Wang Yurong immediately took out her phone, opened the food ordering platform page, and scrolled through it for a long time, but couldn't find the minimum charge he mentioned.

"It's not written on the platform page at all!" Wang Yurong argued forcefully.

However, the manager responded dismissively, "That's because the platform is missing something."

"But our rules have always been in place. You're here for the first time and you're not aware of them, so I'll tell you now."

The atmosphere was extremely tense.

Wang Yurong and Tian Yue were so angry they didn't know what to say.

Jiang Wan looked at the manager, "Return the porridge, let's order some dishes to take away, that'll make it 600, is that alright?"

Manager: "Of course."

Jiang Wan looked at Wang Yurong, who tugged at her boyfriend's arm.

Tian Yue took a deep breath, knowing that this was the only way. So he ordered some dishes from the manager and paid for the meal.

After the manager left, Jiang Wan and her group of five returned to the private room.

There was still a lot of food left on the table, but no one was in the mood to eat.

Zhou Feiyan and Li Zhile were so angry that they cursed the restaurant and wished it would go out of business as soon as possible.

Tian Yue and Wang Yurong were comforting each other to stop being angry.

Jiang Wan received a message from Shang Shixu.

Lie: [Was the food good?]

Nice Rabbit Squid: [emmm...it's hard to explain]

Lie: [Disgusting?]

Nice Rabbit Squid: [No, something just happened, I'll tell you tonight.]

Lie: [Okay]

Ten minutes later, Wang Yurong and Tian Yue gradually calmed down, and Zhou Feiyan and Li Zhile stopped cursing.

The atmosphere gradually improved.

Nobody wants to get angry on such a beautiful day.

But twenty minutes had passed, and the packed food still hadn't arrived.

Zhou Feiyan glanced at the doorway. "Why aren't they here yet?"

Tian Yue couldn't sit still any longer and got up to go out and look for someone.

He had just gotten up when the door to the private room was pushed open from the outside.

Jiang Wan and her group breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the package had finally arrived.

I really don't want to stay in this place for another second.

However, they were still too naive.

A male waiter came in, with an apologetic expression on his face.

"I'm sorry, your braised pork with crispy pork is missing an ingredient, so we can't make it. Please choose another dish."

"Snapped!"

Li Zhile slammed his fist on the table and stood up, "Why didn't you say so when you couldn't do it?!"

"We've waited twenty minutes before coming to tell you this. Are you deliberately messing with us?!"

The male waiter's apologetic expression remained unchanged. "Please calm down. The kitchen just discovered that they were short of ingredients."

Jiang Wan and her group now understood that the manager was deliberately setting them up.

There are only three options now.

Or we could change the dish, but who knows when that will be?

Either forget about the extra seventy yuan and just leave.

You can either make a scene with the restaurant and get them to refund the seventy dollars.

All three options are quite troubling.

Wang Yurong stood up, grabbed her boyfriend's hand, and said through gritted teeth, "Let's go, forget about the seventy."

"No way!" Li Zhile roared, pulling out his phone with a furious expression. "Sit there, I'm calling my dad."

Upon seeing this, the male waiter silently left the private room and ran towards the manager as fast as he could.

"Manager, manager, those people are furious. A girl wants to call for help; she said she'll call her dad."

The manager scoffed, "Fine, I'll go see just how powerful her backer is."

After saying that, he walked towards the private room.

The male waiter followed behind him to watch the commotion.

Everyone who works here knows that the manager and the owner of this store are related.

He calls his boss "cousin".

The boss has befriended many important figures in Haicheng.

The male waiter seemed to already envision the young men getting their comeuppance.

Inside the private room, Li Zhile dialed his father's number.

She briefly recounted what had happened.

She had just finished speaking when the manager and a male waiter leisurely entered the private room.

They stood at the door, silently watching her make the phone call.

Mr. Li, on the other end of the phone, was indignant and immediately wanted to get revenge for his daughter and her friends.

"Lele, put the phone on the manager's end."

Li Zhile pressed the speakerphone button, held the phone out to the manager, and said, "My dad wants to talk to you."

Mr. Li: "Hello, are you the manager?"

"I am."

"What's your boss's name?"

"Song Xiong." The manager emphasized these two words.

"Is that Song Xiong from Huai'an Restaurant?"

"Yes, you know my cousin?"

There was silence on Mr. Li's end.

There was a slightly eerie atmosphere.

After three or four seconds, the sound rang out again.

"Lele, answer the phone."

Li Zhile blinked, turned off the speakerphone, and held the phone to his ear. His father on the other end lowered his voice and said:

"You should leave. It's not worth it for seventy dollars."

"The owner of that shop has powerful connections; don't get yourself into trouble."

Li Zhile gave a stiff "hmm".

She hung up the phone and looked at Wang Yurong, her tone somewhat dejected, "Let's go."

Once those two words were uttered, everyone understood what they meant.

Jiang Wan and her group stood up and prepared to leave.

But a kind person is often bullied, and a good horse is often ridden.

Seeing that their backer was no longer reliable, the manager immediately raised his chin to the sky.

He scoffed, "Oh, leaving already?"

"You want to cause me trouble? Come on then!"

"I'm right here, why keep looking for a backer?"

Jiang Wan and the others suppressed their anger, ignored him, and left the private room.

Tian Yue was carrying the cake box and walking behind when, just as she was about to leave the private room, the manager stuck out a leg.

"Snapped!"

Tian Yue fell to the ground, and the cake box in her hand flew out.

Inside the transparent box, the exquisite cake was instantly transformed beyond recognition.

Enough is enough! There's no need to endure it any longer!

The moment Tian Yue got up, he punched the manager in the face.

The two quickly began to wrestle.

Wang Yurong instinctively wanted to rush forward, but Jiang Wan quickly grabbed her, "Don't go! Call the police!"

Just after Wang Yurong finished calling the police, the two people who were wrestling were separated by other waiters who ran over.

Manager Chao Tianyue roared, "You dare lay a hand on me? I'm not finished with you today!"

Seeing the chaos before her, Jiang Wan's heart clenched tightly.

This matter... is probably not going to end well.

Fifteen minutes later, the police arrived to mediate.

As a result, the restaurant refunded the seventy yuan.

Tian Yue and the manager were not seriously injured and each paid their own medical expenses.

Meanwhile, the police also gave the manager a verbal reprimand.

The matter seems to have reached a final conclusion.

However, the manager's attitude changed immediately after the police left.

Pointing his finger at Tian Yue's nose, he cursed, "You just wait, I just heard you, you're a student at S University."

"My cousin knows some leaders at S University. We'll see about this; I'll make sure you regret this!"

As the saying goes, it's better to offend the King of Hell than a petty person.

This threat made Wang Yurong furious.

She was both angry and scared, and tears streamed down her face.

Tian Yue suppressed his fear and quickly reassured her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Let's see what he can do to me. If he dares to cause trouble, we'll call the police."

Li Zhile and Zhou Feiyan were so angry that their chests heaved violently, their eyes fixed on the manager.

There is no other way.

Jiang Wan was so angry that her head was throbbing.

It's clear that the other party won't let this go easily.

Wang Yurong and Tian Yue came from a small city to Haicheng, where they had no relatives or friends.

Both of them were still students who had not yet graduated.

Dealing with a scoundrel like this who has powerful backers is a recipe for disaster.

Therefore, we must completely dissuade this scoundrel from causing trouble.

Wang Yurong's fearful tears made Jiang Wan no longer hesitate.

She took out her phone and sent a message to Shang Shixu.

Nice Rabbit Squid: [Baby, are you there?]

Lie: [Hmm]

Nice Rabbit Squid: [I'm in a little trouble right now...]
