Chapter 31: My Hobby Is To Make A Grown
Mister Wang and his cronies took the VIP room that has been prepared by the restaurant. It was a super fancy room with much expensive decoration. Some rumors even said the decoration alone cost around $10000 for one room.
They took a seat in the VIP room and started to inspect the menu.
A few minutes later, one of the cronies stood up and called the waitress.
" Ms. waitress, I was told that this restaurant is one of the best restaurants in the city, so why all the menu and ingredients here are just so-so and was nothing fancy. Even the Blue plate restaurant next door has better ingredients than yours." One of the cronies said with sneers.
" Yeah, I don't really expect much from this restaurant, but not even serving white truffle. I'm starting to doubt whether this is truly a high-class restaurant." Another crony added.
Soon, most of the cronies filed their complaints. It was too much that even the waitress could infer that something is wrong.
The situation was way out of hand. The terrified waitress knows that it would be her doom if this thing was not handled properly, so she called Anna to ask for some help.
Anna came to the VIP room and noticed the severity of the situation, she tried to console the dissatisfied cronies and promised to serve their best dish.
" Gentlemen, the ingredients of this restaurant may not be the top-class ingredients. But the true value of our restaurant was not in the ingredients, instead of on how our special chefs manage to turn those what you called normal ingredients into precious treasure, and I could guarantee the taste." Anna said while giving her best smile.
" Bah, I've never heard such a shameless restaurant owner. Mr. Wang, this restaurant didn't show their utmost sincerity and didn't take Mr. Wang into their eyes. Let's just go and change restaurant."
Hearing the cronies, Mr. Wang just keeps silent, but there was already a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Anna knows the situation wasn't good for them. If this were to continue, the dinner would fail, and their restaurant's reputation would soon go into the sewer. She gritted her teeth and resolved herself. It was already a do-or-die situation, so she decided to take the gamble and put the restaurant's fate in Ray's hands.
" Mr. Wang, please trust our chef for this one. If the food was not to your liking, then we will close our restaurant and never dare to open again." Anna said putting her best to convince the guests.
Immediately upon Anna's word fall, the cronies smile turn sinister. It was all in their calculation to further plunge the Vermillion restaurant into the deepest hell.
" Since Ms. Vermillion has said that much, then we couldn't reject your sincerity and decided to enjoy our dinner here. However, the words said must not be taken back. We hope that Ms. Vermillion will remember her words and do her utmost to fulfill them."
Sh*t!!! Anna knows that she has fallen for their trap. They have joined hands to retaliate against Vermillion restaurant.
Actually, Anna wasn't that dumb. She already knows that something was wrong.
But the intimacy she and Ray have displayed wouldn't lie, and Anna trusts Ray so much that she knows Ray wouldn't let her down.
Before leaving the VIP room, Anna bowed politely to the guest, quickly moving towards Ray who was still chatting with the old man.
" Ray, the guests have arrived. Our restaurant fate is in your hand, please do your best."
Anna said to Ray with expectancy in her eyes. The youth in front of her has brought color and hope into her world. If not for him, maybe she would have fallen into despair from the crony's scheme.
" Leave it to me!" Ray soothes the worried Anna with a confident smile on his face.
He nods to the old man and left toward the kitchen. The old man and mature beauty were pretty interesting, but now he has more important things to do, so naturally, he would prioritize the dinner first for the sake of Anna, Rena, and Aiko.
Ray entered the restaurant's kitchen, signifying their war was about to start.
" Now, let's get started"
…
45 minutes later in the VIP room.
"Nani!!!!"
" Uso."
" Masaka!!"
" KYAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!"
in the VIP rooms, an unnatural scene has been displayed. More than 5 grown-up men were moaning like hell and their faces were full of ecstasy. Some of the worst ones even started to tear up their clothes and scream "Man!!!".
It was Mr. Wang and his cronies. The arrogant face before was nowhere to be seen, and replaced with gaping and moaning face, really unsuitable with their age and posture.
If the video of them doing this were to be shared with the public, this would certainly gather much attention and quickly become viral.
" KYAAAAAA!!!"
" AAHHHHHHHHH!!"
" KIMOCHI!!!!"
" Yamete-senpai, AAHHHHHH"
They were in this super ecstatic mode for about 20 minutes, before slowly regaining their conscience back.
The last to gain his conscience back was the adored Mr. Wang. It was pretty interesting to see the most prestigious and calm-looking man show his inner euphoria without concern.
Mr. Wang looks at his cronies with a stern look, seeming to convey that if words about this were to go out then only doom would await them.
Obviously, the cronies understand about this. They could only laugh awkwardly and act stupid about Mr. Wang's threat.
The atmosphere was still pretty awkward, but not long after, the cronies came up with a good idea.
One of them stood up and called the waitress, telling her to bring Ms. Vermillion and the head chef to the VIP room.
" Good day to you gentlemen. I am Ray, the head chef of this restaurant. Was our food to your liking or there could be something for us to improve?"
Two-person entered the VIP room, they were obviously Ray and Anna. Ray stood there smiling still full of confidence about his food.
" Bah, what food. This dinner was the trashiest dinner I've ever had."
" Yeah, yeah. If not for Mr. Wang, there's no way I would get dinner in this trashy place."
Without waiting, the cronies get into another outbreak of neverending complaints, with one following the other, stating either the restaurant or the food is trash.
Hearing the cronies insulting his food, Ray was not convinced. He has personally tested the dish and hears how much they moan about his dish.
This wave of complaints was clearly another scheme to bring down their restaurant.
Ray looked at the guests with dissatisfaction in his heart, but he still trying to smile to maintain the image of the restaurant.
" Dear guest, from the start most of you have a complaint about the dish was trash or the restaurant was trash. But could you give a better idea about the part of the dish that you didn't like?"
Ray's words instantly silence the complaints. They know deep down in their heart that the dish was superb and they have nothing to complain about. Even so, work is work. They need to do this to gain a better advantage for their business.
One of the cronies was better than the others. He was an old player in this business, so he immediately knows how to respond to Ray.
" Huh, if I say the dish is trash, then the dish is trash. How should we know which part if we are not the chef."
The other cronies look at him with epiphany, it's like they have met their savior and quickly adapt to the situation.
" Yes, the dish was indeed trash. Ms. Vermillion if we're not wrong, you have said that you would close the restaurant if we are unsatisfied with your dish. Now almost everyone is unsatisfied with your food, please don't forget your responsibility."
Anna's face paled at his words. She looks at Ray with some tears on her face. She knows it was not Ray's fault and Ray's food was superb, but she didn't have any solution to the current predicament. She could only hope that Ray was able to bring another miracle to her life.
" Hehe, it was not that us gentlemen were unreasonable. Ms. Vermillion, we could forget your words if you just spend one-night drinking tea with the honorable Mr. Wang here."
Their attention quickly shifted into the still calm Mr. Wang. Different from the others, Mr. Wang didn't file any complaint and choose to keep silent from the start. Still, everybody knows that the calmer a beast, the more dangerous he is.
The situation was really unfavorable to both Anna and Ray.
Anna was not a newbie in this business. She knows that spending one night drinking tea was not as simple as it said. Especially after spending some intimate moments with Ray. The thought of her doing shameful things with another man had just sent a chill down her spine.
On the other side, Ray was glaring dangerously at Mr. Wang and his cronies. He was considering using the golden treasure chest or spend all his system points in a draw.
Suddenly, a voice came in, and instantly attract everyone attention,
" Hohoho, it seems there were some interesting things happening here."
