Chapter 630 Conspiracy
You know, the dishes in Yunlai Restaurant are not cheap. One dish costs dozens of taels of silver, and a whole meal will cost at least two or three hundred taels.
Even in a royal palace, it is impossible to eat such expensive meals every day.
Since the day Yunlai Restaurant opened, its reputation has spread rapidly throughout the streets and alleys of the capital city.
Every day, there is a constant stream of people coming to eat or for beauty treatments, making Yunlai Restaurant's business extremely hot.
When Nier looked at this lively scene, she often felt dazed, as if all this was not real.
Money fell from the sky and flowed into his pocket continuously.
She had never thought that she could make so much money so easily, and the feeling made her both excited and a little uneasy.
Nier knew that the capital was a prosperous place and there were naturally many rich people, but she didn't expect there would be so many.
Here, there are many people who casually spend dozens of taels of silver.
The shop owners of other restaurants were jealous when they saw that Yunlai Restaurant was doing extremely hot business and customers were pouring in like a tide.
Moreover, these guests are almost all dignitaries. They are generous and spend money lavishly without any stinginess.
What made these shop owners even more anxious was that even their previous old customers were attracted away by Yunlai Restaurant.
The customers that originally belonged to them have now all gone to Yunlai Restaurant, making their business even more deserted.
The dissatisfaction and resentment of these shop owners gradually accumulated, and they could not accept such a situation.
Although there had been competition and conflicts between them in the past, facing the rise of Yunlai Restaurant, they suddenly found that they had a common enemy.
Therefore, these shop owners decided to put aside their prejudices against each other, get together to discuss countermeasures, and work together to find a way to bring down the Yunlai Restaurant.
Because if they don't take action, their own restaurant will face the dilemma of not making enough money to cover its expenses, and with costs remaining high, it won't be long before they have to lay off employees, eventually leading to the tragic situation of a deserted restaurant.
"The owner of the Yunlai Restaurant is too cruel. He snatched away all the customers and didn't even give us a share." Someone said indignantly.
"That's right. If she earns all the money, how can we survive? We have a family to support. We can't just watch ourselves starve to death, can we?" another person echoed.
"Hey, guys, I have an idea."
"What's the idea? Tell us quickly!" everyone urged.
The man looked a little embarrassed and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "But if the truth comes out, none of us can escape..."
"This..." Everyone looked at each other in silence for a moment.
After a while, someone finally couldn't help but said, "Why don't you tell me first? Maybe you have a good idea."
"Come on, come closer. We can't let anyone else hear this except us." He lowered his voice and spoke mysteriously.
Hearing this, several people looked at each other, then slowly moved closer to him.
They all had different expressions on their faces, some seemed hesitant, while others seemed eager to try.
"I think we should just forget about it. If things go wrong we might even lose our lives." One of them said with a troubled and worried look on his face.
"Hey, you're just too timid." Another person retorted disapprovingly, "People die for money, birds die for food, how can you easily give up such a good opportunity?"
"But this is not a trivial matter after all. If we are discovered, we will be in trouble." The man before was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, we promise that no one will find out that we did it." Another person interrupted, "Then we will deny it to the death, and what can that Mr. Zhai do to us?"
"I don't want to do it. You guys can do it. I'm a coward."
One of them had a trembling voice.
"Now that you have all listened to my advice, you can't keep yourself out of it!"
Every day, Nier was immersed in the wonderful feeling of picking up money everywhere, and even felt a little light-headed when she walked.
On this day, a drunk man was supported by several people and walked into the restaurant.
He staggered to a table, sat down, and shouted, "Hurry up and bring me some good food and wine. I want to see what this medicinal diet that everyone else is talking about is all about!"
However, not long after the man sat down, someone walked up to him quickly.
"Oh, isn't this Young Master Zhai? What a coincidence~" the visitor said with a smile on his face.
When Master Zhai heard the voice, he looked up impatiently and asked casually, "Who are you?"
Seeing this, the visitor hurriedly smiled and said, "You are a noble man who forgets things easily. I will not beat around the bush. When will you pay me back the interest you borrowed from me a few days ago?"
"I borrowed the money with interest? Why are you here to collect the debt? Didn't I say I would give you a few more days?"
Master Zhai spoke incoherently with a look of impatience on his face and a large piece of meat in his mouth.
"I've already given you three days' grace. Today is the day to pay back the money. Why don't you want to deny it? You have money to eat and drink here, but you don't have money to pay back the money?"
The debt collector had a ferocious look on his face and glared at Young Master Zhai viciously.
"How can you not have money? If you disturb my meal again, you'll have to pay the price." Young Master Zhai swallowed the meat in his mouth, then picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and looked at the other party provocatively.
"Humph, you're still so stubborn. Why don't you pay me back today? If you can't pay me back, I'll use your hands as collateral."
As the debt collector spoke, he reached out to grab Young Master Zhai's hand.
"Hey, I'm not going to pay it back today, so what?"
Young Master Zhai dodged the debt collector's hand with a sudden move, then stretched out his fingers and poked the man's chest several times.
"Ah~" The debt collector suddenly shouted. He obviously did not expect that Young Master Zhai's hand was so strong.
"You dare to poke me?"
The debt collector was furious. He twisted Mr. Zhai's arm and pressed it hard on the table.
Young Master Zhai's face was facing a pot of boiling hot soup. The hot steam from the soup kept rising up, making it almost impossible for him to open his eyes.
"Let me go, let me go." Young Master Zhai struggled desperately, but it was difficult to exert force in this position, so he could only be pressed down on the table.
Mr. Zhai’s face was almost steamed. He raised his head with all his strength, thinking to himself: “I can’t ruin this face of mine, because I still need it to pick up those girls!”
At this moment, the power inspired by anger and unwillingness surged into my heart.
Master Zhai exerted force suddenly and knocked the debt collector to the ground!
