Chapter 1393: Caught in the Crosshairs

Liu Qingze glanced at Liu Xin'ai's navy blue swimsuit and said with a hint of disdain, "Sister, the color of this swimsuit is so old-fashioned. What style is it? Being too conservative won't do; it'll hide your great figure. How about I help you pick out another one?"

Liu Xin'ai roughly knew what Liu Qingze was thinking, so she poured cold water on him: "We are soaking separately by gender, and Jiang Chenghao isn't going."

Not going?

That is impossible.

Liu Qingze would bet his head on it; Jiang Chenghao will definitely show up!

Sigh, I really hope this trip can lead to new progress between my sister and Jiang Chenghao!

Although he didn't want to admit it, Liu Qingze could feel that his sister would soon recover her memories.

If his sister could rekindle her old flame with Jiang Chenghao before recovering her memories, then her life... wouldn't be so bitter.

Liu Qingze felt a surge of emotion and let out a soft sigh.

The next day—

Liu Xin'ai and the others from the Laboratory set off together on a bus.

Upon reaching the destination, someone came to greet them enthusiastically.

The environment here is truly quite nice.

The hot springs are also fantastic.

Everyone was having a great time.

But when it came time for dinner...

A problem arose!

The restaurant here uses a buffet model, and the dishes are very abundant.

However, a researcher in the Laboratory surnamed Li stared at the crabs for a while, then called over a waiter and said:

"Your description here is inaccurate. It's labeled as red king crab, but this is clearly a mud crab. There is a huge price difference between the two, and the taste is different too."

The waiter looked very busy; after hearing what Xiao Li said, he said impatiently, "They're basically the same."

"These are worlds apart. If someone wants to file a complaint, you'll be in trouble."

The waiter glanced at Xiao Li and then started looking down his nose at him: "I think the person who wants to file a complaint is you, right?"

"What do you mean?"

"Pretending to be kind with a reminder, and once I admit it, you'll whip out a hidden camera and try to extort money, right? I'm taking this dish away right now, let's see how you try to pull your tricks!"

Saying this, the waiter actually carried the plate away.

At first, Xiao Li was a bit dumbfounded.

Then slowly, he began to get angry!

Tell me, what kind of situation is this!

He was clearly giving a kind reminder, so how did he end up being guarded against like a thief!?

The more Xiao Li thought about it, the angrier he got, and finally, he shouted: "I want to file a complaint!!"

Soon, the restaurant manager walked over and said with a smile: "Guest, may I ask what issue you need to file a complaint about?"

"Your seafood quality control is not up to standard. After I discovered the problem, the waiter not only refused to correct it, but instead threw mud at me! This is truly too much! I want that waiter to apologize to me!!"

"Please calm down, guest. You came here to relax, why make such a big fuss over a small matter? How about this, I'll go call that waiter over to apologize to you right now."

This manager's attitude was actually quite good, so seeing this, Xiao Li didn't press the issue further.

However...

The manager went off and never returned!

The so-called apology also had no follow-up!

This... isn't this just treating people like monkeys?

Xiao Li was exceptionally furious, and his stubborn streak kicked in, so he went directly to find the manager to confront him.

Who would have thought, the manager actually said with a smile: "That staff member has gone off shift. I'm truly sorry, he'll be back the day after tomorrow. Why don't you wait a bit?"

Once Xiao Li heard this, he was even angrier!

Everyone is here to have fun; who would just sit here waiting dryly for an apology!

And...

Xiao Li looked straight at the manager and accused him: "I think you're just shielding him! That talk about going to find him was clearly just a delaying tactic!"

"Oh my, guest, you're going too far by saying that. Do you have proof? If you talk nonsense without proof, I can sue you for defamation."

Even while saying such things, the manager was still smiling.

But at this moment, Xiao Li no longer felt he was sincere.

He only felt that this person was a smiling tiger!

Xiao Li wasn't a pushover either; he was going to stand his ground against the other party to the end!

But just at this moment...

Several people dressed as chefs ran over from the kitchen.

They shouted menacingly: "Let me see, who is here looking for trouble?"

The few people quickly locked their gazes onto Xiao Li and surrounded him aggressively, seemingly intending to teach him a lesson.

On the other side, Liu Xin'ai and the others, who were eating, hadn't seen Xiao Li return for a long time, so they came looking for him.

As a result...

They saw him surrounded by them!

"Oh my god, what are they doing? Are they going to beat him up?"

"This is outrageous, ganging up on someone!"

"Let's go over and help him!"

Liu Xin'ai was still rational, knowing that in this situation, it was better to call the police.

But just as she turned around to grab her phone, she almost collided with someone!

"Careful!"

The other person reached out to steady Liu Xin'ai.

And this voice...

Liu Xin'ai looked up and called out in surprise: "Jiang Chenghao?!"

The person standing opposite Liu Xin'ai at this moment was none other than Jiang Chenghao.

Jiang Chenghao was dressed very formally, not at all looking like someone here for a vacation.

Seeing Liu Xin'ai's panicked expression, he asked hurriedly: "What happened?"

"Our people are being bullied, the situation is bad, I'm going to call the police!"

Being bullied?

Jiang Chenghao looked toward the chaotic mess over there and immediately narrowed his eyes.

Then he said to the people behind him: "Follow me to ask about the situation."

There were two people following behind Jiang Chenghao; they were both older than Jiang Chenghao, yet they were very respectful toward him.

Upon hearing Jiang Chenghao's order, their expressions were visibly uneasy!

Liu Xin'ai found this inexplicable.

However, she was more concerned about her colleagues, so she didn't ask further.

Over at Xiao Li's side, someone had already grabbed him by the collar.

The colleagues from the Laboratory also rushed over, loudly accusing the other side.

The atmosphere between the two sides was very tense; with just a tiny spark, they would start fighting!

But at this moment, the manager, who had been hiding at the very back, struggled to squeeze his way over.

He then bowed and scraped with a smile toward the people behind Jiang Chenghao: "Why have you two bosses come over today?"

One of them said with a livid face: "Accompanying the new boss to inspect the work."

The new boss?

The manager knew the Resort had recently changed owners, but the new boss was very mysterious; as an old hand, he had inquired many times but still didn't know the person's identity.

And now, the person had come directly?

This was a great opportunity to curry favor with the boss, so the manager hurriedly signaled his own people to behave themselves.

Then, with a face full of smiles, he asked: "Then I wonder, which one is the new boss?"

"This Mr. Jiang is our new boss."

Mr. Jiang?

Jiang Chenghao?

Liu Xin'ai looked at the man beside her, unable to hide her look of surprise.

The manager was also a bit surprised, not expecting the new boss to be so young.

And... he seemed to have seen him in the news before?

But regardless, flattery was absolutely necessary!

The manager was all smiles and said: "I didn't know you were coming, please forgive my lack of a proper welcome!"

Jiang Chenghao's face, however, held no expression, and his voice was very cold: "Actually, inspecting the work today is secondary; the main point is to see if some friends are having a comfortable time here."
