C137 I'll Give You a Free Ticket
A young man sat behind a large wooden table, his eyes lowered and his pen spinning. His tone was indifferent as he said to the woman in front of him, "You came looking for me just for this small matter."
The person who stood there was that elder sister Chen. Her current posture was extremely respectful, even a bit cowardly.
After her conversation with Liu Xiaolai just now, Sister Chen became agitated for a moment. He went straight to the fourth floor to complain.
However, looking at the cold expression of the head storekeeper, she suddenly felt that she might have done something wrong.
"I... I was just thinking, "she squeaked." Liu Xiaolai's actions would leave a bad impression on the other maids … Moreover, if he occupies one room, it will affect the other guests' dining … "
Then she heard a scornful laugh.
"Hmph." The young man shook his head. What an interesting story. "Then take me to see it."
Sis Chen was overjoyed, as if she had suddenly come from hell to heaven. When she saw the head storekeeper's attitude, she had thought that he would punish her. Who would have thought that from the looks of it, she was going to personally deal with Liu Xiaolai!
Head storekeeper, this is giving too much face! In this way, all of the maids in the entire Jiang-Tong building dared to go against him.
"Okay, Manager. I'll bring you there right away!" Sis Chen beamed with joy as she led the way.
At this moment, Xia Ling had already finished ordering the dishes. And the Jiangtong building's services were indeed not built upon. Before he had even put down the menu, more than a dozen cold plates of different sizes had already been placed on the round table. Every dish was exquisite, like a craft.
Liu Xiaolai stood to the side. His expression was no longer as lively as before. When he thought about how he would have to bid farewell to this rare job after this meal. The pressure in his heart suddenly surged.
At this moment, the room door suddenly opened. Liu Xiaolai turned around just in time to see Sis Chen's complacent expression.
"Why are you here …" Liu Xiaolai walked up to her, wanting to stop her.
She didn't expect Sister Chen to have no intention of talking to Liu Xiaolai at all. She respectfully said to the person behind her, "Head storekeeper, this is the place."
A luxuriously dressed young man walked in and gave the room a cold glance.
Head storekeeper? Upon hearing these words, Liu Xiaolai instantly felt as if her hands and feet had turned to ice. Why did the manager, who had so many things to do, suddenly come here?
He had only seen him once when he took the job!
Even if he wanted to deal with himself, any manager should be enough. How come a person like the head storekeeper had arrived?
Seeing Liu Xiaolai's expression, Sister Chen felt even more pleased with herself. She had already expected that within the small area of the Jiangtong Hotel, the restaurant owner would be supporting her. Soon, everyone would know about it!
At that time... Humph!
The young man spoke coldly. He looked at the flustered Liu Xiaolai and said, "You must be that maid called Liu Xiaolai."
At this point, Liu Xiaolai gradually calmed down. Even after leaving this enviable job, he was still young. As long as he worked hard, he would still be able to ease the burden on his family. Therefore, he had to maintain his final dignity in front of the head storekeeper.
"Yes, I'm Liu Xiaolai." The young girl replied in a neither humble nor haughty manner.
The young man nodded thoughtfully and replied, "Alright then. From today onwards, you will be the temporarily supervisor."
"Yes …" "Hmm?" Liu Xiaolai subconsciously agreed, thinking it was an order to fire her. She immediately realized that this was not the case and raised her head in shock.
As the young people came in, Sis Chen was still lost in the fantasy of a better life to come. However, at this moment, her smile froze on her face, and it seemed extremely awkward.
What was going on? What was going on!? The woman roared in her heart. She couldn't believe what she was seeing or what she was hearing. Wasn't the head steward here to deal with Liu Xiaolai? Wasn't he supposed to back himself up?
… …. Not only did he not punish her, he even gave her a promotion?
Liu Xiaolai was also extremely surprised. She couldn't even suppress her surprised voice as she asked directly, "You … Why would you. "Why didn't you punish me …"
The young man's expression remained cold. But he still answered, "Because you did very well. As long as you step into our River Clearing Tower, you will be our distinguished guest. Where is the logic in chasing people out? "
At this point, he even shot a glare at Sis Chen.
"... "In that case, where did I, Jiang Tong, get Lou Cheng?"
Hearing this, the woman's body went ice-cold, as if she had fallen into an icehouse!
It turned out that the head manager was never there to back him up!
"... Compared to a mere one or two thousand taels of gold, my Jiangtong Restaurant's reputation is more important. "
Liu Xiaolai cried tears of joy. Hot tears were already forming at the corners of her eyes. The girl finally let out a heavy breath as the pressure on her body dissipated.
But she still maintained her composure and said with thanks, "Thank you …. "Sir …"
But at this moment, a discontented voice sounded.
"Hey, when did I say I wouldn't pay?" Xia Ling knocked on the table impatiently with his index finger. Also, you have ignored my existence since you came in, is that really okay? "
"... According to what you said, I should be a respected guest, right? "
The young man's cold face broke into a friendly smile, but anyone could see that he himself had no intention of smiling.
"Good customer, I apologize for my actions earlier. As compensation, your consumption this time will provide you with a free ticket. Are you satisfied? "
Xia Ling laughed softly: "Not at all."
The young man couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He thought that paying 2000 taels of silver as a free ticket was already a huge concession. He didn't expect this fellow to be dissatisfied.
Did he really think that his compromise was cheap?
The young man was about to open his mouth to say something when a palm-sized crystal flew towards him.
It had a perfect and resplendent arc, with a jade-green luster.
The young man grabbed it and placed it in front of him. He carefully examined it without saying a word. But slowly, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
His hands gradually started to tremble, and the gaze he used to look at Xia Ling became incomparably humble!

Even Liu Xiaolai could not help but feel perplexed. Rumor has it that the head manager of the Jiangtong Tower had always been a calm and indifferent person. Even when Mount Tai collapsed, his expression did not change. What could he have seen to make him so astonished?
It even became like this!
Xia Ling said calmly from the side, "I think since you are the owner of this restaurant, you must be someone who has seen a lot. You should know this Jade Scallop. "Then we won't have to bother any longer."
"... Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't know them. I still have other gems with me.
Jade Scallop, what is a Jade Scallop?
