Courtyard House: A System Connecting Two Worlds, Resources for the Nation

"Is this how a municipal bureau official sets an example for ordinary people?"

The waitress, referred to as Sister Wang, stood with her hands on her hips, spitting almost onto Bai Ling's face.

"And this one too!"

She suddenly turned her attention to Zhou Feng, her finger almost poking his nose: "Look at this guy, does he look like a working-class person? His fingers are as tender as scallions, has he ever worked in the fields? Has he ever worked in a factory?"

"Who would believe you if you said you didn't act like capitalists?"

Zhou Feng finally lost his temper, slammed his hand on the table, and stood up abruptly: "Are you deliberately trying to cause trouble? What business is it of yours if we pay for our own meal? Try spewing nonsense again!"

"They're hitting people! The capitalists are going to hit people!"

Before Zhou Feng could make any move, Sister Wang immediately started howling at the top of her lungs.

The waiters who had been watching the show from the corner all rushed over, and when the curtain of the kitchen was lifted, even the chubby chef wearing an apron ran out with a spatula in hand.

Bai Ling quickly stepped in front of Zhou Feng and took out her ID from her pocket to show her identity.

"I'm Bai Ling from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. This comrade is a purchasing agent from the Third Steel Rolling Mill. We eat with our own salaries; who are you to label us? Let's go!"

As she spoke, she grabbed Zhou Feng's sleeve and tried to leave.

After such a conflict, neither of them was in the mood to eat.

Seeing the ID she was holding up, none of the waiters dared to block her way.

"A purchasing agent? No wonder he's so extravagant! He deals with supplies all day long; who knows what he'd be like in the factory..."

"Maybe what?"

Zhou Feng, who had been being pulled away by Bai Ling, suddenly turned around and stared intently at Sister Wang.

The latter straightened his clothes, stiffened his neck, rolled his eyes, and sneered.

"Hey, you fucking..."

Just then, the curtain in the kitchen was lifted again, and an old chef with graying temples, wearing a white apron, strolled out and coughed heavily.

"What are you all doing? What's with all this commotion? Are you going to stop doing business? Or aren't you afraid the boss will come back and punish you?"

"Xiao Wang, do you want to wash dishes in the kitchen, or do you want to go back to the political study class for re-education?"

Upon hearing his words, Sister Wang, who had just been arrogant and seemed to have won the battle, immediately fell silent and awkwardly retreated to the side.

Although they all have secure jobs, there are still disciplinary measures such as salary adjustments, job transfers, and training arrangements for those who violate the rules.

Seeing that the situation had been brought under control, the old chef turned to Zhou Feng and Bai Ling with a forced smile, "Sorry, comrades, she might not be feeling well today. How about I make you two a bowl of vegetarian noodles? It's on me."

Zhou Feng smiled coldly, glanced around at the people around him, and let out a long sigh.

"I'm Zhou Feng, a purchasing agent from the Third Steel Rolling Mill. This matter isn't over yet!"

After saying that, Zhou Feng pulled Bai Ling and walked outside. However, Sister Wang, unwilling to give up, led a group of waiters to chase after them to the restaurant entrance, yelling, "Who are you trying to scare! Everyone has a cadre relative!"

"Sister Wang, is it really okay for us to offend them like this? That woman said she works for the Municipal Public Security Bureau!"

As the two walked further and further away, the waiters following Sister Wang suddenly became a little flustered.

It can feel good to mock and bully others, but if they have the ability to retaliate, then it's not so good!

"Don't worry, we're the working class. What are we afraid of, these capitalists? Besides, what's wrong with the Municipal Public Security Bureau? We haven't broken any laws or committed any crimes. What business is it of theirs?"

The group of waiters immediately beamed with joy again.

What's with all this talk about the Municipal Bureau? They were still ridiculed by Sister Wang and the others until they couldn't even open their mouths.

Only the old chef looked at this group of naive fellows, sighed inwardly, and said nothing more.

Even after they had walked quite a distance from the restaurant, Bai Ling was still stomping her feet in anger, her pretty face flushed red.

This was the first time in her life she had been bullied like this!

Zhou Feng was also holding back his anger, but seeing her like this, he suddenly burst out laughing.

"Don't bother arguing with this kind of person. Tomorrow morning, come to my rented apartment, and I'll help you get revenge!"

"Tomorrow morning? What are you going to do?"

Bai Ling was taken aback and tilted her head to look at Zhou Feng.

The latter patted her on the shoulder: "Comrade Bai Ling, as long as you come and support me tomorrow, I guarantee you'll get your revenge perfectly!"
