Luo Chen, like all the other customers, was confused.
Qiao Qing tapped her fingers against her forehead and ordered, “Go get the surveillance recordings.”
Everyone was once again puzzled by this.
“Didn’t you already get the videos?”
“Yeah, we all watched it together. There are no issues!”
Tian Zhen now looked at Qiao Qing in disdain, “Are you an idiot? Didn’t you see the video with everyone else? Are you telling us the video was fake? The employees of Jing Li Xuan were the ones who found and played the video, not us!”
Many people nodded in agreement. No way Jing Li Xuan’s own people would play a fake video.
Against everyone’s skepticism, Qiao Qing remained cold, “I’m telling you to get the recordings from the kitchen. Find all the videos from the time the food was cooked, to the time the food landed on this table.”
Her words made Yi Shiqiong tighten her fist as she felt some anxiety.
Nobody knew better than her what she did during that time frame.
She said to Qiao Qing, “Don’t you think you’re sticking your nose in too far in others’ business? We don’t even associate ourselves with you anymore, so how dare you try to stir up trouble for us? Please, tell me, how does this whole thing involve you? Are you related to Jing Li Xuan? What right do you have to talk on Jing Li Xuan’s behalf?”
“Exactly!” Tian Zhen chimed in, “You think just because you are famous for some things, you can control everything?! This is between senior Yi and Jing Li Xuan. It’s none of your business! You started trying to help Jing Li Xuan the moment you entered just so you can butt heads against senior Yi!”
“Just because some unpleasant things happened between you two, now you’re holding a grudge? As a student of UCC, how dare you stand on a corporation’s side and attack senior Yi? People like you sure are shameless!”
Luo Chen cursed, “You’re the one who’s shameless! Who’s the one holding a grudge? Did you forget that Qingqing didn’t even remember you two when she first saw you? Who do you think you are? You aren’t worthy enough for Qingqing to care! She doesn’t even remember your names!”
Yi Shiqiong and Tian Zhen’s faces turned ugly yet again.
Tian Zhen muttered, “Then why wouldn’t she let Senior Yi go? How is today’s event any of her business?! Why is she sticking her nose in others’ businesses?!”
Luo Chen choked back. Others also nodded.
It was true that this was someone else’s restaurant. Qiao Qing got a bit too invovled.
Just then, Qiao Qing said, “This is my restaurant. Why can’t I speak?”
Her words stunned everyone.
Song Zixuan’s upper management, as well as employees like Chen Lan, all sighed in relief.
Song Zixuan, “My boss, you finally admitted to being one of us!”
Chen Lan cried happy tears, “Little boss, you’re finally done being low key?! Do you know how hard it has been for us to watch these clueless and shameless people talk down on you? If it weren’t for you stepping out just now, I would’ve slapped their faces!”
Song Zixuan and Chen Lan’s words petrified Yi Shiqiong and Tian Zhen.
Of course, Luo Chen froze as well.
Everyone else began to boil.
“Gimme a second to process. The mysterious boss of Jing Li Xuan is a little girl? Am I dreaming?”
“Unbelievable! Jing Li Xuan’s been open for five years, she must’ve been so young back then! Yet she was good enough to overpower the four influential families here?”
“Even the manager admitted to it, how can it be fake?!”
“A best-selling author, the God of Racing, the God of Martial Arts, and now it’s exposed that she’s the boss of Jing Li Xuan?! She’s a legend!”
“What a satisfying slap in the face! Just now, those two were saying she had no right to interfere. She’s the boss! What’s wrong with her speaking on behalf of the restaurant!?”
