Chapter 938: Chapter 875: A Trivial Matter
"Sir, I apologize sincerely for this matter, but our chef has already confirmed that there are absolutely no foreign objects in the dish, and there are no cockroaches in our restaurant either," Han Yunzhong, standing beside the young man, explained with a somewhat troubled expression.
Last time his company nearly fell apart because of a minor issue like this, so Han Yunzhong absolutely didn’t want such an incident to occur again.
"Could it be that the cockroach fell from the sky? And as the owner of Tianhe Restaurant, you should understand that this cockroach is tender all over, clearly due to baking at high temperatures," the young man pointed at the cockroach on the table, his face cold.
"Sir, there must be a misunderstanding..." Han Yunzhong’s face became even more troubled upon hearing the other party’s inquiry.
At this moment, even Han Yunzhong didn’t know how to resolve this situation; as a self-made man, he understood that even if this incident was intentional by the guest, he couldn’t publicly say it, as without evidence, saying such things would only further ruin Tianhe Restaurant’s reputation.
"Misunderstanding? Then tell me, what kind of misunderstanding? Or are you suggesting that I purposely came to damage your restaurant’s reputation?" The young man asked, looking at Han Yunzhong with disdain.
"I... I don’t mean that. Our chef has also stated that there’s definitely no cockroach in the dish, so..." Han Yunzhong wanted to explain, but no matter what he said, it all seemed feeble.
Just as Han Yunzhong was at a loss, a calm voice slowly rang out in the room: "Since our restaurant’s chef said it wasn’t them, then this matter certainly isn’t their doing."
"What a joke..." The young man hadn’t finished his last word when he followed the voice, only to see Liu Hun slowly walking towards them.
At this moment, the young man’s brow furrowed slightly, and a flicker of anxiety appeared in his eyes, seemingly somewhat wary of Liu Hun.
After all, Liu Hun’s identity was well known, and with the number of prominent figures personally coming to congratulate him yesterday, it was naturally not someone a minor cultivator could offend.
In this world, no matter how strong one’s power, it was impossible to confront national machinery, and Liu Hun had substantial backing, with clearly immense influence, so he dared not easily offend Liu Hun.
"Is it really a joke?" Liu Hun came up to the young man, looking at him with a gentle smile.
"No matter what, since I came to your restaurant and found a cockroach, you must give us an explanation!" The young man gritted his teeth and then spoke to Liu Hun in a deep voice.
"Are you threatening me?" Liu Hun put away his smile, looking at the young man with a somewhat grim expression, asking in a cold voice.
"As a common civilian, I naturally wouldn’t dare threaten the famous Chairman Liu, but since I’m the customer, Chairman Liu ought to provide us with an explanation, shouldn’t he? Surely Chairman Liu wouldn’t be one to use his status to oppress others?" The young man felt a slight tremor in his heart under Liu Hun’s fierce gaze.
At this moment, he realized fully that Liu Hun was indeed the same type of person as him, but Liu Hun’s power was far beyond his own.
Liu Hun ignored the young man, glanced at the cockroach on the table, and then directly stated: "The condition of the cockroach indeed looks as if it was from a pot, but if we examine this dish, I believe internally, it won’t contain any ingredients from our restaurant, because those herbs are specially prepared by me, and besides our restaurant’s manager, no one knows." Liu Hun paused briefly here.
Seeing the young man’s complexion slightly change, he softly said to Han Yunzhong beside him: "Uncle Han, could you please make a call to have the police bring some doctors and instruments for examination? After all, matters that harm our company’s innocence must be taken seriously."
In response to Liu Hun’s words, the young man suddenly slapped the table, coincidentally smashing the cockroach, glaring at Liu Hun: "Chairman Liu, what do you mean? Are you suggesting we framed Tianhe Restaurant intentionally?"
"Whether it is or isn’t, you know best in your hearts, and why did you just slap the cockroach to pieces?" Liu Hun asked with a smile.
"I just accidentally hit it, but that doesn’t prove we did it!" The young man gritted his teeth.
Since this act was already done, he had to be thorough, ensuring Liu Hun couldn’t seize any handle.
Even if this framing wasn’t very successful, as long as Liu Hun couldn’t find evidence, this matter would still become the biggest news in the entire Huaihai Province.
This way, their purpose would still be achieved.
Seeing the young man’s demeanor, Liu Hun’s face suddenly broke into a brilliant smile.
"Why... why are you laughing?" Looking at Liu Hun’s expression, the young man squinted slightly, secretly raising his guard, and stared at Liu Hun, asking.
After all, Liu Hun’s strength was much greater; if Liu Hun was indeed displeased and slapped him to death, then he’d truly be unlucky.
Right after the young man finished speaking, Liu Hun suddenly leaned close to his ear and whispered: "No matter who you were sent by, you must die. This is the consequence of offending me, Liu Hun, and those behind you will also suffer."
After speaking, Liu Hun straightened his body, then patted the young man’s shoulder with a smile on his face.
Faced with Liu Hun’s smiling face, a chill suddenly rose in the young man’s heart, full of regret. Regardless of whether Liu Hun was telling the truth, he now deeply regretted offending such a person.
However, before the young man could speak, his expression slightly changed and his gaze became somewhat dazed. He directly said to everyone: "Director Liu, I have nothing to do with this matter. It was Tan Fei who instructed me to do so; as for the cockroaches, we prepared them in advance and put them in the dishes when it was time to eat."
The moment he said this, the entire room was shocked. No one expected that this guy would voluntarily reveal the details of the incident.
Recalling the whispers Liu Hun had just said to him, everyone was curious about what Liu Hun had told him that made him voluntarily reveal the truth.
"Who is Tan Fei?" Liu Hun asked in a deep voice after hearing this.
But just as his words fell, the young man showed a look of struggle, but soon recovered.
Immediately afterward, he looked at Liu Hun in astonishment, seemingly incredulous about what had just occurred.
"It seems I should cultivate more Golden Gu in the future. I didn’t expect that he’d recover so quickly after being infested." Liu Hun couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, watching the scene.
Golden Gu is certainly powerful to ordinary people and can have miraculous effects even on some cultivators. But to Liu Hun now, the power of the Golden Gu seems somewhat weak.
"What... what did you do to me?" The young man asked Liu Hun with a face full of shock.
"What I did to you isn’t important; what matters is that you just explained the sequence of events yourself. Uncle Han, notify the police to deal with this matter, and also increase security to avoid similar situations. Uncle Han should understand the saying, ’The tree grew big and attracted wind,’" Liu Hun said, although his voice was not very loud.
But many people dining there heard him clearly.
At this moment, everyone’s impression of Liu Hun improved. Being able to make a person voluntarily tell the truth, such means are certainly overbearing.
But thinking that Liu Hun is a Divine Doctor, everyone was relieved. Since he is a Divine Doctor, he surely has some skills. Otherwise, Liu Hun wouldn’t be referred to as a Divine Doctor.
"Alright, everyone, please continue eating. I apologize for the disturbance. You can rest assured about the hygiene of dishes in any Tianhe Restaurant from now on." Liu Hun sincerely told everyone.
Faced with Liu Hun’s humble demeanor, a round of applause erupted in the room.
"Director Liu, I also came to your restaurant for a meal yesterday. After a night, although my cold was severe, it suddenly got better this morning, which is why I shamelessly came again today. But for this, I want to express my gratitude to Director Liu." After Liu Hun finished speaking, a middle-aged person slowly stood up and said to Liu Hun with excitement.
He had previously spent thousands of yuan at the hospital for this cold but there was no effect. After having a meal yesterday, his cold inexplicably improved this morning. Thinking it over a bit, he realized it must be attributed to the medicinal dishes at Tianhe Restaurant.
"Director Liu, I also came for a meal yesterday, so I came again today. I used to have stomach issues and could only eat bland foods, but after eating these medicinal dishes yesterday, my stomach felt much better. I’m grateful to Director Liu for this. But please don’t kick me out; I promise to let others have a chance tomorrow and come again the day after tomorrow." Another person stood up and thanked Liu Hun.
As these two spoke, several others also stood up to express their gratitude to Liu Hun.
If just one person might be pretending, so many people can’t be. Seeing this, the journalist who had come in with Liu Hun quickly recorded the scene with his phone.
Yesterday, those journalists had all had a meal and, seeing Liu Hun didn’t appear this morning, they just returned.
The queue was long, and it was uncertain when their turn would come.
Health is important, but work outweighs it for those journalists, so they hastily returned to busy themselves with yesterday’s news, hoping to exploit it while they could.
But today’s journalist was an exception; he happened upon this scene. Moreover, he didn’t expect that this small video would lead him to rise in the journalist circle.
"Thank you all for your support. These dishes are a result of my meticulous research. If you eat them three or four times, many minor ailments will gradually improve, and your health will continue to get better without needing long-term meals." Liu Hun said with a smile to the crowd.
Faced with Liu Hun’s words, everyone couldn’t help but be moved. Being able to research such dishes, if people came to eat regularly, Tianhe Restaurant could surely earn more money.
But Liu Hun told them that these medicinal dishes only needed to be eaten a few times, with no intention for long-term consumption. For everyone, having someone consider their well-being at such a moment, of course, filled them with gratitude.
