After saying his piece, the audacious waiter walked into the restaurant while he stood out there gritting his teeth. 'Who is he to tell me to stay away? So, what, he just has a video. My reputation is already in the trash!" grumbling he walked in again.
To his surprise, his eyes fell on a slumped back near the kitchen.
'Yunfeng...' he walked his way but something told him not right to approach him.
As he walked close, he noticed that the young man's lower lip was trembling slightly as he was clutching onto the serving trap.
'Is he... crying? Shit, it must be his arm.' He ran to him and held his shoulders. "Does it hurt? why did you come to work of you are going to cry about pain? you must take bed rest"
Yunfeng's tear-filled eyes peered up at him. "don't touch me..." he weakly pushed him away. "Just... just what do you want? cleaning charge? I'll pay it. just leave me alone." He slightly sniffed.
A sole tear slipped down.
Muchen panicked. 'Shit! Shit!' he hurriedly wiped his face with his sleeve. "You don't need to pay back ah. Insurance will cover it. you…"
The young man stepped back. "Then why are you bothering me at my workplace? I got my pay docked…. I worked so hard to earn, that money now I don't have enough money. You won't know this., but do you know how costly rice is? It's so hard to buy a single bag. I have to stay up so many nights to save that money and… you... you…" he started to sob silently.
"Wait money. You want money here," he took his wallet out, but only black cards shone brightly. He shoved a black card into his hand. "Here you have money now. Don't cry."
Seeing this guy crying made him feel like shit. He did not want to make someone's life worse. He. He just wanted to check if he was healthy. But when Yunfeng gave him attitude he went a bit far and bullied him slightly.
"it's all my fault. I'm so sorry."
Yunfeng dropped the card. "I don't need your money. Just leave." he pushed him out of the way and walked into the server's room.
the blond guy who threatened him came out of that room right at that keenly. Seeing Yunfeng sobbing, he hugged him and pulled him in.
'!!!! He hugged him! That bastard! He is taking advantage of a little boy! How dare he!' he tried to run into the changing room but the floor manager kindly stopped him.
Muchen gazed at him and then at the door. "He did not do anything wrong. don't dock his pay. I wish to give him a tip as well. Can you bring your swiping machine?" He said in a hurry.
The floor manager gazed at him doubtfully and then brought the card machine.
Muchen hurriedly swiped. "I gave him a five-hundred-dollar tip. Make sure it gets to him… and he is wounded. don't make him do heavy work."
"Sir, we treat our servers with at most respect. We will take care of the management of our restaurant," the floor manager said with a smile.
Muchen gazed at him with a frown. "I'm just saying you must not give him heavy work he..."
Another waiter ran to the floor manager and whispered something into his ear.
"Sir, I would kindly ask you to leave," he said with a smile.
Muchen shook his head. "Why? I didn't do anything,"
"Sir you are causing unrest between our employees. we do not tolerate rude customers so I would ask you to leave." the managers guided him to the door.
Muchen was once again kicked out.
he stood out there dazedly. "Did I just get kicked out?!" he was ready to storm in and demand an explanation when a loud honk distracted him.
His manager honked from his car. "Come in before you get noticed." He shouted.
Gritting his teeth, Muchen ran to the car and jumped in. He anxiously fidgeted with his phone.
"What did you do this time?"
"Huh?" Muchen dazedly gazed at him.
"I know that look. It's your 'I spilled the milk' look. What did you do this time? Come clean so that I can clean up after you," he said through his gritted teeth.
Muchen blankly looked ahead at the road and told him the entire story. "He was crying…. And that bastard hugged him. Fuck." He punched the glove box.
Shao just looked at him in shock. "What did you say? You made the kid cry?! Oh, my fucking god Muchen! Won't you ever keep your mouth shut! You bullied the kid into crying!!!"
Muchen froze. "He wasn't crying because of that... that stupid floor manager docked his pay. How can they do that to a wounded person? He was walking around with a cast for god's sake. They should have been considerate, instead, they docked his pay. What kind of a world do we live in?"
Shao's eyebrows twitched. 'it's because you brought so many soups and did not drink any…. You are the main cause buddy.' but he did not say that out loud. "Anyway, I already got all the info from the cops. Now it's time to clean up your name."
Muchen did not even listen to him. He hunched over hugging his stomach.
"Are you even listening to me?"
"mnn…." Muchen groaned.
"You just need to put on a pitiful face and show it to the media. We have all the proof that points to your aunt. even if we can't convict her, we can definitely bring down their company's stock. It's the best outcome. When they are down, they are bound to make mistakes. We will definitely catch it.' he gazed at him.
Muchen was still hunched over.
"Are you okay?"
Muchen groaned loudly this time. "Hurts… it hurts."
"Huh?"
"My stomach hurts!"
The manager laughed out loud. "Instant karma? Oh my god, this is hilarious. Who knows that kid must have spat in your soup. that's why you don't cross your waiter ha-ha,"
"Shut up…. it hurts too much," his face was pale.
"Shit you're pale as a ghost..." he placed a hand over his forehead. It was burning up. "fuck you're sick." He hurriedly drove to the nearby hospital.
