Chapter 99

At this moment, everyone's eyes were filled with fervor.

Zhang Dong was just like a hero in a movie, standing up against the evil forces when no one else dared to.

More importantly, when the even more formidable evil force, Brother Hu and his gang, appeared, Zhang Dong easily repelled Brother Hu and then revealed his mysterious side!

He casually sent a WeChat message, and someone Brother Hu feared actually showed up.

In everyone's eyes, Liu Yun naturally became a very terrifying and cold-blooded female boss; otherwise, she wouldn't have scared Brother Hu so much.

Those who only fight recklessly can be called brave, but they can also be called reckless.

Only someone like Zhang Dong, who not only fights well but also has courage and strategy, can be called a hero!

The next second, the entire barbecue restaurant erupted in thunderous cheers.

"Amazing, amazing! So amazing!"

"Hero, you're awesome! You even scared off those hooligans!"

"Hero, you're great, I admire you!"

"Young man, you're so impressive. There aren't many young men like you nowadays!"

...

As for the restaurant manager, he ran to Zhang Dong with an excited face, bowing repeatedly to express his gratitude.

The reason the manager thanked Zhang Dong was purely because of the words Zhang Dong said to Brother Hu as he left.

Given Brother Hu's attitude towards Zhang Dong, it was likely that Brother Hu wouldn't dare to harass their restaurant again.

For the manager, this was a tremendous favor.

"Sir! All your expenses today in our restaurant will be waived! Additionally..."

The manager said excitedly.

As he spoke, he turned to look at Li Menglin behind Zhang Dong, hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly slapped his thigh.

"As for Li Menglin, she usually works at our restaurant on weekends, earning 100 yuan per day. But starting today, her daily wage will be adjusted to 500 yuan!"

Upon hearing this, Li Menglin was stunned.

She worked at the barbecue restaurant for eight days a month. If her daily wage was 500 yuan, that would add up to 4,000 yuan a month!

She was currently a regular employee at a bank, and her monthly salary plus bonuses amounted to only 6,000 yuan.

But the barbecue restaurant had just increased her monthly income by 4,000 yuan!

This way, Li Menglin's monthly income would reach over 10,000 yuan, making it easy to repay her family's monthly debts and even save some money to improve her and her mother's living standards.

Li Menglin couldn't help but shed tears as she looked at Zhang Dong. She knew very well that all of this was because of Zhang Dong.

If Zhang Dong hadn't promised to keep Brother Hu's people from harassing the restaurant where Li Menglin worked, the manager wouldn't have given her such a raise.

"That's great! Let's settle it this way!" Zhang Dong smiled calmly. "From now on, Li Menglin will work part-time here. If Brother Hu's people dare to cause trouble again, have Li Menglin notify me, and I'll take care of it!"

Upon hearing Zhang Dong's words, the manager's eyes lit up.

Their barbecue restaurant had good business, and 4,000 yuan, though not a small amount, was still manageable.

Brother Hu's people were often unruly, frequently causing trouble at the restaurant, and each incident resulted in losses far exceeding 4,000 yuan.

With Zhang Dong's assurance, they no longer had to worry about Brother Hu's people causing trouble at their restaurant!

"Great, great, great! Sir, please continue your meal! I'll go to the kitchen and prepare our premium wagyu beef! Li Menglin, you don't need to work for now. Join this gentleman for dinner, and you can leave together after the meal. Today counts as full attendance!" the manager said with a smile.

After saying that, he ran to the kitchen, while the other diners still lingered around Zhang Dong, wanting to chat with him.

Seeing this, Zhang Dong smiled at everyone. "Everyone, please enjoy your meals! What I did isn't that big of a deal, but don't try to imitate it easily. After all, some hooligans are indeed extremely vicious. In similar situations, you can choose to call the police."

Everyone was not foolish; hearing Zhang Dong's words, they all nodded in agreement.

There are many people who want to be heroes, but being a hero isn't that easy!

Without the necessary skills, trying to be a hero will only make you a target!

Take the red-haired guy, for example.

Don't forget that he was holding a machete!

If Zhang Dong hadn't recently practiced the Tiger Claw technique, which allowed him to easily catch the machete with two fingers, it would have been difficult to handle the situation.

Ordinary people would be even more helpless against the red-haired guy. If they provoked him, he might really injure or even kill someone!

Because of this, Zhang Dong didn't recommend that these people imitate him. Encouraging them to do so would be no different from inciting them to commit suicide!

After dispersing the diners, Zhang Dong and the others returned to their seats.

The table had been cleaned, and a new grill and seasonings were provided.

"Great, I was just thinking I hadn't eaten enough and wanted to order more, but I didn't expect there to be wagyu beef!" Zhang Dong said with a smile.

Zhang Zhaodi, sitting opposite him, shrugged. "You guys eat, I'm almost full."

"Sister Zhaodi, try our restaurant's wagyu beef. It's really delicious!" Li Menglin said with a smile.

Zhang Zhaodi nodded. "Alright, since Menglin says I should try it, I'll try it! Dongzi, don't just focus on eating yourself. Give Menglin the first piece when the meat is ready."

As she said this, Zhang Zhaodi's face showed a meaningful smile.

This made Li Menglin even more shy, lowering her head and not knowing what to say.

Zhang Dong couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Sister, you're really nosy. If you keep this up, I won't eat and will go buy a meat sandwich next door."

"Hehe, okay, okay! I won't tease you two anymore. Look, the manager is personally bringing the wagyu beef," Zhang Zhaodi said with a laugh.

Zhang Dong and Li Menglin turned to look and indeed saw the manager smiling as he carried a plate of wagyu beef towards them.

Behind him, several female waitresses followed, each holding various barbecue ingredients.

Observing these waitresses, one could see that they were all looking at Li Menglin with envious eyes.

They were so envious! Envious that Li Menglin could know such a handsome hero like Zhang Dong!

Not only was he tall and handsome, but he was also very brave. When he called Liu Yun over, it showed how mysterious and deep he was.

To the waitresses, Zhang Dong was like a prince from a fairy tale!

Unfortunately, the prince Zhang Dong had already set his sights on someone else, leaving them only to envy.

"Sir, please enjoy your meal! From now on, you and your friends will receive a 50% discount when you come to our restaurant!" the manager said with a flattering smile.

A 50% discount was a significant offer!

After deducting rent, labor, and ingredient costs, the barbecue restaurant probably wouldn't make much profit.

Zhang Dong nodded and smiled. "Alright! Thank you, Manager!"

There was no need for Zhang Dong to refuse such an offer. On the contrary, if he refused, the manager would feel uneasy.
