"Hey, Wang, when is your restaurant opening? We all want to celebrate with you!"
The next day, Yan Bugui turned to Wang Jiefang with a glint in his eye and asked. He thought to himself, since everyone is opening restaurants, why should only they treat others to a meal? Wang Jiefang had to treat them too! He could eat whatever he wanted!
"Ha ha, Uncle Yan, my restaurant isn't ready yet. We'll talk about it when it's done!"
Wang Jiefang had heard enough gossip from the neighbors about Yan Bugui's family. As soon as Yan Bugui opened his mouth, he knew what the old man was getting at. He didn't want to call him out directly; he just gave him a casual brush-off.
To his surprise, Yan Bugui started playing dumb: "Oh really? So when it's ready, you'll treat us all to a meal? Little Wang, you're quite generous! Don't worry, we'll all be there!"
Seeing that Yan Bugui was being shamelessly forward, Wang Jiefang decided not to hold back any longer: "Yan Bugui, how did you even become a language teacher? No wonder the students you taught haven't achieved much; it seems you've held them back! Can't you tell I'm just brushing you off?"
"How can you be so brazen? Why should I treat you or anyone else in the courtyard when my restaurant opens? Did I owe you anything? Do you think I need your rice?"
Yan Bugui's pride stemmed from being an educator, and now that Wang Jiefang had accused him of ruining students' futures, it was no wonder he was furious!
"You! Wang Jiefang, why are you talking like this? I taught you! Besides, your restaurant opening is a happy occasion for all of us to celebrate. It's only right that you treat us!"
Wang Jiefang scoffed: "What nonsense is this about social obligations? If we had a new addition to the family and you came to congratulate us, that would make sense. But me opening a restaurant has nothing to do with you!"
Yan Bugui was fuming now; he pointed at Wang Jiefang: "You! We’re treating everyone else; why shouldn’t you?"
"Oh, you're treating everyone? Congratulations then! But I'm not interested in treating anyone; what are you going to do about it?"
"You! You! Are you trying to offend everyone in the courtyard?" Yan Bugui glared at Wang Jiefang, dragging everyone else into the argument in an attempt to pressure him.
The commotion had already attracted neighbors who gathered outside to watch the spectacle. They hoped Yan Bugui could convince Wang Jiefang to host a meal so they could enjoy a feast themselves!
Wang Jiefang hadn't stepped outside yet and wasn't wearing his sunglasses. He glanced around at the onlookers with his pale eyes and sneered: "So what if I offend people? It's not like I haven't done it before!"
After saying this, Wang Jiefang turned and went back inside. He had other matters to attend to and no time for this nonsense!
Yan Bugui was left shaking with anger as he watched Wang Jiefang walk away. How dare that brat act like this! Didn't he fear that if something happened, no one would help him?
The other residents of the courtyard looked at Wang Jiefang with anger on their faces!
This Wang Jiefang was too arrogant; did he think he was still supported by the neighborhood committee? In the past, they didn't dare provoke him because of that backing. Now that he had resigned, they would see how things played out!
"Ha! He doesn't want to treat us? When his restaurant opens, let's all go there together! If he doesn't treat us to a meal, we'll just sit there and not leave. Let's see how he runs his business then!"
"Great idea! We'll all go together! Ha ha! Even if he calls the police, we'll just say we're there for a meal!"
Wang Jiefang overheard their plans from inside his house. However, he wasn't worried; did they really think he would be afraid of them? If they dared to act on their threats, he had plenty of ways to deal with them!
