Chapter 18 Accidents Are Everywhere
Compared with the slowness of the bus, the taxi was much faster. In less than twenty minutes, the taxi stopped in front of the hotel.
"Dude, we're here"
"Oh, thank you, master"
I paid and got off the bus.
Looking at the bustling scene near the bell tower, Xia Xiaomi couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
Thinking of my past life, although I passed by this place countless times, I was never able to go in and enjoy it once. It was really pitiful.
But fortunately, he was reborn and had a system. So what he didn't have in his previous life, he would definitely want it all in this life.
"Come on Zhang Wei, let us go in and see the legendary Bell Tower Hotel"
"Yes, let's see why it's so much more expensive than the food in a cheap restaurant."
The two looked at each other and smiled, then strode in.
As soon as I walked in, I was met by two beautiful doormen.
"Hello sir, may I ask who are you?"
"two people"
"Okay, sir, please come this way."
Looking at Men Ying leading the way, Zhang Wei finally understood why the price of food was so expensive. If nothing else, he would believe Men Ying's figure and appearance even if he said he was a star.
Menying led the two of them straight ahead to a seat by the window, and then stopped.
"Gentlemen, do you think this position is okay?"
“That’s it”
Xia Xiaomi is not that particular, after all, he is here just to eat.
Seeing that the guest agreed, the doorman stepped back.
After waiting for the door to open, Xia Xiaomi silently picked up the menu and read it.
Compared with Xia Xiaomi's calmness, Zhang Wei's performance was a bit excited.
"Xiaomi, do you think this sofa is made of genuine leather? And this table should be made of mahogany, right?"
"Well... it's possible."
"I guess so. Hey, how much salary did that doorman get in a month?"
"two thousand?"
"I think it's three thousand anyway."
...
While the two were chatting, a waiter came over carrying a teapot.
"Hello sir, this is the authentic Hangzhou Longjing tea specially provided by our store. Do you want to order now?"
Compared with the doorman, the waiter's appearance and stature are a bit worse, but fortunately he is friendly and speaks warmly.
"I want golden thread oil tower, gourd chicken, pot stickers..."
Considering Zhang Wei's and his own appetite, Xia Xiaomi ordered five or six dishes in one go, and basically 400 yuan was gone.
But he didn't feel bad at all. After all, he finally came here, and it would be a pity if he didn't feel comfortable after eating.
Besides, if I sell the Goblin suit later, I'll have the money again.
After a while, the table in front of Xia Xiaomi was filled with dishes. The colorful dishes looked very appetizing.
The two of them, who had been extremely hungry for a long time, couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks and start eating.
"Xiaomi, don't tell me. Just because of the taste, it's expensive for a reason."
"That's right, there is nothing wrong with expensive things except that they are expensive."
"Um...Xiaomi, everything you said recently makes sense."
...
The meal lasted for about half an hour and ended with both of them burping.
I called the waiter to pay the bill.
Then the two stood up and walked towards the door.
Unexpectedly, halfway through, when passing a table filled with food, an accident happened.
Zhang Wei, who was walking in front, tripped over something and bumped directly into the table.
With his weight of more than 170 kilograms, the food on the table was knocked everywhere.
Among the several people eating at the dining table, one of them was even splashed all over without any precautions.
"Are you really blind?"
The man who was splashed with soup stood up immediately and started spitting out the fragrance.
Seeing that Zhang Wei was still lying on the ground, and that it was indeed his fault, Xia Xiaomi quickly apologized to the man.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. My friend didn't mean it..."
Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by the other party before he finished speaking.
"I don't care if you did it on purpose, do you know how much this LV jacket costs?"
LV? Xia Xiaomi was a little silent for a moment.
At this time, Zhang Wei, who was knocked to the ground, heard these words as soon as he stood up.
He also knew that it was his fault, so he was ready to compensate the other party.
"LV? How much does it cost? Is one hundred yuan enough?"
"One hundred yuan? If you multiply that by ten, it's still almost the same."
"What? You said your dress is worth a thousand dollars?"
As a poor student, Zhang Wei never imagined that just one piece of clothing could cover his five months' living expenses.
"Why don't you speak? Don't you want to compensate?"
"That's right, our brother Hao's clothes are new."
"Hey, isn't this guy scared out of his mind?"
Seeing the panic on Zhang Wei's face, several people at the table with the man began to boo.
But Xia Xiaomi, who was standing aside, knew that the other party was telling the truth. If the other party's clothes were true, they would really be worth that much money.
Just when he was about to take action, a middle-aged man in a suit walked over.
"Everyone, please stop arguing. I'm Han Tao, the manager here. Give me some respect. Can you sit down and talk about it slowly if you have any questions?"
Unexpectedly, the man rejected Han Tao's proposal without thinking, and then said directly to Zhang Wei, "There is nothing to say. Either I will lose money, or I can only call the police."
As a manager, Han Tao naturally has some skills. Before he came over, he had already understood what happened in detail and knew that something was wrong here. Seeing that the other party insisted on losing money, he could only feel helpless.
He spoke.
"Well, since it happened in our hotel, we also have a certain responsibility. The hotel will pay half of the money."
Han Tao's words cannot be said to be arrogant, but with this move, he received applause from the whole hall.
“Manager Han’s atmosphere”
“Well done, Manager Han”
...
Han Tao waved his hands to everyone, then turned around and said to Zhang Wei who had not yet reacted.
"Little brother, don't worry. Just pay five hundred yuan."
"But I only have one hundred dollars."
Zhang Wei looked aggrieved as he spoke. You must know that this hundred yuan is all his living expenses and savings.
"One hundred yuan? Are you sending the beggar away? Forget it, I'd better call the police."
The man took out his phone as he spoke.
After all, Zhang Wei was just a student. Seeing that the other party really wanted to call the police, he was so frightened that he trembled.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. Don't call me, let me think of a solution."
Seeing her brothers being forced into this situation, Xia Xiaomi really couldn't bear it anymore.
He walked up to that person in two steps and said loudly.
"First of all, please prove to me that your clothes are real. Secondly, since it was us who soiled your clothes, then we will just pay you another piece of clothes. There is no need to be so aggressive, right?"
"Hey, I'm still a Lenba. Well, I don't care. I can pay for the clothes. As for whether the proof is true or not, I just bought this dress from Kaiyuan across the street. Here is the receipt."
I took a look at the receipt handed over by the other party and found that it was exactly what he said. It was an LV jacket worth more than 1,300 yuan.
The other party only asked for a thousand yuan, which was obviously depreciated.
