"Clink…"
The bell that was hanging onto the top of the door rang out when Seb pushed open the door and entered into the dim sum store.
Right when Seb entered into the dim sum store, when an attendant that was standing watch at the front counter saw Seb, the attendant quickly looked down at his phone and took a look at the photo of a man that was on his phone, seemingly to be trying to make sure of something.
And when the attendant realized that the young man who had just entered the dim sum store was actually the person that he had been anxiously waiting for since 30 minutes ago had finally arrived, he quickly walked over to Seb and bowed 45 degrees at Seb, then said respectfully, "Welcome, Mr Force! I have been waiting for you. My boss, Mr Huang, has told me to make sure that you are treated extremely well while you are dining here at our dim sum store! Please come with me, your table is located on the 3rd floor, which is the VIP floor."
"Sure, lead the way." Seb said with a smile.
While Seb was following along with the attendant, the customers that saw everything unfolded before their eyes could be seen looking at Seb curiously.
"Who is this young man? Why is that attendant so respectful to him?"
"Hmm, I'm guessing he's most probably the son of a certain big shot?"
"Tsk, your guess is most likely right, or else that smug attendant wouldn't be so respectful toward him. My memories of how cocky that attendant was when he was attending to us are still vivid in my mind."
On a table where 4 young-looking men and 4 young-looking women were seated at, amongst the 4 young-looking men, 3 young-looking men could be seen chattering amongst themselves in a low voice while looking at Seb and the attendant walked toward the staircase.
Meanwhile, when one of the young-looking women that was sitting at the table heard what the 3rd person who spoke said, she turned her gaze away from Seb, then glared at the 3rd person and chided in a low voice, "Are you courting death?! Before we come here, didn't I tell you that this is a triad-owned business?! If you want to die, don't drag the four of us ladies along with you!"
"What's the big deal, that guy is just an attendant, it's not like he's really a member of the triad…" Upon being chided, the young man mumbled in a low voice as he averted his gaze away from the woman.
"You…!"
"Alright, alright, let's not fight amongst ourselves. Look, Sherlyn, Panel didn't mean any harm when he said what he said, so let's not hold his action to heart, okay? Come, come, Sherlyn, have a taste of this, this soup dumpling is one of the signature dishes of this dim sum store, I'm sure that you will like it." The young-looking man who had remained quiet during this whole time said hurriedly as he placed a soup dumpling into Sherlyn's bowl, trying to lighten up the table's mood.
"Tsk." Sherlyn clicked her tongue unhappily, but she didn't say anything else to further sour the table's mood.
Right after clicking her tongue, Sherlyn began eating the soup dumpling that was in her bowl, and while eating, Sherlyn though to herself, "That guy… I'm sure I didn't recognize him wrongly, he is definitely Seb, the guy who belongs in the same class as me! Isn't he an orphan…? Why did that attendant treat him with so much respect…?"
…
"Big boss, over here!"
The moment Seb and the attendant arrived at the 3rd floor, at a table that was located by the low-windows, which gave the customers at the table a clear view of Greenland Country Club's golf course, 3 men could be seen sitting at the table, and amongst the 3 men, the buffed-looking man who seemed to be around the height of 168 cm was the one who stood up from his seat and shouted out at Seb while waving his right hand at Seb.
The moment the buffed-looking man shouted, everyone that was at the 3rd floor immediately looked over to him, then over to Seb.
"This guy…" Seb let out a helpless sigh as he walked over to the table.
However, although Seb let out a sigh, judging from the wide smile that appeared on his face when he heard the buffed-looking man calling out to him, it was evident that Seb didn't really mind what the buffed-looking man did.
"Big boss!"
"Big boss!"
"Big boss, what took you so long! It's not like you to be late! Tsk, tsk, tsk, making the three of us wait for you… Don't you know that our time is precious!"
When Seb arrived at the table, the two other men could be seen standing up and calling out respectfully to Seb, while the buffed-looking man immediately hugged onto Seb, then said teasingly.
"Alright, alright. Tyler, let me keep some of my face, will you?" Seb shook his head helplessly, then signaled for Tyler to have a seat.
Afterward, he walked over to the only old-looking man amongst the 3 men that were at the table, then hugged onto the old-looking man and said with a smile, "Lawyer Goldman, I apologize for making you come here this early in the morning. I didn't cause any inconvenience to you, did I?"
"Haha. Come on, big boss, no need to be so formal, this life of mine is saved by you, I'm available 24/7 whenever you need me!" After the hug, Lawyer Goldman let out a laugh as he pat onto Seb's right shoulder, then said respectfully.
And after signaling for Lawyer Goldman to have a seat, Seb walked over to the 3rd man, who was a young-looking man who had a rather long hair that reached to his shoulders.
Evidently the last person was Byron.
"What, not going to give me a hug?" Upon arriving at the front of Byron, Seb opened his arms wide, then said teasingly.
Faced with Seb's question, Byron shook his head with a smile as he hugged onto Seb, then sat down on his chair.
Right after, Seb walked over to an empty seat which already had utensils and a plate set in front of it, and upon seeing that, the attendant who was standing quietly by the table's side immediately walked over and pulled out the chair for Seb.
Before sitting down on the chair, Seb took out a stack of $100 notes from his shorts' pocket, then took out 10 pieces of $100 notes from the stack.
Right after, Seb placed the 10 pieces of $100 notes into the attendant's pocket, "Here, for your troubles."
Immediately, a wide smile appeared on the attendant's face as he bowed 45 degrees once again and gave his thanks to Seb, "Thank you so much! If there's anything I can do for you, feel free to call for me, I will be on the first floor. I hope you have an enjoyable breakfast!"
And right before the attendant turned around and left, Seb held onto the attendant's right shoulder, then said with a smile, "Do me a favor, will you? I know that you are going to make a call to your boss to inform him of my arrival. When you do so, do you mind telling your boss that I am interested in speaking to him face to face?"
"Sure, I can do that, but I can't guarantee that my boss will show up…"
"No worries. Just tell your boss this, I'm interested in letting go of my boba tea business and black-market related businesses. I'm sure that he will definitely make time to show up when he hears that."
"Understood. I will take my leave then, I hope you all enjoy your breakfast." After giving a slight bow to everyone else at the table, the attendant turned around and left.
After the attendant left, and Seb had sat down on his chair, Byron immediately opened his mouth and asked with an extremely confused and worried look on his face, "Big boss, are you actually really intending on letting go of the boba tea business and black-market related businesses…?"
