The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

Chapter 376 - The Annoying Roast Duck

Zhou Yong was utterly stunned.

He suspected it was all a setup.

The crowd that had gathered insisted everything was authentic.

As the hotel filled with more people, security guards encircled Zhou Yong, sending him into a frenzy.

Beads of cold sweat streamed down his forehead.

Then, an idea struck him.

?His father had a close friend, a sworn brother, who happened to be the owner of a Trade Company.

This man was extraordinarily wealthy, with assets in the hundreds of billions!

It was he who had introduced Zhou Yong's father to the business world.

With this in mind, Zhou Yong clenched his jaw in determination.

“Wait here, I'm calling someone right now!”

He declared, pulling out his phone.

“Uncle Wang, I'm being picked on.”

Zhou Yong's voice quivered with emotion.

“What's the matter? Calm down, tell me what happened,” came the authoritative response.

?”They're trying to extort me. I accidentally broke a vase at this Sichuan restaurant, and now they're demanding 880,000 for it.”

The voice on the line grew stern.

“Don't worry, there's no need to be scared. I've got your back, and no one will dare to mess with you. Has your dad heard about this?”

“I haven't told him yet.”

“Which restaurant is it?”

“Sichuan Restaurant,” Zhou Yong replied.

The voice remained even-tempered. “I'm nearby, dining at a hotel. Stay put, I'll be there shortly.”

With that, the call ended.

Zhou Yong's confidence surged.

“Just wait, my uncle is on his way.”

He stood with hands on hips, defiant.

Manager Cao, upon hearing this, was visibly irritated.

Su Ming offered a slight smile. “Let's have the food first, boss. I'm famished.”

?The boss nodded in agreement and quickly directed the waitstaff to prepare the meal.

Su Ming approached the waitress Zhou Yong had slapped earlier.

With a kind smile, he said, “I apologize for the trouble you've faced.”

?”It's okay,” she replied, her face tinged with redness and her eyes brimming with tears.

Despite her distress, she shook her head and insisted she was alright.

“I'll give you a week off with a month's pay. Take some time to rest, and when you return, you'll be promoted to lobby manager.”

Boss Shen quickly made his stance known on the matter at hand.

The waitress had departed.

Su Ming and Su Qiu were seated in the room, enjoying their meal.

Boss Shen and Manager Cao bustled about in front of Su Ming and Su Qiu.

Zhou Yong, poor guy, had arrived on an empty stomach.

The tantalizing aroma made him even hungrier, yet he was immobilized.

The five security guards eyed him as if he were a criminal.

It took a full half hour before footsteps could be heard from downstairs.

Zhou Yong turned his head and nearly burst into tears.

His Uncle Wang had finally arrived!

“Uncle Wang, you've come.”

Zhou Yong's voice was tinged with a cry.

The man nodded in acknowledgment.

He couldn't suppress a belch.

The scent wasn't exactly pleasant, but Zhou Yong recognized it immediately.

It was the roast duck from the neighboring restaurant!

He had been dining at a place just a stone's throw away, yet it had taken him half an hour to come over.

But no matter how much Zhou Yong felt aggrieved, he had to keep it to himself.

He dared not voice his complaints.

“Who has been bullying you?”

Uncle Wang entered the private room with his hands clasped behind his back, his demeanor calm and collected.

Zhou Yong followed, his posture exuding arrogance.

“Uncle Wang, it was them who bullied me!”

Zhou Yong accused, pointing at Su Ming and the others.

Uncle Wang gave a nod and rubbed his eyelids.

His gaze settled on the young man seated at the head table, who was now looking back at him.

He became fully alert.

“Mr. Su!”

The man's face broke into a warm and enthusiastic smile.

?He made his way swiftly to Su Ming's side, brushing past Boss Shen and Manager Cao.

“You don't know how to take care of Mr. Su properly. I'll handle it.”

“Chairman Wang, I must remind you, this is my hotel. It's quite inappropriate for you to act this way.”

Boss Shen was clearly displeased.

“Mr. Su is here for a rare visit to our hotel, you shouldn't be behaving like this,” Manager Cao chimed in.

?The man in question was Wang Guohui.

He had indeed been enjoying roast duck at the nearby restaurant.

The duck had just come out of the oven when he received Zhou Yong's call.

Frankly, Wang Guohui had never been fond of Zhou Yong.

But Zhou Yong was his nephew, and he couldn't just ignore the boy's plight.

So, he had Zhou Yong wait for half an hour as a lesson.

He was filled with regret now. Had he known Su Ming was here, he would have hurried over immediately.

“Chairman Wang, I may not have your wealth or your status, but this is my hotel, and my word is law here,” Boss Shen declared.

?Upon hearing this, Wang Guohui retorted, “Are you challenging me?”

“Do you think I'm scared of you?”

“Let's see then.”

“Manager Cao, and the rest of you, come here and lend a hand.”

“Are you trying to gang up on me?”

“We're all eager to serve Mr. Su at the moment. Yes, we're singling you out.”
