C48 (1/2)

It was quiet in the lobby. Whether it was the customers watching from the sidelines or the boss who was trying to recruit talent, they were all waiting for Manager Shi's answer.

If he answered well, he would get extra points. If it was not good, a manager who made the restaurant lose face would also face the danger of being fired.

Faced with the questioning, Manager Shi revealed a smile and said, ”That's right. This person is indeed our restaurant's waiter. However, he already took leave to go home yesterday. Everyone knows this. He was wearing the uniform of our restaurant, but it's possible he didn't change it. ”

”Actually, sir, I really do not know why you brought him here. No matter what you say, it is just one side of your story.”

Zhou Tian looked at Manager Shi and said: ”Manager Shi, do you mind if I ask you something?”

Manager Shi felt a little uneasy, but he could only nod his head.

”I wonder if Manager Shi knows Ma Liu?”

Oh no, did Little Zheng say everything? Damn you! He couldn't do anything good with the money! Manager Shi was no longer calm, but still said: ”Ma Liu is a very common name. My nephew is also called Ma Liu. May I ask what is the use of mentioning this name?”

”I'm just asking. Manager Shi, don't be too nervous.” Zhou Tian smiled and walked over to Little Zheng. He patted his shoulder and said: ”Now, let's let Manager Shi listen to our one-sided speech.”

Little Zheng had been keeping his head down ever since he arrived, not saying a word. However, when Zhou Tian spoke, he did not dare disobey. As long as he thought of the scene where Zhou Tian had grabbed him, his legs would go numb.

Originally, after he had tricked Li Yong and the others, he had rushed back to his own home. However, before he could even change his clothes, Zhou Tian had arrived outside his room. With a light kick, the lock in his room directly shattered.

Just as he was thinking of escaping, Zhou Tian gently lifted his hand and placed it on his shoulder. It was as if his entire shoulder was crippled, causing him to feel excruciating pain. In addition, a wave of coldness arose in his heart.

Even now, he still could not understand how Zhou Tian could have discovered the problem so quickly, and could even accurately find his home.

”Actually, I was having a good rest at home today. But Manager Shi called me and told me that he had something to discuss with me at the last minute and also gave me a lot of money. I was puzzled at the time, but was also greedy for the money, so I put on the uniform and came to the dining room as instructed by Manager Shi. I thought that Manager Shi wanted to ask me to help because he was worried that the dining hall was short of staff. ”

Zheng looked at manager Shi carefully. His face was still warm, but there was a fierce look in his eyes.

That was a threat.

Zheng was shocked. He remembered one time when Manager Shi was drunk, he said he knew some gang leader and killed people without batting an eye.

”Go on, I was just listening to the exciting news.”

Zhou Tian smiled as he stood between Little Zheng and Manager Shi.

Little Zheng shivered. Compared to Manager Shi, the man in front of him was even scarier.

”But I didn't expect that Manager Shi would ask me to trick these four guests into entering the private room on the third floor. I did so out of greed. As for what happened next, I'm not sure.” Little Zheng finished his sentence.

”Well done.” With a face full of praise, Zhou Tian smiled at Manager Shi: ”I wonder if Manager Shi has anything else to add?”

”Little Zheng, I can't believe it. I can't believe you're joining forces with an outsider to deal with me!” Manager Shi's face was filled with grief and helplessness as he said, ”Three days ago, you were lackadaisical and did not provide proper services to the customers. I reprimanded you. Yesterday, because of your carelessness, you angered another distinguished guest, causing them to become unhappy. I will reprimand you again, and deduct your reward for this month. ”

Manager Shi didn't continue speaking after that.

Even Zhou Tian couldn't help but be impressed by this Manager Shi's craftiness and cleverness.

His hesitant appearance made his words seem all the more believable.

”Yeah, I did see Manager Shi scolding Little Zheng yesterday. Little Zheng was very angry at the time and kept bickering with Manager Shi. It was unpleasant.”

”I saw it three days ago. Little Zheng was playing on his phone in the corner and was caught red-handed by Manager Shi. He was given a beating.”

The waiters who were also in the same restaurant as Little Zheng said.

The girl shouted, ”Zheng is the shame of our restaurant!” How could he believe his words! It must be because you hold a grudge against Manager Shi that you brought these four people here today to cause trouble! And then deliberately frame Manager Shi! ”

Manager Shi coordinated with him and sighed.

Little Zheng didn't expect Manager Shi to blame him for everything.

”The matter has come to an end here. I believe that the four of you are only bewitched by Little Zheng to do so. ”However, since the internal management of our restaurant is not good, we will take care of all of you. As long as Zheng takes responsibility for the consequences, the restaurant will notify the police to deal with it.” Manager Shi said.

Naturally, Li Yong was incomparably happy with such an outcome. Not only did he not have to bear any consequences, he had even eaten a free meal in the private room. Speaking of which, they had all been relying on Little Zheng's blessings.

Although Li Xue and Zhou Su were unhappy that they had been wrongly accused of being accomplices, they had no other choice.

Only Zhou Tian sneered. What a good move to retreat in order to advance forward. Did he really think that finding a scapegoat would solve the problem? He was too naive.

Zheng looked scared. He was afraid that Zhou Tian and the others would leave him for Manager Shi to deal with. ”I have evidence to prove my innocence!”

”Oh, then why don't we all listen to Manager Shi?” Zhou Tian laughed.

Even if Little Zheng didn't have any evidence to prove his innocence, Zhou Tian was confident that he could pry open Manager Shi's mouth.
