Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming-Chapter 751: Drink a Toast or Be Forced to Drink as a Penalty

Bai Xiao and her friends hadn’t yet ordered when they heard a rush of footsteps outside; the restaurant floor manager came in: "Ladies, I’m truly sorry. Could you move to the lobby on the first floor? Today, the private rooms are under pressure, and the waiter, unfamiliar with the operations, didn’t realize this room was already booked. Now the guests have arrived, and a conflict has arisen. Of course, as compensation, everything you consume today will be charged at a 20% discount. I hope you can understand."

This really upset not just Bai Xiao, but Ma Yao and the others too—it was clear as day! Saying the staff were unfamiliar with operations was just an excuse, probably because some regulars or people with some status showed up, so they decided to bump them to the lobby.

This really wasn’t the right way to handle things.

"Is this how you treat your guests? What kind of way is this to do business? We come here to spend money and this is how you treat us? Get your manager here."

Ma Yao couldn’t take it anymore; Bai Xiao had saved face by inviting them to eat in such an expensive place, only to face such difficulty from the restaurant. It truly was intolerable.

Moreover, Ma Yao’s sense of justice immediately propelled her to speak up first.

Even Lin Xiang and He Juan, who were usually easy to talk to, had stern faces now.

Although it was Bai Xiao hosting today, such a farce would shame everyone involved in the end.

The issue was that if they were forcibly moved from the private room to the lobby, especially as girls, how could they maintain their dignity?

They might as well not eat at all.

Bai Xiao hadn’t expected such a situation, and for the first time seriously considered whether Modu’s feng shui was against her, encountering oddities everywhere! It was really bizarre.

One couldn’t even enjoy a meal in peace; it seemed the society had truly evolved into one where you are judged by your status. The manager had come over precisely because he saw they were students, powerless and insignificant, hence his disregard. In other words, their lack of influence meant they were easy to push around. Now, all they could do was to see how things would unfold.

"I am the floor manager, the general manager doesn’t have time to meet with you." The manager’s demeanor was cold and unsympathetic.

This was because he harbored an unspeakable disdain for them in his heart; after all, they were just four poor students. The compensation he was offering was already very generous, and yet they were still so ungrateful. A 20% discount could save them tens of dollars.

That could be at least a month’s worth of living expenses.

And yet they were still not satisfied.

Bai Xiao looked at the floor manager, "Since your manager isn’t available, we’re not available either. Don’t disturb us while we’re eating. We’re dining here today!" She didn’t mind schooling them on the principle of first come, first served.

She didn’t really believe that the manager would resort to violence.

But of course, she was quite mistaken—indeed, they were contemplating it.

The floor manager, probably used to dealing with customers like them, might think of them as those who refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit.

Has there ever been a good outcome for those who caused trouble here?

The second floor manager burst out furiously, "I advise you to go downstairs! Otherwise, in the end..."

"Otherwise what?"

Ma Yao’s fiery temper was already unbearable, and she grabbed the manager by the collar, "Are you thinking of getting physical?"

Bai Xiao was speechless. Wasn’t this giving them a reason to get physical?

It seemed today wouldn’t end amicably.
