244: Chapter 244 Unrelated Persons

Director Lian, her face pale, glared coldly at Xiao Ting and shouted, "You were never worthy of eating it!"

Xiao Ting let out a cold laugh and retorted, "Yes, I'm not worthy of eating bird's nest and abalone, but you? You can't afford to eat it, and you can't afford to live!"

Director Lian was so enraged by her words that her eyes widened.

Unable to win the argument with Xiao Ting, she took out her anger on the dishes on the table.

CRASH!

All the dishes that had just been served were smashed onto the floor, with soup and vegetable leaves splattering everywhere.

The manager, standing not far from the dining table, also got splashed with some soup, looking slightly disheveled.

Pfft!

Seeing the manager she had provoked, Director Lian's terrible mood instantly improved.

"Even if you are the manager, you probably can't afford things like abalone and bird's nest, right? Here, all these dishes smashed on the floor are a gift for you!"

Just as Director Lian was feeling smug, the manager calmly took two steps back, took the bill from the Waitress behind him, and respectfully handed it to Director Lian.

Director Lian, not understanding what was happening, took the bill from his hand.

With just one glance, her expression changed.

"One million two hundred thousand?!"

"You might as well just rob us!"

Hearing this, the manager frowned slightly.

"Esteemed guest, all the dishes in our establishment have marked prices."

Director Lian snorted resentfully and fiercely threw the bill onto the table.

"But the wine, bird's nest, and abalone were not ordered by us. You even said you were giving them to us. How can you count them?!"

The manager pursed his lips.

"We only said we were giving the dishes and wine to President Shen. We never said we were giving these things to you. You smashed our store's dishes and wine for no reason, so you naturally have to compensate."

"Or are you suggesting, esteemed guest, that you intend to dine and dash?"

Director Lian indeed intended to dine and dash.

That was one million two hundred thousand!

In a third-tier city, that amount could buy a villa!

"What do you mean dine and dash? I clearly see this as forced buying and selling!"

As soon as the words fell.

Just as the manager was about to speak, Shen Yan sneered from the side, mocking, "The way you say that, it sounds like the manager held a knife to your neck, forcing you to smash everything on the table."

"You accuse this restaurant of forced buying and selling, but all these things were gifted to me by the manager. If you didn't want to eat them, you didn't have to, why smash everything onto the floor?"

A look of guilt flashed across Director Lian's face.

She had just been overcome by anger and hadn't considered the consequences, which is why she smashed everything she found displeasing.

Now seeing the bill, she secretly regretted her impulsive action of smashing things earlier.

However, she would certainly not admit to having such thoughts.

"I don't care what you say. I am not paying this bill. At worst, let him call the police and send all of us to the police station!"

One must remember that Shen Yan was also among their group.

If the manager called the police, it would effectively mean sending Shen Yan to the police station as well.

Director Lian did not believe the manager had that courage.

Just as she was thinking this, Shen Yan nodded and said to her, "You are right. Let's call the police then. Manager, are you calling the police, or should I?"

Hearing this, the manager was slightly stunned.

The boss had only told him to teach President Shen's friends a lesson, but he hadn't mentioned calling the police.

Seeing him standing there foolishly without moving, Shen Yan sighed and pulled out his phone from his pocket.

"You can't call the police!"

Seeing that he was serious, Director Lian rushed over in fright.

"What are you doing? Not only being a thief, but now you want to be a robber too?"

Director Lian's face changed.

"What do you mean thief? What do you mean I want to be a robber?"

Shen Yan pointed at the dishes on the floor, then pointed at his phone.

"First, you inexplicably smashed things and refused to pay, and now you rush over trying to snatch my phone, right? Being a thief first, then a robber, what is that?"

Xiao Ting chimed in from the side, "That's right, being a thief first, then a robber!"

Director Lian never expected that even Xiao Ting dared to mock her at a time like this. She said through gritted teeth to Xiao Ting, "Chen Tingting! Aren't you afraid you won't be able to secure a permanent position at the hospital?!"

Xiao Ting looked at Director Lian and remained silent.

Seeing that she wasn't speaking, Director Lian assumed she had been intimidated. She softened her tone and said to Xiao Ting, "I was impulsive just now. You tell them I didn't mean it, and then we'll let this matter drop."

As her voice fell.

Just as Liu Hui was about to speak, she heard Xiao Ting sharply interrupt, "Dream on!"

"I've had enough of you for a long time! A despicable woman who bullies the weak in the hospital by relying on the little power she has!"

Director Lian's eyes widened.

She raised her hand in disbelief, pointing a trembling finger at Xiao Ting, unable to form a complete sentence for a long time.

"You! You! You!"

Xiao Ting rolled her eyes and said, "What about me? Even a clay Buddha gets angry. I am a person. Don't think I usually tolerate you because I'm afraid of you. I just haven't found the right time to curse you out!"

"If you think being cursed by me isn't enough, then keep talking. You say one sentence, I curse you once. You say two sentences, I curse you three times. If you say ten more sentences to me, I guarantee I will curse you here for an hour without stopping!"

Because Xiao Ting's mouth was so effective, Shen Yan and Liu Hui couldn't even find a chance to intervene; they just stood by watching the show.

Seeing the situation getting more chaotic, the manager rubbed his temples and asked everyone present, "So, who among you will be paying now?"

Hearing this, Director Lian and her husband instantly shut up, neither mentioning the previously agreed-upon treat.

Seeing this, Shen Yan chuckled softly and shook his head, stepping forward to tell the manager, "I will pay for this meal. Let's go."

As soon as these words were spoken, the manager immediately bowed ninety degrees to him and said, "If President Shen has decided to pay, then this meal can be complimentary."

Director Lian gasped and subconsciously asked, "Why?!"

The manager straightened up, tilted his head, and replied righteously, "Because he is President Shen, and you are merely irrelevant people. If it weren't for President Shen, you wouldn't even have the qualification to enter this private room."

As the manager's words faded, the faces of Director Lian and her husband grew increasingly pale.

"Fine. Since you say it's complimentary, I won't stand on ceremony. I'll come back another day to have a good talk with your boss."

The manager nodded and respectfully cleared the way.

The farce ended here.

Shen Yan led Liu Hui and Xiao Ting out of the restaurant together.

"That felt amazing! If I had known cursing her felt this good, I would have done it sooner..."

When they reached the car, Xiao Ting was still muttering this sentence.

Liu Hui turned to look at Xiao Ting and asked with a trace of worry on her face, "With you acting like this... what about securing your permanent position later?"
