Witch Special

Lin Zhenxi suspected that Liu Angxing and Zhou Meili had found other investors without his knowledge, but he had no evidence.

But this didn't seem to matter much. The contract clearly spelled out Lin Zhenxi's rights, and with the "company" as her backing, Lin Zhenxi wasn't worried about being ripped off, confident that the "company" would protect her legal rights. She was just a preferred shareholder, providing Liu Angxing and Zhou Meili with start-up capital, with no involvement in decision-making, only waiting for dividends. As long as profits were guaranteed, how Xinju Xialou developed didn't really matter to her.

The fact that the hovercars were still clogging up the entrance to Xinjuxialou, despite it being lunchtime, proved that Xinjuxialou's customer flow was absolutely guaranteed, and its profitability was undoubtedly a non-issue. As long as it could make money, that was all that mattered. Lin Zhenxi had given up on trying to figure out whether Liu Angxing and Zhou Meili had other sources of funding.

Despite the traffic jam, the parking and boarding of the hovercars were all controlled by Denor Mobility's artificial intelligence, so there were no major traffic jams caused by the varying skills of the drivers. Despite the temporary traffic jam, Lin Zhenxi and her companions' hovercars continued to move forward at a very steady snail's pace, so it didn't feel irritating.

After about five minutes of traffic jam, Lin Zhenxi and her friends' hovercraft finally arrived at the gate of the hovercraft.

If it were anywhere else, a doorman would have come to help Lin Zhenxi and the others open the car door and then help them drive the car to the parking garage. But this was New Blue City, which had fundamentally solved the problem of difficult and expensive parking, so the ancient profession of doorman had no place to survive.

Often, it's not your competitors who defeat you, but rather the unconscious oppression of interdisciplinary giants. Who could have imagined that the widespread adoption of electronic payments would inadvertently kill off the age-old profession of pickpocketing? When everyone clings to their phones instead of their wallets, pickpockets run out of things to steal, forcing them to switch to other occupations.

The same goes for doormen. This ancient profession, which has been passed down from ancient times to the present, has been killed by intelligent driving. It is quite sad to think about it.

Lin Zhenxi climbed out of the hovercraft first, then turned and stretched out her hand to Yan Qing. Yan Qing placed her hand in Lin Zhenxi's palm. Lin Zhenxi squeezed her hand and felt that her palm seemed to be a size smaller than his own.

The lively cat girl jumped out of the hovercraft and naturally took Lin Zhenxi's arm, then pulled her arm and dragged her towards the revolving door at the entrance. Lin Zhenxi was dragged by Yan Qing for a few steps before she caught up with her. However, because she rarely wore high heels, the shoes on her feet felt a little tight, and her walking speed was also slower than usual.

That’s good too, it’s exactly in sync with Yan Qing.

While doormen may no longer exist, greeters still exist, and they haven't been replaced by advanced AI robots. While AI is now capable of handling many jobs, there are only so many jobs in society. If all were taken by robots, what would humans do?

People need to work. If someone is unemployed, even if the government supports them and gives them a large monthly salary, perhaps even higher than their actual salary, they are still destined to be restless. As long as people are idle, they will inevitably cause trouble. Therefore, a key indicator of social stability is the employment rate. As long as everyone has a job, society will generally be stable.

The chaotic state of European countries is also due to their high welfare and unemployment rates. Africa is even worse, as a lack of jobs and sky-high unemployment have led to social unrest, warlordism, clan warfare, and frequent regime changes, leaving no hope or future.

Of course, this isn't entirely the fault of Africans. While they're lazy and stupid, with an average IQ of only 70 to 80, seriously hindering humanity, the African continent is a fertile land rich in resources. Western countries have been plotting their expansion in Africa for centuries, but with these troublemakers in the fold, any signs of development in Africa are instantly thwarted. Under the influence of such external interference, Africa is doomed to remain stagnant, with no chance of development.

However, there have been some different signs recently. The awakening Africans seem to be trying to get rid of the influence of the West with the help of a mysterious force. Maybe in the future, Africa will be able to develop a decent economy and civilization like other places?

After all, a country with a stable society is a qualified market, where there is sufficient purchasing desire to consume surplus goods. And the market is exactly what is most in short supply now.

After registering their reservation information with the receptionist, Lin Zhenxi and Yan Qing immediately received an exceptional reception. The receptionist directly called a colleague to take over his position, and then personally led Lin Zhenxi and Yan Qing into the hotel.

Although Lin Zhenxi herself didn't know it, her information in the hotel system was framed with gold, and her level was directly maxed out. When the receptionist saw Lin Zhenxi's name with a gold frame while registering her information, she almost burst out with excitement.

Xinju Xialou has only been open for two months. To be able to reach the level of Phnom Penh customers, how much money must this beautiful woman have spent in the hotel? I don't know, but she is a VIP anyway, so I have to treat her well. Maybe if I treat these two well, my performance review this month will be much higher.

If I could really get a bonus next month, I might be able to buy that cosmetics set I'd been eyeing. With such a happy thought in mind, the receptionist's smile grew even brighter.

Led by the receptionist, Lin Zhenxi and the others arrived at a dedicated elevator located in a corner. Unlike the public elevators that were frequently used by guests, this elevator was actually hidden. If the receptionist hadn't swiped her card, Lin Zhenxi wouldn't have even noticed there was an elevator hidden in the wall.

Only after the elevator doors opened did Lin Zhenxi discover that it was actually a capsule-shaped observation elevator, offering a truly expansive view. As the elevator ascended, the view beyond the curved glass windows shifted from a bird's-eye view of the five-story reception hall to a panoramic view of the new blue river beyond the Burj Al Arab's curtain wall. Beside the shimmering river, the magnificent Burj Al Arab seemed poised to set sail, brimming with a bold and enterprising spirit.

Perhaps when the owner of "Big Joy" first built this luxury hotel, he sincerely wanted to make a name for himself in this city. However, the logic that had worked in other cities didn't apply here, and he ultimately ended up leaving the company in disgrace.

Those who are accustomed to relying on tricks to achieve shameful victories do not deserve sympathy.

As the capsule elevator climbed higher and higher along the main structure of the sailboat, the view became increasingly distant. The Burj Al Arab Hotel was quite high in New Blue City. While not the highest, it at least commanded a commanding view of the entire street ahead. Soon, not only could they overlook the intersection of the New Blue River, but even the buildings before them were at their feet, their gaze fixed on them from above.

This feeling...only wind and fools like to run to high places, but the scenery is really nice.

As the observation elevator came to an end, they arrived at the revolving restaurant atop the Burj Al Arab. Its overall design resembled the lookout on a sailboat, and in pirate-themed films and TV shows, it was usually the lookout at this location who first sounded the "Enemy Attack!!!!" alarm.

This is also the highest-end location in the entire Burj Al Arab, which can be seen from its height.

The capsule elevator finally stopped at the lobby of the revolving restaurant. The elevator door opened and the receptionist walked out first. Then she stood at the door and bowed, "inviting" Lin Zhenxi and Yan Qing out.

Lin Zhenxi's performance was relatively calm, but Yan Qing was more exaggerated. She stared with her big eyes and looked left and right, just like Granny Liu who entered the Grand View Garden.

The decoration inside the revolving restaurant has not been changed yet, and it still maintains the original main color of "Big Happiness" that is bright red, big gold, rich and noble, with red carpet, golden pillars and white glazed tiles, almost making the three big words "I'm rich!" appear on the public screen.

There were still some diners dining in the revolving restaurant, but it was clearly past mealtime and strictly speaking, it was afternoon tea time. Behind the screen, several tables of diners were seen chatting and laughing around the snacks and tea, though they weren't actually eating.

The receptionist took Lin Zhenxi and the others a few steps forward before she froze. At the same time, a head of fiery red hair first entered everyone's sight.

It was Zhou Meili, the current boss of the Xinju Xialou Catering Group. She came to personally receive Lin Zhenxi.

Zhou Meili was the immediate superior of everyone present. When they saw Zhou Meili appear, all the nearby waiters bowed to her, and the middle part of the entire revolving restaurant instantly became quiet.

At this moment, Zhou Meili's presence was overwhelming and the scene was extremely explosive.

Zhou Meili was already used to being treated this way. She waved her hand and said to the subordinates around her, "You guys should get busy. I'll take charge here from now on."

"Okay, Mr. Zhou." The receptionist who brought Lin Zhenxi and the others up nodded obediently, then turned and left.

Any normal employee would feel uncomfortable in front of the leader, not to mention that the level difference is so huge.

Oh my god, why are these two guests being received personally by the big boss? Who are they?
