Chapter 17 An Upstart—Manager Yang "Hey! Go to another place to eat; I am going to use this place." Ye Tian was not sure if he should apologize. He saw that the middle-aged man was walking in front of him with his arm around a young woman's waist. He took 100 Yuan from his hand and threw it at the feet of Ye Tian. His expression was full of arrogance. He looked at Ye Tian and waved his hand impatiently. He said in a commanding tone, "This is your tip. Now leave." Ye Tian frowned slightly as unhappiness grew in his heart. Without thinking about it, he realized what the middle-aged man wanted to do, namely take this woman to a secluded corner corner. Apparently, this middle-aged man regarded Ye Tian as a waiter hired by the Family Su to serve at the event. He deliberately took the money out to shoo him away and show off in front of his female companion. Nevertheless, Ye Tian still focused on the lottery draw of the system. He had no time to make a fuss about the trifles of this middle-aged man. Although he was not comfortable with this, he stood up and got ready to change places. Although Ye Tian was not in the mood to make a ruckus, the middle-aged man would not let him go so easily. He thought an insignificant waiter—in his eyes—had not respected him. He couldn't help but frown, and he shouted in a frosty voice, "Freeze!" "What?" Ye Tian was in the worst mood at the moment, and he couldn't wait to slap the face of the middle-aged man. After all, it was a banquet to celebrate the discharge of Grandpa Su. After thinking for a moment, he eventually tolerated the man's treatment and bad behavior. "Why don't you pick up the money on the floor? Do you think it is too little money to even stoop down?" the middle-aged man asked Ye Tian in a condescending voice. Obviously, it was because Ye Tian hadn't made him feel respected in front of his female partner, and that was when he was freaking out about. "You are really a bad waiter. Our Manager Yang giving you money means he thinks highly of you. One hundred Yuan is enough for you to carry a lot of trays!" the young woman said in a seductive tone, mostly for the man's sake. It seemed like she was saying this for Ye Tian's own good, but what she said was full of contempt. "Sorry," Ye Tian said clearly. "I am not a waiter, and I don't need your money." He had just earned a dozen gold in the Dog Food system; why would he need this kind of insulting money? He thought that it really took all sorts of people to make the world go round. He decided to ignore this kind of upstart. When Ye Tian was about to leave, Manager Yang became angry and he blocked the way in front of Ye Tian. He said angrily, "You are not a waiter? Then how did you get in here? This is a banquet to celebrate Grandpa Su leaving the hospital in good health." "It is none of your business!" Ye Tian rolled his eyes and secretly thought he was so unlucky. "Of course it is my business!" Manager Yang was very excited at this moment. He seemed to see a shortcut to please Grandpa Su. He said loudly, "This is a banquet to celebrate the rehabilitation of Grandpa Su. As for the people like you, of unknown origin coming in here for free food and drink, we are definitely obliged to drive you out!" The voice of Manager Yang attracted a lot of people's attention. After seeing Ye Tian dressed in very cheap clothes, everyone began to whisper and talk about him. "Where does the poor wretch come from? I think he is insane, that he even dares come to the Grandpa Su's banquet to scrounge for food. He will definitely be driven out by the bodyguards." "Yeah, Su Family is one of the best families in Tiandu Province, and even the provincial governor would respect Grandpa Su. Judging from the appearance of this little bastard, he is totally not a rich and powerful person. He even dares to sneak up to Grandpa Su's banquet, which means that he cannot be allowed to live in Tiandu City anymore!" "There is going to be a good show here. Although Grandpa Su is not a harsh and mean kind of person, he will not take off the gloves. But there are too many people in Tiandu City who want to please Su Lao; isn't Manager Yang one of them? This person is totally dead. There will definitely be a large group of people who want to please the Su Family. He will stand out and they will let him know the price of scrounging food here." ...... Seeing such an episode at the banquet, the onlookers gleefully talked about it, as if they had seen the scene if Ye Tian being taught such a lesson in respect. After hearing the chattering voices of other people, Manager Yang became prouder. His arrogant gesture was vividly reflected at this moment in his face, which was haughtily lifted high. He spoke to a waiter, who was next to him. "How can you be so irresponsible? Haven't you seen someone sneak in and scrounge food here? Drive him out! Now!" "Sir, can you please show me your invitation to the banquet?" the waiter demanded as he rushed over to Ye Tian. He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and waited for the reply. "I came here with my wife, and I don't have an invitation." Ye Tian shook his head. Regarding the waiter this way was kind of polite and he did not make him too embarrassed. He looked around and wanted to find Li Chenglin to deal with the affair as soon as possible. After the waiter listened to this, he was suddenly shocked to his core. Although the banquet was held by the Su Family, the club was directly responsible for all the dishes and the various arrangements for it. As a waiter at a top private club, he was very aware of the importance of this banquet. Depending on the identities of the guests, it could be said that even Manager Yang, the upstart who had ordered him, was also a famous person in Tiandu City. It would be absolutely a big deal for the entire club if someone had sneaked in and scrounged food at such a luxurious banquet. It would seriously damage the reputation of the club. Once the affair was confirmed, matters for all wait staff, and even the manager of the club, would not end well. However, the waiters hired by the top clubs were naturally not idiots. Although he also believed that, according to what Ye Tian was wearing, it was unlikely he was invited, so he still said politely, "Sir, if you don't mind, can I ask who your wife is? Can you ask her to prove your identity?" The politeness of the waiter reduced a lot of anger in Ye Tian's heart. He said, "My wife is Su Mei. She just went to the room to change her clothes. You can ask her about it after she comes out." Su Mei? The people around were all stunned and looked at each other in speechless despair. Everyone knew Su Mei. She was the chairman of the Mei Shi Group, which accounted for the greatest part of the cosmetics groups in Hai City. She was all-powerful in business and the goddess in countless people's dream. Nevertheless, most of the people in the room had some connections with the Su Family, and they were more aware of the strong background of the family's history. The Su Family, as the top family in the province, was not as simple as a mere business family or a political family. Any top-level family represented the ability to easily control the local area, like covering the sky with only one hand. Their tentacles almost touched every business to every official position. Any top family was a huge monster. Su Mei, as the most beloved daughter, was like a pearl in the palm of the Su Family, was even much powerful than the chairman of the Mei Shi Group. But this poor guy who wore cheap clothes, he even said that his wife was Su Mei, stunned everyone at once, and some were even surprised with horror. "Hha! Bastard, are you scared or crazy?" Manager Yang reacted first and he couldn't help but laugh loudly. He said disdainfully, "How can you, a poor bastard, have any relationship with such a big shot like Miss Su? Why don't you look at your poor and base appearance? Leave the daughter of the Su Family alone. Even a sweeping cleaner's one-month salary is several times what you earn! Where are the bodyguards? This jerk dared to smear Miss Su's reputation by claiming to know her! And why haven't you driven him out already?!"
