Imperial Treasure

Chapter 619 - 402 Su Zimu_2

"Ah~~"

The scream rose just like that,

Sui Yi naturally placed the scorching hot spoon down.

He stood up.

So did Su Zimu and the others, just as naturally.

No matter what, this hotpot meal was no longer an option.

Anyway, they were already half full; they were all girls, with no need to stuff themselves fully—ah, the majority rules, and the gluttonous Xia Yan had to leave too...

But a disgruntled Zhang Haobai, unwilling to let things slide, said, "Heh, what a vicious woman, thinks she can leave? No way!"

With a stern face, he suddenly reached for Sui Yi’s arm...

The chair in front of him suddenly slid, whoosh...

And he bumped into it hard, sending him tumbling down on his butt and further crashing into others, scattering them all over.

Just like bowling pins.

The scene was so peculiar.

The manager’s eyes bulged, thinking something was off—could there be an expert among that table?

In the chaos, Zhang Haobai and the others were in a sorry state, cursing...

Someone pushed the door open, paused upon seeing the scene, made a phone call, and then walked over.

The manager was still troubled, looking back and forth between Sui Yi’s group and Zhang Haobai.

Since time immemorial, it has always been easier to deal with the good than with the troublesome...

On one side were four men, and on the other, a group of young girls (the only boy still had a youthful air).

The number of people was not the point.

The manager straightened his appearance and looked at Sui Yi and the others with serious eyes, about to speak...

When a hand extended a cell phone to him.

Huh?

He looked up to see a young girl in a flowing cyan gown, with a scarf of elusive and delicate designs around her neck, her eyes and brows picturesque, exuding an aura of both elegance and demure beauty.

The clothes were expensive, the scarf too!

A rich person!

Wealthier than Zhang Haobai!

Her cell phone was expensive, and from it came a voice.

The manager’s face changed, he quickly took the cell phone and spoke respectfully for a bit, then handed it back to the girl with a smile.

The aftermath surprised many, yet it was expected by others.

Apologies, a free meal, and a promise of a 30% discount next time—a level of service comparable to five-star hotels...

Sui Yi and the rest left soon after.

Inside, before Zhang Haobai could start cursing, the manager said, "Zhang Haobai, given your repeated bad behavior in our restaurant, our boss has decided to put you on our no-service list. Please don’t come back in the future."

Typically, the food service industry wouldn’t treat a customer this way unless the person was extremely reprehensible and the establishment itself had a strong background.

Zhang Haobai’s face turned ashen, just as he was about to erupt.

The manager already continued calmly with a hint of satisfaction, "Just a reminder, our restaurant is not just any individually owned business. Our boss is someone who can walk sideways in the Capital City; he just chose to invest in this place because he graduated from Beijing University and has always enjoyed hotpot. As for your family, let’s not even talk about your roots in Guangdong — even here in the Capital City, one hundred million in assets really isn’t a lot... My advice to you, don’t play with fire... It’s not wise to provoke the people living at the feet of the Forbidden City..."

He spoke with a mix of firmness and softness, gauging his advantage well, but his stance was clear.

Zhang Haobai wasn’t a fool; he caught the threat immediately, and then, upon rethinking, he looked towards the group that hadn’t yet left outside the glass door...

"It’s that woman from just now..."

"Another word of advice, you can’t afford to provoke her. The assets of her family are more than a hundred times your family’s wealth, a legacy of several generations..."

The manager stopped there, actually having just learnt this from his boss himself, to prevent any future offense. By reminding Zhang Haobai now, he hoped to deter this clueless man from causing further trouble.

After all, good after-sales service is a must.

So upon hearing this, Zhang Haobai immediately simmered down.

A hundred times?

That would mean tens of billions? From a family of several generations...

Zhang Haobai clenched his teeth and held back!

Meanwhile, outside the entrance, Sui Yi and the others were saying their goodbyes.

Yhan Qingwu, Liang Bing, Su Zimu, and other notable figures from campus had seen each other a few times, and a friendly exchange of smiles was natural, especially since she had just smoothly resolved the situation, leaving everyone with a very positive impression of her.

Su Ziyi recognized Yhan Qingwu and greeted her before turning to Sui Yi—actually, he wanted to invite Sui Yi...

"Are you all leaving?"

"Yes, Ah Yi needs some plants for her place, so I’m going with her to the flower market. Does anyone want to come see?" Yhan Qingwu’s suggestion made Xia Yan smile, just as she was about to speak, Liang Bing pinched her waist, eliciting another scream.

They quickly said their goodbyes...

Su Zimu also shook his head, politely refusing, and left with Su Ziyi.

As for Mo Ke...

The girl glanced at her wristwatch and smiled faintly, "What a pity, I just happen to have some things to do... If the two of you come across any nice kaffir lilies, could you keep them in mind for me?"

Sui Yi and the other nodded, watching as Mo Ke turned and left...

"Su Ziyi originally comes from the Su family of the Capital City... a noble lineage that values literature, with generations of celebrated literati, and this generation’s most distinguished is this Su Zimu..." Yhan Qingwu’s words were actually a suggestion to Sui Yi.

Sui Tang Square had a portion of its business dedicated to literary pursuits, and making connections with the Su family was a sensible strategy for establishing oneself in the Capital City. The Su family has always been proud and rarely mingled with others, yet Sui Yi had Su Ziyi before him and Su Zimu now, although not deep connections, at least a good start had been made.

Sui Yi understood Yhan Qingwu’s meaning and nodded slightly. Looking up to see a light rain, he took the umbrella Yhan Qingwu was holding, opened it, and said softly, "There’s no shortage of martial artists inside Beijing University."

There was Ye Zixu with his exceptional background, and then...

"Quite a few... I haven’t figured out where exactly Mo Ke comes from, but judging from all aspects of her, having sophistication without lacking broad knowledge, and it seems like the top echelons of Beijing University have all been instructed to be wary of her, her family background must be extraordinary," Sui Yi nodded, acknowledging that to recognize Ao Yin from a mere voice over the phone and to have foresight like Ye Zixu who had deep connections, were quite dissimilar traits.

Hopefully, she’s a friend rather than a foe.
