31: Chapter 31 Don't Mess with the Waiters
Actually, if it were an ordinary guest, the waiter naturally wouldn't bother with such things.
However, Qin Yi's table was no ordinary guest. They could casually open a bottle of champagne worth over twenty thousand yuan. Moreover, he had just heard from that table that a Bugatti was indeed parked in the SVIP spot.
Perhaps that Bugatti really belonged to the guest in front of him. How could someone who could afford a Bugatti be an ordinary person?
So, when the waiter heard Qin Yi's request, he immediately turned his gaze toward Wang Hao and the Influencer Face.
"Sir, your seats are over there! Please do not affect other guests' dining experience!"
The waiter's words were polite, but his tone brooked no argument.
Wang Hao was furious. He thought to himself, what is going on today! Did I fail to check the almanac before leaving home?
A damn waiter actually dares to speak to me like this!
Immediately, he raised his hand as if to slap the waiter in front of him.
Unexpectedly, the waiter seemed to have anticipated this. He took a direct step back, staring coldly at Wang Hao. Tilting his head toward his earpiece, he calmly reported, "Brother Fei, someone is making trouble in the shop!"
...
Quiet!
Exceptionally quiet!
Just after the waiter finished speaking, the chatter of diners in the restaurant ceased!
One must know, this was the 'Sinan Feast'!
Daring to cause trouble at the Sinan Feast was truly like an old man eating arsenic—tired of living!
Before long, a "clack, clack, clack..." sound of leather shoes hitting tiles came from afar, getting closer.
Everyone followed the sound and saw a man with a vintage slicked-back hairstyle, wearing a black suit, white shirt, and black tie. He was flanked by two burly men in 'Sinan Feast' uniforms, walking quickly toward the waiter.
Qin Yi had heard people mention before that the background of the boss behind Sinan Feast was very deep and mysterious. Moreover, he had a characteristic: he was extremely protective of his own!
Jianghu legend: Once, someone got drunk and made trouble at the Sinan Feast, harassing a waitress. Although the police were called at the time and mediation was performed—the drunk man eventually paid five thousand yuan and the case was settled—somehow, as soon as the drunk man left the station, he was hit by a van. He died instantly, the kind where there was no need to even call an ambulance...
Later, it spread online that the car accident was orchestrated by the boss behind Sinan Feast to kill him...
However, no one knew if those reports online were true or false.
Afterward, the police also investigated, but in the end, they only gave a conclusion of an accidental incident. The insurance company paid some money, and the matter was left at that.
But since then, the reputation that Sinan Feast was not to be trifled with spread throughout Shanghai.
Coupled with the high prices of Sinan Feast, it actually attracted many diners who wanted to peek at the secrets and weren't short on money.
...
Wang Hao had also heard some legends about the Sinan Feast. Moreover, he frequently visited these high-end places, so he naturally knew that a top-tier buffet restaurant like 'Sinan Feast' would indeed have specialized security personnel.
Looking back at the waiter he had almost hit, who showed no sign of fear, Wang Hao had no doubt that if he had actually struck the waiter just now, he would probably have been thrown out by the three men approaching.
If that really happened, wouldn't he lose a tremendous amount of face?
Of course, that was the best-case scenario...
If it was truly like the rumors online, he might not see tomorrow's sun!
Damn it, this is all Qin Yi's fault!
If he hadn't run into Qin Yi, this conflict wouldn't have happened!
...
Soon, the three of them arrived beside the waiter.
The waiter immediately called out "Brother Fei" with a respectful attitude and then reported the current situation...
The man with the slicked-back hair, called Brother Fei, looked at Wang Hao with an unfriendly gaze. He then took a step forward and said coldly, "It's you making trouble at the Sinan Feast?"
Brother Fei's voice was cold and sharp, and the Aura he emitted was even more shocking to Wang Hao than what Qin Yi had delivered just now!
Wang Hao's throat bobbed twice. He didn't dare to act rashly, thinking that a wise man doesn't fight against the odds. He gave Brother Fei a sheepish smile. "Hehe, you must be the manager. A misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding..."
Seeing that this person was actually a silver-plated spearhead—all show and no substance—the waiter curled his lip in disdain. He thought, where's that badassery from just now? Why don't you try being arrogant with Brother Fei!
Brother Fei smiled coldly and rested his hand on Wang Hao's shoulder. It seemed like a casual movement, but Wang Hao felt as if his arm had been struck hard by an iron hammer, nearly causing him to stumble and kneel.
Then, Brother Fei's indifferent, emotionless voice rang out again.
"Well, since it's a misunderstanding, I won't delay your meal, sir!"
"However, I still have to remind you of something. The guests who come to dine with us are all honored guests of Sinan Feast. As honored guests, we will naturally treat them well! But if anyone dares to cause trouble at Sinan Feast, we will certainly not be polite!"
"No matter who you are! Do you understand?"
Brother Fei's words were meant for Wang Hao, but also for the other diners in the restaurant.
Hearing Brother Fei's blatant warning, sweat began to bead on Wang Hao's forehead. He hurriedly nodded and replied, "Yes, yes, I understand, I understand..."
Shortly after, Brother Fei retracted his hand from Wang Hao's shoulder.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, he glanced at Qin Yi, who was sitting nearby, and happened to meet Qin Yi's gaze.
Qin Yi's heart trembled. Brother Fei's eyes gave him a sense of inexplicable pressure.
But Brother Fei didn't say anything and turned to leave coolly.
Immediately, Qin Yi silently commanded the System, "System, activate Eye of Truth!"
[Ding! Eye of Truth activated!]
As Qin Yi watched Brother Fei's departing back, Brother Fei's basic information appeared on the light screen in his eyes.
[Name: Si Hongfei]
[Gender: Male]
[Identity: Security Manager of Sinan Feast]
[Age: 28]
[Realm: Middle Stage of Ming Jin]
[Cultivation Technique: Eight Extremities Fist (Minor Achievement)]
[Favorability: 0]
[Opposite Sex Intimacy: 0]
Holy crap, Qin Yi was a bit surprised. He didn't expect this Brother Fei to be a master at the Middle Stage of Ming Jin!
This was the first time since he bound the System that Realm and Cultivation Technique appeared on the attribute panel.
Previously, when he used the Eye of Truth to check Xing Zhenkun and Xu Qian, Realm and Cultivation Technique hadn't appeared...
Looking at it this way, perhaps because they were ordinary people, they didn't have these two categories.
However, it was one thing for Si Hongfei's favorability toward him to be 0, but how could his Opposite Sex Intimacy also be 0...
He's already 28. Could it be that he's asexual?
Sinan Feast... Si Hongfei...
To have someone at the Middle Stage of Ming Jin serve as the security manager of a buffet restaurant, it seems the boss behind Sinan Feast is indeed not simple...
While Qin Yi was thinking this, he heard the waiter speak again: "Sir, will you continue dining, or are you leaving? If you continue dining, please return to your seat. If you leave, I must remind you that we will not refund the meal fee..."
Qin Yi withdrew his gaze and looked at Wang Hao with interest. He originally wanted to see how he would react, but unexpectedly, Wang Hao's attribute panel also appeared.
[Name: Wang Hao]
[Gender: Male]
[Identity: Unemployed, Heir to Hongtai Construction Co., Ltd.]
[Age: 22]
[Favorability: -50]
[Opposite Sex Intimacy: 20]
The favorability is actually negative. It seems Wang Hao really hates me. I'll have to watch my back around him in the future.
At this moment, the Influencer Face standing next to Wang Hao advised in a low voice, "Brother Hao, how about we just leave?"
Wang Hao glared at her, thinking that if he left now, wouldn't he completely become a laughingstock?
Besides, he had already paid the meal fee—six thousand yuan! He hadn't eaten anything yet and was full of anger. Why should he leave!
He had to vent this pent-up rage today!
Qin Yi, you just wait! I'll definitely show you today!
Wang Hao thought this in his heart but didn't dare to say it out loud.
He took a deep breath and pointed at the waiter. Actually, he originally wanted to point at Qin Yi, but remembering the pain of almost having his finger snapped by Qin Yi just now, he could only silently lower his hand. He glared at Qin Yi, who was sitting nearby watching the joke, and turned around, walking straight to the empty seat behind him.
"Boo..."
The diners watching the scene didn't expect that the man who had been so arrogant and was about to hit the waiter just now would be so useless. Moreover, he shamelessly continued to sit down and eat, which immediately drew a chorus of boos.
[Ding! Detected that Wang Hao's favorability toward the host has dropped by 50 points. Current favorability: -100!]
[Ding! Wang Hao's favorability toward the host has plummeted, triggering a random mission—Being Kind to the Enemy is Being Cruel to Yourself!]
[Option 1: Win people over with virtue, be strict with yourself and lenient with others, and reconcile with Wang Hao!]
Reward: Randomly deduct 5 points from six-dimensional attributes, and be cursed with bad luck for 72 hours!]
[Option 2: Cut off the source. Within one week, bring down Hongtai Construction Co., Ltd., making it impossible for Wang Hao to ever recover!]
Reward: Charm +2, Mental Energy +2, Special Skill: Financial Prophet (Elementary)!]
...
Hearing this series of System prompts, Qin Yi raised his eyebrows, thinking that it seemed he really needed to settle things with Wang Hao!
However, bringing down a company was not an easy task.
Fortunately, this mission had a time limit of one week, so he didn't need to start on it immediately.
For now, the highest priority mission was still to increase Xu Qian's favorability.
