Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

Fang Baozhu, who was sitting opposite, breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. I won't bother you anymore. Just prepare in advance. Don't worry if the price is a little higher. I'll make it up to you later."

The next day, Ai Shutong arrived at Qinghong Building before eleven o'clock.

The waiter saw her come in and came up to her directly, "Miss, how many people are there?"

Ai Shutong looked at the roof at a 45-degree angle and said with a haughty expression, "I am a classmate of your employer Tang E. I am inviting an important client to dinner today. Please prepare a large private room for ten people for me!"

When the waiter heard this, he immediately took it seriously. He first took Ai Shutong to the "Mu" box on the second floor, and then went to find the shopkeeper.

"Boss, a young lady just came and said she was a classmate of our Tang family. Do you want to send her some food?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately stood up and ordered, "Go and make a pot of good tea. I'll deliver it personally."

After a while, the shopkeeper came to the private room where Ai Shutong was holding tea.

"Miss, this is the new Maojian this year. Please try it and see if it suits your taste!"

Ai Shutong was sorting documents on the table. After hearing the shopkeeper's words, she put the documents down and said, "Oh? New tea? Pour me a cup and try it!"

The shopkeeper was ordered around like this, but he wasn't angry. He poured her a cup of tea with a smile on his face. Just as he was about to put it next to her, Ai Shutong stopped him immediately, "Hey! Don't put it here. I have to discuss something with a client today. This is a contract that I prepared in advance. What if it gets wet?"

The shopkeeper took a quick glance and saw the words "Fengda Machinery Flour Mill". When he wanted to look at it again, Ai Shutong had closed the document.

"Okay, miss, I'll put the tea here for you, enjoy it!"

"I'm the owner of Qinghonglou. I heard that you are my classmate, so I came to meet you. Do you want to order now or later?"

Ai Shutong said casually: "Let's order when the guests arrive later!"

"By the way, has your boss been feeling better recently? I went to the hospital to see him some time ago, and his injuries were pretty serious!"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he knew that the boss was injured and had visited the boss in the hospital. He must have a special relationship with him. He said quickly, "It is true that the injury is serious, but our boss thought the hospital ward was too small, so he went home to recuperate after he was out of danger. Thank you for your concern. What's your name?"

Ai Shutong thought to herself, you finally asked. If you didn’t ask, I would have to find a way to introduce myself!

"My name is Ai Shutong!"

The shopkeeper said politely, "It's Miss Ai. The kitchen has just cooked some bird's nest today. I'll have someone serve you a bowl. You can eat while waiting for customers, and you won't feel bored."

Ai Shutong waved her hand and opened the file again to read it.

The shopkeeper tiptoed out.

Back at the counter, the shopkeeper directly told the waiter, "Go, serve a bowl of bird's nest to the classmate of the boss upstairs."

After the young man left, the shopkeeper picked up the phone on the counter and dialed.

"Hello? Is this the Tang Mansion? I'm Tang Guifa from Qinghong Building. Is the boss here?"

"Okay, okay, I'll wait a moment, you go get someone!"

After a moment, Tang E's cold voice came from the receiver, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

The shopkeeper whispered softly, "Boss, a fashionable lady just came. Her name is Ai Shutong. She said she is your classmate and is going to entertain clients at Qinghonglou. I gave her a bowl of bird's nest. Do you want me to reduce some of the fees?"

When Tang E heard this, he immediately sneered, "Humph! Ai Shutong has become successful. She has come to me to eat and drink for free, and you are giving her bird's nest?"

"When she pays the bill, she can't pay a penny less!"

After a pause, he added: "No, you have to include the money for the bowl of bird's nest. I can't lose money."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he thought to himself, how can this be a classmate? They are more like enemies.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to the boss."

Just as he agreed and was about to say goodbye, he heard Tang E's curious voice, "What client is she meeting?"

The shopkeeper was confused at first, but then he thought of the Fengda Machinery Flour Mill he had just seen, and said, "The customer hasn't come yet, but the lady came with a contract, and it says Fengda Machinery Flour Mill."

"Bang—bang—"

After the sound of something falling to the ground, Tang E's voice came again, "Her client will be here soon, lead him to another box."

At this time, the shopkeeper already regretted making this call. He had originally wanted to take credit for it, but unexpectedly he got into trouble.

The boss said it easily, but if I did it and was discovered by the customers and investigated, it would damage the reputation of Qinghonglou. It would be a big deal whether I could continue to work as the shopkeeper.

I have elderly parents and young children to take care of, and they all depend on him for support!

"Crack-pump-"

The shopkeeper, who was so regretful that his intestines turned green, slapped himself twice.

"Tang Guifa, what are you doing? Did you hear me?"

Tang E's impatient voice came from the receiver.

The shopkeeper came to his senses and said immediately: "I heard it, I heard it, but if we wait too long and the two groups of people find out what's going on, how will it end?"

Tang E said disdainfully: "I am a department director after all. How can you be so timid when you follow me?!"

The shopkeeper was sweating. He wiped his sweat with his sleeve and explained, "Your classmates are not simple people. How can I, a commoner, afford to offend them?"

Tang E thought about the loss he had suffered at the hands of Ai Shutong and agreed, "You are right, don't worry! I will rush over and take care of the rest. I will not push you to the front to take the blame."

The shopkeeper took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's do as the boss says."

After hanging up the phone, the shopkeeper quickly called two waiters and told them, "If anyone comes looking for Ai Shutong later, take them to the innermost box on the first floor. Do you understand?"

The two waiters were puzzled but nodded anyway.

The shopkeeper was afraid that it might not be safe and ruin the boss's business, so he said, "You two go and inform the other people who are coming to work today. Remember to make sure they are clearly informed and don't lead them to the wrong place!"

The two waiters nodded in agreement and went to do their work.

The shopkeeper stopped thinking and just stared at the door, afraid that he might miss the customer and let him go upstairs.

At around eleven o'clock, Liu Zhenhui came over. She first looked up at the plaque. The three large gold-plated characters "Qinghong Building" were written in a vigorous and powerful manner.

"This is it."

"Just stand guard at the door, there's no need to follow me in."

A messenger and a maid bowed their heads and said "Yes."

Liu Zhenhui walked in wearing black leather high heels, "click, click, click".

The shopkeeper was very sharp-eyed. When he saw a fashionable girl coming in, he quickly trotted out of the counter to greet her.

As soon as the waiter approached, he was chased away, "I'll serve this lady, you go do something else!"
