Chapter 268: Chapter 268: The 1000 Yuan Debt
Seeing that his underlings still didn’t understand and kept asking, Qin Tian couldn’t help but want to slap each one of them.
But in front of Wang Yan, he didn’t dare, and he couldn’t reveal that the waiter was the big boss of the group either. Holding it in for a while, he finally shouted, “The waiter works so hard, can’t you have some sympathy? And you have the face to sit here waiting to eat.”
After talking for a long time, Qin Tian noticed his underlings still sitting there dumbfounded, mouths agape, completely missing his point.
Qin Tian was at a loss for words and cursed, “Damn it, I’ve said so much, and you still don’t hurry to serve the dishes.”
These words from Qin Tian were much more effective than lecturing them dozens of times. You could see those underlings immediately stand up in a rush, scrambling to run to the kitchen.
At this moment, Tang Jingyi was carrying two plates over and came face to face with these seven or eight underlings.
Seeing all these esteemed guests rushing over, Tang Jingyi didn’t know what they were up to and quickly stopped to ask, “Please don’t rush, the dishes will be ready soon.”
These seven or eight underlings stood in front of Tang Jingyi, quickly turning back to look at Qin Tian. One of them asked, “Boss, we know the waiter works hard, but what about this waitress?”
Qin Tian shouted, “Don’t you have any compassion? Seeing a big… a beautiful lady working so hard and you still ask whether to help?”
The underlings, upon hearing this, hurriedly snatched the two plates from Tang Jingyi’s hands, saying, “I’ll take them, I’ll take them.”
Tang Jingyi had no idea what was happening and quickly said, “No need, I can do it myself, I can do it myself.”
However, how could Tang Jingyi compete with seven or eight strong men? In a blink, the two plates in her hands were taken away.
The bald boss also heard the commotion and came rushing over. Seeing Qin Tian and others personally serving dishes, he was shocked and repeatedly apologized, “I apologize, Boss Qin, I didn’t take good care of you. Please sit down, I’ll expedite serving the dishes.”
After that, the bald boss was going to turn and reprimand Tang Jingyi.
Qin Tian immediately stopped the bald boss and said, “It has nothing to do with her; we just want to serve ourselves.”
With that, Qin Tian led a few underlings and immediately ran to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
The bald boss tried to stop them, but couldn’t. He had no choice but to follow Qin Tian, running around to help serve.
It was a scene of nine people, including Qin Tian and the bald boss, hustling to serve dishes, while the two waiters, who should have been serving, leisurely stood by.
Wang Yan remained calm, not showing any expression, while Tang Jingyi couldn’t hide her astonishment, standing there with her mouth agape, watching the scene she’d never seen before.
Finally, all the dishes were served.
Qin Tian’s underlings were panting heavily.
One of them seemed to grasp something, approached Qin Tian with a grin, and said, “Boss Qin, should we continue to show our compassion by helping in the kitchen too?”
This person thought he had finally flattered Qin Tian, but Qin Tian glared at him and said, “Cook? You think you can cook anything edible? Go back to your meal.”
This underling got shut down, but he greatly admired Qin Tian: “The boss is indeed the boss, utterly unpredictable.”
As Qin Tian and the others returned to the table to eat, Tang Jingyi finally returned to normal. Deeply moved, she said, “Wang Yan, they’re really good people, so compassionate. I’m so touched.”
Wang Yan almost laughed but held it back, nodding continuously, “Yes, yes, there are indeed more good people in this world.”
As the two spoke, suddenly the door opened, and three men walked in.
You could see these three young men, all in their twenties, with red and yellow dyed hair, wearing flamboyantly colorful clothes; from afar, they looked like walking feather dusters.
Moreover, these three men staggered as they entered, looking as if they had already consumed quite a bit of alcohol.
Seeing these three men, Tang Jingyi’s face changed, and she whispered in shock, “Those scoundrels are back again.”
It seemed Tang Jingyi already knew these three men.
One of the men with red hair spotted Tang Jingyi and walked towards her with a sly smile.
Walking towards her, the red-haired man laughed, “Beauty, I’m back. Can you come with me today, go home with big brother? I promise you’ll have the good life, why suffer here? If you don’t come with me today, I’ll take you by force.”
With that, the red-haired man staggered towards Tang Jingyi, reaching to grab her.
Although Tang Jingyi quickly hid behind Wang Yan, the red-haired man didn’t care about the waiter standing in front; he was about to bypass Wang Yan to grab Tang Jingyi.
Just as the red-haired man reached Wang Yan, Wang Yan extended his leg, pointed his toe, and the red-haired man lunged forward, “thud,” landing on the ground.
The red-haired man exclaimed “ouch,” scrambled to get up.
His nose was squashed, and two streams of nosebleed trickled down.
This angered the red-haired man, who jumped up, yelling at Wang Yan, “You dare to trip me, guys, get him.”
Saying that, the red-haired man glanced around, grabbed a chair, and charged at Wang Yan.
The other two men also picked up chairs, ready to smash them over Wang Yan.
Yet, Wang Yan just stood there, looking at the three men, eyes cold and sinister.
Seeing the three men about to break things in his store, the bald boss, who had been watching, rushed over, raised his arms to stop them, and smiled, “Gentlemen, it’s a small business, we can’t afford the damage.”
Seeing Wang Yan’s icy expression, the red-haired man hesitated inside. Seeing the bald boss in the way, he took the opportunity to back off, saying, “Alright, I’ll give you face this time, now go make Tang Jingyi come with me. Or else… you know who I am, you should know the consequences.”
The bald boss immediately said, “Alright, alright, don’t worry, I’ll make her go with you right away.”
With that, the bald boss walked up to Tang Jingyi, furiously saying, “You’re such a troublemaker, bringing this onto us. If they break anything in my store, you could never pay it off even if you worked your whole life. Tang Jingyi, go with the young masters now, understand?”
At this point, Tang Jingyi was already terrified, hiding behind Wang Yan, shaking her head repeatedly, “No, no.”
The bald boss coldly said, “Hmph, Tang Jingyi, don’t forget, when your sickly father was hospitalized, I lent you a thousand yuan, and you haven’t paid it back. If you don’t go now, don’t blame me for collecting the debt.”
Hearing this, Wang Yan’s face grew darker. He snorted coldly and said, “Ridiculous, would you really push Tang Jingyi into the fire for a thousand yuan?”
