"Hello ma'am, welcome to our restaurant. This is a complimentary drink for you."

"Excuse me for bothering you, but I am the owner of this restaurant. I would like to ask how your dining experience was. If you feel that there is anything lacking in our restaurant, please feel free to give us your valuable opinions. We will definitely take them seriously and make corrections."

The boss spoke softly and smiled, giving a pleasant impression.

Although she was smiling, a trace of sorrow could still be seen in her eyes, as if she were forcing a smile.

Come to think of it, with the business so bad, it's understandable that she, as the owner, wouldn't be happy.

Lin Xi remained silent for a moment, then finally picked up the glass of juice and took a sip.

Considering the meal was quite enjoyable and the owner even gave her a complimentary glass of juice, she decided to offer the owner some constructive advice.

"The food and service were pretty good, and the restaurant's ambiance was also acceptable..."

Upon hearing this, the boss's smile faltered, then turned even more bitter.

Because she had heard similar things countless times.

Almost every customer she asked about their post-meal experience said something similar.

I praised their food for its delicious taste, as well as the ambiance and service.

At first, she was pleasantly surprised.

But after a while, she began to wonder whether these guests were genuinely praising them or just saying it casually to save face for each other.

After all, if their store is really as good as customers say, why is their business getting worse and worse?

For the past two weeks, their store has been operating at a severe loss.

If things continue like this, their store may not be far from closing down.

That's why she's so anxious; after each customer finishes their meal, she proactively approaches them to ask if there's anything that needs improvement.

This shop represents almost all of her savings and hard work. If it were to close down like this, it would be a devastating blow to her. She doesn't know if she could bear it...

Just when the boss thought Lin Xi would end the conversation after saying a few polite compliments like the previous customers, Lin Xi unexpectedly changed the subject and continued talking.

"However, your store has a rather big problem."

Upon hearing this, the boss, who had been feeling utterly hopeless just a moment ago, suddenly brightened up!

She looked at Lin Xi with excitement.

"Madam, please speak!"

It's clear that the boss genuinely wants to listen carefully to opinions.

However, Lin Xi's advice was not a traditional suggestion for rectification, but rather an opinion based on metaphysics.

She said meaningfully.

"The atmosphere in the store isn't very good. You might want to think about whether you've recently offended someone or had a dispute with someone."

Upon hearing this, the boss's expression immediately changed.

She had never considered that possibility.

The main reason is that before opening the store, she specifically asked a feng shui master to come and take a look at everything, from the location of the store to the decoration and the placement of various items.

This is enough to ensure that the feng shui of their store is not only not problematic, but actually quite good.

But now Lin Xi says the atmosphere in their store isn't very good...

Actually, if you think about it carefully, their business did suddenly start to go bad one day.

Their shop has only been open for a little over two months.

In the first month after opening, the business was booming because it was a new store, she had done a lot of pre-opening publicity, and the chefs were very skilled.

After the first month, the store's momentum slowed down slightly.

But she could understand.

After all, the first month has the "new store" buff, and things will gradually stabilize afterwards.

The situation at the store in the second month was indeed the same. Although it wasn't as booming as the first month after opening, business was still quite good.

Moreover, many of the customers who came in the second month were repeat customers, saying that the food was good and they would come often in the future.

At the time, the owner thought that their store would finally gain a foothold and that business would stabilize.

Unexpectedly, half a month later, their business suddenly went downhill.

Everything in the store was exactly the same, but the number of customers inexplicably decreased.

At first, she thought it was just a coincidence.

Perhaps those guests just didn't want to eat out that day?

The next day, she noticed that some customers were already walking towards their store, their eyes fixed on the main entrance.

As he was about to reach the store entrance, he suddenly stopped, thought for a moment, and then turned around and left.

Later, their shop also experienced minor accidents such as a burst water pipe and broken tables and chairs.

These unexpected events were witnessed by customers who had already entered the store to order, and they all left because they found it troublesome and that it affected their dining experience.

Even after she carefully checked all the facilities again to make sure there would be no more problems, the number of customers still did not return.

These past few days have been even worse, with fewer than ten tables of customers each day.

She and a group of shop assistants racked their brains, but they still couldn't figure out why the shop's business had suddenly become so bad.

If it's really as Lin Xi said, that there's a problem with the feng shui of their shop, then these strange situations make perfect sense.

After all, metaphysics is inherently mysterious and illogical.

Regardless of whether the store's business is actually related to metaphysics or not, the owner has decided to have someone take a look!

Thinking of this, the boss's gaze instantly locked onto Lin Xi, and it shone with an astonishing intensity.

"Madam, you must be an expert in this field! Could you please have another act of kindness and help us out?"

"Don't worry about the compensation at all. Whether it works out or not, we will definitely treat you well!"

Seeing that Lin Xi didn't react much, the boss couldn't help but get anxious, wondering how to persuade Lin Xi.

Suddenly, she noticed that the three plates in front of Lin Xi were empty.

This shows that Lin Xi is quite satisfied with the taste of their food, or perhaps she likes it.

Then the boss had a sudden inspiration and immediately suggested, "Madam, in addition to the usual compensation, from now on, every meal you eat at our restaurant will be on the house for free, and we will also reserve a special seat for you so that you can eat right away no matter when you come."

"Is this alright? Or do you have any other requests? Please feel free to mention them, and I will try my best to accommodate you!"

The boss was truly out of ideas; he had offered every promise he could and every method he could use to attract Lin Xi.

If Lin Xi still doesn't agree, she'll have to find another way.

Although she could go back to the feng shui master who had given her advice when she opened the shop, for some reason, she always had a strong intuition.

Lin Xi in front of me is definitely not weak, and she is absolutely capable of solving the problems that she and the restaurant are facing.

After all, she could spot the problems their store was facing at a glance.

Even if she can't solve it directly, she must be an expert in this area!

Under the boss's constant entreaties (and temptations), Lin Xi finally agreed.
