"Heh, apologize? You seem to have misunderstood something. I will not apologize to a beggar!" the manager sneered. "And let me tell you, don't think that just because you have some stinking money, you can put on airs in Jade Hall! He ate the meal, so he has to pay! Your money is useless!"
"But I didn't eat anything!" Cao Zhendong protested. "When I arrived, the food had already been consumed!"
"I don't care about that! Your wife called you to come and pay. You didn't eat, but your wife did. So you have to pay!" the manager said aggressively.
"You're being unreasonable! I want to see the surveillance footage to see who actually ate this meal," Cao Zhendong retorted angrily. "My wife knows I have no money. How could she possibly ask me to pay!"
"I don't care. In any case, if you don't pay today, you'll have to be Jade Hall's dog. One day isn't enough; it'll have to be for a whole month!" the manager said domineeringly.
