Chapter 57: It’s Really Free!
So it turns out that the person who beat Liang Jinfu into such a miserable state is Fang Yu?
This is not just a problem; in fact, it’s a good thing!
For Chen Zhenyu, this is an excellent opportunity to befriend Fang Yu!
A glimmer of joy flashed in Chen Zhenyu’s eyes as he quickly walked towards Fang Yu.
Seeing Chen Zhenyu charging straight at Fang Yu, the surrounding guests all knew that Fang Yu was in trouble.
He had indeed been too arrogant, daring to hit someone in the Andesi restaurant.
Not only did he hit someone, but it was also not just anyone; judging by Liang Jinfu’s tone while lying injured on the ground, he seemed to know Chen Zhenyu!
This meant that the consequences Fang Yu would have to face were even more severe!
The waiter nearby looked at Fang Yu with a mocking expression.
Chen Zhenyu quickly approached Fang Yu, wearing a respectful expression, slightly bending his body, and extending his hand, saying, “Mr. Fang, I’ve long admired your name.”
Everyone was stunned by this scene, including Fang Yu.
Fang Yu had no impression of Chen Zhenyu, so he didn’t immediately understand what Chen Zhenyu meant.
“Mr. Fang, you are a busy person, so you might not have much impression of me. My name is Chen Zhenyu, the owner of this restaurant and the chairman of a catering group… That day at the Ji family banquet was my first time meeting you, Mr. Fang…” Chen Zhenyu said to Fang Yu in a humble manner.
Upon hearing this, Fang Yu understood.
So he was a guest at the Ji family banquet that night; it was normal for him to recognize Fang Yu.
After all, that night, Fang Yu was publicly accused of being a thief by Jiang Yue, causing quite a stir.
Seeing that Chen Zhenyu’s hand was still hanging in the air, Fang Yu reached out and shook it, saying lightly, “Hello.”
At this moment, the surroundings fell silent.
No one expected things to develop this way.
Chen Zhenyu not only did not punish Fang Yu severely but instead respectfully shook hands with him?
“What does Boss Chen mean? He caused a scene in the restaurant and yet nothing happened?”
“Not only did nothing happen, but they even shook hands!”
“I think I just heard about the Ji family banquet… Is the Ji family that Boss Chen mentioned the top-tier family in Jiangnan?”
The Ji family of Jiangnan?
Many people gasped.
Those who could dine at the Andesi restaurant were considered middle class, and their jobs were of a relatively high level.
Thus, many of them had heard of the Ji family.
As the top-tier family in Jiangnan, the Ji family was undoubtedly a lofty existence for these people.
The Ji family’s assets are said to be over ten billion, with a wide range of industries.
Compared to the massive Ji family, Chen Zhenyu’s catering group, valued at over a billion, seemed insignificant.
Earlier, Chen Zhenyu mentioned having seen this student in a school uniform at the Ji family banquet?
This meant that this student had the qualifications to attend a banquet hosted by the Ji family?
What does this imply?
It implies that this student’s identity is extremely noble!
No wonder Chen Zhenyu’s attitude suddenly took a 180-degree turn!
After realizing this, the guests around began to look at Fang Yu differently.
Wang Yan and her daughter, sitting opposite Fang Yu, were in a state of shock.
What on earth is going on?
“Mr. Fang, may I ask what happened just now?” Chen Zhenyu asked respectfully.
“Nothing much, just a fly buzzing around, which was quite annoying, so I casually swatted it away,” Fang Yu said expressionlessly.
Casually swatted it away?
Thinking of Liang Jinfu’s swollen face, Chen Zhenyu showed a strange expression.
“So, how do you want to handle this? I didn’t break anything here…” Fang Yu said.
Chen Zhenyu’s expression changed, and he quickly waved his hand, saying, “Mr. Fang, I absolutely did not mean that. I just wanted to know how things developed. As for that annoying fly you mentioned, I will immediately help you get rid of him.”
Hearing Chen Zhenyu’s words, Liang Jinfu’s face changed drastically as he shouted, “Boss Chen, don’t listen to his nonsense… he…”
“Shut up!” Chen Zhenyu turned his head, his face dark as he glared at Liang Jinfu.
Liang Jinfu trembled all over, not daring to speak again.
“Mr. Fang is my esteemed guest; offending him is equivalent to offending me!” Chen Zhenyu said in a deep voice.
Liang Jinfu’s face turned pale as he looked at Fang Yu, his eyes filled with horror.
This kid… has such a big background?
How could that wretched Wang Yan know someone of this caliber?
“You come here immediately and apologize to Mr. Fang!” Chen Zhenyu commanded again.
Liang Jinfu was filled with resentment and unwillingness.
He was beaten and now had to apologize to the person who hit him? Moreover, there were so many people watching!
But seeing Chen Zhenyu’s grim expression, he knew he had no choice.
If he offended Chen Zhenyu, with Chen Zhenyu’s influence in Jianghai City, especially in the catering industry, he could easily blacklist his restaurant and other businesses!
Liang Jinfu had been poor for over thirty years; he absolutely did not want to return to that kind of impoverished life.
Thus, Liang Jinfu stood up, walked in front of Fang Yu, and was about to bow his head to apologize.
“Don’t apologize to me; apologize to her,” Fang Yu said, looking at Wang Yan.
Liang Jinfu’s body shook, then he turned around and bowed to Wang Yan, saying, “I’m sorry.”
“Mr. Fang, are you satisfied with his apology?” Chen Zhenyu asked Fang Yu.
Fang Yu, however, looked at Wang Yan and said, “Aunt Wang, if you think it’s satisfactory, then it’s satisfactory.”
Wang Yan had long been stunned by the current situation and didn’t know what to say for a moment.
But in Chen Zhenyu’s eyes, Wang Yan’s reaction meant she was unwilling to accept the apology.
“Liang Jinfu, since Miss Wang is unwilling to accept your apology, then I have no choice. Starting tomorrow, I will propose to the Jianghai City Catering Industry Association…”
Hearing Chen Zhenyu’s words, Liang Jinfu’s heart trembled.
Although he had invested in many businesses, most were small ventures; the real money-maker for him was still the catering business!
If Chen Zhenyu really blacklisted him, he would be finished!
Thinking of this, Liang Jinfu directly ‘thudded’ to his knees.
“Wang Yan, I know I was wrong; please forgive me! I was just being mouthy! I’m just a jerk!”
As Liang Jinfu apologized, he knocked his head on the ground, making loud thuds.
The surroundings fell silent.
The consequences of offending a big shot were this severe.
The dignity, reputation, and money that ordinary people pride themselves on are utterly insignificant in front of a big shot.
Yu Yueyue saw that Liang Jinfu’s forehead was bleeding from knocking it, and her face turned pale. She nudged Wang Yan’s arm and whispered, “Mom, let it go.”
Wang Yan came back to her senses, looked deeply at Liang Jinfu, who was kneeling and knocking his head, and said, “You don’t need to apologize anymore; just don’t show up in front of me again.”
Even though Wang Yan spoke, Liang Jinfu did not dare to stop.
He was waiting for Chen Zhenyu or Fang Yu to speak.
Chen Zhenyu looked at Fang Yu, and Fang Yu nodded.
“Liang Jinfu, since Miss Wang has forgiven you, you can leave now, and I won’t hold you responsible,” Chen Zhenyu said.
Liang Jinfu felt as if he had been granted amnesty, stood up, covered the blood on his forehead with a tissue, and left in a disheveled state.
The female companion who had been silent beside him hurriedly followed.
After Liang Jinfu left, Chen Zhenyu looked around and said loudly, “I know what happened just now disturbed everyone and wasted your dining time. To make up for your loss, I have decided to waive the bills for all guests present! You can enjoy the dishes in our restaurant as much as you want, with no limit!”
Upon hearing Chen Zhenyu’s words, the restaurant erupted in cheers and applause.
“Boss Chen is generous!”
“Thank you, Boss Chen!”
…
They really waived the bills?
Fang Yu looked at the waiter standing aside, who was at a loss, and smiled slightly, saying, “Didn’t you say there was no rule about waiving the bill after hitting someone?”
“I, I…”
The waiter looked at Fang Yu in terror, recalling his earlier attitude towards Fang Yu’s table, feeling his legs go weak and cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
How could he have imagined that such an ordinary young man would be a big shot whom even Chen Zhenyu had to treat with respect!?
“Mr. Fang, please continue your meal; I will have the chef personally prepare the best dishes for you… I hope you will enjoy them,” Chen Zhenyu said.
“Ah, right.” Fang Yu looked at Yu Yueyue and said, “Today is her birthday; can you provide a birthday cake?”
