Chapter 376 Ashes to Ashes!
"This is just too obsequious to foreigners, isn't it? Nowadays, some people look like they're standing up straight, but their spines are still soft."
"I kind of regret coming to their restaurant today. If my friends find out, they'll definitely mock me for having no taste!"

"Damn it! I just charged ten thousand for a membership at their place! FML! I want a refund!"
The onlookers formed a circle, and they were extremely disgusted with what the female manager had done. These foreigners were merely standing there, yet this woman had willingly betrayed the spirit of the contract and handed over the private room on a platter, calling her a "lickspittle" wasn't an exaggeration at all!
Dammit!
If it were me, I would have flipped the table by now!
The female manager had not expected the situation to escalate this much. After all, their restaurant had always positioned itself as a high-end brand, catering to business elites, and for businessmen, the spirit of the contract was paramount—it was their very foundation!
If all these people decided to cancel their memberships, the consequences for her...
She'd probably be torn to pieces by the boss...
With this in mind, the female manager decided she couldn't let Si Ming continue speaking. She shouted hoarsely at the security guards standing by the entrance, who were just watching the show: "What are you doing?! Don't you see there's a disturbance here!!! If you don't kick them out now, then you can all get lost!!!"
The head of security crossed his arms and spoke indifferently: "I've long since been fed up with you, woman, what a piece of work, pah!"
Now that the head of security had spoken, the rest of the guards, holding onto the idea of just watching the show, had no intention of stepping in to help.
Upon hearing this, the female manager was livid with rage. Others looked down on her because they were elites, but who the hell did these bums think they were to also disdain her!
She broke free from Si Ming's grasp and stormed over to the head of security, raising her hand and delivering a slap!
"Slap!"
Everyone around was stunned, even the head of the security team hadn't expected this woman to be so crazy!
"You little scumbag! When I was out mingling, you were still wetting your pants and playing with mud! You dare to show me attitude? Do you have the guts for that? From today on, you're fired from this restaurant! And don't even think about getting this month's salary!"
The female manager pointed viciously at the head of security's nose, looking every part the termagant.
"Why are so many people gathered around?"
A voice came from the entrance of the restaurant: "Excuse me, let me through, I want to see what's going on."
The crowd showed a look of schadenfreude when they saw who was approaching.
A middle-aged man in a suit approached the crowd with a puzzled look. On seeing him, the female manager's expression immediately turned to one of grievance.
"Boss~ wuwuwu, these people are causing trouble, they lifted me into the air and threatened to beat me, a single woman, and these security guards won't do their jobs, just standing by watching the show. I'm so aggrieved..."
Wow, really???
The crowd exchanged glances; the tone, the expression, this pair had something going on!
Gossip is in everyone's nature, and these million-dollar-a-year business elites were no exception.
"Alright now, there are so many people here."
Watching the female manager sobbing in his arms, the owner of the restaurant was also at a loss. Although the woman's appearance couldn't compare to those beauty pageant contestants, she excelled in other 'skills' that made him linger and forget to return home.
So he had placed her in the position of the restaurant manager, as a way to bewitch the tigress at home.

But today his mother tiger of a wife was off traveling with her girlfriends abroad! He felt like a bird released from its cage, immediately drove to the restaurant, waiting for it to close so he could take his mistress out for a wild night!
But who could have expected to see such a scene upon arrival!Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"I paid you to maintain order, not to loaf around! Since Manager Bi has deemed you unqualified, you're fired!"
After placating the woman, the restaurant owner sternly said to the security guards, "As for whether you've neglected your duties, our corporate lawyers will be discussing that with you in detail!"
"Boss..."
"Shut up! No matter what happens, you must prioritize following your superiors' instructions! If there's trouble, you need to perform your role, not stand around gawking! Where do you put us customers? Let me tell you, not only will you not receive this month's wages, I will also have our lawyers pursue your responsibility for damaging the restaurant's brand!"
With righteous indignation, the restaurant owner continued his speech while the woman in his arms twisted and turned, making him agitated and impatient to finish up and leave with this woman...
"Ladies and gentlemen, I, Wu, deeply apologize for today's incident. All of tonight's dining costs will be on the house. I hope everyone can enjoy a wonderful evening from here on out."
It must be said, the restaurant owner's business tactic was quite crafty, as the night's dining revenue was trivial compared to the network of connections these patrons represented!
However, the usually effective strategy seemed to have no effect today.
The crowd around continued to stand in place, enjoying the spectacle.
"Wu, I really can't accept your restaurant's money, I find it dirty. We're friends, so I can't be bothered to get a refund for my card balance, here's your card back, goodbye."
An elder gently placed a VIP membership card on the table before leaving with his family.
This was the old chairman of the Mao Industry Group, with a net worth of over a hundred billion!
At this moment, Boss Wu was utterly dumbfounded. What was going on! He had always had a good relationship with the elder, what had gotten into him today!
Following the elder's lead, the others also began leaving their membership cards on the table and departed.
This meant that the restaurant's years of cultivated connections had all gone up in smoke in a single day!
This was a significant blow to Boss Wu!
He looked down at the woman in his arms, bewildered, and asked incredulously, "They... they all left? And what does 'dirty' mean? Is there something you've been hiding from me?"
"No... how could I dare to hide anything from you..."
The woman, on the verge of tears, said, "Do you even distrust me now? Fine, then I'll leave!"
As the woman turned to leave, Boss Wu quickly grabbed her wrist and soothed her, "I was just asking casually! Why do you take it so seriously? Alright, alright, after work, I'll take you to a five-star hotel for supper."
After all the commotion, the once crowded restaurant was now left with only Song Yun and his group, as well as the foreigners standing still.
"I apologise, I've just arrived and haven't got the full picture yet, please leave as well," Wu said diplomatically.
"Boss Wu, are you asking me to leave?"
With a dark expression, Si Ming stepped out of the private room and asked coldly.
Seeing Si Ming's face, Boss Wu broke out in a cold sweat down his back.
