Chapter 198 - 198 Revised 198 Pointing at the Mulberry Tree and Cursing the Locust

198: Revised: Chapter 198 Pointing at the Mulberry Tree and Cursing the Locust 198: Revised: Chapter 198 Pointing at the Mulberry Tree and Cursing the Locust Before he could think about it, Zhou Dong shouted on stage: “Everyone heard what was said just now!

We were indeed slandered by our competitors, please do not believe the rumors!

It’s already noon, guests who are here for lunch can go in now!”

The crowd gathered at the entrance of Jiji Chicken, if they had doubts about Zhou Dong’s speech earlier and a bit of suspicion towards Jiji Chicken, after hearing Ma Fangqi’s words, they completely believed Jiji Chicken was slandered.

Knowing they could go in for a meal now, they naturally didn’t hesitate and all rushed in at once.

Wu Xiaoyu and Zhou Dong also led Chen Zhaofeng and others inside, the restaurant was already packed, and many people reluctantly accepted the staff’s suggestion to share tables while complaining.

Many of these people usually couldn’t afford to have a feast at Jiji Chicken, but today’s 40% off deal made them grit their teeth and bring families and friends along.

Looking at the mass of diners, Chen Zhaofeng felt as if his heart was bleeding, knowing these diners in his eyes weren’t people but money!

With Ma Fangqi personally debunking the rumors, the rumor about Jiji Chicken using hormone-pumped chickens quickly dissipated.

The diners in the restaurant all eagerly ordered today’s signature roast chicken, making the chefs in the kitchen both happy and frustrated.

Happy that the newly developed dish was very popular, frustrated that they were short-handed and inevitably made mistakes, and had to endure the relentless urging of the wait staff.

The invited restaurant owners, seeing this scene, mostly felt envy and jealousy, but Chen Zhaofeng besides jealousy felt a sense of loss and sorrow.

Jiji Chicken truly came back to life!

Seeing the delighted and satisfied faces of the diners, it was evident that Jiji Chicken’s dishes were better than before.

Was his Juxian Inn really going to fall like this?

His Juxian Inn, which he worked hard for over a decade to build, was it really going to decline within just a few months?

No!

He absolutely couldn’t give up!

He couldn’t let Juxian Inn go downhill, he needed to fight back, offer discounts, develop new dishes, hire new chefs…

While Chen Zhaofeng was secretly making up his mind, Wu Xiaoyu already led them to the second floor and picked a small private room.

After everyone was seated, Zhou Dong said: “Today, our Jiji Chicken has come back to life.

We hope everyone here can continue to support us, so we can all prosper together!”

Except for Juxian Inn, the restaurants of the other owners present targeted different clientele from Jiji Chicken, so there wasn’t direct competition.

They all laughed and said: “No…

no!

It’s Jiji Chicken that should support us!”

Seeing that these people had already formed a close bond with Wu Xiaoyu and Zhou Dong, Chen Zhaofeng became increasingly angry but couldn’t express his frustration, so he picked up the wine in front of him and drank a bitter cup.

The goat’s beard beside him saw this and quickly said with a smile: “Let’s not just keep talking!

Boss Chen came late, and didn’t he say he would punish himself with three drinks?

Let’s have Boss Chen drink first!”

Everyone heard this and started to jeer, Chen Zhaofeng couldn’t be bothered to argue with them, drank two more glasses, and said angrily: “Is this good enough!”

Wu Xiaoyu saw his pale expression, words filled with jealousy and displeasure, and said provocatively: “Everyone knows the rumor about Jiji Chicken using hormone-pumped chickens was maliciously fabricated.”

“I, as a person, have always tried to be kind to others and won’t pursue this matter further, but I hope the person who spread these malicious rumors understands their limits and doesn’t end up shooting themselves in the foot.”

The crowd, having just coaxed Chen Zhaofeng to drink, were in a lively mood.

Upon hearing Wu Xiaoyu’s sudden comments, everyone paused, their eyes subtly turning towards Chen Zhaofeng.

Chen Zhaofeng knew Wu Xiaoyu was referring to him, and the crowd was staring at him with predatory eyes, feeling overwhelmed with shame and anger, and questioned:

“What does Boss Wu mean by this?

Are you saying I, Chen Zhaofeng, spread those rumors?

If you have evidence, show it, and I will apologize on my knees!” Chen Zhaofeng retorted loudly to Wu Xiaoyu.

He then accused the other owners present, saying: “Why are you all staring at me?

Want to frame me?

I bet the person who spread the rumors is probably among you…”

This statement angered everyone, their faces turned iron blue with rage, making Chen Zhaofeng realize he misspoke, falling for Wu Xiaoyu’s provocation.

Seeing he had offended everyone present, Chen Zhaofeng rose abruptly, enduring his anger, and said: “I’ll take my leave now!”

Saying this, he left the private room without waiting for a response.

Wu Xiaoyu and Zhou Dong didn’t try to stop him, and the rest of the people couldn’t hold him back either.

After Chen Zhaofeng left, the crowd began to criticise and scold him openly, saying he was arrogant and petty.

Uninterested in their criticisms, Wu Xiaoyu interrupted: “We are all in the restaurant business, and should support and help each other.”

“Some people are jealous and set traps, using underhanded tactics, but ultimately, evil cannot prevail over good.

I hope everyone here will help each other in the future!”

Everyone agreed, considering Ma Fangqi personally debunked the rumors, Jiji Chicken likely had strong backing, no one dared to offend them.

Zhou Dong, seeing they had said everything necessary and warned everyone, said with a smile: “Everyone should eat, don’t just talk.

Try the new dishes our chef developed…”

The crowd, seeing Zhou Dong’s intention to change the topic, started tasting and praising Jiji Chicken’s dishes, and the joyful atmosphere returned.

After the banquet, seeing off the others, Zhou Dong asked Wu Xiaoyu: “Why did Ma Fangqi come personally today, did you invite him?”

Wu Xiaoyu shook his head, equally perplexed.

Ma Fangqi had no reason to help him like this.

Fortunately, a crisis was averted.

Wu Xiaoyu didn’t bother thinking about the reasons, figuring if it was luck or misfortune, it couldn’t be avoided.

After chatting for a while, Wu Xiaoyu prepared to leave.

His parents were worried at home, and he needed to comfort them.

Zhou Dong didn’t try to stop him, but fetched two roast chickens from the kitchen for him to take home.

As Wu Xiaoyu reached the door, a girl wearing a hat burst out from the restaurant, her eccentric outfit drawing the attention of passersby.

The girl intended to surprise and attack Wu Xiaoyu, but before she could reach him, Wu Xiaoyu turned and shouted angrily: “Get back!”

“Hmph!

How did you know it was me?

This is no fun!

I won’t go back, I want to follow you!” the girl said in a deliberately cute tone.

Wu Xiaoyu glanced around, then said sternly: “Li Qianqian!

If you don’t behave, I’ll throw you back to Fa Cai Nightclub!”

Li Qianqian, seeing his fierce demeanor, was unfazed and pretended to be bullied, still using a cute tone: “Are you going to abandon me?”

Passersby and customers entering and leaving Jiji Chicken overheard this and stared at Wu Xiaoyu with strange expressions.

Fearing attracting more attention, Wu Xiaoyu compromised: “Fine!

I’ll take you back, but you need to change your clothes, or people will think you’re crazy!”

Li Qianqian, happy with this, didn’t think much and went back inside the store.

As she went in, Wu Xiaoyu quickly got on his motorcycle, laughing and shouting: “Idiot!

I’m leaving first, you stay here!”
