Chapter 371 We can't afford to lose money!
So, the two men's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and even though they were unwilling, they had no choice but to kneel down as Shen Xiaochuan demanded.
With a "thud," the two men's pride was severely wounded, and they had no choice but to apologize.
“Young master, we were blind and looked down on you. We apologize for our rudeness and ask for your forgiveness. We promise we will never do it again.”
Shen Qianchuan chuckled and said, "That's more like it. If you had knelt down to us earlier, this matter would have been over. We're not the kind of people who hold grudges."
The two men were both in their early twenties, full of youthful vigor. They earned their wages through their own labor and were highly respected by the owner and managers at Qianzhenlou. However, the owner's father and brother suddenly arrived, especially the youngest one, who insisted that they kneel down. They felt their dignity had been trampled on and were extremely distressed.
The two men gritted their teeth and knelt on the ground, barely managing to hold back their anger and not daring to get up and fight back.
By this time, guests had started to arrive, and the waiters who had been carrying drinks and leading guests to private rooms had some free time to come in.
They were quite surprised to see their two companions kneeling on the ground.
"Ah Cai, why are you kneeling? Get up quickly, the guests have all come in, we need to hurry and greet them."
"That's right, we don't have a rule about kneeling in our restaurant, get up quickly."
Actually, the group had already guessed the gist of the matter. It was just that these poorly dressed men claimed to be the landlord's father and brothers, and were bullying people by abusing their power. But since the landlord hadn't come to acknowledge them as relatives, no one could verify whether they were or not, so they started to act arrogantly, which was truly laughable.
They pretended not to know and smoothed things over to save their two companions.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xiaochuan suddenly became relentless. He crossed his arms and walked up to the two kneeling waiters, grinning with an infuriatingly smug look on his face.
"Hey, I haven't even told them to get up yet. What are you meddling in? Have you properly greeted the guests who came in? Go do what you're supposed to do. Don't force me to be rude to you. If you really can't stand it, you can kneel down with those two!"
The men's expressions immediately changed. They realized that these men might actually be the owner's father or relatives, since some of them looked very much like the owner. So they decided it was best not to mess with them.
If the owner comes and denies their relationship, then immediately report to the authorities and send these people to the government office!
Mr. Shen glanced around the restaurant lobby. Many customers were looking back at them. Although he favored his sons born to his second wife and looked down on his eldest son, this restaurant was a money tree. If business was delayed, how would he, as the father, put money in his pocket in the future?
You can't mess with money, no matter who you're messing with!
So he cleared his throat and coughed a few times, saying, "Youngest brother, that's about it. Don't forget we came to see your eldest brother on important business. Don't stand here and delay the business."
He has the demeanor of a wise and considerate elder who cares about everyone!
The youngest son pouted, then turned and sat back down in his chair, putting on the airs of a rich young master.
Mr. Shen glanced at the two men on the ground, snorted coldly, and said, "You two, stop kneeling and go find your boss. Let him come and admit whether he is his father or not."
The two men were incredibly frustrated, but as soon as they heard they could stand up, they immediately got up, dusted themselves off, and went to find their boss.
When they arrived at the backyard and asked Aunt Xiangqin, they learned that the landlord had arranged for a servant to go and sign the deed to the house, and that the servant had left through the back door early in the morning.
With no other option, they had to go out and look for employers everywhere.
The two split up and searched several streets before finally finding the owner. After briefly explaining the situation to him, they immediately followed him back to the restaurant.
When Lin Qingchuan heard that his father and several brothers had come to his door, he felt a chill run down his spine. He had only been living a peaceful life for a few years and thought that his father and brothers had forgotten about the eldest branch of the family. He did not expect that they had not given up.
Sigh, what's meant to happen will happen, there's no escaping it!
So he sighed heavily and led his staff back to Qianzhenlou.
At this moment, Mr. Shen sat in the middle of the hall, with his second and third sons sitting on either side, occasionally showing concern for their father. The youngest son crossed his legs and looked smug. The waiter next to them suppressed his dissatisfaction and dared not speak out, respectfully pouring tea for them.
Lin Qingchuan immediately went into the restaurant and greeted them.
"Father, Second Brother, Third Brother, Xiao Chuan, why did you all suddenly come?"
Mr. Shen glared at his eldest son, his eyes wide with anger, and said, "What's wrong? Is your stuff made of gold? And I, as your father, am dressed poorly? Is that a problem?"
"Did we chip off a piece of your gold skin, or did we disrupt your business? Do we have to ask for your permission before we can come, instead of just showing up unexpectedly?"
