Chapter 182 People are different, do you understand this?
Yang Chen didn't bother to argue with a small character like Zhang Quan, and quickly took Yuan Xiaozao and his family to choose the seafood they wanted to eat today.
Although Yuan Xiaozao's family is not short of money, they have never been to a place like this to eat.
Faced with various high-end seafood products, they don’t know what to choose.
Therefore, Yuan Xiaozao let Yang Chen make the decision, and he could just watch and choose.
Zhang Jieying also meant the same thing, and she also emphasized that Yang Chen must order whatever he wants to eat, and don't be polite to them, just treat it as a family eating together.
Yuan Xiaozao curled her lips and glared at her mother, what did she say?
It would be bad if Yang Chen misunderstood him later.
Yang Chen nodded with a smile, pointed at the only small grouper and said, "Give this to us!"
At this time, Zhang Quan's female companion also said: "I want to eat this too, waiter, please give us this fish."
The waiter quickly replied: "I'm sorry, miss, this gentleman has already chosen it, you should choose other dishes."
Zhang Quan immediately said: "Is there any mistake? We are reservation customers, and Ms. Liu is still a member here. He didn't even make a reservation, and he is not a member. Are you not clear about who you are supposed to entertain?" p>
The waiter didn't know Yang Chen's true identity, but the store manager said he would treat him well, which meant that his identity was certainly not simple.
If a member and a friend of the store manager must offend one another, of course it is the wisest choice to offend the member and please the friend of the store manager.
Waiter: "I'm sorry, you two. This gentleman chose first. You should choose someone else. As long as you can come in, you are our honored guest. We will treat everyone equally and fairly."
Zhang Quan: "He is just an online ride-hailing driver. This is Stefanie Liu, the daughter of Mr. Liu Chuanxiong, the chairman of Agarwood Collection Art Appraisal and Sales Co., Ltd. Who should I give it to? Can't you tell?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment. There was a huge difference in identity between the two parties.
Could this online ride-hailing driver be just an ordinary friend of the store manager?
Even if the store manager comes in person, he probably won’t offend a member for a common friend, right?
The waiter asked in a low voice: "Sir, do you think you can change it?"
Yang Chen's temper is such that he won't take the initiative to cause trouble, but if anyone deliberately provokes him, he will fight back with all his strength!
"How is this possible? I want it first, so of course it will be given to us. You'd better ask the store manager for instructions before deciding what to do." Yang Chen reminded.
The waiter thought it made sense and quickly asked his colleagues to consult the store manager.
Soon, the store manager ran over.
"Haha... Mr. Yang, Miss Liu, I'm sorry, there is only one grouper today. This is all our restaurant's fault. I apologize to everyone on behalf of the restaurant." The store manager said very level.
Zhang Quan: "Store manager, he is not a member and has not made a reservation, so how can he come in? Come in as soon as you come in, and he even grabs ingredients from us. He is just an online ride-hailing driver. You must give him the fish."
, instead of giving it to us?"
The store manager's idea is not to offend Yang Chen, because he is the boss's friend.
But we can’t offend Stefanie Liu. After all, she is Liu Chuanxiong’s daughter and she is also a member.
So, the store manager said: "Mr. Yang is a friend of our boss, and I hope you don't make things difficult for us wage earners. In this way, this fish will be given to Mr. Yang and the others. As compensation, we will give you a wave dragon."
.Okay?"
The boss’s friend?
Isn’t that Xue Yinong’s friend?
How could an online ride-hailing driver be Xue Yinong’s friend?
Stefanie Liu: "Are you Miss Xue's friend?"
Yang Chen: "Yes!"
Stefanie Liu: "How come Miss Xue has a friend like you? Are you really a ride-hailing driver?"
Yang Chen: "Yes! My job is to be an online ride-hailing driver."
Stefanie Liu couldn't understand, how could Xue Yinong interact with an online ride-hailing driver?
In any case, since Yang Chen is Xue Yinong's friend, he can't compete with him.
"Okay, I'll give Miss Xue and the store manager some face and won't steal it from you. However, it's just this once and I won't do it next time!" Stefanie Liu said.
The store manager nodded happily and said, "Thank you, Miss Liu, for your understanding."
Stefanie Liu snorted and took Zhang Quan to choose other dishes.
Store manager: "Mr. Yang, I'm sorry, don't take it personally."
Yang Chen smiled and nodded, saying: "It's okay, you go and do your work."
Store manager: "Okay, okay."
The store manager whispered to the waiter: "No matter what happens, take care of Mr. Yang first. Do you understand?"
The waiter nodded.
Soon, Yang Chen and the others selected the seafood and returned to their seats to wait.
Zhang Jieying: "Mr. Yang, are you friends with the owner of this store?"
Yang Chen: "Yes! I didn't know it at first, but when I saw her poster at the door, I knew it was her restaurant."
Zhang Jieying nodded, but she couldn't help but murmur in her heart.
Xue Yinong is beautiful, and is the owner of such a high-end restaurant. Her conditions are much better than Yuan Xiaozao, so doesn’t her daughter have no chance?
If she were Yang Chen, she would definitely choose a girl like Xue Yinong as his wife instead of Yuan Xiaozao.
With nothing to do, Yang Chen carefully admired the decoration in the store.
It is indeed a high-end custom-made restaurant, and the decoration is not ordinary luxury.
The walls are hung with calligraphy and paintings by various masters, and the vases are also blue and white porcelain. There are two vases next to each table, containing roses and other flowers just bought in the morning.
A meal here will cost at least 10,000 yuan, and the dishes and decoration must make customers feel that the money is worth it.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why Xue Yinong wanted to put these valuable things in the restaurant.
Soon, the waiter served the food.
Yang Chen's table was all served, and only Zhang Quan's table was served appetizers.
This is such an obvious difference in treatment.
Although Liu Yanzi was angry, she came from a famous family after all, so it was not easy for her to act like a shrew in front of so many people. Moreover, this was Xue Yinong's place, so she didn't dare to be too arrogant.
But Zhang Quan doesn't have these concerns, and he has a bit of a grudge against Yang Chen in his heart, so naturally he can't accept Yang Chen's preferential treatment.
"Waiter!" Zhang Quan shouted.
The waiter came over quickly and asked: "Sir, do you need anything?"
Zhang Quan: "Obviously we came in first to order, but why were they only given so many plates of side dishes to our table when all their tables were served? Can you give me a reasonable explanation?"
Waiter: "It depends on how the kitchen cooks it, then we will serve it. Sorry, I don't know why this happens."
Zhang Quan: "Go and call the chef! What do you mean? Are you deliberately trying to cause trouble for us?"
Waiter: "Sorry, sir, the kitchen is busy right now. If the chef comes over, it will delay your serving time even more."
Stefanie Liu: "Okay! It's none of your business, just go away."
The waiter nodded, bowed and walked away.
Zhang Quan still wanted to speak, but Stefanie Liu immediately said, "Okay! Stop talking, I am a friend of the boss, what about you?"
Zhang Quan said unconvinced: "He is just an online ride-hailing driver. Even if he is a friend of the boss, it is definitely just a friendship for some reason. I am not a friend of the boss, I admit this, but I am Haicheng
The youngest professor at the Academy of Fine Arts, am I not as good as him?"
Stefanie Liu didn't want to quarrel with Zhang Quan, and she thought there was nothing wrong with what he said, so she didn't answer the conversation.
The more Zhang Quan thinks about it, the angrier he becomes. Why is he always being suppressed by this online ride-hailing driver?
What a coward!
After eating for a while, Yuan Xiaozao's father, Yuan Zhengjun, was sweating, so he took off his coat and hung it on the chair.
When he sat down, his butt accidentally hit the vase behind him.
"Pa!"
A crisp cracking sound shook the entire restaurant, and the diners all showed mocking smiles of gloating.
"Wow, this meal is expensive."
"The vases here are all custom-made blue and white porcelain, each costing hundreds of thousands."
"Hey, people who don't belong here shouldn't come. If you act rashly, you will definitely make mistakes."
"There's nothing wrong with this. If you don't belong to this circle, don't force your way in. Even if you force your way in, it won't end well."
"How noble an online ride-hailing driver and his friends can be."
……
Zhang Quan was extremely happy, as if Yuan Zhengjun's breaking of a vase would bring him some benefit.
The store manager ran over and stamped his feet anxiously when he saw the debris on the ground.
It's such a pity that hundreds of thousands of dollars are gone just like that.
Yuan Zhengjun panicked and said quickly: "I accidentally touched my butt when I was putting my clothes away. I didn't mean it."
The store manager immediately said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a vase. Our employees must have not put it properly when they placed it. I'm sorry. Come and get rid of the broken pieces. Don't delay the guests' dining." Everyone was shocked. Is this person sure to be the store manager Zhou Haibo?
Why does it feel a little abnormal?
Yang Chen said with a smile: "If you break something, you must compensate for it. We can't make it difficult for the store manager. How much compensation should be paid will be settled together when we pay the bill."
Yuan Xiaozao also quickly said: "Yes! We will definitely bear the responsibility for the broken vase. You can just charge the original price for the amount of compensation."
Zhang Quan couldn't help but smile and said: "A vase costs hundreds of thousands, do you have enough money?"
"Ah? Hundreds of thousands? It's so expensive!" Yuan Zhengjun was shocked.
Zhang Jieying: "What brand of vase is this? Why is it so expensive? Is it an antique?"
Zhou Haibo laughed loudly and said: "It's not that much money, it's not an antique, it's just a very ordinary vase. Since you said you want compensation for the original price, then let's pay 5,000 yuan."
Yang Chen: "Huh? Is it a decoration?"
Zhou Haibo: "Haha... Yes, decorations. There are so many people coming and going here. How can there be hundreds of thousands of things displayed?"
Yang Chen nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. Let's forget it later and we will compensate you."
Zhou Haibo: "Okay, okay. Thank you Mr. Yang and everyone for your understanding. Then you can continue to eat and we won't disturb you."
Yang Chen smiled and nodded.
Zhang Quan turned his head and looked at the blue and white porcelain vase next to him. He couldn't help but poke it a few times and said, "Damn! I thought it was real blue and white porcelain."
After saying that, he poked hard and prepared to pick up the chopsticks to eat.
"Pa!"
Zhang Quan's last thrust was so hard that the vase shook and fell.
Everyone looked at Zhang Quan again.
The store manager Zhou Haibo was feeling distressed about the vase just now. When he heard the sound of breaking again from behind, his heart suddenly broke as well.
"Who is it? Who broke the vase again!" Zhou Haibo ran back screaming.
Seeing the broken vase on the floor of Zhang Quan's table, Zhou Haibo felt extremely distressed.
However, Stefanie Liu was a member after all, so Zhou Haibo couldn't get angry directly, so he smiled and said: "Miss Liu, look..."
Before Liu Yanzi could say anything, Zhang Quan rushed to the rescue and said: "It's just 5,000 yuan, we'll just pay it. When we finish eating, we'll settle the bill together."
Zhou Haibo said with a smile: "It's a good thing that this gentleman is willing to compensate, but what does Miss Liu mean?"
Stefanie Liu said nonchalantly: "He said he would pay for it, so let's pay for it."
Zhou Haibo smiled and nodded, saying: "It's fine if you two are willing to compensate, but it's not 5,000 yuan, but 168,000 yuan."
"How much? 168,000? Are you blackmailing someone?" Zhang Quan said in shock.
Other diners were also stunned.
Table No. 10 in front of me just broke a vase, and Zhou Haibo only asked for 5,000 yuan in compensation.
In less than two minutes, table No. 9 also broke a vase, and he actually demanded 168,000 yuan in compensation.
Does the distinction need to be so obvious?
Stefanie Liu was not happy anymore and asked: "Manager Zhou, what do you mean? If he broke it, it would be 5,000, and if we broke it, it would be 168,000? Don't tell me that the vase he broke was ordinary.
, the one we broke is an antique."
Zhang Quan said angrily: "Don't think of me as being taken advantage of, I won't accept the compensation you said!"
Zhou Haibo explained with a smile: "Everyone should know that everything in our store is authentic. The paintings on the wall and the vases on the table are all exquisite products carefully selected by our boss.
Although the blue and white porcelain we customized from jdz is a modern product, the high-quality blue and white porcelain made by masters is relatively expensive. Ms. Liu's family should know if they make this. Of course, we are not asking for compensation out of thin air. We have an order contract, and each
Each vase has a number, price, etc. If you two need it, we can take it out and show it to you."
Zhang Quan: "Okay! Take it out and show it to me!"
Zhou Haibo nodded and said: "Just a moment, you two, I'll be back as soon as I go."
After saying that, Zhou Haibo went back to the office to get the evidence.
Yang Chen chuckled, only now did he understand the truth.
Zhou Haibo deliberately only claimed 5,000 yuan because of the relationship between Yang Chen and Xue Yinong.
However, Zhang Quan and Xue Yinong had no such relationship, so Zhou Haibo claimed compensation for the original price.
The diners all started talking in confusion.
"What's going on? Didn't Zhou Haibo just say it was just a decoration? Why did he say it was customized blue and white porcelain now?"
"He's trying to blackmail people blatantly. It's outrageous. He wants 5,000 in the front and 168,000 in the back. He's not bullying people like that."
"If they really dare to blackmail people like this, who will dare to come here in the future! Darling, the vase is placed next to it. If you are not careful, you will touch it. The opening of the vase that earns 5,000 yuan is only 168,000 yuan, so you are stealing money!" p>
……
Soon, Zhou Haibo came with a package of materials.
These are the purchase contracts, as well as the number description, price, etc. corresponding to each vase.
Zhou Haibo found the material for the vase numbered 18 that Zhang Quan had broken, and handed it to him and Stefanie Liu to look at.
When the two of them saw that the purchase price above was indeed 168,000, they were immediately stunned.
The contract and materials have the seals of both parties and cannot be faked.
Zhou Haibo: "If you two still don't believe it and feel that our boss needs to blackmail customers in this way, I can ask her to come and handle it personally."
Everyone who was watching the excitement crowded over to look at the materials and gave their own opinions.
"The seals of both parties are there, so there will definitely not be any fraud."
"Ms. Xue will not commit fraud."
"That means this vase is indeed worth 168,000 yuan. Then I don't understand. Why did you have to pay 5,000 yuan in compensation if table No. 10 was broken? And if table No. 9 was broken, you have to pay the original price?"
"That's right! You can't treat us differently! Who dares to come to eat if you do this?"
……
Zhang Quan also followed what everyone said and asked: "Even if I admit that these are true, a vase costs 168,000 yuan, then why should he pay 5,000 yuan if he breaks it, and if I break it, I have to pay the original price of 168,000 yuan?"
?"
Zhou Haibo asked with a smile: "Are you friends with our boss?"
Zhang Quan shook his head.
Zhou Haibo: "That's right. Mr. Yang is a good friend of our boss. If his friend breaks the vase, how can we claim compensation? We ask him for 5,000 compensation because Mr. Yang is too strict and insists on compensation.
, I had no choice but to ask for 5,000 yuan. According to my opinion, I shouldn’t have to claim compensation from Mr. Yang. As for you, you are not a good friend of our boss. Of course, if you break something, you have to pay the price." Everyone was stunned. This reason was so strong that everyone was speechless.
Is it abnormal for the boss’s friends to get discounts?
Is it abnormal for a friend who is not the boss to compensate the original price?
But everyone doesn’t understand. Didn’t I say that this guy is an online ride-hailing driver?
How could an online ride-hailing driver become good friends with Ms. Xue and receive such great preferential treatment?
The original price of the vase was 168,000 yuan, and Zhou Haibo was unwilling to ask for compensation. When he insisted on compensation, Zhou Haibo reluctantly asked for 5,000 yuan.
Even if they are biological brothers and sisters, this is nothing more than that, right?
Zhang Quan said unconvinced: "Even if what you said is correct, if he breaks the same vase, he will pay 5,000, and if I break it, I will pay the original price of 168,000. I definitely can't accept it. Either I pay 5,000,
Either we all pay 168,000, you can’t treat them differently!"
Zhou Haibo said with a smile: "If Mr. Zhang says that, then we will have to meet him in court."
Stefanie Liu hurriedly said: "For my sake, store manager Zhou, can you please be accommodating?"
Zhou Haibo smiled and replied: "Then add a zero, and this gentleman will pay 160,000 yuan."
Damn it!
Who is disgusting?
If the compensation of 168,000 yuan is exempted from 8,000 yuan, the Liu family’s face is only worth 8,000 yuan?
"That's too much!" Zhang Quan said, and then he called his father.
Zhang Quan’s father, Zhang Tiancang, is the deputy director of Haicheng Museum and a well-known calligrapher.
Zhang Quan’s mother, Liu Xiuling, opened a calligraphy, painting and other art trading company. In addition to trading antiques and art, they were also responsible for running art auctions and other businesses.
Zhang Quan can be regarded as inheriting the artistic talent of his parents, and also relying on their social connections to successfully become a professor at the Haicheng Academy of Fine Arts at the age of 27.
Zhang Quan’s idea is that since Yang Chen and Xue Yinong are friends, they can only compensate 5,000 yuan for the 168,000 vase. Then if he asks his father or mother to come forward, can’t he also rely on social connections to force the restaurant to ask for less compensation?
?
When Zhang Tiancang heard that his son said that Xue Lihong broke the vase, he immediately became furious.
But as a deputy director, he has nothing to do with the Xue family and cannot help his son.
So, he asked his son to call his mother.
Mom's company recently cooperated with Xue Yinong.
Zhang Quan quickly called his mother.
As soon as his mother heard that he broke a vase in Xue Yinong's restaurant, she immediately said in an orderly tone: "Immediately compensate for the original price without any delay! Do you understand me clearly?"
Zhang Quan was stunned, and then complained: "Mom, I called you to help me, not to ask you to order me to compensate!"
Liu Xiuling immediately replied: "Mom just received four paintings from Miss Xue, and they will be auctioned soon. You messed up for me at this time, and my mother suffered a huge loss. Isn't all the money my mother earned given to you? This
Doesn’t that mean you lost a lot of money?”
Hey, there’s nothing wrong with what you say.
Besides, Xue Yinong can later change the company to run the auction of the four paintings. There will be no good consequences for offending her at this time.
Zhang Quan said oh and hung up the phone.
Then he became very reluctant and helplessly said to Zhou Haibo: "Manager Zhou, I'm sorry, I spoke loudly just now. I apologize to you and am willing to compensate you for the original price. I am deeply sorry for disturbing everyone's meal. I apologize to everyone."
”
The other diners couldn't help laughing.
Brother, can you do it?
Others call to ask someone to solve the problem. Why do you call to order yourself to apologize and compensate?
Brother, if you don’t have that ability, don’t pretend to be awesome. This phone call sounds like you are really awesome.
In contrast, the online ride-hailing driver brother is so awesome. If he hadn’t taken the initiative to offer compensation, the store manager wouldn’t have dared to ask for it.
I can only say that people are different. Brother, do you understand this?
It was the first time that diners showed such respect to an online ride-hailing driver, and they all cast admiring glances.
Stefanie Liu felt very embarrassed, so she took out her membership card and said: "Swipe your card to pay, and I will aaa with him."
Zhou Haibo nodded and quickly finished half of it.
Stefanie Liu took the card and left directly.
Zhang Quan wanted to chase him out, but Zhou Haibo quickly stopped him and said: "Mr. Zhang, Miss Liu told you aa, she paid half of it, and you haven't paid your half and the vase compensation yet."
Zhou Haibo looked sad and obediently took out his bank card to pay the bill...
Yuan Xiaozao: "Hee hee... Brother Chen, you are so awesome. If you don't pay, they won't dare to ask for compensation. Look at him, hee hee... he will pay the original price and make his girlfriend angry and run away."<
/p>
Yang Chen: "I'm also lucky. I'm just friends with the owner of this store. Okay, let's eat."
Yuan Xiaozao's family immediately happily asked Yang Chen to eat more.
The more Zhang Jieying looked at Yang Chen, the more she liked her, and she thought to herself: "Oh, it would be great if he could be my son-in-law. Xiaozao, be smart and use some means to catch him."
Zhang Quan paid the bill and was about to leave when two familiar and beautiful figures walked in...
