Bound to the Multiverse Restaurant, I'm now the darling of my staff.

"Hey, look, there's another employee today?"

"Wow, this guy is so handsome! He's such a cool guy, his looks are absolutely amazing!"

"I really want to ask the store manager, where did you find all these handsome guys? There's no way they've never been discovered before, right?"

"This store is amazing! From the manager to the staff, everyone is incredibly good-looking. I love it!"

Chu Ze had a cold expression, but his exceptional hearing as a martial artist allowed him to clearly hear what these people were saying.

Although I couldn't understand many of the words, I could roughly guess what they were saying.

He wasn't interested in any of that, only scoffing inwardly, keeping his eyes down and never looking up.

It wasn't that he didn't want to look up, but the women in this world were simply...

It was the height of summer, and most of the customers at the restaurant were girls.

So the whole hall was filled with girls dressed in bright colors, like little butterflies.

Whether it's a dress, a short-sleeved shirt, or a tank top with a thin shawl, without exception, most of the skin is exposed.

Even though he knew what kind of world he had come to, Chu Ze was still very unaccustomed to it, and it even greatly impacted his worldview.

Even though he deliberately kept a cold face and exuded a chilling aura, he still couldn't stop the women from paying attention to him, and there were even screams.

This puzzled him greatly. Were all the women in this world not very bright?

If it weren't for a clause in the contract stipulating that he had to work in the restaurant, he would have smashed the plates and quit long ago!

But while looking down prevents him from seeing what he doesn't want to see, it has a drawback...

"Clang!"

A crisp sound came from behind, and Wen Nuan looked in the direction of the sound, unable to help but roll her eyes.

Just then, Ludwig passed by her, his shoulders slumped, looking utterly dejected.

"Is this the eleventh? Or the twelfth?"

"That's the thirteenth."

Ludwig answered calmly, his voice carrying a hint of amusement.

"Ugh……"

Wen Nuan didn't know what to say. The only thing that made her feel fortunate was that the plates were free; otherwise, no matter how much she earned in a day, it wouldn't be enough to cover the damage this person caused.

Despite saying that, seeing Chu Ze squatting on the ground frantically tidying up, Wen Nuan sighed again and walked over anyway.

During the incident, a girl tried to help, but Chu Ze avoided her as if she were a snake or a scorpion, almost making her feel incredibly embarrassed.

"I'm sorry to have disturbed everyone's meal. I'll clean up."

She smiled warmly and apologized to the customer, then knelt down to help.

"I don't need your help, stay away from me!"

Chu Ze's attitude towards Wen Nuan was no better, and was even worse than towards others.

Wen Nuan squeezed her eyes shut for a moment, gripping the plate tightly in her hands, trying hard to restrain herself from smashing the plate on this person's head.

He lowered his voice and said through gritted teeth.

"Do you think I wanted this? Why don't you count for yourself how many plates you broke this morning?"

"What? Is there gold on the ground? Or would it kill you to look at it for even a second? Can't you just walk with your head held high?"

While scolding him, Wen Nuan also grumbled in her heart about that damned old man.

This is hardly like hiring a shop assistant for her!

This must have brought her a powerful ancestor!

"..."

Silently recalling how many plates he had broken, Chu Ze felt a little breathless, but quickly pretended to be indifferent.

"It's just a few broken plates. I'll just pay you back."

As an emperor, surely he can afford to pay compensation?

Wen Nuan smiled coldly, her lips curving upwards, and mercilessly exposed his lie, "Your Majesty, do you have any money on you?"

Don't think she doesn't know that after signing the contract with the system, they can't bring anything with them except for that outfit.

"..."

Oh no, I almost forgot about that.

He glanced at the girl in front of him, who was radiating coldness, and a sudden, mysterious feeling told him that it was best not to speak at this moment.

In an instant, the once arrogant emperor fell silent as a chicken, not daring to utter another word.

"hiss……"

Chu Ze jerked his hand back, staring dumbfounded at his bleeding finger, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He was an emperor who conquered territories on horseback and could take the enemy's head without a scratch in the midst of a vast army. Now he was injured because of such a trivial matter.

Wen Nuan frowned as she watched the man standing motionless like a fool, blood dripping from his hand. She grabbed his hand, tore off a tissue, and pressed it hard against his skin.

"Are you stupid? Didn't you see you were bleeding? How could someone like you become emperor?"

A suspicious look swept over her, and Wen Nuan wondered in her heart if the talent pool in that world was too dwindling.

That's why someone who's clearly not very bright would be put in that position.

"I……"

"Ludwig, please tidy up here. I'll take him to get his wound treated first."

Before he could speak, Wen Nuan interrupted him, turning to the other person and saying something.

Ludwig looked at their clasped hands, his eyes flickered, and asked with concern in his tone.

"Are you alright? Are you okay?"

She paused, then said softly, "How about I go? It's just a minor injury. Nuannuan, you should go and rest for a while. You've been working hard all day."

Chu Ze, who was about to withdraw his hand, immediately became wary upon hearing this and stared intently at him.

What is this man trying to do? Is he perhaps trying to harm me?

Chu Ze, who clearly saw the coldness in the man's eyes, felt that his life was in danger.

Just kidding! The system contract only restricts them from attacking the store manager, it doesn't say that employees can't fight each other!

His survival instincts honed over the years told him that the blond man in front of him was definitely not up to any good.

He stopped moving his hands and obediently let the girl hold them, pretending to be calm.

"That would be too much trouble for you. I think the store manager can handle it."

The first time the Emperor addressed her as "shopkeeper," Wen Nuan looked up at him strangely.

What's wrong with this person? Has he suddenly changed his personality?

The three of them stood in the center of the restaurant, unaware that they had become a spectacle in the eyes of others.

"Ahhh, what an absolutely stunning love triangle! Is this something you can watch for free?"

"Ahhh, the store manager's aura is absolutely amazing! She seems to be a perfect match for everyone! Why don't we just buy them all!"

"Sure enough, all the handsome men and beautiful women belong to the other person, only the food is mine, waaaah, I want another serving of braised beef ribs!"

The warmth, caught in the middle, looked around and wondered why it suddenly felt a bit cold. Could it be that the wallpaper had such a cooling effect?

Shaking her head, Wen Nuan didn't want to trouble Ludwig too much, so she said gently, "Never mind, I'll do it. You're more tired than me today, thank you for your hard work."

"No, it's just what I should do."

The two of them talked back and forth, which made someone curl their lip in disdain.

They're all gentle and kind to that person, but when it comes to me, it turns into a raging storm. Pshaw, why is that?

Wen Nuan turned her head and saw the person winking and making faces, so she frowned.

"What's wrong? Are your eyes twitching? Hurry up and get going! You're always causing me trouble!"

"What kind of attitude is that? I advise you to watch your words."

"Hmph! So what if it was an accident? Are you going to chop off my head? Come on!"

"you you……"

The two bickered as they walked, neither willing to give in.

Some girls at the next table covered their mouths and giggled, while others whispered "kswl" (a Chinese internet slang term for something silly or ridiculous).

Ludwig watched the two figures walk away hand in hand, his eyes darkening slightly...
