The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 189
[Chapter 189 Making Trouble]
Lin Tian asked Tang Chuchu to entertain them well, so he had to accept and asked the waiter to make room for them.
The guests next to him didn’t want these homeless people to come in, but when they saw the waiter specially make room for them, they didn’t mind anymore.
At the same time, they also had a better impression of Lin Tian. After all, the boss would not receive such guests in any store.
“Chuchu, we open the door to do business. As long as the guests give money, we should do our job well and don’t look at different people with different eyes!”
Lin Tian said to Tang Chuchu after the group of people sat down.
“Yes, master, I know!”
Tang Chuchu bowed her head and responded.
She also realized that it was wrong for her to do so. Lin Tian trusted her and let her be the shopkeeper. She still had a lot to learn.
“Well, give them some cheap drinks, just think of it as a charity!”
Lin Tian also felt sorry for this group of people. When he saw them, he thought of the homeless people.
Most of these homeless people were people who fled from wars in other places.
They fled to the capital, but they were not registered in the official household register. They were black households and no one dared to use them.
So they can only live by begging, and they have to live in fear every day.
Although I don’t know where they get the money to eat hot pot, since they are here, they have to be treated well.
Lin Tian turned to the other side of the guests and said politely.
“Please forgive me for bringing you a bad dining experience. After all, we are open for business, and there is no reason not to receive you.”
Some guests said that it was okay, but some guests still looked a little unhappy.
“How about this, today’s consumption will be 10% off for all of you. Thank you for your forgiveness!”
Lin Tian said after thinking for a while.
A 10% discount will not lose much, but if there are no repeat customers, it will be a big loss.
When everyone heard what Lin Tian said, they also said that Lin Tian was generous and praised him.
After all, who would be unhappy if they could get a bargain, and that group of people did not affect themselves.
After a while, the dishes of the group were all served, and Tang Chuchu personally brought some drinks to them.
“Everyone, I’m really sorry just now. These drinks are for you. I wish you a happy meal!”
Tang Chuchu said politely with a smile on her face.
Those people didn’t show any sign of appreciation, they just waved their hands to let Tang Chuchu put it down, without a word of thanks.
An old man with a little girl said thank you to the shopkeeper.
Tang Chuchu put down the drinks and just turned around to leave, when a harsh voice suddenly came from behind.
“Shopkeeper, the drinks are all delivered, why don’t you help us pour the wine, and sit down and chat by the way!”
A homeless man in his thirties who led the group looked at Tang Chuchu with a lecherous look and teased her.
The others on the side laughed and made fun of it, they had also coveted this young and beautiful shopkeeper for a long time.
“Come on, come on, the shopkeeper is so beautiful, have a drink with us.”
The old man who just thanked them wanted to speak out to stop them, but he was weak and was drowned out by the voices of others as soon as he opened his mouth.
When Tang Chuchu heard such words, she was about to get angry and retort.
But thinking of Lin Tian telling her to be polite to the guests, she suppressed her emotions and said with a fake smile.
“Everyone, enjoy your food and drink. I won’t accompany you. If you want someone to drink with you, go to the Qinglou in front and find someone!”
Tang Chuchu said, suppressing her inner anger, and turned and left.
The group of people laughed wildly again, making the guests on the other side very unhappy, but they could do nothing about it.
After a while, they drank a little wine, and a leader stood up again and shouted loudly.
“Where is the shopkeeper, shopkeeper, come out, why is your hot pot so unpalatable, it’s not authentic at all, and this wine is like mixed with water, come out and explain!”
As he said that, he smashed the wine pot in his hand on the ground, and pieces of broken porcelain popped out, making a harsh sound.
Tang Chuchu heard the sound and hurried over. Seeing this situation, she asked the waiter to get a broom to sweep the broken porcelain on the ground, and then she said to the group of people.
“I don’t know if you have any questions. Our hot pot is authentic. Is it not to your taste?”
Tang Chuchu glanced at those people and felt that they obviously wanted to make trouble, but she didn’t dare to say anything.
“What do you mean it’s not to your taste? This hot pot is just garbage!”
The leader winked at the people next to him and continued.
“And this wine is made of water. If you don’t want to give it to me, don’t give it to me. I didn’t expect you, the shopkeeper, to deceive us honest people like this!”
“Yes, we can’t stand it. Brothers, let’s smash this store. What paradise on earth is bullshit!”
The people on the side got the signal and started to make trouble.
Although they didn’t want to, their lives were in the hands of others, and they were paid, so why not do it!
A group of people started to stand up and smash things. The old man with the girl wanted to stop them, but he was afraid that they would hurt his granddaughter, so he could only step aside.
When the little girl saw them smashing things, she was frightened and started crying.
The group of people suddenly started smashing things like crazy. One of them picked up a wine jug and threw it at Tang Chuchu.
Tang Chuchu couldn’t dodge in time. Just as it was about to hit her head, a hand suddenly reached out, grabbed the wine jug and threw it on the ground.
It turned out that Lin Tian, who was in the back kitchen, heard the waiter say that someone was making trouble in front, so he rushed over and just intercepted the wine jug.
“Chuchu, are you okay?”
Lin Tian asked Tang Chuchu with concern.
“Master, it’s okay, but this group of people suddenly went crazy and wanted to smash things, and I really couldn’t stop them!”
Tang Chuchu said with tears in her eyes.
“It’s okay, leave it to me, you go down first!”
Lin Tian comforted, and then shouted in front of the group of people.
“Everyone, I don’t know if there is any offense to our store, please tell me, if you continue to make trouble, don’t blame me for being rude!”
Lin Tian asked in a very angry but polite tone.
“You’re welcome. What dare you do? There’s something wrong with your hot pot, so we’re going to smash it!”
The leader said confidently, and he didn’t forget to smash a table.
Lin Tian was immediately furious. He had wanted to be polite to them, after all, they were all poor people.
But he didn’t expect that they were here to cause trouble, so there was no need to be polite.
Lin Tian was about to punch him, but at this time, there was a sound of horse hooves and the friction of armor at the door.
Lin Tian had to stop and murmured in his heart.
“Is the City Emperor’s Division so well-informed that they knew there was trouble here so quickly?”
A team of soldiers walked in with swords and spears, and the door was also surrounded.
“The City Emperor’s Division is investigating a case. Outsiders must leave immediately. Where is the shopkeeper?”
