The Gods' Decree 5 Business 101 According To Mr Ming

The next afternoon outside of his restaurant, there stood Mr Ming as he welcomed his guest to the restaurant.

Although Ming's Spot is small, it is one of the most sort after places within the area due to it said to be "Inexpessive " exquisite menus.

As he welcomed his guests his eyes lit up as he saw what he was waiting for today " a big fish". He saw a man and his lady dressed to impressed in some of the finest attire he as ever seen.

"Welcome sir and madam. I must say miss, your beauty is without words.As you walk the flowers bow their heads in shame at their own inferiorities" He shameless greeted.

The lady smiled at the comment and praised her gentleman friend, for his great insights of picking such an outstanding restaurant with such a well mannered host.

The man replied with a knowing look and smirked " A man in my position has to know the best places in the city and this right here is one of the finer establishments there is "

"This sir certainly has an eye for quality and seems to be a man who knows of the finer things in life"

Mr Ming praised the man. He was praising but also laughing at this man inside his head.

He knew this kind of man was the kind that on the outside seemingly had it all, but in truth was broke like a dog. He saw the clues the moment he spotted them.

They were well dressed, but the man was significantly younger while the woman middle aged and all though she may not be termed unattractive, she was no knockout. While he was a pretty boy, marks like these he saw on a daily basis.

So he guessed she had money and this little birdie was picking for worms. "Finest establishment" he thought

"really, Only the poorest of poor men carry their women to dine here"

"Hmmm let us see how much I can get out of this little birdie." He grinned as he planned in his head.

"Today's special are all on the right side of the menu. Seeing as it is a man of your status, how can I make you eat such ordinary delights?"

" Waiter, tell the chef to prepare our once a month rare imported red oxtail from the paragon forest outside the city."

"This...that's not necessary senior...we will take from the menu" The man muttered along.

"No no a beauty such as this lady here is deserving of the best."

"Waiter bring it along" he replied , while winking at the middle aged woman as she blushed.

"I'm sure price is not an issue sir, but don't worry the price is only somewhat high due to the cost of deliver from paragon's forest"

" Sigh.. sigh..,, the perils that were undertaken just so guest such as yourself could enjoy the finest".

He muttered along as he had a look on his like he has lost his only child.

"Marcus how can you be like this, I thought you were treating me today. of course price is not an issue senior" The woman gave a disappointing look.

"Baby I was merely inquiring.haha senior bring your finest oxtail for our dining on this beautiful day".

He replied but inside he was cussing with words he didn't even knew existed.

"Of course there is also the wines which have been stored to perfection within our award winning wine cellar collection" Mr Ming responded after.

"One cannot just simply eat prime rare meat without was.h.i.+ng it down the best money can buy". He boasted as he held a gla.s.s of wine within his hands.

"May I suggest ponintui one which has been stored under the most pristine conditions known to man".

As Mr Ming spoke a vain kept showing on the man's forhead. "I am sure the young sir will agree".

Marcus was furious inside but knew he could not dare to show it on the outside and agreed with a knowing look.

After their meals Mr Ming brought over the bill. "How was the meal? prepared to your satisfaction I hope " He asked with a smile.

"It was perfection" Old senior the middle aged lady smiled while replied.

Marcus sat there drinking the wine with a disheartened look. Here he was trying to impress this sugar mama , so that afterwards she would let down her guard spend without a second thought. Then this manipulative old sc.u.mbag came by just to milk him like a cow.

"How on earth am I gonna pay?" Cold sweat washed his face as he thought. "I am sure it at most came to 50 silver coins right".

He sat there conforting himself while he drank and took the bill.

"What tha f$%#!!!!!"

"250 silver coins ?"

He sprayed the wine he just gulped down all over his date as he gasped.

"You....youuu...!!! "He couldn't find the words to swear.

Then he fought to find his composure and looked at his lady drenched in wine. "Sorry baby I was just lost my bearings there for a bit".

" Old senior there seems to be something wrong with the bill". He looked at Mr Ming with hate in his eyes.

"Really? How so I wonder? Let me tally it over again. Yes you are indeed right it seem the wrong figures were indeed put on the bill. You really are a one for details and My sincerest of opoligies.

Let's see we switch the five with the two". He acted as if he was once more tally the figures.

"There take a look again , without your all seeing eye how could I live this down".

Marcus had a smug look on his face but when he saw the figures on the bill, the look on his face slowly changed and he became dizzy.

"You must be joking 520 coin!!! is this man not happy until he takes away everything I have. "

"What will he ask for next a kidney for future meals, a d.a.m.n kidney? The worse thing I've done this year is come up on this thief".

The bill was settled by the middle aged lady. She looked at Marcus with disappointment at his inability to settle such trivial things.

"Maybe he is just a pretty boy" she thought. Afterwards as they left with Marcus a defeated man.

He vowed never to come within 200 ft of this restaurant in the future. Mr Ming stood there with a satisfied look.

"You got to know your customers that's for sure... business 101".
