119: Chapter 120 Extorting Luxury Cars
[Ding! Detected that the Host cherishes food; awarding 60% of the shares in all global Michelin Restaurants.]
The system's reward was delivered quite satisfactorily.
With these shares, once Ai Mi loses his job at Restaurant, he will be blacklisted by the entire catering industry.
He will lose any chance of employment at high-end Restaurants.
"It's inedible, yet you still ate it and even sent it to the dining table. What are your intentions?"
"I was just blinded by greed. I'm sorry, sir. I won't do it again. I'm willing to accept any punishment; please forgive me."
"Selling problematic food in China is a serious crime. Rest assured, I won't sign any settlement agreement; I will certainly see to it that you get what you deserve."
CEO Hai wanted to sue him, and An Xin wanted to sue him as well.
This left Ai Mi feeling utterly desperate; his life was completely over.
Despair caused him to abandon his pride; he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to An Xin to apologize.
An Xin found him an eyesore and refused to accept his kowtowing apology at all.
"Is security here? Please take this black-hearted chef away. I don't want to see him."
"We are here, sir. We will take him to the security room immediately. Rest assured, before the police arrive, we will keep a close watch on him and won't give him a chance to escape. The staff at Restaurant have already called the police, and they are on their way."
Ai Mi was taken away by security.
The dining cart was also pushed away, and silence returned to the private room.
With the eyesore gone, An Xin handed Zhang Xiaohua a set of tableware, and the two of them began to eat leisurely in the private room.
An Xin's meal was on the house. After finishing, he left the Restaurant without seeing Meng Yaning.
An Xin thought Meng Yaning had been fired by Restaurant, so he didn't expect to see her when he went to the underground garage to get his car.
Meng Yaning was wearing a professional suit, her long legs wrapped in black stockings kneeling on the cold concrete floor, crying directly in front of An Xin's porsche Cayenne.
This bizarre scene gave An Xin a bad premonition.
An Xin didn't rush to open the car door; his impatient gaze fell upon Meng Yaning.
"What are you doing here?"
"Get lost, you country bumpkin! You have no right to interfere in my business."
An Xin looked like a Pretty Boy, and Meng Yaning didn't want to get entangled with him.
If the owner of this luxury car were to misunderstand her relationship with An Xin, it would hinder her plans to sell herself to pay off her debts.
Meng Yaning was truly desperate to become a wealthy man's wife.
An Xin shifted his gaze away from Meng Yaning and swept his cold eyes over his car.
An Xin's gaze finally settled on the scratches on the hood.
"Did you scratch this car?"
This porsche of An Xin's was a custom model.
The repair cost for this minor scratch would be enough for a down payment on a house.
"You're not going to help me pay, so get lost, you poor loser! Don't get in the way of me apologizing to the owner."
Meng Yaning's tone was sharp, her pitiful expression completely vanished, and her frowning face was repulsive.
An Xin took the car keys out of his pocket.
"I am the owner. I don't need your apology; just pay for the damages."
The porsche Cayenne's lights flickered on, and the driver's side door opened automatically.
Meng Yaning was so shocked by this scene that her legs gave out, and she accidentally kowtowed to An Xin.
"Don't. I don't like these flashy ceremonies; I just like my car. Pay up. Don't think about anything else; there's no other way out. And don't think about selling yourself to pay off the debt—Auntie, you're too old. Even my dad wouldn't go for your type."
"I didn't damage this car! I was just passing by."
This was a porsche Cayenne 1187, a globally limited edition luxury car. How could she, a mere Waiter, possibly afford to pay for it?
Meng Yaning wanted to shirk responsibility and run away.
Zhang Xiaohua pressed down on Meng Yaning's shoulder.
"You damaged my brother's car and want to run? Are you dreaming?"
"Don't frame an innocent person! I didn't damage this car; I was just crying because I twisted my ankle. If you keep treating me like this, I'll scream and say someone is molesting me!"
"Go ahead and scream! I'm a woman. Let people come and see exactly how I'm supposedly molesting you."
Zhang Xiaohua wouldn't give her a chance to escape.
Just then, the elevator to the underground parking garage opened.
The person who arrived was Qi Yueling. She held a voucher in her hand, her face slightly flushed.
"Mr. An, you forgot your voucher."
"Sorry to trouble you, Qi Yueling. Could you do me one more favor? Please have the security department check the underground parking garage's surveillance footage. My car was scratched by this woman."
Qi Yueling looked at Meng Yaning, who was slumped on the ground.
The bright and clever Qi Yueling quickly understood what had happened.
"It's no trouble at all; it's our duty. Please wait a moment. By the way, would you like me to help you call the police?"
The eager look in Qi Yueling's eyes was somewhat cute, and An Xin couldn't bear to refuse.
"Then I'll trouble you, Qi Yueling. This is a tip for you."
An Xin didn't have the habit of carrying large amounts of cash, so his tips were naturally in gold.
An Xin gave Qi Yueling a gold ingot—one he had been fiddling with in his pocket for half a month.
Since his rebirth, no matter how rich he became, An Xin still had a deep love for gold.
Holding it in his hand gave him a distinct sense of happiness.
Zhang Xiaohua took the 100-gram gold ingot, feeling flattered.
"Thank you, Mr. An."
The big boss was certainly generous.
[Detected that the Host has rewarded a working person; awarding 100 million in cash.]
Coming to this Restaurant was well worth it.
A text message popped up on An Xin's phone: 100 million had been deposited into his account at Jinghai Bank.
Looking at the extra string of zeros in his bank account, An Xin felt a sense of melancholy.
He was already trying very hard to spend money.
But the money just wouldn't run out.
Seeing the gold ingot An Xin had casually given away, Meng Yaning was insanely jealous.
The value of that single gold ingot was enough to cover the car repair costs.
An Xin wasn't short on money at all; he was just deliberately making things difficult for Meng Yaning.
Sensing this malice, Meng Yaning was furious.
She hated Qi Yueling to the core.
This new Waiter was such a headache.
If she hadn't deliberately hidden An Xin's identity, Meng Yaning wouldn't have damaged his car and offended him.
And that gold ingot wouldn't have ended up in Qi Yueling's pocket either.
Today, she hadn't just missed out on hundreds of thousands, she had also incurred a massive debt.
Meng Yaning panicked; she didn't have the money to pay An Xin.
She was still young, and she wanted to marry a capable man, just like her sister.
For the sake of her future happiness, Meng Yaning decided to go all out.
She hurriedly took out her phone and called her Brother-in-law.
Her Brother-in-law had just sent Ai Mi to prison and was still at the police station, busy with matters. When he saw Meng Yaning's call, he was instantly furious.
This sister-in-law of his was truly something—colluding with outsiders to stab him in the back and ruin his Restaurant's reputation.
He had been looking for Meng Yaning but couldn't find her; he hadn't expected this woman to contact him on her own.
"Sister-in-law, why are you calling me?"
Every time CEO Hai received a call from his sister-in-law, he never heard any good news.
"CEO Hai, I'm in the underground parking garage at Restaurant. I've encountered a staged accident by a rich person I can't afford to offend. Can you lend me some money? I need to appease them, and once I've smoothed things over, I'll call the police to get the money back."
Meng Yaning was quite the silver-tongued talker.
She could make black sound like white.
"How much do you need? I'll send it to you right now."
"500,000. That person's car is very expensive."
After asking for the amount, CEO Hai hung up the phone.
Just after hanging up, he received a call from his employee, Qi Yueling.
