Chapter 257 If You Make a Mistake, You Must Accept the Punishment!
Chapter 257 If You Make a Mistake, You Must Accept the Punishment!
"Madam, I don't care what status you hold, but on this land, if you make a mistake, you must be punished. There are eight surveillance cameras in and around my restaurant. If you think your precious daughter has done nothing wrong, I can call the police and we can all review the footage together. That way, you won't go back and accuse us of ganging up against the outnumbered!"
The rotund owner spoke with compelling righteousness, causing some confusion in the white mother and daughter; they were regulars of the restaurant, and whenever the owner was available, he would personally attend to them.
That attitude, that level of service, could be described as nothing short of grand.
But what was happening today?
This little chubby man was actually turning around to scold them because of a man! Did this bear any semblance to the treatment of international friends?!
The white girl's eyes blazed with anger as she felt her dignity was being challenged, while her mother sensed that something was amiss.
Could it be that the man who had been attracting attention all this time was actually very powerful?

A serious expression flickered in the woman's eyes as she pulled the owner aside and asked straightforwardly, "Who is that young man?"
"You're from the Beautiful Country, you must be aware of Mountains and Waters Corporation, right? That gentleman is their largest shareholder!"
After the owner finished speaking, he went back into the crowd, hearing murmurs like, "Boss, you can't let yourself be swayed by sweet talk and lose your sense of reason," and other such comments.
With a decisive wave of his hand, the owner declared, "Our restaurant is resolutely patriotic and will never act inferior to anyone!"
Mountains and Waters Corporation...
Panic flooded the woman's heart; it was a company where various powers converged, and crossing just one shareholder could bring a deluge of capital strikes!
And the young man before her was indeed their biggest shareholder!
Wait a second... She seemed to remember hearing something about this from her husband, the one with the largest shares in Mountains and Waters Corporation in Magic Capital... Wasn't he the damn richest man in Magic Capital?!!!
No wonder this young man was so confident. Not to mention an officer's wife like her, even the ambassador's wife wouldn't stand a chance!
She felt somewhat relieved that she hadn't yet managed to make the call before the owner interrupted her!
It's not as if foreigners can act recklessly in Hua Country; the moment they offend someone they shouldn't, the first to slap them would be from their own consulate.
Although the woman was an officer's wife, if it really came to a head-to-head, her husband's career prospects would undoubtedly be cut short!
So the woman caved, and she caved completely. At that moment, she desperately wanted to escape.
The white girl didn't understand why her mother's face had changed so drastically after the conversation with the owner.
She tugged at her mother's clothes and shouted, "Mommy, why haven't you called Dad yet?"
At that remark, the woman's face, already pale, aged a few more years.
What else could she do?
Was she really going to call her husband so that their whole family could go back to the consulate and get a slap in the face from the ambassador?
Or should she tell her daughter that even if the entire consulate came, they would still have to apologize to this young man with a smile?
People like them could throw their weight around with common folk or small business owners, but they were nothing in front of Song Yun!
Because Song Yun was Magic Capital's richest man! And this was in Hua Country; if it were in the Beautiful Country, the power of capital could reach the heavens!
The woman knew that staying here would only lead to a great loss. She grabbed her daughter's hand and tried to slip away quietly.
But the white girl, never having encountered a situation like this in Hua Country, stood her ground stubbornly. She even wanted to call her father to use their privileged status to teach Song Yun a lesson.
"Thinking of leaving just like that?"
Song Yun sneered and said, "The officer's wife really thinks too highly of herself!"
Today's loss was set in stone!
She bowed slightly, struggling to maintain the pride that came with being a member of the consulate, and said, "Sorry...."
"What gibberish, I can't understand that!"
The woman clenched her fists, her long nails nearly embedding into her palms, she cast her eyes downward, took several deep breaths to calm herself, and then said, "I'm sorry!"
"To be a parent and not discipline your child is negligence in itself! You've made your apology, what about your daughter's?"
Hearing Song Yun's words, the woman quickly tugged at her daughter's arm and said, "Lucy, apologize to this gentleman right now!"
Lucy's attitude was extremely defiant, with her arms crossed and a disdainful expression, she said, "I refuse!"
Song Yun clapped his hands slowly and said, "If you don't apologize, don't even think about leaving this restaurant, and it's useless even if your superiors come to find me!"
With a lead, the whole restaurant became excited and began shouting:
"Apologize!"
"Apologize now!"
"First, you knocked over the little girl, and then you insulted Hua Country. If you can't even apologize, I suggest she be deported tomorrow!"
Apologize?
What a foreign concept!
In Lucy's eyes, this was the ultimate symbol of humiliation!
Her mother might be compelled by certain pressures to utter an apology, but she, as a young representative of the proud nation, would never apologize to these people!
"Lucy, listen to your mom! Apologizing to this gentleman is not a disgrace!"
The woman was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, noticing that the time for the consulate's daily roll call was approaching, and if she didn't return on time, the situation could escalate dramatically!
Yet her daughter still faced the entire restaurant with silence.
The woman was grinding her teeth, unable to understand how Lucy, after just one summer in the proud nation, had come back acting so wildly out of line!
She could no longer care about keeping face, grabbed her daughter by the shoulders, and slapped her across the face.
In the proud nation, parents hitting their children could end up in court facing the police and losing their custody rights, so it was rare for parents and children to come to blows.
Lucy was stunned by the slap, standing frozen for a long time, unable to recover.
"Apologize!"
Lucy, holding her face with her eyes brimming red, yelled resentfully at Song Yun, "I'm sorry!"
Under Song Yun's stern demands, the white mother and daughter finally bowed their "noble" heads.
I believe, with the crowd's word of mouth spreading, this mother and daughter would be too ashamed to dine in this restaurant ever again!
The white mother and daughter fled, and the restaurant erupted into wild applause. They saw a young man who could stand up against authority as the backbone of the country, the hope of the nation!
"Today's incident has caused everyone a negative experience, I've decided to offer a 30% discount for the entire venue, hoping everyone can eat and drink well!"
The chubby owner, smiling and patting his belly, said.
The crowd cheered enthusiastically, surprised to save money after watching a big scene, feeling that coming out today was worth it!
"Mr. Song, from now on, all of your and the two ladies' expenses at this restaurant will be on the house!"
The owner was feeling very uneasy at this moment, unsure if his words had managed to make an impression on Song Yun.
"Have we met before, boss?"
Song Yun didn't blame the restaurant at all; after all, they were trying to make a living by running a business, and he had a good impression of the owner, who had taken a clear stand earlier.
