Chapter 136: Midterm Exam Results for Issue 133 [2nd Update]
“…”
The teahouse suddenly fell silent, and all the patrons who heard that sentence were taken aback, including the front desk lady who had followed.
As the girl lifted her head, her features were exposed to view.
In an instant, everyone around, regardless of gender, lost their luster.
The destructive power of beauty was too overwhelming.
“What did you say?” The woman almost laughed at the absurdity, “You said that you bought this place?”
She was a regular diner here and knew that the owner of the teahouse was preparing to sell it because he was going abroad.
However, the teahouse had been around for years and was quite expensive, so she didn’t consider buying it.
After all, her company already had enough monthly expenses, and she didn’t need an extra bill.
But ten seconds ago?
What grand words she was saying.
Concealed by her sunglasses, the woman’s expression could hardly hide her contempt as she shook her head repeatedly, changing her address to the girl: “Young lady, it’s good to be spirited, but you must choose the right occasion.”
Did a high school student understand how cruel society could be?
The woman spoke again with implied meaning: “Young lady, some people you can’t afford to offend, so you’d better be careful how you conduct yourself in the future.”
Ying Zijin ignored her and took a call right in front of the woman.
“Hello!” An excited voice came from the other end of the phone, “Miss Ying, I don’t know where you are, but I’ll have someone deliver it to you right now?”
STAR’s VIP accounts were all real-name registered.
However, names would only be seen during large transactions between two parties.
If necessary, they might also need to exchange photos to facilitate recognition.
The girl’s voice was cool and concise, “Downstairs at your place.”
The voice on the phone belonged to the teahouse owner, who was taken aback, but quickly understood: “Alright, alright, I’ll have my staff bring it straight to you. I really can’t thank you enough, now I can finally wash my hands of this.”
The call ended.
The woman’s smile gelled on her lips as she realized the girl was not kidding: “Your acting is quite good, young lady. If you hadn’t taken my employee’s dance costume, I might have considered recommending you into the entertainment industry, what a pity.”
A pity she no longer had that chance.
She could issue a ban with just a word.
Nie Chao still didn’t know what was happening but was already fuming: “I say you—”
His words were cut off by the ringing of the front desk lady’s phone.
“Boss?” The front desk lady glanced at the caller ID and answered promptly, “Is there something you wish to instruct?”
“I’ve already bought my plane ticket, and I’ve sent you a picture on WeChat,” the teahouse owner spoke rapidly, “Pass on all the files in my drawer to this young lady. She’s your new boss now, so let’s say our farewells.”
The front desk lady was somewhat flustered.
She opened WeChat and after a long pause, she looked up dazedly at the girl: “You… you’re our new boss? The boss told me to give you the prepared file bag.” ƒrēewebnovel.com
The woman’s laughter froze on her lips.
“Leave it for now,” stood Ying Zijin up indifferently, “Have her removed.”
The front desk lady looked towards the woman with apprehension: “Excuse me, Madam Gao, but the boss has spoken, please leave.”
She was just an employee and still had to listen to the boss.
The woman’s face alternated between shades of red and pale, a fleeting moment of embarrassment washing over her.
She stood at one meter sixty-four and was wearing 5cm high heels.
Even so, she was still almost half a head shorter than the girl.
Even the strongest aura shriveled up in an instant.
The woman gritted her teeth and spun on her heels, walking away briskly.
It was like she was fleeing in panic.
The situation had reversed too quickly, leaving Nie Chao dumbfounded.
“Holy shit, big boss, how did you buy it?” He managed to express his shock, “No, when did you buy it?”
They had been there the whole time, not absent for even five minutes straight.
Carrying a bag of packed pastries, Ying Zijin said a single word nonchalantly: “STAR.”
Since she was going to buy it anyway, there wasn’t much difference between buying it early or late.
Nie Chao then remembered the bug-like online shopping platform.
When STAR first went on the market, its slogan was—
There’s nothing you can’t buy, only what you can’t think of.
If even a principality could be bought and sold, a teahouse really was nothing.
But to be able to buy a teahouse, one must have a high STAR membership Rank.
