Chapter 376 - Pay the Money and Say Thank You (1/2)
Lu Fei glanced at Fang Yuqi and said sarcastically, “Isn’t this Doctor Fang? You just got promoted to director of surgery, and you learned to eat and run, huh?”
“It’s you. Why are you here?”
Lu Fei’s appearance at this point surprised Fang Yuqi.
But when Qin Haodong saw Lu Fei show up with the guy of the restaurant, he knew it must be this guy who was up to something.
“I have certainly come here to dine. I didn’t expect to meet Director Fang to eat and run. What a surprise!” Said Lu Fei, with a wicked smile.
Song Wu stepped forward and said, “Lady, I’m the general manager of the seafood restaurant. Please pay according to the bill.”
Fang Yuqi said, “I can’t pay. Your service is anything but transparent. A meal costs me 400,000 yuan and you don’t ask us before you serve it.”
Song Wu sneered. “You asked the waiter to order. When the wine was opened, the waiter had asked you. If you’re not satisfied, you can complain, but now you have to pay.”
Fang Yuqi blushed. “You… I did ask the waiter to order the dishes, but why didn’t you tell me about the expensive dishes? And the waiter only asked me if I wanted the wine to open. He didn’t quote the price.”
Lu Fei laughed. “Everyone should pay for the meal, Director Fang. You’ve just become the director, and you’re here to eat and run. It won’t be good for you if colleagues at the hospital know about it tomorrow.”
Then Fang Yuqi realized the seriousness of the problem. If this got out, everyone would assume that she didn’t pay for the meal, and no one would listen to her explanation.
She was a woman, after all, and had just been promoted. It would be a devastating blow to her reputation.
As if reading her mind, Song Wu said, “Lady, pay now or I’ll call the police. Refusing to pay 400,000 yuan is enough for the police to file a case.”
His words hit Fang Yuqi again. She didn’t want to be taken to the police station for not paying for food. She really didn’t want to be humiliated.
By now, she had to accept it. She took a bank card from her pocket and said, “I only brought 200,000 yuan with me today. I can give you an IOU for the rest and send it to you later.”
Song Wu was filled with joy. It seemed that his old classmate was right. The woman finally chose to put up with it and make peace. With such a large order, he was sure to add to his bonus this month.
“I’m sorry, lady, but no credit is allowed in our hotel. Isn’t there a man next to you? See if he can help pay for the rest.”
Fang Yuqi refused, “No, I can’t. It’s my treat and I ordered the food. It has nothing to do with him. You may rest assured that I will send you the rest tomorrow.”
Qin Haodong nodded in his mind. From this point of view, Fang Yuqi was a good person. She’d rather take it on herself than let Qin Haodong lose. Then he wanted to help her.
Lu Fei laughed. “Director Fang, I can’t believe you don’t even have enough money to pay for your meal. Well, who hasn’t been in trouble? I’ll call the director of the hospital right now and ask him to send you the rest of the money.”
“You… No!”
Fang Yuqi, who didn’t expect Lu Fei to be so evil, turned pale. If this matter was known to Zhang Lijun, it would definitely bring her a very bad influence. Besides, she didn’t want to lose face.
“It’s all right. After all, you’re his staff, the newly promoted director. It’s normal for him to care about you.”
Lu Fei laughed again with a great deal of pleasure, as if he had expressed all the anger that lay in his heart. After laughing, he reached for his phone and actually tried to call Zhang Lijun.
Fang Yuqi’s face was very white. She didn’t want it to happen, but she couldn’t stop it. She was filled with remorse. She shouldn’t be so careless and should have ordered on her own.
Just when she was at her wit’s end, Qin Haodong suddenly said, “Wait a minute.”
Lu Fei looked up at Qin Haodong and said contemptuously, “What? Do you want to help foot the bill?”
In his opinion, Qin Haodong, a little Chinese medicine practitioner, couldn’t possibly get 200,000 yuan with less than 1,000 yuan of clothes all over his body.
“I don’t have that much money.”
Lu Fei looked even more disdainful. “Since you have no money, don’t talk. Do you think Director Fang is beautiful, so you want to act like a hero? Let me tell you, it’s not for everyone. You have to have money in your pocket. A poor man like you had better go and wash and sleep as soon as possible.”
Qin Haodong didn’t mind, as if he didn’t hear his sarcasm, saying, “I don’t have money, but Doctor Lu, you have, doesn’t you?”
Lu Fei glanced at him and sneered. “I do have money, but what does it matter to you?”
“Of course.”
Qin Haodong stared at Lu Fei with an invisible flash in his eye, and he launched the Mind-manipulating. Since this guy was trying to pull a fast one, he would play with him.
He continued, “With your ability, you can’t do today’s operation. At least you can’t save the wounded. At this critical moment, Doctor Fang came forward to help you through the difficulties, which saved your face. Should you thank her?”
Fang Yuqi didn’t know why Qin Haodong brought this up all of a sudden. It was a slap in Lu Fei’s face, adding fuel to the fire.
But to her surprise, instead of turning away, Lu Fei nodded compliantly and said, “Yes, I should thank Doctor Fang.”
“That’s right. A man should be grateful, or else he is no different from a beast,” Qin Haodong uttered with a smile. “Since you’re grateful to her, you need to show your sincerity. Pay for Doctor Fang’s meal today. Do you mind?”
“I have no objection! I have no objection! Doctor Fang has helped me so much that I deserve to buy her a meal!”
When he said that, not only Fang Yuqi but also Song Wu was dumbfounded. Obviously his old classmate wanted to fool these two people, but why did he suddenly completely change his attitude, and even begin to please them?
No matter what they thought, Lu Fei took a bank card from his pocket, held it out to Song Wu and said, “I’ll settle the bill for Doctor Fang. Now pay by the credit card.”
