Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 491, this is what reputation is all about!

Although he didn't have much social experience, he knew he had encountered what was known as an oddball.

Even though the other party seemed unable to understand human speech on the phone, he wasn't surprised. After all, when you're in business, you're bound to encounter all sorts of people. It's not normal to run into one or two oddballs.

The best way to deal with this kind of person is to stay away. There's no need to take them to heart. Although it's said that harmony brings wealth when doing business, you can also choose not to make money from them. Judging from the tone of that person on the phone, even if you were to actually serve them, there would probably be all sorts of trouble. It's better to just not see them and not be bothered by them.

It's truly rare to expect someone to reopen a shop when it's closed, and to do so with such self-righteousness.

Don't even mention that he can't open for business today. Even on Wednesdays, if someone shows up halfway through the day without an appointment, he won't choose to serve them.

Moreover, his guests every Wednesday make reservations in advance, and even the dishes are ordered beforehand, with ingredients provided according to the menu. There is simply no way he can entertain others.

Most importantly, it was Liu Ruyan who decided who to entertain. This was the only bit of power Liu Ruyan wanted, in order to build a network of relationships for herself. Although it wasn't very reliable, at least she had a reason to pass on messages and someone who could speak with authority.

So, if anyone wants to come for dinner, they just need to contact Liu Ruyan's secretary, Xiaotian. Liu Ruyan will then decide who will come next week. This process is already very stable, and Lin Mo himself is quite satisfied with it, so why would he want to break this pattern?

He doesn't have to worry about customers, and he still makes money; he couldn't be happier if it stayed this way.

If the other party spoke politely, he would naturally be very courteous in return. But the other party's arrogant tone made it seem to anyone who didn't know better that the other party was doing him a great favor by coming to his restaurant.

In this situation, he naturally wouldn't say much to the other party; hanging up directly would be the best option. As for yelling at the other party, it's unnecessary, it won't solve the problem, and it will only make him angry.

On the other side, three cars were parked in front of the restaurant on Wednesday. Two of them were sports cars, and the other was a Rolls-Royce with a small golden figure on the front. Just by looking at the three cars, you could tell that they were very expensive.

There were three cars and four young people in total, three men and one woman. The woman was tall and dressed sexily, and was being held in the arms of a young man with a buzz cut.

"How is it?" the man asked, his arm around the woman.

Upon hearing this, the man who had just put down his phone spat out, "Brother Tian, ​​that idiot boss actually said he wouldn't be open today. We offered him an extra 100,000 yuan, but he's still acting all high and mighty."

"Damn, a restaurant with so many ridiculous rules! It's a tiny place; you'd think it was in Shanghai. If my dad hadn't told me the food was good, I wouldn't have known there was such a place in Jiangning!"

"Young Master Huang, you're mistaken. I've heard about this restaurant from my family. Although it looks ordinary, the prices are comparable to those of the top restaurants in Shanghai. I've also heard that the food is excellent. It's just that the rules are a bit too unique," the last man said with a smile, playing with the Porsche car keys.

"What, does your Young Master Wang think that Brother Tian needs a reservation to eat here? I think this restaurant owner is just being disrespectful. If you ask me, I'll have someone smash this restaurant and let him know what happens when he offends Brother Tian in Jiangning," the young man called Young Master Huang spat, his expression somewhat ferocious.

Today, he wanted to treat the guy he called Brother Tian to a meal and ask him for a favor. That's when he remembered the place his dad mentioned. But when they arrived, the place wasn't open for business and even dared to hang up on him, which made him lose face.

Judging from the way the group addressed each other and the car they drove, these young people were clearly from wealthy and influential families. Of course, those who could afford to eat here were not ordinary people, and their families were probably not just rich; otherwise, they wouldn't have said such arrogant things, as if smashing up the restaurant was a trivial matter for them.

Hearing this, the young man called Young Master Wang smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Then you should do it yourself. There seems to be some connection to this place. I heard from my dad that it's related to a boss he knows. If we run into a tough customer, it won't look good. There's no need for that."

"Tch, when did you, Young Master Wang, become such a coward? If you're scared, I'll do it myself," Huang Hao said disdainfully.

He had everything planned out for the day, but a restaurant ruined it, so he was naturally furious.

Wang Mingjie smiled upon hearing this but remained silent. He had made up his mind not to get involved in this matter anyway; he was just an extra today, so why should he meddle in other people's business?

Just then, Li Tian, ​​who was holding the girl, spoke up calmly: "Alright, what a spoilsport. And what kind of society is this now? Can't you use your brains when you do things? Do you think you're a gangster, smashing up shops and beating people at the drop of a hat? This is a society governed by law. Learn to use your brain, understand?"

"Yes, yes, Brother Tian is right, then let's..." Huang Hao quickly said with a smile.

Judging from the tone of their voices, Li Tian should be considered to have a higher status among the three, while Wang Mingjie and Huang Hao should have similar statuses.

However, despite the difference, it shouldn't be too great. Otherwise, Wang Mingjie wouldn't have been so decisive in saying he wouldn't get involved. As for why Huang Hao adopted such a humble attitude, it's simply because he was the one asking for help.

As for the woman among them, she wasn't even part of their circle; she was just a girl someone had casually brought along. So when the three of them were talking, the woman didn't say a word, not because she didn't want to, but because she wasn't qualified to interrupt.

"Let's go. This place is such a disappointment. Since he likes to keep the door closed, let it stay closed then."

After saying that, Li Tian put his arm around the woman and got into the Rolls-Royce next to him. Seeing this, Wang Mingjie put his hands in his pockets, shrugged, indicating that he didn't care, and then got into his own car.

Huang Hao was even angrier when his plan fell through, but he knew now was not the time to lose his temper, so he drove away with the two of them.

Meanwhile, Lin Mo and the others came out of the restaurant. Although the food wasn't particularly amazing, everyone enjoyed the meal. After all, Director Wang and the class monitor had successfully gotten together, and as best friends, they naturally wanted to celebrate and were genuinely happy for the two of them.

When they came out, the squad leader and Director Wang were holding hands, finally looking somewhat like a couple.

"Today is already the 22nd, and there are only a few days left in this month. Let's finish this search for relatives, and then this month will be over. I will give everyone a bonus at the end of the month," Chuanmei said as they walked.

Over the past month, with the establishment of a studio, the advertising deals secured for him by Miss Yuan, and collaborations that came to him directly through his connections, it's fair to say that Chuanmei has earned quite a bit this month.

Although the exact figure is unknown, it is still several hundred thousand. After deducting the share given to Miss Yuan, Lin Mo's share is actually a small amount. As for the salaries of Director Wang and the other two, that is actually the smallest part of the expenses.

Even if you take all of that out, Chuanmei would still have a lot left over. After all, almost all the works this guy has released in the past month have included advertisements, both overtly and covertly. A significant portion of these advertisements were ones he took on himself, making him a high-income earner.

Based on the current income, this account could easily generate several million yuan in profit in a year just from advertising, which is quite impressive. And since advertising fees have already been settled, the woman from Sichuan is naturally quite generous.

“That’s right, Sister Yuan isn’t stingy either, she gave you all bonuses too. Of course, Mozi didn’t get one, since you also get a share, and besides, you own a restaurant!” Miss Yuan rolled her eyes at him.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but smile: "No, please give me something. I'm still very interested in the bonuses that Sister Yuan gives out."

Although he didn't care about the money, he still had to consider the three of them, including Director Wang. It was obvious that both Chuanmei and Miss Yuan proposed giving bonuses to take care of the other three with lower incomes. However, giving bonuses in such a rigid way, although generous, was not good enough for the class monitor, who was very proud and afraid that she would overthink it. That's why Lin Mo proposed that he wanted one too.

Sure enough, everyone laughed when they heard him say that, and the atmosphere became very relaxed.

The group of six walked and stopped frequently, and soon arrived at the [Mengya Media] studio. From a distance, they could see a yellow figure huddled together at the entrance, and they could hear whimpering sounds from time to time.

"Hey, look, isn't Wangcai back?" Miss Yuan suddenly shouted, pointing in the direction of the studio entrance.

"It seems to be true!"

"What do you mean 'seems like'? That's it!"

As they spoke, the group jogged a few steps and soon arrived at the entrance of the studio. A small mongrel was lying at the door, whimpering loudly. The dog was filthy and looked very aggrieved.

But Miss Yuan didn't think too much about it. When she saw it was Wangcai, she couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "Wangcai, it really is you! How did you get back? Come and pet my head!"

As she spoke, Miss Yuan reached out, but Lin Mo stopped her the next second.

"Wait a minute, Sister Yuan!" Lin Mo stopped her.

Miss Yuan: "What?"

"Didn't you notice that your Wangcai seems to be a little lame?" Lin Mo said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan took a closer look and indeed saw Wangcai struggling to get up, walking with a limp. She immediately exclaimed, "Oh my god, Wangcai, what happened to you? Did you get hit by a car or get into a fight with another dog? Tell me, and I'll get revenge for you!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo looked around and, sure enough, spotted a dark tabby cat around the corner not far away.

Well, this tabby cat is big and burly, with a fierce look on its face. It looks like a small tiger, and when you see it, you can't help but think of one name: [Sang Biao].

He then poked Miss Yuan's shoulder.

"What? Didn't you see Wangcai being bullied? Nobody's leaving today, let's go get revenge for Wangcai!" Miss Yuan said with great righteousness.

After all, this was a money-making dog who had paid her protection money. Since her underlings were being bullied, she had to step in and help them out!

It's worth noting that back then, whether it was Lin Mo or Zhang Wei, whenever anyone in the company caused them trouble, Miss Yuan would always step in to help.

Even when Wang Chu and Chuan Mei were beaten up by Zhao Yun, she wanted to help them get revenge, but they encountered bloodline suppression.

"Hey, look over there, isn't that the bounty hunter you hired?" Lin Mo pointed to the corner not far away and asked.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze in that direction, and sure enough, they spotted a tabby cat looking in their direction from a short distance away.

"Huh? So, it was the cat who helped me find Wangcai?" Miss Yuan asked incredulously.

She hadn't expected the tabby cat to be so efficient; it had brought Wangcai back in the time it takes to eat a meal, and even gave him a good beating along the way.

As they were talking, the tabby cat glanced at them, then turned and left.

"It seems so. Didn't you see they still confirm receipt? That's what word-of-mouth is all about!" Lin Mo laughed.

Seeing this, the others couldn't help but chuckle, and then all turned their gazes to Miss Yuan.

"No, why are you all looking at me? I just hired it to help, I didn't ask it to beat Wangcai!" Miss Yuan quickly explained.

Lin Mo sneered: "Do you think that tabby cat is a security team? It's a bounty hunter, a scumbag. I've already said that in the tabby cat's eyes, the things you bought are enough to buy several of Wangcai's dog lives."

It probably didn't know whether you were going to live or die, so it beat Wangcai half to death and sent him to you.

If nothing unexpected happens, Wangcai will be beaten by Sangbiao again when he goes out again. Wangcai could at least be a homeless person at first, but now you have to take care of him. You've cut off his livelihood!

Hearing this, Miss Yuan squatted down, feeling quite embarrassed, and patted Wangcai's head: "Um, don't worry, starting today, you'll have a job. You'll be a doorman at this shop, with three meals a day and room and board provided!"

Wangcai: "Woof~~"

I'm so damn grateful for your help!
