It was an empty table, why can't I sit here?
If it were anywhere else, it would be understandable. But what kind of bar doesn't let their guests sit at an unoccupied table? It was the same as a restaurant that didn't allow their customers to eat!
Liu Yanbo has lived for twenty-six years. Although he didn't like going to bars, that doesn't mean that he has never been to one. This was the first time something like this happened to him.
"Sir, please get up, you can't sit here." The two black security guards came over. Although they said please, their tone was far from polite.
Tianshui Bar was full of people tonight, standing or sitting, the originally spacious place was crowded. In fact, it was almost impossible to not step on someone's foot at least once.
But what was strange was that there was no one within one meter of the circular table. Liu Yanbo didn't notice this at first, but now he did, and he also noticed his own position.
The bar guests that were around, all had their attention focused on him, and were looking at him as if he was an idiot.
When Liu Yanbo sat down, except for the surrounding people, it didn't attract any more attention. But acute Wang Yingying saw it, and her face paled with fear. She hurried over and shouted: "Brother Liu, you can't sit there! Hurry up and come!"
Liu Yanbo got up with an awkward smile and walked away from the round table. He was still confused as to why he couldn't sit there, but what could he do? He didn't want to be seen as an idiot.
"Are they guarding this table for someone?" Liu Yanbo walked to Wang Yingying and asked in a low voice.
Wang Yingying just nodded, and then went to the two guards and explained: "Brothers, my friend here doesn't know the rules in our bar, just let it go this time, okay?"
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it." Liu Yanbo also apologized.
Even if it was a reserved table, Liu Yanbo thought it wouldn't be a big deal to just sit there for a while. After all, when they did come, he would readily get up.
But things didn't seem so simple.
Although Wang Yingying was explaining, it sounded more like she was begging the two security guards.
Liu Yanbo wasn't sure what was going on. But he didn't want to cause trouble to Wang Yingying. He apologized again, even more sincere.
After listening to Wang Yingying's explanation and Liu Yanbo's sincere apology, the two black security guards' cold expression slowly eased. Finally, it seemed that they no longer intended to pursue it.
But there would always be enemies around who would try and hurt you when there was a chance.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoyun suddenly emerged from nowhere, sneered and said: "Who does he think he is?! He's just a taxi driver, yet he still has the nerve to sit there? How can a guy be so full of himself! And to think he can just go, without any consequences?!"
Zhang Xiaoyun's voice was very loud, and everyone around heard her clearly. The crowd and bypassers stopped to watch the scene as if watching a show, and were very curious to see Liu Yanbo's reaction.
That was just how people are. What did I expect?
How could Liu Yanbo have known where he could or couldn't sit? Even if he did sit where he shouldn't, a worker could just tell him and that would be enough. Moreover, as a consumer, he still took the initiative to apologize, what else did you want from him?
It was better now but, Wang Yingying suddenly jumped out of nowhere and spoke nonsense because of her personal grudge. Not to mention that she was a bar employee too. What kind of treatment was this?
In front of everyone, she tried humiliating Liu Yanbo, emphasizing the taxi driver part.
Most people were looking over with amused or oblivious expressions. In their mind, now Liu Yanbo only had two choices to make, either protest and go back to the round table, or accept and quietly turn away to leave.
But what disappointed most people was the fact that Liu Yanbo wasn't the first to react.
"Sister Yun, how could you say that about Brother Liu?" Lin Xue was extremely dissatisfied.
Lin Xue came with Zhang Xiaoyun here, out of everyone, she was the one that cared the most for him. But she was too kind, and she was never the type to be confrontational.
Zhang Xiaoyun was not kind at all, she sneered: "Did I say anything wrong?"
"Shut up!" Wang Yingying scolded.
Zhang Xiaoyun was feeling very betrayed. Her friends were unhappy with her, and even the two black security guards turned to look at her with extremely disapproving expressions.
She was not only embarrassing Liu Yanbo but also ruining Tianshui Bar's good image.
Zhang Xiaoyun wasn't affected by what Wang Yingying said, she expected this. But when the two security guards turned their heads and stared at her, it scared her a lot.
Zhang Xiaoyun involuntarily stepped back two steps, looked down, and didn't dare to speak again.
Everyone around still observed Liu Yanbo. Lin Xue silently walked over to him and held his hand that was used to hold the bottle.
Lin Xue didn't know how to comfort others, but she was telling Liu Yanbo in her own way: no matter what kind of decision you make, I will support you.
Liu Yanbo lit a cigarette and said with a smile, "it was just a seat, is it worth all this trouble? I just won't sit down tonight."
Wasn't this too shameful for men?
The onlookers shook their heads, and even Wang Yingying and the two security guards felt a little awkward. Zhang Xiaoyun smiled with pride, her eyes scornful.
Only Lin Xue was distressed. In her eyes, all her brothers were dragons among people. The reason why Brother Liu endured being looked down on was because he wanted to avoid trouble in her workplace.
With this thought, she clenched her hands and whispered: "Brother Liu, I don't want to work here anymore."
Lin Xue didn't want to be Liu Yanbo's burden.
Liu Yanbo understood Lin Xue's meaning. However, in his perception, a good brother shouldn't ask his sister to lose her job just because of his own emotions.
Liu Yanbo patted Lin Xue's hand gently and said: "It's okay, your elder brother has thick skin. Their words don't bother me."
Lin Xue opened her mouth, and before she could speak—
A charming and enchanting voice rang from the stairs, "they can't allow you to sit, but I can."
What kind of woman was this?
It was a rose-like woman, so beautiful and fascinating. But a rose had its thorns, to keep away all the coveting people.
The crowd spread apart and cleared a passage. The woman in a red dress standing at the stairway gently walked down, with elegance, and stopped in front of Liu Yanbo.
The music stopped, the noisy crowd became quiet, and even the sound of breathing nearby was no longer heavy.
The colorful lanterns were turned off and the bright headlights were turned on.
All the eyes in the bar gathered to this rose-like woman.
She instantly became the center of attention, shining brightly as if under a spotlight.
The employees at Tianshui Bar bowed their heads to show respect—
"Boss…"
