Yu Xinghe had drunk a little too much and completely missed Yu Guoan's reaction. Seeing that Su Yi was actually just as cold toward his grandfather, he burned with rage, pointed at Su Yi, and shouted, "Su Yi! Have I given you too much fucking face? Is that any way to speak to my grandfather?"
Smack!
Yu Guoan was already trembling all over with fright. He slapped Yu Xinghe hard across the face and, so nervous that his voice turned hoarse and shrill, roared, "You insolent brat! Is that any way to speak to Mr. Su?"
Yu Xinghe was stunned by the slap. Bai Miaomiao and the people from the Green Mountain Martial Arts School were even more dumbfounded.
Mr. Su?
The way Yu Guoan addressed Su Yi certainly gave them something to ponder!
Just how extraordinary would someone have to be for Yu Guoan to call him "sir"?
Su Yi ignored them and headed toward the storeroom carrying the liquor bottles. Yu Guoan followed meekly behind him and said in a low voice, "Mr. Su, the boy doesn't know any better. Please don't take it to heart. Once we get home, I'll be sure to teach him a harsh lesson."
"Come here!" Su Yi walked toward the storeroom carrying the liquor bottles, and Yu Guoan followed him all the way.
Xu Chuan had intended to follow, but remembering the slap Yu Guoan had given Yu Xinghe, he suddenly found himself unable to move his feet.
What an imposing old man!
Who would dare follow him?
Su Yi put the liquor bottles in the storeroom. Yu Guoan stood outside, rubbing his hands anxiously like an elementary school student summoned to the homeroom teacher's office.
After a little over a minute, Su Yi set down the liquor bottles and came out of the storeroom. He gave Yu Guoan a long look, then, seeing no one else around, said flatly, "Little Yu, go back and tell the others not to disturb me unless there's something important. As for your descendants, there's no need to deliberately send them to find me either. I'll let the ones who've already come slide, but if anyone else comes, don't blame me for disregarding our old ties."
Hiss-
"This old servant understands." Yu Guoan lowered his head, still shaken. He had sent Yu Huiyin to find Su Yi because he wanted to take advantage of Su Yi's unfamiliarity with modern society and use the opportunity to bring Yu Huiyin closer to him.
Of course, there had definitely been an element of gambling involved. If any of their descendants pestered Su Yi relentlessly or offended him, the consequences would certainly be unimaginable.
Just like Yu Xinghe now.
"I won't pursue the matter with Yu Xinghe, but keep your own children in line." Su Yi's temper could not be called bad, but it could not be called particularly good either. In fact, not everyone who offended him would be consigned to eternal damnation; it was simply that their lives and deaths rested on a single thought from Su Yi.
"Please rest assured, Master. I'll be sure to teach Yu Xinghe a proper lesson when we get home!"
"At your age, you should go home and get some sleep." Su Yi said no more and walked out from the back.
From beginning to end, Yu Guoan followed cautiously behind Su Yi, the distinction between superior and subordinate plain to see.
Inside the bar, many people had drunk a little too much and had not paid much attention to what was happening over there, but Bai Miaomiao had seen it all.
Every move Yu Guoan made really did give her something to ponder!
After returning to the main room, Yu Guoan bowed his head slightly toward Su Yi, then left with Yu Xinghe. Everyone from the Green Mountain Martial Arts School followed them out.
Bai Miaomiao typed out a string of text in her phone's chat window, intending to tell Yu Huiyin and the others what she had seen tonight, but after a moment's hesitation, she deleted it all.
Although she still did not know who Su Yi was, Yu Guoan's appearance had made her one hundred percent certain that Su Yi's identity was anything but ordinary. For him to make Yu Guoan adopt such an attitude, this went beyond merely having hands and eyes that reached the heavens.
"Su Yi, how about coming to my place for a simple lunch tomorrow?" Bai Miaomiao walked up to Su Yi and asked tentatively.
Su Yi looked at Bai Miaomiao casually. The instant their eyes met, Bai Miaomiao felt as though this man had seen through everything in her heart, and she instinctively averted her gaze.
"Sure." Su Yi did not refuse. It was not that he had no affection for the people he had known in the past, but Yu Guoan no longer felt the way he had fifty years ago. Although they still held Su Yi in awe, by now, they seemed more afraid that he would take away everything they already possessed.
More afraid that Su Yi would make them serve him for generations.
It really was laughable.
With Su Yi's strength, if he wanted money or power, it would come at a wave of his hand!
In Su Yi's eyes, everything Yu Guoan and the others now possessed was worth less than dirt.
Bai Miaomiao had now developed an intense interest in Su Yi, and she absolutely did not want to tell Yu Huiyin and the others about tonight. She simply wanted to know who Su Yi really was.
After receiving Su Yi's agreement, Bai Miaomiao left with an air of feigned ease.
Less than two minutes after Bai Miaomiao left, Zhang Ting came over and said to Su Yi, looking somewhat troubled, "Little Su, how about you stop coming to work after tomorrow? Sister Ting will give you all your commission for these two days."
Su Yi merely nodded. "Thank you, Sister Ting. If you ever run into any trouble, you can come to me."
He could see it too. Although he could bring the bar considerable revenue, the people who had come looking for him these past two nights were far too important for Zhang Ting and the others.
Especially since Su Yi had offended Yu Xinghe. That was a ticking time bomb their bar could not handle.
Su Yi's words made Zhang Ting laugh outright. She rolled her eyes at him. "I was just about to say that to you. What trouble could I possibly have? You're the one who has it hard, living alone in a big city. If you ever run into any trouble, you can come to Sister Ting."
Su Yi smiled. "All right."
"If you want part-time work, I can recommend something. The pay might not be as high as it is here, but it should still be enough for you to live on. I'll give you a number..." Zhang Ting took out her phone, preparing to arrange something for Su Yi.
Su Yi shook his head. "Sister Ting, I appreciate the thought, but I've found a part-time job."
Having meals with Bai Miaomiao counted as part-time work too, and the pay was not low either. Judging by the look in her eyes, she had probably guessed a few things, but that did not matter. Su Yi did not really care much about other people's understanding or opinions of him.
So what if everyone under heaven knew he never aged or died?
"Then let me send you your commission and base pay for these two days first." Zhang Ting transferred the money to Su Yi as she spoke, then added, "Don't leave right away later. Let's have a farewell meal together. My treat."
Su Yi took out his phone and glanced at it. Zhang Ting had transferred him exactly thirty thousand yuan, enough to last him quite a while.
As for a farewell meal, he had actually only worked there for two nights. Zhang Ting had done everything anyone could reasonably ask of her and had taken good care of him.
"All right." Su Yi smiled. "Sister Ting, it's not really a farewell, though. I'll probably still come by for drinks often."
Drinks?
Zhang Ting could not help laughing. With Su Yi's capacity for alcohol, rather than saying he was coming for drinks, she might as well say he was coming for water.
His main reason for coming to the bar would still be Lin Yiyun, wouldn't it?
