Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 597 The sky has fallen, the store manager and general manager are out of work, they messed with the wrong person.
The store manager, Sister Xia, frowned and said, "This customer, what does this have to do with you? Are you from the mainland? You don't seem to know the rules here in Hong Kong?"

Hu Jiangshan raised an eyebrow: "What? So what if you're from the mainland? Are there any special rules for opening a shop here in Hong Kong?"

Sister Xia tilted her head back and looked down at Hu Jiangshan through her nostrils.

"Of course there are rules. How we operate our store and manage our employees is up to us! What does it have to do with you, a customer? Let me tell you! It has absolutely nothing to do with us!"

Hu Jiangshan knew that what the store manager, Sister Xia, said was indeed the reality.

In the service industry on Hong Kong Island, customers don't have a high status. Being mistreated in a shop is commonplace, but Hu Jiangshan doesn't tolerate that.

Are you suggesting Hu Jiangshan should swallow his anger? Absolutely not!

Hu Jiangshan said, "You had better be responsible for what you said. I am a customer and should be respected. You have affected my dining experience, and that is not your restaurant's business."

"Huh? What do you want to do then? Distinguished guest, are you going to sue me? Let me tell you, nobody in Hong Kong cares about these things! Your wishful thinking is going to fall through."

Hu Jiangshan sneered: "Fine, since you put it that way, I'll make a call right now, and someone will take care of you in a bit!"

"Huh? Then go ahead and hit me! Hit me now! I'll be waiting right here! I refuse to believe that anyone in Hong Kong can handle me!"

Xia Jie looked at Hu Jiangshan with a calm and cold expression, as if he were a weakling who could be manipulated at will.

Liu Zixia looked worried and whispered to Hu Jiangshan, "Forget it, sir. Our manager does have a bad temper. Let's not bother with her. It's not worth it."

Xia Jie glared at Liu Zixia: "Zixia! Do you really not want to work here anymore?"

"No, no! Sister Xia, I didn't say I didn't want to work!"

"In my opinion, you just don't want to work here! Fine! I'll talk to the manager right now! You're fired immediately! Tomorrow, no, tonight, pack your things and get off this island!"

Liu Zixia was also a bit temperamental: "Why should I? Why should I leave now? If I'm going to leave, I'll do all the formalities first! You need to pay me all my wages!"

"You'll get paid? Dream on! Let me tell you! I won't give you a single penny!"

At this moment, Hu Jiangshan said, "Alright! Manager, I'm going to make a call to someone right now. Let me make this clear: the person who leaves may not be her."

"Hey, you think you can just kick me out?"

"Why not?"

Hu Jiangshan sneered, which made Xia Jie feel uneasy.

Sister Xia said, "You don't need to call, I'll call! I'll have our manager come and talk to you! I can't be bothered with you!"

As she spoke, Sister Xia took out her phone with lightning speed and dialed a number.

Hu Jiangshan, however, was not in a hurry.

He was curious about who Sister Xia would contact to communicate with him.
Since the goal is to fish, the bigger the fish, the better. Cleaning up the mess in the shop will earn Feng Chao's gratitude. It's a win-win situation, no, it should be a great thing with multiple benefits.

Sister Xia, you're quite efficient at this; the call was answered very quickly.

"Manager Wang, I've run into a problem. A customer has been causing trouble for no reason, and I got really angry. I argued with him for a bit, and now he's saying he wants to sue me!"

"Okay, Manager Wang, no problem. Come over here right away, I'm waiting for you."

Xia Jie spoke a few more words to the other party before hanging up the phone. Her lips curled up, her eyes sharpened, and her chin was held even higher. From this angle, Hu Jiangshan could only see her double chin.

"You just wait! Our Manager Wang is coming, and you'll be in for a world of hurt!"

Hu Jiangshan laughed: "Does your Manager Wang have three heads and six arms? How come I'm the one who's having an easy time? Can he beat me up?"

Liu Zixia was a little worried and whispered to Hu Jiangshan, "Guest, you'd better leave here quickly, Manager Wang..."

"What's up with him?"

“He’s really fierce. I heard he used to fight a lot. I’m afraid he might actually hit me.”

Hu Jiangshan said calmly, "Alright, let's get started! I'm not afraid of taking a few hits, but your fat store manager and Manager Wang will probably have to go inside and operate the sewing machine."

Sister Xia chuckled: "Who goes in is still uncertain. We'll show you what it means to be outmatched. You think you're so important, 'distinguished guest'? What a joke."

Liu Zixia was genuinely worried, but Hu Jiangshan didn't seem to notice anything and was just waiting for the other party to take the bait.

A moment later, two men walked over. The man in front did look rather fierce, with sharp eyes. He was probably in his thirties and looked like someone involved in organized crime.

The other guests on the second floor were somewhat worried when they saw Manager Wang, fearing that he might actually make a move in a moment.

But no one left; they probably wanted to watch the excitement.

Sister Xia immediately went up to him and said, "Manager Wang, this is the person. He's always causing trouble for no reason and he's made me so angry that my hands are shaking."

As she spoke, Sister Xia pointed at Hu Jiangshan.

Manager Wang sized up Hu Jiangshan a few times: "Oh, it's you. What do you want?"

Hu Jiangshan said indifferently, "Manager Wang, right? I'm here to eat. What else could I be doing? I have no interest in causing trouble."

"You're just eating, why are you arguing with the manager? You say you're not looking for trouble, but I think you're not hungry at all, you're just full and have nothing better to do."

Hu Jiangshan said calmly, "Manager Wang, I think you should watch your words. Don't you know the saying 'trouble comes from the mouth'?"

Manager Wang chuckled: "Oh, this guest, you really think too highly of yourself. I always speak like this. What do you want? I'd like to see what you can do to me!"

At this moment, Liu Zixia quickly said, "Manager Wang, please don't take this to heart. It's nothing serious, just a little argument."

"A quarrel? A quarrel alone is not enough! I'm in charge of this shop! Not a single thing can go wrong!"

Manager Wang said, "How about this, sir? Let's go outside and talk, so as not to disturb others who are eating."

Hu Jiangshan said, "Don't worry, Manager Wang, let me make a call."

"Who should we call? The police? Let me tell you, there's no police station here, and they won't come all the way here. Oh, you mean the marine police? They don't deal with things on the island."

Hu Jiangshan smiled slightly: "I really didn't call the police."

"Then who are you going to call? There's no one here who will help you."

Hu Jiangshan laughed: "The person I found can definitely control you."

"Huh? You can't control me?"

Manager Wang burst into laughter: "I think you've gone mad! I really don't know who else can control me."

Hu Jiangshan glanced at Manager Wang: "Your boss can't control you? I don't believe it." Manager Wang was stunned, exchanged a glance with Sister Xia, and then looked at Hu Jiangshan at the same time, before suddenly laughing again.

"Kid, you've got a sharp tongue! You've successfully caught my attention, but don't think you can fool me like that. Do you know who our boss is? He's not someone you can just get close to. If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll give you a couple of electric shocks! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget."

Hu Jiangshan took out his phone and said, "It's okay if you don't believe me. I'll contact him now, and you'll believe me eventually."

"Fine! Go ahead and call. I don't believe you can actually contact my boss. If you can, then I'll be impressed."

Hu Jiangshan ignored Manager Wang and actually made a phone call.

Hu Jiangshan contacted none other than that kid Feng Hua.

The awkward thing is, the call went through, but Feng Hua was nowhere to be found.

My phone rang for ages, but I didn't answer it.

Hu Jiangshan thought to himself, "Could Feng Hua be chatting with that girl and doing something naughty? This guy really lets us down at crucial moments."

Hu Jiangshan hung up the phone and remained silent for a moment.

Manager Wang and Sister Xia both burst into laughter.

Manager Wang said, "Honorable guest, what's wrong? Haven't you been able to contact our boss?"

Sister Xia was a little worried just now, but now she felt relieved and chuckled, "I see you don't even know who our boss is, so what are you contacting? Do you think we're easy to scare? You're overthinking it."

Manager Wang patted Hu Jiangshan on the shoulder: "Let's go, don't just occupy this spot. When it's lunchtime, a lot of customers will come in looking for a seat."

Hu Jiangshan said calmly, "I've already ordered, and you're kicking me out before I can finish my food? Your restaurant is really taking advantage of its size. How can you do business like this? What kind of rules are you using?"

"Did you order anything?"

When Manager Wang saw Liu Zixia holding the order book, he reached out and snatched it, tearing the items Hu Jiangshan had ordered into pieces in front of everyone.

Manager Wang said calmly, "You don't need to argue with me about these things. These are the rules I set. I run this store, so naturally you have to listen to me."

Xia Jie glared at Hu Jiangshan and shouted, "Get out of here! Don't take up space here! Otherwise, it won't look good for us!"

Just then, Hu Jiangshan's cell phone, which was on the table, rang.

When Manager Wang saw the caller ID displaying the name "Hua Zi," his expression turned somewhat strange.

Hua Zi? Could he really be...?

No, that can't be. How could this guy possibly know the boss?

At this moment, Hu Jiangshan glanced at his phone screen, picked it up casually, and answered the call.

"Hey, Hua Zi, what were you busy with just now? Why didn't you answer the phone? I was really worried."

"Hey, you never get anything done! You let us down at the crucial moment, you're something else!"

"Here's the thing, I'm at Tenglong Island Resort right now, yes, yes, right here at your shop, Wolong Ice Room, and I've run into a bit of a problem."

"Don't even mention it! What's wrong with this store? The service is terrible! I've never been to such a bad store before! It was a complete disaster!"

"That's right, it's not a misunderstanding. First, a store manager came over and started talking back to me like crazy, she was practically cursing me. Yes, it was that Xia-jie. Then Manager Wang came and rolled up his sleeves, ready to beat me up. Now he wants to kick me out."

Manager Wang and Sister Xia exchanged a glance upon hearing this, both revealing somewhat ominous expressions.

Manager Wang whispered, "He wouldn't have actually contacted the boss, would he?"

Xia Jie's expression changed, then she shook her head: "Impossible, the boss is so busy, how could he have time to deal with someone like this? Besides, if he were really the boss's friend, why would he be eating alone?"

Manager Wang thought about it and felt that Sister Xia's words made sense.

To be honest, although Sister Xia is only the store manager, she is very shrewd and adept at flattering superiors and subordinates. She is very popular and has a great relationship with Manager Wang.

To put it bluntly, the relationship between these two is almost like that of a married couple.

At this moment, Manager Wang suddenly said, "It's no use calling anyone. Get out of here right now, or I'll have to resort to violence!"

Hu Jiangshan said calmly, "Did you hear that? This is what your Manager Wang said. He's already raised his fist. I think I have to go out now. If I don't, he'll beat me black in the eye right away."

The person on the other end of the phone was clearly anxious and said something loudly to Hu Jiangshan.

Hu Jiangshan smiled and turned on the speakerphone. Sure enough, Feng Hua's angry shouts came through the phone.

"Damn it, Manager Wang! Are you out of your mind? Do you know what you're doing? Do you want to lose your job?!"

Upon hearing this, Manager Wang was so frightened that he took two steps back, and his face fell.

Xia Jie was completely at a loss, feeling utterly dejected, as if the sky had fallen.

Without a doubt, that sounds like the voice of the boss, Feng Hua!

Xia Jie was initially convinced that the customer was talking nonsense and bragging, but she didn't expect that he actually knew the boss, Feng Hua.

Moreover, judging from the boss's tone, he was clearly furious. It was obvious that Sister Xia and Manager Wang had offended the wrong people and done the wrong things.

Thinking about this, Sister Xia realized she had really messed up and was in deep trouble.

Manager Wang looked fierce and menacing, but he was actually quite vulnerable inside and couldn't utter a single word at that moment.

It's not that I don't want to talk, but I stammer and stutter whenever I try to speak.

Sister Xia quickly said, "I'm so sorry, boss, we didn't recognize you! We didn't realize this was your friend. We'll apologize to him right away!"

Feng Hua roared, "Apologize my ass! You! Zhao Huixia! And Wang Erping! You two just wait! No, get the hell out of here! Don't let me see you again! If I see you, I'll kill you!"

Sister Xia was almost in tears: "Boss, please don't be angry. We will apologize right away. We'd even kneel down to you, our esteemed friend."

"Kneel my ass! I'm coming right now! I'll kick you all out! See how powerful you are! You really think you can act like local tyrants just because we handed the shop over to you? You son of a bitch..."

Good grief, Feng Hua then unleashed a torrent of profanities, the language of which was particularly vile and offensive.

Liu Zixia lowered her head, but it was clear that she was in a good mood.

Liu Zixia secretly glanced at Hu Jiangshan and seemed to notice that he had become even more handsome and dashing.

Especially her demeanor, so calm and composed, it was truly amazing.

Why didn't Sister Xia and Manager Wang realize that this handsome guy was definitely not an ordinary person?
