Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 202 - 147: Wishing Brother and Sister a Quick Marriage and Lots of Children
"You need to apologize to my boss immediately, no matter what it takes to earn his forgiveness. Otherwise, my job is at risk, and our familyโs restaurant might not survive. Iโm heading over right now!" Chen Zhichao shouted. ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐จ๐ฏ๐๐.๐๐จ๐
With a mournful expression, Chen Zhiyue approached Yang Chen and quickly bowed to apologize.
"Mr. Yang, itโs all my fault. Please be generous and donโt hold it against me. My brother, Chen Zhichao, works under you. Do you know him?"
"Him? Is he here?" Yang Chen asked.
"Yes, yes, heโs on his way. Our place is not far from here! Could you, in consideration of my brother, not hold this against me?" Chen Zhiyue pleaded humbly.
People always hear of employees respecting their boss, but never about a boss having to humiliate themselves to give face to an employee.
Isnโt Chen Zhiyue just dreaming?
Coincidentally, Yang Chenโs asset management company had just been successfully registered, and it was time to replace all heads of his operations with his trusted confidants.
"Weโre here to eat. Please do not disturb us." Yang Chen said calmly.
Chen Zhiyue nodded and said, "Understood! Understood! Someone, please ask those customers with strong odors to leave. Whereโs your sense of communal etiquette? Using such cheap perfume mixed with your sweatโdo you have any idea how strong the stench is? Youโre disturbing others while they eat!"
The plump lady who had been most vocal earlier looked furious, feeling that the bossโs words were directed at her.
The waiter promptly stepped forward to escort the plump lady and her group out.
"What do you mean? Weโre paying customers, why are you kicking us out?"
"Weโve paid, and you must provide service!"
"Youโre forcibly kicking us out; we can complain about you!"
...
Listen to them; they understand reason quite well.
So why did they make things difficult for an elderly man just wanting to celebrate his granddaughterโs tenth birthday?
When it concerns them, they resort to reason.
But when reason was applied to them, they acted unruly.
In short, they bully the weak and fear the strong.
Chen Zhiyue said angrily, "Then why did you trouble this old man earlier? If you werenโt looking for trouble, would things have gotten this far? Iโve offended someone I shouldnโt have just to stand up for you, and now I donโt even know what to do. Complain if you want, but donโt yap here. Get out!"
Offending a few regular customers, or even being reported to consumer associations or other departments, was minor for Chen Zhiyue.
But offending Yang Chen was entirely different. Just Chen Baoqiang alone had the means to shut down the restaurant, not to mention his master Zhang Xiang hadnโt even stepped in yet.
These people were likely very ordinary and dared not challenge Chen Zhiyue, and they just packed up, cursed, and left.
If they had any confidence, they wouldnโt have left so easily.
Itโs an old saying: ordinary people most severely oppress other ordinary people.
Theyโre ordinary themselves but feel the need to show off and trouble someone even more ordinary.
The other diners also wanted to avoid trouble, so they hurried to finish eating and left.
Soon enough, only Yang Chenโs group was left in the restaurant dining.
Cheng Junjun smiled and asked the little girl, "How is it; does it taste good?"
The little girl nodded happily and said, "Yes, itโs delicious. Iโve never tasted such good steak before."
"Haha... If you like it, we can go somewhere else later, and Iโll treat you to your fill," Cheng Junjun said.
The little girl shook her head contentedly and said, "No need. I just wanted to know what it tastes like. My classmates always talk about steak, but I never had it and couldnโt join the conversation. Now I know what it tastes like, so I can talk with them in the future."
Wow, hearing those words really tugs at the heartstrings.
The elderly man chuckled and said, "Itโs Grandpaโs fault for being incompetent, leaving you to suffer with me. I just hope I can live a few more years to see you into adulthood before I go. Otherwise, Iโd be too worried about leaving you alone in the world."
The little girl said, "Grandpa, you will live a long life. Iโll work hard to get into a good university and find a good job to take care of you."
"Haha...", the old man laughed joyfully.
Cheng Junjun deeply admired the bond between this grandfather and granddaughterโit was something she could never have in her life.
"Hereโs the deal, Iโll cover all your school expenses from now on. Study hard and make sure to get into a good university," Cheng Junjun said with a smile.
The little girl looked at her grandpa with pure innocence.
The old man immediately got excited and tried to kneel to thank Cheng Junjun.
Yang Chen quickly stopped him.
"Schooling is expensive these days. Young lady, if you can help cover tuition, I would be eternally grateful. I canโt make much money collecting recyclablesโsometimes itโs class fees, sometimes itโs field trips, sometimes itโs learning devices. Sigh..." the old man said helplessly.
In the past, when it wasnโt free, there werenโt all these feesโand even if there were, they werenโt this expensive.
Since it became free, all sorts of fees have cropped up, each higher than the next.
Now, you even need to buy houses to attend school, or you must pay a large tuition for temporary enrollment.
It clearly is supposed to be compulsory free education, yet the costs are much higher than when it wasnโt free.
The old man makes his living by collecting recyclables, and with high living costs, any money saved over the year ends up going to the school.
Fortunately, they havenโt fallen ill. If they did, theyโd just leave it up to fate.
