Chapter 124 Trouble Comes from the Mouth
Ou Wenxuan was surprised to see that these words actually came from Lin Fan's mouth.
"What are you talking about? You've never been to a restaurant of this caliber before?"
Although Ou Wenxuan was unwilling to admit it, it was the truth. In his eyes, all he saw were rotten wooden chairs, and even the window and door frames were almost rotten wood.
"There's nothing I can do, the location is too out of the way. We have to cater to our target customers. The people who come here are all poor folks, they only deserve to sit on these rickety wooden stools," Ou Wenxuan said, trying to save face as he looked around at the unassuming diners.
Zhang Dabao smiled awkwardly, laughing at his nephew's lack of knowledge. Just as he was about to explain, he saw a group of diners slam their fists on the table and stand up.
"You're the loser!"
"If you can't speak, then shut your anus!"
Ou Wenxuan was no pushover either, and immediately retorted, "Calling you losers is giving you too much credit! Take it or leave it!"
"Everyone, please, please don't be impulsive! My nephew didn't mean it!"
Zhang Dabao was startled and stepped forward to comfort the diners.
"Uncle! Let these people go, they don't have much money anyway." Ou Wenxuan snorted coldly, putting on an arrogant air.
"You're asking for trouble!"
The diners turned around, rolled up their sleeves, and prepared to beat up Owenxuan.
After rolling up their sleeves, all the diners had the same thing on their wrists: a gleaming wristwatch.
Some brought two pieces.
Owenxuan glanced around and saw Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe, and Vacheron Constantin.
"Nephew, you'd better figure this out yourself!"
Zhang Dabao curled his lip, waved his hand, and let the group of bosses come forward.
Ou Wenxuan turned pale with fright. How could he have known that a group of big bosses would come to this remote and impoverished place for a meal?
"You're so arrogant, do you even know who my boyfriend is?!"
Xiao Ruoyun took a big step forward, looking every bit like a mother hen protecting her chicks.
"Let me tell you, my boyfriend is—"
Before he could finish speaking, Ou Wenxuan quickly pulled Xiao Ruoyun back, covering her mouth while smiling apologetically at the bosses:
"Sorry everyone, I had a bad temper!"
"Snapped--"
Ou Wenxuan slapped himself across the face.
"I'm a loser!"
"Snapped--"
Another slap.
"You little brat, watch your mouth, or you'll get into trouble!"
After hearing two sounds, the group of bosses calmed down considerably and sat down to continue enjoying their food.
Ou Wenxuan wiped away his cold sweat. If Xiao Ruoyun revealed his identity, he could pick up his resignation form the next day.
"Don't be scared, everyone. Let's go to the private room and sit down. It's on me today!"
Hearing what Ou Wenxuan said, most of the confusion on everyone's faces disappeared, and they became happy again.
Zhang Dabao led everyone into the private room, skillfully ordered several specialty dishes, and then everyone sat around the round table.
As everyone took their seats, Ou Wenxuan said with an air of seriousness:
"I suppose none of you understood what I was doing just now. Do you know why I didn't hit them?"
After saying this, Ou Wenxuan glanced at the bewildered expressions on everyone's faces and continued:
"Because I am a member of the Shancheng Group, my own principles do not allow me to do this!"
"Of course, with my skills, defeating them would be easy, but then what?"
"They are just simple, hardworking people who support their families with their own hard work."
"Not only that, they are also someone's father, husband, and son!"
“Behind them are families. If I lay a hand on them, I will not only hurt one person, but also the hope of an entire family.”
Ou Wenxuan gestured wildly and spoke with great passion.
The crowd's gaze gradually turned to one of admiration.
Meanwhile, Ou Wenxuan was thinking: Sure enough, Xiao Ruoyun's classmates don't recognize designer watches.
Lin Fan ignored Ou Wenxuan and instead started chatting with Zhang Dabao:
"These restaurant furniture pieces are quite something, aren't they? They must be made of sandalwood, right?"
Zhang Dabao's eyes lit up, and he quickly replied, "That's right, it is indeed agarwood. You're an expert, young man!"
"I wouldn't call myself an expert, I just know a little bit," Lin Fan said with a smile.
Zhang Dabao gave Lin Fan a thumbs up.
Using agarwood to make tables, chairs, window frames, and door frames is only good for showing off to experts and attracting big bosses. If you encounter an amateur like Ou Wenxuan, they'll just think it's a piece of rotten wood.
"Then look at the sandalwood wooden tables and chairs in my restaurant's main hall, what do you think of their quality!" Zhang Dabao said with a showy expression.
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow: "Those tables and chairs were bought from different places, right?"
Zhang Dabao was taken aback: "Why do you say that?"
"Two pairs of tables and chairs are made of agarwood, while the rest are made of cypress with oil lines to imitate agarwood, passing off fakes as genuine."
Lin Fan smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter, most people wouldn't be able to tell."
"Passing off a fake as genuine?" A hint of doubt flashed in Zhang Dabao's eyes, and he quickly took out his phone to inquire about the situation.
The agarwood was indeed purchased in two batches. After buying the first batch, Zhang Dabao thought the price was too high, and then he happened to meet another agarwood seller who contacted him. The price was 20% lower than before, and the actual product was exactly the same, so Zhang Dabao bought the second batch.
Zhang Dabao stared at his phone; the red exclamation mark on the WeChat message seemed to confirm Lin Fan's statement.
"Damn it, they're trying to scam me!" Zhang Dabao immediately dialed the number of the seller of agarwood again.
After three rings, a human operator spoke on the other end of the line: The number you dialed is currently switched off.
Clearly, this person has been blocked.
Upon learning that millions had gone down the drain, Zhang Dabao felt as upset as if he had eaten poop. He lost his appetite and went straight to the police station to report the case.
"Lin Fan, how did you figure that out?"
“Amazing!”
The classmates around him looked at him with admiration, all wanting to learn a thing or two from Lin Fan.
"Lin Fan, you can even identify agarwood?" Su Ruowei asked in surprise.
"I saw it on TV; it was mentioned in a program before."
Lin Fan gave a few perfunctory replies. He couldn't very well tell these people that he had a third eye and could tell everything at a glance. Besides, he could smell the sandalwood as soon as he entered the room; his nose was even more sensitive than a dog's.
Not only agarwood, but many natural products such as plants and metals have connections between the other world and the present world, so the Heavenly Eye can distinguish between the real and the fake.
However, if it were antique calligraphy and paintings from the present world, Lin Fan would not be able to distinguish between genuine and fake, since they are man-made objects and unique to the present world.
However, antiques and unusual weapons from other worlds can also be identified.
"Lin Fan, I didn't expect you could be a bodyguard and a carpenter."
When Ou Wenxuan realized that his limelight had been stolen, he started to mock him.
"Ruowei, let's have your husband make some furniture for you another day. Wenxuan just bought a villa. Although it's not as luxurious as yours, Wenxuan earned the money through his own hard work," Xiao Ruoyun chimed in.
Suddenly, the air was thick with tension, and the students standing nearby stopped standing in line and all lowered their heads in silence.
Su Ruowei was speechless and at a loss for what to do when she suddenly noticed that Lin Fan was still playing on his phone.
"You're so carefree, why are you still playing on your phone?" Su Ruowei gently nudged Lin Fan and whispered.
"Didn't your classmate ask me for help? I'm just checking if there are any woodworking tools for sale online," Lin Fan joked.
