Chapter 104 I'll go meet him myself
"Oh, brother and sister-in-law, after this happened, have I ever blamed you for anything?"
Zhang Dong sincerely tried to persuade them to stay.
Zhang Dong's words made them feel even more ashamed. Dong Qichang and his wife lowered their heads even further.
"That's why we feel even more sorry for you."
After showering them with compliments, Zhang Dong, seeing that the couple genuinely looked ashamed, had no choice but to reluctantly agree to their request.
The couple then raised their heads.
"Brother Zhang Dong, we're withdrawing from the operation of this restaurant and giving you an additional 15 yuan. In other words, the restaurant was originally valued at 15 yuan. How does that sound?"
Upon hearing that Dong Qichang was offering him 15 yuan, Zhang Dong waved his hand and said, "No need for so much, brother and sister-in-law. I know you've spent a lot of money on medical treatment for the elderly."
Hearing Zhang Dong's thoughtful words, the couple were so moved that tears streamed down their faces.
“Absolutely not. Our restaurant was originally valued at around 100,000 yuan. Now, the 150,000 yuan we're charging is already the highest price we can offer. We must refund you 150,000 yuan.”
Seeing how insistent the couple was, Zhang Dong had no choice but to nod in agreement.
He also felt that working with people required treating them with sincerity. He had done his best and had a clear conscience. As for what others did, he would leave it to their conscience.
Thus, the restaurant, which was originally a joint venture between the two companies, became solely operated by Zhang Dong after Dong Qichang and his wife withdrew.
But now, thanks to Brother Dao's involvement, he doesn't need to worry about the chef at all.
As the head chef of their restaurant, Brother Dao handled all the kitchen affairs in an orderly manner, making Zhang Dong's life much easier.
Zhang Dong could also see that Brother Dao was very grateful to him for hiring him, so he did everything perfectly.
A few days later, one morning, Xiao Wang, the purchasing agent, rushed in from outside, looking very anxious.
"Boss, something's happened. Our restaurant can't even buy the ingredients for cooking anymore."
Upon hearing the procurement explanation, Zhang Dong was taken aback.
"What did you say? We can't even buy basic raw materials like vegetables and meat? That's really weird!"
Zhang Dong was momentarily stunned, even putting down the teacup he had just brought to his lips.
"Boss, I heard that some people are envious of our restaurant's booming business, which has caused dissatisfaction among other restaurants in the surrounding area. That's why they've teamed up to suppress us."
"Oh, is that so?"
Upon hearing the procurement explanation, Zhang Dong picked up his teacup again.
The same old routine, the same old story.
Wasn't this how that bastard Wang Jianguo treated me before?
"Then tell me, who is the leader of the group that's now turning against us?"
Upon hearing this question, Zhang Dong noticed that Xiao Wang, the purchasing agent, trembled violently.
"Boss, this morning when I went to buy meat, none of the meat vendors dared to sell us fresh meat. I was a little angry, so I went to other meat stalls to buy meat, but they also wouldn't sell to us."
"I asked a small vendor I often buy meat from, and that's when he told me the truth."
"He said that the person who was behind our attacks was the owner of Sihai Restaurant."
"He has already greeted each of the meat and vegetable vendors and told them that if anyone dares to sell to us, they should be kicked out of the market and never be able to do business again."
"Oh, sure, as long as we find the real culprit, that's fine. Now tell me, what's the background of the owner of this Sihai Restaurant?"
Zhang Dong stared at Xiao Wang's face and asked him this question.
He had noticed earlier that Xiao Wang's body trembled noticeably when the owner of the Sihai Hotel was mentioned.
This shows that the owner of the Sihai Hotel is a very famous person.
Sure enough, upon hearing Zhang Dong's question, Xiao Wang's body trembled violently once again.
"Oh dear, the owner of the Sihai Hotel is quite a troublesome person."
"He was a notorious local gang leader; you could say he was the boss of the underworld in this area. Who among the butchers and vegetable vendors dared disobey his orders, so..."
Xiao Wang didn't finish his sentence, but Zhang Dong already understood what he meant.
"Are you planning to use this method to shut our restaurant down?"
Xiao Wang nodded: "That's exactly what they meant. After hearing the news, I rushed back."
"Boss, we're in trouble now. It looks like our restaurant will have a hard time staying open..."
"Hahaha--"
Upon hearing Xiao Wang's words, Zhang Dong suddenly burst into laughter.
"It's too early to draw such conclusions. Who says my restaurant can't stay in business? He's just the owner of Sihai Restaurant. I'll go and meet him myself."
Upon hearing Zhang Dong's casual remark, Xiao Wang, the purchasing agent, broke out in a cold sweat.
"Oh, boss, you can't do that!"
"You have no idea how famous Hai Bawang, the owner of Sihai Manor, is. He's a ruthless killer."
"What? A ruthless killer? Does this guy have someone on his hands?"
Zhang Dong noticed this and asked Xiao Wang about it with suspicion.
Xiao Wang nodded, then shook his head: "Anyway, that's the rumor, but there's no doubt that the other party is ruthless."
"If you want to go find this Sea King, I'm afraid you'll have to be carried back if you try to walk there."
Xiao Wang, the purchasing agent, expressed his concerns.
Zhang Dong, however, was full of disdain: "After you said that, he's become even more lawless."
Speaking slowly and deliberately, Zhang Dong brewed himself another cup of tea.
Holding his water cup, he asked around until he arrived at the entrance of Sihai Villa.
The lackey at the door was somewhat surprised to see a young man come to eat at just past nine o'clock.
"Hey kid, here for dinner so early?"
Seeing several lackeys asking him questions, Zhang Dong smiled.
"I am the owner of the Great Wall Hotel. I didn't come here to eat. I came to talk to your boss."
"What, you want to see our boss?"
When Zhang Dong revealed his identity, these lackeys immediately understood what was going on.
"You little brat, you dare come looking for our boss?"
The henchmen were somewhat incredulous to see Zhang Dong arrive so casually with a water cup in his hand.
Zhang Dong smiled faintly: "Stop talking nonsense and quickly tell your boss that I, Zhang Dong, have come to see him."
The lackeys, finally realizing what had happened, stared intently at Zhang Dong before coming to their senses.
"Alright, you've got guts. We'll go tell the boss right now that you've come to see him."
The living room of Sihai Villa is decorated like a traditional banquet hall from ancient times.
Zhang Dong strode into the room and immediately saw a grand chair in the very center, where a large, fat man was sitting.
Behind him stood a dozen or so burly men.
Meanwhile, the fat man sitting in the armchair looked at Zhang Dong, who had just entered, with a murderous expression.
