Chapter 90 I'll take this money.
"Is an apology all it takes? Is this how your restaurant treats its customers? I think you're really taking advantage of your size."
Zhang Dong quickly put on a smiling face and continued to say nice things: "Honorable guest, it's not that we're arrogant because we're big, it's just that we made a mistake in our work."
"I'm sorry, we will waive the meal fee for your table."
But at this moment, a long-faced man who was eating at the same table as the fat man snorted angrily: "Just waiving our meal fees is far from enough for me."
Zhang Dong smiled ingratiatingly and continued to ask the other party, "What are your conditions? Feel free to mention them, and we will try our best to meet them if we can."
The long-faced man snorted coldly: "You should also pay for the psychological damages and health expenses."
"After finding a fly in my food, I'm traumatized and feel extremely disgusted. I need to go to the hospital for a check-up."
The fat man next to him also sneered: "That's right, the hygiene of your restaurant is terrible! Flies have even flown into the customers' food."
"We only realized this when we were almost full. I feel like throwing up everything I just ate. Can you believe how disgusting that is..."
With things having come to this point, Zhang Dong was also filled with helplessness. He could only smile and continue to say nice things: "Brother, there are six or seven of you who have ordered a whole table of dishes. I will waive your bill for today's dishes and give you 1000 yuan as compensation. This is our restaurant's sincerity."
"What, 1000 yuan?" A scarred man next to him sneered, "You think we're short of your 1000 yuan? Kid, 3000 yuan, not a penny less, and this isn't over."
"What, you want 3000 yuan? Why don't you just rob someone?"
Dong Qichang, standing nearby, was filled with anger.
The other diners in the restaurant were also very surprised.
"What? That's outrageous! 3000 yuan? Why doesn't he want 3?"
Hearing the surrounding chatter, the fat man's triangular eyes immediately widened.
"Shut the fuck up! Whose pants are undone and exposed? If you keep spouting nonsense, do you believe I'll bleed you out?"
As he spoke angrily, the man pulled out a dagger from his body with a whoosh.
He gritted his teeth and glared at the diners who had just spoken.
This frightened the surrounding diners so much that they dared not say another word.
When Zhang Dong saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat.
He thought to himself, "This fat man and his friends are obviously no good. If they were good people, why would they carry a knife around all the time, especially since this guy is carrying a military dagger?"
With this thought in mind, Zhang Dong looked at Dong Qichang standing to the side.
"Brother, has anything like this ever happened at our restaurant before?"
Dong Qichang shook his head angrily: "Brother, this has never happened in our shop before. After all, the reason why my restaurant is so popular is that the food tastes good and I am very strict about hygiene."
"Other restaurants don't have two screen windows and doors, only our restaurant does."
Zhang Dong was asking Dong Qichang what he meant by determining whether this situation had occurred before. If it had never happened before, but it happened today, and at the same table as the fat man, then the matter would be very strange.
Zhang Dong had just realized that these people were street thugs, or rather, old thugs.
But when Zhang Dong asked the question, the fat man's attitude changed instantly.
"Kid, what do you mean? Do you suspect that we brought this fly ourselves to cheat you out of your meal money?"
Zhang Dong did indeed have this thought in his mind, after all, the matter was too strange.
After all, the previous restaurant owner paid great attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the food, and this situation had never occurred before.
But this accident happened so soon after I started running the restaurant as a partner with the restaurant owner.
Zhang Dong's idea might be that those guys who had previously set their sights on this restaurant realized that after he and Dong Qichang started operating it together, they felt it was impossible to take it away anymore, so they came up with this underhanded trick.
If this situation occurs again, we'll have to think about it carefully.
But that's a story for another time.
The most important thing right now is to resolve this matter as much as possible and minimize its impact.
Thinking this to himself, he heard Dong Qichang say angrily, "Appropriate compensation is acceptable, but you're asking for 3000 yuan right off the bat. That's outrageous. We cannot agree to that."
"What? You actually won't agree? You've got guts, kid."
"We found a fly in our food at your restaurant, and you're not even going to compensate us? Do you really think we brothers are made of mud?"
The fat man's face was gloomy as he gritted his teeth and gave orders to his other brothers.
"Since they refuse to pay compensation, brothers, what should we do? Should we just swallow our anger and bear this humiliation?"
The tall guy next to him suddenly stood up and slammed his hand on the table.
"Screw it! Since you won't pay me back, believe me, I'll smash up your restaurant right now! Then I'll go to the health and quarantine department and report your restaurant for failing to meet hygiene standards."
"You, you guys..." Dong Qichang was startled when he heard that these thugs were going to smash up the restaurant.
But then Zhang Dong suddenly spoke up: "Don't make a fuss. Since you've asked for 3000 yuan in compensation, I'll give it to you."
"What, you're giving it to me?"
Upon hearing Zhang Dong's words, not only the fat man but also his cronies who were eating at the same table showed a hint of joy on their faces.
The fat man suppressed his excitement and snorted coldly.
"You won't budge if you hold on, and you'll back down if you push. Just agree to give it to us already, or you'll provoke my brothers to go berserk. Enough talk, just hand over the money."
Seeing that the other party was urging him, Zhang Dong took out 3000 yuan and put it on the table.
"Everyone, we're so sorry. This is our fault. Here's 3000 yuan."
"Hmm, this young man is quite straightforward. Alright, then I'll accept it all without hesitation, hahaha—"
As he spoke, the fat man grinned and laughed triumphantly.
After taking the money, the fat man, beaming with pride, led his men away.
Only then did the other diners dare to speak.
"Boss, these people are just a bunch of scoundrels. That fly just now was very suspicious."
"Everyone knows that your restaurant places the utmost importance on the cleanliness and quality of your food."
"As a loyal customer of your restaurant for so many years, I know of no time when you have ever had such a strange incident."
