Chapter 921: The Boastful Zhou Huaiyu
When the guests at the Luo’s heard what Changgui said, they all turned in his direction.
Most of the guests did not know who Changgui was, because most of the guests could not afford to eat at Fortune Restaurant, but some of them recognized him.
No one spoke at the moment. They were all waiting to see what would happen next.
Zhou Huaiyu came out when he heard the sound of an argument.
He saw the waiters from Fortune Restaurant, but asked with a smile. “Are you eating here? We have no seats available now. What about waiting for a while or you can change to another place.”
Changgui glanced at the hall.
The seats were indeed all taken, but they were not here for food.
“Are you the manager?” Changgui asked.
“Yes.” Zhou Huaiyu replied.
“We are from Fortune Restaurant, you must have heard about it, it is the largest restaurant not far from here. Our manager is the Imperial Master. He is asking you to leave, because you are casting bad influence over our restaurant! The Imperial Master is an easygoing person. You are not allowed to open a restaurant here in the capital, but you are allowed to open it somewhere else. Move out of this place, then we will leave you alone,” Changgui said with an intimidating tone.
He included his own ideas inside too. None of them wanted this restaurant to stay.
Hearing what Changgui said, Zhou Huaiyu did not get scared. Instead, he laughed.
“The Imperial Master? Just because he is the Imperial Master doesn’t necessarily mean that he can do whatever he wants. There is no law written in the Feather Mulberry Land that no restaurants are allowed to be opened close to the Imperial Master’s restaurant. We are civilians and we can open restaurants too. So our restaurant is not breaching the law, nor are we causing any trouble to the public order. Why should we shut down?” Zhou Huaiyu asked confusedly, as if he had heard no words from the people in front of him.
Changgui frowned and his face changed. He had had some expectations before he set foot here.
The Imperial Master owned Fortune Restaurant, and even though the Imperial Master was not part of the imperial family, he was still the leader of the ministers. Everyone had to pay respect to the Imperial Master here in the Feather Mulberry Land!
Even those officers and ministers showed respect, but this manager of the Luo’s wasn’t scared of the Imperial Master at all. And he did not seem to care either.
Changgui was startled for a very long time, but now he was reminded of what the Imperial Master said to him. Instead of changing his attitudes, he said, “I believe that you don’t know much about Fortune Restaurant. Fortune Restaurant is run by the Imperial Master, but the income has all been given to the national storage. So the King reads the billing note of Fortune Restaurant as well.”
“…”
“We are not shutting your restaurant down, you just can’t do it in the capital.” Changgui added.
Zhou Huaiyu snorted. “The King reads your billing notes, because your manager contributes to the national storage with your income. That is why the King reads them.”
“…”
“We are paying tax too, but we can’t give the income to the national storage, because we are civilians that need the income to support our families.”
“…”
“These two are unrelated. Why should we shut down?”
“…”
“Even the King would find this makes no sense,” Zhou Huaiyu said confidently.
