Chapter 255

After Zhao Tiancai bent down, Li Fulong whispered his method in Zhao Tiancai’s ear.

　　 After listening, Zhao Tiancai, who had a somewhat lewd smile, immediately nodded.

　　 “Wait for my good news!”

　　 After saying that, Zhao Tiancai walked out.

　　 Five minutes later, Zhao Tiancai and the bartender walked into the private room together.

　　 After mixing a bottle of liquor with one-third of the original amount, the waiter left.

　　 After pouring three glasses, Zhao Tiancai said, “Let’s have a drink!”

　　 Because He Yijuan raised her glass, Bai Jing had no choice but to pick up a glass as well.

　　 After clinking glasses, Zhao Tian gulped down his drink, while He Yijuan and Bai Jing each took a small sip.

　　 “This really doesn’t taste like alcohol,” Zhao Tiancai said after clicking his tongue. “I usually drink pure baijiu or foreign liquor. This foreign liquor with green tea mixed in tastes like a beverage. Why don’t you drink the diluted version, and I’ll drink the remaining half bottle of undiluted foreign liquor? If this pot isn’t enough for the two of you later, I’ll go and order another bottle.”

　　 “It’s enough to drink,” He Yijuan said with a smile. “I don’t usually drink alcohol, so I can just have a little bit.”

　　 Hearing this, Bai Jing chimed in, “This pot is enough for me and Sister Juan to drink.”

　　 “If we don’t have enough to drink later, we can order more. Anyway, the three of us are going to have a great time tonight!”

　　 “I mainly came here to sing,” said He Yijuan, who was eager to try it out. “It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a karaoke bar.”

　　 “Then hurry up and select a song! I’m waiting to see Sister Juan recreate her days as the karaoke queen!”

　　 Because of Zhao Tiancai’s words, He Yijuan, who had been itching to try it out, went to request a song.

　　 As for Bai Jing, she took her phone out of her bag.

　　 Bai Jing opened the WeChat chat window with her husband, wanting to chat with him for a few minutes.

　　 For example, you could tell your husband you’re at a karaoke bar and that you’ll call him to pick you up if you get drunk.

　　 But because her husband hates her coming to such places, she is worried that he will just tell her to go home.

　　 Considering this situation, Bai Jing gave up the idea of ​​chatting with her husband on WeChat.

　　 Because she and her husband are in a cold war and living apart, Bai Jing’s mood has been quite bad these past two days.

　　 After reuniting with He Yijuan, Bai Jing felt a little better.

　　 But because she wanted to chat with her husband on WeChat, Bai Jing’s mood plummeted again.

　　 If she were at home, and it were just her and He Yijuan, she might have drunk heavily without any restraint.

　　 Once she’s drunk, at least she can temporarily forget her troubles.

　　 After giving a wry smile, Bai Jing took a sip of the foreign liquor that did indeed taste somewhat like a beverage.

　　 At the same time, Hanji Hot Pot Restaurant.

　　 Xu Yina and Bai Qin both knew that Lao Qian wouldn’t be coming over after tonight, so they were both in a good mood.

　　 Of course, to prevent any accidents from happening, Xu Yina, as the supervisor, would still go to the back kitchen from time to time.

　　 Half an hour later, a customer went to the toilet because of a stomachache.

　　 Of course, this matter did not attract Xu Yina’s attention.

　　 Just over ten minutes later, when another customer went to the restroom because of stomach pain, Xu Yina became somewhat uneasy.

　　 Just as Xu Yina was about to call Han An, she saw another customer running towards the restroom.

　　 After noticing that there was more than one, Xu Yina realized that there might be a problem with the hot pot base.

　　 Because these customers didn’t come from the same table!

　　 If there really is a problem with the hot pot broth, then the person responsible is naturally Old Qian, the head chef!

　　 Thinking of this, Xu Yina quickly called Han An.

　　 After the call went through, Xu Yina, who had walked to a corner, whispered, “Boss, I have a feeling something’s wrong. Several customers have had stomach upsets in a short period of time. I suspect that Lao Qian tampered with the hot pot broth because you’re going to fire him, but I don’t dare tell everyone not to eat it. If my guess is wrong, my actions will only make everyone uneasy, which will affect Han Ji’s reputation.”

　　 “I’m coming right now!”

　　 “Where are you?”

　　 “I’m at the hotel!”

　　 “Um!”

　　 “Report to me immediately if anything happens!”

　　 “OK.”

　　 After hanging up, Xu Yina noticed that several customers were gathered at the cashier.

　　 Seeing this, Xu Yina quickly walked over.

　　 “Is there something wrong with your hot pot? My wife and son both got stomach aches after eating it.”

　　 “Yes! My husband also has an upset stomach!”

　　 “Isn’t it very unhygienic? Didn’t you say that the hot pot here is very hygienic?”

　　 …

　　 Bai Qin had no idea how to answer the customer’s questions.

　　 She shared the same thought as Xu Yina, believing that Lao Qian had tampered with the hot pot broth.

　　 Because they shared the same idea, Bai Qin didn’t dare to ask everyone to stop eating without her permission.

　　 But if we don’t do this, won’t more customers get stomach aches?

　　 Seeing Xu Yina approach, Bai Qin breathed a slight sigh of relief.

　　 “I’m sorry,” Xu Yina said, “I’m the supervisor here. Please tell me if you need anything.”

　　 Because of Xu Yina’s words, several customers repeated their previous complaints.

　　 Noticing that more customers were heading towards the restrooms, Xu Yina immediately went to the center of the lobby.

　　 Although I don’t want to do anything that would damage Hanji’s reputation, continuing to remain silent will only cause more customers to have stomach problems.

　　 Of course, having an upset stomach isn’t the most important thing.

　　 Most importantly, she was afraid that her customers’ lives would be in danger!

　　 After clenching her trembling fists, Xu Yina said loudly, “There’s a problem with our hot pot broth today; we can’t rule out the possibility of it being artificially spiked. So I suggest that any customers who feel unwell go to a nearby clinic or hospital for a check-up as soon as possible. Hanji will reimburse all the costs incurred for the check-up.”

　　 Xu Yina’s words startled the customers who were eating hot pot.

　　 In addition, many people had gone to the toilet because of stomach upset, so the scene suddenly became chaotic.

　　 Besides people criticizing Hanji, many others walked directly towards the main entrance.

　　 Even worse, some people took their anger out on Xu Yina.

　　 Suddenly, a woman walked up to Xu Yina and slapped her across the face.

　　 The woman didn’t know that Xu Yina was the supervisor; she thought Xu Yina was the boss’s wife!

　　 Because she didn’t want a conflict to break out, Xu Yina, who was covering her face, chose to face it with a smile.

　　 In less than ten minutes, all the customers left Han Ji.

　　 Because she does not plan to continue operating for the time being, Baiqin has also put up a sign indicating that the business is temporarily closed.

　　 Bai Qin walked up to Xu Yina and said, “Sister Yina, Han Ji’s reputation has been damaged.”

　　 “Let’s go settle the score with Old Qian! That bastard!”

　　 “Um!”

　　 When the two of them arrived at the back kitchen, Old Lin was sitting in a chair smoking.

　　 Seeing this, Xu Yina angrily questioned, “Don’t you know that smoking is not allowed in the back kitchen?”

　　 “Since you’ve already chased all the customers away, and I have nothing else to do, what else am I supposed to do but smoke?”

　　 “Did you put drugs in the hot pot broth?”

　　 Because of Xu Yina’s words, all the employees in the back kitchen looked over.
