I will never give in to Miss Death

They pulled a few chairs from somewhere, and two people stood next to the chairs, blocking the door like a plague god, looking like they were going to cause trouble if the problem was not solved.

"Look everyone, this store doesn't meet hygiene standards, and one of my friends got a stomachache."

As Yin Xiamo, Filo, and I watched, one of the men said to the diners around us, "My brother was fine when he came here, but he ate their egg tarts and now he has a stomachache. How dare you eat here?"

"This gentleman."

Chef Wang Jie, who was wearing a chef's uniform, stepped forward and said, "If your brother really feels unwell, we have a solution. We can help you call an ambulance and check what tests and medicines should be taken. We will pay for the medical expenses and lost wages. It's not a good idea for you to drag it on like this, right? Your brother's health is more important..."

"That won't work."

Before Wang Jie could finish his words, he was interrupted by the biggest man among them: "We asked you to admit that there is a problem with your hygiene first. Otherwise, if you go to the hospital and get your illness cured, what will you do if you deny it?"

"Are you being unreasonable?"

Master Wang Jie has always been quite straightforward. He frowned and said, "You said you were not feeling well but you didn't go see a doctor. Are you forcing us to admit something? Generally speaking, shouldn't you go get checked first if you are not feeling well? I don't think you are feeling unwell..."

"Oh, Mr. Chef, according to what you said, you have a discerning eye and can tell at a glance that we are in good health, right?"

"..."

I glanced outside the coffee shop door.

The security guard is not here.

It's better to say... it's normal for the security guards not to be here at this time. Even the security guards at the cafe have an "eight days off a month" work system. And because only two security guards are hired, the cafe opens at eight in the morning. If the security guards are guaranteed to "work eight hours a day", then they will have plenty of rest time.

For example, security guards need to arrive at work at 8 a.m., and the breakfast peak period is from 8 to 9:30, then they can take a two-hour break in between, and return to work at around 11:30, and work until 2 p.m., with a two-hour break, and then it is the working time from 5 to 8 p.m.

That is to say, at this time, the two security guards in the coffee shop have gone to rest.

As luck would have it, the store manager Ouyang Xue and Li Chen, the only man who could handle such "miscellaneous tasks", were out delivering goods, leaving only Lan Jiajia and Wang Jie in the store.

Wang Jie is a chef. His only job in the coffee shop is to cook. Now something has happened in the store and it is normal for him to get angry when he hears someone accusing him of being a bad cook.

Before coming here to work as a maid, Lan Jiajia was an editor. Although she knew how to deal with social relationships, she was just an ordinary girl after all. She must be scared when facing four muscular men.

"What's going on? Why are they arguing all of a sudden?"

"Those men don't look like good people at all. Are they here to cause trouble?"

"Such a big house doesn't even have a security guard? I feel so insecure..."

"What should we do now? How about recording a video?"

The noise made by a few muscular men made us the focus of the whole house. Not only the customers dining on the first floor, but even some young people who were supposed to be drinking milk tea on the second floor ran down and stood at the stairs looking over here.

This is a bit difficult to handle.

Seeing that everyone around me was paying attention to those big guys, I took out my phone, opened Tongmeng.com, and found the official live broadcast account of the coffee shop.

Since its opening, the coffee shop's cameras have been connected to the live broadcast room, broadcasting live 24 hours a day. I remember that even during idle time, the number of viewers can be maintained at about to . Although I was not at the scene when the incident just now, if you just look back at the comments in the live broadcast room, you should be able to...

[It's clear they're in trouble]

[Kamihama City is a bit weird. I am a local. Minami-nagi District is a... center of struggle. If they suddenly do this, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among some forces. That’s all I can say.]

[These people are obviously here to cause trouble, saying they have a stomachache. I have been watching the kitchen here, and there is absolutely no problem with the ingredients and production process.]

[I've already said that these people are looking for trouble, and they have been planning this for a long time]

[Of course, there were not many people in the coffee shop around 2pm, and as soon as the store manager and the male clerk left, these people came in and ordered an egg tart, and started to shout after they finished eating]

really……

After checking the previous comments and figuring out what was going on, I flipped to the front of the list of comments in the live broadcast room.

[How come Nuoer and Xia Mo are back? Aren’t they taking a break today? ]

[Noer...Shashasha, my Noer...Noer is so cute in that little skirt. She is so small that I feel like I can hold her in my arms with one hand.]

[It should be Filo who called Nuo'er and Xia Mo over, but it's useless even if he called them over. I suggest calling the police. How can a few little girls reason with four big men? ]

It was not known whether there was an emergency at this time, but the live broadcast room, which usually had a maximum of about a thousand people, showed that there were more than 3 viewers, and the number of viewers was still increasing. The speed and number of barrages sent were several times more than usual.

I took a quick look and from what I saw until now, almost all the audience believe that these people are "here to cause trouble", and the mainstream sentiment is to worry about "how are we little girls going to deal with this kind of thing?"

[I just checked the map of Kamihama City. The nearest police station is about ten minutes away. Mainly because no one called the police, it’s hard to determine the nature of this matter.]

[So I said, the coffee shop hired two security guards, they are really not afraid of death. Now, someone is causing trouble, how are these little sisters going to deal with it? Can cuteness protect the house? ]

[Isn't Nuoer a fairy? Xia Mo is a demon, and Filo is a dragon? Why are they just watching?]

[The keyboards are clacking. How about you go? Four girls, the most beautiful girls in Kamihama City are here. It’s up to you to save the beauties.]

[I just think you guys are ridiculous. What kind of character is a dragon? That's it? If this Filo you're talking about can beat even an uncle, I'll respect her.]

After a while, the direction of the barrage in the live broadcast room changed from "Should we call the police if someone is causing trouble in the coffee shop" to "The personality of the girls in the coffee shop is ridiculous", and then there were taunts such as "second dimension" and "chunibyou".

[A 20-year-old woman really shouldn’t wear this kind of clothes, a maid outfit…]

[I won't talk about elves and demons. Look at the newcomer Filo. Apart from her big breasts, how does she fit the definition of a giant dragon?]

[Where are you from? Is it time to discuss character design? You can't tell the difference between the second dimension and reality, right? ]

[Stop arguing. I think we should call the police. If you don’t call the police, I will…]

"Noel."

At this time, Yin Xiamo leaned close to my ear and asked, "How should we deal with this?"

"Eh?"

I was a little unresponsive for a moment: "Ask... ask me?"

How to deal with this kind of thing... Generally, we call the police, right?

No matter how stupid I was, I could see that something was wrong at this moment. It was definitely not the case of an ordinary customer having a stomachache.

When ordinary people go out to eat, most of the time they certainly don't go with the mentality of causing trouble. If they really encounter something like a stomachache after eating, the timid customers who don't want to cause trouble or who think it's not serious may leave on the spot. The braver ones will probably argue with the clerk. At this time, I don't think there is any big problem with the solution given by Lan Jiajia and Master Wang Jie - call 120 ambulance, go to the hospital for examination, we will pay all the expenses, and compensate for lost work time.

If it were me, I would probably accept this proposal and go to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination. If I'm not sick, I'd take it as a preventive measure and get a free physical examination package. If I'm sick, I'd get treatment and get compensation for lost work time.

However, these people in front of me are obsessed with asking the coffee shop to apologize? What's their mentality?

The most important thing is that the behavior of these people is just like what the barrage in the live broadcast room said: What a coincidence.

He chose to do this in the afternoon because the security guard of the coffee shop went back to rest, Ouyang Xue and Li Chen went to deliver goods, and there were only two of them in the store. He "had a stomachache" and refused to go to the hospital for a check-up after claiming that he had a stomachache. He only asked the coffee shop to "apologize". This was a bit too purposeful.

"I'm asking you."

Yin Xiamo put both hands on my shoulders: "Nuo'er is about to grow up, and it's time for you to learn to be independent. You should have the highest position in the store now... Let's see what choice Nuo'er will make in this situation?"

Ok……

Why would Xiaomo give me the decision-making power? She shouldn't be the strongest among us...

Confused, I cast a questioning look at Filo.

Then I realized that this "dragon maid" was also looking at me with an expression of "waiting for orders".

I looked at Yin Xiamo behind me again, and Xiaomo also had an expression that said "make a decision".

This scene seems familiar.

It seems like a long time ago...we have encountered a similar situation before.

I felt the scene in front of me became a little blurry.

【…】

[No, there is no road ahead]

[Filo is seriously injured and can't fly. We...]

[Don’t worry about me, you guys… ahem, just go away, I’m the princess of the black dragon, those demons won’t do anything to me…]

[You must be joking! We can't lose any of the three of us! ]

【But……】

[No buts, Filo, I was the one who kidnapped you from Longlin, so I will definitely take good care of you, unless I die... Momo]

[Ah… here! ]

[You protect Filo and heal her wings first. Don't attack without my order. Leave the demons behind to me! ]

【Can……】

[This is an order from the captain! ]

【good……】

"..."

After a brief trance, I came to my senses and walked towards the men.

"Hello, I'm very sorry to have brought you an unpleasant dining experience. Our store manager had to go out to purchase something temporarily. Now I am the acting store manager here."

I stopped a few meters away from the men and said in a cute tone, "I already know the general situation. You arrived at the restaurant at 14:13 and were received by our waitress Lan Jiajia. At 14:18 you ordered a 4-yuan egg tart. The egg tart was served at 14:32 and was eaten by this brother, right?"

I pointed at one of the men and said, "Then at 14:39, you claimed that there was something wrong with the food and that he had a stomachache or something like that. Our waitress, Lan Jiajia, was about to call 120 for emergency help but you stopped her. You also didn't agree to Master Wang Jie's solution of going to the hospital for a full-body checkup and compensating him for lost work time. You have been disrupting the order in the store until now. Does this gentleman's stomach hurt now?"

In fact, if you think about it a little, you will understand that what happened today was most likely caused by the "Minanagi District Vortex".

Ye Yuqing and his team were planning to reorganize the Nannai District, revive its economy, and expand the "Mianyun District." However, some local measures touched upon the interests of certain people, and these people secretly made trouble to prevent the project from being implemented.

And "causing trouble in a coffee shop" is obviously one of the bad means.

Those people wanted to send people to cause trouble at the coffee shop, ruin its reputation, and make businessmen who were planning to invest in the Minami Nagi District Commercial Street feel that "this place is not safe", thus playing a certain deterrent role.

In other words, these "big guys" in front of me didn't have any "stomach upset" at all.

I often encounter similar things when I write novels. Some readers find the novel group through the reserved QQ group number, find me as the "author" through the group management information, and then scold me. After scolding me, they say, "I don't like reading your book. I don't want to read it anymore. Can I get a refund for the subscription?"

Whenever we encounter this kind of thing, we authors will basically choose to keep quiet, simply confirm that the person has indeed read our book, and then refund the full subscription fee.

The same is true at the restaurant. Since opening in May and over a month ago, we have encountered difficult customers who come to Ouyang Xue and say things like "it's so unpalatable" or "I have an upset stomach" and demand a refund. As long as they don't ask for three or five times the amount, Ouyang Xue will refund them.

Or it can be said that this is the case with the vast majority of the catering and even service industries. If you buy a novel, you have to refund your money. If you eat something, you have to refund your money. If you tear up your ticket, you have to refund it... In these situations, as long as the customer makes a fuss, everyone knows what is going on and will refund the money.

But if a customer wants to make a fuss and refuses to accept refund negotiations, we need to think about which interest group he represents.

"Who said it doesn't hurt anymore?"

After my "speech", the leading man jumped down from the stool and asked: "Who are you? Can you represent this place?"

“I’m the acting store manager.”

To be honest, the man's ferocious look really scared me, but in front of so many people, I still pretended to be calm: "We have two solutions here. The first is to refund the meal you just ordered in full and compensate you for your lost wages, calculated according to the average salary in Kamihama City. The second solution is that we will call an ambulance to take you to the hospital for examination. We will pay for the examination and compensate you for your lost wages. What do you think?"

"I said, I don't want any lost wages from you."

The man in front of him raised his voice: "I want you to apologize. There are so many cameras here. You just need to apologize to me in front of so many viewers in the live broadcast room and admit that there are indeed hygiene problems in the store."

It seems that he was indeed ordered to come here to cause trouble.

In that case, I don't want to bother talking to you anymore. I have fulfilled all my obligations.

"How about this? We'll give you a third option."

Facing the main camera in the hall, I gave Philo beside me a look: "There are many cameras here, some things are hard to say, let's go outside and settle it privately."

"Private?"

The leading man was stunned at first, then he was overjoyed as if he had received a great benefit: "Are you sure? Let's talk outside?"

"Ah."

I pointed at Philo.

"Her setting in the coffee shop is a dragon maid. You can talk to her after you get out. The dragon tribe will tell you what is polite."

"..."

……

No. 230 Special seats without extra charge

The situation of these "big guys" is actually quite simple to explain.

By now, I have basically confirmed that there is some "force" behind these people, and they are just following orders to cause trouble.

This is normal.
