Chapter 1633: Clash
If you can afford to drive a BMW, surely you can pay for this bit of gas.
The BMW owner instantly felt insulted, and his face darkened immediately.
"Who do you think you’re looking down on? Do I look like I’m short of money? I just can’t stand this kind of queue-jumping. No matter what, you’re going to give me an explanation today."
Xu Ke really had something urgent, which is why he used his authority.
Originally, he thought the manager could send this BMW owner away, but unexpectedly the other party refused to let it go.
"I really apologize, sir. We do have an urgent matter here. Since you’re not satisfied with this plan, I’ll give you a special membership card. The first ten refuels are free with this card, and thereafter you’ll enjoy a 40% discount each time."
Zhang Fei was indeed sincere this time. Usually, refueling a regular car costs at least a couple hundred.
For luxury cars like these, refueling each time would easily cost a thousand or two.
In fact, some more expensive cars have even higher refueling costs.
Though they’re not short of money, over so many times it does add up to a considerable expense.
With this super membership card, they can save quite a bit on their spending.
This was a special benefit introduced internally by Zhang Fei, normally not sold to outsiders.
This time, it was an exception because Xu Ke was there.
The BMW owner understood this now, and this super membership card was quite a temptation for him.
Although he could afford to drive a BMW, the cost of refueling each time was indeed a significant expense.
If he had this super membership card, he could save a lot of money in the future.
With that money, he could engage in many things he wanted to do.
"Alright, alright. Since you’re so sincere, I’ll forgive you this time. If I find out you’re doing this again next time, I definitely won’t let it go." Saying this, the BMW owner stuffed the super membership card into his pocket.
Xu Ke initially intended to deal with the BMW owner, but Zhang Fei stopped him.
"Mr. Xu, there are many people like him in society; there’s no need to get angry over him. If you deal with him today, more will come tomorrow. The best way to handle people like that is to keep them calm."
After listening to the manager’s words, Xu Ke couldn’t say much more.
After all, the manager handled the situation very well.
If that BMW owner had made a fuss here, it would have had a significant impact on the gas station.
It’s worth noting that there’s more than one gas station nearby; people can easily switch to another place. There’s no need to endure such treatment here.
Since the matter was resolved, Xu Ke didn’t linger around.
"Remember what I told you. I’ll be waiting for you at the office tomorrow." With that, Xu Ke headed to the airport.
Upon reaching the airport, Xu Ke discovered that the flight Big Soldier was on had been delayed.
However, that’s fine; at least he wasn’t late.
The flight was delayed by an hour and a half, meaning he’d have to wait for another hour and a half.
Although Xu Ke wasn’t bothered, his stomach was already protesting.
In the morning, he only had a little breakfast brought by Xiao Keyi, and it was already noon.
Since this was an airport, there wasn’t anything particularly good to eat. Xu Ke opted for a fast-food restaurant.
Regardless of what it was, the most important thing was to fill his stomach first.
Despite the high prices at the airport, the fast-food restaurant was indeed crowded.
Xu Ke took a quick glance and noticed there were over a dozen people in line.
But now he had no choice but to obediently stand in line.
But you have to admit, the service efficiency here was pretty high; it only took about ten minutes before it was Xu Ke’s turn.
Xu Ke wasn’t very interested in fast food, so he randomly ordered a family meal.
However, since the family meal needed to be freshly made, he had to wait a little longer.
The cashier gently apologized to Xu Ke and handed him a waiting card.
Xu Ke was quite impressed with the girl; her attitude towards customers was very friendly.
He had already observed that the girl seemed quite weary, as if she hadn’t had a good rest lately.
But that had nothing to do with Xu Ke, so he just sat aside quietly waiting for his food.
After about ten minutes, the waiting card in Xu Ke’s hand started buzzing.
Before he could get up, the girl had already brought the meal over.
Seeing Xu Ke, the girl was visibly embarrassed.
"I’m really sorry, sir, for keeping you waiting." She said, cautiously placing the meal on the table.
Xu Ke noticed that the girl looked quite frail, tall but like a reed swaying in the wind.
This piqued Xu Ke’s curiosity about her.
"Miss, if you don’t mind, why don’t we sit down and eat together?"
Xu Ke directly extended the invitation to the girl.
The girl was slightly startled, clearly not expecting Xu Ke to invite her to sit down for a meal.
"No, I’m still on shift, and I’m not hungry anyway. Thank you for your kind offer."
Just as the girl was about to leave, the manager of the fast-food restaurant approached unexpectedly.
"Zhenzhen, your shift is over. You can get off work now."
The girl hadn’t expected the manager to come over then.
The atmosphere was awkward for a moment, and as the girl didn’t know what to do, Xu Ke broke the silence.
"Since you’re off work now, why not sit down and have something to eat."
Since Xu Ke had already mentioned it, the girl could only slowly sit down.
However, she didn’t dare to look up at Xu Ke, clearly still a bit frightened.
"Don’t be scared. I’m not a bad guy. Eat quickly, or it’ll get cold and not taste good." Saying this, he handed the food to the girl.
Looking at the burger in her hand, the girl felt very conflicted. She didn’t know if she should eat it, but she was already very hungry.
While the girl hesitated, her stomach suddenly growled.
The girl’s face instantly turned red, and she hurriedly stuffed the burger into her mouth.
Seeing the girl’s awkwardness, Xu Ke couldn’t help but smile wryly to himself.
Although he didn’t understand why the girl was like this, he knew she must have some unspeakable reason.
Xu Ke wasn’t in a hurry; he just quietly watched the girl eat.
