"The private rooms at Tianjie Mansion are quite spacious; they can easily seat ten people," Duanmu Zicheng said.
Meeting Qin Sheng's gaze, he chuckled lightly: "We're old acquaintances, and you're Yan Shu's relatives. Since that's the case, let's go together. Why make things so ugly?"
He spoke very politely, but anyone with eyes could see the mockery in his eyes.
Qin Yanshu smiled and said, "Yes, I haven't seen my second uncle and aunt for a long time either. Since we've run into each other, let's have a meal together."
Gu Yueming's eyes reddened with anger. She had never been polite to people who were unreasonable and couldn't understand human language!
He immediately rolled up his sleeves, ready to get to work.
However, Qin Sheng stopped her.
The girl's already indifferent expression turned even colder, and she said in a chilling voice, "You stole my mother's things, who gave you the nerve?"
He looked at the manager and suddenly chuckled, "So you want to stand up for them?"
The girl's expression was calm, and she was not threatening at all compared to Gu Yueming's previous harsh words, but for some reason, the manager felt a chill in his heart.
But he immediately realized what was going on and put on his usual smile, only with a hint of sarcasm: "Miss, what are you saying? I'm just an employee, doing what I'm told."
Qin Sheng nodded: "Okay."
She took out her phone, ready to complain to her boyfriend.
However, before she could even make the call, she saw Mo Tian's figure and paused in her actions.
Mo Tian also saw her and immediately strode forward to greet her: "Miss Qin."
Just as he was about to speak, he sensed that the atmosphere here seemed a bit strange. He paused, turned his head and looked at the manager: "What's going on here?"
The manager was surprised to see Mo Tian here. His heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong. He instinctively tried to find an excuse to cover it up.
But to his surprise, the receptionist spoke first.
She repeated almost exactly what she had explained to him before, and then looked at Mo Tian cautiously and said, "The registration book I received does have a record of Mrs. Gu's reservation for a private room, but the manager said that Mrs. Gu was notified to cancel the reservation. What do you think we should do about this?"
How to handle this?
Mo Tian chuckled and said, "Weren't we going to take this young master Duanmu to room 666? Then let's take him there."
The manager, who had just been holding his breath, immediately said, "I'll take the guests there right away!"
Mo Tian stopped him and pointed to the receptionist: "Just let her go."
The manager smiled broadly: "It's alright, it's alright. I'm free right now, and I happen to have met Young Master Duanmu a few times, so we're fairly familiar with each other. It would be more appropriate for me to go."
Mo Tian's expression turned cold, and he repeated, "I said, let her go."
The manager was stunned: "Mr. Mo..."
Mo Tian: "I don't deserve it. I'm just an employee. You even dared to fire the boss's... sister. How can I be worthy of being called President Mo?"
The manager's eyes widened suddenly: "The boss's...sister?"
Mo Tian had already looked at Qin Sheng and bowed, indicating, "There is a private room here that is usually reserved for Master Fu. It is empty right now. Let me take you to that private room."
Qin Sheng hummed in agreement and put away her phone.
But he didn't leave immediately.
His gaze swept over Duanmu Zicheng, Qin Yanshu, and the others, and he chuckled lightly, with a hint of mockery: "We're all old acquaintances and relatives, so you can have room 666."
Gu Yueming, with a smug look on her face, raised her chin and added, "I wish you all a fantastic afternoon exam, just like your private room number!"
He snorted loudly again, then grabbed Qin Zheng and Pei Ling and chased after Qin Sheng.
That arrogant yet demonic snort made Duanmu Zicheng and his group turn pale.
Upon seeing this, Mo Tian stopped in his tracks.
After glancing in the direction Qin Sheng had left to make sure she hadn't gone the wrong way, he turned back to the stunned waiter and explained, "Indeed, no one notified Mrs. Gu to cancel her reservation. I was the one who had her reservation room information sent down."
"Since Miss Qin said she would give them the private room, let's take the guests there first. We can go to the company's human resources department later when we have time."
The waiter looked bewildered: "To the company's HR department?"
Mo Tian: "Yes, go and complete the formalities. You've been promoted."
The waiter's heart pounded violently. He finally came to his senses, but still couldn't believe it: "You...you mean?"
Mo Tian pointed to the equally stunned manager and said calmly, "He's been fired. You'll take over his position starting tomorrow."
"So, you got promoted, understand?"
The receptionist nodded vigorously.
Mo Tian ignored them and chased after Qin Sheng in the direction she had left.
It wasn't until everyone's figures disappeared around the corner that the people present realized what had happened.
The manager's legs went weak, and he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
He wanted to chase after her to beg for mercy as soon as he realized what was going on, but by then the receptionist had already processed the matter and understood Mo Tian's meaning, so of course she wouldn't let him have his way.
Two security guards were immediately called to stop him.
He said, looking refreshed, "Manager Zhao... Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry, that's the VIP area, and outsiders aren't allowed to enter."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and the two security guards who had witnessed the whole thing immediately dragged the person out.
The receptionist then turned to Duanmu Zicheng and his group, and said with a smile, "Young Master Duanmu, you're here to participate in the knowledge competition, right? The competition starts at 12 o'clock, right? There are less than two hours left. I'll take you to the private room now, and then urge the kitchen to speed up the preparation of your dishes. We can't afford to miss the exam."
Duanmu Zicheng's face was already stiff and he couldn't make any expression.
His gaze swept over the hand the receptionist was extending to lead them to room 666. He didn't know whether to follow or not.
Finally, gritting his teeth, he took a step and followed.
It's already past 10 o'clock, and I need to be in the exam room by 11:45. If I go to find a restaurant now, not only will there be no seats available, but I'm also running out of time.
The afternoon exam would last a full six hours, and he couldn't possibly go into the exam room on an empty stomach.
Seven years have passed, and he has finally waited for Qin Sheng to return to Tiandu. He has finally taken the same exam with Qin Sheng once again. How could he lose to her before the competition even begins!
He's already lost once, he absolutely can't afford to lose a second time!
Only after entering private room 666 and ordering the food did Qin Yanshu relax, and then she thought of something else.
He couldn't help but look at Duanmu Zicheng beside him and asked casually, "Brother Zicheng, do you know my cousin?"
Duanmu Zicheng was still immersed in the humiliation of being mocked by Qin Sheng, so he casually replied, "I guess so."
Qin Yanshu tightened her grip on the chopsticks, a look of curiosity on her face: "My cousin has always been fostered by other people and rarely goes out. She's never even left Ancheng. How did Brother Zicheng get to know her?"
Duanmu Zicheng finally came to his senses and looked at her with a rather strange expression: "You're saying she's never left Ancheng?"
