1024 Acquaintances everywhere
The restaurant manager was responsible, at least he didn't run away when Richie came in with so many motorcyclists. Especially when Tang Ding and Ma Ruoxi were leaving, he dared to come up and stop him.
The manager of this restaurant is also an eight-sided and delicate character, he sees people very accurately, he doesn't dare to provoke Richie, but he dares to stop Tang Ding and Ma Ruoxi, this is because he can see that Tang Ding and Ma Ruoxi are not unreasonable gang members like Richie, and they will not do it at every turn.
Tang Ding and Ma Ruoxi glanced at each other, neither of them was someone who wanted to eat the overlord meal, "Why don't you keep me here as you said before?" Tang Ding said with a smile.
"Nasty, that's a joke on you. Ma Ruoxi was angry that Tang Ding was still joking at this time.
"I'm not kidding, you can really bet me here. Tang Ding said seriously.
In the end, Ma Ruoxi thought about it, "That's it, I'll ask my roommate to come over first, I'll ask her!"
After Ma Ruoxi made the call, her roommate was an alumnus of the University of Paris 1 PanthΓ©on-Sorbonne, and the relationship was not bad, and later they rented a house together and paid the rent together.
After Ma Ruoxi finished the call, the two waited here for the arrival of Ma Ruoxi's roommate, but the restaurant manager came over again, "I'm sorry, you two, since you called your friend over, then please ask him to make up for the loss of our restaurant here by the way, including the damaged seats, and the customers who were scared away because of your fight, and their bills have not been settled." β
"You, you're deceiving people too much. We have a good meal, but they came to trouble us, what does it have to do with us? Besides, we are to blame for not providing us with a good dining environment, in this case, you are not the first to do so, why should we bear the loss?" Ma Ruoxi was articulate, and the manager of this restaurant was really too deceitful, she said indignantly.
"I'm sorry, this lady, you are the cause of all this you said, you are the cause, and it is the effect that this happened. The restaurant manager seems to have grasped the weakness of the two and is unrelenting.
"I think that even if this cost is to be borne by the motorcyclists it is also borne by the motorcyclists . Tang Ding pointed to the mafia that was falling on the ground and said leisurely.
This group of mafiosi who were wailing on the ground screamed even louder when they heard that Tang Ding was going to let them pay for the smashing expenses here and the meal expenses for the food evaders.
Of course, Ma Ruoxi will not pay this money. The money for food is what she can afford. But that is, it will be able to afford it. The three-Michelin star restaurant, praised by gourmets as a restaurant where you can fly back and forth alone for a meal, such a place, of course, is expensive, the per capita consumption is about four or five thousand yuan, Ma Ruoxi and Tang Ding, it costs 10,000 yuan. And the big deal that Ma Ruoxi just negotiated in the morning was less than one million yuan.
I'm afraid that the customers who just dined here are also at thirty or forty tables, and the number of people dining should be nearly a hundred, which basically requires Ma Ruoxi to lose all her income just now, not counting the seats that have just been damaged here.
Of course, the most critical problem is that Ma Ruoxi's wallet was lost, and the million-yuan card was also in it. Now it is difficult to make Ma Ruoxi pay 10,000 yuan for the meal. Otherwise, Ma Ruoxi would not have asked her roommate to come over and send money.
"Jeongmin, here!" Ma Ruoxi saw her roommate coming over through the floor-to-ceiling window and greeted loudly.
"Ruoxi, what's wrong?" a girl with a ponytail walked in quickly, and the two hugged each other.
"Jungmin, alas, don't mention it, my wallet can't be found. Ma Ruoxi didn't expect such a thing, "We didn't bring any money." β
The girl named Zhenmin followed Ma Ruoxi's gaze and looked at Tang Ding, "Hey, you, aren't you Mr. Tang?"
Tang Ding also recognized this girl named Zhen Min, her surname is Lai, her name is Lai Zhen Min, and Tang Ding met at the Dubai Horse Race. At that time, Lai Zhenmin was representing a tycoon on Hong Kong Island in the Jockey Club, and the tycoon took the means of coercing Lai's parents, but Tang Ding took action to save her parents, and gave Lai Zhenmin a future and introduced her to the Royal Racecourse.
However, Lai Zhenmin was not satisfied with being with Ma for the rest of her life, she felt that she had not experienced too many things in her life, she wanted to study, so she came to the University of Paris 1 and became an alumnus with Ma Ruoxi, of course, the two did not know each other at that time. Later, the two rented a house together, and when they asked about each other's experiences, they found out that the two turned out to be alumni.
"Miss Lai, hello. Tang Ding nodded to Lai Zhenmin and said hello.
"Do you know?" The most surprised person was Ma Ruoxi. She didn't expect her roommate to know Tang Ding. Didn't Tang Ding come to France to join his relatives? Could it be that the person he defected to was Lai Zhenmin? Ma Ruoxi's feelings were very complicated.
"Yes, Mr. Tang is my benefactor. Lai Zhenmin said a word, turned his head and asked Ma Ruoxi, "Ruoxi, hurry up and settle the bill, how much money do you have left?"
"Miss, I just made a rough calculation, and your friend still has a hundred thousand euros left unsettled. The restaurant manager heard that Lai Zhenmin was going to pay Ma Ruoxi and Tang Ding, and hurriedly said.
"Huh, how much?" Lai Zhenmin was frightened.
She didn't bring so much money, Lai Zhenmin was coerced before, and she didn't save any money at all, and then she came to the Royal Horse Farm to work for a year, saving a total of 30,000 pounds, and spent most of it on her studies, and she is now working and studying part-time to barely maintain her expenses.
This time, Lai Zhenmin received Ma Ruoxi's request for help and brought 2,000 euros, which was twice the amount of Ma Ruoxi's request, but Lai Zhenmin didn't expect to hear 100,000 euros.
"Zhenmin, don't listen to his nonsense, our meal fee is only 800 euros, and then this group of people came, all the diners were scared away, and the restaurant manager counted all the losses on our heads, and this 100,000 euros is a lie. β
"Then why don't we call the police?" Lai Zhenmin asked.
"This," Ma Ruoxi didn't call the police because she knew that there was something wrong with Tang Ding's identity, and after the police came, they would definitely send him back to China. This is not what Ma Ruoxi wants to see.
But Ma Ruoxi didn't understand, why didn't the restaurant owner call the police? It stands to reason that he is the person who should call the police.
Ma Ruoxi didn't expect it before, it doesn't mean that the restaurant manager didn't expect it either. He didn't dare call the police. He knew that after calling the police, today's responsibility would be put on the fallen members of the motorcycle party, and the responsibility for compensation would definitely be theirs. But can these people come up with the money? If they can't, will they retaliate against the restaurant? And even if they can come up with the money, I'm afraid that in the future, the account will have to be credited to their own restaurant.
However, if you want to rely on the two young people, Tang Ding and Ma Ruoxi, they are not barbaric and unreasonable people, so the restaurant manager is more willing to deal with people like the two of them.
Although Ma Ruoxi couldn't guess the restaurant manager's ghost idea, he couldn't hide it from Tang Ding, "Okay, otherwise let's call the police and let the police deal with this matter." β
When the restaurant manager heard Tang Ding say that he was going to call the police, his tone immediately loosened a lot, "There is no need to trouble the police for such a trivial matter, right? I don't think you look like people who are deliberately looking for trouble, otherwise, in this case, I will give you a discount and only compensate the restaurant 50,000 euros." β
"Five hundred, I'll only pay five hundred euros for the two of us at most. Tang Ding's words almost stunned the restaurant manager.
I have taken the initiative to reduce the compensation amount from 100,000 euros to 50,000 euros, but I didn't expect this Oriental to shout out 500 euros at a price, "This, this, you don't just eat 500 euros, your meal expenses are 780 euros in total." β
"Oh, isn't that why we haven't finished eating? If it weren't for the fact that your restaurant couldn't guarantee that customers could eat at ease, and let these indiscriminate people in, we didn't eat well, and we ate only 500 euros at best, and you would have to find the police to coordinate with these troublemakers. Tang Ding said helplessly.
In fact, for Tang Ding, things that can be solved with money are not called things. However, this does not mean that Tang Ding can use other people's money to help him solve things with peace of mind. It's just that these two women have a close relationship with him, not to mention that these two people don't have enough money, Tang Ding naturally can't bear to let the two daughters affect their lives because of this matter.
"You, you, you're too" The restaurant manager was speechless to Tang Ding, "This is too unreasonable, how can this be?"
"Why not? You can put it on us if it's not our fault, you have to press it on us, it's you who don't reason first, why do we have to reason with you?"
"Mr. Tang, is that you?" a tall middle-aged man came in from the door of the restaurant and stepped forward to hold Tang Ding's hand.
"Are you?" Tang Ding didn't expect that there were still people here who knew him. Tang Ding thought that in this unfamiliar France, he should be alone. Unexpectedly, it was an acquaintance everywhere, first met Lai Zhenmin, and immediately another person came over to hold his hand, saying that he knew himself.
"Hehe, Mr. Tang, I am the account manager of the Greater China North Region of Amex, my name is Smith, I have served you in Dalian, do you remember?"
As soon as the man who claimed to be Smith said it, Downing remembered. When he and Zong Xiaoyan were penniless in Dalian and didn't even have an ID card, it was Smith who came over to help him and successfully withdrew the money.
"Oh, I remember, Smith, hello, why are you in France again?"
"I'm French, and I'm back on vacation this time, to reunite with my wife and children, hehe. Smith was very polite, probably because he knew that no one who could have an Amex Centurion Card was simple, so he would try his best to provide them with the most intimate service, "By the way, Mr. Tang, why are you here?
