Zi Qing let out a sigh.

Since Lin Zinuo had spoken to this extent, it was hard for her to advise otherwise.

“Then let’s go.”

“Great, Sister Zi Qing!”

Zhou Qian and the others cheered excitedly.

To know that this kind of restaurant was one they, even with their high salaries, normally dared not enter.

A noteworthy day was needed to even consider it.

So, they made their way to Jixian Inn, chatting and laughing together.

The mature-looking female manager with a mole at the corner of her mouth was standing by the entrance to welcome guests.

Upon seeing such a large group of customers arriving, her eyes instantly lit up.

“Dear honored guests, would you like to dine with us?”

“No kidding, do you have a private room?”

Lin Zinuo replied in a commanding tone.

“We do, but it might not accommodate so many of you.

If you don’t mind, however, I can clear an area inside the ground floor dining room for you.

We can put tables together, and you’ll still have very good privacy, without any disturbances,” the competent female manager responded, adept in handling the situation.

“Fine, let’s do that,” Lin Zinuo answered, nodding.

“Please come this way.

My name is An Li, and I’m the manager of this restaurant.

Choosing us is certainly the wisest decision.

We have a variety of delicacies here, guaranteed to satisfy you all…”

Under An Li’s enthusiastic welcome, Su Mo and his companions stepped into the restaurant.

“Welcome!”

The uniformed handsome men and beautiful women inside bowed and greeted them.

Su Mo quickly scanned the interior.

The restaurant’s décor was very distinctive, featuring a predominantly natural wood style.

Nowadays, few dared to use such a style due to the exorbitant cost!

This also reflected the restaurant’s significant strength.

“This way, please!”

The female manager led Su Mo and the others towards the inner part of the restaurant.

As they passed by young female waitresses, they bowed and greeted them.

“Hello.”

Among them was Lan Xi, who bowed instinctively to greet them.

However, as she straightened up, her body suddenly stiffened, and her eyes betrayed a flash of panic.

She quickly lowered her head.

She had seen Su Mo, the center of attention amongst the crowd.

“The atmosphere here is really nice.”

“Su Mo, you sure know how to pick a place.

You wouldn’t happen to be a regular here, would you?”

…..

Zhou Qian and the others chatted and joked with Su Mo.

“It’s okay,” Su Mo replied indifferently, as usual.

Soon, they passed by Lan Xi and the others and headed towards the inside.

Lan Xi watched Su Mo’s retreating figure, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

It was fortunate that Su Mo hadn’t seen her, but for some reason, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable inside.

“Lan Xi, what are you daydreaming for?

Hurry up and help in the kitchen,” a middle-aged woman with pale skin, prominent features, and a deputy manager’s badge hanging on her chest called out to Lan Xi sternly.

“Yes, Sister Xiong.”

Lan Xi quickly responded.

“Be more efficient and don’t slack off.

Don’t think you’re superior just because you’re somewhat good-looking.

Let me tell you, this is Imperial City, where beautiful women are never in short supply.

The fact that we let you work off the books here is already taking good care of you,” Sister Xiong scolded without mincing her words.

“Yes, yes.”

Lan Xi hurriedly walked toward the kitchen.

In Imperial City, a standard workday is pretty short, and the salary is relatively okay, with the treatment being passable.

But if you want to earn more money, you need to work “off the books.”

The so-called off-the-books job means a significant drop in treatment.

For instance, a waiter assigned to this job through official channels can earn at least 500-600 a month, with very short working hours, about four hours or so.

However, an off-the-books worker’s hours are incredibly long, and for the same amount of work, they could only make about 300, nearly half as much.

And the usual work they do is also the most exhausting and strenuous.

The most critical point is that workers assigned to service positions usually have the easiest tasks.

As long as they don’t make big mistakes, managers generally won’t reproach them.

After all, their existence is more about quotas.

But off-the-books workers aren’t so lucky; the essence of capital is to maximize profits.

They will squeeze out the value of these workers as much as possible.

Even so, a spot for an off-the-books worker is exceedingly precious, with countless people vying for it.

At this time, Su Mo and his group had all taken their seats.

An Li handed menus to Lin Zinuo and the others, smiling as she said, “Our menu is quite comprehensive; these are our signature dishes.

You can take a look.

Additionally, our restaurant supports personalized ordering.

Whatever flavors you wish to have, or any specific requests for dishes, we will convey them to the chef to satisfy your tastes as much as possible.”

Lin Zinuo looked at the menu and took a deep breath; the prices seemed okay at first glance.

But it was the quantity of dishes ordered that added up to a terrifying total.

Su Mo glanced at the menu as well.

The entire menu was divided into two parts.

The left section listed hundreds of dishes, each priced at several tens of yuan, and it was an abundant selection—everything from seafood, to land-roaming and sky-flying creatures, was available.

The right section had significantly fewer dishes, only a dozen or so.

However, each dish was incredibly expensive, starting at several hundred yuan, with some even reaching a thousand.

But each dish had three words clearly marked after it: pollution-free!

Su Mo briefly perused the menu but didn’t pay much attention to it; his focus was on the busy wait staff.

He quickly noticed something: the girls standing at the entrance to greet guests didn’t look nearly as good as Lan Xi.

Lan Xi seemed to be doing the most exhausting work, looking like she was an off-the-books worker.

While Su Mo was deep in thought, Lin Zinuo called out.

“Su Mo.”

“Hm?

What is it?”

Su Mo raised his head to look at Lin Zinuo.

“What do you want to eat?”

Lin Zinuo asked attentively, half-jokingly as this time the main person they were treating was him.

“Anything, it’s all fine.”

“How can it just be ‘anything?’ Don’t be polite, what do you want to eat?”

“No, really, whatever you all eat, I’ll eat.”

Su Mo replied very modestly.

Seeing Su Mo’s modesty, Lin Zinuo instinctively misunderstood, wondering if he was looking down on her ability to afford the meal?

Her face sagged a bit at this thought; she had to save face.

When had she ever lost face while treating someone to a meal?

“Don’t be like that; you’ve contributed the most this time.

As the number one hero, you should have a good meal.

I’ll order for you.

Snowflake Story (pollution-free), 500 yuan; Supreme Fresh Scallops (pollution-free), 800 yuan; Emperor Snow Crab Soup (pollution-free), 1000 yuan…”

“What?”

Su Mo was dumbfounded by the dishes Lin Zinuo was ordering.

At the side, An Li’s eyes shone brighter as she watched Lin Zinuo; wealthy customer!

Zi Qing saw how Lin Zinuo was ordering and suddenly coughed, reminding her.

“Zinuo, that’s enough.”

Only then did Lin Zinuo snap back to reality, realizing that she might have lost her composure.

She quickly adjusted her demeanor, smiling as she said.
