TDDDMFM Chapter 15:
"Zhou Xiaobei, don't think you can act arrogantly just because the Yan family is protecting you. Let me tell you, you've crossed the line! I advise you to get out of Xiangcheng quickly, otherwise I guarantee you'll regret it!" Shen Yue gritted her teeth in anger.
If looks could kill, Zhou Xiaobei would have been dead a thousand times over from her glare.
"Are you threatening me?" Zhou Xiaobei narrowed his eyes to slits.
"Hmph!" Shen Yue coldly snorted.
"Damn!"
Zhou Xiaobei spat on the ground without any grace, then stood up and walked towards Shen Yue.
Every pore on Shen Yue's body exploded with sweat, her expression wary.
Meanwhile, Dong Tianming and his companions turned and ran, fearing that Zhou Xiaobei might lash out and harm them again.
"Shameful!"
Zhou Xiaobei glanced disdainfully at Dong Tianming.
He dared to act refined after this? He had no backbone at all.
Approaching Shen Yue, they were only a fist's distance apart, their breaths mingling.
Unexpectedly, this woman smelled really good!
Looking down at the woman in front of him, Zhou Xiaobei sneered, "Woman, are you threatening me?"
"Woman, let me tell you one last time. I'm fine with everything, but I don't like being threatened. Since I was young, even when a dog in the village barked at me twice, I would break its legs... If you push me, I can really do anything!"
"Don't push me!"
Shen Yue's back was drenched in cold sweat.
She had experienced Zhou Xiaobei's skills before. At such a close distance, he could kill her with a single finger.
Fortunately, Zhou Xiaobei didn't act recklessly.
After speaking, he turned and looked at the dumbfounded manager Xue.
"Manager Xue, right? Forget calling you Manager Xue, it's a mouthful. My dear, when are we getting our food? I'm starving!" Zhou Xiaobei grinned.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou. The kitchen is already preparing. Oh, by the way, if I may ask, is Mr. Zhou dining alone?" Manager Xue asked.
Zhou Xiaobei nodded.
Manager Xue's lips twitched slightly. Dining alone meant ordering a lot of food. Was this guy a bottomless pit?
"Hurry up with the food."
"Okay, I'll go and urge them right away."
Manager Xue turned to leave, but Zhou Xiaobei grabbed her slender waist. "Whoa, your waist is really thin!"
Manager Xue blushed slightly, but being a professional manager, she remained composed even when caught off guard. She smiled and asked, "Mr. Zhou, is there anything else you need?"
"Hehe, nothing serious. I was just showing off earlier and forgot to ask. How much would it cost to book this place? Ten thousand should be enough, right?"
Manager Xue was stunned.
Ten thousand?
Are you talking about dollars here?
What a joke!
The Shangri-La restaurant served high-end clients, so they had very high standards for ingredients. Australian lobsters, deep-sea caviar, even the beef was from Kobe. These ingredients were all air-shipped on the same day, making their prices even higher. And you want to book the whole place for ten thousand?
Manager Xue felt like she was dealing with a hillbilly!
"What's wrong?" Zhou Xiaobei asked curiously, noticing Manager Xue's change in expression.
"Mr. Zhou, to be honest, if you really want to book the whole place, the cost would be around five hundred thousand!"
Boom!
Zhou Xiaobei was so shocked that she almost fell to the ground.
She nearly had a heart attack!
Staring wide-eyed at Manager Xue, she exclaimed, "What? Five hundred thousand! I mean, your restaurant is a rip-off! You're so good at grabbing money, why don't you just rob a bank together!"
Manager Xue was on the verge of tears.
Zhou Xiaobei had completely misunderstood her.
"Mr. Zhou, you've got it wrong. To be honest, the price I quoted was conservative. If we calculate it more precisely, it could be even more expensive. Our restaurant's dishes use the highest quality ingredients from around the world, so naturally, they come at a high price."
"Take the Australian lobsters, abalones, and puffer fish, for example. They're all air-shipped from various places around the world on the same day. Just the transportation costs alone could be tens of thousands, not to mention the processing fees, which would naturally make it even more expensive."
"Also, if you want wine, our red wines are all produced by French wineries and are of the highest quality. A bottle of wine could cost tens or even hundreds of thousands, and..."
"Stop!" Zhou Xiaobei couldn't take it anymore, holding her head in pain. "Here's the thing, Manager Xue, just go and tell your kitchen to skip all that. Actually, I'm not that hungry. Just make me a bowl of knife-cut noodles."
...
Qin Yumen was taken to the hospital.
He was severely reprimanded by Zhou Xiaobei, and although it was only superficial injuries, for these wealthy second-generation individuals, it was considered a life-threatening illness.
After receiving emergency treatment, Qin Yumen was quickly taken to the intensive care unit.
Sitting on the hospital bed, Qin Yumen smoked furiously, his face flushed with anger as he made a call, "I'm in the hospital now, yes, I got beaten up... It's not my fault, someone attacked me. Anyway, I don't care, Qin Xiner, if you still consider me your brother, you have to avenge me!"
...
There was silence for three seconds on the other end of the phone before a woman's voice came through, "Which hospital are you in? I'll come over right now. Just wait for me!"
The woman's voice was cold, sending a chilling sense of dread.
