Chapter 4 Whose Table Is It?

Tang Yin was pissed off when he noticed that Ruan Qin was looking at him disdainfully. However, he couldn’t bother about that at the moment. I have reserved this table just now, so how could it suddenly become Zhang Qiang’s? “Tang Yin, we’ve already said that you reserved this table but they still came over to snatch it. I’ll show them some colors today and we shall see if they still dare to—” Ding Xuan had already rushed out before he finished his sentence. Tang Yin rushed to pull him back. “Just get the waiter to check for us; we’ll just tell them that we’d book the table first!” “Get the waiter? Even if you get the waiter, it doesn’t mean that the table is yours!” Zhang Qiang mocked Tang Yin. “You know what? Let’s get the waiter then!” Tang Yin’s mouth formed into a smirk. The waiter quickly arrived with the restaurant's manager behind him. "Manager Xu, what kind of management is running the place? Get security to throw him out at once!" Zhang Qiang said before showing a black card. This was an Orchid Restaurant premium membership card, and the restaurant prioritized its esteemed members with special attention and services. "Mr. Zhang, please wait a moment. I'll handle it right away." Manager Xu turned around and scrutinized Tang Yin. He realized that Tang Yin was dressed in inexpensive clothing worth less than a hundred bucks, deducing that Tang Yin didn't look like someone who would come to a high-end establishment like theirs, let alone the VIP room on the second floor. Manager Xu asked with a stern expression, "Who are you? What are you doing in our restaurant?" Tang Yin replied, "I'm here to have a meal, of course. We've reserved a private room." "Tang Yin, when did you become so good at pretending?!" Ruan Qin immediately exclaimed. "Manager Xu, don't listen to him. He's just a pauper. How can he afford to dine here?" Tang Yin was utterly disappointed with her. He said, "You really are ignorant." "Where did you get the nerve to say such things?" Ruan Qin pointed at Tang Yin. "I bought these shoes with you at a street vendor's stall for 25 a pair, this pair of pants for 30, and the shirt for 10. We've been together for over a year, and the most money you ever had in your pocket was a hundred bucks. How dare you, a poor loser, talk about eating at Orchid Restaurant? Do you think everyone is a fool?" Zhang Qiang said to Manager Xu with an air of arrogance, "Did you hear that? He sneaked in here. Have security throw him out quickly." One was a rich young man, and the other was a poor guy. Manager Xu chose to believe Zhang Qiang without hesitation. He said to Tang Yin, "This is an upscale dining establishment. Not everyone is welcome here. Get out immediately." Tang Yin said, "Let me repeat myself one more time. This private room was reserved for me. If you don't believe it, you can check the reservation records." "There's no need for that. Mr. Zhang has already said that this is the room he reserved. Get out now, or I'll have security escort you out instead!" As someone who had been in the restaurant business for over a decade, Manager Xu was very confident in his ability to judge people. He couldn't believe that a young man like Tang Yin could afford to dine here. Each person had to spend at least 1,500 to dine here, after all. Tang Yin said with a stern face, "Is this how the manager of this restaurant treats his customers?" Zhang Qiang sneered and said, "You're just a loser who can't even afford a decent meal. What kind of customer are you?" He turned back to Manager Xu and said, "If someone like him can be a customer at Orchid Restaurant, I won't be coming here again. Dining with such people would only lower my status. It seems like I need to inform your boss that the management here is a serious problem." "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. I'll have him leave right away." Manager Xu hastily picked up his walkie-talkie and said, "Security, come to the VIP room on the second floor. We have a troublemaker here." After receiving the order, four burly security guards rushed over quickly. Manager Xu pointed at Tang Yin and said, "Throw him out." Tang Yin smirked and glanced at the manager before slowly taking a purple card out of his pocket and placing it onto the table. “Are you sure you want me to leave?” Manager Xu’s facial expression immediately changed upon noticing the card; his mouth widened from shock and he couldn’t seem to utter anything at all. “I’m sorry! I’m so sorry!” The manager’s attitude took a drastic change as he bowed and apologized to Tang Yin. “I’m so sorry, sir! I must be blind to not recognize you earlier! I sincerely apologize! This table is yours and I will get the others to leave right away!” Zhang Qiang and Ruan Qin were shocked by the manager’s attitude. They couldn’t understand why the manager who had ushered the rest to leave just minutes ago would suddenly change his mind and apologize to them. Manager Xu managed his composure and turned back to the couple. “I'm so sorry, I’ll have to ask you guys to go downstairs and dine in the normal room!” Zhang Qiang was taken aback. However, he immediately snapped back from his trance and exploded, “What are you talking about? Are you actually making us leave? Is there something wrong with your brain? Do you even know who I am? I’m the Garden’s Jewelries’ heir! Do you know how much I spend at the Orchid Restaurant every year? Do you know how much money is in my member card? There are around 10,000 inside, do you know that?! Do you think that you can just make me leave like this? Are you planning to lose your job as a manager?!” “Exactly!” Ruan Qin’s face became cold. She side-eyed Tang Yin before turning to Manager Xu and asked, “How can he make us leave with just a sh*tty card? What right does he have? He is nothing but a poor waiter! A loser! What right does he have to make us leave?” Tang Yin looked at the couple making a commotion before smirking. Manager Xu’s face darkened. “I think that the both of you still do not understand what this card means. This card is exclusively given out only from our restaurant’s global headquarters. Only customers that spent more than a million are eligible to obtain this VIP card. All 900 of the Orchid Restaurants worldwide are required to provide top tier services whenever this card is presented! So, according to the rules, we are to oblige to anything now that we are presented with this VIP card…” “Millions? How is that possible?! Where did he even get the money to do so…” Ruan Qin’s expression turned ghastly. “Are you crazy? Look at him! How could he afford to spend millions in your restaurant?!” Zhang Qiang was throwing a tantrum. Tang Yin was disgusted. This couple actually thought they were so high up among others that they’d never expect others to be even higher up than them. “I'm so sorry but you guys have to go downstairs now!” Manager Xu lowered his voice and said. “I'm not leaving! I want to sit here! I’ve already decided that I want to dine in this area and was even prepared to snap some pictures for my feed! And now, you want me to go down and eat with the other poor losers?! I don’t want to leave!” Ruan Qin shook her arm and pushed Manager Xu away. Manager Xu’s gaze landed on Tang Yin. Looking at Ruan Qin’s behavior, Tang Yin felt ashamed for her. “I’m not leaving! I’d like to see who’d be able to get me to leave today!” Ruan Qin said furiously. Tang Yin was absolutely irked by now. “Is this how the Orchid Restaurant treats their customers? Do you guys not take me seriously? I’ll give you two more minutes to get these people to leave now.” Manager Xu nodded respectfully before turning to Ruan Qin and informed coldly, “Miss, if you don’t leave now, I’ll have no choice but to get the police to arrest you for public disturbance. Also, I will inform your university about this. By then, things won’t be as simple anymore…” Ruan Qin bit her lips and glared at Tang Yin. Tang Yin chuckled. “Clear the area…” Ruan Qin shot up from her seat and started heading downstairs. “Fine! We’ll go eat downstairs then. After all, we’ll order much better dishes than you anyway. A poor loser like you could probably only afford a cup of plain water at places like these!” Tang Yin shook his head and laughed lightly. “Go downstairs? I think you’re mistaken. What I meant was to clear the entire restaurant. Apart from my friends and I, I want every customer in the Orchid Restaurant out right now…”
