"Miss Xu... Miss Xu." The woman almost couldn't help but bow when she saw Xu Xin.
"Manager Li, thank you for your help." Xu Xin replied politely, then turned to "Liu Ting" and introduced, "This is Sister Li, the lobby manager of the reception hall."
She then introduced Liu Ting to Manager Li.
A seemingly minor issue of order directly revealed Xu Xin's true intentions. Clearly, in her eyes, "Liu Ting" held a higher status than Sister Li, so she introduced Sister Li to "Liu Ting" first.
The young lady personally led the team to complete the onboarding process, so the process was surprisingly smooth.
Manager Li personally assigned the two of them the positions of bar manager—Xu Xin was in charge of the bar, and "Liu Ting" was in charge of the tea bar.
The two bar counters were right next to each other, and the two people were on the same shift.
"Here is the shift schedule, take a look." Manager Li handed a document to the two of them. "Your shifts are completely synchronized, Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
"That's great!" Xu Xin happily hugged "Liu Ting's" arm. "Now we can go to and from get off work together!"
Liu Ting smiled on the outside, but in her heart she was complaining: This arrangement is too deliberate, and the working hours are obviously much more relaxed.
This seemingly perfect arrangement was clearly intentional; Manager Li Tang must have known Xu Xin's identity and arranged it this way on purpose.
Xu Xin is the eldest daughter of the Xu family, which is the main force of the HR Alliance in Jiangnan City. This HR Alliance Mall can almost be said to be the territory of the Xu family.
Xu Xin's identity was not deliberately concealed by the Xu family, so it was normal for many managers in the mall to know her.
If a rich girl brings her friends to her family's business to experience life, and you actually dare to treat her like a beast of burden, it's not just that she doesn't want to work, it's that she doesn't want to live.
After more than an hour of training—which Liu Ting felt was hardly training at all, just a formality—Manager Li explained the basic work process, then had them try mixing a few drinks, and that was it.
"Alright, you can officially start your jobs now." Manager Li smiled and closed the training manual. "I've already sent your respective employee lists to your terminals. Each of you will be in charge of twelve people, so please supervise their work carefully."
"If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me."
The two young ladies can supervise, but the specific work can be handled by the subordinates. Don't overwork yourself!
And so, the two young ladies officially took up their posts as bar managers, full of vigor and confidence.
Although Xu Xin is from a wealthy family, she doesn't have the typical spoiled attitude. Once she became a manager, she diligently began to familiarize herself with the business and even tried to personally serve customers.
Her employees, who had already been instructed by Manager Li, hesitated to speak when they saw the young lady personally taking charge, but dared not raise any objections.
When she had free time, she would stand behind the bar, referring to the training manual, practicing etiquette and bartending over and over again. Although she was clumsy, her eyes were focused and serious.
This is a genuine experience of life, not just going through the motions.
When guests arrive, she flashes a sweet smile, asks in a gentle tone what they need, and then meticulously completes each step.
Finally, the wine is respectfully presented to the guest, and the guest is thoughtfully asked, "How does it taste?"
The taste wasn't actually that great, but the dozen or so customers in front of them were all hired shills by Xu Shanlai, so of course they praised it highly.
Whether it's a weak novice warrior, an intermediate warrior, or a powerful intermediate or advanced general, she treats them all with the same warm smile.
We should not be indifferent to customers who are weak, nor should we fawn over them who are powerful.
"Liu Ting" treated everyone the same, but unlike Xu Xin, she was equally rude and disrespectful.
No matter if you're a soldier, a general, or even a war god, she won't give you a friendly look if you come to her to order. It's not like she's providing service; it's more like the customer is serving her.
"Hello, please give me a cup of Da Hong Pao tea." A burly man dressed in martial arts combat attire walked up to the tea bar, glanced at the price list on the sign and the beautiful Manager Liu, and spoke somewhat shyly.
Liu Ting looked him up and down, a disdainful smile playing on her lips. "You have so many hidden injuries. Instead of using your money to recuperate, you dare to come here and order expensive Da Hong Pao tea for a luxurious experience. Do you think you're too long to live?"
The burly man was taken aback: "Huh?"
"What do you mean, 'ah'? I could tell at a glance that you have at least three old injuries on your left scapula that haven't healed properly. When you practice, your power is not continuous, causing you to lose about 20% of your strength each time you exert force, isn't that right?"
The burly man was completely stunned.
He had never told anyone about these things. How did he manage to tell that this seemingly young and beautiful woman was so obvious at a glance?
"Then... what should I drink?"
"Chrysanthemum and goji berry tea can reduce internal heat, improve eyesight, and nourish muscles and bones. Most importantly, it's inexpensive."
Liu Ting casually took a tea bag from the shelf, threw it into a cup, poured in hot water, and slammed it onto the table with a "bang," splashing tea everywhere.
"Here, drink it well. Use the money you save to buy a course of treatment to take good care of your body, so that you don't die in the mouth of a monster because of this little problem one day."
The burly man took the cup, his hand burning from the scalding hot cup, but the shock in his heart completely overshadowed the pain.
He held his teacup, staring blankly at "Liu Ting," and after a long while, he managed to stammer out, "Thank... thank you for your guidance!"
He took his teacup to the seat next to him and carefully took a sip.
The refreshing aroma of chrysanthemum and goji berry tea filled his mouth and seeped into his throat, as if a cool breeze was soothing his old wounds.
He couldn't help but turn around and glance at the girl behind the tea bar who was sitting with her legs crossed, playing on her phone. His eyes were filled with emotion.
She cares about me!
News of what happened here spread very quickly.
There were quite a few martial artists browsing the mall, and seeing someone walk away gratefully after being scolded, people around naturally became curious and went up to inquire.
The burly man didn't hide anything and told the whole story about how he had been scolded but also had his potential problems exposed.
After hearing this, the crowd was skeptical, but based on the principle of "it's worth a try," more and more people began to flock to the tea bar.
"Give me a cup of...jasmine tea!"
"Green tea, thank you!"
"Tieguanyin!"
"I don't drink tea, I just want to be scolded, is that okay?"
"Liu Ting" sat behind the bar, looking at the long queue in front of her with dead fish eyes.
So, for the next two hours, she began her "sharp-tongued business".
"Look at your hands! Your thumb and forefinger are constantly clenched. Are you practicing swordsmanship or sawing wood? All you've ever learned is brute force? Useless!"
"Look at your posture, your center of gravity is practically floating in the air! Do you think you're a psychic who can fly? You idiot!"
"Although you practice powerful marksmanship, your legs are stiff and rigid. Are you even practicing with a sniper rifle? You idiot!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, carrying such a long knife on your back, how can you even draw it in an emergency? With your short arms and legs, just switch to a normal weapon! No money? What are you doing here for tea if you have no money? Get lost!"
"Liu Ting" is at such a high level that when she mocks others, she subconsciously focuses on the shortcomings in their cultivation, often pinpointing their problems incisively.
At first, everyone was annoyed by the criticism, but after thinking about it, they realized that what the other person said was entirely true.
Those bottlenecks that had plagued them for years, those moves they could never master, and those bad habits they could never get rid of, were as easy as a thin sheet of paper to break through in this little girl's mouth.
Ignoring her rude attitude, this is a kind of targeted guidance that many martial artists cannot buy even at a high price.
The martial artists, who lived a life of constant danger and were used to being rough, did not find Liu Ting's sarcasm particularly offensive. Instead, they gained valuable insights from it and flocked to mock Liu Ting, this beautiful woman.
The tea bar's business boomed immediately, with more and more martial artists coming here specifically to be scolded by "Liu Ting".
After the people in front left satisfied, they spread the word, which attracted even more people. In just one morning, the HR Alliance Mall's reception hall was packed with people, and the queue at the tea bar stretched all the way outside the door, which shows just how popular it was.
For these martial artists, if you were to tell them that there's a stunningly beautiful woman posing seductively somewhere, most of them would simply scoff and ignore you.
But if you were to say where there are people who offer free cultivation guidance with excellent results, they would wear out the doorsteps!
Now, a beautiful woman has appeared in the HR Alliance Mall, offering free and highly effective cultivation guidance. Even though she's a bit sharp-tongued, it can't dampen the enthusiasm of the martial artists!
Such a commotion alarmed the mall's management, who had to send people to maintain order and limit the tea bar to only 200 guests per day, lest Miss Liu be overworked and incur the wrath of the Xu family, who would then be left without a proper burial.
Such regulations provoked dissatisfaction from a large group of martial artists who had come specifically for this purpose, but there was nothing they could do. The arm could not twist the thigh; the HR Alliance did not negotiate its rules. If you did not comply, you would be kicked out. That's how domineering they were.
After a busy day, Master Liu finally got off work, but he was still not satisfied and clearly hadn't had enough fun.
After getting off work, Xu Xin brought over two boxed lunches and shared them with "Liu Ting".
"You're so busy today," Xu Xin said, opening the box and giving her a slightly resentful look.
“I was planning to come over and chat with you during my break, but there was always a long line at your place, so I didn’t want to bother you.”
"There's nothing we can do, these martial artists are just so enthusiastic," Liu Ting said, stuffing a piece of braised pork into her mouth.
Xu Xin's eyes dimmed: "I don't get many customers... I only had about ten customers all day, and they all bought the cheapest beer."
"But they were very nice to talk to, and they all praised the drinks I mixed."
Although the tea bar and the bar are next to each other, they are not actually very close. Xu Xin could not see how "Liu Ting" worked today, nor could she hear her cursing.
She could only see that "Liu Ting's" business was booming, while her side was deserted, which made her feel slightly unbalanced.
"Liu Ting" is not only beautiful, strong, and academically excellent, but now she's even better at summer jobs than Xu Xin. Although Xu Xin isn't jealous, she can't help but feel a little disappointed.
Liu Ting didn't understand the thoughts of these young girls. She assumed that Xu Xin was genuinely upset because she hadn't spoken to her today. So, she confidently declared that she wouldn't greet those customers tomorrow and would instead go to the bar to assist Xu Xin and keep her company.
The next day, a large group of martial artists lined up early in front of the tea bar, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the "Tea Bar Queen".
However, they waited and waited, but never saw that familiar figure.
Upon searching, it was discovered that the person had gone to a bar to be with their friends, abandoning the tea house altogether.
Everyone was immediately heartbroken and indignant. "Aren't you an employee? How can you be so willful?!"
The next second, everyone rushed to the bar without prior arrangement.
They found "Liu Ting" lying on the bar watching Xu Xin perform her newly learned bartending skills, and shouted astonishing things like "Your Majesty, scold me!"
Xu Xin was startled, and her already rudimentary bartending skills immediately went out of control. The wine cup flew out and hit "Liu Ting" on the head, splashing the wine all over her.
The cold liquor dripped down her hair and onto her shirt, quickly spreading into a dark stain.
Xu Xin was stunned: "Tingting... I didn't mean to..."
Chapter 219 The Great Queen, We Must Snatch Her Away!
Liu Ting slowly sat up, glanced at her soaked clothes, and then at the group of martial artists at the door who had witnessed the scene and were trying not to laugh.
She was furious!
"A bunch of ants, unable to offer a sacrifice for my departed clothes, die!"
She grabbed bottles of liquor from the shelf behind her—whether it was whiskey, brandy, or vodka—and smashed them into the crowd!
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Bottles flew through the air, shattered glass and spilled liquor everywhere, turning the bar area into chaos in an instant!
