Chapter 23: Tap Water
Standing in the alley next to the restaurant, Mr. Anderson handed Lance the $400, his expression a mixture of cold indifference and disgust.
By now, Anderson was convinced that these two were hired to stir up trouble.
He had no shortage of “enemies” in Jingang City. Alberto, that greedy dog, was certainly one of them. Then there was his former business partner—
Recently, the partner had noticed how well the restaurant was doing and reached out two weeks ago, hoping to repurchase the shares he’d sold to Anderson at the original price. Naturally, Anderson had refused.
It wouldn’t be surprising if that petty man, who resorted to extortion when facing difficulties, had orchestrated this.
And of course, there were rival restaurants in the area. Nobody would complain about having too much business.
They’d rather see customers waiting an hour outside their own establishment than going to a competitor’s restaurant and spending less for a full meal.
The better his business did, the more likely his competitors would resort to dirty tricks.
