C10 (1/2)

Cardinal walked over to the waiter and helped him up. He helped him into the shop and pulled out a chair for him to sit on.

It was already dusk and there were basically no customers in the restaurant. Other than a few guests, there was no one else in sight.

Only then did Cardinal open his mouth to ask, ”What's the matter? Can you tell me now?”

The waiter hesitated for a long time, as if he was hesitating whether to say something.

He sighed and waved his hand. Forget it.

”Actually, it's nothing. But, isn't it true that I often gather guests at the entrance to the Formica Inn? And then the boss of the Gladys Inn thought I couldn't do that and ruined their business, and then they used to hire a bunch of hoodlums to make trouble for me and make me rein myself in a little bit. ”

”How can there be such a rule?” Cardinal Cheng asked.

”Yes, it is indeed like that. However, our Fortune Inn's business is already rather poor. If we don't have some business, we might not be able to continue.” Although there was no such rule, there was a certain truth to it. ”Maybe I really have to be polite?” the waiter sighed.

”Sigh ~ It's not that I don't know the rules, I just want to earn more money. If it was for myself, I wouldn't reveal myself every day for the sake of more money.” As he spoke, the waiter was on the verge of tears.

”The reason why I want to earn money is not because of anything else, but because the Xinghua Village Sister Xinghua is about to get married. Originally, we were in love and I was going to ask her for a marriage, but who knew that luck would make a fool of us. ”I gave her three hundred taels of silver as a betrothal gift. My parents agreed, but because of me, they begged her parents to let me take at least thirty taels of silver …” The waiter choked with emotions as he spoke.

”Originally, thirty taels is not a large amount. After a year of hard work, I have almost collected twenty taels.” They were about to be able to propose. Who knew that, suddenly, the business of the Blessed Gate Inn became worse every day. When the appointed time arrived, they still could not bring out the thirty silver as a betrothal gift. ”Sigh …” As he spoke, he noticed that Chen Changsheng's eyes were already filled with tears, but he resisted the urge to spill them.

Cardinal Zhen took out ten taels of silver and gave it to him. ”Take these ten taels.” The waiter's eyes filled with tears, ”You absolutely cannot, esteemed guest. You absolutely cannot. How can I casually accept you 10 taels of silver?”

”Take it. In order to let two people who love each other marry each other, what's ten taels of silver worth?”

The waiter began to shed tears, ”Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir …”

Cardinal was about to leave when the waiter ran over, ”I don't know your name, but if there's a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you.” I am willing to be your slave. ”

”It's nothing. It's just a small matter, so there's no need to worry about it.”

However, the waiter insisted on asking clearly.

So he gave him the name.

In fact, even the Cardinal himself didn't know whether he should say Yi Zhenzheng or Ye Chonglou.

In any case, his master had called him Cardinal for twenty years.

Why not omit a family name and call yourself Cardinal?

Just as Cardinal was about to return to his room to rest, he suddenly thought of that scoundrel called Yao Wei and asked the waiter, ”The scoundrel that spoke to you today, the two of you know each other?”

The waiter was a little surprised, but he still subconsciously replied, ”I do.”

Cardinal wanted to continue speaking, but after some thought, since no one was willing to speak, why should he ask? Thus, he returned to his room.

After the delinquents had slipped away, they came to the Elegy Inn on the west side of the city. They went upstairs and entered a cubicle.

”Boss, the matter has been settled. It's about time for us to settle the bill.” The delinquent leader said.

A potbellied man laughed and said, ”How is it, does the boy know the rules?”

The delinquent leader laughed and said, ”Haha, that's for sure. Beat him until he cries for his mother and father, then hug his head and beg for mercy. He will definitely not dare to do this anymore in the future.”
