Chapter 617 Xiao Huai's Conditions
You lost!
Xiao Huai held his chin, a wicked smile curving his lips; he was in a very good mood.
"How is this possible..."
Feng Gan looked up, about to accuse the other party of cheating, but upon seeing who it was, he swallowed his words.
He's still young and doesn't want to die.
"Why not? Your cricket thinks it can compete with me? You're just delusional!"
Xiao Huai gestured for his men to put away his precious cricket, then sat down and tapped the table with his folding fan, signaling Feng Gan to pour tea.
Feng Gan had never served tea or water to anyone in his life, but now he was being exploited by Xiao Huai and forced to serve him. He was very bitter.
He gritted his teeth, picked up the teapot, and poured tea for Xiao Huai.
For a moment, Feng Gan wanted to smash the teapot in his hand at Xiao Huai, but he had the desire but not the courage, and could only be used as a servant.
Heavens! Why isn't Wan Qiqi here yet? She's usually so proactive!
Is this woman not at the restaurant? Am I really going to be bossed around by Xiao Huai for a month? What will happen to his reputation if word gets out?
Feng Gan waited for a long time, but Wan Qiqi and the others did not come over, and his mood gradually became irritable.
"Keep your grip steady, or you'll hurt me, and you'll regret it." Xiao Huai gently squeezed the back of his hand, enjoying the other's ministrations.
With his neck exposed in front of Feng Gan, he didn't dare to strangle Xiao Huai. He could only curse in his heart and continue working.
"Knock knock knock~" The knocking sounded on the door.
"Go in," Xiao Huai replied casually, his eyes closed, looking quite at ease.
"Young Master Feng, our master sent me to deliver your wine. Please enjoy it." Erpang placed the wine pot on the table, glanced at Feng Gan, and sensed that the man seemed about to cry.
Feng Gan thought Wan Qiqi had arrived, but it turned out to be Erpang, his friend. He was inwardly furious.
Erpang had barely glanced at it when he was immediately chased away by the servants.
Just as the door was about to close, a slender hand braced against it.
When Xiao Huai's men saw the visitor, they released their grip and let him in before closing the door.
When Feng Gan saw Wan Qiqi come in, he moved his hands a little harder and was immediately hit with a fan, which made his eyes red with pain.
"You made the bet with me yourself, and even if someone comes, they can't save you." Xiao Huai slowly opened his eyes, leisurely unfolded his fan, and a wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth, completely unconcerned about Wan Qiqi's arrival.
Feng Gan felt wronged.
Who would want to gamble with him on crickets? It's clearly a forced sale, and he had no choice but to comply.
This Xiao San is really no good; I hope he trips and dies when he goes out!
After he finished cursing, he immediately received a cold glare from Xiao Huai, as if the other party knew what he was thinking.
"Save what?" Wan Qiqi frowned slightly, seemingly not understanding what Xiao Huai meant, then smiled, "Young Master Feng, as the owner of the restaurant, when will you ever work for it? You're busy outside, yet you have the mind to flatter Young Master Xiao; do you think you can just flatter Young Master Xiao whenever you want?"
Feng Gan: "..."
What's this woman trying to do? Didn't she come to rescue me?
“Young Master Xiao, why don’t you let Young Master Feng go down and greet the guests? What would you like to eat? I’ll make it for you.” Wan Qiqi smiled gently.
Feng Gan then realized that Wan Qiqi was helping him, and quickly took back the name he had used for her, thinking that she couldn't hear him and wouldn't hold it against him.
“He is now my servant, so he should serve me here.” Xiao Huai did not give Wan Qiqi any face, staring straight at her, as if waiting for her to offer other conditions.
Wan Qiqi suddenly laughed, "Young Master Xiao, you must be joking with me. How can Feng Gan, who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, serve you? What if he harms your health?"
"It's alright, I'm tough as nails." Xiao Huai didn't respond, looking like he wanted to send the other person away.
Wan Qiqi: "..."
She glanced up at Feng Gan, her expression conveying a sense of "I've done my best, I'll just have to hope for the best."
Feng Gan was stunned!
What does this mean? Is that all? Shouldn't they have used every method they used on themselves on Xiao Huai?
Wan Qiqi lowered her eyes, bowed to Xiao Huai, and turned to leave.
Xiao Huai: "..."
This woman doesn't want her companion anymore? Wasn't she just making excuses for the other person a moment ago, and that's it?
Just as Wan Qiqi was about to step out of the private room, Xiao Huai spoke up, "If you want to help him, it's not impossible, it just depends on whether you have the ability."
Wan Qiqi smiled smugly.
As expected, Xiao Huai had come with a purpose.
He turned around, his smile fading, revealing a troubled expression.
"Judging from what Young Master Xiao said, this matter must be very difficult to handle." Wan Qiqi sighed and lowered her head. "In that case, we can only ask Feng Gan to make do! Fortunately, the restaurant doesn't require Feng Gan to be around all the time."
Xiao Huai: "..."
Feng Gan: "..."
Wan Qiqi, are you really sure you'd do this to me? I trusted you so much, and you just stood by and watched me die.
Wan Qiqi seemed not to notice Feng Gan's ferocious expression. She lowered her eyes, bowed again, and prepared to leave.
"This is difficult for others, but it's no problem for you."
Xiao Huai spoke again, dismissively knocking Feng Gan's hand away with his fan. He stood up and walked to Wan Qiqi, "My father's birthday is in ten days. I want you to compete with other restaurants for the right to organize the banquet and prepare the grand finale dish."
Wan Qiqi was taken aback, but quickly regained her composure. "Young Master Xiao, you flatter me too much. I..."
Xiao Huai held his fan to Wan Qiqi's lips. "Winning the competition means becoming an honored guest of our Xiao family. This is something many people would fight tooth and nail for. It will not only enhance your influence but also elevate the status of Xinglong Restaurant. Are you really not interested?"
Wan Qiqi stared at the fan, her brows slightly furrowed.
