Chapter 4 Whose Table Is It?
- Tang Yin was pissed off when he noticed that Ruan Qin was looking at him disdainfully. However, he couldn’t bother about that at the moment. I have reserved this table just now, so how could it suddenly become Zhang Qiang’s?
- “Tang Yin, we’ve already said that you reserved this table but they still came over to snatch it. I’ll show them some colors today and we shall see if they still dare to—” Ding Xuan had already rushed out before he finished his sentence.
- Tang Yin rushed to pull him back. “Just get the waiter to check for us; we’ll just tell them that we’d book the table first!”
- “Get the waiter? Even if you get the waiter, it doesn’t mean that the table is yours!” Zhang Qiang mocked Tang Yin. “You know what? Let’s get the waiter then!”
- Tang Yin’s mouth formed into a smirk.
- The waiter hurried back quickly after checking the reservation details and informed them with a dark expression, “I’m sorry, but it says here that the table was reserved by someone named Tang Yin.”
- “How is that possible? How can he afford a place like this? What about us?” Ruan Qin was taken aback when she heard the waiter. “Is there a mistake on your end? He doesn’t even have money with him!”
- “There isn’t any mistake; this table was indeed reserved by Mr. Tang!” the waiter replied in a soft voice.
- “That’s impossible! We have reserved table number 6!” Zhang Qiang chided in.
- “Yes, but the table you reserved is downstairs. This is table number 6 of the VIP zone; you guys booked the normal table number 6 in the hall downstairs,” the waiter whispered in fear.
- Zhang Qiang was taken aback before his facial expression darkened, recalling that he might have actually reserved the normal table number 6.
- “Well, well. How about that? Just go downstairs and stop humiliating yourself! Hahaha!” Ding Xuan burst into laughter when he heard the waiter.
- “How could this be? How is it possible for us to have booked the normal room? I don’t want the normal table, I want to sit here instead! The ambience here is so much better!” Ruan Qin was pissed off. She then pushed Zhang Qiang away and tried to head back.
- Zhang Qiang grinded his teeth, obviously pissed off too. He couldn’t be humiliated right now when he had just managed to get Ruan Qin after all that he had done. Thereafter, he took a black card out of his pocket and gave it to the waiter. “Go on, get your manager over. I want you to tell him that I will be taking this table. I’m sure that he will know what to do by then!”
- The waiter’s facial expression changed when he saw the black card. He then looked at Tang Yin apologetically before running toward the manager’s office.
- “What is happening?” Ding Xuan’s facial expression changed too.
- “Nothing’s happening. We will eat here today! Even if someone powerful came, they won’t be able to get us to leave!” Tang Yin smiled knowingly.
- “You'll eat here? Tang Yin, don’t think that I don’t know how much money you have! Why are you still acting like this when you don’t even have money? Do you think that the money you earned from being a waiter for a month is sufficient for you to dine here?” Ruan Qin sneered.
- “Exactly! Some people just love to boast, don’t they? We’ll just wait and see what happens later on!” Zhang Qiang smirked.
- Tang Yin kept his silence, his facial expression getting darker. After a while, the manager of the Orchid Restaurant came. He was an energetic-looking young man in his thirties who was dressed in a suit.
- The manager was obviously briefed about what happened beforehand. He took a glance at Zhang Qiang’s black card and turned to Tang Yin. “You’re Mr. Tang, aren’t you? I’m really sorry but we won’t be able to serve you tonight. I’ll have to ask you guys to leave now…”
- Ruan Qin, who was standing by the side, pouted before mocking in disdain, “Didn’t I tell you earlier? This isn’t a place for people like you. Do you finally understand now?”
- Zhang Qiang boomed into laughter. “What’s it gonna be? Are you guys still not leaving?”
- Ding Xuan gritted his teeth and his fists tightened, evidently dissatisfied with this arrangement.
- “Sirs, I would have to ask for you guys to leave right now!” The manager of the Orchid Restaurant frowned.
- Tang Yin smirked and glanced at the manager before slowly taking a purple card out of his pocket and placing it onto the table. “Are you sure you want me to leave?”
- Manager Xu’s facial expression immediately changed upon noticing the card; his mouth widened from shock and he couldn’t seem to utter anything at all.
- “I’m sorry! I’m so sorry!” The manager’s attitude took a drastic change as he bowed and apologized to Tang Yin. “I’m so sorry, sir! I must be blind to not recognize you earlier! I sincerely apologize! This table is yours and I will get the others to leave right away!”
- Zhang Qiang and Ruan Qin were shocked by the manager’s attitude. They couldn’t understand why the manager who had ushered the rest to leave just minutes ago would suddenly change his mind and apologize to them.
- Manager Xu managed his composure and turned back to the couple. “I'm so sorry, I’ll have to ask you guys to go downstairs and dine in the normal room!”
- Zhang Qiang was taken aback. However, he immediately snapped back from his trance and exploded, “What are you talking about? Are you actually making us leave? Is there something wrong with your brain? Do you even know who I am? I’m the Garden’s Jewelries’ heir! Do you know how much I spend at the Orchid Restaurant every year? Do you know how much money is in my member card? There are around 10,000 inside, do you know that?! Do you think that you can just make me leave like this? Are you planning to lose your job as a manager?!”
- “Exactly!” Ruan Qin’s face became cold. She side-eyed Tang Yin before turning to Manager Xu and asked, “How can he make us leave with just a sh*tty card? What right does he have? He is nothing but a poor waiter! A loser! What right does he have to make us leave?”
- Tang Yin looked at the couple making a commotion before smirking.
- Manager Xu’s face darkened. “I think that the both of you still do not understand what this card means. This card is exclusively given out only from our restaurant’s global headquarters. Only customers that spent more than a million are eligible to obtain this VIP card. All 900 of the Orchid Restaurants worldwide are required to provide top tier services whenever this card is presented! So, according to the rules, we are to oblige to anything now that we are presented with this VIP card…”
- “Millions? How is that possible?! Where did he even get the money to do so…” Ruan Qin’s expression turned ghastly.
- “Are you crazy? Look at him! How could he afford to spend millions in your restaurant?!” Zhang Qiang was throwing a tantrum.
- Tang Yin was disgusted. This couple actually thought they were so high up among others that they’d never expect others to be even higher up than them.
- “I'm so sorry but you guys have to go downstairs now!” Manager Xu lowered his voice and said.
- “I'm not leaving! I want to sit here! I’ve already decided that I want to dine in this area and was even prepared to snap some pictures for my feed! And now, you want me to go down and eat with the other poor losers?! I don’t want to leave!” Ruan Qin shook her arm and pushed Manager Xu away.
- Manager Xu’s gaze landed on Tang Yin.
- Looking at Ruan Qin’s behavior, Tang Yin felt ashamed for her.
- “I’m not leaving! I’d like to see who’d be able to get me to leave today!” Ruan Qin said furiously.
- Tang Yin was absolutely irked by now. “Is this how the Orchid Restaurant treats their customers? Do you guys not take me seriously? I’ll give you two more minutes to get these people to leave now.”
- Manager Xu nodded respectfully before turning to Ruan Qin and informed coldly, “Miss, if you don’t leave now, I’ll have no choice but to get the police to arrest you for public disturbance. Also, I will inform your university about this. By then, things won’t be as simple anymore…”
- Ruan Qin bit her lips and glared at Tang Yin.
- Tang Yin chuckled. “Clear the area…”
- Ruan Qin shot up from her seat and started heading downstairs. “Fine! We’ll go eat downstairs then. After all, we’ll order much better dishes than you anyway. A poor loser like you could probably only afford a cup of plain water at places like these!”
- Tang Yin shook his head and laughed lightly. “Go downstairs? I think you’re mistaken. What I meant was to clear the entire restaurant. Apart from my friends and I, I want every customer in the Orchid Restaurant out right now…”
