This issue, Jin Qiwei had actually thought about it for a long time.

But he was always like a ninja, never bringing it up.

Now that the two of them sat down in the restaurant, he naturally could speak up.

"Let's wait until after we eat to talk, the issue is a bit complex, I want to discuss it over a drink," Chen Yang thought for a moment and didn't directly start talking.

Seeing that Chen Yang said so, Jin Qiwei felt it wasn't appropriate to ask.

So he could only smile and talk to Chen Yang about other things.

Their topic, besides the village project, indeed wasn't much else.

Therefore, throughout their conversation, Jin Qiwei and Chen Yang were almost exclusively discussing the village project.

As a shareholder in the village project, Jin Qiwei naturally had the right to know the details, so Chen Yang didn't hide anything and truthfully informed Jin Qiwei about the situation in the village.

Jin Qiwei was very happy to hear that the village was being built so quickly.

He had invested so much after all and naturally hoped that Lianhe Village would be completed and turn a profit as soon as possible.

"Chen Yang brother, the village project still depends on you to be more attentive, with such a big deal, I can't really help with anything other than providing money," Jin Qiwei said with a smile.

"Of course, you provide the funds and I'll put in the effort, we'll cooperate and each fulfill our duties," Chen Yang nodded, also courteous to Jin Qiwei.

They talked for quite a while, and when they ran out of topics, it happened that a team of waiters was walking over to them with dishes.

Seeing the waiters, Chen Yang and Jin Qiwei both thought their dishes were starting to be served.

But unexpectedly, the waiters walked right past them and delivered the dishes to the private room next to them.

Seeing this, both Chen Yang and Jin Qiwei frowned simultaneously.

Because they both remembered that the people in the private room behind them clearly came later.

Their dishes hadn't been served yet, so how could the private room's be served first?

"Waiter."

Chen Yang frowned and immediately called out.

Soon, a waiter came over.

"Sir, is there anything you need help with?" the waiter still asked very politely.

"We've been waiting for a long time, why haven't we been served?" Chen Yang asked, slightly displeased.

Upon hearing this, the waiter's expression was slightly embarrassed: "Sorry sir, maybe there are too many guests at lunchtime, the kitchen is a bit overwhelmed, I'll help urge them, does that sound okay?"

The waiter's attitude was good, and Chen Yang didn't want to make a fuss, so he nodded, agreeing.

Seeing Chen Yang nod, the waiter apologized again and then left.

After the waiter left, Chen Yang and Jin Qiwei expected the dishes to be served soon.

But unexpectedly, ten minutes passed, and still no dishes were served.

Even if they hadn't been served, the dishes in the private room next door kept coming without stop.

This restaurant was originally his own, so Chen Yang really didn't want to care too much.

But seeing that the private room that came later was being served continuously, while he and Jin Qiwei had waited for half an hour and not even a single dish had come.

Who can bear that?

"Waiter."

Chen Yang called for the waiter again.

The same waiter came over.

"Sorry sir, there are some special circumstances in the restaurant today, and the dishes for your table might take a little longer, truly sorry." This time, the waiter apologized as soon as she came over, with a very sincere attitude.

But sincerity doesn't mean that Chen Yang and the others have to wait stupidly.

If it truly was first come, first served from a busy kitchen, Chen Yang wouldn't have said anything.

But the later arrivals kept being served, which made him very displeased.

"Special circumstances? Then why is the private room being served? If I remember correctly, didn't the people in the private room come after us?" Chen Yang asked displeased.

"This..." The waiter was left speechless by Chen Yang and could only keep apologizing.

Seeing the waiter looking sincerely aggrieved, Chen Yang felt slightly sorry.

After all, she was just a waiter, it wasn't her fault.

It wouldn't do any good to make things difficult for her.

So Chen Yang said, "Stop apologizing to me, get your manager, I need to talk to him."

"Al... alright." The waiter, somewhat flustered, quickly turned to find the manager upon hearing Chen Yang's words.

"Chen Yang brother, why did you choose this restaurant? There are special circumstances for serving dishes? It seems like blatant preferential treatment," Jin Qiwei was also very displeased at this moment.

Having waited for over half an hour without being served, it was obviously preferential treatment.

He had been thinking about discussing serious matters with Chen Yang, so he was very upset by this.

Hearing his words, Chen Yang also felt a bit embarrassed.

After all, it was he who chose the place.

"Let's ask the manager, we'll talk about it later," Chen Yang said.

"Hm." Jin Qiwei responded, without saying more.

After another two to three minutes, a man in a suit, looking somewhat spirited, came over.

From the badge on his chest, it was clear that he was the restaurant's manager.

"Gentlemen, I'm really sorry about this, there are some special circumstances in the restaurant today, which delayed the serving of your dishes, please wait a bit longer, I've already instructed the kitchen to serve your food as soon as possible," the manager came over with a relatively pleasant attitude, just like the waiter, starting with an apology.

"Special circumstances? Manager, what exactly are the special circumstances you mentioned? Is there something particular about the people in the private room that they need to be served first?" Chen Yang asked, displeased.

"Aren't you worried about losing your reputation by favoring certain customers in your business?" Jin Qiwei also spoke up, questioning the manager.

The manager initially had a rather good tone.

But after hearing what Chen Yang and Jin Qiwei said, his expression turned unkind.

"Gentlemen, the matters concerning the people in the private room are not for you to inquire about, anyway, I have my reasons," he responded unpleasantly to Chen Yang and then looked at Jin Qiwei and said, "As for how to run this business, that's not something you need to worry about, right? Our restaurant, River Fish Pavilion, is quite famous, what's wrong with asking you to wait a bit?"

"It's not to the extent of ruining our reputation, is it?"

The manager's words were full of hostility.

The whole thing was provocatively phrased.

Honestly, hearing these words, both Chen Yang and Jin Qiwei were momentarily stunned.

They really didn't expect the manager to speak to them in such a manner.

Who exactly is the customer here, and who is the service provider?

"Ha." Chen Yang was so upset that he laughed.

"So you're saying that because you're the manager, this restaurant is your domain, and you can serve whoever you want, is that it?" Chen Yang asked with a smile.

The manager thought for a moment upon hearing Chen Yang's words, then decisively nodded: "Yes, that's roughly what I mean, so what? Do you have a problem with it?"

"If you have a problem, you can leave, it's not like we lack your patronage," the manager shrugged nonchalantly.

"You!" Jin Qiwei, already angered, saw this arrogant attitude and could not hold back.

He slapped the table and stood up, ready to escalate the conflict.
