CHAPTER 1595: CHAPTER 1595: ADDING FUEL TO THE FIRE

After being surprised for a few seconds, An Hao completely understood. She truly couldn’t help but admire Lin Qiushu’s actions.

Just this morning they had discussed countermeasures, and now in the afternoon, she had already started implementing them.

"How can we even eat this food? Thank goodness we didn’t take a single bite, if we had, it would have been so disgusting." Gu Shuangshuang covered her belly, wishing she could spit disdainfully on the floor twice.

"I really feel bad for you, Shuangshuang. It’s just that our timing was a bit off," An Hao apologized with a smile.

"I guess I won’t eat my lunch, let’s just go straight to dinner," Gu Shuangshuang wailed.

"I’m so sorry, Lin Sheng! I meant to treat you to a nice meal, and now you ended up without lunch," Qin Jian felt somewhat remiss for not getting Lin Sheng fed at lunchtime.

If only he had controlled himself at noon, then it wouldn’t have come to the point where Lin Sheng missed a meal by this time.

But Lin Sheng didn’t mind in the slightest: "It’s alright! Missing one meal is no big deal!"

"How can that be alright? Don’t worry, let’s go back first, we’ll buy some groceries on the way, and I’ll cook for you!" An Hao suggested.

"That would be great!" Tian Niu and Gu Shuangshuang exclaimed in unison, "Now we’re in for a treat again."

As the group was getting up to leave, the manager of the restaurant came over, a man in his forties, and it was not Guan Qing.

It seems these four restaurants all had managers specifically hired by Guan Qing.

She must have put in a lot of effort and thought into these branches.

"I’m really sorry, everyone! It pains me that such an incident occurred at our establishment, but, those who have been to Nanguofeng know that we are very serious about our business, and we always use the freshest vegetables on the market... Our cooking is also very meticulous and hygienic! Just look at the bustling business at Nanguofeng and you’ll understand..." the manager was saying when a female customer stood up, holding a dead rat, and angrily threw it at the manager’s face: "Come on, tell me, is this what you call clean? Is this what you call hygienic?"

Before she finished speaking, Gu Shuangshuang also slammed her hand on the table and stood up, holding a cigarette butt: "I’m a pregnant woman! I came to your restaurant because it was renowned, but what do you offer a pregnant woman in return?"

"Not fresh vegetables? You’re kidding me?" Just then, An Hao also stood up and said, "A few days ago, I saw Nanguofeng’s employees selling vegetables outside. Those vegetables weren’t fresh at all! It seems you guys overbought, and when you couldn’t finish them, you went out to sell them! If you don’t believe me, go have a look near their storage area, by the roadside, all that’s thrown out are spoiled greens."

The moment these women spoke up, it was like pouring oil on a fire, the whole place instantly erupted.

Customers who had eaten, those who were just about to eat, all stood up and surrounded Nanguofeng’s manager, bombarding him with words, almost drowning him in their spittle.

"What’s the matter? Has Nanguofeng grown too big for its britches, getting too arrogant now? Bullying customers because the store’s big?"

"You guys are going too far, we’ve eaten at Nanguofeng so many times, to think about it now is disgusting!"

"Compensate us for our losses!"

"It’s not just compensation that’s required, also give us a clear explanation, what is going on here?"

Though the manager had experienced big scenes before, he was completely dumbfounded by this situation: "Everyone, please calm down! Don’t get agitated! At Nanguofeng, we’ve always adhered to the principle of the highest level of service... We have been framed."

Before the manager could finish, a stinking shoe flew in from nowhere, hitting him squarely in the face with a thud.
