Starting as a War God: Global Goddesses Blocking my Door

Because Kong Haodong's father was a high-ranking official, countless people wanted to ingratiate themselves with him. When they couldn't find a way to do so, they turned to Kong Haodong.

These people, in an effort to get close to his father, were very generous; eating, drinking, and entertainment were all trivialities to them. Over the years, Kong Haodong had visited numerous places of pleasure, especially in entertainment venues, where many older men hoping to take advantage sought to start with palm-reading.

Seeing Ye Fan reading Tang Shishi's palm through the rearview mirror, Kong Haodong knew Ye Fan was definitely taking advantage of Tang Shishi, which made him seethe with anger.

Junyuelai Western Restaurant was located in the CBD of Central Plains City, where streets bustled and land was worth its weight in gold. Many of Central Plains' elite often dined here—this was a paradise for the powerful and a luxurious venue in the eyes of ordinary folks.

Woosh—

Driving a Maybach S450, Ye Fan and the two others quickly arrived at Junyuelai Western Restaurant.

"Oh! Isn't that Young Master Kong? What a rare guest, truly a rare guest!"

As soon as they arrived at Junyuelai Western Restaurant, a middle-aged woman wearing a black uniform came over with a smile.

Seeing the middle-aged woman, Kong Haodong replied with a teasing smile, "Sister Lan, long time no see, I've missed you! Do you have any seats available now?"

"Rest assured, Young Master Kong, we definitely have a place for you!" the middle-aged woman said excitedly.

Her name was Gao Lan, forty-two years old, and she was the lobby manager of the Junyuelai Western Restaurant. Gao Lan had known Kong Haodong for a long time, and just at this time, her son was about to enter high school. Based on his current grades, getting into a provincial key high school was out of reach, so Gao Lan was thinking of reaching out to Kong Haodong these days to ask for a favor in this matter.

To Gao Lan's surprise, Kong Haodong happened to dine at the restaurant that evening, which couldn't be more convenient.

Although the Kong Family wasn't among the most powerful, they were still considered a learned family, especially since Kong Haodong's father held a high and influential position in his unit. Many elite families still needed to maintain good relations with the Kong Family if they wanted their children to attend good schools.

In this day and age, education was too important. If education didn't keep up, the children would inherently lose out at the starting line.

Kong Haodong said with a chuckling smile, "It's still Sister Lan that understands me, you really do!"

"Same as before?" Gao Lan asked.

She knew Kong Haodong very well. Back in his university days, when pursuing pretty girls, he would often dine here. He would ask Gao Lan to prepare a candlelit dinner and have roses ready. Most girls, upon seeing the romantic setup by Kong Haodong, would agree to be with him that very night.

Some more liberal-minded girls, touched by the moment, would end up going to a hotel room and sleeping with Kong Haodong.@@novelbin@@

Kong Haodong glanced at Ye Fan and said with a darkened face, "We've got a third wheel tonight, let's save it for another time."

"That works, Young Master Kong, please come inside!" Gao Lan beckoned them in personally.

"Hmm!"

Kong Haodong nodded and began walking towards the interior of the western restaurant.

Ye Fan could tell that he had a good relationship with Gao Lan and whispered in a low voice, "Shishi, be careful of Kong Haodong setting you up. If you feel that something is wrong, signal me right away!"

"Mmm!" Tang Shishi nodded earnestly.

Last time, Kong Haodong had colluded with others to set her up. That evening, Tang Shishi drank a lot. Had it not been for Ye Fan's timely arrival, she might have been brutally defiled by Kong Haodong.

Having been invited to dinner by Kong Haodong again tonight made Tang Shishi extra vigilant; an incident like the last one must not happen again.

"This way, please, for the three of you?"

Lobby Manager Gao Lan led the three to a secluded spot.

Kong Haodong furrowed his brow and asked, "Sister Lan, is there no private room available?"

"I'm sorry, Young Master Kong, you didn't notify us in advance. Plus, since today is Friday, the private rooms were all booked out early in the morning!" Gao Lan said apologetically.

Ye Fan chuckled softly, "Shishi, let's sit here!"

"Mmm!" Tang Shishi obediently sat next to Ye Fan.

Kong Haodong said with a frustrated face, "Fine, fine, the table here is good enough!"

"Thank you for your understanding, Young Master Kong! You can scan the code to order!" Gao Lan looked gratefully at Ye Fan.

If it weren't for Ye Fan taking a seat directly, it could have been very difficult for her if Kong Haodong had become dissatisfied and caused a scene.

Kong Haodong said in a stern voice, "Shishi, you order first, I need to use the restroom."

"Young Master Kong, you really need to take care of your prostate soon! Otherwise, if your condition worsens later on, you'll have to wear adult diapers when going out!" Ye Fan said in a harmlessly mocking tone.

Snicker!

Upon hearing Ye Fan's words, many of the diners around them couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Kong Haodong's face turned embarrassed, and he snapped fiercely, "Ye Fan, shut your damn mouth!"

After speaking, Kong Haodong quickly made his way to the restroom. His prostate really was in poor condition, and if he didn't clear his bladder soon, he felt like it was going to burst.

"Young Master Kong, the tissue!"

Just after Kong Haodong finished in the restroom, he saw Gao Lan already waiting at the entrance of the washroom.

Kong Haodong took a tissue and wiped his hands, knowing at a glance that Gao Lan had something on her mind, "Sister Lan, you wouldn't happen to have something to ask me, would you?"

"Young Master Kong, I do have a favor to ask of you!" Gao Lan said with an embarrassed smile.

Kong Haodong teased, "Sister Lan, we're old acquaintances, just say what you need!"

"Young Master Kong, you know I have a son, and he's about to sit for his high school entrance exams. With his current grades, he can at best get into an ordinary high school. I was hoping you could mention it to your father and get my son into a key high school. This is a little gesture of my gratitude!" After saying this, Gao Lan handed Kong Haodong an envelope.

The envelope was bulging with twenty thousand yuan inside.

Seeing Gao Lan offering him money, Kong Haodong waved his hand and said, "Sister Lan, I've told you before, just let me know if you need anything. You've helped me quite a bit over the years. It's too polite of you to offer money. I'll talk to my father later, and it'll be no problem to make an exception and get your son into a provincial key high school!"

"Thank you so much, Young Master Kong, thank you!" Gao Lan was tearfully grateful upon hearing this.

"However..."

Kong Haodong paused and then smirked slyly, "I won't take the money, Sister Lan, but I'll still help you. However, you'll also have to do me a favor!"

"What favor?" Gao Lan asked curiously.

Kong Haodong lowered his voice, "You need to find someone for me, but they must meet a condition..."

As he touched upon the requirement, Kong Haodong's voice became as low as a mosquito's, impossible for ordinary people to hear clearly.

"Isn't that a bit improper?" Gao Lan's face stiffened after hearing him out.

Without a doubt, Kong Haodong was asking Gao Lan to target Ye Fan, but since Ye Fan had just helped her out, she really didn't want to offend Ye Fan for Kong Haodong's sake.

Staring at Gao Lan, Kong Haodong's face grew cold as he said, "Sister Lan, is this difficult for you? I do know that Junyuelai is the top Western restaurant in Central Plains. Your waitstaff here serves guests from all over the world. The favor I'm asking isn't hard to fulfill, right? If you don't agree, then don't bother asking me about your son's schooling!"

"Young Master Kong, you must be joking. I hesitated because I was thinking of who within the restaurant would be the most suitable. Now, I've thought of the right person. Don't worry!" Gao Lan forced a smile.

For her son's education, she had to act against her heart's desires.

Upon hearing this, Kong Haodong, with a playful look, said, "That's more like it, Sister Lan. Just help me out, and I'll definitely help you in return!"

"Young Master Kong, I understand. I'll arrange it right away!" Gao Lan nodded.

After she was done speaking, Kong Haodong leisurely returned to the dining table and took his seat.

Upon seeing Kong Haodong return, Ye Fan sneered, "Young Master Kong seems to be in quite a good mood!"

"Of course, I'm in a good mood when having dinner with Shishi. If it weren't for a certain fly, my mood would be even better!" Kong Haodong said mockingly.

Ye Fan knew full well that Kong Haodong was calling him the fly, and he mocked, "Is that so? A toad always hankers to eat swan meat. Although it's unrealistic for a toad to eat swan meat, just seeing the swan would make the toad very happy. I get it, Young Master Kong, I understand!"

"Ye Fan, who are you calling a toad?" Upon hearing this, Kong Haodong was thunderously angry.

Tang Shishi spoke gravely, "Kong Haodong, can you keep your voice down? Didn't you see the strange looks other customers are giving us? If you keep this up, I'm leaving!"

"Don't be angry, Shishi. Don't be angry. It's just that I can't stand Ye Fan. I'll stop; isn't that enough?" Kong Haodong said with a feigned smile.

After speaking, Kong Haodong gave Ye Fan a fierce glare, expressing his inner fury.

Ye Fan couldn't be bothered with arguing with Kong Haodong. As long as Tang Shishi was safe tonight, that was all that mattered.

Then, Ye Fan turned to Tang Shishi and said, "Shishi, what would you like to eat? Just order anything, Young Master Kong is treating tonight!"

"I...I don't know what to eat!" Tang Shishi said awkwardly.

Having never eaten Western food, and seeing the fancy menu, Tang Shishi felt intimidated, as if such a place was meant for the privileged. As someone of her status, she felt she didn't belong here.

After looking at the menu, Tang Shishi was shocked to find that the cheapest steak on the menu cost over a thousand yuan, and a drink two hundred. If they were to dine in, it would cost at least two months of her salary. She truly didn't know what to order.

Hearing this, Ye Fan stroked his chin, "This is also my first time at this Western restaurant. Let me see..."

Tap, tap!

Just then, a sexy waitress dressed in professional attire slowly walked up to them.

Seeing Ye Fan looking at the menu, the waitress said directly, "Si vous avez besoin de mon aide, faites-le-moi savoir s'il vous plait?"

"French...French language?"

Surprised by the waitress's standard French, Tang Shishi was astonished.

"The waitstaff here speak French?" Upon hearing this, many of the diners at the scene turned to look at Ye Fan.

"Heh heh heh..."

Seeing the waitress speaking fluent French to Ye Fan, Kong Haodong began to sneer triumphantly.

It seemed as if Ye Fan definitely wouldn't understand French, and he would be unable to respond, which would soon make him the laughing stock, looking like a country bumpkin.
