"Are there any private rooms available?" Nan Wusi glanced at Manager Zhao.
"Well... Miss Nan, there are indeed no private rooms available today." Manager Zhao wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead.
"Then we can sit in the main hall. You can decide." Nan Wusi didn't really care whether it was a private room or not.
"Yes, yes, yes." Seeing that Nan Wusi was unusually easy to talk to today, Manager Zhao nodded repeatedly and immediately led them over to sit down.
"Ye Zi, you sit down too." Nan Wusi said to Ye Zi, who had automatically stood to the side.
"Miss, Yezi can stand." Yezi dared not sit down; how could a maidservant like her sit at the same table as her mistress?
"Don't treat me like a young lady today, just treat me like the manager, understand?"
"But……"
"No buts. I ordered you to sit down. Why aren't you listening to my orders?" Nan Wusi immediately put on a stern face.
"Yes, Miss." Ye Zi sat down as if she were sitting on pins and needles.
Another person who felt extremely uncomfortable was Tiger's mother. She had never eaten in such a high-class restaurant before, and her simple attire seemed out of place with the luxurious style of the place.
The children, on the other hand, didn't seem to care at all; they were just happy to be able to eat delicious food again.
Because of the large number of people today, Nanwusi didn't bother to select dishes and simply asked the waiter to bring out all the restaurant's signature dishes.
"My benefactor, we've ordered far too much food. There's no way we can finish it all," Tiger's mother said with some concern.
"It's okay, you can take the leftovers with you." Nan Wusi didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"Manager Zhao, how come anyone can come into Chunfeng Restaurant now? They even eat and then take the food away, it's hilarious!" A woman's sarcastic words came as footsteps sounded downstairs.
"Miss Li, do you think you're so noble?" Nan Wusi recognized the voice immediately. It was Li Lanru, the second young lady of the Li family whom he had met on the street last time.
"It's you." Li Lanru, who had come downstairs, also noticed Nan Wusi. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and a look of disgust appeared on her face.
Nan Wusi scoffed dismissively, "What, you have a problem with that?"
"Why would I have a problem with it? Miss Nan San voluntarily lowered her status to mingle with some shady characters, what does it have to do with me?" Li Lanru said sarcastically.
“However, Manager Zhao, it would be better not to let just anyone in in the future. What if this lowers the bar for Chunfeng Tower and affects business?” Li Lanru then said to Manager Zhao, who was standing to the side.
"Hehe." Manager Zhao only dared to smile obsequiously on the side, not daring to say a word. He couldn't afford to offend either of them, and could only pray in his heart that the two wouldn't fight.
"Li Lanru, watch your mouth. If you don't want it anymore, I won't mind tearing it off for you," Nan Wusi replied domineeringly.
"You!" Li Lanru didn't expect Nan Wusi to be so violent. He wanted to tear her mouth apart at the slightest disagreement. The problem was that she knew Nan Wusi could do what he said he would do, so she was still a little scared. She shouldn't have provoked this plague god.
Nan Wusi naturally didn't want to pay attention to her anymore, because some people can't be reasoned with. She's increasingly preferring to use force instead of words.
After the noisy people disappeared, the group was finally able to eat in peace. The children had eaten and drunk their fill and their faces were filled with happy smiles.
“Tiger’s mother, starting tomorrow, why don’t you come and help me?” Nan Wusi suggested.
"My benefactor, how could I do this? I'm afraid I won't do it well and will only cause you trouble." Tiger's mother looked flattered but also worried.
"It's very simple. Ye Zi will teach you tomorrow. Don't worry too much. The wages can be paid daily." Nan Wusi continued to persuade, "If you're still worried, you can try working for a few days first. If you really can't do it, then tell me. What do you think?"
"Then thank you very much, benefactor." Tiger's mother thought Nan Wusi's suggestion was excellent, and it would be very rude of her to refuse.
"Don't call me benefactor anymore, just call me shopkeeper." Nan Wusi always felt that "benefactor" sounded awkward.
"Yes, shopkeeper," Tiger's mother readily agreed.
After finishing their meal, Hu Zi and the others went back to the slum with Hu Zi's mother. Nan Wusi then instructed Ye Zi to find out what had happened in the kitchen of Chunfenglou.
After waiting all afternoon, Ye Zi finally stopped the women as they were leaving work. She gave them some money and then learned the whole story.
It turned out that Chef Li of Chunfeng Restaurant had taken advantage of Hu Zi's mother's beauty and tried to assault her. However, Hu Zi's mother resisted fiercely, and in the process of resisting, she accidentally broke several plates. Because the commotion was too loud, it attracted the manager. Although she escaped being assaulted, Chef Li blamed all the fault on Hu Zi's mother, which led to her losing her long-term job.
"So that's how it is." Nan Wusi frowned. Tiger's mother's original name was Fang Shucui. She was also from a poor family and had always been thin and small, but her features were indeed quite good, and it was clear that she had been a beautiful woman in her youth. However, her husband had died of illness a few years ago, and Tiger had been raised entirely by her. Due to long-term malnutrition and overwork, she appeared somewhat haggard. But this also added to Tiger's mother's vulnerability and could arouse the destructive desires of some people. No wonder some people were attracted to her beauty.
Nan Wusi found this kind of person disgusting the most, and she planned to teach Chef Li a lesson he would never forget.
Nan Wusi asked directly, "Ye Zi, do you recognize this Chef Li?"
"Yes, Miss. I've already inquired."
"Then let's go out again." Nan Wusi already had a perfect candidate in mind for this task.
