They had agreed to use the arowana but in the end, they served carp instead. Lin Jin had his reasons for saying there was a problem with the fish but he didn't plan to make a big deal out of it. He just wanted to have a meal and ask the waiter to serve a more suitable dish.
Of course, he couldn't just make do with it. The dish Lin Jin ordered this time had a spirit energy balance. If he didn't eat the arowana, the balance would be disrupted and it would no longer be beneficial to his body.
Lin Jin didn't plan on causing trouble but Zhang Baili wasn't happy about it.
Secretly changing dishes was a restaurant's biggest taboo. Now that he had done it, he didn't want anyone to know about it. Of course, if there was an extra arowana, it wouldn't be a big deal. But there was only one arowana left and he had to serve it to the customers in the private room. No matter what, he couldn't change it.
If he did, it would only make him look guilty.
The best way was to bluff his way out of this and deny it.
"Symphony Restaurant is a century-old restaurant. How could they possibly serve the wrong dish? Sir, this is the premium vinegar dragonfish you ordered. Stop trying to cause trouble," Zhang Baili said coldly.
To most people, he wouldn't have the guts to say this, but to Lin Jin, he did.
Symphony Restaurant was located very close to the Beast Appraisal Association. Most of the customers here were members of the association so Zhang Baili was very familiar with the administrative and logistical staff of the association. Dong He from the logistics department was one of Zhang Baili's frequent customers.
From Dong He, Zhang Baili had heard rumors about Lin Jin.
Although Lin Jin was certified as an official beast appraiser in the Beast Appraisal Association, he had been completely marginalized. Moreover, he had even caused an appraisal accident. If things went smoothly, he would soon be stripped of his qualifications. He might not even be able to work as a temp anymore.
Why should Zhang Baili care about someone like this?
Hence, Lin Jin was unscrupulous.
Lin Jin shook his head at the man's words and said, "You're the manager. You should be responsible for your words."
"What? Are you threatening me? Let me tell you, Symphony Restaurant has encountered all kinds of people. If you're eating obediently, we welcome you. But if you're here to cause trouble, this isn't a place for you to behave atrociously. " Zhang Baili's attitude was tough. As he spoke, he waved his hand and called a few thugs from the restaurant over.
As a restaurant owner, it was inevitable to encounter people who wanted to dine and dash, so they definitely had a way to deal with them. Equipping a few thugs with decent skills was the best choice.
This time, Lu Xiaoyun and Zhao Ying couldn't stand it anymore.
"How can your restaurant be like a black shop? We only wanted you to confirm if the dishes below were served correctly, yet you treat your customers like this. This is simply preposterous."
Zhang Baili decided to shed all pretense of cordiality. "Young lady, watch your words. If this man hadn't insisted on picking a fight with us, we wouldn't have done this. Besides, everyone has heard of Appraiser Lin's reputation. I've heard that he's poor. This table of dishes costs at least twenty taels of silver. Can he afford it? Don't tell me you're trying to eat and dash with this excuse? "
This time, Lin Jin's expression darkened.
Just then, the dishes were served. They were also first-rate vinegar dragonfish, and they were carried to the private room.
Lin Jin's eyes lit up and he went over to stop him.
"What are you trying to do?" Zhang Baili's heart skipped a beat at the sight of this and he immediately went over to stop him.
The thugs also went over to stop him.
However, Lin Jin was furious. He was no longer the cowardly predecessor he once was. Now, if you don't provoke me, we can talk nicely. But if you do, I'm sorry, but how things develop is no longer up to you.
"Zhao Ying!" Lin Jin shouted and the latter immediately slammed the table. There was a series of clanking noises outside before a two-meter-long pangolin crawled in.
Usually, pet beasts would be stored in a special beast pen on the first floor. Zhao Ying cast a spell to summon the pangolin.
It wasn't just her. Lu Xiaoyun's red fox had appeared out of nowhere as well, its body covered in flames. Although it wasn't as intimidating as the pangolin, its sharp claws and fangs looked even more dangerous.
As for Lin Jin's Xiao Huo, he was staying at the association to cultivate Beast Energy Formation Part One.
The thugs were stunned and didn't dare to stop Lin Jin anymore. They watched as Lin Jin stopped the plate of first-rate vinegar dragonfish.
Lin Jin gently probed the fish's body with his finger and understood what was going on.
Zhang Baili's face was contorted in anger. "Someone is causing trouble. Report it to the authorities. Lin, don't even think about leaving today."
Lin Jin couldn't care less. "I won't leave even if you ask me to. You unscrupulous merchant, we ordered the first-rate vinegar dragonfish yet you used a common carp to fool your customers. But when you gave it to someone else, it was a genuine dragonfish. Is this how you deceive your customers? Or are you deliberately targeting us? Even if you want to be kind today, I won't. "
At this, Zhang Baili's heart skipped a beat.
He knew better than anyone else what was going on, but he was certain that Lin Jin couldn't tell. So what was going on?
In an instant, Zhang Baili panicked.
This matter could not be exposed. Otherwise, not only would the reputation of the Symphony Restaurant be ruined, the owner of the restaurant would also not let him off easily.
Zhang Baili panicked. He made up his mind to keep this incident a secret.
"Lin, you're slandering me. You're just a beast appraiser who can't even protect himself. Do you know who owns this Symphony Restaurant? You've caused a huge disaster today and offended someone you shouldn't have. Let me tell you, apologize now and get lost, or else … "
"Or else what?"
Lin Jin was amenable to persuasion but not coercion. Things had already come to this, yet the other party was still so stubborn.
'Fine, let's blow this matter up. Let's see who's going to die then. '
The commotion here naturally alerted the surrounding guests. Many of them were now watching the commotion as they pointed and gossiped among themselves.
Due to the commotion, the guests in the private room were startled as well.
Zhang He was the first to come out. When he saw that it was Lin Jin who was causing trouble, he asked around and found out that Lin Jin was the one who kept their dishes. He immediately scolded, "Lin Jin, are you out of your mind? We've invited Chief Wang as our esteemed guest today. Look at you. You don't look like an official beast appraiser at all."
The only response he got was a 'scram'.
Zhang He was infuriated. But on second thought, he realized that this was an opportunity. Lin Jin had caused trouble and even kept their dishes. This would definitely upset Master Gu.
After all, Master Gu Mengzhong was a well-known figure in the country. Even Chief Wang had to be respectful before him. Offending Master Gu Mengzhong was no different from suicide.
"Looks like you're going to be kicked out of the association today." Zhang He was pleased. He immediately went back to add fuel to the fire and explained the situation.
Soon, Jia Qian came out with Master Gu Mengzhong.
Jia Qian looked at Lin Jin with even more displeasure. She had always been prejudiced and prejudiced against Lin Jin and even treated him as a stumbling block. Seeing him causing trouble today, other than disdain, she also felt a sense of anger.
'Why didn't I insist on taking the exam back then? How could I let this piece of trash surpass me? '
What a disgrace.
People like him must be kicked out of the association. No, they must be kicked out of the entire beast appraiser community.
"Master Gu, this man is a beast appraiser of our association. However, he's not a very good person. You've seen it for yourself. How could he cause trouble here? Also, his skills aren't good enough and he even had a beast appraisal accident before, "Jia Qian said softly. Gu Mengzhong's brows were knitted together in displeasure.
Jia Qian and Zhang He were elated at the sight of Gu Mengzhong's displeasure. Because Master Gu didn't even need to say a word. Once word got out, Lin Jin would be on the receiving end of everyone's hatred. The chief would surely kick him out today.
At that moment, Zhang Baili hurried over to apologize, saying that he had failed in his hospitality and disturbed their esteemed guest.
Just then, someone came up from downstairs.
As soon as this person came up, a waiter went up to him. "Masterchef Liao, why are you here?"
