He looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, somewhat scholarly, with bright eyes and a faint smile on his face.
Overall, this person seems to be quite literate and is probably not just an ordinary waiter in a restaurant.
Wan Qiqi smiled faintly and said, "We are not outsiders. I am another owner of your restaurant."
The scholar sized up Wan Qiqi for a while, trying to determine how much truth or falsehood Wan Qiqi had in her words.
The other guys gathered around when they heard the noise and started gossiping.
"You're our other boss? Are you kidding me?"
"You, a woman, want to do business and become our boss? Are you crazy?"
Even as everyone else kept talking, that person remained silent.
Tie Niu couldn't stand it any longer and snorted coldly, "I think you guys are the ones who are crazy. Our Sister Qi is another owner of the restaurant!"
"Sister Qi?" the scholar murmured, then bowed to Wan Qiqi, "My name is Liu Ji, and I am the accountant newly hired by Boss Zhu."

"Of course we know all this. She was even commended for her role in the bandit suppression in Lianshan, and her husband is now working in the county government. They're living a very prestigious life!"
Liu Ji smiled faintly and asked, "Do you remember her name?"
"It seems...it seems her name is...Wan Qiqi?"
Liu Ji nodded and then asked, "What did the person behind her call her just now?"
