52: Chapter 53 Helping Those in Injustice
It's already lunchtime, let's go grab a bite to eat later! You can't get full just drinking coffee.
An Xin had a faint smile on his face.
It made the woman not far away feel somewhat attracted; his profile looked exceptionally gentle under the sunlight.
Even though he had an Eastern appearance, it lacked the mediocrity of the masses; instead, it gave people a very gentle and harmonious feeling.
Chu Xinxin couldn't help but scold herself, "Are you crazy! Someone is just being illuminated by the sun, and you're already letting your imagination run wild."
An Xin noticed Chu Xinxin staring at him and felt a bit embarrassed, so he couldn't help but say, "Is there a bug on my face?"
Both of them became even more awkward at the same time, but neither had the nerve to speak again.
Chu Xinxin quickly looked away and said, "Your hair is too long, it's time for a haircut."
This simple sentence finally relieved the awkwardness between the two.
Not long after, the two arrived at a dumpling restaurant, but this dumpling restaurant looked extremely luxurious, not at all like a place an ordinary person could enter.
Just as they were about to go in, they heard someone shouting angrily, "Did you put gold in these dumplings? They're so expensive!"
"If you can't afford it, don't eat it. You finish eating and don't pay; do you think our shop is a charity?" The Waiter's face was full of disdain.
Looking at the old man sitting not far away, the Waiter kept showing him the ledger.
"It's written here in black and white that it contains high-end ingredients like cordyceps. Even if you didn't know the price, you should have looked at the decor of our shop!" The Waiter couldn't help but call out a few more people.
Chu Xinxin was just about to step forward to stop the Waiter, but An Xin grabbed her.
"Are we just going to watch her bully someone?" Chu Xinxin's face was full of anger. Even if the person didn't know the price, there was no need to talk to them like that!
The Waiter brought a few people to surround the table.
"Call the police, we must call the police! Eating food and not paying, where in the world is there such a logic?" The young Waiter's face was full of impatience.
The few men beside her were also eager to try, and by the looks of it, if the old man didn't pay, he would likely be carried out horizontally.
The old man sneered and said, "It's just 2,000 yuan worth of dumplings, right? You want me to pay this money? Fine! But I want to know what kind of ingredients you have that make it worth this price."
"It's a case of one willing to hit and the other willing to suffer; as for what ingredients we put in, that has nothing to do with you. Besides, I've already told you what's in the dumplings: cordyceps, saffron, and snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains." The Waiter's face was full of pride.
"These things conflict with each other; just putting them all together doesn't make it a good dish." The old man's face was cold, wishing he could slap the Waiter to death.
"If I'm not mistaken, this old gentleman is probably one of the owners behind the scenes of this shop; he came here just to control the taste of the dumplings." An Xin looked at the situation on both sides and understood a bit.
The crowd of onlookers grew larger, and the Waiter became increasingly impatient, wanting to find someone to drag the old man out.
"I'll count it as my loss this time; the dumplings are on the house. Don't let me see you eating for free again."
"Oh! The Waiter at Yuanyang Tower is so generous! How much does your boss pay you that you can just treat others to 2,000 yuan worth of dumplings?" A man in a white suit walked over in a few steps.
Then he suddenly grabbed the old man who was about to leave. The old man, who originally wanted to leave, was held tightly and couldn't leave at all.
The Waiter couldn't help but shout, "Bai Fei, get lost! Don't make me hit you."
"I'm your brother! You spend your days being a Waiter, is this how you act?" Bai Fei's face was full of smiles.
The old man, who was about to leave, couldn't help but say, "Let go of me! If you do this again, I'll sue you."
"Go ahead and sue! Coming to Yuanyang Tower to freeload; you don't even look at who we are."
Although Bai Fei's face had a smile, he didn't give the old man a chance to leave.
The old man couldn't help but say, "I'm your uncle, and this is how you treat me?"
"Even if you were my own father today, I couldn't let you go! With so many eyes watching, if I let you go, how would I answer to my dad?"
Bai Fei walked over in a few steps, then came to An Xin and said, "This must be a new customer! Come and judge for us; this old man says the dumplings in our shop aren't authentic, so I want you to help taste them."
Chu Xinxin glared at Bai Fei, feeling that this guy's brain had some issues. Are the marketing strategies of big restaurants nowadays this casual?
"Sure." As soon as An Xin finished speaking, he was quickly pulled to a table by the Waiter from not far away and sat down.
Bai Fei couldn't help but say, "Sis, I don't even get such good treatment myself. You're doing this because he's handsome, right?"
Before he could finish speaking, the pretty female Waiter stepped on his foot.
"Try teasing me again!"
The two finally settled down a bit, and a plate of dumplings was served.
An Xin scanned the code and paid for three portions of dumplings, then said, "I'm not going to eat your food for free, but I have to say, if it's not delicious, I will tell the truth."
After saying this, he picked up a dumpling and started eating.
He found that the dumplings were perfect in color, aroma, and taste; the only downside was that the portion size of each plate wasn't much.
"The taste is really good! As for the rest, it doesn't matter. Eating is mainly about being happy!" An Xin had a smile on his face and directly called Gao Qilan.
"Baby, come over to eat dumplings. I've tried them for you; they're super delicious."
An Xin's tone on the phone was extremely gentle, making the women around him feel a bit jealous.
They all saved up their own money to come and eat these dumplings to satisfy their cravings, and rarely did men spend so much money.
But this person obviously treated the person on the other end of the phone as the apple of his eye; the dishes were even ordered in advance.
Not long after, Gao Qilan was picked up by the driver.
At this moment, Gao Qilan was wearing a high-end custom outfit that An Xin had gotten for her.
The people around stared at her eagerly, which made her feel embarrassed instantly.
The old man on the side and the brother and sister noticed their awkwardness.
Bai Fei said directly, "The three of you, please come in. I'm really sorry for disturbing your meal just now."
