SFS Chapter 298 Fire Disaster
Chapter 298 Fire Disaster
Xu Guangwen was a junior clerk in the China Merchants Steam Navigation Company. If he had not specifically used his connections to get the American man named Smith to his destination, he would not have been able to receive him.
The reason why he is so important is not because he is loyal to his duties or wants to show off, but most importantly, he wants to go abroad!
After accompanying this person for so many days and feeling that the groundwork had been laid, Xu Guangwen decided to take the opportunity of treating him to a meal to bring it up and test the other party's attitude.
If there is hope, that would be the best. If not, ask the other party what their requirements are. Anyway, he is determined to get it.
Everything was ruined by this country bumpkin in front of him, and he couldn't help but shout angrily, "You are openly promoting feudal superstition, I will report you."
Gu Mingyue said with disdain, "Let's not talk about the disbandment of the private gang. No one will help you to commit atrocities. Just tell me which eye did you see me promoting feudal superstition? Just based on a few gestures? Can't I exercise the flexibility of my fingers?"
"Bullshit, you just cursed us for disasters like fire and water? Do you think I didn't hear it?" Xu Guangwen said, turning around and asking, "Manager Zhai, tell me, did you hear it too?"
Zhai Xiangdong pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I came here in a hurry and I didn't pay attention for a while."
Gu Mingyue said innocently, "We had a feud before, and it's only natural for me to gloat over your misfortune. You're really making a fuss out of nothing. Do you dare to say that if it's my turn to be in trouble today, you won't add insult to injury?"
Xu Guangwen stiffened his neck and said, "I won't."
Gu Mingyue mocked him, "I see you are weak-willed but tough-talking. Fine, whatever you say is what it is. I don't have time to act with you. I'm a little hungry after watching the excitement. I'm going to eat and replenish my energy. Maybe there will be another show next time, haha..."
Smith wanted to make peace, but was stopped by Xu Guangwen. He whispered, "Believe me, someone must be playing tricks. Give me some time and I will give you an explanation. Let's go eat first, and I will arrange someone to investigate later."
"you sure?"
Xu Guangwen nodded quickly and said, "Our country has always cracked down on feudal superstitions, and does not allow any religious activities. She is definitely playing tricks. When I go back and report it, someone will come to investigate soon. By then, I will make her pay for it."
Smith was skeptical. "Xu, I want to believe you, but Manager Zhai said that it is impossible for there to be no traces at such a high place. How do you explain this?"
Xu Guangwen thought for a moment and replied, "Maybe someone attacked from somewhere else. Have you forgotten that there were many people around that woman? I think someone must have helped. I will have someone check it out later. I don't believe there are no witnesses."
Smith was still a little worried. "Then before you come up with the results of your investigation, I think I should not go out. Let's eat in the hotel. I'll give you a day. If there is no conclusion, I think I need to think about the issue of cooperation. That's it. I'll go back and change my clothes first."
When the two changed their clothes and came to the restaurant, Gu Mingyue was already sitting there eating happily.
When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous of each other, but now both of them feel that this woman is a little mysterious and dare not provoke her easily.
What they don't know is that no Chinese person would let it go after hearing the term "China pig", especially someone like Gu Mingyue who would never let go of any grudge.
I noticed that Smith first filled a bowl of tomato soup at the buffet counter and then continued to look at other things.
She rolled her eyes, filled a bowl as well, and while no one was paying attention, she mixed in the remaining packet of ghost pepper noodle sauce.
While continuing to get other food, he pretended to walk to Smith unintentionally, called him, and while he turned his head, he quickly switched the positions of the two bowls of soup.
Then he said provocatively, "It's okay, I just want to remind you to be careful, the disaster is not over yet."
Xu Guangwen came around from the other side and saw the two of them talking. He hurriedly stepped forward and glared at Gu Mingyue, "What are you trying to do?"
"Look at you, I just met an international friend and said hello, what are you afraid of?"
"What a joke! What's there to be afraid of? I'm telling you, I've already reported this to my superiors. Just wait, you won't be able to run rampant for long."
Hearing Xu Guangwen's words, Gu Mingyue replied without fear, "Really? Then let's see who gets unlucky first."
In order not to leave any trace, she waited until the two of them were seated and then sat down in a seat close to them.
Xu Guangwen frowned, "Why are you following us?"
"Why, is this your house? I can sit wherever I want, and it's none of your business. But seeing how nervous you are, I can kindly tell you why I'm here. I want to observe your unfortunate moments up close, which must be very interesting. What do you think?"
Xu Guangwen stood up suddenly and glared at her, "You......"
Gu Mingyue deliberately provoked him with words, "Oh, you are not so scared that you are going to change places."
Because the entire conversation was in English, Smith heard it as well. He felt that there were dangers everywhere around him, but he also had a sense of luck, thinking that since there were so many people coming and going around him, nothing would happen.
I was so lost in thought that I didn't realize I had finished the entire bowl of tomato soup.
Seeing that the bottom of the bowl was empty, Gu Mingyue quickly poured her own bowl into the plate next to it to make sure the two bowls were almost the same. She was mainly worried that there would be residue at the bottom of the bowl that would be noticed by someone with ulterior motives. She was not afraid of being investigated, but she was afraid of implicating the hotel.
After all, the front desk wasn’t very good, but the manager was still very particular.
The spiciness of the ghost pepper noodles was only a little bit, so Smith felt like his stomach and throat were burning after drinking it.
He was speechless due to the spiciness and was jumping up and down in anxiety. When people nearby came over to check, Gu Mingyue took advantage of the chaos to exchange the two empty bowls.
To be sure, she poured the tomato soup back into the plate to completely cover the bottom of the bowl.
After everything was settled, she leisurely walked over and said mysteriously, "You are sweating all over. Are you on fire?"
Smith remembered what the man had said to him before about the danger of fire, and his hair stood on end for an instant. He wanted to beg the other party to let him go, but he felt pain all over his body and was so anxious that he couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Xu Guangwen reacted quickly and asked immediately, "Did you do this? Last time, when we were splashed with water, you were the first to show up. This time, you deliberately sat next to us. There must be something fishy going on. I...I'm going to report it to the police. You're destroying international relations."
Gu Mingyue said indifferently, "Go ahead, I'll wait. I still don't believe that the world is clear and you can confuse right and wrong. We all eat the same thing, why are you the only ones in trouble? I'm afraid you are trying to blackmail us! Come on, come on, don't just join in the fun, lest people suspect we are bullying others. Think carefully, when I came in, did anyone see me holding something in my hand?"
Someone shouted, "No, I was right behind you just now. I swear to God, you came here empty-handed."
Gu Mingyue then asked, "Did anyone notice what this foreigner was eating?"
A waiter said, "It's tomato soup, as evidenced by the soup base in the bowl."
"If I try it, I'm afraid people will accuse me of lying. Which warrior can help me smell the soup to see if there's anything strange in it?"
Zhai Xiangdong then stepped forward and said, "Since this concerns the reputation of the hotel, as the person in charge, I have no choice but to take responsibility."
