Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 539 You Have Body Odor
"Vice Chairman Hao, this won't do," Ye Mei hastily came up to stop him. How could their family, humble as it was, become connected with a big shot like Hao Jian?
But Hao Jian just raised his hand to stop her from continuing and then pinched Meiya's little cheek, "If you're bullied in the future, just find godfather, understand?"
"Understood," Meiya nodded vigorously.
"Such a good girl!" Hao Jian pinched the little girl's nose affectionately.
After that, Hao Jian and his party headed for the anime-themed restaurant. At the entrance to the themed restaurant, they saw that fat woman from before was also present.
The fat woman also noticed Hao Jian and his group; she was first taken aback, then a fierce glint flashed in her eyes. She said to the greeter beside her, "That group of people are thieves; they just stole a lot from a children's clothing store. Don't let them come into the restaurant to eat later."
When the female greeter looked toward Hao Jian's group and saw how shabbily Hao Jian was dressed, her face instantly showed contempt, clearly believing some of what the fat woman had said.
"Please don't worry, I will make sure they don't come in and disturb your meal," the greeter said very respectfully.
Upon hearing this, the fat woman finally felt satisfied and went inside.
Dare to fight with me? I'll play you to death!
When Hao Jian and his group were about to enter, the female greeter indeed stopped them.
"Sir, I'm sorry, but you can't enter!"
"Why?" Hao Jian asked with displeasure. He had clearly seen the fat woman talking to this girl a moment ago.
Without guessing, Hao Jian knew the fat woman must have badmouthed them, which is why this girl was stopping them.
"I'm sorry, but our restaurant does not serve people who are not dressed properly," the girl said.
"Not dressed properly? Where are we not dressed properly?" asked Hao Jian.
"This girl is only wearing slippers, which counts as being not properly dressed," the greeter said so.
Hearing this, Meiya immediately became shy and tried to hide her feet behind her, but there was simply nowhere to hide, making her look somewhat comical.
But Hao Jian and his companions didn't find it funny; they only felt heartache. It was incredibly cruel to repeatedly strike against the self-esteem of a six-year-old girl like this.
"I don't know what that fat woman told you, and I don't care whether or not you really believed her words. But now you must pay for what you've done!" Hao Jian's voice was stern, obviously angered.
If she had only been influenced by the fat woman's deception, Hao Jian wouldn't have held it against her, but her words were too excessive, insulting Meiya, which Hao Jian could not tolerate.
"Apologize to her, or else I will make you understand what regret is!" Hao Jian said icily, each word deliberate, his expression as cold as frost, exuding an imposing aura.
Yet the greeter showed disdain, apologize to a little brat? How could that be possible?
"Please leave immediately, sir, or else I'm calling security!" The greeter said coldly, her attitude dismissive, not taking Hao Jian's threat seriously at all.
"Hao Jian, why don't we try a different restaurant?" Ye Mei sighed, not wanting to make things difficult for Hao Jian.
"No, we're eating here today!" Hao Jian said domineeringly, and then turned to Yuan Shanshan, "Find out who owns this place right away, and then have him roll over to me!"
"Yes!" Yuan Shanshan responded and then hurriedly made a call to get the information.
"Psh, who's scared by that? Don't think you can bluff me with that!" The greeter scoffed, finding Yuan Shanshan's words laughable, as if they were all just acting.
If Hao Jian really had such a background, why dress so raggedly? Dressing himself so poorly was one thing, but even his daughter was dressed in rags and wearing worn slippers outside, looking just like a beggar.
Such a group of people daring to act rich in front of her?
"You'll soon find out whether I'm bluffing you or not!" Hao Jian scoffed.
At that moment, Yuan Shanshan had also finished her call and approached Hao Jian, "I've informed the owner of this restaurant, but he isn't in the country. However, he's sent the manager here to take care of the situation. Moreover, he says he's truly sorry and hopes to receive your forgiveness, not wishing you to be angry with him over the stupidity of his employees."
Thinking about the almost pleading tone of the owner speaking to her, Yuan Shanshan couldn't help but want to laugh. It seemed that in the eyes of some people, Hao Jian was indeed like the Devil himself, terrifying to such an extent.
"It sounds so true; I'd like to see if you can actually bring our manager here!" The greeter laughed coldly, finding Yuan Shanshan's words far too ridiculous, like something out of a play.
But Hao Jian couldn't be bothered to talk to her anymore, and after about five minutes, a young man in his thirties came running out of the store, sweating profusely.
Seeing her manager actually come out, the greeter's expression changed drastically.
Their manager had really come – could it actually be because Hao Jian called him?
Gradually, the derision on the receptionist's face disappeared, giving way to a trace of uneasiness and trepidation.
And then, something even more shocking happened that almost made her jaw drop.
Their manager walked straight up to Hao Jian and bowed, "Mr. Hao Jian."
Could their manager actually have been summoned by Hao Jian? Weren't these guys a gang of thieves?
It was only then that she realized she'd been played by the fat lady, and had unwittingly offended a figure she shouldn't have.
"Was it your boss that asked you to come?" Hao Jian asked indifferently.
"Yes, our boss wants to offer you his sincerest apologies. We will provide you with a satisfactory answer. Moreover, as a gesture of apology, all expenses today will be on the house!" the manager said humbly.
Afterward, the manager turned towards the receptionist, who was frozen in shock, and said with a cold face, "You, don't bother coming to work tomorrow!"
"Manager..." The receptionist tried to say something to salvage the situation but was interrupted by the manager.
The manager was still unyielding and sternly said, "No more words! Hurry and gather your things, go to the finance department to settle your salary! In the future, I don't want to see you here again! How dare a mere receptionist show disrespect to Mr. Hao Jian, what do you think you are?"
The receptionist looked at the manager, dumbstruck, and then burst into a grievance-filled cry before running away. Never in her life had she been humiliated like this.
In response to this, Hao Jian and the others didn't show a shred of sympathy; in their eyes, the receptionist had brought this upon herself.
"Let's go in," said Hao Jian, not wanting this small interlude to spoil his mood.
Immediately, everyone walked into the restaurant together. The manager did not dare delay and followed closely by Hao Jian's side, leading the way for them.
He knew that Hao Jian was a VIP guest and their boss had specifically instructed them to treat him well. If anything went wrong, he too would have to pack up his belongings and roll out!
Just then, Hao Jian saw the fat lady and a few friends dining at one of the tables.
When the fat lady saw Hao Jian and his group entering, she too was stunned. Hadn't the receptionist already stopped Hao Jian and his friends? How did they get in?
At this moment, Hao Jian turned his head and whispered a few words to the manager, his lips curling into a mischievous smile.
The manager chuckled briefly, then nodded to Hao Jian, "Don't worry, leave it to me!"
Then, the manager walked toward the fat lady.
"What are you up to?" Chen Zhiyan asked, utterly baffled.
"You'll see soon enough." Hao Jian replied cryptically, found a spot to sit down, and then turned his gaze towards the fat lady.
"Ma'am, please dine elsewhere!" said the manager, who had already approached the fat lady with a face void of expression.
"Why?" The fat lady was instantly dumbfounded, filled with skepticism.
"Because the body odor you have is affecting other guests at several tables. They find it repulsive and think your odor is disturbing their meal. To avoid further inconvenience to them, I'm afraid I have to ask you to leave," the manager said, naturally following Hao Jian's instructions.
The fat lady's friends, upon hearing she had body odor, couldn't help but look astonished and then gazed at the fat lady with a strange expression.
"What are you talking about? I don't have body odor at all!" The fat lady was taken aback. She had never had such a problem. How could she possibly affect others?
The fat lady's face turned red because she could sense the peculiar way her friends were looking at her. If she were thought to have such an issue, then they would likely start avoiding her in the future.
The guests at the neighboring tables listened to the manager's words and were all staring at the fat lady with looks of surprise.

As the manager had not lowered his volume—in fact, he seemed to have made sure everyone heard—so all of them heard loud and clear.
"Hao Jian, you're so mean!" Chen Zhiyan glanced at Hao Jian, knowing full well that the reason the manager said those things was that Hao Jian was stirring up trouble.
"She wanted to embarrass us, and I'm just returning the favor with her own methods!" Hao Jian said with a slight smile.
"Ma'am, whether or not you have body odor is not up to you to decide. It's up to the guests. If you didn't bother them, they wouldn't complain," the manager said seriously.
"Who said I have body odor? Let them come out!" the fat lady shouted, eager to see who dared to slander her so recklessly!
"My friends haven't smelled any body odor on me, you claim there is?" The fat lady glared, visibly upset. "Since you say someone complained about my body odor, let them confront me in person!"
"I smelled it, you indeed have a foul odor, and it's unbearable, I was about to suffocate!" Hao Jian immediately raised his hand and spoke with a taunting look at the fat lady.
