chapter 48 Rich man gets slapped in the face

"Dinah Yang, this is my husband, Ariel Gu, the CEO of NC Express." "Mr. Gu is indeed young and successful," Dinah Yang complimented smoothly. "Ms. Yang, you are truly elegant and beautiful," Ariel Gu complimented in return. Watching Stanley Du hold the knife in his left hand to cut the steak and use the fork in his right hand to eat, Layna Bai giggled, "Sir, do you know how to eat Western food? You should hold the knife in your right hand and the fork in your left. That's the basic etiquette for eating Western food." "Humph, not even knowing the basic etiquette of eating Western food, and you dare to come here, it's embarrassing," Ariel Gu said disdainfully. Stanley Du's expression darkened. He came here with Dinah Yang to enjoy the food and the view, and they were in a good mood. But then, these two annoying people came buzzing around like flies, making a racket. It was annoying! "Westerners eating food, what's the big deal about etiquette." Stanley Du scornfully said, "I'll use this knife and fork however I want!" "You're so rude. Dinah Yang, what is he to you? Eating Western food with someone who doesn't understand its etiquette, don't you find it embarrassing?" Layna Bai nagged. "Stanley Du is my fiancé. If you feel embarrassed standing with us, please keep as far away from me and Stanley Du as possible." "Dinah Yang, do you think you're still that goddess in university chased by countless men?" Layna Bai sneered, "We've graduated for several years. What are you acting high and mighty for? Are you doing well? How are you better than me in any way?" "Please leave, I don't want to talk to you." "Hehe, you want me to leave, but I won't. What can you do about it?" Layna Bai bragged proudly, "My husband is an overseas returnee, and his parents have a fortune of over a billion. His NC Express is worth five hundred million. And your fiancé, not even knowing basic Western dining etiquette, is just a poor guy. He's nowhere close to my husband!" "Stanley Du, if they don't leave, we will." Dinah Yang tried to pull Stanley Du away, but couldn't. "Dinah Yang, avoiding a mad dog is not a good strategy. If you dodge, the dog thinks you're afraid of it. Then it'll keep chasing and barking at you." "Scoundrel, you dare call my wife a mad dog!" Ariel Gu raised his hand to slap Stanley Du's face! Stanley Du was quicker, grabbing Ariel Gu's wrist and squeezing tightly. Ariel Gu immediately whimpered in pain, "Ouch, ouch, it hurts, let go!" Just then, Manager Wang of the French restaurant came running over, "What's going on... ah, Mr. Gu, how did you start fighting with this gentleman?" Stanley Du let go of Ariel Gu and said to Manager Wang, "My fiancée and I were here enjoying our meal. These two, a male and a female mad dog, came uninvited, barking non-stop at us. I scolded the female dog a bit, and the male dog wanted to bite me, so I had to defend myself." "Hahaha!" "Pfft." The nearby diners laughed at Stanley Du's sarcastic and humorous remarks. "You... you're the mad dog!" Ariel Gu was furiously grinding his teeth. "Sir, everyone dining here is civilized. Please watch your language." "Why didn't you show up when they were making fun of me?" Stanley Du mocked Manager Wang, "And this guy, after suffering a bit, you appeared immediately." Manager Wang felt guilty. Ariel Gu was a valued customer of the French restaurant, spending at least five to six hundred thousand yuan a year here. Stanley Du and Dinah Yang were new customers, unfamiliar to the place. Now that Ariel Gu and Stanley Du were in a dispute, Manager Wang naturally sided with Ariel Gu. "Sir, Mr. Gu is very rich, and his parents are even richer. You should apologize to Mr. Gu." "It should be him apologizing to me, right?" "Since you won't listen to reason, then you should leave this place." "I've paid for my meal and haven't finished it yet. What right do you have to kick me out?" Stanley Du asked Manager Wang with a cold, mocking smile. Manager Wang didn't waste any words and quickly signaled a waiter with his eyes. The waiter promptly brought over two security guards. "Haha, hurry up and kick him out," Ariel Gu said, hands on his hips, shouting loudly. Layna Bai was secretly pleased too. If Stanley Du got kicked out by the security guards, Dinah Yang would lose face and have to leave in disgrace. "You guys are really something. Who's the owner of this Galaxy Hotel? I'd like to meet him," Stanley Du said calmly. "Humph, Kama Yao, our boss, is not someone you can just meet whenever you want." Before Manager Wang could respond, Ariel Gu interjected, "Do you even know who Kama Yao's husband is?" "So, the owner of Galaxy Hotel is Ms. Kama. Her husband is Keith Xu, her son is Jimmy Xu, and her daughter-in-law is Leona Ding. I'm quite familiar with all four of them." Stanley Du put pressure directly on Manager Wang. He ignored Ariel Gu completely. Manager Wang panicked. Ariel Gu and Layna Bai were stunned. After being dumbstruck for seven or eight seconds, Layna Bai suddenly exclaimed, "You must be bluffing, right? How can a poor guy like you know Ms. Kama's entire family?" "If you don't believe me, you can call Ms. Kama. Just tell her that Stanley Du and Dinah Yang are eating French cuisine in her restaurant. Then you'll know what you should do," Stanley Du told Manager Wang. There was no swearing, no shouting. Stanley Du spoke with civilized words and a very calm and composed tone. But the calmer Stanley Du was, the more nervous Manager Wang became. Finally, Manager Wang stepped back from Stanley Du, took out his phone, and made a call to the big boss, Kama Yao. After the call, Manager Wang hurried to Stanley Du, bowed deeply, and sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Du, I was blind to your status. Please don't take offense at someone insignificant like me." "Hehe, no problem." "Please wait a moment. I'll get you a super membership card." "What's the use of this card?" "It's free for life." "If I bring a bunch of people and book this entire French restaurant, is it also free?" "Yes, it is. Not just this French restaurant, if you book the entire Galaxy Hotel with people, we won't charge you a penny." "Hehe, Ms. Yao is too kind to me. You go ahead and do your work." Three minutes later, Manager Wang handed a super membership card to Stanley Du. Seeing this super membership card, Ariel Gu's face changed instantly. He had a Galaxy Hotel's premium membership card. With the premium card, he could buy limited high-end dishes in the restaurant first and get a 10% discount. But the super membership card, as Manager Wang said, could get you free service forever. "Manager Wang, I also want to get a super membership card. What are the requirements?" Ariel Gu asked. "Sorry, Mr. Gu, you can't get one." "Why can he get a super membership card, and I can't?" Ariel Gu demanded loudly. "Mr. Du's super membership card was specially arranged for him by my boss, Ms. Yao. Without Ms. Yao's instructions, I can't issue a super membership card to anyone," Manager Wang replied firmly. Ariel Gu was greatly shocked. It seemed that Stanley Du's relationship with Kama Yao was indeed very special.
