Tycoon: I Have an Unlimited Modifier novel Chapter 228

Chapter 228: Chapter 140: The Most Conscientious Capitalist

Lei Ting, Qi Sheng’s exclusive financial director, would then transfer the money to the dealership’s account.

After the temporary license plate was issued, Chu Qing slid into the Jaguar XJ she had long dreamed of.

Hers was the all-wheel-drive panoramic business edition.

Equipped with a 3.0T V6 engine, its performance was formidable.

It was more than enough for her.

According to the salesperson, the XJ would cease production starting next year.

Owning one before it went out of production was its own kind of happiness.

As Jaguar’s top-of-the-line model, it was even once compared to the 7 Series, the A8, and the S-Class.

The XJ’s interior was, of course, exceptionally luxurious, possessing a refined, quintessentially British feel.

For Chu Qing, who had studied in the United Kingdom, the Jaguar’s gentlemanly charm was irresistibly appealing.

Gently pressing the accelerator, Chu Qing drove to Taikoo Li.

Even after parking her beloved car, she just stood there, unable to resist admiring it from every angle.

After quite some time, Chu Qing finally managed to pull herself away.

Following the location her friends had sent, Chu Qing arrived at the southwest corner of Taikoo Li, where Spicy King was located.

"So many people!"

Chu Qing saw a large crowd already queuing by number at the entrance.

Girls were posing for photos by the hot air balloon and a colorful tumbling panda display near the entrance, a clear sign the place had become an influencer hotspot.

"Hello, ma’am. How many are in your party?"

Seeing Chu Qing approach, the young woman working as a greeter came up enthusiastically and asked politely.

"I’m looking for your manager."

Chu Qing felt a little awkward about revealing who she was.

"Oh, my apologies. Please, come inside then?"

The young woman paused for a second before quickly recovering and extending the invitation.

"Thank you."

Chu Qing nodded her thanks and followed the young woman into the new building, a fusion of historical and modern architecture.

The courtyard featured a giant hot air balloon and a large blue panda.

Greenery with a *Wizard of Oz* theme was everywhere, instantly elevating the restaurant’s ambiance.

Once inside the main restaurant, she saw the staff bustling about in an orderly fashion.

The tables were packed with guests, a testament to how popular the restaurant was.

"Manager, this lady is here to see you."

The young woman led Chu Qing to Yuan Li before returning to her post at the entrance.

"Manager Yuan, hello. I’m Chu Qing. I’m... a friend of Qi Sheng’s."

Chu Qing faltered as she introduced herself.

She’d wanted to say she was Qi Sheng’s girlfriend but inexplicably felt a pang of insecurity.

In the end, she settled on the broader term "friend" to define their relationship.

"Hello, Miss Chu."

’Yuan Li mentally rolled her eyes.’

’This beauty must be another one of the boss’s "special friends."’

"Huahua and the others are too busy, and I’m free, so I thought I’d come help. Is there anything you need me to do?"

Chu Qing was eager to get started.

This was a rare chance to experience what it was like to be the boss’s wife.

"Er..."

Yuan Li felt a headache coming on, unsure how to respond to Chu Qing’s eager expression.

"How about you work the register? I can have one of the front desk staff teach you. You’ll pick it up in no time."

Yuan Li figured that putting Chu Qing at the front desk was the most suitable arrangement.

Compared to the back-breaking work of serving tables or slaving away in the kitchen, working the register was much easier.

"Okay, I’ll do whatever you arrange."

Chu Qing could sense Yuan Li’s predicament and gave a slightly embarrassed smile.

"Xiaozhuo, could you show Miss Chu the ropes?"

Yuan Li handed Chu Qing off to Zhuo Ran, the front desk cashier, and then bustled off to deal with other matters.

"Sister Qing, you’re so beautiful!"

Zhuo Ran was considered the prettiest female employee in the restaurant.

But in front of Chu Qing, even she felt a bit plain in comparison.

"You’re very pretty too," Chu Qing smiled, not at all arrogant. "I bet you have a lot of suitors."

The fact that there were several women in their group chat even more beautiful than her was enough to keep her humble.

"It’s fine, I guess, but I find them too immature. There’s nothing better than earning your own money to spend as you please."

Zhuo Ran gave Chu Qing hands-on training, familiarizing her with the point-of-sale system and her duties.

All in all, it wasn’t difficult.

Compared to the exhausted runners in the front of house and the dishwashers in the back who had to wash an endless supply of plates and fruit, the cashier job was much more relaxing.

Of course, the easier job had its downsides.

For instance, it was very difficult for them to win the "Employee of the Month" award.
