Therefore, he looked the waiter in the eye and refused again with righteous indignation, "This is your own mistake, and I will not pay for your error."
"You don't need to beg me, I won't help you."
Wu Tian's words plunged the waiter into complete despair.
But after despair came an extreme rage that filled his heart, making his eyes turn grim.
He felt that Wu Tian was simply abandoning him to his fate. Such a person, after getting what they wanted, would then disregard his plight. This was clearly intentional targeting!
He took two steps back, gritted his teeth, and murmured, "You refuse to help me, right? Fine, people like you are indeed not good."
"Since you're going to treat me like this, don't blame me for not being polite!"
Wu Tian hadn't expected such a reaction from the waiter. His brow furrowed slightly, and he said, "What are you trying to say? What do you mean by this?"
The waiter gave a cold smile, then put on a look of surprise.
He pointed at the shattered vase and said, "You, you, you... you actually broke the vase! No, I have to tell the front desk quickly!"
This sudden change caught Wu Tian off guard.
His brow furrowed even deeper, and he said, "Hey, what nonsense are you talking about? Are you crazy?"
"You clearly broke this vase, what does it have to do with me? Why are you saying I broke the vase?"
But the waiter paid no attention to Wu Tian's words and continued as he pleased, "Do you know how much this vase is worth? This is a vase worth over a hundred thousand!"
"You absolutely cannot run away, you must pay for this vase!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Tian finally understood. This guy was trying to shift the blame onto him!
Such behavior immediately angered Wu Tian. He spoke out, "I'm telling you, it's best not to be so petty. Whoever is responsible is responsible, and your words are useless now!"
"You clearly broke this vase yourself, and now you're blaming me. Do you know what this behavior is? It's defamation, and you'll be held legally responsible!"
But since the waiter had already prepared to frame him, he naturally wouldn't give up easily.
He shouted, "Nonsense, you clearly broke it yourself!"
"As soon as I walked in, I saw the shattered vase. You're still trying to blame me? Do you have any conscience? You're not even human!"
Wu Tian felt increasingly enraged. He couldn't be bothered to argue with the waiter anymore, so he said, "Fine, I won't waste my breath with you. Let's wait for the hotel staff to sort this out!"
With that, he walked to the room phone and called the front desk, briefly explaining the situation in the room.
Two minutes later, a man wearing glasses immediately entered.
This man was the hotel manager. Upon entering and seeing the shards all over the floor, his expression stiffened slightly.
He asked, "What happened? How did this vase get broken?"
The waiter quickly interjected, "Manager, it was this person, this person broke the vase!"
"When I just came in, he was about to flee. You absolutely cannot let him escape!"
The manager adjusted his glasses and then looked at Wu Tian, saying, "Sir, you broke this vase, right?"
"I need to inform you that this vase is an artwork, worth over a hundred thousand."
"Since you broke it, you should pay for it. There shouldn't be a problem with that, right?"
Wu Tian was unhappy upon hearing the manager's words.
He said coldly, "What are you thinking, manager? You're only listening to one side of the story and placing all the blame on me."
"Isn't this way of handling problems too hasty?"
"What did you say?" Seeing Wu Tian say such a thing, the manager was somewhat indignant.
But out of professionalism, he still said, "Sir, do you have any objections?"
Wu Tian coldly replied, "No objections, I just want to tell you the truth."
"He broke this vase himself while cleaning."
"He knew he couldn't afford to pay for it, so he shifted the blame to me. You should understand what I'm saying, right?"
"There's such a thing?" Hearing this, the manager immediately looked at the waiter again.
"Is what this gentleman said true? Answer me honestly, did you break the vase?"
The waiter was slightly taken aback, a flicker of panic crossing his face.
But he quickly regained his composure and put on a determined look, saying, "N-no, what does that have to do with me? He broke it!"
"Manager, I've been working here for over two years, and I've never made a mistake, have I?"
"Since I'm an experienced employee, how could I possibly make such a basic mistake?"
The manager felt that the waiter's words made sense.
He said to Wu Tian, "Sir, to be frank, our hotel has been open for a long time, and no waiter has ever made such a mistake."
"Conversely, it's quite common for guests to damage items in the room."
"Actually, compensation issues can always be discussed properly, but the most important thing in communication between people should be attitude."
He stared into Wu Tian's eyes, "As long as the attitude is good, the conversation can proceed smoothly."
"But if the attitude is not good, then our communication might become more complicated."
The manager's words made Wu Tian's anger burn even hotter.
What else could these words mean other than placing the blame for the broken vase on him?
His expression turned grim, and he said, "It seems you're going to blame me. But where is the evidence? You don't even have evidence, so why do you say I broke it?"
The manager smiled and said, "Sir, you can't say that."
"Since you're asking me for evidence, I might as well ask you, what evidence do you have to prove that our staff broke the vase?"
"You are a guest, like a stranger to me, while he is our hotel employee, and I am aware of his work capabilities. In this situation, it is normal for me to believe him, isn't it?"
Wu Tian couldn't help but feel annoyed. These two were truly despicable.
With just a few words, they were trying to make him pay over a hundred thousand. How could he be such a fool?
So he refused again, "I'm telling you, I will not compromise with you on this matter."
"What didn't happen, didn't happen. Even if you talk until the cows come home, I will not admit to your claims!"
