Chapter 241 Talking Badly About People Behind Their Backs
Mr. Han Wu has arrived.
When Zhang Tao heard the report from his subordinates, he hurried out of the house and went to the door to greet them.
"Oh, Master Wu, you're here!"
Seeing his flattering smile, Han Wuye nodded expressionlessly, "I heard from You Qi that you have excellent Western steaks here that you can't get anywhere else. So I came over to try it."
For a moment, Zhang Tao couldn't tell whether Mr. Han Wu was trying to hint at him, or whether he really just wanted to try the steak.
You Qi grinned and winked at him, "What are you still standing there for? Please invite Master Wu in!"
Seeing this, Zhang Tao felt relieved.
If someone with ulterior motives were to take what the male wife of the Bai family said yesterday and tell it to Mr. Han Wuye, saying that he looked down on people who couldn't eat steak with a knife and fork, then he would be committing a serious crime.
So he thought of taking the initiative.
So, early in the morning, he brought good wine and cigarettes to You Qi and poured out his grievances to You Qi, asking You Qi to help him speak in front of Han Wuye and put all the blame on the man's wife who used Wuye as a shield.
This preemptive move seems to have worked.
"Fifth Master, please come this way." Zhang Tao led the way with a smile.
After entering the private room, Zhang Tao asked, "Fifth Master, the foie gras and lobster are fresh today."
"No, just steak will do." said Uncle Han Wu.
"Hey, good."
"You know, I don't know how to use a knife and fork. Can I eat this steak without a knife and fork?" Uncle Han Wu said slowly.
Zhang Tao smiled and said, "Yes, of course! Didn't you say that when we spend money to buy food, it's for people to eat. You can eat it however you like."
Han Wuye said, "Well, you know a lot, don't you? Then why did I hear that if you don't know how to use a knife and fork, you can't come to eat here?"
Zhang Tao's face changed slightly, and he looked at You Qi in panic, only to see that You Qi was frowning, and didn't seem to understand what the Fifth Master meant.
Zhang Tao forced a smile and said, "No... that's not true. This must be a rumor!"
"Oh, that's because You Qi didn't understand the situation clearly and just talked nonsense. You Qi, go slap yourself twice." Master Han Wu looked at You Qi and said lightly.
"Hey." You Qi glared at Zhang Tao unexpectedly, then slapped himself twice.
"Fifth Master, it's my fault that I didn't understand clearly, and I was too talkative." You Qi said after slapping him.
Zhang Tao was trembling and sweating profusely at this time.
It seems that not only did his preemptive move fail, but it also played into the man's wife's wishes and touched the Fifth Master's sore spot.
"What are you standing there for? Go get some steak!" Uncle Han glared at Zhang Tao and said.
"Hey hey..." Zhang Tao hurried downstairs.
You Qi stood aside woodenly. For a moment, he couldn't understand what Han Wuye was thinking.
Could it be that Master Wu is on the side of the Bai family's male wife? I've never heard that they know each other?
After a while, Zhang Tao came up with the steak, followed by a waiter with red wine.
Master Han Wu looked at the chopsticks in front of him and said, "You Qi, I told you to slap yourself twice, and it seems you were right. Look, didn't Boss Zhang prepare chopsticks?"
You Qi gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, and agreed with a smile: "Yes, Fifth Master, it's me who didn't understand clearly."
Zhang Tao didn't dare to look You Qi in the eye.
When he was complaining to You Qi this morning, he had specifically mentioned that his Wells was a high-end Western restaurant, and that once you entered his place, you had to follow his rules. How could he allow a country bumpkin who only knew how to use chopsticks to dine there? Wouldn't that lower the quality of his restaurant?
I didn't expect that I would be slapped in the face not long after.
Not only do you have to let people use chopsticks to eat, you also have to smile and offer the chopsticks to them with both hands.
Uncle Han Wu took a bite of the steak and put it down.
"I thought this noble steak was so delicious, but it's just so-so. Or maybe it's just because I'm a country bumpkin and haven't tasted good food! I really can't tell what's so noble about it."
Zhang Tao wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and said with a smile: "No, no, no, this thing is not worthy of you!"
As he was speaking, Zhang Tao's men came to report.
"Boss, the second young lady of the Bai family is here."
For a moment, Zhang Tao didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
He was certain that the Bai family would not be able to deliver the goods today, and he was ready to bring people to their door. He had even hired reporters from the newspaper, determined to make the Bai family lose face.
Although he knew that this amount of money was just a small amount for the Bai family, he did this just to annoy the arrogant male wife.
Who knew that Master Han Wu would suddenly show up and disrupt his plans.
"Why is he here?"
"Boss Zhang, you're such a joke. Didn't you say yesterday that we'd follow the contract and behave properly? My Bai's Firm has always been abiding by the rules."
Nanchun was afraid that Zhang Tao would cause trouble, so she followed the waiter up.
Zhang Tao stood at the door, neither going in nor out. He said to Han Wuye awkwardly, "Wuye, I have something to discuss with Boss Nan. I..."
"Let's talk about it here. Let me listen too. There's been a big fuss between the Wells Western Restaurant and the Bai's Trading Company these past few days. I heard that I was also arrested. Now that I'm considered the protagonist of this matter, I should also listen. Boss Nan, do you mind?" said Uncle Han Wu.
Nanchun hadn't expected Han Wuye to be here. He'd been wrong to use Han Wuye as a shield against Zhang Tao yesterday. He'd figured he wouldn't run into Han Wuye anyway...
Who knew I would run into this?
It's really not good to talk about people behind their backs.
And this person is not someone who can be easily fooled.
Nanchun pretended to be calm, walked to the door, and said with a smile, "Of course I don't mind! I'd be more than happy to have you as a witness, Fifth Master."
Uncle Han Wu looked at Nanchun's smiling face and thought to himself: From this point of view... he is a kind and likable person.
Nanchun was a little surprised. This Han Wuye was not as ferocious as the rumors said. He was wearing a gray gown, had a neat beard, and had a kind face. He looked quite amiable.
"Please move the boxes in." Nanchun said.
As soon as he finished speaking, several people came in carrying some boxes.
Nanchun opened the boxes one by one, and inside were neatly stacked dollars.
Nanchun took out the contract and said, "This box is the deposit you paid to our Bai's Trading Company, Boss Zhang, five hundred dollars. I'm returning it to you. The contract states that if we can't deliver the goods on time, we will pay you double the amount of the purchase price."
The total payment for the goods is 2,800 yuan, and here is 5,600 yuan. Please count it carefully, Boss Zhang! If you say it's not enough after I leave, I won't admit it."
Zhang Tao looked at the dollars in the box, curled his lips in dissatisfaction, and muttered, "How long are we going to count this? It would be better to just give me US dollars."
