Chapter 496 Pregnancy Reaction

Wei Biaobiao frowned. How could he not see that Qu Yan deliberately ignored him and targeted Ding Ning?

He would have wanted her to retreat in the face of the difficulty, but she righteously used her profession as the reason. Apparently, she wanted to set herself against Ding Ning to the end.

But no matter how hard he thought, he did not know what on earth was wrong with this woman, for she did not even care about his feelings at all.

If she was a stranger, that was not a big deal, but she was his good friend’s wife. If he scolded her too much, that was not suitable, so he fell into a dilemma and looked sullen.

“What a dedicated reporter!”

Ding Ning suddenly smiled, threw a micro hard drive card to Qu Yan, and said with a faint smile, “Great Reporter Qu Yan, right? I think you had better go home and take care of your child. This…I suggest you watch the content in it with your earplugs, lest that everyone should be embarrassed by then.”

Qu Yan pursed her lips disdainfully and gave a cold snort. “Make a mystery out of a simple matter.”

Although she said so, she still prudently wore her earplugs, connected the hard disk to her mobile phone, and opened it.

The content was very short, only lasting a few minutes, but Qu Yan’s face turned ashen instantly. She trembled all over, and her look at Ding Ning was like looking at a ghost.

Ding Ning was eating indifferently and did not look at Qu Yan at all. The content of it was just the previous evil secret move of her and Zhao Zifeng. He believed that this woman would restrain herself.

Qu Yan exhaled deeply and became calm again very soon, and then she forced a stiff smile and slightly bowing, apologized, “Mr. Ding, I’m sorry. Just now, I did take the liberty of interrupting your eating. Mr. Ding, I wonder if you have time tomorrow, and I want to have an exclusive interview with you.”

Wei Biaobiao and his companions looked at her in shock, not knowing what on earth Ding Ning had shown her so that she changed from arrogance to humility.

“Good, I’m very looking forward to an exclusive interview with Great Reporter Qu.”

Ding Ning knew that she wanted to negotiate with him alone, so he agreed unhesitatingly.

“Then I won’t disturb you, Mr. Ding, and I wish you a happy meal!”

Qu Yan bade goodbye to Wei Biaobiao and then instantly turned around and left.

Although she still looked very calm, her quick steps and pale face showed that she was not calm at all.

As the representative of the restaurant, Zhao Zifeng came to make an explanation for Ding Ning. He just faced Qu Yan on the wooden pontoon and was about to say something, but was stopped by Qu Yan’s stern eyes, pretending to pass by as if she never knew him.

Zhao Zifeng frowned and was dissatisfied. “The good-for-nothing Yan Hao was scared to retreat, and that’s not a big deal, but the famous reporter Qu Yan has also withdrawn.” So, he hated Ding Ning even more.

With coldness glinting in his eyes, he strutted over and said expressionlessly, “I’m in charge of the restaurant. Is your eating experience good?”

“No, not at all. How can you run the restaurant this way? We came to have dinner, but why did so many ‘dogs’ and ‘cats’ come to harass us?”

Wei Biaobiao satirized him mercilessly as he squinted at him.

Zhao Zifeng clenched his fists secretly and the corner of his mouth twitched, but he put on a stiff smile. “This is the mistake of our restaurant. All spending is free for everyone tonight, and I wish you a happy meal.”

Zhao Zifeng restrained his impulse of hitting Wei Biaobiao’s face with a punch, and his eyes looked quite eerie. As he finished speaking, he turned around and left.

He swore inwardly, “Wei Biaobiao, you had better not fall into my hands, or I will be able to toy with you to death.”

“Stop. Did I allow you to go?”

Ding Ning did not look at him at all and took a sip of the liquor leisurely.

Zhao Zifeng stopped, turned around slowly, and said coldly, “I wonder what else the guest is still not satisfied with?”

A bang sounded, and the crowd was startled.

Ding Ning hit the table hard with his palm and swore angrily, “What a disqualified person in charge of the restaurant you are! We were harassed in your restaurant, but you did not apologize at all. Whom do you want to show your long face to? Are the words ‘all spending is free’ enough? Do you regard us as beggars who can’t afford the bill? What is this fucking service attitude? Can a restaurant with such a service standard dare to call itself the best restaurant in Yan Jing? It is rubbish, bullshit…”

Zhao Zifeng’s face turned red as Ding Ning suddenly went mad at him. The corner of his eye kept twitching, and he wished to chop him into pieces, but since so many reporters’ video cameras were present, he had to maintain his stiff smile and allow Ding Ning to flare up, while he could not retort.

The truth was that Shengzeyuan was the most successful masterpiece of the Zhao Family since it entered the restaurant industry. By using all kinds of improper means, they put this century-old shop under their name.

He was the temporary person in charge when Zhao Zilong was away from the family. If the business of Shengzeyuan was ruined in his hands, he would be unable to tear off the label of being incapable anymore.

Making an issue of Shengzeyuan’s service attitude, Ding Ning had just hit him on his weak point. No matter how frustrated he was or how much he hated him, he had to bear it with flattering smiles. The camera flashlights of the reporters, whom he had deliberately asked to come to force Ding Ning to submit, were now flashing, again and again, making him feel that he had dropped the stone he picked up himself on his foot. So, his face was burning.

He knew that since Wei Biaobiao and his companions were here, Ding Ning could recognize him, but he was now making use of the pretext to humiliate him as an ordinary restaurant boss.

Looking at the unnatural constantly changing expressions of Zhao Zifeng, Huzi and the others had the indescribable joy and felt that all their pores had opened.

Zhao Zifeng was used to being arrogant and domineering by relying on the Zhao Family, and they conflicted with him more or less, but they suffered losses most times. In Yan Jing, few people dared to point at his nose and shouted at him.

Thus, their next look at Ding Ning was with great admiration, and they complimented him inwardly, “The brother-in-law deserves to be a brother-in-law. An intrepid life needs no explanation.”

“What do you want, then?”

When Ding Ning finally became tired and drank tea to moist his throat, Zhao Zifeng asked with a straight face.

After a glance at him, Ding Ning pointed at him pitifully. “What do I want? You should ask yourself this question. Look at you! As soon as I just gave you some suggestions, you put on quite a long face. Is this the attitude you should have as a person in charge in the catering service industry? Stand in my shoes and imagine: If you go to a restaurant to eat and its service personnel all put on a long face, will you feel comfortable?”

“You… I’m not one of the service personnel. I am the person in charge.”

Zhao Zifeng’s face became purplish red, his eyes had the flame of wrath, and he gritted his teeth and said.

“Look at you! You are unhappy with the few words I said. Is it so great to be the person in charge? The person in charge should do better service. Why are restaurants also called the catering and service industry? It means that catering and service are indispensable. What a terrible attitude you have as the person in charge! We are here to dine because we appreciate your restaurant, but you guys allowed those dogs and cats to harass us. As the person in charge, you can hardly absolve yourself from the blame. It shows that there is something wrong with your management. I blamed you with a few words, and then you pulled a face. Whom did you want to show it to? Do you think I cherish the free bill? Your dishes are a little bit expensive, but do you think we are those who can’t afford the bill since we have come here to spend money?”

Ding Ning ridiculed him again, and Zhao Zifeng almost exploded with fury, but he suppressed his anger with hard work and forced an extremely reluctant smile. “Guest, what do you want to do then?”

“Look at you! You still haven’t realized your mistake. This is not a question of what I want to do, but you have to show the sincerity of your restaurant to solve this problem properly so that all the customers who come here to spend money can be satisfied.”

Ding Ning said seriously. Although Shengzeyuan was very big, the strange thing was that his voice resounded clearly in everyone’s ears.

The ordinary people did not think that much, but Senior Brother Yan, who had been sitting and watching the lively scene, had a thoughtful look. “This young man is not ordinary!”

Those who also had the same feeling were the three men and one woman sitting in a pavilion in a remote corner. Of course, they should be two men and two women because Night Lone Ranger was now disguised as a man.

“Lone Ranger, is he that Ding Ning Deputy Director Zhuo of Ninghai reported last time?”

An old man, who had a plain appearance in a Tang suit and whose eyes glinted with smartness as they were opened and closed, asked indifferently.

The handsome young man and the beautiful girl in a green dress sitting next to him all looked curiously at Night Lone Ranger.

Night Lone Ranger frowned and said angrily, “Director Duan, don’t call me Lone Ranger. Now, I am Ning Ye.”

“Well, Ning Ye. Is this boy that Ding Ning Zhuo Bufan reported last time?”

Director Duan said with a helpless expression.

“Right!” Night Lone Ranger was a miser with words. Then, she picked up a mouthful of sea cucumber herself, put it into her small mouth, and chewed it.

The handsome young man did not conceal his love for Night Lone Ranger and said softly, “Lone Ranger…”

“Shut up! Do you have the right to call my name?”

Night Lone Ranger pulled a face and staring at him coldly, shouted.

The handsome young man’s face turned blue and red, and anger appeared and vanished in his eyes, but when facing the icy cold eyes of Night Lone Ranger, he forced a smile immediately. “It’s my fault I forgot what you said. Now you are Ning Ye.”

“Humph!”

Night Lone Ranger snorted coldly. Although she knew that he was twisting her meaning, she did not want to expose it.

The girl in the green dress glanced at Night Lone Ranger and said seemingly unintentionally, “Ding Ning? Night Lone Ranger (Ye Duxing)? Ning Ye? Do they have any relationships?”

“Green Bamboo, can’t you stop talking while eating?”

Night Lone Ranger narrowed her eyes and stared coldly and sharply at the girl named Green Bamboo.

Green Bamboo stuck out her tongue mischievously like an innocent girl and obediently lowered her head to eat, but her eyes glinted with a luster that her trick was done.

Hearing this, the handsome young man was petrified. His embarrassed smile faded away, his fists under the table were clenched quietly, and his look at Ding Ning was with an undisguised murderous intention.

Director Duan watched all this coolly, but he sighed in his mind. “The three before me are the most outstanding young people of the Bureau of Religions, but they are all reckless. So, as the deputy director of the Bureau of Religions, I have a serious headache.”

Green Bamboo came from the sequestered school Pure Land of Sanskrit. She seemed innocent and harmless to humans and animals, but she was skilled at scheming, in fact. Even a few seemingly unintentional words of hers often contained deep meanings, which others would have to spend a long time guessing.

The handsome young man named Jiang Wuhui was a disciple of the Holy-sword Villa who came to experience the life of the earthly world. Although he was less than 30 years old, he had reached the peak of the Earth Martial Arts Realm and could reach the Sky Martial Arts Realm at any time, and his Cloud-shocking Sword Technique was perfect. Even if he met a person who had reached the early stage of the Sky Martial Arts Realm, he could confront the person, but he was arrogant in his bones.

At first sight of Night Lone Ranger, he was stunned and thought that she was a goddess, and then he went to pursue her with passion, but unfortunately, he liked her, but she did not like him. From beginning to end, Night Lone Ranger just ignored him, so his love was in vain.

But he did not change his blind passion and regarded himself as the escort of Night Lone Ranger. In the past few years, he used various means to force all those males who approached Night Lone Ranger away.

The three of them had powerful backgrounds. Although Director Duan was one of the deputy directors of the Bureau of Religions, he dared not to arbitrarily meddle in their open and secret rivalry.

Today, Night Lone Ranger had formally submitted her resignation letter to the Bureau of Religions and would return to her sect soon, so Director Duan arranged a small gathering, which was also a farewell dinner.
