Chapter 451: 450
He was in a hurry to find Chu Tianying; that boy probably had his way by now and should have left even if he hadn’t.
“Hey, wait a second!”
Ye Tian had just turned around when his arm was pulled by soone. He looked back and saw that it was the woman.
The girl said with genuine sincerity, “Guest from afar, may I have your na?”
After thinking for a mont, Ye Tian said in a low voice, “If I tell you, you can’t tell anyone else.”
The girl nodded emphatically.
“My na is… a kindhearted person from Huaxia.”
The girl paused, then smiled with understanding. Her smile, however, made Ye Tian freeze, as he seed to have noticed sothing wrong from before. As he questioned his feeling, Ye Tian looked up but saw nothing, walked forward a bit more, and then saw the sign on the hotel—Hillton. Damn it, no wonder there weren’t many people who dared to stand on these steps – looking down the street, it was packed with people, but only a few dared to go up the steps.
Afraid of causing trouble, Ye Tian walked back and said, “Let’s go sowhere else. This isn’t a good place.” Ye Tian casually picked up a child, turned around, and then saw a waitstaff walk out from inside, looking unpleasant.
Seeing that donkey-faced kid, Ye Tian got angry. Sure enough, the waiter was heading for him and must be so sort of supervisor, otherwise, he wouldn’t be dressed differently from the other young waitstaff.
“Sir, if you have no business here, please leave.” While saying this, Ye Tian also saw him glaring fiercely at the two little waiters at the entrance, obviously blaming them for not watching the door properly.
Ye Tian was planning to leave, but seeing the kid’s arrogant behavior, he decisively set the child back down.
Turning his head, when he saw Ye Tian putting down the child, it seed he wasn’t planning to leave anymore.
“Sir, if you have no business here, please leave.”
“But I do have business, who told I don’t? Do you think I’m standing here just to enjoy the simple view of the landscape? Huh?”
Quite temperantal.
A flicker of contempt passed through the waiter’s eyes. The idiom ‘fierce in appearance but faint-hearted’ isn’t only prevalent in Huaxia.
Today, Ye Tian’s attire wasn’t eye-catching, just simple light-colored casual cotton clothes with a military green rucksack—completely dressed as a backpacker. To put it nicely, he’s a hiker; to put it unpleasantly, just a pleb who stays in youth hostels.
He finally understood why so many people would rather be trampled and jostled in the crowd than step onto the steps: it all cos down to the arrogance and bullying of the hotel’s staff.
“Sir, if you are staying at the hotel, I can process your check-in for you, if…”
“What if I just stand here?”
“Then please leave early. We don’t have a tradition of making guests wait at the door. Otherwise, others might mistakenly think our hotel’s hospitality is inadequate, which would affect both your rest and our business, wouldn’t it?”
“Your business being affected is the main point though, right?”
The waiter didn’t speak, but his eyes, filled with scorn, continued to stare at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian got angry, “As a world-renowned hotel, you just watch as these people are pressed and trampled in the crowd—is your philosophy of treating guests like they’re returning ho just a show-off? Or did your boss invent such a lousy na just for his book? Not wanting to be a good person, you pretend to be like Confucius, no one puts on airs like you do, pretending to be sothing it’s not. Who are you trying to impress!”
Ye Tian couldn’t find the appropriate words in English, once again proving the breadth and depth of the Huaxian language.
It didn’t matter if he couldn’t understand; the point was to feel relieved.
Having said his piece, Ye Tian suddenly felt extrely refreshed. To curse without the other person understanding what it’s about!
The waiter’s little white face turned bright red with anger. He clearly had no idea what Ye Tian had said, but wasn’t he stupid? Anyone could tell from his bitch face that it wasn’t anything good!
Struggling to steady his shaking body, the waiter said, “Sir, we’re just conducting business, not a charity. If one person cos in, there will be a second, and with the third… There are so many pedestrians on the street, anything could happen. And, this situation wasn’t caused by us; do you think it’s appropriate to hold us responsible? Moreover, these problems are right before your eyes now, what can you do? How can you have a reason to bla others for sothing you yourself can’t deal with?”
The waiter’s barrage of questions gradually turned the tide, making his point quite reasonable.
“If you don’t have money, don’t talk nonsense here. Saying I’m pretending to be good, aren’t you as well? If you’re capable, provide room for all these people, one presidential suite per person. Worried there’s no place for them to go? What, no more words? If you’re silent you shouldn’t stay here,” the waiter glanced at the children before continuing, “and these kids, take them away quickly, you might not find them dirty but I do. Kid, what are you looking at, if your parents didn’t teach you manners don’t co out and bother others…”
The slap ca before his words could finish.
But it wasn’t Ye Tian who slapped, it was the girl leading the children.
The slap was solid; five finger marks were bright red, looking like sausages, lined up on one side of the face.
“You… you dare to slap !”
“To slap you is letting you off easy.” Ye Tian glanced at him impatiently; he had been so bold just a mont ago, how did he suddenly beco so wimpy? What Ye Tian hated the most was this kind of sissy.
“Security! Security!”
The security guards at the entrance ca over; they had seen everything. They originally thought these people would leave quietly, but didn’t expect them to slap the supervisor in the end. Although they didn’t think much of this supervisor who got the job through nepotism, if trouble arose, the managent would definitely bla the security first. Well, ti to step in.
The new supervisor was said to be a mysterious relative of the manager, flown in from the British, and was actually just a loafer proclaiming the fall of a generation. His self-assessnt was quite positive. After arriving here, he didn’t do much real work, focusing only on sightseeing. If not for the recent tense situation, who knows if he would have stayed here? No, even if he stayed, he couldn’t keep himself under control.
