Chapter 514 A Small Apology
As dusk approached, the safe zone was once again filled with guests.
Compared to the all-male customers during the day, this time there were gorgeously dressed girls and elegant women.
Even though the sun is almost invisible, young girls still carry crocheted lace umbrellas, with only a small section of their collarbone exposed, and a collectible gem that once sold for tens of millions hanging in the middle.
Not to mention that he is always protected by seven or eight high-level bodyguards with special abilities, and he looks like an aristocrat.
Seeing them, the group of people dining nearby immediately became well behaved, half lowering their heads and eating quietly. The smacking sounds of their lips became much quieter, and the customers in line dispersed one after another.
Xia Yan realized that he was being taken advantage of.
She quickly put away the low-level crystal core, raised a professional smile, and said, "Welcome, how can I help you~"
After the bodyguards confirmed that the surroundings were safe, they made way for a small gap, revealing a petite woman who was covering her face with a long-haired feather fan.
Her long and thick eyelashes moved up and down like a fan, looking Xia Yan over.
"Are you the boss here?"
Xia Yan nodded modestly and asked, "What do you want to eat? I have everything you want here."
After she finished speaking, a few undisguised chuckles were heard from the bodyguards.
“She said she has everything~”
"Businessmen all like to brag like this. I've seen it so many times, it's not surprising."
"Ask her if she has butter crab, Tibetan pork, moose cheese and black truffle~"
"Haha, how is that possible? Didn't you see that the dishes displayed outside are all low-class and rubbish?"
The girls seemed to be talking about something very interesting and kept giggling. The girl standing opposite Xia Yan moved her feather fan away, revealing a plump face without any flaws.
"Hey, do you have what they said?"
Xia Yan's smile deepened: "Of course, but the premise is that you bring enough crystal cores."
She narrowed her eyes imperceptibly, "Are you saying we are poor?"
This sentence ignited the girls behind. They pushed the bodyguards away, stomped their feet to the front desk, put one hand on their waist and glared.
"Say it again if you dare!"
"You dare to say we don't have crystal cores? What a joke, how naive!"
Xia Yan looked at their faces full of collagen and their slender fingers without even a callus, and sighed that people's fates were really different. They were struggling to survive over there, while they had no worries about food and clothing and could spend money like water over here.
Perhaps they received accurate information on the eve of the disaster and fled early with their entire family, so their personality changes were not as extreme as those of others.
She put her thoughts aside, kept her smile on her face, and continued to seduce. "Of course, we also run a high-end restaurant. Each dish is quite expensive, with a minimum cost of 500 Level 5 Crystal Cores per person. Would you like to come in and enjoy it?"
"How much?"
"The minimum per person is 500 Five Crystals."
The girls' faces turned pale. So expensive?!
There are really not enough crystal cores.
So embarrassing!
What to do when your toes start to itch!
When people are nervous, they tend to sweat and produce oily secretions, especially the tip of the nose, philtrum and chin.
Xia Yan kindly took out a mirror and said, "Your foundation is smudged."
!!!
"Ahhh!" The girls were in a mess. They turned their backs and looked at themselves in the small mirror. When they saw their mottled faces, they almost fainted on the spot.
An hour's hard work, all in vain!
The carefully crafted makeup was ruined by the setting powder. I really want to use a knife...
At this time, a mature and steady female voice came in, "Boss, these young girls have bad tempers. Please forgive me if I have offended you."
Xia Yan raised his eyes and saw that the person walking towards him was actually a middle-aged beauty with extraordinary temperament.
The beauty tilted her head slightly and said, "Stand at the back."
"I understand, Aunt Mei."
The girls suddenly became like wilted little chickens, not daring to say a word, and walked to the back with their heads hung.
Aunt Mei looked at Xia Yan, her lips curled up, her eyes were gentle, and her facial features were harmless. She looked like an intellectual older sister who could easily break the other person's defenses with just a smile.
"I'm so sorry to have caused you trouble. Please accept this as a small apology."
She took the embroidered bag handed to her by the bodyguard and gently pushed it in front of Xia Yan. Her face was full of guilt and her eyes showed sincere pleading.
One can't help but feel that if they don't accept it, they'll be betraying her sincerity and appear petty, fussing over such a small matter. But if they accept it, they'll also feel guilty, accepting a gift that's clearly not a big deal...
Eventually falling into the abyss of guilt.
There was a gleam in Aunt Mei's eyes. As adults, they naturally had to fight in a more advanced way.
Xia Yan opened it in front of her and poured all the crystal cores inside onto the table. There were more than ten of them, and they were all high-level crystal cores. Wow, he was so generous.
Xia Yan looked at her and said, "If you don't want to eat in the safe zone, you can actually go to the buffet restaurant. Although it's not as expensive as a high-end restaurant, the ingredients are incomparable. The price of the buffet restaurant is not expensive, only 30 level 5 crystal cores per person."
She pushed the crystal core back to Aunt Mei.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t get the highest or the lowest option, she can still provide a middle option.
Aunt Mei's expression remained unchanged, her optic core absent. Her tone remained gentle, "It's not advisable to eat too much at night; it's bad for your health. Thank you, boss, for leading the way to the buffet restaurant."
The bodyguard standing behind her took out a larger mountaineering bag, unsealed it, and poured out hundreds of high-level crystal cores.
Aunt Mei: "Please count."
Xia Yan: "How many of you are there?"
Aunt Mei: "Six people."
Xia Yan: "Well, how much is it in total including the bodyguards?"
Aunt Mei: "...48 people."
Xia Yan: "Okay, I'll take a total of 1,440 crystal cores from you. Since there aren't enough level 5 crystal cores, two level 4 cores are equivalent to one level 5."
Her fingers flew as she counted very quickly, and the cheap plastic basin was filled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The stiff smile on Aunt Mei's face was almost gone.
This was the capital she had amassed over the past few years. She had thought she could intimidate this young boss, but she hadn't expected her to actually pocket it?!
Bodyguards are consumables that can be replaced at any time, but they actually wasted so many of her crystal cores?!
Aunt Mei gave them a subtle look.
Hurry up!
At this moment, a scarred hand suddenly pressed on the pile of crystal cores, "Don't count our share, we can just eat outside."
Xia Yan slowly straightened his back. Although the bodyguards all had stern faces, there was still fear in their eyes.
When Aunt Mei caught her eye, she showed just the right amount of surprise. "Why do we have to eat out? I was thinking of taking you guys out for a different meal to improve your lives. You completed your last mission very well, so why not treat it as a reward?"
Upon hearing this, the bodyguard straightened his body, bent at a 45-degree angle, and said respectfully, "That's what we should do. Aunt Mei is beautiful and kind-hearted. Being able to be by your side is a blessing from a previous life. I dare not ask you to spend any more money!"
