Chapter 267: Chapter 267 Running the Hall
Wang Yan followed Tang Jingyi away from Wanghai Noble School, gradually arriving at the slums of Wanghai City.
This place was close to Eight Great Street, and although not as impoverished as Eight Great Street, the residents were all poor.
The houses here were all old, the streets were in disrepair, and the streetlights at the corner emitted a dim yellow light, looking lifeless.
However, Tang Jingyi was familiar with the way, leading Wang Yan through several alleys to a small restaurant.
It was called a small restaurant because it only had seven or eight tables and a single dining hall.
Tang Jingyi let Wang Yan stay outside first, while he went into the room himself.
Inside, Tang Jingyi walked over to a bald man and, with a smiling face, spoke with him for quite so ti, occasionally pointing to Wang Yan outside.
Finally, seeing the bald man reluctantly nod, Tang Jingyi excitedly bowed several tis to the bald owner, then hopped out of the room and said happily to Wang Yan, “Wang Yan, the boss agreed to let you try it for a day, and if you do well, you’ll officially be employed starting tomorrow. Wang Yan, you have to work hard.”
Looking at Tang Jingyi’s innocent smile, Wang Yan also started to smile slightly.
The work for the two of them was very simple: they were runners.
After the kitchen prepared the food, it was either Wang Yan or Tang Jingyi who would bring the food out and place it on the table for the guests. When the guests left, they would clean up the leftovers and crumbs on the table.
Tang Jingyi was very diligent and quick with her hands, and she was very worried that Wang Yan, trying this job for the first ti, might not be adept. If he didn’t do well, the boss might not keep him, so Tang Jingyi carefully explained every detail to Wang Yan.
Having lived alone for a long ti, Wang Yan found these nial tasks naturally manageable, so he quickly beca proficient.
As Wang Yan and Tang Jingyi worked together more often, they beca increasingly in sync, sotis needing just a glance to understand each other’s aning.
The smile at the corner of Tang Jingyi’s mouth grew deeper, gradually filling her entire eyes with happiness; she spent the whole night with a wide smile on her face.
She had worked at this hotel for so long, and this was the first day she was so happy. As for the reason, even Tang Jingyi herself didn’t know why.
At this mont, the bald man suddenly received a phone call, after which he rushed over and said to Wang Yan and Tang Jingyi, “You two, co here. A VIP is about to arrive. Keep your eyes sharp. Also, clean up the big table inside. If this VIP is the least bit dissatisfied, I’ll fire both of you.”
The bald boss’s expression was very serious and nervous, indicating that he was highly concerned about the upcoming VIP.
Tang Jingyi hurriedly nodded and said, “Boss, don’t worry. We will definitely be careful.”
After saying that, Tang Jingyi gave Wang Yan a look and said, “Right, Wang Yan?”
Wang Yan smiled faintly and said, “Of course.”
After giving a few more instructions, the bald boss hurried to the entrance, looking expectantly.
After a while, the bald boss’s face was filled with smiles as he loudly shouted, “Boss Qin, you’ve arrived, please co in, please co in.”
Just then, seven or eight n entered. One of them had a dark complexion, wearing a black suit, and the others followed this man closely.
The bald boss imdiately nodded and bowed beside this Boss Qin, fawningly saying, “Boss Qin, you haven’t been here in a long ti. I wonder if the food at my small place doesn’t suit your taste anymore.”
This Boss Qin casually said, “Not bad, still quite good. Today I brought my brothers to have a taste.”
As the two of them were talking, they started to walk forward.
Wang Yan happened to be standing in the direction they were advancing, and Boss Qin imdiately stopped, staring dumbly at Wang Yan, full of surprise.
And as Wang Yan saw Boss Qin, he couldn’t help but let out a wry smile.
It turns out this Boss Qin was Qin Tian.
Back then, Qin Tian was one of the leaders of the Eight Great Gangs on Eight Great Street. Later, he sought refuge with Wang Yan, and now he’s a vice president at Peak Group, essentially San’s assistant.
Qin Tian hadn’t expected to see Wang Yan here, and at the mont he hesitated about whether to address Wang Yan.
At this point, the bald boss also saw Wang Yan standing in the way and hurriedly shouted, “Step aside, don’t block the way. Didn’t you see that Boss Qin is coming?”
Seeing that the bald boss dared to reproach Wang Yan, Qin Tian’s face turned cold, and he was about to get angry.
Wang Yan quickly raised an eyebrow and gave Qin Tian a look, imdiately stopping Qin Tian from speaking.
Qin Tian was stunned, not understanding Wang Yan’s intention, but being a smart person, he imdiately held his tongue.
At this ti, Tang Jingyi quickly ca over and pulled Wang Yan aside, apologizing to the bald boss and the others with a smile, “Sorry, sorry, please co in, bosses.”
Seeing the pure-looking Tang Jingyi, Qin Tian imdiately understood why Wang Yan could work here as a runner, and he gave a knowing smile to Wang Yan.
The bald boss eagerly led Qin Tian to a large table at the innermost part of the hall, saying, “Boss Qin, don’t take offense, he’s new here. Please, please.”
Qin Tian gave a dismissive expression to Wang Yan and then followed the bald boss to the table in the depths of the hall, thinking to himself: Wang Yan really is remarkable; he’s not only great at business but also charming with won. Just look, the lady must be a pure-hearted girl. Maybe it’s even her first ti.
Wang Yan, of course, didn’t know about Qin Tian’s filthy thoughts and was imdiately pulled by Tang Jingyi to serve the dishes in the back kitchen.
The n behind Qin Tian were all employees of the Peak Group; they were Qin Tian’s forr subordinates, but their ranks were too low to recognize Wang Yan, let alone realize that they had just brushed past their big boss.
They, seeing Qin Tian paused and stared at Wang Yan, thought Qin Tian had a liking for Tang Jingyi.
So, as soon as everyone sat down, one of the n imdiately joked to Qin Tian, “Boss Qin, I think you’ve got your eyes on that little runner girl. Good taste; she really looks genuine.”
This man intended to curry favor with Qin Tian, and since Qin Tian had a rough past, he usually wouldn’t mind and would laugh it off.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this man’s words, Qin Tian’s face changed, and he hurriedly scolded, “Nonsense, say any more, and I’ll twist your mouth.”
Upon hearing Qin Tian’s scolding, the man was instantly dumbfounded, puzzled as to which nerve of Qin Tian he had hit.
Just then, Wang Yan happened to co over with two plates of food.
Seeing this, Qin Tian stood up quickly, taking the plates from Wang Yan with both hands and placing them on the table himself.
This act made Qin Tian’s subordinates widen their eyes in surprise, not understanding why Qin Tian was acting so unusually today, and they all sat there dumbfounded, staring at him.
After setting down the plates, Qin Tian imdiately glared at the subordinates sitting at the table and scolded, “Idiots, why aren’t you helping to serve the food?”
The underlings, not understanding Qin Tian’s intention, all pointed at Wang Yan and hesitantly asked, “Boss, don’t we already have runners here? Why should we serve the dishes?”
