Chapter 270: Failed recruitment

As usual, when he was showing them something on the internet, he simply projected the image for them all to see.

From what everyone is seeing, it made no sense that a new page for a new business had that number of followers already.

"Look, they are mostly commenting about Meili’s good looks." Chi Zimo said.

"Aah, I understand now." Chi Rui said mysteriously. His gaze then moved to Meili who was sitting straight behind the counter.

Chi Rui looked at him with great interest and attraction, like a child who had just made a realization that there was a shiny sweet dangling in front of their eyes this whole time.

Papa Chi noticed the look and he asked his wife, "Why is he looking at him at like that?"

Could it be that his son was.....

Before Papa Chi could finish his outrageous thought, Chi Rui opened his mouth and said something else.

"Meili," he called as he approached the counter," Have you ever considered joining the acting industry? You have the perfect looks to become a celebrity."

Chi Rui could see Meili’s star power already. With looks and height like this, Meili would have millions of female fans eating out of the palm of his hands.

Everyone took another look at Meili and they all concurred with Chi Rui’s theory, including Chi Lian.

"I only work for the mistress." Meili answered.

Since he had called Chi Lian mistress earlier, Chi Rui looked at his younger sister and asked, "Sis, have you considered allowing Meili to join phoenix Ent, with good training he might become a major star in the empire. "

Chi Lian secretly rolled her eyes, thinking to herself that there was no way she would ever allow such a thing. What if someday he was performing and he started electrocuting or speaking like a terminator? Or what if his skin melted off and it was revealed that he was not human? Having Meili far away from her control was not a feasible idea at the moment. He was like a product which was still in trial and it had to be studied lest the consequences later be dire.

"No way brother, I need him here to attract all those young girls to my tea shop. Moreover, Meili likes his privacy, if you were him, wouldn’t you?"

Everyone was quick to jump to the conclusion that Meili liked his privacy because of his sexual orientation.

"But staying here to serve tea is useless." Chi Rui said in a pained tone with a sad look of loss on his face.

"I like serving tea." Meili answered.

His answers were always brief and short. It was as if he opened his mouth to say more, he would exhaust himself.

"But," Chi Rui said once more in protest and mama Chi cut him off this time.

"Give up already son, he is your sister’s employee, there are very many good looking boys in the empire whose resumes we have at the company. Pick from those ones and nurture them."

Chi Rui was miserable when he saw the uninterested dismissive look on Meili’s face but he knew that this was a lost endeavor for now. Secretly, he planned to continue trying to recruit Meili in secret. If he succeeded, he would beg for forgiveness later.

"Sister people are asking if the emperor’s courts allows commoners to come in." Chi Zimo announced.

"Ha! Are they pretending that they don’t know the rules, no commoners are allowed in the emperor’s courts unless they have a special permission or a visitors pass." The grand emperor said after letting out a really loud snort.

All the shops in the emperor’s courts specifically catered to it’s population. Of course, most of them were basically luxurious branches of the aristocratic families businesses. And they charged high prices for the convenience of bringing these goods and services close to the residents who were all mostly wealthy.

To his embarrassment, Mei-Mei laughed at him and said "Piggy," because of the snort.

Everyone was silenced and they tried hard not to laugh but it was impossible so they eventually laughed at him.

"Sorry, the child is just learning how to speak; she has been learning animal sounds lately." Chi Lian apologized with embarrassment on her face.

The queen dowager waved her hand and answered, "It’s not the child’s fault that the old man decided to snort. If she knows how to recognize animal sounds already it’s proof that she is smart."

The grand emperor looked at his wife with a betrayed look on his face. Where was his justice for being called a pig?

"But you should compensate his emotional injury with some catties of peanuts." The queen dowager added.

The grand duke remembered the taste of the peanuts and smiled, indeed, his wife was the best at looking out for him. If he could get even more good things out of Chi Lian’s glue like hands by snorting again, he would do it right now. But he didn’t want to be embarrassed in public again.

"I will send ten catties to the palace before the night ends. In fact, I will add other good things to the package." Chi Lian replied with a smile.

The grand emperor smiled slyly and surprised everyone by saying, "Good great grand daughter, do you want grandpa to snort again?"

Suddenly everyone started laughing again. They were all having a good time which came to an end eventually. To her surprise and pleasure, they all decided to pay for their drinks and snacks without Chi Lian asking them to.

The old madam and grand dowager were planning to patronize the shop more often because they spent a lot of time at home idle. Now, they could spend time at the comfortable tea shop which had a television that they had noticed at the last moment from where they could watch their favorite shows in comfort while sitting on the comfortable sofas sipping sweet tea.

Chi Lian did not mind, she knew they would certainly pay for whatever they ate and they would bring their friends over.

With that agreement made, the grand emperor and queen dowager left first and the rest followed closely.

As soon as the others left, Meili and Chi Zimo started cleaning up while Chi Lian updated the official page with pictures that the drone had been snapping all this while. She chose the most beautiful pictures before the tea, snacks and nutro had been served.

She also added a soon opening in another location notice. Of course, her next location would depend on where another Chu family shop was located.
