The door to the private room opened, and three men and one woman barged in, followed by a female server with an anxious look on her face.
“You people, get out!”
The person who spoke was a tall, fat man with a hairstyle that was parted in the middle and swept to both sides. He looked to be under fifty years old, and his air of authority was extremely obvious.
Everyone in the room was stunned, not understanding what was going on.
At a glance, Lin Hao spotted two familiar faces. One was Han Gaofei, who had an honest and simple appearance, and the other was a girl with a ponytail, dressed in a flashy outfit. It was none other than Han Gaofei’s student, Ma Shuang.
Wu Xiaozhou’s words had been interrupted, and he looked displeased. “Who the hell are you?”
“Who are you talking to?” The tall fat man’s greasy face became even uglier. “Watch your mouth!”
Lin Hao stood up. “Sir, may I ask why you want us to leave?”
Only then did Han Gaofei and Ma Shuang notice Lin Hao. The two exchanged a glance, and their expressions turned somewhat unpleasant.
The tall fat man ignored Lin Hao and pointed at the female server. “Go call your boss over. Hurry!”
“Yes!”
Seeing that these people were not ones she could offend, the female server quickly ran out.
Lin Hao looked at Han Gaofei with a smile at the corner of his mouth and politely greeted him.
“Teacher Han, hello!”
The tall fat man was stunned. He had not expected these people to know his daughter’s professional teacher. Could it be that this was just a misunderstanding?
So he turned to look at Han Gaofei as well.
Han Gaofei did not pay attention to Lin Hao. Instead, he stepped forward two paces and lowered his voice.
“It’s this kid who took Shuang’s spot in the competition!”
“What?”
The tall fat man instantly became furious.
Over these past few years, for the sake of his daughter, he had spent quite a bit of money on this Teacher Han.
For this competition, he had even specifically given Teacher Han twenty thousand yuan. At the time, Teacher Han had agreed very readily at the dinner table.
He never expected that in the end, her spot would still be taken by someone else. It was said that the person had a very strong connection and was even a student of the department head. It seemed that person must have spent no less money!
Although Han Gaofei had eventually returned the money, how could he possibly have the face to take it back? So Han Gaofei repeatedly insisted on treating him to a meal to apologize, which was how today’s dinner came about.
Today, he had been delayed by a meeting, which was why he arrived so late. He never expected that the private room Han Gaofei had booked in advance would actually be occupied by someone else. How could he not be angry?
If it weren’t because this restaurant was close to his daughter’s school and Han Gaofei was paying, Ma Baoguo would never step into a restaurant of this level under normal circumstances!
Ma Shuang crossed her arms, her face frosty, and glared at Lin Hao. The tall fat man, Ma Baoguo, turned his head to look at him.
“Get lost!”
A furious shout burst from Ma Baoguo’s mouth.
“Fuck your mother—!”
Wu Xiaozhou was not the type to tolerate such behavior. He stood up, pointed at him, and started cursing.
Behind Ma Baoguo stood a man around thirty years old with an extremely burly build. When he heard Wu Xiaozhou swearing, his eyebrows immediately shot up.
Bai Zhitao tightly grabbed Wu Xiaozhou with both hands, afraid he would rush over. Wu Xiaozhou reached out and grabbed a bottle of beer from the table. Although it was a full unopened bottle, it did not affect his performance at all.
Bai Zhitao managed to pull onto his clothes, but she could not stop his hand. The bottle of Harbin beer had already flown out.
Lin Hao could not help but smile.
This kid must have had some kind of grudge against beer bottles in his previous life. Every time he got into a fight, he threw one!
The four people standing at the doorway hurriedly dodged.
With a loud “bang!”, the beer bottle smashed against the doorframe, and beer foam spilled all over the floor.
The man behind Ma Baoguo rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush over. At this moment, Gao Laoda, Yan Xiaoqi, Cui Gang, and the others also stood up one after another.
As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. Seeing so many young men, that man couldn’t help but grow timid.
Just then, a burst of laughter came from outside the door.
“Ah, isn’t this a great honor? Look who has graced us with his presence!”
A middle-aged man wearing a colorful checkered casual suit entered the room with a smile.
Ma Baoguo had been frightened by the beer bottle just now, and his heart was still pounding. Hearing someone call out to him, he turned around with an ugly expression.
“Boss Li, looks like you don’t want to keep your restaurant open anymore!” Ma Baoguo looked at the man who entered, his voice full of threat.
Then he turned to the man beside him and said, “Dajun, call the police!”
Anyone who could climb to his position wasn’t an idiot!
As the saying went, a wise man avoided unnecessary losses. He knew very well that if things really turned into a fight, his few men would definitely be at a disadvantage against this table full of young guys.
Boss Li glanced at the beer and broken glass scattered all over the floor, then looked at Lin Hao and the others. He immediately understood what had happened.
With an awkward expression, he said, “I’m sorry, but the agreed time has already passed by almost two hours. The front desk…”
Ma Baoguo raised his hand and stopped him.
“Don’t give me excuses. Couldn’t you have called the person who reserved the table?”
Boss Li was speechless. What the other party said wasn’t wrong. The front desk staff had indeed lacked experience.
But regardless of who was right or wrong, today it had to be the restaurant’s fault. After all, this man was in charge of the city’s health and epidemic prevention department. To all the restaurants in the city, he was practically a god.
Boss Li owned four hotpot restaurants in Xuecheng. He had hosted this big shot twice before, and during festivals he had never held back on giving him expensive cigarettes and alcohol. So the two of them were at least familiar with each other.
This hotpot restaurant was his fourth branch. Around the Art Academy area, it was considered high-end, but compared to the entire Xuecheng, it was nothing.
He really couldn’t understand why this big shot had come here today. What bad luck.
Fortunately, these were just students. That made things easier to handle.
“Yes, yes, it’s our fault. This is all our fault!”
Boss Li nodded repeatedly, apologizing.
Then he turned toward Lin Hao and the others.
“Students, I’m really sorry. There are still seats downstairs. How about you move there? Tonight I’ll give you 30% off! Please understand, please understand!”
Lin Hao smiled.
“Boss, I don’t care what the reason is. Since your restaurant decided to let us come here, then you have no reason to kick us out now.”
After saying that, he pointed at Ma Baoguo.
“They’re customers. Aren’t we customers too?”
Ma Baoguo’s fat face turned gloomy.
“Damn it, you really don’t know what’s good for you! All of you get the hell out!”
“Fuck your mother…”
Wu Xiaozhou was about to throw another beer bottle, but when he turned around, he found that the two bottles of beer in front of him had already been moved away by Bai Zhitao.
“Clap, clap, clap!”
Applause came from outside the door.
A deep male voice rang out.
“Dominating! Truly domineering!”
“Fuck! Who is it? Show yourself instead of hiding like a coward!”
Ma Baoguo cursed immediately. He was already furious because of his daughter’s matter. A few days ago, he had even tried using connections to find Director Fan Gang of the Music Department, but he hadn’t expected that this guy was someone who refused to bend no matter what pressure was applied.
Tonight, he had encountered another irritating situation while eating. How could he possibly hold back after hearing someone mocking him from outside?
“Oh? So you’re even cursing me now?”
As he spoke, a man and a woman walked inside.
The man looked around thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old. He wore a perfectly tailored dark blue suit. His temperament was refined, his face fair and slightly thin, and he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
The woman was tall and slender. She wore casual clothes and pants, with a red soft leather casual bag slung diagonally across her body. There were no visible brand logos on her, but anyone could tell the items on her were expensive.
She wore a pair of large sunglasses, so her exact appearance couldn’t be seen. From her figure, one could only vaguely guess that she was around thirty years old.
Lin Hao recognized her at a glance.
The woman was Qin Ruoyun.
He gave a bitter smile in his heart.
Why did everything have to happen at the same time?
