The streamer was so beautiful and charming that the guy jumped right in.

Tea and snacks were served quickly.

Although Qi Nian was very hungry, she ate elegantly, which was pleasing to the eye. Xing Che and the others were the same; their every move was perfectly graceful, making them a pleasure to watch.

Perhaps this is one of the required courses for these CEOs.

Pu Xi wasn't very hungry, so she ate in daze, or rather, she was stimulating her appetite while admiring the handsome man.

Seeing that Pu Xi was staring at him, Qi Nian smiled slightly and said, "Does Xi Xi not recognize me as she looks at me like that?"

"It's been so long since I've seen Boss Qi. If I don't pay attention, I don't know when I'll see him again," she said casually.

"If Xixi wants to keep seeing him, that's not impossible."

Pu Xi was puzzled. What did "prayer" mean?

Seeing Pu Xi's adorable blank expression, Qi Nian smiled and said, "Silly."

What's wrong with her? She's incredibly smart!

"Where is it?"

"Rinse your mouth with some tea."

"it is good."

Seeing the way the tea master looked at Qi Nian when he came in, it felt like I was back in Y City when I had dinner with Qi Nian.

It wasn't as awkward back then as it is now.

The system popped up right after I finished reading the whole story of why Prayer was here. Oh, I see.

"Host, host."

"what?"

Do you want to know why the prayer is here?

"Wasn't he in Fan City on a business trip?"

The system shook its head.

It seems she wasn't overthinking things; all those seemingly accidental encounters were actually carefully orchestrated coincidences.

"Host, you'd never guess why Qi Nian is in Fan City?"

"because I?"

The system was somewhat shocked: "Although I think you can be really narcissistic at times, I have to say you guessed right."

"why?"

Even though the last time ended badly, my favorability rating dropped to 35.

“I’ve been watching these past few days. After the last unpleasant parting with the host, Qi Nian calmed down for two days and then had people keep an eye on all of the host’s movements. So Qi Nian actually knows about the host’s affairs with other people.”

She wasn't surprised that Qi Nian knew these things, but she was still a little surprised that he had someone keep an eye on her.

"and then?"

"Then, after learning that you had broken off your relationships with everyone else, he also struggled with the situation. During that time, his feelings for the host were practically jumping back and forth."

"now what?"

"Currently, Qi Nian's favorability towards the host is 65. Comment: Liking is liking."

This is the same as Su Yunye's level of affection for her.

Pu Xi couldn't understand why this was happening.

“Host, I think it was your initiative at the beginning that led to their current situation. Think about it, how enthusiastic were you at the beginning? You used all sorts of methods to woo them, and as a result, they all thought they were the only ones and were all moved. Later, they found out, hey, there are other people besides him.”

"So shouldn't this make things even less likely to succeed?"

"But that's how men are. If you stop taking the initiative, they'll want you to take the initiative again. They'll think they're the only ones who matter, and that you're just playing around with everyone else. They'll keep brainwashing themselves, and that's how they end up like this."

Pu Xi frowned slightly.

"The premise that made them like this is that the host had deeply wooed them before, and they were all attracted to the host. Moreover, the host did not end up with anyone afterward, so they felt that they still had a chance. That's the key point."

"Some habits are hard to change once they are formed, and some things are impossible to quit once you become addicted."

"Drink tea."

Qi Nian placed a cup of tea in front of Pu Xi, bringing Pu Xi back to her senses.

"Thank you."

Pu Xi picked up the teacup and took a small sip, tasting the tea. The tea was quite good, much better than last time.

Looking up at the tea master, she was quite good-looking. If it weren't for the occasional glance at Qi Nian, her tea-making skills and demeanor would make one feel as if they were in nature, giving them a comfortable and leisurely feeling.

However, her occasional furtive glances disrupted her elegant demeanor while brewing tea, creating a contrast with the comfortable and leisurely atmosphere and detracting from the overall aesthetic.

Qi Nian followed Pu Xi's gaze and glanced at the tea master. The tea master looked at Qi Nian and saw her eyes shining brightly, which also reflected her ambitious nature.

Pu Xi merely admired the beautiful tea master's tea-making skills, but Qi Nian thought Pu Xi disliked the tea master's gaze, and indeed, the gaze was somewhat unpleasant.

"If you don't like it, just choose another one."

The tea master immediately stood up, bowed, and apologized: "Madam, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong."

Pu Xi looked puzzled. Why was she replaced? She hadn't done anything.

The tea master looked pitifully at Qi Nian, who remained unmoved and continued sipping her tea.

In a panic, the tea master knelt down before Pu Xi: "Madam, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong. Please don't replace me. This job is very important to me, and I can't live without it."

Pu Xi "?"

How did she become a sinner? She didn't do anything, and the person who said to replace you was clearly praying for you, so why are you kneeling before me?

Although Pu Xi didn't know what had happened, she still weakly asked, "How about we just forget about it?"

Qi Nian put down the cup and said, "Okay."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you," the tea master said, expressing his gratitude three times in a row.

"Go down."

The tea master, still shaken, left the private room.

"This teahouse is becoming increasingly unruly in its demands on its employees."

Although she didn't know why Qi Nian said that, she thought it was fine, and it wasn't as serious as it sounded like there were no rules.

What Pu Xi thought was a simple matter was a very serious matter to others.

Before Pu Xi could even finish a cup of tea, the manager of the teahouse, Fan Shi, appeared in the private room looking quite flustered.

Pu Xi realized that the teahouse was actually a business for prayer.

"President, it is my fault for not managing my subordinates properly. Please punish me."

Qi Nian didn't say anything, letting the person in charge stand there uneasy. Pu Xi could see that the person in charge was sweating profusely.

Oh my god, we just talked about this in the last meeting. The person in charge of Y City, because the president went to dinner, a mid-level tea master tried to curry favor with the guest but ended up currying favor with his own president instead. And I heard that the president's wife was also there at the time.

As a result, not only was the intermediate tea master dismissed, but the person in charge in Y City was also replaced.

He repeatedly emphasized that store managers should manage their employees well and not allow them to have any ulterior motives, thinking that they can become rich just because they have some good looks. In reality, there are no such good things. He had repeatedly warned them, so how could this still happen?

Unfortunately, she ran into her own CEO and his wife having a meal. Actually, it was the CEO's fault. He's so handsome and rich, what girl wouldn't have some other thoughts about him?

If he weren't a man, he would have had other thoughts too.

Pu Xi initially thought the matter wasn't that serious, but since it seemed to be a matter within the Qi Nian Company, she couldn't really say anything.
