Chapter 35 Reversal
When the diners saw the owner come out, their curiosity reached its peak, and they all put down their chopsticks to look over.
Seeing Lu Yuan's firm attitude, the woman paused, glanced at the child again, and raised her voice slightly:
"This big restaurant is bullying its customers! They're taking advantage of us, a widow and her child. They found hair in our food, and they still tried to hit us!"
Lu Fa, his face flushed red as he heard the woman twisting the truth, retorted:
"You're talking nonsense, we wouldn't hit you!"
"You guys just want to hit people! Waaaaaah!"
The woman held the little girl, and the two of them cried together.
In addition, the Lu family members were all tall and strong, making it look like a group of burly men in black were surrounding and bullying them.
Some new diners, seeing this scene, couldn't help but speak up and try to dissuade the customers:
"Boss, that's not right of you. Even if there's something wrong with your food, you can't make things difficult for them like this."
Mr. Wang and his deputies happened to be nearby, and they helped to cover up the situation at the exit:
"You can't say that. Look, they almost finished eating before we saw the hair. Isn't that just a coincidence?"
Another driver who frequently comes to eat these days, who does short-distance trips, also chimed in:
"Hey, a little dirt won't make you sick, and as for hair, you can just pick it out."
Lu Yuan almost cried as he listened, thinking to himself, "Thank you and your whole family."
The driver's well-intentioned explanation almost gave Lu Yuan a false case.
The woman also sensed the flaw in the story and immediately began to cry:
"You're a heartless business owner! My daughter is already sick; if she gets sick from eating this, none of you will get away with it!"
Lu Yuan didn't want to waste any more words with her, so he picked up the bowl and asked:
"So you're convinced this hair belonged to one of our staff members who dropped it in?"
The woman stubbornly refused to back down: "We all have long hair, so it must be one of your hairs that fell in!"
Lu Yuan picked up a lock of hair and retorted, "You mean to say that you guys have long hair, so this couldn't possibly be from you?"
This tuft of hair did look quite disgusting, and many diners who hadn't noticed it before glanced at it more closely and then forgot about it.
The woman said, "Isn't it obvious? Are you still not admitting it?"
"Alright, alright!" Lu Yuan chuckled and said, "Afa, call all the brothers over."
Upon hearing this, Lu Fa immediately went to call over the other Lu brothers.
Upon hearing this, the woman immediately hugged the little girl tightly, took a step back, and said, "What are you trying to do? There are so many people watching!"
Seeing that things were not going well, President Wang immediately stepped in front of Lu Yuan and said:
"Boss Lu, please don't act impulsively! You're still young, please don't go down the path of crime!"
Lu Yuan was amused by President Wang's actions. If President Wang had a Yunnan accent, he might have really lost his temper.
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I know what I'm doing."
Lu Yuan looked around and said loudly:
"When I, Lu Yuan, open a restaurant, the bottom line that I absolutely cannot cross is hygiene. We welcome everyone to supervise and inspect the personal hygiene of our employees and the hygiene of our kitchen at any time."
Lu Yuan's voice was loud and clear, carrying a quality that was not easily questioned:
"If the problem is caused by my food, I'm willing to pay ten times the compensation. But if it's not my fault, then I'll pursue this to the end."
"Come on, everyone, take off your hats!"
Along with Lu Yuan and the rest of the Lu family brothers, they all took off their baseball caps.
The diners' expressions, which had been amused and indifferent, all turned into expressions of shock.
A row of bare braised eggs appeared before everyone.
"Bald...bald head!"
To everyone's surprise, all the staff at this store were bald, and the place fell silent for a moment.
Mr. Wang patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder and sat back down; he was completely convinced.
This young chef is too ruthless. How could he bear to shave such thick hair?
He was a regular customer who had been eating there every day since the restaurant opened, so he had some doubts about the fact that the female servers had been replaced by young men.
Moreover, Lu Yuan used to have thick, short hair, so he must be guarding against someone by doing this.
The woman slumped to the ground, looking utterly hopeless. She never imagined that Lu Yuan and the others had all shaved their heads.
"Tell me, who ordered you to do this? If you don't tell me, I'm calling the police!"
These days, calling the police is still very powerful, unlike in the future when you'd call the police for every little thing.
Upon hearing that Lu Yuan was going to call the police, the woman immediately knelt down before him:
"Wang Facai made me do it. He told me to throw away the bugs, but your shop is just too clean, I didn't dare, waaaaah!"
"Please don't call the police and arrest me! My child is really sick. Wang Facai promised me 100 yuan before I did it, sob sob sob!"
The diners realized what was happening, especially those from Wang's Restaurant, and immediately asked:
"Is that the owner of the Wang family next door?"
The woman nodded immediately.
It wasn't that Lu Yuan had opened his third eye.
He's been through far too many of these tricks; it's all just human nature at its core.
Back when we lived in Beijing, his business was the best on the whole street, and that's when the trouble started.
Either thugs cause trouble, or you find cockroach hair in your food.
There are even more outrageous cases where people call the police every day, claiming that their homes are filled with poppies that are addictive.
Guo Degang is right; the most naked hatred comes from among peers.
He deeply understood that moment, especially in the early days when there were no cameras; that inexplicable sense of helplessness caused him great pain.
Ever since he asked the old man to send someone yesterday, he's been taking precautions against this kind of thing.
Since Wang Facai and his family's restaurant was basically unable to stay afloat, and they had been quiet for several days without making any moves, they were most likely brewing some kind of plan.
Whether it's hair or a cockroach, he has a way of proving it.
Even if he hired people to smash up the shop, the Lu brothers wouldn't be trifled with.
I didn't expect that someone would come to my door so soon after I had just arranged for my brothers to come and do the work.
Lu Yuan reached out and helped the woman up, saying calmly:
"Don't kneel before me, I don't want to bear the consequences of your actions. But you can't leave yet, there are some things I need you to explain. Everyone's watching, I won't do anything to you."
Then Lu Yuanchong waved to the diners and said:
"Sorry for the inconvenience, everyone. Today, everything is 8% off. We also welcome everyone to keep an eye on our restaurant's hygiene in the future!"
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, the diners were completely convinced and applauded and cheered.
"Boss Lu is very generous!"
"Boss Lu is so generous!"
. . .
The woman and the little girl were taken to the backyard. Lu Yuan still had to cook, so he arranged for someone to bring them another serving of lamb and rice.
The woman was terrified and kept crying, and the little girl cried along with her, but she couldn't stop drooling.
Wei Yinghong watched from the side and sighed, saying:
"Sister, let the child eat. We won't make things difficult for you. Just explain things to Lu Yuan when he's done with his work."
After hearing this, the woman handed the bowl and chopsticks to the little girl, and then knelt down in front of Wei Yinghong with a thud.
"What are you doing!" Wei Yinghong helped the woman up and asked, "Sister, what's your name? Where are you from?"
The woman said, "My name is Sha Xiaojuan, from Shawo Village. My mother married into the Wang family."
"Then why did you do such a thing?!"
Sha Xiaojuan looked at the little girl, tears streaming down her face.
"My child has congenital heart disease. The doctor said she won't live long without surgery, but my husband thinks it's not worth spending money to save a girl, so he ran away. Waaaaah!"
"What a bastard!" Wei Yinghong said indignantly, "Does he even consider himself a man?"
As the two chatted, Lu Yuan finished cooking the dishes he owed earlier and went to the backyard to say to Sha Xiaojuan:
"I'll have someone take you to a hospital in the provincial capital for a checkup. If the diagnosis is true, I'll cover the surgery. But if you're lying, I'll call the police immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Sha Xiaojuan immediately turned to Lu Yuan and kowtowed frantically:
"My benefactor, if you would pay for my child's surgery, I'd give you my life!"
Lu Yuan shook his head: "I don't want your life, but you have to do something else for me!"
