Chapter 390 Embarrassing
Han Chunsong approved of the sister-in-law's proposal. He thought that since Suning was so rich, there was nothing wrong with him eating and drinking for free. Instead, it was a way of showing respect for Suning. Then the couple started to do it after they talked about it.

Han Chunsong and his whole family went out together and went straight to Zaihui Building in Chaoyangmen. Then they ordered a large table of Sichuan cuisine. The whole family ate to their heart's content.

"waiter!"

"Hello! Is there anything you need?" A waitress came over with a smile.

"No more! Let's settle the score!"

"Hello! Your total spending today is eighteen dollars."

"Ah? So many? Maybe you calculated it wrong?" Han Chunsong and his wife widened their eyes in surprise.

"Hello, here is the bill. Since you all ordered our specialties, we won't make any mistakes."

"Okay! Please pack up the leftovers for us." Thinking that she didn't have to pay for it anyway, the sister-in-law instructed the waiter.

"OK, just a second!"

The waiters were very quick and the service was excellent, a very rare level in the early 1980s. Even the demanding sister-in-law and Han Chunsong were quite satisfied.

"Hello, the food you need to pack is ready. It costs eighteen dollars in total."

"Little sister, you must not know us?" The sister-in-law picked her teeth and looked at the waitress in front of her with a squint.

"Ah? I have never seen you before." The waiter shook his head in confusion.

"Well, it's useless to tell you that." The sister-in-law said to the waitress disdainfully, "Send your boss over here."

"Ah? Okay! Please wait a moment!" The waiter was confused, but still served very politely, "I'll go get our store manager."

"Hurry up! We have to hurry home to watch TV."

"Huh? Okay!"

After a while, the female store manager who had returned to the building came over with a puzzled look on her face, then looked at Han Chunsong and his family with a smile, "Hello, I am the store manager of this restaurant.

Is there anything else you need?"

"Well, is Li Chengtao here? Let him come out to see us!"

"I'm sorry! Our general manager doesn't usually visit the store in person."

"What? Our Han family hired him to work, but he is not in the store every day. Ask him if he still wants to work?" The sister-in-law looked at the female manager angrily.

"Huh? Who are you?" The female store manager was also confused by the arrogance of Han Chunsong's family.

"Hmph! I am the sister-in-law of your boss Han Chunming, and they are Han Chunming's elder brother and nephew." The sister-in-law introduced herself very arrogantly.

"Ah? Excuse me!"

"Okay! We won't make things difficult for you! Let your boss Han Chunming pay for today's meal another day." After saying this, the sister-in-law was about to get up and leave.

"Ah? Please wait a moment. I'll call our CEO Li first."

"Well, hurry up! We still have to go home to watch TV!" My sister-in-law looked impatient.

"Okay! Very quickly!"

The female store manager quickly ran to the front desk and called Li Chengtao. When Li Chengtao answered the phone, he was completely confused by Han Chunsong and his wife. "Manager Yu, please ask my brother to answer the phone so I can confirm his identity."

"Yes! Mr. Li!"

"Hello! Mr. Han, please answer the phone. Our General Manager Li needs to confirm his identity." Manager Yu returned to Han Chunsong again and asked him to answer the phone.

"Hmph! What a trouble!" Han Chunsong and his sister-in-law looked at each other and said impatiently.

Han Chunsong followed the female store manager to the front desk, picked up the phone, and said arrogantly, "Hello! Is this Taozi?"

"It's me! Big brother, are you going back upstairs to eat?"

"Yes! The waiter actually asked me to pay. I ate my own meal and I had to pay. What's going on?"

"Huh? Big brother is right! Please give the phone to the store manager and I will talk to them."

"Looking for you!" Han Chunsong proudly handed the phone to the female store manager.

The female store manager said yes a few times on the phone, then looked at Han Chunsong with a forced smile, "Sorry, Mr. Han, you can leave now!"

"Hmph! Keep your eyes open next time! Don't cause so much trouble!"

"."

Looking at the arrogant Han Chunsong family, all the employees in Zai Hui Lou felt very uncomfortable. In fact, their consumption this time was not free of charge, because there was no such thing as free of charge in the true sense in Zai Hui Lou. Instead, Li Chengtao helped to pay for it.

Guan Xiaoguan looked at Li Chengtao, who had hung up the phone, in confusion, "Mr. Li, who's calling?"

"Manager Yu, who came back to the building, said that Han Chunming's elder brother, Han Chunsong, had gone back to the building to eat."

"Oh! Is it that Han Chunsong doesn't want to pay?"

"Ah? Mr. Guan, how did you know that?" Li Chengtao widened his eyes in surprise.

"Tsk! This is why I look down on some people. They love to take advantage of others." Guan Xiaoguan said with great disdain.

"Chunming's elder brother is my elder brother, so I can only help pay the bill myself." Li Chengtao explained indifferently.

"Humph! This family has already tasted the sweetness and will keep coming here in the future. I wonder how much salary Mr. Li can afford to pay for them."

"Huh? That shouldn't be the case!" Li Chengtao also became a little scared.

"Haha, if you don't believe me, let's wait and see!" Guan Xiaoguan said and went straight to reconcile the accounts.

At this time, Li Chengtao was also overwhelmed by the lawsuit and felt that he had suffered an unexpected disaster. Because Yuebin Catering was very formal from the beginning, there was no free meal or anything like that for small restaurants. At most, there were discounts or free dishes. So Li Chengtao solved the problem by putting the bill on himself.

When I think about what Guan Xiaoguan predicted, if the Han family does this often in the future, it will be a huge trouble. No one can handle such a magical operation.

What happened next was just as Guan Xiaoguan had expected. After having tasted the sweetness of free food and drinks for the first time, Han Chunsong's family took turns eating and drinking in four restaurants every day.

Now all the employees of the four restaurants have known Han Chunsong's family. When they saw Han Chunsong's family coming again, they secretly showed disdainful expressions. However, Li Chengtao always paid the bill, so the employees did not have any major opinions except for being a little unhappy. Han Chunming did not know about this matter for the time being.

Seeing Li Chengtao being tortured to death by the big appetite of Han Chunsong's family, Guan Xiaoguan felt very disdainful. She hated this kind of "goodbye, good for everyone" "idiot" the most. In the original drama, the two got together after a long time of getting along, but now Guan Xiaoguan could not find any advantages in Li Chengtao.

"What? You can't handle it anymore?"

"Huh? This isn't the big brother I know!" Li Chengtao was also filled with regret at this time. He didn't expect Han Chunsong's family to be so excessive. "Why did he suddenly become like this?"

"Tsk! That's because you didn't understand him at all before. Look, Han Chunming didn't bother to pay attention to his brothers and sisters."

"Boss Guan, what do you think I should do?"

"It's simple! Just tell Han Chunming. He's his relative after all, so he should handle it himself."

"Ah? That's not good!"

"Haha, whatever you want! If you don't want to, then just continue to help pay."

"Guan Xiaoguan, you must have other ways. Can you please help me?" Li Chengtao knew that Guan Xiaoguan must have other ways, so he looked at Guan Xiaoguan with a pleading look.

"Haha, you're not that stupid. You even asked for my advice." Guan Xiaoguan glanced at Li Chengtao complacently. "The solution is actually very simple. Do you remember Meng Xiaoxing, the former foreman of Cha Piaoxiang?"

"Meng Xiaoxing? Isn't she the lobby manager at Jin Changsheng now?"

"Yes! As long as she knows what Han Chunsong did, the rest of the Han family will know, and then Han Chunming will know soon too."

"Ah? Then how do we let Meng Xiaoxing know?" "Idiot!" Guan Xiaoguan couldn't understand Li Chengtao's stubbornness. "Meng Xiaoxing has always been close to Liu Chen, the waitress at Cha Piaoxiang. They often interact with each other. You can call Liu Chen over and give her a fifty-yuan bribe. Then things will become very simple."

"Ah? Haha, why didn't I think of that!" Li Chengtao was immediately surprised when he heard Guan Xiaoguan's method. "Guan Xiaoguan, you are really smart. You really deserve to be Grandpa Guan's granddaughter!"

"Humph! Seeing how stupid you are, I'll take care of the matter of finding Liu Chen!"

"Thank you, Mr. Guan!"

Guan Xiaoguan looked at the clumsy Li Chengtao and shook his head helplessly, then left the office and went to Chapiaoxiang to operate. This little trick was a piece of cake for Guan Xiaoguan. It was easy for Meng Xiaoxing to know about this matter, and prevent everyone from knowing Guan Xiaoguan and Li Chengtao behind the scenes.

When Meng Xiaoxing learned about this, she didn't think it was a big deal. After all, the four restaurants were all owned by Han Chunming, and it was nothing for Han Chunming's elder brother to eat and drink for free. But she was a little surprised to hear that Li Chengtao came out to pay.

Meng Xiaoxing immediately found the second brother, Han Chunsheng, and asked, "Second brother, do you know that the eldest brother often eats at the restaurant of the fifth brother now?"

"Ah? Where did he get so much money?"

"Second brother, it's not like he needs money from the eldest brother. He eats and drinks for free every time."

"What? Xiao Xing, what's going on?"

"Second brother, this is what happened. When the eldest brother and his family went out to eat, they didn't pay at all, and then Taozi would help him pay the bill."

"Ah? Why is Li Chengtao helping big brother so much?"

"Tsk! Just flattering Brother Wuzi!" Meng Xiaoxing looked very disdainful.

"No! I'll also take your second sister-in-law and your nephew to eat tomorrow."

"Huh? Second brother is absolutely right!"

The number of people who came to eat for free suddenly grew, catching the masterminds Guan Xiaoguan and Li Chengtao off guard. Unexpectedly, Meng Xiaoxing did not tell Han Chunming or Han's mother the news.

"Boss Guan, what should we do now?"

"Huh?" Guan Xiaoguan had never met such a "genius" before, and would compare and imitate everything he did. "I don't know now."

The four restaurants were in a mess because of Han Chunsong and Han Chunsheng. Many employees of Yuebin Catering were very dissatisfied with them, but they had no way to do anything, after all, they were all relatives of the boss.

Su Meng has been spending a lot of time recently attracting customers for her uncle, whether they are colleagues from the Education Bureau or tourists from tour groups, making Jin Changsheng's business extremely booming.

But Su Meng was not happy, because she found that the business of the Jupengyou Restaurant across the street was not affected. Instead, it seemed to be even more popular than before, which was completely contrary to her original intention.

Su Meng's uncle saw that Su Meng looked unhappy, and then he looked at Su Meng with a smile, "Meng Meng, your uncle's business is so good now, why do you still look unhappy?"

"Uncle, why hasn't the business of the Juyoupeng Restaurant across the street been affected at all?"

"Silly child, customers like to eat in groups." Looking at Su Meng's puzzled expression, his uncle explained with a smile, "For example, in Hong Kong, there are many restaurants along the street. Customers like to eat there, so naturally, every restaurant is very popular.

Plus, Jupengyou Restaurant already has a group of regular customers, so of course business will get better and better.”

"Ah? How could this happen?"

"Mengmeng, the capital is huge! China is huge too!" Looking at the disappointed Su Meng, the uncle said with deep emotion, "It's impossible for one person to handle all the business. So if Juyoupeng Restaurant is to have no business, it must be because they have internal problems."

After hearing his uncle's explanation and analysis, Su Meng showed a thoughtful expression. He felt that doing business was also a great business, which contained a lot of wisdom.

"Mengmeng, your uncle will take care of the business. Just work hard at the Education Bureau."

"Yes, I will, uncle."

Suning seldom comes to the four restaurants. Today he was at the museum receiving a batch of newly purchased antiques, so he was busy and had not eaten yet. Then Suning came to Jupengyou Restaurant in person to order some Shandong cuisine.

However, as soon as he entered the Jupengyou Restaurant, he saw Han Chunsong's family and Han Chunsheng's family sitting in the hall eating separately. Suning did not go forward to say hello, but called the manager of the Jupengyou Restaurant.

"Manager Lin, what's going on with my eldest and second brothers?"

"Uh?"

"It's okay! You don't need to hide it from me." Seeing Manager Lin's concerns, Su Ning smiled indifferently.

"Boss, they've been coming to Juyoupeng Restaurant to eat a lot lately, and they don't pay. It's always Mr. Li who picks up the bill."

"Oh? Are they just here to get together with friends, or are they going to the other three restaurants as well?"

"Huh? Go all the way! Every time I order the most expensive specialties, I order a lot, and take away the leftovers." Manager Lin gave a wry smile, "And..."

"Is my attitude towards you very bad?"

"Yes!"

"Manager Lin, I apologize to you on behalf of my eldest brother and the others. I'm sorry!"

"Ah? Boss, please don't say that."

"Haha, leave it to me! I'll take care of it!"

Suning calmed the excited Manager Lin, then walked straight to Han Chunsong and Han Chunsheng who were eating, "Brother, second brother, is the food in my restaurant delicious?"

"Ah? Chunming?" Han Chunsong and Han Chunsheng both had guilty expressions.

The eldest sister-in-law was very calm, looking at Su Ning without any nervousness or shame, and even greeted Su Ning shamelessly, "Xiao Wuzi, you haven't eaten yet, right?
Sit down and eat together!"

Su Ning was too lazy to pay attention to this smart-aleck woman, and just looked at the two brothers Han Chunsong and Han Chunsheng, "Brother, second brother, come with me to the third floor now, I have an office here."

Of course, Suning couldn't let the two brothers embarrass themselves in public, and very politely went to the office to resolve the issue.

Following Suning to the office on the third floor, Han Chunsong and Han Chunsheng were both very nervous. This was the invisible pressure brought by money and status. This was simply impossible before. After all, the concept that the eldest brother is like a father is deeply rooted in people's minds.

"Manager Lin, could you please pour a glass of water for me and my two brothers?"

"Okay! Boss!"

Manager Lin quickly brought the tea, then tactfully closed the door and left. When there were only three brothers left in the office again, Suning personally poured tea for the two nervous brothers.

"Brother, Brother, Meng Xiaoxing was right.

These four restaurants are all mine, and I own them wholly personally. The properties where the restaurants are located also belong to me.”

"what?"

"Isn't this office beautifully decorated? Today is my first time here." Looking at the two surprised brothers, Su Ning explained with a smile, "Even though I rarely come here, someone still comes to clean for me every day."

"."

"Big Brother, Second Brother, the reason I'm telling you all this isn't to show off, but to tell you that we're pursuing different things now, and there's no need for you to force your way over me."

"Chunming."

"Brother, listen to me first. As a man of the Han family, I think the most important thing is backbone!"

"Thinking back to the difficult times in 1960, our family of six never gave up our dignity and backbone.

Now we have grown up and our lives have become better, but you have automatically given up the bottom line of being a human being. You really disappoint me as your younger brother."

“Let me tell you the truth!

My four restaurants don't accept credit, nor do they offer free meals to anyone. All your expenses at these four restaurants were paid for by Taozi."

"what?"

"Big brother, second brother, if you still think you are the men of the Han family, return all your debts to Taozi tomorrow and don't bring shame to our old Han family."
