Chapter 059 Black Shop?
The chef began placing the ingredients on the table when suddenly a fragrant aroma wafted over—a musky, spicy, and intoxicating scent. Following the aroma, a truffle was placed on the table.
Then, French foie gras, Kobe beef, king crab, and black caviar were served in turn, with top-quality seasonings, including a small bag of saffron added to the dish.
Bao San smiled at the waiter and said, "You have a good eye. Did you give me this for free because you thought my order was too expensive?"
The waiter gave Bao San an awkward smile, then pointed to Lin Fan: "This is what this gentleman ordered."
Su Ruowei frowned, looked at Lin Fan, and asked in a low voice, "Did you order this?" Her words seemed to be criticizing Lin Fan for wasting money again.
Lin Fan quickly waved his hand. He was not afraid of anything except Su Ruowei getting angry. A plate of shredded potatoes was not enough, so when he ordered the food, he went to the restroom and ordered this dish. This was the signature dish of the VIP room of Jinjie Hotel. This dish required the ingredients to be prepared and then made on the spot by two chefs to ensure the original flavor of the dish.
"How much?" Su Ruowei asked quietly.
"It's not expensive at all, Mr. Su, please feel free to eat!" Lin Fan said jokingly.
Suddenly, Bao Sanmeng raised his hand, smoothed his hair, and said in a pretentious manner, "This dish is on my tab, consider it my treat to the beauty."
The waiter looked at Bao San in surprise and asked, "Are you...are you sure?"
“When have I, Master Bao, ever gone back on my word? What good stuff could that poor wretch possibly order?” Bao San said, then pulled out his wallet and addressed the waiter:
"Waiter, how much is this? I'll give it to you now!"
The waiter looked embarrassed and didn't dare to say a word.
The chef said, "Sir, the total is 166,600. If you pay, the dishes you ordered earlier will be given to you as a gift."
Bao San stared wide-eyed at the chef and said, "What the hell? Say it again?"
"The total is 166,600. The previous dishes are a gift for you. I can make the decision about the VIP room."
Bao San's face darkened. "Is this some kind of rip-off place? I'll smash it up another day!"
Lin Fan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Bao San like this.
Bao San glanced at Lin Fan, then glared at the head chef, slammed his hand on the table, and stood up: "I'll send men right now! Smash this black-hearted shop of yours!" With that, he quickly left the VIP room.
The chef looked at Bao San's retreating figure with a sigh, "What are you pretending to be if you don't have money!" With that, he prepared to pack up the ingredients.
"Wait! I'll pay you," Lin Fan said.
Then he handed the chef a bank card and swiped it.
Bao San walked out of the restaurant and saw the stall owner outside looking distressed. The stall owner, seeing Bao San, asked helplessly, "Master Bao, should I come in to pay?"
"Pay me a cent! I really want to smash this rip-off restaurant! They said one dish costs 166,600? That's bullshit!"
"If you don't want to pay, then what are you planning to do?" The stall owner wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Bao San gritted his teeth and said, "You're after those two people from earlier, aren't you? A handsome man and a beautiful woman?"
The stall owner nodded, watching as Bao San took out his phone and made a call.
When the call connected, Bao San's swagger vanished, replaced by a servile, obsequious demeanor. Once the call connected, Bao San said ingratiatingly:
"Cousin! Do you have time? A shady shop is bullying my brother, and a man and a woman are also harassing him!"
A deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "Location?"
“Golden Street Restaurant!” Bao San replied.
"Stay here! I'm on my way."
After hanging up the phone, Bao San, who had been a sycophant on the phone, became arrogant and haughty towards the stall owner again: "You wait! My cousin is here, and he'll help you settle both your old and new scores!"
Outside the Jin Street Restaurant, Bao San, the stall owner, and four fat men watched as a Mercedes slowly drove up.
Upon seeing the familiar license plate, Bao San hurried forward and called out, "Cousin, over here!"
The Mercedes stopped in front of Bao San. Bao San eagerly opened the car door and, after the man got out, introduced him:
"This is my cousin, Song Xu, a senior executive at Shancheng Group!"
The stall owner looked Song Xu up and down in surprise, never expecting that this Bao San knew someone from the Shancheng Group! He was a real hidden talent.
"Hello, Mr. Song, I...I..." The stall owner tried to curry favor, but his words were incoherent with excitement.
"What do you mean, 'get out of here'?" Bao San waved his hand at the stall owner, then bowed and scraped to Song Xu.
Bao San pointed at the Golden Street Restaurant and said, "Cousin, there's a pair of scoundrels bullying my brother inside. I've been keeping watch outside the door, and they're still inside."
After Bao San finished speaking, he led Song Xu into the restaurant, and the others followed closely behind.
A moment later, we arrived outside the VIP room.
“This is the room!” Bao San said, pointing to the VIP room.
"A VIP room? That's not cheap," Song Xu said.
Bao San said aggrievedly, "That's for sure! It's a rip-off! They charge 166,600 for a single dish!"
Song Xu glanced at Bao San with disdain, thinking to himself what a bumpkin. It's perfectly normal for food to cost tens of thousands of yuan in a place like this, yet he still called it a rip-off.
"Where are the adulterous couple?" Song Xu asked.
"They're inside!" Bao San said, pushing open the door and shouting as he pointed at Lin Fan and Su Ruowei, "Cousin, the adulterous couple is right here!"
Song Xu stretched his limbs and followed Bao San into the VIP room. When he saw that the so-called 'adulterous couple' were Lin Fan and Su Ruowei, his heart trembled and his face suddenly turned ashen.
Seeing Song Xu stunned, Bao San quickly shouted again, "Cousin, you scoundrel!"
"Snapped!"
Song Xu slapped Bao San across the face, cutting him off mid-sentence. A thousand curses ran through his mind. How had he managed to offend Su Ruowei? She was Gao Xuan's designated partner, and there was also Lin Fan. Although his identity was unknown, judging from his interactions with Gao Xuan, he was certainly no ordinary person!
Bao San stood there, stunned, covering his cheek and asking in confusion, "Cousin, what's wrong?"
"Slap!" Song Xu slapped Bao San again, cursing, "Who the hell is your cousin? Get the hell out of here!"
Bao San was jolted awake by the two slaps and realized that these two people actually knew Song Xu!
They've offended the big shot; they've really shot themselves in the foot! Thinking this, Bao San slunk away with everyone from the VIP room.
Su Ruowei was completely confused. Why did Song Xu suddenly come here?
"Isn't this President Song! What brings you here? Would you like to grab something to eat?"
Lin Fan suddenly stood up and said to Song Xu, then called the waiter to add another set of cutlery.
Song Xu waved his hand awkwardly and said, "I won't disturb President Lin and President Su's meal any longer." He then turned to leave, but Lin Fan called him back.
"Mr. Song, was that person your cousin?"
Song Xu's heart skipped a beat, and he truly regretted not slapping Bao San to death earlier.
