The manager’s expression was a little stiff. “Sir, there are many other seats over there, and they are all very good locations.”
“I said, I only want this one,” Jiang Yao Cheng’s expression showed some impatience. “Besides, you should know me, the owner of the Coast Restaurant is my cousin!”
Seeing the manager hesitate, Wen Yan pursed her lips, not wanting to cause trouble for him and make him lose his job over such a small matter.
But just as she was about to get up, her slender hand was suddenly held. A fiery warmth spread, accompanied by the man’s deep, charming voice: “Don’t worry.”
Leng Xun Ze’s cold gaze swept over the manager. The manager felt a chill down his spine and immediately said to Jiang Yao Cheng, “Young Master Jiang, I’m truly sorry, we cannot arbitrarily drive away customers. If you really want this seat, please wait for the next time.”
Li Meng Yao’s face turned cold, and her voice suddenly rose. “Do you want to lose your job? Yao Cheng is one of your investors. Do you believe we can get you fired with just a word?”
The manager’s face was fawning, but he was speechless inside.
So what if he’s an investor? Is that so impressive?
The chairman of this restaurant is right here!
“I apologize, Young Master Jiang,” the manager said.
Li Meng Yao was almost furious with the ignorant manager. She immediately pestered Jiang Yao Cheng to call and have the manager fired. Jiang Yao Cheng also felt he was being disrespectful and immediately called the boss.
“President Feng…” Jiang Yao Cheng briefly explained the situation and demanded the manager be fired.
The manager appeared panicked but felt as steady as an old dog inside.
As expected, not long after, Jiang Yao Cheng’s expression changed.
He hung up the phone with great displeasure, then glanced at Leng Xun Ze and sneered, “Fine, my luck is terrible, isn’t it? Nothing goes smoothly. Someone, smash this place for me!”
Jiang Yao Cheng was already in a bad mood after being fired from a project last time, and now he couldn’t even have a meal?
His bodyguards immediately came forward and directly started to overturn the table.
Aggressively.
Wen Yan’s heart started to beat faster.
These people were too shameless!
Li Meng Yao was still bossing them around, “Smash it, smash everything!”
A pair of hands suddenly grabbed a bodyguard’s wrist with lightning speed. Before everyone could see what happened, the bodyguard was already on the ground.
The remaining bodyguards exchanged a glance, and two of them attacked together!
Leng Xun Ze’s speed was incredibly fast, his punches landed with solid impact. Within seconds, two more bodies lay on the ground.
Wen Yan looked at the man’s back, tall and imposing. For some reason, her heart skipped a beat at that moment.
But it wasn’t out of fear.
The first three men were groaning, and the remaining bodyguards immediately dared not move.
Jiang Yao Cheng cursed.
“Do you know who I am? How dare you hit my people?” Jiang Yao Cheng looked at him arrogantly.
“Who are you, does it matter?” The man’s calm tone sounded as if he were talking about the ants on the ground.
Jiang Yao Cheng was enraged and stepped forward to punch him.
Before the punch landed, his arm was grabbed, twisted, and a bone-cracking pain instantly surged.
“Ah! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!” Jiang Yao Cheng was in so much pain that sweat poured down his forehead.
Leng Xun Ze loosened his grip, and Jiang Yao Cheng immediately fell to the ground.
“Scram!” The single word from above sounded like an emperor’s decree.
Jiang Yao Cheng knew he wouldn’t get away with it today and angrily left a parting shot: “You just wait!”
Then he left in a huff.
Li Meng Yao looked around, gritted her teeth, and said to Wen Yan, “Wen Yan, you dare to offend Young Master Jiang, you’re finished. You won’t have a good life in Hai Cheng from now on!”
After saying that, she quickly followed.
Leng Xun Ze sat back down in his chair. The woman gently held his hand.
There was a small scratch on his skin.
“Minor issue.” Leng Xun Ze didn’t care about such a small injury.
Wen Yan insisted on getting disinfectant swabs and a band-aid from the manager.
After carefully cleaning the wound, she slowly applied the band-aid.
“You’re working at a construction site now, and there’s a lot of dust. If it gets infected, you’ll be the one who suffers,” Wen Yan said softly.
Leng Xun Ze looked at her clear and bright eyes, and his heart inexplicably skipped a beat. He then withdrew his hand and said indifferently, “Let’s eat.”
The dishes were all served.
However, Wen Yan’s mother was very worried. “The Jiang family is a prominent family in Hai Cheng. Xun Ze, if you’ve angered Jiang Yao Cheng now, what if he insists on dealing with you?”
“Mom, it was Jiang Yao Cheng who made the first move. If he insists on retaliating, then we’ll call the police,” Wen Yan pursed her lips, feeling that they had gone too far. “I don’t believe there’s no law in this world!”
“But, that’s the Jiang family.”
“Mom, the Jiang family are people too, and they have to abide by the law. We haven’t done anything wrong, so we’re not afraid of ghosts knocking on our door,” Wen Yan said seriously.
Whatever happened, she would face it together with Leng Xun Ze!
Wen Yan’s mother shook her head and said no more.
After the meal, Wen Yan’s mother still had to return to the Li family. Wen Yan couldn’t stop her, so she could only ask her to call if anything happened.
In the afternoon, Leng Xun Ze went to the construction site.
Wen Yan had planned to look at company websites and submit resumes, but she received a call from the restaurant where she used to work. “Wen Yan, are you free this afternoon? Today is Sunday, and it’s very busy. If you’re free, can you come and work part-time for the afternoon?”
Wen Yan thought she had no urgent matters, so she agreed.
This restaurant was near Leng Xun Ze’s construction site, and it was a relatively high-end restaurant.
Wen Yan arrived, greeted the manager, and then changed into her work attire.
After working for more than two hours, Wen Yan felt the gaze of the newly arrived customers scrutinizing her, making her slightly uncomfortable.
Finally, she delivered a bottle of wine.
“Hey, little girl, help us open it,” a man in his thirties said with a smile.
This address was very rude, but Wen Yan had to smile and open the red wine.
“Pour us a glass,” he said, picking up his wine glass.
Wen Yan poured glass after glass, and suddenly a hand appeared around her waist and began to caress her.
Disgust washed over her. Wen Yan directly shook off the man’s hand and said sternly, “Please be respectful!”
“You’re so pretty, it’s a shame to be a waitress here!” The man wasn’t angry, he looked at her with a smile, his gaze like that of a predator, making Wen Yan very disgusted.
“Then you also know I’m just a waitress. This is a restaurant, and there are important guests coming and going. I don’t think you want to make a scene,” Wen Yan said coldly.
“Oh, you’re quite eloquent. I like your type! How much can you earn working here for a day? Spend a night with me, and I’ll give you this much!” He held up five fingers.
“I’m sorry, I’m not that kind of person!”
Wen Yan turned away, enduring her disgust.
But her hand was grabbed.
The man touched her soft hand, and his heart suddenly fluttered.
Young girls were indeed different!
But the next second, the man’s wrist was suddenly gripped, forcing him to release Wen Yan. Then a “crack” sound echoed, startling even Wen Yan.
She turned back to see the agile and handsome man appear at some unknown time. He shook off the male customer’s hand, and the male customer’s arm hung limply, filled with panic.
“You lunatic! Do you know who I am?” the male customer said angrily and fearfully.
Meeting Leng Xun Ze’s indifferent, dark eyes, he inexplicably felt a palpitation.
