Is Xu Ning the owner of Li Ji Private Kitchen?
“Then please go find the boss quickly!”
“If the boss tells me to scram, I’ll scram immediately!”
Xu Ning’s understated words, tinged with a hint of sarcasm, made Ma Wenlong freeze, then explode in anger.
He never expected this young man in front of him to dare talk back to him!
It was simply outrageous!
He had originally believed that someone from the lowest rung of society, suffocated by the burdens of life, would never dare to easily lose his job, otherwise he might face the dilemma of not having food to eat tomorrow.
That’s why he dared to brazenly act with such unbridled arrogance, hoping to humiliate the other party and force him to grovel.
But the reality was that the other person completely ignored him, full of mockery and disdain.
“You…” Ma Wenlong pointed a finger at Xu Ning, but his hand was trembling with rage.
Wang Yingying and Jing Yunting, however, showed smug expressions, because they felt that Xu Ning had angered Director Ma and would definitely not have a good outcome.
“Is this how your restaurant’s designated driver treats guests?”
“Go call your boss!”
“I want to ask him properly if he still wants to be in business!”
Seeing that he seemed to have no good way to deal with Xu Ning, but the guests in the lobby were already looking over, making him feel a bit awkward, so he could only feign ferocity and scold the waiter.
The waiter couldn’t help but slightly curl her lips; after being a waiter for so many years, what kind of person hadn’t she seen?
This guy in front of her was clearly getting carried away with his act.
“Then let me formally introduce him!”
“This gentleman is both our designated driver and the boss of Li’s Private Kitchen!”
“If you have any complaints, you can tell our boss directly!”
Although the waiter’s expression seemed businesslike, the half-smile on her lips completely betrayed her current mood.
Her words, however, made everyone present pause, utterly incredulous.
What?
This designated driver is the boss of Li’s Private Kitchen?
How is that possible?
Surely it’s a joke!
Li’s Private Kitchen, you’re not even named Li, how could you be the boss!
“Are you just casually naming someone as the boss to fool me?”
“You Li’s Private Kitchen really don’t take your customers seriously!”
Ma Wenlong, of course, didn’t believe it and snorted coldly.
But at this moment, Manager Liu, hearing the commotion, had already rushed over.
“This guest, he is indeed the boss of Li’s Private Kitchen.”
“If you have something you need to discuss with the boss, you can do so now.”
This time, everyone was truly shocked!
You might not believe the waiter’s words, but regular customers all knew that Manager Liu was the actual manager of Li’s Private Kitchen, and he wouldn’t casually lie like that!
In other words, this handsome young man was really the boss of Li’s Private Kitchen?
The boss working as a designated driver in his own restaurant?
That’s too unreliable!
However, unlike the surprise of other guests, Ma Wenlong was utterly embarrassed, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.
After all, he had just pounded his chest and swore that he and the restaurant boss were brothers.
But now the restaurant boss was right in front of him, and he didn't even recognize him.
Trying to show off right in front of the person himself, is there anything more embarrassing in the world than this?
Wang Yingying and Jing Yunting were both greatly alarmed, their faces losing color; they never imagined that Xu Ning was actually the boss of Li’s Private Kitchen!
So, he really did inherit an inheritance, and wasn't just showing off by driving someone else’s luxury car.
As for why he was a designated driver, it was his own restaurant, he could do whatever he wanted!
Recalling how they had just self-righteously told Xu Ning not to bother her, it was so embarrassing that they wished they could cover their faces and run away quickly.
At this moment, Xu Ning no longer wanted to get entangled with them.
“If you want to eat, eat quietly!”
“If you don’t want to eat, then get out immediately!”
“Don’t be so self-important; there are plenty of people who can crush you with ease!”
Xu Ning snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Although, in a certain sense, the three of them were now customers of Li’s Private Kitchen, and as customers who are considered gods, he shouldn't treat them this way.
But did Xu Ning really care?
For someone who wanted to humiliate him, not having the security guards throw them out was already him being magnanimous!
As for the other guests, they would never empathize with them; instead, they would give Xu Ning a thumbs up.
After all, they had all seen the scene where that small-eyed man had tried to show off by making the designated driver drink three glasses of baijiu.
Ma Wenlong was scolded until his face was red, and the two women’s faces also flushed crimson, looking utterly wretched.
“Let’s go!”
“What’s so great about owning a restaurant? You can’t even get into high society, you’re not even worth a fart!”
“Wang Yingying, you’re going to enter the Entertainment industry and become a big star!”
“In a while, I’ll call Director Shi; I’ll put aside my old face and definitely get you an important role in Nameless People!”
“Just wait for the movie to be released and become famous!”
“By then, you’ll be adored by millions, and you’ll be able to buy this broken restaurant by just acting in a movie!”
Having lost face like this, they naturally had no face to stay here.
However, as they were leaving, they naturally had to put on a brave front and say some harsh words to make themselves seem less pathetic.
Who would believe such empty words, especially in this situation?
But Wang Yingying, surprisingly, believed it; despite her current distress, she was incredibly delighted in her heart.
An important role!
Her chance had come!
In her mind, she was already envisioning her glorious days in the Entertainment industry, completely dispelling her current embarrassment.
But just then, Xu Ning, who had turned to leave, stopped.
He turned his head, his expression becoming playful.
“What movie did you say?”
Ma Wenlong thought that they had revealed their Entertainment industry identities, making the boss of Li’s Private Kitchen wary, and couldn’t help but snort.
“Nameless People!”
“This is a big production that’s about to start filming!”
“Let me tell you, I’m the assistant director of the movie!”
“Just you wait, I’ll expose the ugly face of your Li’s Private Kitchen through various channels!”
“You can just wait for your restaurant to be swarmed by fans and go out of business!”
Ma Wenlong’s words made Wang Yingying’s eyes light up.
That’s right!
Once she became a big star admired by all, she would expose that scoundrel Xu Ning through various channels!
By then, she would not only ruin his reputation but also make him lose everything!
Thinking of Xu Ning’s desperate and pathetic end, being swarmed by those extreme fans to the point of wanting to jump off a building, Wang Yingying felt she had instantly regained her confidence.
But just then, Xu Ning couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.
Looking at the three people in front of him, who had regained their composure, his face was already filled with sarcasm.
If you had said any other movie, he might not have had any way to deal with it.
But if you’re talking about Nameless People, then I’m sorry, I really do have something to say!
A slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, and in front of Ma Wenlong and the two women, he picked up his phone and dialed.
