The basement level of Wujian Restaurant.
Welcome!
As soon as Xia Tianqiong and the Ghost Bride appeared, they heard a sweet, cloying voice.
Two rabbit demons dressed as maids stood on either side, their oval faces full of sweet smiles, and their long ears flapping like the little hands of a lucky cat.
Xia Tianqiong nodded to them and smiled, then walked inside with the Ghost Bride.
The ghost bride suddenly asked him telepathically, "Does my lord like this type of female ghost?"
Xia Tianqiong was slightly taken aback, then chuckled, "Is Sixiang jealous?"
"I was just curious," the ghost bride replied without giving a direct answer.
"This is Song Shiqiao's business tactic. She bought it to attract customers, and it has nothing to do with me."
"Yes, I trust you, my lord."
The basement level remains bustling, with ghost hunters and eerie sights.
Xia Tianqiong, on the contrary, felt that something was wrong. He hadn't come for so long, the spirit wine and spirit fruit he left behind should have been sold out long ago, and the Nether Gold was not enough to support the operation for so long.
Before he even got inside, he saw a figure rushing towards him.
Song Shiqiao was dressed in professional women's clothing, with her hair styled in a short bob, exuding a capable and efficient aura.
She looked at Xia Tianqiong with a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Boss, are you alright?"
Xia Tianqiong was slightly taken aback. "I'm alright?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Shiqiao's worry disappeared, replaced by a hint of resentment.
"I sensed you were coming to Wujian Restaurant a few days ago, but you didn't come to the basement. Have you forgotten about me?"
Xia Tianqiong touched her nose, feeling slightly embarrassed.
He's such an incompetent boss. His employees work diligently for him, but he's forgotten about them, even the business on the basement level.
"I had an emergency last time and didn't have time to come."
As the boss, Xia Tianqiong would not admit the truth. "Now that I'm not busy, I came right away! Besides, I'm going to promote you, give you a raise, and give you a more important position."
Song Shiqiao's eyes widened, a hint of amusement in them. "Boss, you're so kind!"
As a qualified employee, even if you know the boss is just making empty promises, you still have to play along.
Xia Tianqiong smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject, "Tell me about the situation here!"
"Okay, boss."
Song Shiqiao began to give a detailed report. During Xia Tianqiong's absence, the spirit wine had already sold out, so they had to buy some wine from Wujian Restaurant and sell it at a low price to maintain the bar's customer base.
In addition, the loan from the underworld has also been stopped. So far, a total of more than one hundred strange creatures have been obtained, but the highest level is only the evil strange creature.
The only business operating normally right now is the general store.
Some of the strange artifacts and objects inside were acquired, while others came from those who sold themselves into servitude.
Ghost hunters who dine at the Wujian Restaurant almost always come here to browse and select suitable ghost artifacts and items. This alone has earned Xia Tianqiong millions of ghost money.
Unfortunately, what is a huge sum of money for others is just pocket money for him.
After understanding the general situation, Xia Tianqiong took out a large amount of spiritual fruits, spiritual wine, and a large number of strange artifacts and items, enough to operate for more than a year.
Then he called Xiaoqi to his side.
"Your name is Ji Dongjun, right?"
Xiao Qi was one of the first people sent here, and she has always worked diligently, helping Song Shiqiao to manage the place very well.
Because he was far away from Xia Tianqiong, he didn't receive any rewards, and his strength only increased by one level, reaching the level of Fierce Demon.
There are a total of eight waiters. Xiao Yi and Xiao Ba have recently been promoted to the level of "fierce and cunning," while the others have also reached the level of "evil and cunning." Their strengths are gradually becoming more and more differentiated.
This is the original, core consequence.
Xiao Qi was so excited that the boss actually remembered his name that he nodded repeatedly.
Xia Tianqiong casually took out a large pile of things and placed them on the ground, making them taller than a person.
The bottom layer was made of glittering ghost gold, and above it were various spiritual fruits and spirit wines, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the entire floor.
Xiao Qi became even more excited, her words stammering, "Boss... this is..."
Xia Tianqiong smiled, picked up a spiritual fruit, and began to introduce it.
"This is the Enlightenment Fruit. You should know its effects. I've saved three for you so you can catch up in level. This is Monkey King Spirit Tea, picked from the head of a Ghost General. It's very beneficial for both Ghost Body and cultivation. I don't have many, so I'll leave you two ounces."
These two jars contain thousand-year-old peach blossom wine and top-grade blood ginseng wine. They're not for sale, they're for you to drink. There are also other spiritual fruits and wines, all of which are helpful for cultivation. Keep them and consume them slowly.
Xia Tianqiong spoke slowly and softly, and Xiao Qi couldn't help but tremble slightly with every word she heard.
He was well aware of the value of these items, which far exceeded the profits generated from the basement level over such a long period, yet the boss gave them to him so casually.
Suddenly I felt so lucky. If I hadn't followed the boss, I would never have gotten these good things in my life, and I wouldn't even have dared to dream of them.
"Thank you, boss!"
Xiaoqi quickly lowered her head, not only to express her gratitude, but also to hide the tears that were about to fall.
Xia Tianqiong patted his shoulder, "I'm taking Song Shiqiao away. From now on, you'll be in full charge of this place. Train a successor as soon as possible, and I'll take you home in the future."
Upon hearing the word "home," Xiaoqi's tears finally fell.
Xia Tianqiong offered a few more words of comfort before leaving with Song Shiqiao.
However, before they could leave the Wujian Restaurant, the Three-Eyed Ghost King suddenly appeared in front of them with a sly smile on his face.
"Young brother, how about selling me a few jars of your top-grade spirit wine?"
Xia Tianqiong smiled, but refused outright, "I don't need money."
The Three-Eyed Ghost King then asked, "Ordinary spirit wine is fine too, as long as it's produced by the Tree Ghost Clan. Ever since I drank your top-grade spirit wine last time, other wines have tasted bland."
