Chapter 980 - Cheap Trick (2/2)

It was understandable that he was sick right after that.

There was no point asking why Wu Hai did not wake up when it first rained. There was a saying that a person pretending to sleep could not be woken. Similarly, Wu Hai could only be woken up by Yuan Zhou’s food.

As for the dropping temperature or other elements, Wu Hai was able to ignore everything when he was sleeping.

Looking at Wu Hai’s current posture on the sofa, it was obvious he wanted to go to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant badly. After all, he was lying on the sofa beside the window and the window was left open. It was clear he had struggled to reach the sofa from his bed.

The result was obvious. He could move no further than his sofa.

“Eat the medicine. Follow the dose recorded in the prescription,” said Yuan Zhou after nodding his head.

Without waiting for Wu Hai to reply, Yuan Zhou tossed the bag of medicines at Wu Hai. He then stood up and started boiling a pot of hot water for Wu Hai.

“Help me up. I can still eat,” Wu Hai did not even give the medicine a glance. He sat back up after some struggle.

Wu Hai had zero interest in the medicine. He gazed straight at Yuan Zhou and made his request.

“Sure, get up yourself. If you can’t get up, eat the medicine. I will give Zheng Jiawei a call,” Yuan Zhou said and left before Wu Hai could answer.

“Come back, I want to eat…” Wu Hai stretched his weak arm out and yelled with a voice as weak as a mosquito’s buzz.

Yuan Zhou did not bother turning around despite his keen ears.

“Only Zheng Jiawei and Wu Lin can control this fellow,” Yuan Zhou muttered as he decided to call the two immediately.

Then, he left. After all, he still needed to return to his restaurant. His presence was still needed even though Shen Min was there and there was actually nothing for him to do.

Right after he reached downstairs, he took his phone out and called Zheng Jiawei.

After the pub was closed, as usual, Yuan Zhou watched on as Shen Min waited for the bus. He only closed the restaurant’s door after Shen Min got onto the bus.

During noon the next day, Wu Hai was still nowhere to be seen. Several surprise guests had arrived at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. The “surprise” here carried with it a derogatory meaning. Chef Li was the leader of the alliance known as the Bad Review Alliance. Naturally, he would not let the matter drop after being rejected by Yuan Zhou. Thus, he thought of a cheap trick to deal with Yuan Zhou.

That was truly a cheap trick. The Bad Review Alliance hired a bunch of people that kept lingering around the restaurant doing nothing but speaking loudly.

“There is actually such a long line here?”

“I don’t understand why so many people like a restaurant that does not dare to bear the consequences of its action like this.”

“Perhaps this is the popular style nowadays?”

“Hoho.”

“The boss is a coward. I wonder if the food here is really that good. Maybe the customers that have a bad taste.”

Similar words were being repeated without stop. Just like that, these people camped around Taoxi Road. Since Taoxi Road itself was a public place, not even the Queuing Committee could do anything about those people.

More importantly, when the people from the Queuing Committee went to negotiate with them, those people would apologize and leave. But the next day, a new group of people would come and repeat the same words.

It would seem like Chef Li was asking for it. He had hired a large number of people to come and cause trouble.

Although most of the customers of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant were well-behaved, there were still some with bad tempers.

When those with bad temper heard those words, they charged at the troublemakers fearlessly. Obviously, they were victorious during the confrontation. After all, the customers of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant were very united. Nevertheless, a great mess had still been created during lunchtime because of that.
