"It really is a van!"
When they heard a sound coming from the direction of the van, everyone naturally assud that Su Xuan’s car was indeed a beat-up old minibus. The restaurant owner and his wife exchanged a smug look, appearing as if they had the situation completely under control.
"It’s not that van!"
"The lights on that van aren’t even on!"
"The sound is coming from behind it!"
But a few people noticed the discrepancy and stood up to peer behind the vehicle. The van’s body was quite high, however, so they couldn’t see anything behind it. They did see a few passersby holding up their phones, filming sothing behind the van.
"I’ll go check it out!"
"I’m coming with you!"
Their curiosity piqued, they imdiately ran out of the restaurant to see what was back there. Then, they discovered Su Xuan’s Koenigsegg. They hurriedly snapped a few photos and rushed back inside, excitedly waving their phones and shouting to everyone.
"This is incredible!"
"Look! His car isn’t a van at all, it’s a Koenigsegg!"
"I checked online! His car is worth over a hundred million!"
"There are only a handful of these in the entire world!"
"Everyone, co out and see!"
WHOOSH!
The restaurant emptied in an instant.
"Not a van?"
"It’s actually a car worth over a hundred million?!"
The restaurant owner and his wife stared at each other, dumbfounded.
The wife’s face flushed red as she said, "Honey, I’m sorry, I was wrong. I saw him walk over from near the van, so I just assud it was his."
SLAP!
The owner, furious, raised his hand and struck his wife across the face.
Damn it! I was just about to smooth things over, but you had to go and insist he drove a beat-up van! Are you happy now? Not only does he not drive a van, he drives a supercar worth over a hundred million! How can I possibly afford to offend soone like that?!
The restaurant owner then scrambled over to Su Xuan. He respectfully extended both his hands, his face plastered with a sycophantic smile. "My wife is blind, she didn’t see that you ca to our humble restaurant in a car worth over a hundred million! Please, take a seat. I’ll give you a few dishes on the house. I’m so sorry, truly sorry!"
Su Xuan didn’t shake his hand. "You don’t need to apologize to . Apologize to them."
The owner quickly turned to apologize to the father and daughter.
The construction worker, Feng Ergen, didn’t look at the owner. Instead, he looked at Su Xuan with gratitude and emotion, bowing the back that could carry hundreds of pounds of weight. He thanked Su Xuan sincerely. Keep in mind, even when he was pleading with the waitress earlier, he had refused to bow.
"Thank you, big brother!" his daughter said, also bowing to Su Xuan.
"Is it your birthday today?" Su Xuan crouched in front of Feng Ergen’s daughter and smiled. "Order whatever you want to eat. Let’s make it an unforgettable birthday, okay?"
"Okay!" the little girl nodded.
After Su Xuan made the arrangents, the father and daughter took their seats. The restaurant owner did indeed bring them several complintary dishes and even personally went out to buy the girl a birthday cake.
"Wow, this is so touching!"
"I’m so envious of that father and daughter!"
"With the help of that handso, wealthy young man, they’ll probably never forget this birthday for the rest of their lives, right?"
The people who had gone out to gawk at the Koenigsegg now returned and began to crowd around the father and daughter. This caused Feng Ergen, a man who had never shed a tear no matter the hardship, to feel his eyes redden. He kept thanking Su Xuan and asked for his na and contact information, vowing to repay his kindness properly in the future.
Su Xuan just waved his hand nonchalantly and told Feng Ergen to make sure his daughter ate well.
"Little girl, would you like to blow out the candles and make a wish?" the restaurant owner suddenly asked, leaning in.
"Yes!" the little girl nodded.
"Turn off the lights and light the candles!" the owner shouted to his staff. "Get the birthday song ready! Let’s celebrate the little birthday girl’s big day together!"
The lights went out, and the candles were lit.
Staring at the large birthday cake, the little girl clasped her small hands together, silently made a wish, and then, with everyone’s eyes on her, blew out the candles.
The lights in the restaurant ca back on, and the birthday song began to play.
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you...
Tears of joy sparkled in the little girl’s eyes. This was truly the most unforgettable birthday of her life. She didn’t say her wish out loud, because she’d always been told that wishes don’t co true if you say them.
Her wish was a blessing for Su Xuan...
While they were eating cake, Guo Yuxiang suddenly nudged Su Xuan’s arm and whispered, "Sothing’s wrong with this place."
Su Xuan looked at him. "Hmm?"
Guo Yuxiang hadn’t been sitting idle. He pointed to his phone. "I had so lawyer friends of mine run a check. This restaurant has been secretly serving illegal ats to their VIP custors—wild goat, pangolin, wild boar, you na it!"
"Is that right? How did you find out?" Su Xuan asked.
Guo Yuxiang smirked mysteriously. "Actually, it’s all fake at, just poultry passed off as the real thing. They sell it at sky-high prices to fleece those VIPs. So of them have already hired lawyers to sue the restaurant, so the information was easy to find once I started asking around."
"If they win the lawsuit, what kind of penalty will the restaurant face?" Su Xuan asked.
"Usually, a fine of 50 percent to three tis the value of the illegal sales," Guo Yuxiang said.
"So, what are you planning to do?"
"Brother Su, that owner and his wife were so arrogant earlier. You put them in their place, but they haven’t been truly punished yet. Just give a second."
Guo Yuxiang stood up and waved toward the entrance. A mont later, three or four n in sharp suits walked in and nodded at him.
Su Xuan understood at once. These n had to be the lawyers Guo Yuxiang had called.
Guo Yuxiang led the lawyers over to the restaurant owner, who was standing by the counter. He whispered sothing, and the owner’s face instantly went pale. Then, the owner quickly led Guo Yuxiang and the others upstairs to talk.
After a long while, Guo Yuxiang returned to the table with a triumphant smile. anwhile, the restaurant owner bowed and scraped as he saw the lawyers out.
"Brother Su, guess what I did?" Guo Yuxiang asked mysteriously.
"Let’s hear it. How much did you shake him down for?" Su Xuan laughed.
"Hehe!" Guo Yuxiang grinned slyly and showed Su Xuan his phone. "Three million. I hit him for double the value of his illegal sales."
"And he just agreed to pay?" Su Xuan asked.
Guo Yuxiang lifted his chin proudly. "I told him that if he didn’t show so sincerity, I’d hire the best lawyers and sue him day after day until he paid triple in compensation, maybe even until he was forced to close for good. I also flashed my bar association credentials. He caved imdiately."
Su Xuan laughed. "You’ve really got so nerve. But isn’t what you did illegal, too?"
