My Super Beautiful Lady Boss-Chapter 669 - 658 I’m Just a Contractor

Su Xuan drove Tang Sisi to the Datang Restaurant, but before they arrived, Tang Sisi asked Su Xuan to stop. Su Xuan felt that Tang Sisi was hiding something, so he got out of the car and secretly followed her. To his surprise, the entrance to the restaurant was blocked!

There were beggars and a group of people demanding money, holding banners: "Food poisoning, life for a life."

Now Su Xuan finally understood that Tang Sisi didn’t want him to get involved in these matters. Tang Sisi believed that as a strong woman, she could handle them herself.

Su Xuan hid among the onlookers and casually asked a passerby what was going on.

"What else could it be? A customer suffered food poisoning, and the restaurant won’t pay compensation. That’s all there is to it, but it’s been several days now; it’s really affecting business."

Su Xuan nodded as he listened; it had already been several days. Blocking the place like this was indeed affecting business, costing a lot of money each day.

As Su Xuan thought about this, suddenly Tang Sisi came out of the restaurant and said to those demanding compensation, "Please stop creating a scene here, or else I won’t be polite."

After all, Tang Sisi was a delicate woman, and she was also attractive. Even when angry, she looked charming.

There were still many beggars at the entrance. Su Xuan noticed that the two groups might be connected.

"Compensation, compensation, compensation!"

The crowd shouted in unison, drawing the attention of passersby. What’s most important to a restaurant is its reputation! This was deadly for Datang Restaurant.

"Bring out your person in charge quickly, or today we’ll overturn your unscrupulous restaurant!"

"Don’t rush; we’ve already reported this to the police. The authorities will give us a satisfactory response. There’s no use in hurrying."

Tang Sisi said to those indignantly demanding action.

"Hmph, we came from our hometown, we don’t even have a place to stay, eating steamed buns and drinking water every day, and you don’t care?"

A sturdy man yelled, and as he spoke, he reached out to grab Tang Sisi. Tang Sisi couldn’t withstand the man’s pulling and fell to the ground.

Seeing Tang Sisi sitting on the ground, others hurriedly came forward to help her up. They appeared to be kind but actually wanted to take advantage. The troublemaking man seemed unsatisfied and kicked towards Tang Sisi.

Bang!

Su Xuan kicked the man quite far away.

"What, looking for trouble? I am a national-level Martial Arts coach, if you have an issue, come at me!"

Su Xuan rushed over and helped Tang Sisi up.

The others wisely stepped aside. Tang Sisi was really furious. It was impossible to reason with people as if they were rogues.

Tang Sisi looked at Su Xuan in surprise, not knowing how he had followed her, but she still felt grateful.

With Su Xuan’s arrival, the roguelike crowd immediately quieted down, not daring to cause too much trouble, especially upon hearing that Su Xuan had the title of a national-level Martial Arts coach, someone not to be provoked lightly.

Su Xuan led Tang Sisi into the restaurant, and after some inquiry, he learned that the incident had been happening for four or five days. Initially, Tang Sisi was puzzled, but then the frequency of the incidents kept increasing.

"Is it really your fault?"

Su Xuan asked tentatively.

"What do you mean, you don’t trust me?"

Tang Sisi retorted, her beautiful eyes bloodshot, showing that she hadn’t slept well those days, so frustrated that she hadn’t even worn her fake eye contacts.

"What do you think about this situation?" Su Xuan didn’t know much about the operations of the Datang Restaurant, so he asked Tang Sisi.

Tang Sisi, being a local of Qiutian City, naturally understood the situation in the area well. She said, "It must be the nearby Supreme Treasure Restaurant’s doing. They’re jealous of Datang Restaurant’s good business. Their restaurant’s business is bad, so they resort to sabotaging Datang Restaurant."

"I see."

Su Xuan nodded, realizing it was a case of business rivalry. Such behavior was disgraceful. Datang Restaurant couldn’t operate normally and was losing money every day. Several employees couldn’t be dismissed, but wages still had to be paid, so reopening as soon as possible was essential to stop the losses.

"Alright, leave this to me. I’ll handle it beautifully," Su Xuan assured Tang Sisi.

"You? Don’t joke around. You might be able to fight, but this is a society governed by laws. Let the law decide what to do with any issues. Don’t bother,"

Tang Sisi trusted Su Xuan not one bit, but Su Xuan didn’t take it to heart. Tang Sisi wanted to rely on the law? The other party would exploit legal loopholes and crush you, hindering your business.

Now that he knew it was Supreme Treasure Restaurant’s doing, the rest was easy for Su Xuan. When he had first arrived in Qiutian City, he had mixed with Liu Feilong, so dealing with these small-time hooligans was a piece of cake.

Though Tang Sisi thought Su Xuan was merely joking, by two o’clock in the afternoon, Su Xuan really went to Supreme Treasure Restaurant. Normally at this time, chefs would have finished their shifts, but there were still some on duty.

"Bring me a plate of hot and sour bean slices."

Su Xuan ordered this very common dish after arriving.

Meanwhile, Su Xuan didn’t idle but called over some people who had accompanied Liu Feilong, some six or so people gathered around the table, arguing that one plate wasn’t enough, especially since Su Xuan wasn’t there to eat.

"Take the menu and order whatever you like."

Su Xuan saw many had come, and he didn’t want to be stingy, especially since he needed these people’s help later.

After being treated to a good meal and drink, a few asked Su Xuan in a low voice, "Can we start now?"

Su Xuan silently nodded.

Suddenly, with several thumps, a few people at Su Xuan’s table immediately lay on the ground, convulsing, even accidentally knocking over the dishes on the table—a way to destroy the evidence.

"Hey, someone come quick, food poisoning!"

The people were hired by Su Xuan, each paid five thousand yuan. Moreover, Su Xuan cleverly made them eat something that easily causes food poisoning, like undercooked beans, but they consumed only a small amount to avoid death.

Now, those who were planning to dine at Supreme Treasure Restaurant were scared away, and the few people Su Xuan brought could only be taken to the hospital.

Su Xuan falsely claimed that these people were all local construction workers and that he was the head contractor.

The owner of Supreme Treasure Restaurant knew something like this had happened in the restaurant and was very troubled, aware that this was not a natural disaster, but man-made.

Moreover, the method used was identical to the one he had used against Datang Restaurant, and the owner of Supreme Treasure quickly suspected that this was the work of Datang Restaurant.

"Are you their boss?"

The shrewd owner of Supreme Treasure asked Su Xuan.

Sitting at the dining table and still picking his teeth, Su Xuan replied, "Please don’t call me boss. They are all local construction workers. I am just their contractor, and I need to be responsible for them."

"Oh, is that so? Why don’t we step into my office to discuss this in detail?"

The owner of Supreme Treasure saw that there were too many people in the lobby and that it was inconvenient to talk.

Su Xuan had come here to discuss business, of course, and was happy to follow the other party to the office.

As soon as he entered the office, Su Xuan plopped down in the boss’s chair, and the other party directly asked, "You are from Datang Restaurant, right?" freewebnøvel.coɱ

Su Xuan answered discontentedly, "What kind of talk is that? We are local construction workers. When have we ever worked at Datang Restaurant?"

While saying this, Su Xuan genuinely pulled out a trowel and other building tools from the bag he had brought.

"Regardless of whether you are or aren’t, how do you want to resolve this matter?"

The opposing boss spoke very bluntly.

"Pay up."

Su Xuan uttered calmly.

"How much?"

"That depends on how much our hospitalized brothers have spent. Moreover, if you’re not satisfied, starting tomorrow morning, I’ll have the families of our construction workers come to your restaurant to continue demanding compensation."

"Hey, hey, brother, let’s speak nicely. There’s nothing that can’t be solved."

The owner of Supreme realized Su Xuan was there for Datang Restaurant. Datang was very popular in the area, having already impacted the business at Supreme Treasure, with Datang’s turnover three to four times higher than that of Supreme Treasure—a significant difference.

He really didn’t want to give up the chance to bring down Datang Restaurant, but now the same method was being used against him, and the experience was quite unpleasant.

The owner of Supreme had already made a call earlier; if the troublemakers didn’t soften, they would have to face a tougher approach.

"How much money do you want exactly?"

The owner of Supreme was still being courteous, speaking quite amicably for the time being.

"Fifty million yuan,"

explained Su Xuan after roughly estimating the losses suffered by Datang over the days.

"Brother, are you joking? Fifty million? Five thousand would already be quite generous."

Su Xuan did not argue but slowly said, "I’ve said what I had to say. The rest is up to you to handle."

Su Xuan stood up, ready to leave, when suddenly a two-meter-tall man burst in.

He glared at Su Xuan furiously.

"What, is there a problem?"

Su Xuan turned around to look at the owner of Supreme, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"I know you were sent by Datang Restaurant, but today, can you leave here alive?"

The owner of Supreme had been speaking amiably just a moment before, but now he became sinister and cunning.

"I am just a construction worker, a contractor; please, don’t make it difficult for me."

Su Xuan showed weakness, not wanting to be too harsh on these ordinary people who knew nothing about cultivation.

"Boss, can we start now?"

asked the near two-meter-tall man, his voice sounding like a wheezing bellows.

"I’ll ask you one last time, can you disappear from Supreme Treasure from now on?"

"No way."

Su Xuan suddenly burst out in English, seeing the other party a bit stupefied, he added, "It’s impossible."

As soon as Su Xuan finished speaking, the burly man charged at him. Su Xuan took out the small trowel and slapped it down hard.

Smack!

The burly man actually wavered and fell heavily to the ground, passing out.

Su Xuan quietly said, "I told you, I’m just a contractor."

Watching the two-meter-tall burly man knocked to the ground by a light slap of a small trowel, the owner of Supreme was stunned. Was this magic? He rubbed his eyes vigorously, finding it hard to believe all this was real, yet the man did not respond even after being called several times.
