C127 Who Is Lin Dong? We Only Have Manager Xiao

"Did someone call for the manager?"

The waitress, Zhao Lee, was taken aback.

She glanced over at Lin Dong.

Lin Dong was young and strikingly handsome, and his girlfriend was exceptionally beautiful.

Despite his simple attire, he exuded a calm and composed air.

Zhao Lee speculated that he might be a scion of a wealthy family, yet she had never heard the name Lin Dong before.

Moreover, Lin Dong had directly requested to speak with the manager.

Was summoning the manager such an easy task?

If Lin Dong was merely posturing for amusement, she'd be the one facing a reprimand!

This wasn't an unprecedented scenario.

Many patrons of the KTV sought connections with the management, either to show off to their peers or to curry favors and discounts.

They all had their motives.

Given past experiences, the other waitstaff were understandably cautious about making such rash moves.

While Lin Dong didn't seem like someone who would feign importance, Zhao Lee was hesitant to just summon someone.

With a polite smile, she said, "Sir, if there's anything you need, please let me know. I'll do my best to accommodate you. However, our manager doesn't typically meet with guests directly."

Lin Dong returned the smile and said, "You might not be aware of who I am. Please inform the manager that Lin Dong, his boss, has arrived. He'll know what to do."

"Boss?"

Zhao Lee's eyes widened in shock.

She hadn't expected Lin Dong to be the owner of the KTV!

Given Lin Dong's youth, it seemed improbable.

Torn with indecision, she wondered whether to relay the message.

A misstep could lead to disciplinary action from her superiors, including a possible pay cut.

Just then, a man in a suit passed by the entrance.

He overheard Lin Dong's statement.

Pausing, he stepped into the room and asked, "Who's asking for the manager? What's the issue, Zhao Lee?"

Recognizing the man, Zhao Lee exclaimed, "Manager Yang! This gentleman here, he says his name is Lin Dong and claims to be the owner. He's requested to speak with Manager Xiao."

Manager Xiao is the owner of Rihao KTV.

Upon hearing Zhao Lee's words, the man known as Manager Yang immediately scowled.

He glared at Lin Dong and snapped, "What boss? Who's Lin Dong? We only recognize Manager Xiao here! Are you trying to stir up trouble, kid?"

His eyes were menacing as he spoke.

Without giving Lin Dong a chance to respond, he went on, "You're welcome to spend and enjoy yourselves here, but don't cause any problems! Otherwise, you'll regret it!"

Manager Yang suspected Lin Dong of being a troublemaker.

He issued his warning and then strode away, not allowing Lin Dong any opportunity to speak.

Lin Dong was inwardly fuming. What kind of attitude was that? Is this how a subordinate should behave?

At that moment, Zhao Lee quickly bowed and apologized, "I'm so sorry, our manager was just joking. Please don't take it to heart!"

"Zhao Lee, come out here!"

Manager Yang summoned her.

Zhao Lee cast an apologetic glance at Lin Dong before hurrying out.

Once outside, Lin Dong overheard Manager Yang instructing Zhao Lee.

"Keep a close eye on that kid!"

"He's up to something. He might try to skip out on the bill, or he could be here to cause trouble!"

"Either way, we need to watch him closely. Don't let him pull anything else. Alert security immediately if there's an issue."

...

Lin Dong, from inside the private room, caught every word Manager Yang said.

Perhaps this was all a deliberate provocation by Manager Yang!

Fueled by anger, Lin Dong stood up abruptly.
