Chapter 535: Thereâs Always Someone Causing Trouble
"So what? As long as I have more shares than you, this company is mine to command. I can do whatever I want. If you came here just to tell me this, then Iâll tell you, my decision wonât change. So now, you can leave." Xu Ke glanced at the door, indicating for Chairman Sun to leave.
"I didnât expect you to be so autocratic. Iâll wait to see the day you regret this." Chairman Sunâs eyes were red with anger at Xu Keâs words, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Seeing Xu Keâs unapologetic face, Chairman Sun stormed out in a fit of rage.
"You seem to be in a good mood today! Did something interesting happen?" Ariel timed Xu Keâs finishing work and waited for him downstairs. Seeing Xu Ke looking so pleased, she couldnât help but ask.
"I just cleaned up some leeches, and the company looks much better now." Xu Ke said as he playfully touched Arielâs nose.
Hearing it was about the company, Arielâs interest vanished all at once, "I thought it was something else, turns out itâs just company stuff!" Ariel pouted disappointedly.
"You little fool, Iâve been in the company all day, so anything that happened would naturally be company-related." Xu Ke laughed.
"Forget about those things, I didnât have lunch, and Iâm really hungry now! Letâs go eat, I found a place rumored to be quite good, and they say their braised chicken is delicious."
As soon as food was mentioned, Arielâs eyes sparkled, and she became extremely excited.
"You, really, just mention food and you get all excited."
"This is my only hobby! Coming to China, I realized what I used to eat wasnât even real food. The days before were worse than a dogâs life; surely I can indulge myself now?"
Ariel stood with her hands on her hips, speaking confidently but adorably, making Xu Ke want to shrink her down and put her in his pocket, taking her everywhere with him.
"Alright, alright. What you said makes sense. Letâs hurry to eat now, so my little princess wonât get too hungry." Xu Ke teased Ariel.
"Thatâs more like it." Ariel raised her chin arrogantly and gave Xu Ke an address.
Perhaps it was because their specialty was braised chicken, the restaurant was decorated in an antique style, instantly transporting guests to ancient times, even the staff wore traditional attire, addressing customers as âsirâ.
"Sir, hereâs your private room, the menu is here. If you need anything, Iâll be just outside," the server who led Xu Ke and Ariel in, instructed them respectfully and exited.
"The servers here are quite interesting, Iâve never seen the clothes theyâre wearing before. Did people in ancient China dress like this?" Arielâs eyes lingered on the doorway, eager to see more of the serversâ outfits.
"Theyâre not wearing them correctly. China went through many ancient dynasties, each with different attire, so their costumes arenât authentic." Xu Ke turned Arielâs head back towards him, explaining to her.
"Alright, stop looking at them. Didnât you say you were hungry? Hurry and order!" Xu Ke felt a bit jealous, disliking how Arielâs gaze stayed on others for too long.
Ariel seemed to have seen through Xu Keâs thoughts, a sly smile on her lips, looking like a mischievous fox, making one want to hit her but couldnât bear to.
Ariel called the server in and quickly ordered everything she wanted to eat.
"Sir, itâs just the two of you. Isnât this too much food?" The server noticed Ariel still about to order more and hurriedly intervened.
"Is it too much?" Ariel was caught up in the excitement of ordering and hadnât realized how much sheâd ordered, just eager to list all the food she wanted.
"It is a bit much." Xu Ke, who had listened through the whole process, nodded in agreement with the server.
"What should I do then?" Ariel pouted, feeling a bit troubled.
"If you want to eat them, then just order them all." Xu Ke said, doting on Ariel.
"Actually, some dishes in our restaurant can be ordered in half portions. If you donât mind, we could switch some dishes to half portions. Is that alright with you two?" The server suggested at just the right moment.
"Thatâs a good idea, turn everything that can be into a half portion." Ariel was pleased with the serverâs suggestion and gave a generous tip.
The server happily accepted the tip, and seeing no other demands, exited once again.
With no third wheel present, Xu Ke and Ariel chatted sweetly in the private room.
Just as they were getting into the conversation, the door was kicked open.
A young man with dyed yellow hair stood at the entrance with hands in pockets, looking arrogantly at Xu Ke and Ariel. The tipped server was sprawled at the young manâs feet.
"I wondered who dared to compete with me for dishes, turns out itâs a couple." The young man spoke lazily.
"Bring their braised chicken over to me, got it?" He demanded arrogantly.
The server, picking himself up from the floor, brushed the dust off his clothes, wearing a troubled look.
"Young Master Zhao, this is really against the rules. These dishes were ordered by this couple, without their permission, we canât just bring them to you. It would break the restaurantâs rules. If we make an exception once, who will follow the rules in the future? Please donât make it difficult for us." The server pleaded with a bitter expression.
"Stop talking to me about rules, if Iâm interested in your braised chicken, thatâs giving you face, donât make trouble for me here." The young man harshly shoved the server, speaking coldly.
"Weâre honored if you like our food, but the rules were set by our boss, and we canât change them without his consent." The server, steady on his feet again, continued to hope the young man would change his mind.
Hearing the mention of their boss, although the young manâs face showed resentment, he finally shifted his attention from the server to Xu Ke and Ariel.
"Alright then, for your bossâs sake, I wonât trouble you today. Besides, itâs not like theyâre willingly giving it to me? Itâs no big deal!" The young man adjusted his not-unkempt collar, thinking himself very suave.
