Chapter 016 The No. 1 Restaurant in the World

The No. 1 Building in the World welcomes talented people from all over the world and has long been famous in the capital, attracting countless talented and wise people.

Everyone knows that this is the Sixth Princess's property. Given her background of being uneducated, powerless and without any influence, why would this happen?

It’s very simple. Once you are admitted to the No. 1 Building in the World, you will have no worries about food and drink, and you will also receive monthly offerings.

Such a good thing, who wouldn’t want to give it a try?

When the steward in the building heard that the princess had arrived, he hurried out to greet her.

"Your Highness, why are you here?"

Manager Lou didn't know why this person suddenly came. Normally, he only came a few times a year, and he would be notified in advance before coming. Now he was not prepared at all.

"Why? I have to inform you before my own property comes here?"

Manager Lou immediately knelt down and said, "No, no, I deserve to die. I said the wrong thing!"

Qin Zhaoyue didn't let him get up and walked straight in.

As soon as I stepped into the building, I saw a person lying by the side of the door.

His body was covered in black and white, his outer garment was almost in tatters, his hair was matted and gave off a foul odor.

Qin Zhaoyue was stunned at the time, "Who is it? Who the hell is this!"

Steward Lou was kneeling outside. The deputy steward bravely approached and said, "Your Highness, this is... the laziest person in the world."

Qin Zhaoyue:!

She searched her memory but couldn't find any impression at all.

The original body would come here occasionally, but every time he saw it, the building was full of talented and capable people.

Anyone could guess that it was a way for the building manager to cover up the truth.

"How much is the monthly salary?"

"Five taels."

“How long has it been recorded?”

"Almost two years."

The building was completely silent. Even the beggar sleeping at the door... no, the laziest man in the world noticed something was wrong and slowly opened his cloudy eyes.

When their eyes met, he saw a pair of eyes filled with anger.

"Fresh breeze, drizzle, hit me!"

"yes."

"Ouch!" the beggar screamed, protecting his head tightly and curling up into a ball.

Qin Zhaoyue glared at the beating without mercy, "Aren't you the laziest person in the world? You shouldn't be too lazy to hide when someone hits you."

The others gasped, and the two managers inside and outside the building were shaking like sieves.

Normally, the Sixth Princess rarely shows up in public, and on the rare occasions when she does, she always behaves respectfully and courteously. When has she ever been seen to look so ferocious?

How could one not be respectful and humble? After all, the original owner really wanted to seize the throne!

Qin Zhaoyue didn't have any such thoughts at the moment, she just felt heartbroken.

Five taels a month, two years later, that adds up to 120 taels! That's enough for an average family of three to eat for ten years.

For a princess, one hundred and twenty taels was nothing, but she couldn't get angry about spending one hundred and twenty taels on such a thing!

The last time they didn't do their job well, their master was abducted by the Qingluan Guards and taken to court. Qingfeng and Xiyu tried their best to perform.

Although no internal energy was used, the fight looked extremely intense, with the beggar's wails echoing throughout the world's number one building.

"Okay, hold your breath."

The moment Qin Zhaoyue spoke again, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But they soon discovered that it was too early to relax...

"Dare to deceive my highness, it is a capital crime, not to mention that you will not be given a chance to live.

The building has given you a monthly salary, which will be doubled and you will be given a small punishment or a big warning. If you can't pay it back, then we will deal with it according to the law!"

The laziest man in the world was dragged out mercilessly, leaving him with only two choices: take the money or die.

The first "talent" problem was solved, and it also showed the attitude of the Sixth Princess today.

"Come here, invite all the talented people on the list to come to me."

"yes!"

Not all talented people are in the No. 1 Building in the World. Anyway, you can get money by showing up. As long as you curry favor with the manager, you can get the money without doing any work.

One could even tell from the manager who had collapsed outside the door that it was not uncommon for people to be paid without working.

Qin Zhaoyue ordered his men to arrest wise men from all sides and climbed up slowly.

Climb up to the seventh floor breathlessly and look out into the distance.

This location is some distance away from the palace, but the height of the tower is among the highest in the capital.

The seventh floor originally belonged to her private area, and outsiders were not allowed to set foot there, so it was relatively quiet.

The servant brought a pot of cold tea, and the maid fanned herself and looked down at the world, which was a unique experience.

Half an hour passed in a flash, and his men had summoned all the wise men present.

Qingfeng and Xiyu had solemn expressions on their faces as they escorted the chief and deputy managers of the building.

"Your Highness, there are 124 people on the list, and a total of 71 people have been summoned.

The rest either don’t exist or are seriously misleading.”

Qin Zhaoyue laughed. What a guy! Fifty-two empty salaries! His eyes flickered towards the two people kneeling on the ground. "How dare you!"

"Your Highness, please spare me, Your Highness, please spare me!"

"I've been blinded by greed, I deserve to die..."

This No. 1 restaurant in the world is famous, and the commotion at this time was quite big, which naturally attracted a crowd of onlookers.

Everyone was smart and had calculated the share of those who ate the empty salary. They were whispering to each other and discussing how much money the two managers had embezzled over the years.

Many people now felt a little sympathy for the Sixth Princess, who had a bad reputation in the past.

Qin Zhaoyue waved his hand impatiently, "One hour, and you'll have to pay back double the money you've been collecting for free these years. If you can't pay, I'll take you directly to the Criminal Department, where your property will be confiscated and you'll be charged."

"yes!"

Qin Zhaoyue's words were naturally a boast.

The Ministry of Punishment was not run by her, so it was impossible for her to confiscate the property at will, let alone her, the Sixth Princess who had no official position and was not favored.

But the people don’t know. They think that as a princess, she can punish anyone she wants.

Qin Zhaoyue wanted to scare people, but his main purpose was to get money.

The two stewards deceived her original self, so what does it have to do with her now? As long as the money can be compensated, everything will be fine.

If there are fifty-two people, and if they all receive five taels of silver per month and are registered for one year, that would be a little over three thousand taels. Double that and it would be more than six thousand taels, which can directly cover most of the donated disaster relief funds.

Therefore, Qin Zhaoyue now very much hopes that these two people who are good at making money can take out the six thousand taels to atone their sins.

After dealing with the big head, she turned to look at the remaining seventy-one people in the building and clapped her hands:

"Don't be afraid, everyone. It's time to show your talents!"

Qin Zhaoyue didn't have time to verify them one by one, so he roughly divided the seventy-one people into three groups, the largest group of which was composed of literati.

"I won't make it hard for you. In this hot summer, I'll use 'cicada' as the theme and write a poem with one stick of incense.

As long as you can see it, I will not pursue it and will let you go."

A stick of incense was lit in the incense burner, and thirty or forty people were thinking hard with paper and pen.

Seeing them scratching their heads, Qin Zhaoyue felt relieved. There was a great hope of collecting another sum of money. Maybe he could just collect 10,000 taels!

Looking forward to it...
