Chapter 34: Lifting a Rock Only to Drop It on One's Own Foot

He turned around, saw Lin Yang force a smile, and said.

"Lin Yang, it turns out you were waiting for Xu Jing, then let's open another table for everyone."

Hearing that, Xu Jing frowned slightly; she had no interest in Wang Song at all.

Lin Yang shook his head and said, "You're in the middle of enjoying your meal, so I won't disturb you."

"Let's just get a private room."

Hearing that, Wang Song gave a cold snort.

"Lin Yang, this isn't an ordinary restaurant; you can't just go to a private room whenever you want."

"I know the boss of this place, but rules are rules; they won't make an exception for you breaking them."

Xu Jing, standing nearby, also furrowed her brows upon hearing that.

She had dined at Han Joy Pavilion before and also knew that private rooms here need to be booked several days in advance.

"Lin Yang, how about we change venues?"

She would rather go to a lower-end place than be together with Wang Song.

Hearing that, Wang Song let out a cold laugh and said.

"There are very few places in the southwest with more ambiance than Han Joy Pavilion."

"Moreover, it's peak dining hour now; everywhere is packed."

Upon hearing Wang Song's words, Xu Jing began to hesitate.

"Or should I just share a table with Wang Song?"

Seeing Xu Jing's hesitant look, Wang Song smugly glanced at Lin Yang.

"Lin Yang, I know you haven't come to such a high-end place in these six years."

"This time I'm telling you these basics so you won't embarrass yourself in front of others later."

After he finished speaking, Wang Song and his gang burst out laughing.

Xu Jing furrowed her brows, her eyes showing undisguised disdain.

"Lin Yang, let's change places to eat; I don't want to eat with them."

Saying that, she pulled Lin Yang to leave.

But with that tug, Lin Yang didn't budge an inch.

He smiled, shook his head, and said to Xu Jing.

"Why leave? This place is huge; if we go to a private room, we won't see them."

Xu Jing still wanted to say something, but then saw Lin Yang shake his head.

"Leave it to me."

For some reason, seeing Lin Yang's smile, Xu Jing inexplicably felt a sense of ease.

Wang Song gave a cold huff and said, "Clueless."

Just as he finished speaking, Lin Yang summoned a waiter, took out a card, and handed it to the waiter.

"Go call your manager and tell him Lin Yang is looking for him."

The waiter glanced at the card in his hand, didn't dare delay, and immediately went to find the manager.

"Huh, you know the manager? I know the boss here—does that even help?"

"Soon he'll learn what the rules are."

Wang Song wore a look of anticipation, waiting to see Lin Yang make a fool of himself.

Not long after, he saw the manager of Han Joy Pavilion rushing out in a fluster.

As soon as he appeared, his gaze swept around.

When he spotted Lin Yang, he immediately ran over and eagerly shook Lin Yang's hand.

"Mr. Lin, I didn't expect your esteemed presence; my apologies for not welcoming you properly!"

Seeing the manager of Han Joy Pavilion all respectful and spouting pleasantries, everyone was stunned.

Even Xu Jing was dazed for a moment.

She knew that the manager of this establishment usually treats big bosses with an aloof, indifferent attitude.

Yet now, in front of Lin Yang, he behaved with such deference.

She looked at Lin Yang with some puzzlement.

Lin Yang gave her a smile, then said to the manager.

"I'm here to eat with my friends; please arrange a private room for us."

Upon hearing that, the manager immediately nodded and said.

"The Han Palace private room is still available; please follow me."

Upon hearing it was the Han Palace, Wang Song's companions immediately couldn't sit still.

"The Han Palace is Boss Liu's exclusive private room, yet the manager actually gave it to someone else!"

Upon hearing that, Wang Song let out a cold laugh and said.

"Then he's just asking for trouble, thinking knowing the manager makes him something special?"

"Dare to go to the Han Palace? I see that as seeking death!"

"I'm going to call Boss Liu right now to see how he'll handle this!"

Saying that, he picked up his phone and dialed Liu Cheng's number.

"Boss Liu, someone has occupied your exclusive Han Palace."

"That person is just a down-and-out dog, though he knows the manager of Han Joy Pavilion..."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Song gave a cold snort.

Brothers, let's eat slowly; after Boss Liu arrives, we'll have a good show to watch.

Hearing Wang Song's words, everyone laughed.

Then we'll just wait for the show, that guy who's seeking his own death.

Hearing everyone's words, Wang Song also smiled, sat down in his seat and began drinking his little wine.

After more than half an hour, a Ferrari appeared at the shop entrance, especially eye-catching.

Seeing the Ferrari appear, Wang Song immediately laughed.

We have a good show to watch.

Then he saw Liu Cheng, furious, walk down from the driver's cabin.

Upon entering the shop, Liu Cheng did not rush to lose his temper; instead, he went to the back office and had the staff call the manager.

Not long after, Manager Yao Bin walked in.

Seeing Yao Bin enter, Liu Cheng said with a stern face.

Yao Bin, you dare bring someone to my private room? You've got a lot of nerve—is that person your relative?

Yao Bin, hearing that, shook his head and said.

Boss, why don't you come with me to take a look? Anyway, you'll need to go there later.

Liu Cheng, hearing that, let out a cold snort and said.

Fine, I'll go with you to take a look!

I really want to see who dares to occupy my private room!

Saying that, he walked out of the office.

When he arrived at the shop, Wang Song and the others, seeing the situation, gloated and immediately went up to him.

Wang Song came up to Liu Cheng, gave a hehe laugh, and said.

Hello, Boss Liu.

Looking at Wang Song, Liu Cheng nodded.

Hmm, you did well on this matter; my Han Palace is for my use only, or to receive important figures.

A lost cause dog—he doesn't deserve to use my exclusive private room!

Yao Bin, walking ahead, hearing that, glanced at Wang Song; his eyes were full of mockery.

This guy really lifted a stone only to drop it on his own foot; he'll find out how tough it is soon.

Being looked at by Yao Bin like that, Wang Song gave a cold snort, utterly unafraid.

Now the real boss is here; what can a mere employee possibly do to me?

A group of people walked to the private room; seeing the retro pull-door, Wang Song excitedly pulled it open.

The door flung wide open, and Wang Song swaggered in.

Lin Yang, you don't understand the rules at all, relying on your acquaintance with the manager to dare break them.

Moreover, this private room is Boss Liu's exclusive private room.

If you kneel and apologize now, I can still intercede for you with Boss Liu.

Xu Jing, sitting opposite Lin Yang, immediately looked nervous.

As for Liu Cheng, she had also heard of him; he's a ruthless and vicious character.

Lin Yang, don't act impulsively later; listen to me...

Lin Yang shook his head and turned his gaze toward Liu Cheng.

Boss Liu, do you have something?

At this moment, Liu Cheng's facial expression kept changing.

Since the door opened, he has been looking at Lin Yang and got scared.

Wang Song actually went up and shouted; he wished he could crush Wang Song to death with two hands!

Now hearing Lin Yang's question, his whole body jolted even more.

He felt that the spot where Lin Yang had hit him last time started to hurt again.
