Chapter 310 After all, this matter...is related to us.
Chapter 310 After all, this matter...is related to us.
The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered, which started to make Tong Yining panic. She was worried that no one would answer it...
Just when she had completely given up hope, the phone was suddenly answered...
"【Hello?】"
A questioning voice came from the other end of the phone, as if she was reluctantly answering but still had to be polite...
Tong Yining's eyes lit up as if she had grasped a lifeline, and she immediately spoke:
"Ah... Yin Mengran, it's like this, I know I shouldn't have called you, but... I hope you can help me out of respect for our high school friendship..."
"Huh? Help with what...?"
Afterwards, Tong Yining told Yin Mengran the whole story, word for word, without embellishment, because it was unnecessary; the matter was already excessive...
Yin Mengran remained silent, while Zhou Hongyu kept staring at Tong Yining, seemingly lost in thought and not understanding what she was doing...
After everything was explained, all that was heard was a reply from Yin Mengran:
"【knew.】"
She then hung up the phone without saying another word, nor giving Tong Yining a chance to say anything more...
This still worried Tong Yining. She didn't know what Yin Mengran meant, or whether she would come to help her... She couldn't call again to ask.
Tong Yining sat down, trying to appear calm. She couldn't let herself look flustered; she had to appear confident.
Manager Liu was still talking to Zhou Hongyu, essentially brainwashing him, trying to make him completely admit that he was wrong...
And Zhou Hongyu truly lived up to expectations; after being scolded by Manager Liu, he genuinely believed it was all his fault...
He kept apologizing there and started figuring out how to raise the money.
Tong Yining sat there silently, waiting quietly, seemingly calm and collected, but in reality, she was extremely flustered.
It wasn't until she saw two familiar figures walking towards the door that her eyes lit up and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly calmed down!
Unexpectedly, Yin Mengran and Zhou Heng actually came!
Tong Yining immediately stood up and went to greet her. Manager Liu and Zhou Hongyu also turned their gazes towards her, their eyes filled with some confusion...
"Ranran! I knew you wouldn't abandon me!"
Tong Yining looked at Yin Mengran with eyes full of gratitude. Although she said that, she actually lacked confidence inside...
Yin Mengran glanced at her, gently shook her head, and said:
"After all, this matter... concerns us, and we can't just ignore it."
Yin Mengran glanced back at Zhou Heng, who nodded. They had actually already discussed it.
I wasn't planning on getting involved, but then I remembered that it was a gift from Bai Cang, intended for them.
If this hadn't happened, Tong Yining and the others wouldn't have been bullied like this, so it wouldn't be right for them to just ignore it...
After the group returned to the table, Manager Liu looked the two of them up and down...
Yin Mengran looked at him and asked:
"Manager, this was something your boss was going to give away, right? You gave it to the wrong person, why are you asking for money? Isn't that a bit much?"
Manager Liu narrowed his eyes, not answering Yin Mengran's question directly, but instead asking in a low voice:
"Excuse me, are you..."
Zhou Heng stepped forward and said firmly, "Does it matter who we are? Let's stick to the facts. Who we are has nothing to do with who we are. Are you going to discriminate based on who we are?"
"Of course it's related. If it has nothing to do with you, please don't interfere, okay?"
Manager Liu pursed his lips and turned his head away.
Yin Mengran shook her head helplessly, then reached into her pocket and took something out...
"Here, you want this, don't you?"
"Ok?"
Manager Liu turned his head and looked at what Yin Mengran was holding. When he saw what it was, his eyes widened in surprise...
Tong Yining and Zhou Hongyu also saw it; what Yin Mengran was holding was a black gold card...
Tong Yining confirmed that this gift was intended for Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran, but it was given to the wrong person...
Zhou Hongyu understood what was going on, his eyes widened in shock, his face filled with horror, showing an extreme reaction of fright.
Manager Liu immediately bent down, carefully took the card with both hands, and examined it repeatedly to confirm that the card was genuine...
Zhou Heng stepped forward and said coldly:
"Is this how you do things? Your boss asked you to deliver something, and not only did you deliver it to the wrong place, but you also asked someone else for money. You really want to ruin the reputation of this place! I will talk to Bai Cang about this. He is my friend, and seeing that he has problems here, as a friend I must tell him. Now tell me, does this have anything to do with us?"
"Ah... um... you must be Mr. Zhou? Ah, Mr. Zhou, it's all a misunderstanding... a misunderstanding. I was just... just thinking of the hotel's interests, this... this..."
Manager Liu's attitude immediately changed. When speaking to Zhou Heng, he was always bowing, and his tone of voice completely changed...
Zhou Hongyu was stunned by what he saw. He had been terrified by the manager just moments before, and now it was the manager's turn to be terrified...
But... is Tong Yining's classmate really that amazing? So capable, she even knows the owner of this place.
"You don't need to explain to me. You should think about how to explain it to Bai Cang instead."
Zhou Heng waved his hand, stopping Manager Liu from continuing, then picked up his phone and called Bai Cang...
"This... Mr. Zhou, please calm down, Mr. Zhou. I didn't mean any harm. Let's just let it go and not tell Young Master Bai..."
At this moment, Manager Liu was sweating profusely with fear. In reality, his arrogant demeanor just now was all an act.
He knew it was all his fault, but as a manager, how could he admit it directly? What authority and face would he have left after that?
So, seeing that the two students were easy to bully, he shifted all the blame onto them, essentially making them take the fall...
He hadn't expected that these two knew this Mr. Zhou...
"[Hey? Zhou Heng, what's up? Didn't you guys go out to play? How was your time?]"
After the call connected, Bai Cang's voice came from the other end. He was still pretending not to know anything, his tone indifferent.
He was overjoyed to see Zhou Heng calling, assuming it was to thank him for his help...
In fact, he had no idea that Zhou Heng was calling to complain...
