Chapter 186 Different Strata
This turn of events came too quickly.
What was supposed to be a class reunion had instantly devolved into two opposing factions.
Wang Hao stood on one side, smug and self-satisfied. He felt that having spent over sixty million in this restaurant, he was now the absolute god of this establishment.
While it was indeed a high-end restaurant, most patrons only spent a few thousand yuan here. Spending hundreds of thousands or millions already made one a significant patron.
Someone like himself, spending over sixty million on a single meal, was utterly unprecedented.
Wang Hao looked at the manager Zhou opposite him and impatiently barked, "What are you standing around for? Don't you see my face has been scalded by this lowly delivery driver?"
"I am your restaurant's esteemed customer, your god! Are you stupid now?"
Liu Ran watched this scene in horror. She stepped forward and quickly grabbed Chen Yang's arm, then continuously apologized to Wang Hao, "Wang Hao, don't be rash. We can discuss things. We can also discuss the meal cost. Please don't resort to violence."
Hearing this, Wang Hao turned to Liu Ran, furious, and said, "Fine, no violence! You guys pay for this meal, and then you stay with me for the night, and I won't pursue this further."
Liu Ran gritted her teeth, then spoke, "We can pay for the meal, but you can forget about the rest. Wang Hao, we're classmates. For the sake of our old friendship, let's sit down and talk properly."
Wang Hao's anger erupted. He kicked a stool and said coldly, "Talk properly about what? Old classmates? Hmph, you lot think you're worthy of being my classmates? I spent my hard-earned money to host you today, and this is the result. Let me tell you, you're not leaving today, and neither is that good-for-nothing Chen Yang. I'll show you what a difference in class means!"
Wang Hao, utterly enraged, then roared at the service staff at the entrance of the Xingyun Haohan restaurant, "What are you all standing around for? Grab that useless Chen Yang!"
Manager Zhou's forehead was already covered in cold sweat. He dared not delay any longer. He immediately waved his hand, leading the people behind him towards Wang Hao.
Upon reaching Wang Hao, Manager Zhou raised his hand and slapped him across his scalded face.
Wang Hao froze for a moment, then angrily cursed, "Damn it, why are you hitting me? I am your restaurant's VIP, a super VIP who has spent over sixty million here! You damn..."
Before Wang Hao could finish, Manager Zhou raised his hand again and delivered another slap, followed by a kick that sent Wang Hao to the ground. Then, Manager Zhou waved his hand and shouted, "Beat him until he submits! Also, make him pay immediately and compensate for all the losses our restaurant has incurred."
Everyone in the private room was stunned. They had all assumed that Wang Hao, having spent over sixty million here, must be a super VIP of the restaurant, as finding such a generous spender was rare.
But to their surprise, he was being brutally beaten by the restaurant's staff.
Chen Yang let out a cold laugh, then reached out and took Liu Ran's hand. He said, "Wife, see? This is your so-called class reunion. Don't attend these pathetic gatherings anymore. It's really boring."
Liu Ran nodded instinctively, then lowered her head slightly in shame. She quickly said to Chen Yang, "I understand, Chen Yang. Let's leave now. This place is truly uninteresting."
Chen Yang nodded and, holding Liu Ran's hand, led her out of the private room.
Shi Lei and the other classmates were also terrified by this turn of events. They couldn't understand why the staff of Xingyun Haohan restaurant were so violent and acted so unpredictably!
Logically, these service staff should have been fawning over Wang Hao, as he was a truly wealthy man. But now, they had beaten Wang Hao severely while letting Chen Yang and Liu Ran leave.
Shi Lei swallowed hard. Seeing the menacing service staff, he no longer dared to linger and turned to leave. The other high school classmates also hastily vacated the private room.
Inside, Wang Hao was beaten black and blue, his nose and face covered in blood, almost to the point of losing consciousness.
The beating lasted for a full half hour.
Manager Zhou said coldly, "Kid, pay the money immediately. After you pay, get out. This restaurant doesn't welcome you anymore."
Hearing this, Wang Hao's anger surged again, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He couldn't understand why he was being treated like a dog after spending money here. The service staff hadn't listened to him earlier, constantly focusing on Chen Yang and only taking his commands.
Now, the general manager was also beating him and letting Chen Yang escape.
Were these people in the restaurant brainless?
Wang Hao was escorted downstairs by the service staff to pay and compensate for damages.
This amounted to over sixty million. Wang Hao couldn't produce such a large sum in cash. Trembling, he spoke to Manager Zhou, "C... can I owe you a few days? I will definitely repay you. You know that Lantian Building is mine. I just don't have the cash right now."
"Once I sell Lantian Building, I'll have money. Tens of millions are nothing to me. I'll have at least over a billion then."
Manager Zhou frowned upon hearing this and said coldly, "Owing for three days is acceptable. You must repay the money on time after three days, or I will bring all my employees to find you. Additionally, the interest for three days is ten million per day, meaning you will owe us ninety-five million after three days."
Wang Hao was so enraged by this interest rate that he almost vomited blood. However, he dared not refuse now, as the restaurant staff were everywhere, and more importantly, this was Hong San Ye's establishment.
Despite his arrogance, Wang Hao knew of Hong San Ye's reputation and knew he was no match for him. So, this time, he had no choice but to begrudgingly accept.
After signing and making a mark, Wang Hao left the restaurant in a sorry state.
The more he thought about it, the more furious he became. He had spent over ninety million for nothing, gotten beaten up, been humiliated by Chen Yang several times, and his relationship with Liu Ran had worsened even further!
Let alone taking advantage of Liu Ran, he hadn't even managed to hold her hand today!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. As he walked, he stumbled and fell into a flowerbed.
He was furious, angry, and trembling with rage.
Just then, four people caught up. The one in front hurried to help Wang Hao up.
He quickly said, "Young Master Wang, there's no need to be angry. We did suffer a loss today, but it's also because your thinking hasn't caught up yet."
Wang Hao got up indignantly and asked Hei Dao, who was beside him, "Uncle Hei Dao, how has my thinking not caught up? I was working hard to get a woman, where did I go wrong?"
Hei Dao chuckled and said, "Young Master Wang, you are now the boss of us. You own an industry worth over a billion. To be honest, you and Liu Ran are no longer in the same class."
"So, in my opinion, your methods today were too low-level. You haven't realized what your status is now!"
