"What do you mean? There's no way I'm going to get fired by a cleaning service like you! Hohoho. A lowly person like you can't fire me. It's like I'm at the top of the mountain while you're at the foot of the mountain. So far away," sneered the manager without seeing the changes happening around him.
"We'll see what happens because the person at the top of the mountain may fall straight down and have to crawl at the foot of the mountain and he may never get another chance to climb the mountain," Ken said.
"Hahaha. You really make me sick to my stomach laughing because you always say impossible things like about that committee. I don't know where you know about the committee but if you're saying that the committee will make sure I don't get to be a manager in European and American class restaurants or hotels all over the world, then you're wrong. Hahaha."
Ken could only laugh at the manager because Ken had already seen some big changes happening in this place, where he saw Andreas approaching with an old man who Ken suspected was the owner of this restaurant.
While the manager was still bragging about himself and his prowess as the manager of an international restaurant, there was a sudden shout from behind. "Agus, no more talking!"
Hearing that voice, the manager, whose name turned out to be Agus, immediately turned his body around and stumbled towards the person who shouted at him. The person who shouted was with Andreas.
"Sorry, Mr. Rudolf. I didn't know you were coming." Agus lowered his head.
"I got a report that you acted arrogantly and supposedly kicked out a guest. That's not acceptable in this restaurant, you know!" Said the middle-aged man named Rudolf.
"A report from whom, sir?"
"I'm very disappointed in you, Agus!"
Agus looked at Rudolph. "But these are the orders of your own son Mr. Rudolph. He asked me to evict a guest in this restaurant."
Rudolf looked furious. "That boy is back in trouble. All he does is wander around incoherently spending my money, now he has the nerve to kick out my guest until I get a warning from the Diamond Group. Huh!"
"Got a warning? Why is that, sir? Isn't the Diamond Group the company that made the biggest investment in this restaurant and shouldn't be in charge of such matters, right?" asked Agus.
"Yes and I was applying for a new loan with the Diamond Group in Hong Kong but they are very disappointed with what is happening right now, because they are very concerned about the good manners of the company under their and Mr. Rudolph's patronage," Rudolph pointed at Andreas. " Rudolph pointed at Andreas, "is a representative of the Diamond group who saw an abuse going on in this restaurant."
Hearing Rudolf's words, Agus immediately bowed and apologized to Andreas, "We're sorry sir, we didn't know you were from the Diamond group."
"I don't like your rude treatment of guests in this restaurant. I happened to be sitting at the back,
so I saw what happened here and I have reported you to the supervisory committee for restaurant and hotel managers not to accept you in all European and American class restaurants and hotels," said Andreas.
Agus' face turned pale at Andreas' words. He was reminded of Ken's words earlier, so Agus glanced at Ken.
However, Agus still didn't believe that Ken was behind all this. "Agus was just surprised because the committee had just been mentioned by Ken and now Andreas, the representative of Diamond Group, was mentioning the same thing.
"So what does that mean, sir? Is it that after I leave this restaurant I can't move to any hotel or restaurant under the committee's supervision, is that it?" Agus asked to make sure.
"Not if it's because from this moment you have been expelled from this restaurant, Agus. So, since the committee has received a report from me about you, then you don't need to bother applying to other hotels and restaurants under the supervision of the committee because you will definitely be rejected," said Andreas without any pity because Andreas felt angry with Agus' treatment of Ken earlier.
Agus still couldn't believe that he was fired so he immediately looked at Rudolf. "Sir, that's not true, right? I wasn't fired, right? I was just following orders from your son, Mr. Rudolf."
"The decision has been made, you know yourself that my restaurant had financial problems, therefore, it is still under the supervision of the Diamond Group because my debts are all to the Diamond Group. So, Diamond Group can do anything in this restaurant including firing the manager," Rudolf said.
"But this is not fair. I'm just following orders," Agus told Andreas.
"It's not necessary to carry out orders in an arrogant fashion like you. Like the waiter, he can still be forgiven because he is not arrogant but you cannot be forgiven and you don't worry, Mr. Rudolf's son will also receive his punishment," said Andreas.
"What punishment, sir?" Agus asked Andreas.
"Because of his mistake, the new debt request from this restaurant is immediately rejected by the Diamond Group and even the old debt will not get any relief. The old debt will be treated the same as before getting a waiver, i.e. the debt must be paid off immediately by the end of this year, otherwise this restaurant will be immediately confiscated by the Diamond Group!" said Andreas?
Rudolf's face immediately turned pale. He picked up the phone and immediately pressed the loudspeaker on his cell phone and after hearing a young man's voice on the other end of the line, Rudolf immediately swore at the young man.
It turned out that the young man was Rudolf's son who was friends with Ardi. Rudolf immediately cursed his son and immediately deleted all the facilities that his son had so that his son cried on the other end of the phone.
After that, Andreas called a waiter. As soon as the waiter arrived, Andreas said, "From now on, you are the new manager of this restaurant. Immediately take out all the food and drinks ordered by the guests at that table." Andreas pointed at the table occupied by Ken and Lidya.
The newly promoted manager looked at Rudolf's face, as if asking for approval.
Rudolf nodded his head and quickly ordered the newly promoted waiter to remove the food and drinks ordered by Lydia.
The new manager headed straight for the kitchen.
Andreas said to Agus. "Go get your things. Your last paycheck will be sent to your account if you have any debts, then it will be taken into account. You will get 3 months' severance pay for your capital to learn other skills because you will not be accepted in any restaurant or hotel under the supervision of the committee," Andreas told Agus.
Seeing this unexpected situation, Agus began to cry and tried to approach Ken and apologize to Lidya as well.
But Andreas, who was still angry with Agus, immediately pulled Agus to be taken to the inside of the restaurant.
Rudolf also followed Andreas into the restaurant after nodding at Ken.
"I didn't expect it to turn out like this," Lidya said, shaking her head.
"It happened because of you."
"Because of me?" asked Lidya in shock.
