My Unpopular Neighbor Girl Has Hidden Identities
Chapter 145 - 145 One hundred forty-five break the rulesChapter 145: One hundred forty-five, break the rules Chapter 145: One hundred forty-five, break the rules The Boss gave the middle-aged man a cold smile, then turned to a waiter on the side, “Call the police.”
“Right away, Boss,” the waiter responded, walking to the counter and picking up the phone to dial.
Seeing the Boss’s confidence, the middle-aged man began to panic, “Well… let’s talk about this, I’m not an unreasonable person, why make such a fuss as to call the police, right, haha…”
“I already gave you a chance, and you didn’t cherish it,” the Boss snorted coldly and turned to walk towards the counter.
Those watching the commotion were confused by the Boss’s strong stance; usually in such situations, the business would apologize and offer compensation, but unlike others, this Boss did not apologize and even called the police. Was he so sure the cockroach wasn’t from his restaurant?
“Here is your pan-fried bun order, all packed.” A waiter approached Song Yan Ning and Yang Lisheng, handing the packed buns to Yang Lisheng.
“Thank you!” Yang Lisheng took the buns and glanced back at the Boss who had returned behind the counter; he really wanted to stay and watch what would happen, but he was worried his wife would be concerned if he got back late.
“Xiao Ning, we should head back,” Yang Lisheng decided, looking at Song Yan Ning.
“Grandpa, just a moment,” Song Yan Ning didn’t want to leave yet. She wanted to see how the Boss was going to handle this.
“Your grandma will be worried if we’re late,” Yang Lisheng said.
“Grandpa, let’s wait a bit longer, or why don’t you call Grandma?” Song Yan Ning pleaded, shaking Yang Lisheng’s arm.
“I can’t really say no to you, can I?” Yang Lisheng laughed helplessly, tapping Song Yan Ning on the forehead with his finger.
Sporting a mischievous smile, Song Yan Ning spotted an empty seat nearby and pulled Yang Lisheng towards it.
The police arrived at the restaurant soon after and after getting a rundown of the situation, one young officer turned to the Boss, “How can you be sure that cockroach isn’t from your place?”
The Boss walked over to where the middle-aged man had been sitting, retrieved a miniature camera hidden at the top of a hanging scroll from the nail it was on, and handed it to the young officer, “Take a look and you’ll see.” Having faced a similar problem before, he installed several miniature cameras in spots not easily seen to prevent any trouble.
The middle-aged man’s face turned pale when he saw the Boss remove the miniature camera and quickly said, “I was momentarily possessed by foolish thoughts, please give me a chance—I’m willing to compensate and apologize.” He had not anticipated that the restaurant owner had installed cameras in such concealed places; no wonder his confidence was high. This time, he’d truly blundered.
The officer looked at the Boss, “Do you want to settle this privately?” Such a minor issue could be settled without involving the police, though if the Boss insisted, the most that could happen was detaining the middle-aged man for a few days.
“No need for a private settlement,” the Boss shook his head. If he hadn’t installed the camera there, today he’d definitely have been the one to apologize and compensate.
Seeing the Boss’s firm attitude, the officer didn’t ask further and led the middle-aged man out of the restaurant.
“Grandpa, let’s go home,” Song Yan Ning suggested to Yang Lisheng after looking at the Boss again. She hadn’t noticed the camera when she had looked at the scroll earlier.
“Okay,” Yang Lisheng nodded and took Song Yan Ning by the hand to leave the shop. He admired the Boss; if it had been another store, the owner would certainly have chosen to keep the peace. Who knew if the complainant, having been wronged, might cause more trouble later.
Yan Zhenzhen returned home and called Principal Li right away, railing against Song Yan Ning over the phone and mentioning that, although Song Yan Ning had no right to be on the second floor, she went there to eat, utilizing her connections with Ling Yu and Guo Kai, thus breaking the school’s rules.
“I will investigate and get back to you with a satisfactory response,” Principal Li replied.
“Thank you, I’ll leave it to you, Principal,” Yan Zhenzhen hung up, content.
“Mom, what did the Principal say?” Fang Ya eagerly asked upon seeing Yan Zhenzhen end the call.
“The Principal said he would handle it. Don’t worry, Mom won’t let you be wronged,” Yan Zhenzhen said indulgently, embracing Fang Ya. She couldn’t believe some poor girl dared to bully her Yaya; she was audacious. Tomorrow, she would go to the school again to warn Song Yan Ning—if she dared to bully her Yaya again, she would ensure the school expelled her.
“Mom is the best!” Fang Ya beamed with anticipation. Tomorrow, she could witness Song Yan Ning being stopped from eating on the second floor; surely, she would be very embarrassed.
Principal Li considered and then made a call; soon, an authoritative voice came from the other end, “Principal Li!”
“Mr. Ling, good day! I have a matter on which I’d like to inquire,” Principal Li spoke politely. In Yang City, both the Ling and Guo families were prominent, and any child who associated with their children had to have a substantial background. Although the Fang family had some status in Yang City, they paled in comparison to the Ling and Guo families.
“Please go ahead,” Ling Qingyang stood and walked to the window.
“The thing is, someone called and complained that your son broke school rules by taking a freshman to eat in the staff cafeteria. I wanted to check with you about this.”
“Alright, I will get back to you shortly,” Ling Qingyang was aware of the school’s rules. While he didn’t think it was a big deal, since Ling Yu was a student there, some regulations had to be followed to preserve the family’s reputation.
Ling Qingyang left his study and went to Mr. Ling’s courtyard; at this time, Ling Yu should be playing chess with the elder.
Ling Yu looked at the chess game on the board, smiled, and put down his piece, “Grandpa, I’m heading back now.” He played two games of chess with his grandfather every day, not out of enjoyment, but because his grandfather considered it compulsory, claiming chess cultivated the mind and would be greatly beneficial for his future.
“Dad!” Ling Qingyang knocked and entered the study.
“Why are you here? Aren’t you busy today?” Mr. Ling looked at Ling Qingyang with some surprise. Usually, at this time, Qingyang was busy with work and seldom had time to visit.
“I just got a call from Xiao Yu’s school; I wanted to ask about the situation,” Ling Qingyang said, looking at Ling Yu.
Ling Yu raised an eyebrow in surprise, “I haven’t done anything wrong.”
“Your principal mentioned that you took a new student to the staff cafeteria today; is that true?” Ling Qingyang asked.
Ling Yu nodded, “It’s not a big deal. Other students have brought peers up there as well, and the school hasn’t said anything.” He wasn’t the first to do so.
