C144 "If you donst believe, you wonst believe, you wonst believe" (1/2)

This car was parked horizontally in front of the hotel, while the others were parked at the side. The cars in the front and back were not as long as the Bentley; every time I went in and out of the hotel, the guard on the other side of the door would kneel down and the manager would come out next time …

Everyone was a snob. The rich Xu father and son was one, as were the ordinary hotel attendants. The social culture of the ancient sages, such as ”having money and trust, being rich and compassionate”, had not been realized even after hundreds of years.

Xu Dayue is honest, he did everything I told him on the phone, so I didn't have anything to be polite with him; he deserved to eat and drink, and after getting off the car, he gave the remaining half bottle of good wine to the driver, which almost moved the driver to tears. If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't drink while driving, he would have immediately held the bottle up to have a taste.

”This old fox Xu is usually pretty good to his drivers, he doesn't even want to give him a bottle of good wine.” I muttered under my breath and turned to walk back inside.

Just as he walked a few steps, he heard the voice of the driver filled with emotion, ”Director Jiang is truly a straightforward person, a bottle of red wine with 18 bends, you didn't even drink a bit and gave it to me!”

”Aiyo!” Director Jiang, how did you fall? The driver, seeing that I had lost my balance, helped me to my feet.

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at the red wine that he was holding in his arms with reluctance. ”I'm fine! I'm fine!” I endured the pain and replied.

I kept going, but my heart felt like it was dripping blood. Fuck, one hundred and eighty thousand red wine? [I earned ten thousand just by drinking a little bit more. How come I was so cheap that I gave it away so casually?] If he had known, he would have hidden it and brought it back.

I had come to Bamboo Forest Pavilion once before at noon, and the queue was long. This time, it was night time, the line was twisted and winding, with nine twists and turns. There were those who brought their families, those who were young, and those who could come here to eat, but also those who had to line up, were all middle class people who were weaker than others.

One by one, they were all dressed brilliantly as they waited while chatting among themselves.

As soon as I entered, I did not wait in line, but went straight to the door and prepared to go in. It was not that I did not have the qualifications to wait in line, but rather I had booked a private room where people did not have to wait in line for me.

I walked past a long line, and everyone was in line. When they saw that I didn't care about the line and headed straight for the door of the restaurant, almost everyone's gaze followed my steps and sized me up one by one. Some of them were in high spirits and started to discuss about me.

”Who is this person, cut in line?”

”God knows, looking at how poor he looks, can he cut in line here?” Who does he think he is, he's probably crazy. ”

”I've been waiting for almost an hour. The manager in charge of this restaurant is also the son of my second uncle, but he didn't even open the back door for me.” Some of the people recognized the manager as their relative, while others looked at him with envious eyes. They were probably thinking that although they had to line up, a relative could at least give them a discount.

Ignoring their chatter, I made my way to the front door of the restaurant and was about to enter when a waiter stopped me at the door. I glanced at him, but he wasn't the same person as before. He looked me up and down, but didn't ask if I had a private room. He looked down on me and replied with an ice-cold tone:

”Sir, I'm sorry, the dining room is at its peak right now. If you want to eat, you have to queue up. Only those who have called will be able to sit in the empty seats.”

Laughter followed the waiter's words; the people in line looked at me with the same scornful expression as the waiter, like a group of dignitaries taunting a peasant who had just entered the city.

I calmed myself and calmly replied, ”I'm going in. There's someone in the room that I've made an appointment with.”

”Room?” The waiter gave a weird ”yes” and sized me up again as if he didn't like it. He frowned and said, ”I'll tell you politely, don't make trouble. With so many people lining up, is there any point in lying to me? If you have someone in the room, I'll be the manager. Sir, if you make trouble without reason, I'll call the security. ”

Damn, why do the waiters in this restaurant always look at other people's clothes? Many high-end places, especially the clothes sales clerk, like him, I really hate this kind of people.

”No eyes?” Do you still want to do this job anymore?! ” At this moment, a berating sound came from the restaurant. I raised my head and saw the Manager Jiang, whom I had met before, hurrying over as he scolded the waiter.

The waiter's face immediately stiffened. He lowered his head and anxiously shouted, ”Manager!”

”What is going on? They're all trash that raise you guys with your eyes closed. I don't know how much longer this manager can go on for.” Manager Jiang raised his hand and pointed at me, then loudly shouted at the waiter: ”Open your eyes and look carefully, this is Director Jiang! The President of the China Chamber of Commerce, Liu Qingfeng, and the Dashan Group, Chairman of the Dashan Group, were inviting him to a feast! If you don't let him in, will you be able to take responsibility?! ”

When the surrounding people heard what the Manager Jiang said, they sucked in a breath of cold air. The look in their eyes didn't have the contempt and disdain from a few seconds ago.

The waiter even lifted his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead. With a bitter face, he looked me in the eye and trembled as he softly said, ”Jiang, Director Jiang. Right, sorry, I failed to recognize you. Even more so, we do not know that you are an esteemed guest of the President Liu, so please do not bother with this lowly one, don't, don't lower yourself to the same level as me. ”
