Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 76: Chapter 76: If You Are Right, What’s There to Fear?

Zhao Hai was still relatively composed, “The hygiene of our restaurant is not a problem. I don’t know who sent you here, but this kind of defamatory behavior is a violation of the law.”

“What!” the young man erupted, “Damn it, you’re actually accusing me of defamation? There are flies in the dishes of your restaurant, and you’re still trying to justify it? And you accuse me of defamation?”

The crowd became uncertain and uneasy.

From Zhao Hai’s words, was it possible this young man was hired by someone to smear the owner?

For a while, they remained silent.

If the young man really was a plant by a competitor, then if they continued to accuse Zhao Hai, it would seem rather inappropriate.

Seeing that the others had stopped talking, the young man became more anxious and hastily called out, “You unscrupulous owner, do you think by confusing things you can shirk your responsibility? That you can shift everyone’s attention away? I’ll tell you, the eyes of the people are clear and bright; your schemes will not succeed.”

It had to be said, although the young man seemed like a ruffian, the way he spoke was quite convincing.

Upon hearing this, the crowd started to believe the young man again.

“This young brother must be right, the owner is trying to muddle through this.”

“I think so too, this kind of boss with a kind face but a dark heart, knows exactly how to handle these situations.”

“Our eyes are clear and bright, we will not be deceived.”

“Young brother, we believe you.”

“Right, we support you, down with the unscrupulous owner.”

The crowd started voicing their opinions again.

Zhao Hai’s expression turned unsightly, “Sir, please do not talk nonsense. I’m not trying to evade responsibility, nor am I trying to divert attention, I just want to resolve this matter.”

The young man sneered, “You’re still trying to argue, fine then, let’s talk about how to solve this. Regarding the issue of flies in your restaurant’s dishes, name your compensation.”

This was a trap, as long as Zhao Hai agreed to compensate, it would imply he acknowledged the issue with the flies in the dishes.

But how could Zhao Hai not see through the young man’s malicious intentions?

This matter was absolutely not something he could compensate for, or else the restaurant would be completely ruined.

Even though after tomorrow, the restaurant would close and become a branch of Haidilao.

But having run his restaurant for over a decade, the reputation he had built up could not be destroyed just like that.

Zhao Hai said, “I know what’s in the food of my restaurant better than anyone. I just called the health bureau and the police. What the truth actually is, we’ll see when they arrive.”

The young man’s eyes flickered with panic, but he quickly regained his composure and snorted, “You unscrupulous owner, you’ve probably already bought off the health inspectors and the police. When they arrive, you’re going to counter-defame me. I will not let you get away with it. If you’re not willing to compensate, then forget it, it’s my bad luck. But don’t think that this will be the end of it. I’ve already recorded a video, and I’ll upload it online later. I want to see how you can continue to run your shady restaurant.”

Having said this, he intended to leave.

Zhao Hai didn’t fall into the trap he had dug.

And since the police had been called, he couldn’t stay any longer.

If he did, and the health inspectors and police arrived, it would be troublesome.

A thorough inspection of the kitchen would certainly clear things up.

Moreover, in front of the police, he didn’t think he could hold out.

Although he did not know the exact state of hygiene in the restaurant’s kitchen, judging by the owner’s demeanor, it should be fine.

Better to leave quickly. Having filmed the video, uploading it online would mean accomplishing the task.

“You can’t leave!” Zhao Hai stepped forward to block the young man.

“Unscrupulous owner, what else do you want?” the young man narrowed his eyes and said to the crowd, “Everyone, look at this. The dishes in this unscrupulous owner’s restaurant have flies, and now he even intends to lay hands on me. Are you just going to stand by and watch this unscrupulous owner do as he pleases?”

Zhao Yuxin was furious upon hearing the young man repeatedly calling her dad an unscrupulous owner.

But she didn’t know what to do.

Even if she wanted to retort, she knew that in such a situation, a simple rebuttal would seem weak and ineffective.

Moreover, her father had told her not to intervene.

The crowd was agitated again.

“Boss, you’re going too far.”

“If this young man wants to leave, why won’t you let him, are you feeling guilty?”

“Boss, if you dare to lay a hand on this young man, we won’t stand for it.”

Many of the customers dining were standing behind the young man.

Zhao Hai said very calmly, “Ladies and gentlemen, don’t let him set the pace. I just said, wait for the health inspectors and the police to come. Then everything will become clear. If he keeps saying that I am a shady boss and my restaurant is a shady restaurant, why can’t he wait for the health inspectors and the police to come?”

The crowd paused, taken aback.

They hadn’t really paid attention to this point until now.

Hearing Zhao Hai mention it again, it did seem to make sense.

If the owner dares to let the health inspectors and the police come, he is obviously not afraid of being inspected.

Does this mean that the young man is really here to cause trouble?

At this time, Xu Yang had arrived with Lin Junyi and the other two.

Seeing his father-in-law handle the matter so calmly, he didn’t rush forward but walked up to Zhao Yuxin’s side.

He quickly learned the details from Zhao Yuxin.

Over the phone, Zhao Yuxin had only briefly mentioned the situation.

“This person must have been sent by someone else to cause trouble. The only question is who sent him,” Xu Yang said.

“All this time, there haven’t been any issues with the restaurant. These past few days, it’s been Yang Tiancheng wanting to rent the space. It could be that Yang Tiancheng sent him,” guessed Zhao Yuxin.

She wasn’t certain but felt it was very likely Yang Tiancheng’s doing.

The purpose would be to make the restaurant close down and rent it to them.

“Very likely,” Xu Yang nodded, then added, “Dad handled it well, worthy of the CEO candidate I chose.”

When Zhao Hai encountered problems, he managed them reasonably and stayed composed. Reporting directly to the health inspection bureau and the police was definitely very wise.

Facing slander from others, only health inspectors and the police could clear his father-in-law and the restaurant’s reputation.

“Of course, after all, whose father is he?”

A smile formed at the corner of Zhao Yuxin’s mouth.

She too was proud of her father’s approach.

She had been very anxious and had not paid attention to the point her dad had made. Now that Xu Yang mentioned it, reflecting back, it was indeed so.

Ever since the incident unfolded, her dad had been handling it personally. First, he explained to the young man, then, based on the young man’s abnormal reaction, he judged that the young man must have been instigated by someone, and then he reported to the health inspection bureau and called the police.

Step by step, he was changing the customers’ perception.

“Young man, the boss is right. Since he dares to let the health inspectors and the police come, what issue do you have waiting a little while?”

“Young man, if you’re in the right, what are you afraid of?”

“Exactly, young man, a few real flies are solid evidence, don’t be afraid of him calling people over.”

The restaurant customers began to advise him one after another.
