Chapter 56 (2/2)

Negative feedback.

Twenty minutes later, Yuan Zhou stood up and went to the front desk to pay the bill.

After 5 minutes, Yuan Zhou returned to the entrance. He looked at the exquisitely decorated sign and couldn’t help shaking his head.

These successive actions on his seemingly rigid face gave off a cool atmosphere. However, the impression didn’t even last for three minutes.

“Wait. I seem to have forgotten something?” Yuan Zhou suddenly stood still, muttering to himself.

“Your phone sucks. Speak louder, otherwise I won’t be able to hear you clearly.” At that moment, a passerby walked passed him while speaking on his phone.

“Oh, yes. My phone.” Yuan Zhou stroked his chin. Then he prepared to return to the restaurant to retrieve his newly-bought cellphone.

Although Yuan Zhou had left, his table had yet not to be cleared as the dishes on his table had barely been touched. This was an almost impossible occurrence in the restaurant. Apart from the scrumptious taste, no one in their right mind would waste the Steamed Fresh Abalones dish worth ￥1998. Furthermore, the cellphone of the customer was still lying on the table.

On the opposite of Yuan Zhou’s table was a family of three. They appeared to be of the middle class. The man was dressed in a formal suit while the woman carried an LV handbag on her shoulder. The little girl seated beside them was also dressed cutely.

On their table were abalone dishes ordered by the three people. The strange thing was, only the formally dressed man ate one of them, leaving the rest untouched. At that moment, the man called a waitress over. “Miss, please call your manager over.”

The waitress happened to be the one with a clear and melodious voice. She looked at the dishes on the table with puzzlement. After finding nothing wrong, she said, “Sir, if you have any problems, I can also be of assistance.”

“Yong girl, I’m afraid you can’t. I would rather directly talk to your manager on duty.” the formally dressed man said to the waitress gently while smiling at her.

“Junhua, forget about it, ok?” the pretty woman beside him said softly while patting the man’s arm.

“Don’t worry. Let me handle this issue. They are actually lying by doing such things.” the man insisted.

When she saw his husband insist like that, the pretty woman spoke no more. As the waitress beside them didn’t actually know what had happened, she continued to ask, “Sir, is the taste of our dishes not to your liking?”

“It is indeed some problem with the dishes, but it isn’t because of the taste. Go and let your manager come.” the man said in a firmer tone this time, with some discontent as well.

Realizing she would not be able to handle this, the waitress with the melodious voice could only reply, “Please wait a moment. I’ll go call our manager on duty over.”

Then she went immediately to the manager’s office with a sense of unease.

Soon, the manager on duty came up towards them. She was approximately 30 years old, dressed in a black business suit with her hair tied in a bun and had a stern expression

When she approached the man, she asked softly with a gentle smile, “Sir, what can I do for you?”

“Manager,” The man saw the name Liu Na shown on her badge. “Manager Liu, I just want to ask, where are the abalones today from?”

“Sir, the abalones we provide today come from the Pacific Ocean along the coast of Canada. They are all top-grade wild abalones.” Manager Liu calmly explained in detail.

“Huh, really? It’s wild. Are you sure?” Looking at Liu Na sharply, the man questioned her.

“Yes, definitely from the wild. Please be at ease, sir.” Liu Na firmly responded

The two of them exchanged words, then they started arguing in low voices, neither one giving way to the other. It was then when Yuan Zhou returned and passed by them. Liu Na had been irritated by the man’s stubbornness, thus she said directly, “The abalones we provide today are definitely wild abalones from Canada.”

At that moment, Yuan Zhou happened to hear Liu Na’s word. He then whispered disapprovingly, “Tastes of sand. Obviously, they are cultivated.”

He that talks much errs much. This is an eternally immutable truth.
