk. Thinking something had happened, he hurried out of the office.

Seeing the three ladies standing at the front desk, he hurriedly greeted them: "Oh, I was wondering why I heard a magpie calling when I woke up this morning. I didn't expect that Sister Qin, Sister Xiaomei and Sister Lily would visit our store today." "Why are you still standing here? Manager Yang is really ignorant. Please come in!" The manager was about to invite them into the private room, but he found that the three had no intention of leaving.

The manager also noticed something was wrong at the scene. Why were there five customers standing at the door and his supervisor seemed to be stopping them?

Just when he was puzzled and ready to ask the lobby manager what was going on, Sister Qin looked at him and said, "Manager Li, what's wrong with your restaurant? How come all kinds of people can come here?"

"I'm making this clear today. If you let them come in for dinner, we'll just leave."

Manager Li frowned instantly when he heard this. You know, when you open a business, all the customers will come to your store. How can you possibly chase them away?

He quickly called the lobby manager aside and asked what was going on. When he heard that those people had reserved seats, he was moved.

You have to know that there are only three people who have booked the private room tonight, two of whom are old customers and I know them well. As for the last one, thinking of yesterday's scene, Manager Li shuddered.

"I can't be that unlucky!" Manager Li suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

He put on a smiling face and went to greet Su Zhixin and the others. Seeing Mr. Su in the crowd, he smiled and greeted him, "Mr. Su, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Excuse me, which room did you reserve?"

Although Mr. Su was a farmer who worked hard, he had experienced a lot of hardships. Naturally, he noticed the change in Manager Li's expression.

"Third brother, what was the name of the private room that Xiaochen booked?" Old Master Su asked in a puzzled tone.

Although Su Zhixin didn't see what the old man was doing, he still said, "The two private rooms we booked are called Purple Air from the East!"

When Manager Li heard the words "Purple Air Coming from the East", he felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat. If someone lifted up his clothes, they would find that his entire back was covered with cold sweat.

Fortunately, I came out to see what was going on. Otherwise, if this matter had gotten out of hand, I would have been finished.

Trying hard to calm the anxiety in his heart, he became more attentive, bent over and looked at Mr. Su and said, "I guess this must be Mr. Su. The private room is ready. Please come in!"

Having said that, Manager Li prepared to lead the way himself and send these people to the private room.

When Su Chen and Yin Zheng were chatting yesterday, he was standing next to them and heard it clearly. Although it was Mr. Su's father's birthday, it was also a family dinner and those who attended were originally from the Su family.

Su Zhixin originally thought that he would argue with Manager Li for a while, but why did he just bow his head and admit defeat after just two sentences?

He couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think too much about it and just followed the old man to the private room to ask what was going on.

But after taking two steps, a stern voice rang out, "Manager Li, what do you mean by this?"

The noble lady named Xiaomei blocked Manager Li's way, and even Sister Qin frowned.

"Sister Xiaomei, I'll explain this to you later, okay? I'll send these VIPs to the private room first." Manager Li said with a pleading tone.

Anyone with a bit of common sense would realize at this point that things are not simple, but there are some people who go out without using their brains.

"Do you think what we just said was bullshit? If they come in to eat, we will leave. Then we will definitely promote your restaurant for free in the circle!"

After these words were spoken, Manager Li, who had been a little humble at first, stood up straight. For this kind of question with two choices, if he chose the wrong answer even though he knew the answer, then he really would have no chance of continuing in this job.

"Manager Yang, since these ladies do not plan to dine with us, please just leave!" Manager Li turned to the lobby manager and gave the order.

After hearing this, Sister Qin and the other two were stunned. They had never expected this result.

Su Zhixin felt so happy at this moment, and looked at Sister Qin and the others with a smug smile on his face.

Their eyes just happened to meet. Sister Qin saw the smug look on Su Zhixin's face, as if he was mocking her, and kicked the stool in front of the front desk away in anger.

"Li Ming, I'm telling you, forget about opening your store in Fog City!" Sister Qin said, pointing at Manager Li's nose.

"Oh~ Really? I want to see who is so arrogant." A deep voice came from outside the store.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and when they saw who was coming, Sister Qin and the other two, as well as Manager Li, were all trembling all over. Only Su Zhixin and the others looked at the person curiously.

A group of seven or eight people walked in, led by Yin Zheng's father Yin Shan.

As a well-known figure in the business community of Fog City, how could Sister Qin and others not know him.

"President Yin!" Sister Qin and the other two nervously walked up to Yin's father and called out respectfully.

Unfortunately, Father Yin didn't even look at them and walked straight towards Grandpa Su.

When he came in just now, Yin Zheng, who was following behind him, recognized Su Zhixin with his sharp eyes and naturally guessed who the old man in the crowd was.

He immediately told the situation to Yin's father, which led to the scene of Yin's father scolding him just now.

"Hello, Mr. Su, welcome to the Foggy City!" Father Yin said warmly, shaking Mr. Su's hand.

At this time, Mr. Su also recognized who this enthusiastic middle-aged man was. After all, as a legendary figure in the Fog City, he had also seen this man's style when he was young on TV.

"Hello, hello!" said Mr. Su, pretending to be calm.

"Old man, let's go to the private room and talk. It's not a good idea to stand here."

Manager Li at the side immediately led the way and took the group of ten or so people towards the private room.

Watching the people leaving, Sister Qin and Sister Xiaomei seemed to have lost all their strength. They sat down on the ground, muttering, "How is this possible? They are just a few country bumpkins. Why is President Yin so enthusiastic? There must be something wrong!"

"Yes, this must be a mistake!"

These words seemed to be encouraging themselves, but they had to face reality after all.

The only good one among the three was Lily, who had been silent the whole time. She was also regretting in her heart why she didn't speak up to dissuade him in the elevator. She might even cling to Chairman Yin's thigh.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world.

At this time, there was another person who was feeling lucky. That was the lobby manager who was ready to flatter. Fortunately, he hesitated in the end, otherwise the consequences would be...
Manager Yang couldn't help but shudder when he thought of this.

Seeing that the two people still slumped on the ground seemed to affect the image of their store, his eyes moved slightly and he said, "Sister Qin, you should get up quickly. There is no point in sitting here and being depressed. Let's go back and think about how to make up for it."

After hearing this, the two men came to their senses and quickly got up from the ground, knowing that what Manager Yang said made sense.

After leaving the restaurant, they both took out their cell phones and called their husbands.

After briefly explaining what had happened, the response I got was a curse, "You are an idiot who can't do anything good but always makes things worse." Before hanging up the phone, he told them to go home immediately.

He came in with such a proud and arrogant look on his face, and no one expected that he would leave in such a miserable state.
