Wu Long smiled obsequiously and tried to please him.
"Boss, the older brothers are teaching me how to do things, that's a sign of respect for me."
The younger one suddenly remembered that there was an emergency at home, so he ran back without saying goodbye.
Fortunately, I got back in time. My house was on fire, and I managed to rescue my sister, who was my only family.
"I've lost my home, sir. Please take my sister and me in! I promise I'll work hard and repay you, sir, when I'm rich!"
Only then did Manager Wu notice Xiao Xi beside Wu Long. He saw that although the little girl was wearing coarse cloth clothes, she was fair-skinned and pretty, with big, pitiful eyes.
Manager Wu couldn't help but soften his heart.
"Alright, but we at Zuixianlou don't employ idlers. Your sister will have to work too. We'll calculate her wages based on her abilities later."
It must be said that Manager Wu is quite kind-hearted.
Wu Long was originally a stranger from an unknown place. Although he had a travel permit to prove his identity, travel permits can be forged these days. However, Wu Long was hardworking and knew how to get along with people, so Manager Wu thought highly of him.
So, looking at Wu Long's sister, it's like loving the house because of the house itself. Such an adorable little girl, let's keep her. It's just like adding another pair of chopsticks.
The restaurant owner is Manager Wu's nephew, so he can still have a say when it comes to hiring waiters or maids.
Actually, Xiaoxi and Wulong could have chosen not to return to the restaurant, but in this unfamiliar capital city of the underworld, Youdu City, they were better off staying at the restaurant first and then talking about finding their brother.
Moreover, Zuixianlou is considered a mid-range restaurant in Youdu City. It is precisely because of this that people from all walks of life can come and dine there, making it a good place for information to gather.
Why would the two of them go to such lengths when the solution is so close?
Wu Long was assigned to the dormitory where the other staff lived, but for him, this was nothing compared to what he had experienced in northern Myanmar.
There were no girls in the restaurant, so they let Xiaoxi stay in the stairwell. Although it was a place full of miscellaneous items, at least it was clean and tidy, much better than that family making her sleep in a doghouse.
Xiaoxi gets up earlier than the rooster at Zuixianlou to clean the front and back courtyards.
Zuixianlou serves three meals a day. After cleaning the courtyard, staff also need to help with cooking and other chores in the kitchen.
In the mortal world, restaurants have early and late shifts, but not in the underworld.
After observing for a few days, Xiaoxi couldn't help but admire Wu Long; he was like a spinning top that never stopped.
Despite being fellow employees of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, those people, relying on their seniority, kept assigning Wu Long the heaviest and most difficult tasks.
Wu Long thought that since Xiao Xi was now living under his roof, he would accept it without complaint. When they shared a dormitory at night, Wu Long endured the harsh words spoken by the other staff.
Wu Long is Xiao Xi's best friend, and Xiao Xi can't stand him. She has written down all of their tricks in her little notebook.
Xiaoxi couldn't stand getting up so early every day, having so much to do, and it was like this every day. When would she ever have a chance to go out and find her brother?
So that day, after the lunch rush, Xiaoxi hid on the path between the front hall and the back kitchen, waiting for Wu Long.
Not long after, Wu Long pushed a food cart full of dirty bowls past.
Xiaoxi seized the opportunity and dragged Wu Long into the artificial hill.
Wu Long was startled.
Xiaoxi immediately released a barrier, so that people outside couldn't hear what they were saying, while people inside could detect people coming from outside in time.
"Brother Long, are you getting too caught up in the act? Do you really think you're one of the waiters at Zuixianlou? They're clearly bullying us, aren't you angry?"
"I saw Xiaoxi was at the restaurant too, so at least we have a place to stay now. Is Xiaoxi not feeling well?"
"No, I'm exhausted from doing so much every day, and I just can't find the time to do it."
Wu Long also felt sorry for Xiao Xi being so tired. He knew that Xiao Xi was a rich young lady, but their current situation was complicated.
"Brother Long, you wait. I'll find an opportunity to let us live an easy life right away, and make all those snobbish people fawn over you."
"Okay, Xiaoxi, I'll be waiting!"
Wu Long has 100% faith in Xiao Xi. With Xiao Xi around, what can't she handle?
