Ban Xiu Qing Feng

Chapter 396 Promoting the Drinks

Seeing the people who entered, Wu Tian and Bai Xue stopped talking and both looked at them.

The one leading was a person dressed in a waiter's uniform. He said politely, "Excuse me, two guests, sorry to disturb you."

"I am the manager here, and we have something to discuss with you."

Wu Tian asked, "What is it?"

The manager said, "It's like this, sir. Our restaurant recently received a new batch of wine, directly from the manufacturer. It sells for a thousand yuan a bottle outside, but now we can sell a pair for five hundred yuan. Are you interested?"

Neither Wu Tian nor Bai Xue were people who liked to drink.

So Wu Tian shook his head and said, "No, thank you. We don't drink. Sorry."

The manager then said, "Sir, this discount is something our restaurant worked hard to obtain. I think you should support us."

"Besides, wine is not something you have to drink yourself after buying it."

"There's only a month left until the New Year. It would be nice to give it as a gift to someone, wouldn't it?"

Wu Tian had always been uninterested in such sales pitches, so he still shook his head and said, "Really, no need. We're just here to have a meal. Please let us eat in peace, and don't bother us with other matters."

At this point, the manager should have left with his people.

But this manager seemed unwilling to give up, so he insisted, "Sir, please buy a pair. Can't you just support us?"

"It's not easy for us to work, and we rely on these sales to get by."

"You are both bosses, please understand us."

Seeing the manager's lack of tact, Wu Tian also felt a bit annoyed.

He frowned and said, "I've already said we don't want it, why are you still asking?"

"The premise of sales is not to disturb the guests, but I think you have already disturbed us. So, please leave quickly. If you don't leave, I will report you."

Bai Xue, being kind-hearted, adopted a gentler approach to the situation.

She said, "Excuse me, we are really not interested in wine, so please find someone else."

Seeing that neither Wu Tian nor Bai Xue intended to buy, the manager's expression immediately turned displeased.

He muttered to himself, "So they're just two poor folks after all!"

"If they're poor, why come to such a nice private room to eat? Pretending to be something they're not, it's like a joke."

After speaking, the manager prepared to leave with his people.

But at this moment, Wu Tian's cold voice suddenly rang out: "Wait a moment, what did you just say?"

The manager turned his head, still with a disdainful look, and said, "Didn't you hear what I said?"

"I said you're poor folks who are pretending to be rich. Is there a problem with that?"

"If they were real bosses, they wouldn't just buy a pair, they'd buy ten pairs directly. Unlike you, being so stingy, you're just wasting my time."

The manager's words made even Bai Xue unhappy.

She frowned and said, "How can you speak like that? We just didn't buy your things, are you going too far?"

"Too far?" The manager sneered, "What's too far about this? Am I not speaking the truth?"

"If you really have money, then buy a pair. If you don't, then don't blame others for saying so!"

"You!" Bai Xue's usually good temper was truly angered by the manager's words.

But the manager still spoke without any regard for her feelings, saying, "Beautiful lady, I see this meal is being paid for by him, right?"

"I've worked here for so long, I can tell at a glance if someone has money or not."

"This guy is just a show-off, he's got no money. I advise you not to follow him."

"Sleeping with him is sleeping, and sleeping with a boss is also sleeping. Why can't you find a truly rich boss?"

The manager's words were too rude, almost like an insult.

Bai Xue said angrily, "Stop talking. I don't want to hear you. Call your boss over, I want to complain about you!"

The manager was not afraid at all. Instead, he sneered and said, "Want to find our boss? Haha, do you think you're worthy?"

"Let me tell you, our boss is usually very busy and doesn't have time to deal with you."

"If you don't want to buy, then don't buy. Don't babble here."

"Acting like you're someone important, aren't you afraid of being laughed to death when you say that?"

Bai Xue, being ridiculed for no reason, felt her previously happy mood suddenly turn very somber.

She felt a fire burning in her chest, and the fire was burning so fiercely that she could barely breathe.

The manager showed no intention of apologizing. He gave her a cold look and was about to leave.

But at that moment, there was a "whoosh" sound in the air.

The manager's heart trembled in fear. Immediately after, something brushed past his cheek and embedded itself in the wall.

This incident scared the manager so much that he almost collapsed.

He looked closely and realized it was a chopstick.

Wu Tian's indifferent voice sounded from behind: "You're leaving just like that? That seems a bit inappropriate, don't you think?"

The manager turned back stiffly and immediately met Wu Tian's icy eyes.

And on Wu Tian's table, one chopstick was missing.

After a moment of stunned silence, a surge of anger rushed into the manager's heart.

He glared at Wu Tian and said, "What do you mean? Are you looking for trouble?"

Wu Tian said coldly, "I'm looking for trouble? I think you've got it wrong. Aren't you the one deliberately looking for trouble?"

"I advise you to apologize to her immediately, otherwise, you won't be able to be a manager anymore."

The manager paused, then looked at Wu Tian with suspicion.

He thought that since Wu Tian dared to say such things, perhaps he did have some backing.

But then again, that didn't seem right!

If Wu Tian were truly a rich man, why would he be reluctant to buy even a pair of wine?

Thinking of this, he felt that Wu Tian was bluffing, so he said with a dark expression, "What do you mean? Looking at you, are you trying to threaten me?"

Wu Tian said coldly, "You can understand it that way. I advise you, it's better to keep a low profile."

"If you don't respect others, then in the end, you'll be the one who suffers."

The manager was amused by Wu Tian's words.

He no longer intended to leave, but instead, confidently took two steps forward.

At this moment, he looked down at Wu Tian with a somewhat aggressive demeanor and said, "You want me to suffer? Then I'd like to see if you have the ability to do that today!"
