Chapter 327 - Arrogant Faang Ying


    Faang Ying swelled with pride as he watched the crowd approach him with great reverence. He cleared his throat and straightened his attire. With his hands sped behind his back, he strode forward, head high and chest out.


    Su Ming couldn''t help but find the sight amusing. He decided to quietly observe Faang Ying''s cool demeanor.


    Before Lee Dahai could utter a word, he caught Su Ming shaking his head. Su Ming shot him a significant look, then cast a sidelong nce at Faang Ying. Lee Dahai paused, then realized Su Ming didn''t want him to reveal the truth.


    Grasping Faang Ying''s hand, Lee Dahai greeted him with respect, “Sir, your visit truly honors our establishment!”


    ?Faang Ying was taken aback. It was his first time in Eastsea City, his first time at this restaurant, and his first time meeting Lee Dahai. Yet, Lee Dahai greeted him with such warmth and respect. He quickly reciprocated the handshake.


    “Manager Lee, I appreciate the personal wee. Thank you!” Faang Ying was visibly smug.


    ?Su Ming walked behind, barely containing hisughter.


    ?Xiao Ke''er and Xiao Chen were quite astute. They had noticed Su Ming''s subtle cue to Lee Dahai. They instantly grasped the truth and struggled to suppress their giggles. The effort to stifleughter was almost unbearable.


    They were all in on the secret except for Faang Ying. Their deceit was palpable. Oblivious, Faang Ying continued to bask in his cool facade, unaware of their suppressed mirth.


    ?”You are a distinguished guest. Your presence at our shop fills us with immense joy,” Lee Dahai continued tovish praise on Faang Ying. His ttery, though, was intended for Su Ming''s ears, not Faang Ying''s.


    But Faang Ying was none the wiser. He stood taller, his pride growing. He gave Su Ming a haughty look and snorted dismissively, clearly feeling superior in the pursuit of Xiao Ke''er''s attention.


    “Manager Lee, you''re too kind. We''ve been acquainted for many years, and we even shared drinks in the capital recently. We''re old friends; there''s no need for such formality.”


    ?Faang Ying continued to strut around with an air of self-importance. Lee Dahai''s badge disyed his name and position, so Faang Ying was able to identify him easily. After listening to Faang Ying''s antics, Lee Dahai felt nauseated. He was at his limit. Not having eaten yet, thest thing he wanted was to throw up. He had never met Faang Ying before and was certain that Faang Ying was fabricating stories.


    ?Su Ming and hispanions struggled to contain theirughter, nearly running out of breath. Lee Dahai let out a quiet sigh, feeling secondhand embarrassment for Faang Ying. Since Su Ming remained silent, Lee Dahai chose not to call out Faang Ying''s bluff just yet.


    ?”I was so caught up in the moment that I forgot to invite you inside, leaving you standing at the door for so long. Please,e in,” Lee Dahai said with a warm chuckle. “Manager Liu, please escort these esteemed guests to the VIP room upstairs. I''ll personally prepare some appetizers for them.”


    “Manager Lee, I appreciate your efforts,” Faang Ying said, pping Lee Dahai on the shoulder with a grin. He strode inside, visibly pleased with himself. Once Faang Ying had turned away, Lee Dahai couldn''t help but roll his eyes.


    He noticed Su Minggging behind and approached him cautiously. In a hushed tone, he asked, “Boss, why are you letting this happen?”


    ?Su Ming gave a nonchnt smile. “Just remember, you don''t know me, and he will be footing the bill for the meal.”


    Lee Dahai caught on immediately. “Got it!” he eximed, pping his thigh in a burst of tion. He began to feel a twinge of pity for Faang Ying.


    Unaware of the snareid out for him, Faang Ying was basking in his perceived triumph. “Do you all think my cool demeanor is wless?” he boasted.


    ?Su Ming and the others exchanged nces before quickly nodding in agreement with Faang Ying. They soon reached the most secluded and opulent private room on the third floor. Lee Dahai, having prepped his staff, greeted Faang Ying with a beaming smile.


    ?”Mr. Faang, having you visit us in person is a great honor. The rest of you, please excuse us. Mr. Faang, feel free to tell me directly what you''d like to eat and drink,” Lee Dahai offered graciously.


    ?”You''re too kind!” Faang Ying beamed, clearly delighted. With Lee Dahai, the restaurant''s general manager, personally attending to him as a waiter, Faang Ying''s arrogance knew no bounds.
