Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"Lu Boss, looks like someone isn't cooperating too well."

A resonant voice suddenly rang out from the other end of the Hall.

Gu Hongyuan turned his head following the sound and couldn't help swallowing nervously.

He saw a tall figure stand up from the Window Seat, estimated at nearly 1.9 meters, bulging with sinewy muscle, staring at him with predatory intensity.

That man was precisely Zhao Yan, a trainer at the gym near Food Street; he rotated his wrists, knuckles cracking crisply, and said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes: "This person looks like he doesn't understand reason; I happen to know a bit of boxing and kicking, Lu Boss, need me to help out?"

Hei Xiong and Di Lei, sitting at the same table as him, also stood up, casually showing off their arm muscles, staring at Gu Hongyuan with the eyes of predators eyeing prey.

Qin Ye and his three companions at the next table also wore grave expressions, glaring at Gu Hongyuan with ill intent.

Gu Hongyuan watched the muscle men closing in step by step, and felt the oppressive gazes of a large crowd of diners; his heart couldn't help but panic, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

He knew if he kept stubbornly holding on, there would definitely be no good outcome, so he steeled himself and dropped a harsh line: "Hmph! I'll walk out on my own! This kind of lousy little shop, even if you paid me I wouldn't come back in the future!"

Finished, he glared fiercely at Liu Jie once more, his eyes full of resentment.

As if the loss of face at Lu Family Restaurant today was entirely Liu Jie's fault for bringing him here.

Gu Hongyuan strode angrily toward the Door; passing by Zhao Yan and the others, his pace quickened considerably, afraid that if he walked a moment slower he would be thrown out the door by those burly, broad-shouldered men.

Some people, even when angry, maintain surface politeness, as if it were a disguise.

Lu Feng is exactly that kind of person; although just now in his heart he wanted to directly throw Gu Hongyuan out the door, he consistently behaved with neither servility nor arrogance, looking very polite.

"Sigh... this meal today..."

Liu Jie sighed and gave a bitter smile, watching Gu Hongyuan's departing figure, and said with an embarrassed face.

"It's fine, Brother Jie, your friend is quite interesting."

Lu Feng smiled and patted Liu Jie's shoulder, tone very relaxed: "But in the future it's best not to bring this kind of person anymore."

"I'm really a bit curious."

Fang Yuan's anger hadn't dissipated, tone still very indignant: "How could such a selfish, unscrupulous, and unqualified man have a woman willing to marry him? Even if I stay single for a lifetime and don't marry, I absolutely would not find a man like this!"

"I also discovered he has indeed changed quite a lot these years."

Liu Jie, thinking Gu Hongyuan was after all his university classmate and a friend of many years, couldn't help explaining for him: "But he wasn't like this before; in university his personality was pretty good, he was handsome and multi-talented, quite popular in our school, quite a few girls chased him... just don't know how he turned into this now, could it be that after entering a state-owned enterprise he changed too?"

"Heh, maybe he was originally this kind of person, only he disguised himself very well before; now that he's entered society, with no constraints he stopped pretending. I think this has nothing to do with where he works; a flaw in his personality can't be blamed on society, society doesn't carry this kind of pot."

Fang Yuan sneered, saying dismissively.

"Maybe, forget it forget it, let's not talk about him."

Liu Jie waved his hand, his face still carrying the embarrassment that hadn't dispersed.

Today's incident made him lose face too; Gu Hongyuan's unreasonable behavior made him unable to lift his head before the surrounding diners, and right now he really didn't want to continue discussing this topic.

His gaze fell on the two dishes Gu Hongyuan left on the dining table.

One plate of Stir-fried Pork with Chili had bright, fresh color; the other plate of Red Braised Pork was rich with thick sauce; both were still emitting bursts of enticing Aroma.

Just now Gu Hongyuan only cared about venting his anger at everyone, so he only picked up a couple of chopsticks of these two dishes.

Liu Jie looked at these two dishes that had barely been touched and couldn't help swallowing.

Hu Xiaoyun walked over, just preparing to clear them, when he couldn't help tentatively asking: "Speaking of which, can my friend's two dishes be left for me to eat a bit?"

Hu Xiaoyun froze for a moment, then showed an apologetic smile and gently shook her head: "Sorry, the money for this meal has already been refunded, can't let you eat it anymore."

Hu Xiaoyun finished, then turned back and glanced at Lu Feng who was just preparing to enter the Kitchen, lowered her voice and quietly said to Liu Jie: "But... I see you know our Boss; how about... you ask his opinion? If he agrees, you can keep them and eat them yourself."

"Lu..."

Liu Jie's eyes lit up, about to call out to Lu Feng, but the words reached his mouth and he swallowed them back.

He suddenly remembered, if today he hadn't brought Gu Hongyuan here, just now there wouldn't have been an unpleasant incident.

This matter today already caused trouble for Lu Feng; if he opened his mouth to make a request now, he really couldn't bring himself to say it.

Thinking of this, Liu Jie sighed, waved at Hu Xiaoyun, and said helplessly: "Forget it forget it, won't trouble Lu Feng, I'll just eat my own portion."

Finished, he lowered his head, picked up his chopsticks, and silently ate the food on the table.

This small storm, at this point, counted as coming to an end; Lu Family Restaurant's Hall returned to its usual bustle.

The diners in the Hall still hadn't recovered from the incident just now, and began discussing one after another.

"Speaking of that person just now, he looked to be in his thirties, right?"

A diner working in a nearby Office Building said while eating the noodles in his bowl, curling his lip, tone full of disdain: "At this age, a monthly salary of only five thousand? Mixed up worse than me! Laughing my head off!"

The diner sitting opposite him immediately chimed in: "Who says not! I just don't get it, even a trashy guy like him can have a wife, I look no different from him! How come I still don't even have a girlfriend?"

This person spoke while subconsciously fixing the hairstyle on his head, tone full of complaint.

Looks like he's been single for a long time, the resentment in his heart can't be held back.

"I reckon it's because his wife looks ordinary, afraid no one would want her after divorce, so she endures the grievance and carries on with him."

A diner at the next table leaned over, speculating in a low voice.

"As a woman, I feel that man's wife also has issues."

A female diner put down her chopsticks and said seriously: "Marrying such a man, she still earns that much money every month, she should seize control of the financial power herself, otherwise she'll keep suffering grievances in the future."
