Chapter 554 – Xiao Dong is mad!
Noon.
Wedding banquet.
Dong Xuebing almost kicked that waitress when he heard that greyish pile of trash is the dish, Women at 40!
Women at 40?!
Do you dare to serve a plate of soybean pulp?!
What sort of name is this?!
The District Party Secretary’s wife and District Mayor, Geng Yuehua, are looking terrible, and Dong Xuebing immediately wanted us to BACK to amend his mistake. But he had used up all his accumulated time to practice REVERSE and used the two minutes he saved over the last two days in his fight in Liu Xiang Hu Tong. He has only slightly more than one minute left. This dish was served more than five minutes ago. Damn! He had embarrassed himself by trying to suck up to them!
Many people heard this, and the banquet went silent for a few seconds!
Suddenly, a few students burst out laughing, and the laughter spread. Even a few people from the Government Service started laughing.
But no one at the table laughed.
District Mayor Geng Yuehua is in her thirties and will be forty in a few years. The dish ordered by Dong Xuebing implies that she might be pretty now, but she will look like this dish in a few years. It is worse for Madam Yan. She is in her mid-forties, and it implies she looks like soybean residue now. Everyone looks like Dong Xuebing and laughs in their heart. He had offended two of the most powerful people in the District with a dish!
Dong Xuebing cursed in his heart and pushed the plate of soybean pulp to the waitress. “Bring it away! How can you all serve this under that name?!”
The waitress quickly brings the dish away.
Dong Xuebing slapped his forehead. “Sorry! I will punish myself by drinking three classes!”
Dong Xuebing doesn’t care whether Government staff are allowed to drink during office hours or not and started pouring alcohol into his glass.
One glass….
Two glasses….
Three glasses….
After finishing the alcohol, Dong Xuebing sat down. He is not suitable to say anything now and hopes someone can help him clear up the misunderstanding. He had done this on purpose. But Chu Qinghua cleared his throat. He did not help Dong Xuebing resolve the awkward situation and stood up to bring his son and daughter-in-law to the next table to offer a toast. Without the host, Chu Qinghua clearing up the misunderstanding, it becomes more awkward.
Dong Xuebing looks at Chu Qinghua. What’s the meaning of this?
It was Wang Yuling who helped Dong Xuebing. She hugged Madam Yan’s arm. “What a stupid menu! Who will name their dishes like this?! Are they trying to close their business?!”
Dong Xuebing added. “The pictures in the menu are not clear, and who can tell what that dish is?!”
Wang Yuling replied. “They are trying to mislead others!”
Dong Xuebing continued. “Women at 40 should be a plate of flowers.”
“Hehe… that’s right. women at 40 are flowers.” Wang Yuling laughed. “My Aunt is prettier than me now.”
Madam Yan smiles and shakes her head.
Dong Xuebing and Wang Yuling quickly defused the awkwardness, and he was relieved. Luckily, Wang Yuling is willing to speak up for him, and his impression of her changed. Although Geng Yuehua and Madam Yan did not show any displeasure, he doesn’t know what they think in their hearts. He knows Mayor Geng only thinks about work and will not be bothered by such trivial matters. But he does not understand Madam Yan and doesn’t know what she thinks.
Damn!
Why do I have to encounter such an unlucky incident?!
Dong Xuebing is mad. Geng Yuehua left during the banquet after a while as she was busy with work. After she left, he stood up and walked over to the front counter.
“Where is your Boss?!” Dong Xuebing stares at a waiter.
The waiter is stunned as he knows many VIPs are around. He quickly points to the back. “The Boss is in the kitchen. Walk straight and turn left.”
Dong Xuebing stormed towards the kitchen.
Kitchen.
A few chefs are cutting fruits, and a sign says “no outsiders” at the entrance.
