How could she not hear the meaning behind the shopkeeper's words? Su Yin raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly: "Don't be in a hurry. Speaking of which, Uncle Wan once told me an interesting story, and this story is related to you, the shopkeeper. After meeting you today, I don't think you are the kind of person who would have such a thing happen to you."
"Oh? What's interesting?" Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It's not a big deal, actually. It's just that one time when you went to Yuzhou Prefecture with Uncle Wan, you, the shopkeeper, were mistaken for someone from the Chu House by a drunken man..." Having said this, Su Yin suddenly stopped talking and did not continue.
The shopkeeper opposite changed his expression slightly, and was secretly surprised. It was clear that only he and the boss knew about what happened that day, and there was no third person present. The boss had promised not to tell anyone else, so why did he do that now...
A hint of embarrassment flashed across the shopkeeper's face, but he quickly returned to normal, laughed dryly twice, deliberately cleared his throat, and then said, "Hahahaha, those were all decades ago, it's a relief that the boss still remembers them so clearly. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten it myself."
Su Yin pretended to be surprised and said, "It's been so long! Uncle Wan has always taken your matter to heart. It seems that you, the shopkeeper, really hold a very important position in his mind!"
These words touched his heart, and the smile on his face became more sincere.
"Ever since I took over this job from my father, I have been following our boss' career."
Su Yin nodded slightly, indicating her understanding, and said, "No wonder Uncle Wan still remembers you so clearly."
Behind this seemingly calm conversation, there is actually a subtle test and struggle between the two sides.
The shopkeeper pondered secretly, while his eyes kept wandering over the girl. Not only was the girl in front of him well-spoken, but her gestures also revealed the calmness and elegance of a child from an aristocratic family. It was obvious that she came from a high family, but...
His eyes swept across the families of Yang Dahe and Yang the Butcher thoughtfully, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart that no matter how he looked at it, these people didn't seem to be people who had blood ties with the employer.
But on second thought, there are three poor relatives in front of the imperial court!
Who knows, maybe they are actually related to the boss.
Although the shopkeeper did not completely believe what the other party said, since the other party was able to mention this matter, he must not take it lightly. For now, he only needs to treat him well and send someone to invite the boss's family to come and identify it tomorrow, and then the truth will be revealed.
Anyway, we just let them stay overnight, so we can just treat it as a little extra effort to entertain them. As for what the truth is, we'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out!
It wouldn't hurt to treat them well today.
If these people were really as they said, then there would be no mistakes on my side, and I wouldn't have to worry about being resented. But if they were not relatives of the boss, then it would be too late to drive them away tomorrow.
He reached out to take back the previous number plate, then took down another set of new number plates from the wall and handed them to Su Yin. Then, he called the shop assistant and said, "Xiao Liu, quickly lead these guests to the rooms on the second floor to rest."
Su Yin and his companions naturally noticed that the shopkeeper had replaced the "Ren" room originally arranged for them with a higher-end "Di" room.
So, Su Yin smiled and gently pushed away the number plate handed over by the shopkeeper, indicating that there was no need to do so, and that the original room should be left to them. The shopkeeper was indeed a smart person, and seeing this situation, he did not force his own opinion, but pushed the original number plate back to Su Yin.
"If you have any needs or encounter any problems, please feel free to call me at any time." The shopkeeper said enthusiastically.
"Thank you very much, boss." Su Yin responded politely, indicating that she accepted the other party's kindness.
At this time, the waiter standing aside stepped forward with a smile, bowed, and greeted them warmly: "Dear guests, please follow me and let me take you to the wing room." After that, he led Su Yin and his group to the wing room on the east side of the first floor.
The shopkeeper watched them walk away, thinking to himself: Judging from their words and actions, they don't seem to be the kind of people who come here to eat and drink for free or take advantage of others. However, things are unpredictable, and there is no guarantee that they will not have ulterior motives and try to seek greater benefits.
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper narrowed his eyes slightly and decided to wait and see what happened before making a decision.
Ever since the boss mysteriously disappeared, there has been no news of him and his life or death is unknown.
It is really hard to predict how the future fate of Wanjia Company will develop and into whose hands it will fall.
And this group of relatives who suddenly appeared at this moment made people even more suspicious.
What kind of relationship do they have with their boss? Is there any connection between them and this incident?
At this critical moment, it is better to act cautiously and treat them well for the time being!
The waiter Xiaoliu enthusiastically led Su Yin and the others to the wing room on the south side of the first floor and introduced: "This room is close to the main street, and you can enjoy the scenery outside. If you find it noisy, you may move to the wing room on the north side."
Su Yin waved her hand, indicating that she was satisfied with the location: "Don't bother, this place is fine. Thank you, brother. Go and do your work, we will take care of it."
Xiao Liu nodded respectfully in response, and before leaving, he specifically instructed: "If you need anything, please feel free to tell me, and I will do my best to serve you."
After the people left, the three families looked at each other. Butcher Yang wanted to speak, but held back.
At this time, Yang Dahe broke the deadlock and spoke first: "Yinyin, about your father..."
He was interrupted by Su Yin before he finished speaking.
"Uncle, don't be impatient. We have just arrived here, so let's settle down first and then talk about other things."
Yang Dahe nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
So, the three families silently picked up their room number plates and walked in different directions. Their steps seemed a little heavy, as if they were carrying a heavy burden. Everyone knew that the next problem they would face was not simple, but at this moment, they needed time to calm down and sort out their thoughts.
Just like that, the three families returned to their rooms and temporarily put their troubles behind them.
However, they knew that this peace would only be short-lived.
