Ruby looked up and muttered, “What a sissy.”
Simon asked, “What did you say?”
Ruby responded, “If you aren’t eating, leave, don’t ruin our appetites.”
“Fine, I’ll leave. Who wants to eat with you anyway?” Simon retorted, but he regretted it as soon as he
left. Was he an idiot? Did he really let others dictate his actions?
With nowhere else to go, Simon ended up in the smoking area.
“Simon?”
Hearing someone call his name, Simon turned around. Today was quite the gathering, even Stewart
was at the Soothy City Restaurant.
“Is that really you? When did you start liking Soothy City cuisine?” Stewart approached. “Don’t tell me
your new girlfriend is from Soothy City.”
Simon was still upset. “What new girlfriend? I just came to the wrong ce. What about you? Why are
you hanging out here?”
Stewart lit a cigarette. “A business partner of mine is from Soothy City. He likes strong vors. He
doesn’t want to go to high-end ces, and he prefers these sorts of ces where themon folk
come.”
“Stewart, this ce isn’t cheap.” Simon didn’t like the sound of that. What did Simon mean? This kind
of restaurant was a ce for poor people?
Starting prices here were in the tens of thousands, and many people couldn’t afford it. Stewart’s
comment about this ce being for the poor was clearly discriminatory..
Stewart sneered, “What does the price have to do with it? I’m talking about something deeper. People
from Soothy City, no matter how rich, can’t change the fact that they’re fundamentally poor.”
Simon had just found out that Adam’s wife was from Soothy City, and now Stewart was saying these
things. Simon nced back, afraid that Adam was behind them. “Stewart, you should avoid making
such regionally prejudicedments.”
Stewart scoffed, “What’s there to be scared of?”
Simon responded, “While we in Red Pine City may have a more advanced economy, it’s not because
we work harder, but due to our geographical location. The economy in Soothy City is weaker due to the
same reason, but the people there are hardworking and brave, even better than us Red Pine City
folks.”

Stewart asked, “What’s gotten into you? Why are you defending them?”
Simon retorted, “You’re wrong to speak like that. You do business with them on one hand, and on the
other, you look down on them for being poor. How is that different from a weaned child cursing his
mother?”
Stewart’s face turned dark. “What do you know? You’ve never seen the dark side of business, but now
you’re lecturing me?”
“Mr. Mills may not know business, but he knows more about being human than you, Mr. Hawes. If you
look down on us Soothy City people, then there’s no need to burden yourself by doing business with
us.” The speaker was a forty-something man, tall and thin, and very energetic.
Stewart sneered, “Mr. Peay, if you don’t do business with me, do you think anyone in Red Pine City will
dare to work with you? The four great families of Red Pine City are one and the Adam, the CEO of Hills
Group, is my childhood friend.”
same, and
“Ha-ha!” Zeph Peay responded with silence and turned around to gather his friends from the private
room. He had the staff arrange a casual spot in the main hall for them and started ordering food, not
giving Stewart any respect.
Stewart was burned with anger and growled. “What an ungrateful wretch! I wonder how long you’llst
in Red Pine City.”
Simon, who had witnessed the whole thing, worried that Stewart would me him. When Stewart went
to the private room to reprimand his staff, Simon sneaked back to the private room where Adam and
Lumma were.
Simon closed the door, peeked out through a crack to make sure no one had followed him, and only
then did he rx.
Seeing him act so suspiciously, Adam asked, “What’s going on with you?”
Ruby mocked. “He wanted toe back, but he just needed an excuse.”
