"Boss, Coleman, please calm down. Let me have a talk with him." Amara also interceded and started to communicate with Bruno in English. She told him that it was because of their arrogance and bias against Chinese customers that Conrad and Coleman felt like being offended.
However, Bruno turned a deaf ear to her words while claiming how great the restaurant had been under his leadership.
"I need to issue a letter of complaint against you!" Even Amara, such a kind and tender girl, was rendered mad by his stubbornness.
"My boss now lives in France. I am sure he will also support me if he knows what I am doing." Bruno still insisted arrogantly.
However, Conrad suddenly realized that Bruno only worked for someone else instead of owning the restaurant on his own. While the owner still lived abroad. He really got mad as being offended by such a staff.
"You are all not welcomed here! Please pay the bill and leave right away!" Bruno warned.
"Are you kidding me? We are here just for dinner! How dare you drive us away!" Coleman stood up to argue with him.
"Rude Chinese guys! I am going to call the police!" Bruno threatened.
Conrad sneered as he had figured out how to teach him a lesson. He then stopped Coleman, who was getting mad, and said, "Coleman, there is no need to argue. Let me handle this."
Conrad clicked on the app and started to see the newly updated property section. Soon, he found the property information about this restaurant.
Francis Restaurant (property right ON SALE), located at No. 12, Xinming Road, BH City, Cover Area: 650 m2, Estimated Price: 9,200,000, Discounted Price: 2 yuan, Discount Credit: 2!
The restaurant was even worth about ten million. Most of the value originated from the premise. And Conrad also had enough credits to get it.
So Conrad immediately clicked to purchase the property right of this restaurant.
'The property right is being transferred. Estimated Time: 40 seconds. You will then gain the right to manage all staffs here and also the ownership.' Soon, Conrad saw the notice on the app.
Conrad just asked both of them to calm down and sit down. 40 seconds later, there would be a nice show.
'Property right GAINED! Congratulation! Now you officially own Francis Restaurant!' Another notice appeared again.
"Okay, now you are fired!" Conrad stood up and said.
"Please don't!" Bruno suddenly kneeled down and begged sadly, "I need this well-paid job! I have my wife and kids to support and also my parents and grandparents who are all old and ill. Besides, I need to pay the tuitions for all my four kids! I need my salary to live my life!"
Bruno kept saying the stereotypical type of excuse to beg for mercy.
Amara, who had been a kindhearted girl, whispered to Conrad, "Boss, just forgive him this time. He will be really poor if fired. Besides, you need to pay a big sum of dismissal wage for firing him."
Conrad thought for a while and agreed. After all, dismissal would be too rude to him. The key point was to make him realized that he was wrong.
"Okay, you can stay. But now you are demoted to be the doorman because you don't know how to serve well. Get to the gate to receive customers and address every man you see as Mr. and every lady you see as Ms. Do remember to say 'Thank you for your patronage, welcome next time!' to every customer who walked out of the door! Do you understand?" Conrad said sternly.
"Yes, sir!" Bruno nodded. He could do everything he could to keep the job. Actually, he came to China because he found no job in France.
Conrad still deemed it not enough for punishment. So he bought a suit of uniform for traditional Chinese waiter on the app—ancient-styled plain suit with a ragged towel on his shoulder.
"Put it on and get to the gate to receive guests!" Conrad then threw him the uniform.
