Chapter 150: Eighty Percent Off for Food?
PS: The second update is here, continue to call for monthly tickets, and book friends' recommendation votes can't be missed either, after all it's Monday today.
At this moment, he really wanted to find a seam in the ground to drill into, of course, provided there was a seam. He was the section chief of the nearby district's Industry and Commerce Bureau, with very little power, usually just relying on bullying the small shops in the area to make some extra money.
Most of the shops nearby are small businesses, and even larger ones like Bainongxin restaurant are basically run by outsiders. Dealing with such people is a piece of cake for Yu Liang.
Moreover, he is good at choosing dates, basically all piling up on the opening day of other people's shops. This is a festive day, even if nothing happens, the shop owner does not want to make trouble, and most of them are forgiving.
Of course, there are also those who are stubborn and don't know what's good for them. Such people aren't afraid of the leftover rations either. The few people following him were a motley crew, including those from the Industry and Commerce Bureau, the Fire Brigade, and the Health Bureau. With such an array, whoever dares to make trouble will be shut down immediately. Whether the certificates are complete or not, whether the fire safety work is done properly or not, whether it's qualified or not, it's all up to them to decide.
What's even more annoying is that during this period, he seemed to be walking backwards. Two months ago, Wang Xu's clinic opened, and the fanfare was so great that it almost scared him pee-less. It was clearly a princeling's fanfare. People like this are just scammers, not doctors at all.
It's okay, taking advantage of the crowd, I finally escaped from Yu Liang last time. After returning home, I was so scared that I didn't dare to go out and do things for a month, and I behaved well for a while.
Wang Xu's clinic was in the same jurisdiction as his, and he also paid attention to it afterwards. He didn't understand at first, but after understanding, he was even more frightened, and he couldn't sit or lie down.
A week ago, something happened at Fusheng Hall that made Tong Yu Liang unable to sleep soundly at night. It's said that they beat up a wealthy Japanese businessman, this kind of fierce person is truly rarely seen in a hundred years.
It's okay, Wang Xu didn't bother him for a while, and Yu Liang thought the other party might have forgotten about him. After all, he was just a small figure, insignificant. Only when he heard that this restaurant opened did he come over to make trouble.
This time I was well-prepared and had learned about Bai Nong's background beforehand, knowing that he was an outsider who had just arrived in the village, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
To be on the safe side, he came especially late today, at 11 o'clock, and generally when the store opens, 12 o'clock is an auspicious time, and the guests who should come to congratulate should have arrived.
After waiting for several hours not far from the entrance, seeing that the restaurant's gate was deserted and no one came to congratulate, I finally felt completely at ease with the leftover food, and only then did I swagger in.
Obviously, Tong Yu had bad luck, he came late today, but it was a bit too late. When he observed the situation at the door, it was already 9 o'clock, and Wang Xu had been sitting in the main hall of Xiangxiang Pavilion.
Today's Xiangxiang Pavilion has few customers, but Wang Xu alone is worth a large group. Looking at Wang Xu's smiling face, Yu Liang seems to have seen his own doomsday.
The several accomplices who followed behind Tong Yu's body were also frightened, not daring to breathe a sigh of relief, and cursed their bad luck in their hearts. How did they encounter this gentleman again? You say that you are a big shot who even fawns on the mayor, one moment it's a clinic, the next moment it's a restaurant, isn't this purely not giving people a way to live?
"Haha, we meet again! I don't know what to call you?" Wang Xu stood up and asked with a smile.
"Brother, don't scare me like that, I'm timid. My name is Tong Yuliang, you can just call me Xiao Tong." Tong Yuliang bowed his head and didn't mind that Wang Xu was twenty years younger than him, calling him "brother" with every sentence.
"I don't know what position Mr. Tong holds?" Wang Xu continued to ask with a smile.
"I'm just a section chief at the local Industrial and Commercial Bureau, brother. I'm just a small potato, so please let me off easy." Yu Liang was almost in tears. The more polite Wang Xu was, the more afraid he became. As for concealing his identity, he didn't dare think about it. He had bumped into Wang Xu twice before, and if they really investigated, he would be finished, just like a monk who can't escape his temple.
"It turned out to be the same department head, I'm really sorry. King Xuan laughed and stretched out his hand: "The department head is very dedicated, every time a nearby store opens, he comes over to inspect the work, it's really responsible."
"Brother, leader, I was wrong, I really was wrong. From now on, I won't dare to do it again." Yu Liang bowed his head and waist, not daring to look up, carefully pleading, he didn't even dare to shake hands with Wang Xu.
"This is what he said." Wang Xu was unhappy: "A leader like Tong Ke who is so dedicated to his work should be set as a model, I have some connections with Mayor Luo, and next time I will definitely help Tong Ke get justice, a good cadre like Tong Ke who is wholeheartedly for the people should be strongly promoted."
"Leader, brother, I..." Hearing Wang Xu's words, Yu Liang felt a chill in his heart. If Wang Xu had scolded him or beaten him up, he would have accepted it, but this kind of sarcastic remark was truly frightening to hear.
"Director Tong, you're too polite, please get up. I'm embarrassed to see you always bowing. Wang Xu smiled warmly at the other person and then said to Bai Nongxin: "Uncle Bai, Director Tong and a few others have finally arrived, and it's also the opening of the restaurant, hurry up and prepare a good table of dishes."
"I'm going right now." Bai Nongxin was unclear about the meaning, and his heart was full of doubts. However, he could roughly see that Wang Xu was teasing these troublemakers, so he nodded in cooperation.
"Brother, big brother, we've already eaten, just had some when we arrived, really don't need any more." Tong Yu said sorrowfully, still bowing his head and not daring to look up.
"I know that's just a polite thing to say, you don't like taking advantage of the crowd. Look, it's almost time for dinner, how can I let you go hungry? Since you don't want to take advantage of the crowd, this meal is on me." Wang Xu said, turning back to Bainong Xin: "Uncle Bai, today's opening special, normally free, but since Director Tong is a straightforward person, just give him an 80% discount."
"I understand." Bai Nongxin smiled and nodded, the two words "eighty percent" that Wang Xu said earlier were very heavy, and Bai Nongxin instantly understood that Wang Xu was going to take this opportunity to severely punish these guys.
"Brother, no need for a discount, we'll pay the full price." Tong Yu said hastily. This meal looks like it can't be eaten without paying, but asking for a discount? How dare he? Just consider it a loss to avoid disaster. Obviously, Tong Ke didn't understand the meaning behind Wang Xu's words.
"This won't do, it must be 20% off." Wang Xu waved his hand: "This is not giving me face, Comrade Kezhang. Although my restaurant is small, the consumption is not low. Giving a 20% discount is also considered as having befriended Comrade Kezhang."
"Alright, 20% off is 20% off, brother, I really know I was wrong." Sweat had soaked through the back of Yu Liang's shirt.
"Same courtesy, same courtesy." Wang Xu chuckled and said a sentence, then turned to Bai Nongxin: "Arrange good private rooms for several people from Tongke, prepare the best wine and dishes, I'll go up to toast later."
"Alright." Bai Nong Xin laughed and called over the waiter, leading Tong Yu and several others towards a private room upstairs.
"Brother, we don't need a private room, the main hall is fine." After walking two steps, he turned back to Yu Liang with a pitiful look at Wang Xu.
"This won't do, fellow student, you go first, we'll follow later to pay our respects with wine." Wang Xu said with a wave of his hand.
Watching Yu Liang and several others tremble as they went upstairs, Bai Nongxin looked at Wang Xu and said: "Doctor Wang, is it just going to let these people off so easily?"
"Otherwise, how about this, he left with a bag of leftover rice, and who knows, maybe he'll come back for another bag. There are many people like him all over the country. This time, let's teach him a lesson, I'll tell you when it's time to settle the bill." Wang Xu said with a smile.
"I understand." Bai Nongxin nodded and said, what Wang Xu said made sense. This kind of person, even if sent in, would only be out for a while, and it's not necessarily that another person is upright. Moreover, new faces will come to make trouble again, and without Wang Xu, he can't handle it.
"Haha, Boss Bai is opening for business, you're late, you're late." Wang Xu and Bao Nongxin were chatting when a bright and clear voice came from the entrance, Qiao Bin Kai walked in with big strides.
"Director Qiao, I'm so honored that you've come in person, it's really bringing prosperity to my small shop." Seeing that it was Qiao Bin Kai, Bai Nong Xing and Wang Xu hastily went forward to greet him.
"Boss Bai's restaurant is open, I have to come! You didn't even notify me, now you'll have to drink a few more cups. If I hadn't heard it from the responsible mouth of the shopkeeper, I would have missed this joyful occasion." Qiao Bin Kai said with feigned displeasure.
"It's all my fault, I'll make it up to you later." Bai Nongxin hastily accompanied him, he knew that Qiao Binkai was only looking at Wang Xu's face, if he really didn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth and invited him, others might not recognize him.
Please invite Qiao Bin Kai to take a seat. A few people chatted for a while, and no one came. Bai Nong Xin looked at the time, it was almost 12 o'clock, and he called the kitchen to prepare food while going out with Wang Xu and Qiao Bin Kai to unveil the plaque.
Although there were not many people, after all, the restaurant was opening, and the momentum could not be small. Wang Xu and Qiao Binkai jointly opened the red silk ribbon on the signboard, and Xiangxiang Pavilion was considered open for business.
"Doctor Wang, Director Qiao, there aren't many guests today, just the two of you, so be sure to eat and drink well." Bai Nongxin said warmly after the unveiling.
"This is natural." Qiao Bin Kai nodded, and followed Wang Xu Yang Han into the inside under the invitation of Bai Nong Xin, and sat around a table in the hall without going to the second floor's private room.
The dishes had been prepared in the kitchen, and Bainongxin personally added two more dishes. He brought out some good wine from the store, and the four of them chatted and laughed as they ate, feeling quite carefree.
Wang Xu and a few others were fine, but the people upstairs had bitter faces. Since they sat in the private room, dishes kept coming up one after another, and the large round table was filled with food, but Yu Liang and others didn't have an appetite.
"Same department, I think something's off about that, is that doctor really so kind?" a middle-aged man sitting next to Tong Yu muttered.
"Whether it's good or bad, there's nothing we can do about it. We can only take things one step at a time. If we manage to get through this ordeal, let's just be more honest from now on." Tong Yu sighed and stared at the wine cup in front of him, but he couldn't muster up any enthusiasm to drink.
