Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Looking for the Manager_1

Mr. Zhang really did have some noteworthy acting skills, especially when he saw that man was seriously about to call the manager. He quickly changed his expression and hurried over, attempting to leave. This action, however, upset the girl sitting nearby, who stood up and said loudly, "I thought that woman was lying, but seeing you like this, I’ve realized it might not be fake at all.

But you, acting like this, beside you, there’s a woman who looks 100 times better than you. How do you have the face to approach her? If it were me, I’d be so ashamed that I’d hide at home and not dare to show my face. If you ask me, you should stop working as a waitress in this restaurant right now.

With the way you act, I think it would suit you to work as a hostess in a dance hall. Hurry up and go, and stop clinging to my boyfriend, okay? Just standing here makes me feel sick. If you don’t want us to complain to the manager, then hurry up and leave. Don’t make a scene here; it’s really annoying."

The woman didn’t leave Mr. Zhang any dignity, saying whatever she wanted, with the main intention of letting the other party know that they were not to be messed with. Everyone who could afford to dine here was of rich standing, and a few words to the manager would surely get Mr. Zhang in trouble.

Or maybe he would have to pay a price. But naturally, Mr. Zhang wouldn’t dare bet on such an outcome and could only sheepishly reel in his haughtiness. He’d had a really good life here, managing to meet some wealthy people, and he wouldn’t give up this job for anything. Now, he just had to keep his tail between his legs.

Even having a relative who was a supervisor here wasn’t enough justification to be so reckless. If the manager really were to come down, most likely the job would be lost. Even if the supervisor wanted him to continue working here, it seemed implausible. He had to be more careful, so he swallowed his pride and apologized.

"I’m sorry, it was my fault for disturbing your meal. Please go ahead and enjoy your meal, I’ll clean up this mess. I truly apologize,"

After saying this, Mr. Zhang quickly softened and apologized, hoping they wouldn’t take the issue any further. As long as the incident remained under wraps, the manager wouldn’t reprimand him. The man, adhering to the principle of ’less trouble is better’, decided not to argue with his girlfriend over the waitress and resumed eating.

Watching them continue with their drama, Kang Yue found it hilarious. Didn’t want to call me as the manager? Anyway, he couldn’t stand watching any longer; his entire evening had been spoiled by the waitress’s unpleasantness.

He had to get such people out to not waste the expensive and delicious ingredients. So he said with a laugh and in a loud voice, "If you don’t want to call for me, why not just say so? Where is the manager?"

Mr. Zhang didn’t exactly have a great reputation among the staff at the restaurant. Seeing him bullied by customers, the other waiters gleefully went to fetch the manager to handle the situation, who, oblivious to the actual events, hurried over upon hearing that one of his staff had caused trouble.

Rushing in, hoping not to offend any important patrons, the manager arrived only to see Mr. Zhang standing to one side and a crowd watching the scene, which infuriated him even more. Relying on having relatives there, Mr. Zhang had been causing trouble, which was utterly exasperating.

Without knowing the full story, the manager scolded Mr. Zhang. "What kind of trouble are you causing every day here? You have no idea how many complaints I’ve received about you this month. How can you still be acting like this? Do you really think I wouldn’t dare fire you? I’ve already told you, if you cause any more trouble, I will really fire you."

"I’m not joking," continued the manager. "Or do you think I, as the manager, don’t have the authority to fire you? Speak up! What have you done this time? Who have you upset?"

The manager was very angry, his peaceful rest in the room interrupted far too often by having to deal with this waitress. Each time he was called out, it involved humbling himself, apologizing, and groveling—it was becoming unbearable. If this continued, he worried he might literally die from frustration.

The woman had no idea when to quit. Seeing others getting impatient, she should have stopped, but she didn’t. The manager knew Mr. Zhang was here for vanity, hoping to snag a wealthy husband to avoid a life of hardship. But such rich catches aren’t easily found, and carelessness could lead straight into a trap—just like now, unnecessarily offending several wealthy families.

This was hardly ideal; it was bringing disgrace to the restaurant. After all the hard work to build up the restaurant’s reputation, it would be better to get rid of one person than have the restaurant shunned by everyone.

Seeing the manager approach, Mr. Zhang put on an aggrieved face. This incident clearly wasn’t supposed to unfold this way, but it had been twisted out of context. Feeling very saddened, as if everyone was picking on him, the manager, after a good scolding, still sought to resolve the issue.

After all, it wouldn’t do to just berate his own staff. So, he put on a smile and turned around to ask cheerfully, "Who called for me just now? I’m here to solve any problems. Our waiters sometimes make mistakes, so please inform me immediately. Sometimes it’s my fault for not supervising them well."

As the saying goes, ’You can’t slap a smiling face.’ The shrewd manager used this tactic, figuring that those people couldn’t refuse his offer to resolve any issues. Thanks to such smart handling, the restaurant had thrived. The manager had a broad vision for the business.

Kang Yue, impressed with the manager’s big-picture approach, nodded slightly and said, "It was me who called for you. This waitress has been very dishonest here. I think if your company wants this restaurant to have a long-term development, you should seriously consider this staff issue."
