Overbearing Immortal Doctor
Chapter 126 - 126 126 Profound Background

126: Chapter 126: Profound Background 126: Chapter 126: Profound Background Brother Dao’s humble and obsequious demeanor left everyone wide-eyed.

Just what kind of background did Wu Xiaoyu and Zhou Dong have that even Brother Dao was so respectful?

Doesn’t this mean even Wang Erma would have to show them some deference?

The restaurant diners, seeing that Brother Dao wasn’t here to cause trouble, were surprised and shocked but resumed enjoying their meals with peace of mind.

Chen Zhaofeng, standing in the middle of the hall, felt at a loss.

If he went forward, there was nothing left to say, yet if he returned to his table, he would surely be ridiculed by his peers.

Brother Dao, standing at the entrance, instructed his men to place two flower baskets in prominent positions inside the restaurant.

Then, after exchanging some pleasantries with Wu Xiaoyu and Zhou Dong, he left with his men.

Seeing Chen Zhaofeng leave his seat and stand in the middle of the restaurant, Wu Xiaoyu quickly walked over and said with a smile, “Boss Chen, are you about to leave?

Is there anything we’ve done to be less than hospitable?”

Chen Zhaofeng was curious about their backgrounds.

He didn’t understand the relationship between these two and Wang Erma, wanting to get to the bottom of it.

Naturally, he wasn’t going to leave just yet.

Chen Zhaofeng coughed dryly and casually replied, “There’s still a table full of good food here.

How could I bear to leave?

It’s just that I’m getting old, and sitting too long makes my legs numb.

I got up to stretch my legs… stretch my legs!”

The two didn’t believe his excuse and exchanged a smile before guiding Chen Zhaofeng back to his seat.

Sitting alone at a table, Bai Yun, who had seen the thugs earlier showing fear towards Wu Xiaoyu, became more curious.

Could it be that Wu Xiaoyu was actually the leader of a gang?

Wu Xiaoyu naturally didn’t know about these bizarre thoughts.

As he passed her table, he even gave her a smile, which sent Bai Yun back into her wild imaginings.

Wu Xiaoyu wouldn’t have any ill intentions towards her, would he?

If he dared to misbehave, she’d make sure he became a eunuch of the new age!

Wu Xiaoyu and Zhou Dong guided Chen Zhaofeng back to his seat.

As soon as the three sat down, someone tried to get close and asked, “Brother Wu, what’s your relationship with Brother Dao?”

Everyone stopped what they were doing to listen closely to his question.

Wu Xiaoyu, taking a bite of food, chewed and casually replied, “You mean that guy earlier?

I just beat him up once, that’s all!”

He didn’t want to leverage Wang Erma’s influence to solve problems.

He didn’t want to owe that guy anything because the hardest debt to repay in this world is a debt of gratitude.

Besides, Wang Erma was a heartless and oppressive person.

Associating with such a person would tarnish his own reputation.

If he became wealthy in the future, someone might maliciously smear his name by saying he colluded with evil forces and gained wealth through unscrupulous means.

That would be self-defeating!

Yet, hearing him speak so casually about beating up Brother Dao left everyone even more shocked.

In Longhe Town, aside from Wang Shanbei, no one dared to confront Wang Erma.

Wu Xiaoyu, at such a young age, dared to beat up Wang Erma’s henchman Brother Dao?

What kind of backing did he have?

Chen Zhaofeng knew Wu Xiaoyu was from Daxin Village, a countryside bumpkin.

How did he make Wang Erma’s men submit?

Seeing Wu Xiaoyu unwilling to elaborate, the others were persistent, continuing to ask, “Brother Wang’s family does what?”

“Farming!

Why?” Wu Xiaoyu replied innocently and puzzled.

Chen Zhaofeng saw that Wu Xiaoyu wasn’t going to divulge any information today.

Smiling, he continued eating nonchalantly, though he grew increasingly anxious within.

Jiji’s dishes were better than those at Juxian Inn, yet their prices were similar.

Now, even the local thugs showed respect and wouldn’t come here to make trouble.

In this case, Juxian Inn would have to face direct competition!

His only advantage was having rooted in Longhe Town for years with a group of loyal diners.

But who could say these people wouldn’t be drawn to Jiji’s food?

Discounts, monthly cards, yearly cards—a series of tactics to retain diners flashed through his mind.

After a satisfying meal and plenty of polite chatting, they finally saw the group of peers off.

Wu Xiaoyu and Zhou Dong then sat down at Bai Yun’s table.

Zhou Dong confidently said:

“Miss Bai, you see, on our opening day we had so many diners.

Business surely won’t be bad, so there’s no need to worry about us not being able to pay the rent!”

Wu Xiaoyu, hearing this, curiously asked Zhou Dong, “Wait, haven’t we paid the rent yet?”

Bai Yun glared at him and said, “What, do you think I’m an idiot?

You paid rent for three months, but I wanted to check on you in case your business collapsed and you couldn’t pay rent, that’s all!”

Hearing her say such unlucky words on the opening day, Wu Xiaoyu quickly cursed, “Bullshit!

Even if your family’s business failed, my restaurant would still flourish!”

Before Bai Yun could respond, Zhou Dong reprimanded Wu Xiaoyu obsequiously, “How can you speak to Miss Bai like that?

Really rude…”

Zhou Dong made a fierce face, threatening Wu Xiaoyu, then turned to Bai Yun and said, “Miss Bai, seeing as I stood up for you, could we get a discount on the rent?”

Wu Xiaoyu looked at Zhou Dong, his contempt hidden, thinking, “Damn it!

No wonder you’re a businessman’s descendant; you’re shameless enough.

I respect that!”

Bai Yun ignored them, raising her glass and downing it in one go.

Only then did they notice the bottle on her table.

“Drinking in the middle of the day?” Wu Xiaoyu commented.

Bai Yun scowled at him and said, somewhat menacingly, “None of your business…”

Seeing the bottle of white wine half gone and the seven or eight dishes already reduced to scraps, Wu Xiaoyu and Zhou Dong led her upstairs to rest.

Someone had to stay downstairs to entertain guests on the opening day.

Zhou Dong escorted them upstairs, gave Wu Xiaoyu a meaningful wink, and hurried back downstairs.

Left in the room with the slightly drunk Bai Yun, Wu Xiaoyu sat at one end of the sofa while he grabbed an apple, ready to eat.

Bai Yun suddenly came over, snuggling close as she asked, “Wu Xiaoyu, could you sell me some of the chickens you raise?”

Sell his chickens?

Wu Xiaoyu was puzzled and asked bluntly, “Why would a lady like you want to buy some free-range chickens?

If you want to eat them, you can just come to Longhe Town!”

“And in a year, Jiji will open a branch in the county, so you can taste our dishes there too… our food!”

Bai Yun looked at him incredulously and said, “Your ambition isn’t small!

Opening a branch in the county in a year?

Given that, you better sell me the chickens.

I’ll pay high prices so you can gather funds quicker, right?”
