Chương 9: takeout
Several burly men in casual clothes were quickly closing in on Ruby.Lee from all directions.
Ruby.Lee thought to himself that he didn't intend to confront them head-on. After all, it would be better to get this matter over with as soon as possible. He had a lot of things to take care of in the next few days and couldn't always be bothered by these trifles.
More than a dozen big men surrounded Ruby.Lee tightly.
"Are you Ruby.Lee? Come with us," the leader said calmly and indifferently.
Hearing this, Ruby.Lee didn't say a word and obediently put his hands on his head and crouched on the ground.
"Since you're quite cooperative, we won't handcuff you," the man said.
Before long, they arrived at the police station.
"Ruby.Lee, you're suspected of intentional injury. Here's the evidence. Do you admit your guilt?" The captain asked with a serious look on his face.
"Yes, I admit it. They were cursing at me at that time, and I lost my temper and hit them. I'm really sorry, officer," Ruby.Lee said with a remorseful expression, looking as if he deeply regretted what he had done.
"As long as you admit it. Given your good attitude towards admitting guilt, we can handle bail pending trial for you."
"Here are the materials. Fill them out," the captain didn't deliberately make things difficult for Ruby.Lee.
Ruby.Lee quickly filled out the materials. After all, in this era, the work efficiency was quite high. Just half an hour after paying the money, all of Ruby.Lee's formalities were completed.
"You can go back now, but don't go too far away during this period. Wait for our summons at any time," the captain removed the restraints on Ruby.Lee and said.
The moment Ruby.Lee stepped out of the police station gate, the expression on his face changed completely.
"Oh my, fortunately, I held back when I hit them. If I had really killed a few people, I would have been locked up for sure."
"I really don't want to have trouble with the police officers," Ruby.Lee muttered to himself.
When Ruby.Lee first came to Huahai, he was tricked into a pyramid scheme organization in a daze. Later, when he had a chance to go out, he managed to grab a police officer and was rescued. That officer not only saved him but also generously gave him 300 yuan. Since then, Ruby.Lee had always been grateful to the police in his heart.
...
It was already 2:30 in the afternoon when Ruby.Lee came out of the police station. His stomach started growling.
"I'm already in my twenties, but I've never had a proper big meal before."
"Now that I have money in my pocket, it would be stupid not to spend it."
"If I don't spend it, it will become worthless in a few days. By then, even if you want to use it to wipe your butt, people will think it's too rough," Ruby.Lee thought to himself.
He planned to have enough big meals in the remaining days.
Opening the map app on his phone, Ruby.Lee found the nearest Michelin three-star restaurant. Coincidentally, it was just over 200 meters away, so Ruby.Lee decided to walk there directly.
Standing at the entrance of the restaurant, Ruby.Lee watched the people coming in and out. They were all dressed brightly and fashionably, and the people dining inside looked even more elegant and refined. Looking at himself, he was still wearing cheap clothes bought from street stalls.
Ruby.Lee shook his head helplessly and then walked straight in with his head held high.
As soon as he appeared, he immediately caught the attention of several waiters.
"Hello, sir. How many people are there?"
"Just me. Bring me the menu and let me have a look," Ruby.Lee said.
The waiter led Ruby.Lee to a dining table with a professional smile on his face and asked him to sit down.
"In this day and age, even bumpkins can afford to eat at Michelin restaurants? It's really a rare sight."
"Alas, why am I so unlucky? How did I get such a poor guy? It seems that I won't get any tip at all..." The waiter muttered to himself.
Not far away, several colleagues were pointing at Ruby.Lee and covering their mouths, giggling.
"Look at him. He looks so shabby. He even dares to come to our high-end place to eat..."
"Yes, there are all kinds of people these days. Look at him. He doesn't even know how to order. Hahaha..."
"Could it be that he can't even read? He's been flipping through the menu for so long and hasn't ordered a single dish. He could order by looking at the pictures..."
"Eh, he must be from the countryside. He probably thought this was a cheap stir-fry restaurant. Look at how inexperienced he is. It's so embarrassing..."
"Haha, he must have no money on him. He must have mistaken our place for a street stall. Now that he's seen our menu, he must be scared out of his wits. He can't leave or stay. It's so embarrassing. Hahaha..."
Ruby.Lee kept flipping through the menu with his fingers. With his enhanced ears, he could clearly hear the sarcastic remarks of these waiters. However, he wasn't angry. He just thought they were rather pitiful. With their salaries, they might not even earn as much as he did when he was a security guard, yet they still had the nerve to mock others here.
This Michelin three-star restaurant boasted that all the chefs were foreign chefs, and it had a rather high rating online. Ruby.Lee thought that he must have a good taste of the dishes today.
It wasn't the peak dining time at the moment, so there were still a few empty seats in the restaurant. Usually, it would be full.
"I want this, this!"
"And that one!"
"Hey, give me three portions of this. I love it!"
"And this one, two portions!"
"Give me three portions of this! Yes, yes, this one!"
"Hmm? This one is good. I'll have two portions of this too!"
Ruby.Lee ordered over forty dishes in one go.
The waiter was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. He couldn't help wondering if this guy was here to eat a free meal. Looking at how shabby he was dressed, he actually ordered so many dishes by himself.
Ruby.Lee noticed the waiter's doubts.
"Here, go ahead. I'm not the kind of person who eats a free meal," Ruby.Lee said as he took out his phone and showed the waiter the balance of his change.
"Ahaha... Sir... I didn't mean that."
"I'm just afraid that you won't be able to finish so many dishes... Ahaha..." The waiter smiled awkwardly, but he started to have other thoughts in his mind. After seeing that the balance on Ruby.Lee's change alone was in seven figures, he immediately thought that this guy must be a rich second generation. He wondered how much money was in his card. Yes, maybe he was just doing this for fun. Pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. After all, he had read so many novels. How could he not see through this trick?
Ruby.Lee didn't know that just a second ago, he was regarded as a shabby and poor loser in others' eyes, but now in the waiter's mind, he was almost an extremely noble and handsome existence...
Before long, the dishes were served one after another.
"Hey, waiter, bring me a pair of chopsticks. I'm not used to using knives and forks!" Ruby.Lee shouted loudly.
Ruby.Lee had never eaten with knives and forks. As a citizen of the Dragon Country, he was more used to using chopsticks.
With this shout, he attracted the attention of other people in the restaurant.
"Yo, where did this bumpkin come from? Don't you know you should use knives and forks to eat here?"
"What a country bumpkin. It's obvious that it's his first time in such a high-end restaurant."
"Damn it. How unlucky I am to be eating in the same restaurant with this bumpkin..."
"I really don't know which village he came from. Look at his street stall clothes. The total value of his whole outfit is probably less than 100 yuan. So shabby. It's really disgusting..."
People in the restaurant started talking about it.
Especially the two women sitting by the window. They were constantly taking pictures of Ruby.Lee with their mobile phones and then posted a short text on Jimeishu.
"Help! Today we encountered something unpleasant. Oh my god, who can understand? Today, my best friend and I dressed up beautifully and just wanted to find a place to have a meal casually. But then we came across such a disgusting man from our country."
I'm really speechless. It's so terrifying. I feel that the air has been polluted by the shabby and overconfident air of this man.
Help! Another day of being afraid of men. Seriously, don't people read guides before coming to eat? How can anyone be allowed to enter such a place?
Girls, stay away from this kind of disgusting man in the future.
Note: I'll delete bad comments."
Then they attached several high-definition photos secretly taken of Ruby.Lee. They checked the address of the Michelin three-star restaurant in Huahai City and clicked send. Done.
