Just now, while the two were arguing, Xiao Yi had already informed Fang Jueyu that this Bartolo Spanish Art Restaurant was part of the Spanish Bartolo Chain Catering Group, which Fang Jueyu controlled 92% of the shares.
As for the remaining 8% of the shares, it wasn't that they couldn't be acquired, but rather, the group had rewarded this portion to individuals who had made significant contributions to the group. Even if he wanted 100% ownership, privatizing the entire group would be an easy task for Fang Jueyu.
The Bartolo Spanish Art Restaurant was a relatively flagship part of this group; all the storefronts were directly surveyed and selected for location by the headquarters, and all the staff members were merely involved in management and service.
Therefore, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that everything from this particular storefront to the entire Bartolo Chain Catering Group belonged to him alone!
The management right of that part of the Bartolo Chain Catering Group was entrusted to the Zhuang Family, so a call from Zhuang Ying nearly scared the headquarters to death—it was an honor for the owner to dine at one of his own restaurants, how could there possibly be no seats?
"You're the owner of this restaurant?" Wang Xuan laughed, "Nowadays, the legal representatives in the catering industry are required to display all certifications prominently in the lobby, but the name on the business license is someone named Xu Gaowei, 'When did you change your surname to Xu? Aren't you a Fang? Oh, I mean the 'fang' with the grass radical!"
Wang Xuan's words were a double entendre, blatantly mocking that Fang Jueyu had been cuckolded, linking seamlessly; any normal person would realize that these two must have known each other for quite some time.
It was the first time Fang Jueyu's gaze revealed a menacing aura; it was a shame that this was a society governed by law, otherwise, he would certainly rush up and give Wang Xuan a severe beating. However, for some people, certain things can be more painful than getting beaten.
"You don't believe me?" Fang Jueyu smiled, "Manager Bai, do me a favor and kick these two out! From now on, these two are never allowed to enter this restaurant again!"
"Yes," Manager Bai remembered very clearly, just now Manager Xu had ordered her to fulfill all of Fang Jueyu's requests, "Security, get these troublemakers out of here!"
"This... Wang Xuan, what should we do?" Jiang Yuan suddenly panicked; if the two of them were thrown out like this, they might become a joke at school. After all, many people around this school knew Wang Xuan, and with a little investigation, her identity as Jiang Yuan would naturally be widely known.
"You still want to do business?" Wang Xuan appeared unfazed, "This is the first time I've heard of someone wanting to drive customers out. Aren't you afraid of damaging your future reputation?"
"Manager Bai, we've already gone to retrieve the surveillance footage," a waiter whispered to Manager Bai, "The altercation did indeed start with the gentleman who brought his girlfriend, and he was also the first to act."
"Good, that makes it easy!" Manager Bai smiled gently, as long as they were in the right, there was nothing to fear.
"We naturally welcome normal consumers, but we have zero tolerance for troublemakers," Manager Bai said, "We've already gathered the surveillance footage. We have evidence that you provoked verbally first, and the gentleman also acted first. If you have any complaints, you can report to the business administration!"
"You!" Wang Xuan knew he was at a disadvantage; even if he caused trouble for others, as long as this clip was shown, no one could fault anything about it.
Although Wang Xuan was a second-generation rich, his father was just a shareholder of Daogu Ticketing, so his name might not be recognized by many, creating a feeling of being powerless at this moment.
"How about it, are you angry?" Fang Jueyu suddenly sported a playful smirk, "I know you're rich, but what can you do? This store is mine, if you really can, why don't you buy this restaurant then?"
Wang Xuan looked at Fang Jueyu, who seemed to be asking for a beating, and nearly couldn't resist hitting him again. However, considering his monstrous strength and the two vigilant security guards, he had to forcefully hold himself back.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you. Not only is this restaurant mine, but the entire Bartolo chain is also mine. If you want to buy this place, you'd have to buy the whole group first."
Wang Xuan's face turned from blue to purple. He wasn't quite sure of the market value of the entire Bartolo chain. It might not compare to globally renowned groups like Michelin, but a publicly listed group in both the ticketing and dining sectors was definitely incomparable.
"Manager Bai, I'll leave it to you!" Fang Jueyu gestured and followed a waiter towards the reserved VIP seating in the restaurant.
"Would you two like to leave on your own, or should I have the security escort you out?" Even when kicking them out, Manager Bai still maintained a smile. It seemed there was a reason why Bartolo chain had grown so big.
"Look, this guy thinks he can bully people just because he has some money. He's met his match this time, hasn't he? If it were me, I'd find a hole to crawl into!"
"Right? It looked like he stole someone's girlfriend."
"Psh, if you ask me, that woman is just a gold digger. I heard it just now; the poor girl thought the young man was broke. Now she's really embarrassed."
"Hahaha, serves her right!"
"Hmph, we can leave on our own!" The surrounding criticisms made them even more embarrassed, and staying any longer would only make things more awkward. Wang Xuan stormed out, leaving Jiang Yuan behind.
"Wang Xuan, wait for me!" Jiang Yuan picked up her purse and hurried after him.
"What's going on? Didn't you tell me that Fang Jueyu was just a poor kid from an ordinary family?" Wang Xuan, full of anger and not knowing where to vent, took it all out on Jiang Yuan.
"I didn't know either," Jiang Yuan replied pitifully, "When he was with me, he could only afford gifts by doing part-time jobs outside. I never knew his family was that rich."
"Humph! It's not that simple!" Wang Xuan hadn't suffered such a big loss before, "Rich, huh? I want to see just how capable you are!"
"Wang Xuan, what are you going to do? Don't do anything rash!"
"What, you still care about him?" Wang Xuan roared furiously.
"No, not at all, we broke up a long time ago, how could I possibly!" Jiang Yuan wasn't worried about what Wang Xuan would do to Fang Jueyu; she knew Wang Xuan was too competitive. She was just worried that if Wang Xuan went too far, it might backfire on her.
"Don't worry, I know my limits; I just want to teach him a lesson..."
