The atmosphere at Shen Nanâs birthday party had completely changed upon Chen Hao's arrival.
Wang Guifangâs mood, especially, had become worse. It was fair to say all her menopausal syndromes in the next thirty years had accumulated and was about to explode at this moment.
It was blatantly clear to everyone that her daughter, Shen Nan, did not share a platonic relationship with this young man. As someone with experience, even Wang Guifang could tell that her daughter seemed to take a liking to this guy, and treated Wang Peng coldly.
If this continued to go on, they would be in trouble if they offended Young Master Wang.
As a mother, Wang Guifang had to think of a way out as she couldn't possibly bear looking at her daughter who walked deeper into the abyss.
Hence, during the meal, Wang Guifang didnât not even look at Chen Hao for a bit.
âThe Buddhaâs Temptation is here!â
At this moment, the food had finally arrived.
The waiter also served everyone the main dish of the birthday party today.
Right after that, the manager walked into the compartment.
The manager was a middle-aged, plump man. In order to show respect to Young Master Wang, he decided to serve the dish onto everyoneâs plates personally while giving a detailed explanation.
This, alone, was a great honor to the Shen Family, so Wang Guifang felt very proud about it Chen Hao had tried a lot of hotels in Jin Ling. In the past, he heard that the Buddhaâs Temptation in Long Teng Hotel was very well known, but he had never tried it.
Hence, this was his first time trying the dish.
âMister, do you know the dish, Buddhaâs Temptation?â
As Chen Hao prepared to taste the food, the manager exchanged glances with Wang Peng before interrupting Chen Hao coldly.
âNot really!â Chen Hao shook his head.
âHmph! Itâs so obvious that youâre from the countryside, am I right? Is this your first time here at our hotel?â the manager said with a hint of sarcasm.
Quite a few people, including a few girls, put down their chopsticks involuntarily as it was obvious that the manager is especially picking on Chen Hao.
In the past, no hotel managers would never speak to their customers in this tone.
âWhat do you mean? Is it an offence to be here for the first time?â
Sensing the underlying meaning behind his words, Chen Hao raised his head and looked at him.
âThe Buddhaâs Temptation is usually reserved for our precious, top-notch customers. For people like you, who obviously havenât seen much of the world, eating this dish is a waste. Someone, come and take it away!â the manager said coolly, with hands behind his back.
âWho are you to do so?â
On another hand, a furious expression flitted across Shen Nanâs face. Not only did this manager look down on Chen Hao, he didnât even care about him at all.
However, how would Shen Nan know that everything was a special arrangement of Wang Peng?
The manager was fully aware that Wang Peng, as Young Master Wang, was an important person here.
If he managed to please Young Master Wang, his future career would be smooth sailing.
On the contrary, if he insulted Chen Hao, he would have the opportunity to impress Young Master Wang. How would the manager let this chance slip?
Looking at the scene in front of him, Wang Peng merely laughed frostily.
âWait!â
Chen Hao put his chopsticks down and looked at the manager sarcastically.
âYouâre running a business here, you know. Itâs important to not go overboard when youâre dealing with everythingâthis is one of the foundations for your business to stand strong. The responsibility of every businessman is to treat every single customer respectfully. Donât you think that this is too much, Mr.
Manager?â Chen Hao asked as he let out a cold chuckle.
âHmph! You brat, do I need your lecture? Look at yourself, looking so broke and penniless. Everyone here is worthy of eating the food at our hotel but not you! You should be grateful that I didnât chase you out of here because of Young Master Wang and Miss Shen! Yet you have the audacity to give me a lecture? Why donât you look at yourself in the mirror?â the manager scolded with a cold look.
The speech that he gave was very adequate, and it was everything that Young Master Wang wanted to hear.
Young brat, you want to mess around with me? What do you have that can fight against me?
âSecurity, whereâs the security? Chase this ignorant man out of our hotel, and put up a sign at the entrance which says âThis man and dogs are not allowed in our hotelâ!â the manager shouted toward the outside.
In a short while, the four or five security guards, who seemed to be well prepared, rushed into the room.
It was obvious that everything was all planned.
âInitially, I wanted to give you one more chance but now, you decide to discard it yourself!â Chen Hao looked at the manager and smiled stonily.
âChen Hao, donât attack him!â
Shen Nan, however, was scared stiff.
She knew that Wang Peng must be behind this, asking the manager to insult Chen Hao deliberately.
If Chen Hao hit the manager, Wang Peng definitely had ways to punish him.
Hence, Shen Nan wanted to stop Chen Hao from doing that.
âAttack? Ha-ha! I havenât stooped that low to fight with this scoundrel. In the beginning, he does deserve a few slaps. But now, heâs not worth it!â Chen Hao laughed icily.
âYou brat, I think you are tired of living. Security, throw him out this instant!â The manager snorted and turned to Wang Guifang. âMrs. Shen, Mr. Shen, Iâm sorry for being rude today. But I just couldnât stand such a rough guy sitting on the same table as you. Please forgive me!â
Wang Guifang immediately stood and smiled at him. âOh, donât be sorry! You have the liberty to do anything you want. As for someone who doesnât have any business here, we donât care about him either!â
Wang Guifang shot a glance at Chen Hao coldly.
Chen Hao took his phone out and sent a message as the security guards came to take him away.
Chen Hao said, âYou donât have to rush. Wait for a while, your boss, the senior manager should be here shortly.
âManager Zhang is coming here? Damn, do you know the status of Manager Zhang? Do you think that just a message from you will ask Manager Zhang to come here? Arenât you writing a complaint? Ha-ha!
Let me tell youâall the complaints messages will ultimately reach me too! You brat, this is your turn to be shocked!â the manager laughed, along with a few security guards.
âWho do you think you are?â
After taking a bite of the food, Wang Guifang rolled her eyes and poured a glass of water on the floor, right on Chen Haoâs feet, to show her displeasure.
Just when the manager was about to remind the security to take Chen Hao out, his phone suddenly rang.
The manager let out a small snort and took his phone out. Then, he immediately froze.
âManager Zhang?â he asked, shocked.
âItâs really him?â Wang Peng asked, shaking his head.
At this moment, Wang Peng flipped his watch over and smiled dryly.
He thought, this brat is something! A complaint message from him can reach Manager Zhang!
Long Teng International Hotel was a big family business based in Jin Ling. They used the business model of a nationwide franchise model.
However, the pathway for complaints to reach the management level couldnât be reached by simply anyone.
Just as the manager said, all complaints would have to go through him first.
This was also the reason why he could afford to do anything he wanted so arrogantly.
What could a poor brat do?
However, Manager Zhang was the manager in the main office in Jin Ling, hence the hotel manager didnât dare to neglect him.
After nodding to Wang Peng, he immediately picked up the phone.
âYes, I know! What? I-I understand!â
He only said three sentences, but his face went ashen as beads of sweat broke out from his forehead.
It was obvious that he was nervous.
Wang Peng asked, âMr. Zhang knows my father, but is it true that he scolded you because of a brat like him? Or, do you want me to ask my dad to give Mr. Zhang a call?â
âOh, how could this brat possibly be the reason? I donât know what happened at the main office, but everyone there is coming here. Manager Zhang said that everyone is gathering at Long Teng Hotel soon, even the Chairman who was recuperating in the hospital! Oh god! Weâve never had such a big scale operation! I have to prepare for their inspection!â the hotel manager said agitatedly.
