Chapter 57 (2/2)

As a matter of fact, even if the system didn’t release this mission, Yuan Zhou would have also struck back. Being used like a tool… Even tools have tempers! Furthermore, this situation originally did not concern him.

Immediately, Yuan Zhou’s words brought about a large uproar among customers in the restaurant.

“Is it true?” a middle-aged man stood up and asked in a solemn tone.

“No, it’s not like that. Sir, we could sue you for your defamation. Do you understand?” Liu Na took a deep breath and then said severely.

Now, this dispute had escalated beyond Liu Na’s control. Therefore, she sent a waitress standing beside her to inform General Manager Gou, at the same time trying to refute the claims.

“Of course, I am responsible for what I just said. I hope you could also be responsible for what your restaurant has proclaimed.” Yuan Zhou glanced at her.

“I believe everybody here was attracted due to the reputation of this restaurant. I too, am not an exception. By chance, I possess some knowledge of food and ingredients.” Yuan Zhou approached Liu Na and stood in front of her before starting to speak.

“On the table over there are the dishes I have ordered. I have tried both the abalone dishes. The chef really does possess decent culinary skills.” Yuan Zhou pointed at the dining table next to the window.

The crowd all turned their heads towards that direction. When they found the dishes were barely eaten, they began to trust Yuan Zhou’s words. The dishes here in this restaurant were not cheap but his dishes did not seem to have been touched at all.

“I forgot my phone just now thus came back to get it.” Yuan Zhou took out his phone and showed everybody.

“Then I came across that man and this Manager Liu arguing and accidentally told the truth. That’s how this situation occurred.” With only a few sentences, Yuan Zhou revealed the entire process.

This time, the man in a suit spoke up, “It’s true. My family just came back from Canada. Although the waitress has declared their abalones caught from the wild in Canada, the taste is obviously incorrect. So I started arguing with them. However, who would have expected that they wouldn’t admit it.”

“What’s the matter with your restaurant? Are you cheating us using fake abalones?”

“Exactly. Refund the money to us.”

“To think that I am a regular customer of yours. Are the abalones served before also fake?”

Immediately, all customers in the restaurant felt they had been cheated by the restaurant, hence started getting agitated.

At this time, the waitress that was sent away just now came back along with General Manager Gou. He was fairly young, around 30 years old or so. With a calm smile on his face, he came up to the crowd immediately and then said, “Calm down, everybody.”

After soothing the customers in the main hall until they calmed down, General Manager Gou smiled and asked Yuan Zhou and the man in the suit,

“Respected sirs, both of you suspect the abalones that we provide are not taken from the wild, but do you two have any evidence?”

In current times, every accusation required evidence. General Manager Gou couldn’t believe that someone was able to judge whether the abalones were wild or not with merely a taste. This was something hard for ordinary people to tell.

Seeing both of them remaining silent, the general manager then said gently, “I don’t think it’s right to suspect us groundlessly if the two sirs don’t have any evidence.”

After that, he ignored the two people and prepared to soothe other customers.

The man in the suit merely felt that the taste was a little different. He had only insisted on his opinion because of Liu Na’s arrogant manner implying he was in the wrong. He could neither present any evidence nor give a convincing reason. That was why he had kept silent over this debate.

On the other hand, Yuan Zhou opened his mouth, “…”
