Douluo Continent: What should I do if I don't have a cheat system?

Chapter 104 Casual Chat in the Private Room

"Dear customers, I am very sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I am the general manager of the restaurant, and I have applied to the Spirit Hall for an expansion. This is Lord Jerry. Although our restaurant is registered under the Spirit Hall, it is actually owned by Lord Jerry."

"So, Mr. Jerry's visit to the store this time is not only for a meal, but also to inspect the store. Our application to expand the store still needs Mr. Jerry's final approval. I believe that with Mr. Jerry's arrival, we will soon be able to solve the problem of long waiting times," the general manager said.

This general manager is really cunning; he's subtly reminding me! I saw the store expansion application last time, but I had to go to Xingdou Great Forest, so I missed it. Now that I'm back, he's starting to remind me.

When the general manager said this, many of the people queuing below looked at Jerry.

Jerry knew that if he didn't give a result now, it would likely cause public resentment.

"Yes, I'm here to check out the actual situation. Soon, the store will be implementing categorized management. There will be a special lane for takeout orders, where you can pre-order and pick them up at the designated time, or have them delivered to your location by dedicated staff. Those dining in will use a different lane, which will reduce the flow of people!" Jerry said.

"You're very interesting. Would you like to come in with us? We have specially prepared dishes," Jerry said to Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong originally wanted to see what kind of person Jerry was. She hadn't seen him when she went to the Spirit Hall before, but she didn't expect to see him in this situation.

"Okay! My name is Ning Rongrong. It's nice to meet you, Jerry!" Ning Rongrong said.

Then, led by the general manager, the group arrived at the private room with the special number.

Upon arriving at the private room, the group had barely sat down on the sofa when the general manager spoke.

"Mr. Jerry, I'm sorry. My management skills are limited, and I was only thinking about expanding the store!" the general manager said hurriedly, afraid that if he spoke too slowly, Mr. Jerry would not forgive him. He had indeed just tried to be clever in front of Mr. Jerry.

"It's not your fault. You just need to manage the hotel well. I read your report before, but I was away for a while, which caused the delay. I just got back yesterday!"

"If you have time, you can go to the advanced academy to listen to management courses. Don't say you're too busy with business to have time. You should also find some time to learn new management and business methods. After all, Wuhun City is still developing, and many things will be eliminated. Old management methods can't keep up with the pace of development, and sooner or later they will not be managed well. So you can't stay the same. You have to change with development!" Jerry said.

"Yes, I will follow your teachings, Jerry, and I will definitely make time to study!" the general manager said.

"Wow, the Spirit Hall teaches this?" Ning Rongrong asked.

"Of course, it's not just this; we've studied every aspect of life," Jerry said.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Ning Rongrong thought to herself, "No wonder it's the Spirit Hall. They research everything, which is why the Spirit Hall is so powerful and why the two great empires are struggling to breathe."

"Ning Rongrong, daughter of Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the future successor of the sect. Her martial soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, her innate soul power is level nine, and her current cultivation level is Soul Venerable. Am I right?" Jerry said.

"How did you know? Did you investigate me?" Ning Rongrong said.

"Haha, I have even more details. I ran away from home at 11 and went to Shrek Soul Master Academy. The dean was Flander, a level 78 Soul Saint, and the vice dean was Zhao Wuji, a Soul Saint and a fugitive from the Spirit Hall! And you have a willful and mischievous personality and like to play pranks. Do I need to say anything more?" Jerry said with a laugh.

"No need, no need, you really investigated me?"

"An investigation wouldn't be necessary. The Spirit Hall has spies all over the continent. Otherwise, where do you think the Spirit News got its information?"

"You guys are really terrifying!"

"The Spirit Hall's duty is to maintain peace on the continent, which naturally requires strong investigative capabilities. Otherwise, if the two great empires were at war, we in the Spirit Hall wouldn't even know!"

"The two great empires aren't going to fight right now; they're both afraid of the Spirit Hall!"

"Then there's nothing we can do. Although the royal families of the Star Luo Empire are always fighting amongst themselves, and the royal families of the Heaven Dou Empire are always scheming against each other, let me tell you something: the former emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire lives in Wuhun City. He came here on his own!"

"What? The Snow Night Emperor is in Wuhun City?"

"Yes! He's living the high life now, spending his days shopping with his favorite concubine and daughter, always looking for delicious food! He also exchanged for a special potion at the Spirit Hall, and his health has been restored!"

"I never expected that the former emperor would not retire in the Star Dou Empire, but instead came to the Spirit Hall! Wouldn't that be considered treason?" Ning Rongrong asked.

"Haha, if he were still in the Star Dou Empire, do you believe he wouldn't live more than a few days?" Jerry said.

"How could that be? Who would dare touch him? He's the retired emperor!"

"With a new emperor ascending the throne, do you think he'll leave someone to keep him in check? Someone who can hide for so many years is capable of anything!" Jerry said.

Ning Rongrong hadn't thought that much about it before, but now she realizes how dark society really is. She'd been too well protected since she was little, and even if she went to Shrek Academy, Flander's half-baked education wouldn't be able to teach her anything.

"By the way, Jerry, actually I came to the Spirit Hall this time to look for you. They said you went out and were planning to go back, but there are so many fun things to do in Spirit City, and after a few months I still haven't seen it all," Ning Rongrong said.

"Looking for me? What's up?"

"I just want to see what it's like to be talked about all over the continent as a genius support Soul Master. You've single-handedly outshone our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

"I didn't notice that! Haha!"

"You four are all disciples of Chrysanthemum Douluo, right? Can you tell me your cultivation levels?" Ning Rongrong asked.

"What's the big deal? It's not a secret. This is Chrysanthemum Douluo's eldest disciple, Ye Lingling, sixteen years old, a level 76 support-type Soul Saint; my second disciple, Jerry, fifteen years old, a level 86 support-type Soul Douluo; this is my third disciple, Xiao Wu, fifteen years old, a level 77 power-attack-type Soul Saint; and finally, this is my fourth disciple, Zhu Zhuqing, you should know her, fourteen years old, a level 74 agility-attack-type Soul Saint!" Jerry said.

"What Soul Saint? Soul Douluo? How did you cultivate to be so powerful? And Zhu Qing, are you Zhu Qing?" Ning Rongrong was shocked at this moment. She finally saw Zhu Zhu Qing clearly. She didn't understand others, but she knew Zhu Qing very well. She used to be about the same as her, but now she was a Soul Saint.

It's no wonder she didn't recognize her. Zhu Zhuqing stopped wearing leather jackets after Jerry spanked her last time. Moreover, with Xiao Wu and Lingling by her side, Zhuqing was dressed up like a completely different person. Today, all three of them were wearing pink matching dresses and had their hair in pigtails.

Zhu Qing had seen Ning Rongrong, but seeing her current appearance and feeling shy about meeting someone she knew, she had been hiding in the back without making a sound. Now that Jerry had spoken up, she couldn't hide anymore.

"Rongrong, long time no see! It's me, Zhuqing. Don't you recognize me?" Zhuqing said, sounding a little embarrassed.

"Wow, Zhuqing, I can't believe you look like this! You're wearing a pink dress and pigtails!" Ning Rongrong said with a smile. Zhu Zhuqing is completely different from before.

"Rongrong, stop talking. I was forced to wear this while we were shopping today!" Zhuqing said shyly.

"What? We forced you? You were running and jumping around when you put it on. Was that even a little bit of coercion?" Xiao Wu said.

"Exactly! I was just wearing it and spinning around in the room!" Lingling said.

"Stop talking!" Zhu Qing said shyly, covering her face.

"Hahaha"
