Chapter 133 Are you all just messing with me?!
Because Xu Shiyou was staring at that table, his gaze swept across it.
He could clearly see that in the very center of Li Menghan and Dai Chong's table was a large casserole dish.
Steam was rising from the clay pot.
Xu Shiyou had eaten at this restaurant many times, and he recognized the casserole dish at a glance.
That wasn't anything else at all; it was absolutely a pot of wild quail stew!
Upon seeing this, Xu Shiyou's mind raced.
He immediately understood what had just happened in the private room.
"Damn it!" Xu Shiyou cursed inwardly.
"So, all these people are just messing with me today, huh?! Damn it, it's one thing for Dai Chong to disrespect me, but you, Cao Jiawang, a mere restaurant manager, dare to talk back to me?"
Xu Shiyou now understands completely.
There was absolutely no incident of the kitchen helper tripping and spilling the soup.
Cao Jiawang was lying to him the whole time in the private room.
The truth is that Cao Jiawang served the pot of wild quail soup that he had originally promised to him to Li Menghan's table first!
For Xu Shiyou, this was an utter disgrace.
Xu Shiyou was so angry that his eyes turned red.
He immediately abandoned Xiao Mei, who was standing next to him, without saying a word, and strode towards the front desk.
He was going to confront Cao Jiawang.
Xiao Mei called out to him from behind, but he completely ignored her.
Xu Shiyou walked to the vicinity of the front desk and happened to see Cao Jiawang standing there talking to a waiter.
Xu Shiyou rushed forward, pointed at Cao Jiawang's nose, and gave him a severe dressing-down.
"Cao Jiawang! You have some nerve! You dare to lie to me! Do you think I'm a fool?!"
Cao Jiawang was stunned by Xu Shiyou's sudden outburst of scolding.
He had absolutely no idea what had happened.
Seeing Xu Shiyou's furious face, Cao Jiawang quickly asked:
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, please don't be angry. What exactly happened? Did I do something wrong?"
Xu Shiyou said loudly:
"What happened? Don't you know what you did? You just told me in the private room that the soup was spilled, and then you turned around and gave the wild quail soup I ordered to that kid named Li Menghan sitting over there in the main hall! Do you think I, Xu Shiyou, am easy to bully?"
Cao Jiawang was even more dumbfounded when he heard Xu Shiyou say that.
He thought about it for a moment.
Who is Li Menghan? He doesn't know anyone named Li Menghan at all.
However, after listening to Xu Shiyou explain the cause and effect and pointing in the direction of the hall,
Cao Jiawang looked in the direction Xu Shiyou was referring to, and he could easily guess that it was the boy named Li Menghan that Xu Shiyou was talking about.
That must be the top-tier rich kid who just drove over in that 50 million yuan Ferrari LaFerrari.
Cao Jiawang sighed inwardly, knowing that this matter could no longer be kept secret.
He could only pull Xu Shiyou to a less crowded area and quickly explain the truth to him:
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, please let me explain. This really isn't my fault; it's a misunderstanding."
"Actually, the last serving of wild quail soup was ordered in advance by the customers at the table in the main hall that afternoon. One of my managers made a mistake and told me that there was a spare pot of soup in the kitchen."
"That's why I agreed to serve you when I greeted you at the door. But when I went to the kitchen, I found that there was only one pot left, and it was already pre-ordered. I had no choice but to return the soup to them."
After Cao Jiawang finished speaking, he looked at Xu Shiyou very sincerely.
But Xu Shiyou is in a fit of anger right now, so how could he possibly accept such an explanation?
Xu Shiyou completely ignored what Cao Jiawang said.
He felt that Cao Jiawang was favoring Li Menghan.
Xu Shiyou said loudly:
"I'm not listening to your nonsense! You agreed to give it to me first, so it's mine! Where do you put my reputation as Xu Shiyou? You have to give me an explanation today, or this isn't over!"
Seeing that Xu Shiyou was truly relentless, Cao Jiawang knew that unless he offered some real money as a show of sincerity, the problem wouldn't be resolved today.
Cao Jiawang gritted his teeth and, in an attempt to quell the matter, spoke first:
"Mr. Xu, I'm so sorry. How about this, to express our deepest apologies, I'll waive all the expenses for your dinner in the private room tonight. You won't have to pay a single penny. Is that alright?"
When Xu Shiyou heard Cao Jiawang say he would give him a free meal, he was not only not appeased, but felt even more insulted.
He stared wide-eyed at Cao Jiawang and said angrily:
"You're giving me a free meal? Do I look like someone who's short of your money?"
"You're waiving my bill? Do you think I can't afford this meal? Who are you trying to look down on?!"
For a wealthy second-generation like Xu Shiyou who values his reputation, offering a free meal is tantamount to slapping him in the face.
What he needs is respect from others, not a meal given to him.
Xu Shiyou grew angrier the more he thought about it.
He turned his head and glanced again at Li Menghan, who was sitting in the booth by the window.
He felt that the real culprit behind all the things that happened today, causing him to lose face twice in a row, was Li Menghan.
If it weren't for Li Menghan, Dai Chong would have had dinner with him that night; if it weren't for Li Menghan, that pot of soup would have appeared on his table.
Xu Shiyou made a silent vow in his heart.
He felt that he absolutely could not let Li Menghan, this poor kid, dampen his spirits again today.
He had to teach Li Menghan a lesson and show her the consequences of offending him.
Xu Shiyou took out his phone, found a name in his contacts, and dialed a number.
After the call connected, Xu Shiyou spoke to the person on the other end of the phone in a very harsh tone:
"Hey, Tiger. Gather a dozen or so men right now, grab your weapons, and come find me at the Xiting Restaurant over East Lake. Hurry!"
……
After making the call, Xu Shiyou put his phone back in his pocket.
He didn't rush over to cause trouble for Li Menghan immediately.
Xu Shiyou was a man who couldn't tolerate the slightest injustice and was indeed very impatient.
However, he himself also understood a very important principle.
That is, never act impulsively without absolute confidence.
If I rush over to fight now and fail to defeat Li Menghan, wouldn't I be even more embarrassed?
However, once you have enough confidence, you can call in enough helpers.
So, if you act impulsively at this point, things become much simpler.
All he has to do now is stand here and wait quietly.
