Chapter 229 Kneeling to Apologize
Chapter 229 Kneeling to Apologize
After Ji Ziyang finished speaking, she ignored the man.
She turned to Yunzhi with an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, Zhizhi, it's all my fault for not arranging things properly and for not recognizing the right people. I've made you suffer. Don't worry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation this time."
She won't let anyone who makes her life difficult today have an easy time either.
Ji Ziyang glanced around, her gaze landing on Mr. Gao, who was constantly backing away. She narrowed her eyes and glanced at the bartenders behind her. The two bartenders immediately noticed and brought Mr. Gao out.
The two bartenders stood on either side of Mr. Gao like door gods. Their tall stature made the bloated Mr. Gao's legs tremble. He sensed something was wrong when Ji Ziyang kicked him, so he looked for an opportunity to leave the bar. However, before he could get out of the crowd, Ji Ziyang saw him.
Mr. Gao cannot afford to offend Ji Ziyang.
If he had known this woman was Ji Ziyang's guest, he wouldn't have dared to approach her even if he had ten times the courage.
Mr. Gao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, chuckled dryly, and looked at Ji Ziyang. "Miss Ji, it's all a misunderstanding. I'm really sorry, Miss. I just wanted to offer you a toast, I didn't mean anything by it. If you misunderstood, I apologize to you here."
Mr. Gao was no longer arrogant as before. He smiled apologetically to Yunzhi and attributed everything to a misunderstanding.
"Is it really a misunderstanding? Mr. Gao didn't say that just now. By the way, didn't you say that if I proved I had 100 million in my account, I would kneel down and call you 'Grandma'? Everyone heard it. Mr. Gao, you won't go back on your word, will you? Or does Mr. Gao still insist that I photoshopped the picture?"
Yunzhi looked at Mr. Gao with a half-smile.
Mr. Gao's face twitched. Kneel down and call me "Grandma"? Was he that arrogant just now?
Mr. Gao's forehead was covered in cold sweat like a waterfall.
With so many people around, he certainly didn't want to admit it, but he couldn't bear the consequences of not admitting it. He couldn't afford to offend just Ji Ziyang, not to mention the woman whose identity he didn't know.
As more and more people gathered around, Mr. Gao closed his eyes and knelt down with a thud. "Miss Yun, I was blind. No, no, I was blind. Please don't hold it against me. I apologize to you here."
Mr. Gao is more flexible than the manager. Since he has already knelt down, he must be very sincere. We can't ignore both sides.
Yunzhi was somewhat surprised by Mr. Gao's quick thinking.
"Since Mr. Gao has said so, then I forgive Mr. Gao." Yun Zhi quickly relented. Mr. Gao breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still somewhat contemptuous. Sure enough, women are easy to talk to. A simple kneel and an apology and the matter was over.
"In that case, I'll take my leave. Have a good time, you two." Mr. Gao scrambled to his feet. Having lost so much face, he was too ashamed to stay any longer. He then jogged and squeezed his way out of the crowd.
Mr. Gao is still very agile.
Yunzhi glanced at Mr. Gao's departing figure, a playful smile playing on her lips. She had only said that she wouldn't pursue the matter further, but she hadn't said that others wouldn't. If Cheng Shuyan or her brother accidentally found out about this from somewhere, it wouldn't be her problem if they wanted to deal with Mr. Gao.
If Mr. Gao knew what Yunzhi was thinking, he would be furious and would never think that women were easy to talk to again.
Seeing Mr. Gao escape, and Ji Ziyang preparing to turn and leave with Yunzhi, a flash of resentment crossed the manager's eyes. Finally, she knelt on the ground with a humiliated expression, "Miss Ji, I apologize to this lady. Is that alright? My father has been a long-time employee of your company. Aren't you afraid of alienating your long-time employees by firing me?"
He's arrogant but incompetent; even when he admits his mistakes, it's with a condescending attitude.
Yunzhi doubted her ears. How could this person be so ordinary yet so confident? If he had even one redeeming quality, she could understand his arrogance, but he didn't.
This was the first time Ji Ziyang had been threatened like this.
The flame that had been extinguished in her heart suddenly surged back up.
"Who do you think you are, daring to threaten me? Even if your father is a long-time employee of the Ji family, or even if he is a shareholder of the Ji family, you'd still be fired if you were my son. By the way, don't think I don't know how many bottles of expensive liquor worth tens of thousands of yuan you've embezzled during the opening days. I didn't want to bother with you, but now..."
Ji Ziyang sneered, her eyes flashing with ruthlessness. "Now you'd better spit out everything you ate, not a single bit less, or you can go work for a male escort for free."
Ji Ziyang's eyes burned with anger. She gave a wink to the bartenders beside her, and the two bartenders, one on each side, began to drag the man away.
Only then did the man realize he was afraid. He hadn't expected that Ji Ziyang had been aware of his little schemes all along. The wine he had embezzled had been sold at a low price, and he had no money to pay back.
The thought of being sent to a brothel by Ji Ziyang made the man cry and beg for mercy; this time, he was really crying.
"Miss Ji, boss, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please give me another chance!"
Ji Ziyang ignored the man's pleas for mercy. She waved to the bartenders, and the two bartenders immediately led the man away from the bar.
As the man's voice faded into the distance, the onlookers dispersed. Many were relieved that they weren't the first to rush up and harass Yunzhi; otherwise, the Gao family would have ended up like them. Kneeling down and apologizing in front of so many people was a clear sign that they were prepared to leave Haishi altogether.
"I'm sorry, Zhizhi, this man is the son of our driver. He's worked for us for over twenty years and has practically watched me grow up. The other day, he came to me asking for a job for his son, so I gave him the bar manager position. I never expected that not only would he be dishonest, but he would also offend you."
Upon hearing Ji Ziyang's explanation, Yunzhi instantly understood her predicament. However, she was fortunate to have only encountered her this time. If she had offended a business partner of the Ji family, Ji Ziyang and the Ji family would have paid the price for their mercy.
Yunzhi briefly explained the pros and cons involved, and Ji Ziyang immediately became serious. She nodded solemnly to indicate that she understood.
"Ziyang, what kind of surprise do you think I'll get if you let me come to the bar?" Yunzhi restarted the conversation, forgetting all about the dirty and smelly things.
"The surprise is upstairs, come with me." Ji Ziyang's eyes lit up, she smiled mysteriously, and led Yunzhi upstairs.
On the other side, in an alley next to ZY Bar, a man lay motionless with a bruised and swollen face, his condition unclear.
