Chapter 522: Chapter 522: There Must Be Some Kind of Misunderstanding

"Actually, normally speaking, this is not a big deal. It’s just spotting a mouse, right? Comp a meal and soothe the guests, and that’s it. At most, it ends up on the local news, it won’t blow up too much," Ye Ning said irritably.

"But the problem is that all the guests today refused to let it go. Before we could react, they had already spread the news everywhere, determined to make it a big issue."

"That’s why I suspect someone is instigating them, at least a few people deliberately joined them to steer the situation. Otherwise, why would it be so troublesome?" Ye Ning said angrily.

"Because of this situation, I definitely can’t leave. I have to stay here to manage the aftermath. If I leave it to someone else, I won’t be at ease. Besides, the restaurant manager’s abilities are really limited."

After all, it’s a small place; you can’t recruit highly capable people.

People with great abilities won’t stay in a small location.

They would have gone to big cities for better opportunities.

"Today’s mess was because he didn’t handle it timely. So for the aftermath, I can’t leave it to him either," Ye Ning said.

"And also, how did those mouse droppings appear? We need to investigate. I’m aware of the restaurant’s hygiene standards. I often inspect the restaurant myself, so I know the kitchen isn’t exceptionally clean, but there definitely aren’t any mice."

"Moreover, if we’re actually sued and have to go through legal procedures, I need to be here to go to court," Ye Ning said.

"Then if you’re not going, how are we supposed to go?" Ye Dezhang said worriedly, "We’ve spent our whole lives in Ye City, never been anywhere else. Suddenly going to such a big city like B City, won’t we be lost?"

"Without anyone guiding us, where do we find Ye Fei?" Ye Dezhang frowned and said.

Xu Huizhen thought about it and agreed.

To find Ye Fei, they need to know the place, right?

They were unfamiliar with B City—a much larger place—and just thinking about it made them anxious.

"Precisely because the restaurant is in trouble, you need to go to B City even more," Ye Ning said. "A famous lawyer from a well-known law firm in B City is acting as their attorney and is suing us. With Ye City’s limited resources, no lawyer here can match Lawyer Xu."

"You should go to B City and visit those big law firms to find a formidable lawyer to represent us. Otherwise, will we really have to pay those troublemakers fifty million?" Ye Ning said angrily.

At the mention of fifty million, Xu Huizhen immediately felt a surge of courage.

Suddenly, she wasn’t afraid of being unfamiliar with the big city.

"Right! You’re absolutely right!" Xu Huizhen said promptly, "We can’t give those people money. This is clearly extortion!"

"I’ll refund my plane ticket first. You two continue with your plan to go to B City tomorrow. Besides, you don’t have to worry—you’re not entirely unfamiliar in B City," Ye Ning smiled. "Isn’t Ye Fei there?"

"Your youngest daughter is in B City, so how is it unfamiliar? When you arrive, find her and settle down at her place. She’ll take care of everything. Whatever you need or wherever you want to go, just tell her. You don’t have to wander aimlessly in such a big city, worrying about getting lost."

"You’re right," Xu Huizhen was reminded by Ye Ning and suddenly felt it made sense.

"But when we arrive tomorrow, we won’t know where Ye Fei lives. We won’t be able to find her," Ye Dezhang asked worriedly.

"I’ll book a hotel for you in advance. Once you arrive at the airport, follow the signs to the taxi queue. If you’re really lost, just ask someone. Tell the driver the address and they’ll take you there," Ye Ning instructed.

"Even if you don’t know where Ye Fei lives initially, Shi Jiumei knows, right? Plus, isn’t Ye Fei participating in a culinary competition? Even if you don’t know her address, buy a ticket to the event, and you can find her there," Ye Ning said.

It’s all fairly simple.

"Right, right, Ning Ning, you’re smart," Xu Huizhen grinned broadly.

Ye Dezhang took one last puff, extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray, and sighed with the smoke.

"How about... we wait until the restaurant issue is mostly resolved, and we go together?" Ye Dezhang said. "If you’re not there, I won’t feel secure."

"What makes you feel insecure?" Upon thinking of fifty million, Xu Huizhen wished to go right away, "Ning Ning has spelled everything out clearly. We’re not handicapped or mute, we can’t possibly get lost in B City, right?"

"Exactly. Dad, isn’t Shi Jiumei there too? If there’s anything you don’t understand, ask her. I’ll contact her tomorrow regarding finding Ye Fei; she can help with that too," Ye Ning said.

"Shi Jiumei’s got no relation to us, how can we keep bothering her?" Ye Dezhang said awkwardly.

"What do you mean bothering her? Are we the kind of people who trouble others with trivial matters?" Xu Huizhen shouted.

"Well..."

"Stop with the hesitations," Xu Huizhen said impatiently. "Shi Jiumei even came all the way to the south just to inform us about Ye Fei. She didn’t find it troublesome at all. When we go to B City, asking her occasional questions, what’s the big deal?"

"Dad, Mom is right," Ye Ning chimed in. "Besides, Shi Jiumei traveled all the way to inform us about Ye Fei’s situation, indicating she’s a kind-hearted person."

Ye Dezhang nodded: "Though she claims to have a grudge against Ye Fei and is in opposition, I’ve found Shi Jiumei to be quite amiable. She even traveled all the way here to inform us of Ye Fei’s whereabouts, showing her kindness. There’s surely some misunderstanding between her and Ye Fei."

Xu Huizhen sneered internally.

She liked this about Ye Dezhang.

Naive, gullible, easy to deceive.

"Yes." Ye Ning sneered inside but outwardly agreed with Ye Dezhang, "Besides, there’s really not much that would require troubling Shi Jiumei. When you get to B City, just take a taxi to the hotel. You’ll settle down without needing to bother her."

"The only thing we might need her help with is buying tickets for the culinary competition and seeing Ye Fei. Buying tickets is easy; I’ll buy them online for you. It’s just that sitting in the audience, it’ll be challenging to visit the contestants backstage."

"Therefore, even if you make it to the event, you may not be able to approach Ye Fei. If you really want to get close to her, you’ll need Shi Jiumei’s help," Ye Ning said.

"Even though Shi Jiumei has been eliminated and she is no longer competing, she’s been in B City for a while and is a food blogger, so her connections are intact."
