Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 668: 183: The Show Begins! _7

Zhao Yiyun said, “I’ve seen the Guose Tianxiang membership card from my friend. It’s exactly the same as this one! My gosh! Furong, you’re just too amazing!”

Shangguan Furong, with a smile, said, “Isn’t it just a card? It’s no big deal to me.”

This membership card perfectly satisfied Shangguan Furong’s vanity.

She was used to being dominant at home, so she wanted to take control no matter the occasion!

Jia Zhenzhen sighed, “As I thought, we all really have to rely on Furong!”.

“Exactly, Furong is indeed amazing!”

Shangguan Furong, who had been depressed for several days, also began to cheer up at this moment.

With the membership card, they were able to ascend to the third floor smoothly without queueing.

The decoration on the third floor completely stunned the four of them.

It was not until they reached the third floor that they realized there was a special menu for VIP customers.

The dishes and desserts on the menu were all new to them.

Such as mango pudding, fruit salad, and such.

Shangguan Furong ordered a table full of dishes and desserts with an indomitable spirit.

The four of them spent over five hours on the third floor. In the middle, they even played a game of mahjong before leaving the third floor.

Just as they left their private room, Shangguan Furong saw a familiar figure.

Was that…

Ni Yang?

What was Ni Yang doing, wiping a vase?

Wasn’t she selling noodles? How did she end up at Guose Tianxiang doing menial work?

Shangguan Furong squinted her eyes, looked around, and already had an answer in her heart.

Anyone who could come to the third floor of Guose Tianxiang wouldn’t be of low status!

Ni Yang really did have grand ambitions.

She turned down the introduction to Qian Weiye, yet she fawningly did odd jobs at Guose Tianxiang, she’s really shameless!

“Furong, what are you looking at?” Jia Zhenzhen curiously looked at Shangguan Furong.

“Nothing.” Shangguan Furong withdrew her gaze, “Just having a look.”

“Oh!” Jia Zhenzhen nodded, “Let’s go, then.”

The group headed downstairs together.

Guose Tianxiang was always full of guests every day, so Ni Yang didn’t notice Shangguan Furong. After she finished wiping the vase, she handed the rag to a waiter beside her and said, “The most taboo thing in the catering industry is sanitation problems. From now on, this vase should be cleaned daily. The standard is that no dust can be seen when it is wiped with a white cloth.”

“Alright, I know.” The waiter behind her nodded.

Then, Ni Yang found Gu Lanzhi.

Even though Gu Lanzhi was much older than Ni Yang in terms of age, she truly admired Ni Yang.

This young, slender girl was just too impressive!

At first, she and everyone else didn’t think highly of Guose Tianxiang’s future, she only agreed to work here because of the high salary of more than 300 yuan.

She never expected that Guose Tianxiang’s business would become so booming someday.

It became the target of imitation for everyone in the catering industry.

Working here gave her a sense of superiority!

Ni Yang said, “Sister Lanzhi, from now on, there should be a sanitary inspection in the restaurant every three days. Then we will rate them as ABC. A class will be rewarded 30 yuan each, B class 10 yuan each and C class will be rewarded one yuan.”

The restaurant had three floors, which were divided into three zones: A, B, and C.

The sanitation conditions of these three zones could be compared with each other.

As the saying goes, no reward, no motivation.

A restaurant should not ignore sanitation just because the food and service are good and business is booming.

Ni Yang’s standard is: there is no best, only better!

Gu Lanzhi had no objections to Ni Yang’s proposal, she nodded and said, “Alright, Yangyang, I got it.”

“Yangyang, you have a call.” A waiter hurried over.

In the restaurant, everyone called Ni Yang ‘Yangyang’.

Originally, everyone used to call her boss.

But they felt that calling her boss wasn’t nice, and calling her ‘Ni’ was too stiff, so they asked everyone to call her Yangyang instead.

“Alright.” Ni Yang went over to answer the phone.

“Yangyang.” The person on the other end of the line was Ni Cuihua.

“Mom, what’s the matter?” Ni Yang asked.

Ni Cuihua continued, “Yangyang, Annie and Emily are here. Can you come home now?”

“Alright.” Ni Yang hung up the phone, said a word to Gu Lanzhi, and went home.

It was already cold in November. Ni Yang put on a purple coat as she walked along.

The coat was of a slim fit design, and there were two pearls for embellishment on the cuffs.

Ni Yang hurried out, not noticing that one of the pearls slid off the cuff.

A man wearing an old-fashioned gown passed by her.

The pearl happened to roll to the man’s feet.

The man squatted down, picked up the pearl, and looked back. The road outside was bustling with people, and her figure was no longer seen.

“What are you looking at, Mr. Du?” asked Wang Ziqi.

Mr. Du coughed lightly with his fist against his lips, “Nothing.”

The two men walked inside.

“Do you have a membership card?” a waiter dressed in Hanfu immediately greeted them.

“Membership card?” Wang Ziqi furrowed his brows in confusion.

The waiter politely said, “All the seats are taken inside. If you don’t have a membership card, please follow me to wait for meal.”

“What is a membership card?” Mr. Du asked softly.

Mr. Du seemed like a character who walked out of an old movie.

He was thin, wearing an old-fashioned gown. His shoes were cloth, and despite his ordinary attire and gentle brows and eyes, he gave off an impression that he was no ordinary man.

The waiter explained the membership card to Mr. Du in great detail.

“Can we also apply for one?” Mr. Du inquired next.

“I’m really sorry, there are no extra spots for membership cards right now.” The waiter looked apologetic.

“What did you say?” Wang Ziqi frowned slightly and stepped forward.

Perhaps having stayed in Shanghai for a long time.

Wang Ziqi still carried a certain air of lawlessness.

In Shanghai, no one dared to reject Mr. Du like this! Who treated Mr. Du with anything but respect?

“Ziqi.” Mr. Du spoke softly.

“Mr. Du.” Wang Ziqi toned down his aggressiveness somewhat.

“Let’s go over there and wait.”

The waiter breathed a sigh of relief, “Please follow me.”

The two of them went to the waiting area.

Mr. Du was elegantly sipping tea.

Wang Ziqi walked from the lobby to the inner hall, and then back to Mr. Du, “Mr. Du, I don’t think this is Fourth Miss’s style.”

Mr. Du laughed lightly, “She’s not that clever.” He then asked, “How’s the investigation going? When can we find the person?”

Wang Ziqi showed a troubled expression, “Mr. Du, this matter can’t be rushed.”

The smile on Mr. Du’s face slowly faded.

After a while, he asked again, “Is it really that hard to find a person?”

His voice was still gentle, but it carried an oppressive feeling.

Wang Ziqi steeled himself and said, “Mr. Du, we are in Beijing.”

“Don’t we even have a clue?” Mr. Du continued to ask.

Wang Ziqi shook his head.

Mr. Du drained the cup of tea, then said, “Don’t waste manpower on Fourth Miss anymore, focus on finding her in the future.”

“So, we’re just going to ignore Fourth Miss?” Wang Ziqi asked.

“If she wants to go mad, let her have a proper fit.” Mr. Du put the tea cup on the table, his face full of anger.

It’s unclear whether he’s annoyed at the incompetent Wang Ziqi, or the unrestrained Fourth Miss.
