What I never expected was that I actually met an acquaintance in this hot pot restaurant. It was none other than Xiao Wei, who had been living with me for seven years.
Very unexpected and very surprised.
What happened was that while we were drinking happily, the guests at the next table suddenly got into an argument with a waiter.
It seems that when the waiter passed by, he accidentally mentioned the beer bottle that the customer at the table next to him had placed on the ground. The wine in the bottle spilled out and wet a woman's shoes.
Then a man next to the woman began to complain to the waiter. The waiter also apologized profusely, but the man didn't know what to do and said that he would ask her to find the manager.
At first we didn't pay much attention, thinking it was just a small thing and there was no need to affect our mood.
I was completely stunned until the manager of the hot pot restaurant came over!
Yes, that lobby manager is Xiao Wei.
When I first saw her, I thought my eyes were wrong. But when I saw it was still her, I still didn't believe what a coincidence. I thought it was just a resemblance.
But when I heard her voice later, I didn't hesitate any more. I had heard this voice for seven years and it was so familiar to me.
I never expected to meet her here, and she is also the lobby manager of this hot pot restaurant.
Naturally, Li Feng and the others didn't know Xiao Wei, so they didn't know why I suddenly froze and looked straight at the table next to me.
Li Feng then called me: "Brother Feng, what's the matter with you? You're drinking."
Only then did I come back to my senses, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with them again, and then continued to look at the table next to me.
After Xiao Wei came over, she asked about the situation. Without saying a word, the customer pointed at the waitress and yelled, saying, "Why are your waitresses so bad? Don't you have eyes when you walk?"
He also said that the pair of shoes on his girlfriend’s feet cost tens of thousands, and in a nutshell, he wanted compensation.
I subconsciously took a look at the pair of shoes on the woman's feet. They were women's leather sneakers from Gucci's screener series. The authentic market price is almost 8,000 yuan. They are considered an affordable luxury product, but not high-end.
And when I took a closer look, those words didn't seem to be genuine.
Because the embroidery on the shoe upper is completely different from the original product, including the silly color of the shoe upper, which is also very different from the original product.
But most people can't see this subtle difference. The reason why I can see it is because An Lan happened to have a pair of genuine ones of the same model before.
Or she told me how to tell the difference between genuine products and high imitations, and the pair of Gucci shoes the woman wore were 200% high imitations.
The male customer was very grumpy, and his quarrels became louder and louder. He insisted on asking the hot pot restaurant to come up with a solution, which simply meant losing money.
Xiao Wei also complained to the waiter a few times at first. The waiter was about to cry and kept apologizing to the male customer.
The male customer waved his hand and said fiercely: "Don't fucking apologize to me. For these tens of thousands of yuan of shoes, can you just apologize and be done?"
With that said, he pointed at Xiao Wei and said: "Listen, if your hot pot restaurant doesn't solve this matter for me, I will expose you to Douyin and report your hot pot restaurant."
"Sir, our waiter really didn't mean it, and"
"What's not intentional? I think she did it on purpose. It's so wide over there and she insists on coming to our side to squeeze in. Is she jealous of my beauty?" The woman also stood up and interrupted Xiao.
Wei's words.
It's just that her words really made me laugh. With her face full of semi-permanence, she had the nerve to say that she was beautiful.
Standing in front of her without makeup, Xiao Wei overwhelmed her by several levels. Regardless of Xiao Wei's character, she was definitely one of the top beauties, otherwise I wouldn't have chosen her back then.
The waitress started crying and said she couldn't earn tens of thousands with her face.
The male customer added insult to injury and said, "Crying, what's the use of crying? Little sister, you are responsible for this, so hurry up and find a way to compensate!"
The waiter was crying so hard that it made me feel sad when I saw him crying. I don't know how the male customer could keep his mouth shut.
Xiao Wei seemed a little helpless. She was afraid of affecting other guests, so she had to say to the man: "Sir, please don't get excited. Why don't you come to the office with me and we can go down and talk?"
The male customer made it clear that he was looking for trouble. He slammed the table hard and said, "Why go down and talk? Let's talk here and solve it for me in front of everyone. Otherwise, your hot pot restaurant will never open again."
"
I don’t know where this man got the courage to say this. So what if the shoes are genuine?
It's not related to health issues, so how can we close such a big hotpot restaurant? Isn't this childish?
Xiao Wei frowned tightly, and after a long silence, she said, "Sir, if you don't like this, let's take your girlfriend's shoes to wash first. If we can suck them out, we can talk about compensation, okay?"
"No, can my shoes be washed casually?" The woman snorted again.
At this time, Li Feng and Huang Dong also noticed what happened at the table next to us, and they couldn't stand it anymore.
I definitely want to help with this matter. Even if the lobby manager is not Xiao Wei, if it were anyone else, I would stand up and help, just because those two customers were too difficult.
At this moment, I stood up and walked decisively to the table next to me.
I walked straight behind the woman, and when they were not paying attention, I said, "Beauty, these shoes on your feet are probably not genuine, right?"
After hearing my voice, several people turned to look at me, including Xiao Wei, who recognized me immediately.
Judging from her expression, she was very surprised, just like when I saw her just now.
The woman suddenly became angry and said: "What is not genuine? What do you know? It's none of your business."
I smiled coyly and continued: "It's none of my business, but you use a pair of high imitation Gucci to embarrass a waiter who earns two to three thousand a month. Do you have a good conscience?"
When the man heard what I said, he couldn't sit still, and I yelled: "Boy, what the hell does this have to do with you? Get out of here!"
At the same time, Li Feng and Huang Dong also came over and stood beside me, staring at the man eagerly.
He sneered, looked at Li Feng and the others and said, "You're shaking people off, right? Don't think that you can do anything if you have more people. Even if the King of Heaven comes today, I still have to give me an explanation."
I was still not in a hurry, and said calmly: "I said that the shoes on your girlfriend's feet are fake. Of course I have my reasons. I just heard you say that these shoes cost tens of thousands, so I want to ask you how much they cost.
What about Wan?”
"It's none of your business! Don't pretend to be a hero here." The man yelled at me again.
I still smiled calmly and continued: "Well, you name the number and I will compensate the waiter."
"Are you going to pay?!" The man stared at me.
"Yes, I'll pay, tell me, how much will it cost?"
The man and his girlfriend looked at each other, and they were stunned for a moment. The woman then said, "Thirty-eight thousand!"
I smiled and said, "It seems you are not too loud. I thought you were going to say eighty-three thousand."
"Boy, what do you mean?" The man immediately pointed at me and asked.
I said calmly: "It's not interesting. I recognize this pair of shoes. They are from the Gucci screener series. They are not new products. The market price is less than 8,000. So, you saying 38,000 is absolutely impossible."
After a short pause, I continued: "Besides, these shoes are not authentic."
