Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints

Chapter 334 - 182: People Are Different—Have You Understood This Principle?

Yang Chen didn’t bother to argue with someone as insignificant as Zhang Quan. He quickly led Yuan Xiaozao’s family to select the seafood they would eat today.

Although Yuan Xiaozao’s family wasn’t short on money, they had never been to a place like this to eat before.

Faced with various high-end seafood products, they didn’t know what to choose.

So, Yuan Xiaozao asked Yang Chen to make the decision. As long as he picked something, it would be fine.

Zhang Jieying shared the same sentiment and particularly emphasized that Yang Chen should order whatever he wanted to eat and not be polite with them, just as if a family were dining together.

Yuan Xiaozao glared at her mother, pouting. What’s she talking about?

It would be terrible if Yang Chen misunderstood.

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, pointing to the only small grouper and said, "We’ll take this one."

Just then, Zhang Quan’s female companion said, "I want to eat this too. Waiter, give us this fish."

The waiter responded quickly, "I’m sorry, miss. This gentleman has already chosen it. You better select something else."

Zhang Quan immediately said, "Are you kidding? We’re reservation customers, and Miss Liu is a member here. He didn’t even make a reservation and isn’t a member. Don’t you know whom you should preferentially serve? Can’t you figure this out?"

The waiter didn’t know Yang Chen’s true identity, but the manager had instructed them to treat him well, indicating his identity was probably not simple.

If it was necessary to offend either a member or the manager’s friend, it would be wiser to offend the member and please the manager’s friend.

The waiter said, "Sorry, you two. This gentleman chose first. Please select something else. Anyone who enters is our esteemed guest, and we ensure equal and fair treatment."

Zhang Quan said, "He’s just a rideshare driver. This is Miss Liu Yanzi, daughter of Mr. Liu Chuanxiong, chairman of Agarwood Collection Artwork Appraisal and Sales Co., Ltd. Can’t you tell who deserves it more?"

The waiter was stunned; the disparity in status was enormous.

Could this rideshare driver be just a regular friend of the manager?

Even if the manager came in person, he probably wouldn’t offend a member for the sake of a regular friend, right?

The waiter softly asked, "Sir, could you please consider switching?"

Yang Chen wasn’t someone who courted trouble, but if someone deliberately provoked him, he would fiercely retaliate with all his might!

"How could that be possible? I chose first, so it’s obviously ours. You’d better consult the manager and then decide what to do," Yang Chen advised.

The waiter found it reasonable and quickly asked a colleague to consult the manager.

Soon, the manager came running over.

"Haha... Mr. Yang, Miss Liu, sorry, there’s only one grouper left today. This is entirely our restaurant’s fault, and on behalf of the restaurant, I apologize to everyone," the manager said skillfully.

Zhang Quan said, "Manager, he isn’t a member and didn’t make a reservation, so how did he even get in? And now, he’s competing with us for ingredients. He’s just a rideshare driver. Are you sure you want to give the fish to him instead of us?"

The manager decided not to offend Yang Chen as he was the boss’s friend.

But he couldn’t offend Liu Yanzi either since she was Liu Chuanxiong’s daughter and a member.

Thus, the manager said, "Mr. Yang is a friend of our boss. I hope both of you won’t make it difficult for us workers. How about this: we’ll give the fish to Mr. Yang’s party. As compensation, we’ll offer you a Boston lobster. Is that alright?"

The boss’s friend?

Wouldn’t that mean he’s a friend of Xue Yinong?

How could a rideshare driver be friends with Xue Yinong?

Liu Yanzi: "Are you Miss Xue’s friend?"

Yang Chen: "Yes!"

Liu Yanzi: "How could Miss Xue have a friend like you? Are you really a rideshare driver?"

Yang Chen: "Yes! My job is a rideshare driver."

Liu Yanzi couldn’t understand how Xue Yinong would cross paths with a rideshare driver.

In any case, since Yang Chen was indeed Xue Yinong’s friend, she couldn’t contend with him.

"Alright, I’ll give face to Miss Xue and the manager and not compete with you. But just this once, no next time!" Liu Yanzi said.

The manager gratefully nodded and said, "Thank you, Miss Liu, for your understanding."

Liu Yanzi snorted and went with Zhang Quan to select other dishes.

Manager: "Mr. Yang, sorry for the trouble. I hope you don’t mind."

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, saying, "It’s fine, go ahead with your work."

Manager: "Alright, alright."

The manager whispered instructions to the waiter, "Whatever happens, prioritize taking care of Mr. Yang. Understand?"

The waiter nodded.

Soon, Yang Chen and his party chose their seafood and returned to their seats to wait.

Zhang Jieying: "Mr. Yang, you’re friends with this restaurant’s boss?"

Yang Chen: "Yes! At first, I didn’t know, but when I saw her poster at the entrance, I realized this was her restaurant."

Zhang Jieying nodded, mulling it over quietly.

With Xue Yinong’s beauty and being the boss of such an upscale restaurant, her conditions were much better than Yuan Xiaozao’s, doesn’t that mean her daughter has no chance?

If she were Yang Chen, she’d surely choose a girl like Xue Yinong as a wife and wouldn’t pick Yuan Xiaozao.

With nothing else to do, Yang Chen carefully admired the restaurant’s decor.

It truly was an upscale, custom restaurant; the decor was exceptionally luxurious.

The walls were adorned with calligraphy and paintings by various masters, and the vases were blue and white porcelain, with two vases placed beside each table, filled with freshly purchased roses and other flowers.

A meal here would cost at least ten thousand yuan, so they must ensure the food and decor make the customers feel their money is well spent.
