Transmigrating into a book and becoming a female supporting character in a sadistic novel

Listening to the Rain Tower

A teahouse with a history of 200 years located in Qianmen, Beijing, covering an area of ​​ten acres and contracting an entire alley.

This is also Jiang Qi's exclusive commercial property besides Jinhuazhai.

It was an hour and a half later when Jiang Qi drove to Tingyu Tower.

Because there was no doorman here, she could only go around to the back and park in the underground parking lot.

After parking the car, Jiang Qi took the elevator to the main entrance. As she was in a hurry, she walked straight inside. However, she was stopped by someone after only two steps.

"Hello, how can I help you?" A boy dressed as a waiter stopped her.

Jiang Qi looked him up and down and asked, "Are you new here?" Her tone was obviously not good.

The boy was stunned. Although he had only worked here for half a year, he had never seen anyone who dared to speak like that. But thinking that he might be a regular customer of the teahouse, he still smiled and replied, "Excuse me, do you have a membership or reservation?"

Jiang Qi didn't respond to him but asked back, "How long have you been here?" Her voice had become cold and it was obvious that she had lost her patience.

"Half a year." The boy was frightened by Jiang Qi's aura and replied to her obediently.

"Have you become an apprentice?"

"Out."

"Who brought you?"

The rule of Tingyu Tower is that all hired people must sign a ten-year contract. Due to some special reasons, she never recruits people from outside and always relies on the elderly to bring them in. This is a rule that started from her ancestors' generation.

Logically speaking, the first thing a new person should do is to learn to recognize people, so he should not be unfamiliar with her.

Before the boy could speak, a female voice came from the other side: "Boss! My boss, why are you here just now? Master Shen has already changed three cups of tea." A beautiful woman with a cold look, wearing a blue cheongsam with gold embroidery and a bun on her hair, walked over.

"Youyou." Jiang Qi called in her direction.

"Manager." The boy also shouted anxiously, as if he had seen a life-saving straw.

"Why are you standing here?" Wen Youyou looked at them strangely.

Jiang Qi didn't even exchange pleasantries with her, and asked directly, "I'm glad you came. Who brought this person? I don't even know him."

After hearing Jiang Qi's words, Wen Youyou asked the boy in disbelief: "Zhaoan, you don't know her!?"

The boy named Zhaoan looked at the two of them and shook his head honestly.

Wen Youyou laughed dryly at Jiang Qi, then pulled Guo Zhaoan and whispered, "Didn't I show you the photos of the Dong family?"

"I didn't recognize him." Guo Zhaoan's face turned pale.

"Did you bring him here?" Jiang Qi asked Wen Youyou. Jiang Qi also heard it from their conversation.

"Yes." Wen Youyou didn't argue and admitted her mistake.

Jiang Qi was so angry that her face froze after getting the answer, but thinking that she still had to meet someone, she pressed the tip of her tongue against her back teeth to suppress her anger, and then she said, "Do you know the rules?"

"I'll go and receive the punishment right away." He replied without any hesitation.

"Where is Shen Zhiyi?"

"The Lanxuan Hall of the small theater."

After getting the answer, Jiang Qi left without wasting time with them.

The garden of the small theater is located on the east side, and it is not far from the entrance. Before entering the door, you can hear the stringed instruments and the mellow, soft, melodious and slow singing.

Jiang Qi stopped outside the door and listened for a while. After she heard which play it was, her expression was indescribable. It wasn't that the singing was bad, she just couldn't understand why Shen Zhiyi arranged a play called "Wall Horse" when there were so many Kunqu operas to choose from. They just played that play yesterday, so who is he going to do today?

Jiang Qi fell into self-doubt: was it not suitable for her to go out today, or hadn't done anything in Tingyu Tower for a long time?

He took a deep breath and adjusted himself. Jiang Qi just walked in. The waiter at the door saw someone coming in. He was slightly stunned at first and was about to ask, but after seeing who it was, he immediately lowered his head and said, "Hello, Boss. Mr. Shen is scheduled to stay in the Lanxuan Hall." As he spoke, his hand naturally brushed across the invisible intercom he was wearing to confirm whether it was normal.

Normally, no matter who comes in, the person greeting them at the door will call out on the intercom.

"Yeah." Jiang Qi replied softly, feeling a little relieved when she saw the man's performance. This was the level that her Tingyu Tower should have.

The small theater is not big, with two floors and a small stage. There are only ten tea tables in the lobby on the first floor, and four private rooms on the second floor are named after plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.

Because the small theater has a fixed performance time, and today's performance was unplanned, there were only a few elderly people sitting scattered in the front seats in the lobby below. Jiang Qi did not go forward to disturb them, but quietly went upstairs to the second floor from the back.

The waiter outside the box door saw her, lowered his head and called out, "Hello, Boss." Then he immediately opened the door for her, which made Jiang Qi feel a lot more relieved.

Pushing open the door of the private room and entering, there were four people including Shen Zhiyi. Jiang Qi was puzzled, only three?

Seeing that it was Jiang Qi, everyone who was sitting stood up. Shen Zhiyi quickly stepped forward and called out, "Miss," and took Jiang Qi's bag from her.

One of them looked at the older ones and took the lead in greeting Jiang Qi in a friendly manner: "Qi Qi is here!" The other two also looked at her with a smile.

"Hello, Uncle Shao." Jiang Qi greeted him first. Then he said with guilt, "I'm really sorry. I went out with my mother earlier to deliver some things to Grandma Yu, and we talked there for a while. I came late and kept you waiting for a long time."

Originally Jiang Qi was intentionally leaving people out in the cold, and now she brought up her mother and Old Yu, so even if they were unhappy they had no choice but to endure it.

"It's okay, it's okay. We just got here and haven't been waiting for long." Shao Youzhong quickly replied to her.

"That's good." He seemed relieved.

"These two look a little unfamiliar." Jiang Qi asked awkwardly as she looked at the two people beside him. She really didn't know them, and Shen Zhiyi didn't tell her in advance.

What's more important is that he has been standing there for such a long time and he didn't even bother to introduce her to the place. So she could only ask herself.

Shao Youzhong was wondering what Jiang Qi meant. How could she not know the person she had specifically invited? They had dealt with each other more than once or twice. This person was not simple. He had to listen to the tone of this little girl when talking to her, so he did not answer her.

Jiang Qi glanced at Shen Zhiyi, signaling him to start a conversation quickly. But the other party seemed to not understand at all, his eyes were clear, and his expression was even more confused than Jiang Qi's.

Fortunately, one of the three of them who looked younger, perhaps noticing Jiang Qi's embarrassment, introduced herself: "Hello, Miss Jiang. My name is Li and I'm the newly hired secretary of Director Shao. This is Section Chief Qiu from our Audit Department, who also just took up the position. So Miss Jiang may not know his face."

"Hello, Secretary Li." Jiang Qi quickly extended her hand to shake his hand and greet him, but more importantly, to thank him.

Then he shook hands with Section Chief Qiu next to him and said hello: "Hello, Section Chief Qiu."

Both of them just replied, "Hello, Miss Jiang." and didn't say anything extra.

Shao Youzhong also realized that Jiang Qi really didn't know them.

Shen Zhiyi also realized what his young lady had meant. He stood beside her with his back straight and cold sweat pouring out of his body.
