Even after the two of them had searched their entire bodies, they were still unable to gather enough money for their meals.
"Can't I swipe my card?" Wen Tiantian asked again.
Other than the hundred dollars, there were only a few cards left in her wallet.
In the past, she would have put quite a bit of cash in her purse, but then she found out that it was very rare to use it, so she rarely brought it with her.
Ji Jingchen spent less than a few times a year on cash and never brought it with him.
Wen Tiantian had completely forgotten about it before she came to eat.
"We only accept cash here."
The waiter looked Wen Tiantian and Ji Jingchen up and down. When he saw the two of them eating together, he revealed a look of envy.
"You guys came to eat. Don't you know to bring money? You guys didn't come here on purpose to eat an overlord's meal, right? "
They seemed well-dressed, but he didn't expect them to not even have two hundred yuan.
Wen Tiantian was slightly embarrassed. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation.
Ji Jingchen, who was at the side, couldn't keep his expression any longer and turned gloomy.
"Are there any banks or ATMs nearby?"
The waiter shook his head.
"The nearest one will take more than half an hour to walk. We won't be able to wait for you. What if you run off halfway?"
She seemed to be worried that Wen Tiantian and Ji Jingchen would run away, so she called the boss over.
The boss counted the one hundred and sixty yuan worth of money and sized up the two people in front of him.
"Still missing forty dollars?" What do you think we should do? "
Wen Tiantian rummaged through her bag and took out everything inside.
"Boss, how about this? I'll use this bag to mortgage here and wait for us to get the money before changing."
She was about to hand over the bag, but was stopped by Ji Jingchen.
Ji Jingchen frowned, then he took off his watch and handed it over.
"This should be enough."
When Wen Tiantian saw this, her eyes widened.
That was the Count's mechanical watch, which was priced close to one hundred and twenty thousand yuan. It was worth forty yuan. If anyone else knew about it …
The owner took the watch and looked at it carefully in the light, frowning.
"How much can a watch be worth? Don't try to lie to me! "
He put the watch back into Ji Jingchen's hand with dissatisfaction and said, "I don't care, just return the remaining 40 yuan."
As he spoke, he turned around and took the apron from the table and handed it to Wen Tiantian.
"You two go work for me." He pointed at Ji Jingchen and said, "You look pretty good. Go to the door and recruit some guests."
Ji Jingchen opened his eyes in disbelief.
"You want me to go …"
He looked at the crowded entrance and had never thought that he would one day come to the entrance to recruit guests.
"Right, haven't you seen so many people? Go and sort them out properly, get them to line up and recruit some more. "
The boss didn't care about who the person in front of him was. Right now, the restaurant was busy, and the two of them just happened to be able to help out.
With that, he turned to Wen Tiantian and said, "Bring the customers into the restaurant and order for them."
Wen Tiantian's feelings were complicated.
The boss, who didn't want the purse or the seven-figure watch, let them work.
Seeing the two of them frozen in place, the boss urged them: "Hurry and get moving! Don't be lazy! As long as you work until the end of the day, you can write off the money you owe. "
Wen Tiantian looked at the apron in her hands. She had no other choice but to obey his instructions and walk towards the door.
Ji Jingchen's expression was dark, as if he could drip water at any time.
As she walked, Wen Tiantian could even hear his clenched fists and the cracking sounds of his knuckles.
Gritting his teeth, his gaze was sinister and ruthless.
Wen Tiantian quickly pulled him back.
"Ji Jingchen, how about we call the butler over?"
Hearing this suggestion, Ji Jingchen's face twisted again.
Call the butler over?
They could go back, but the next day it would reach everyone.
Those people in the ancient castle were getting bolder and bolder with Wen Tiantian's help.
He was quite sure that when the time came, he would be mocked by the rest of them.
Although the steward was old, he had a good memory. He would casually mention it every now and then for the next few years.
"No need." Ji Jingchen said with difficulty.
He clenched his apron and gritted his teeth: "It has never been experienced before but today is your birthday. I had booked a restaurant and a dance before, but now it is all in vain."
"Nope."
Wen Tiantian looked around and smiled, "Compared to the serious ball and the one-eyed western restaurant, I prefer this place to mine. And as long as you're by my side, I'll be happy. "
She looked up at Ji Jingchen and smiled.
Ji Jingchen's heart skipped a beat and he reached out his hand to stop her.
"Me too."
Just as the two of them were embracing each other, a voice filled with dissatisfaction suddenly came from beside them.
"What are you all dawdling for?"
Wen Tiantian was shocked and hurriedly let go of Ji Jingchen. She turned around and saw the boss standing in front of the two of them.
Her cheeks felt slightly hot as two red clouds flew out.
However, the boss didn't react at all, as if he didn't see the two's actions.
"Don't even think of finding an opportunity to be lazy! "Go to work!"
He had a fiendish look.
Wen Tiantian and Ji Jingchen immediately walked towards the door.
Ji Jingchen frowned.
"This kind of management will only make the staff dissatisfied and dampen the enthusiasm for work."
Wen Tiantian thought for a moment as she listened to his evaluation. "Isn't that exactly how you are …"
Ji Jingchen stopped walking and turned around.
"Is that so?"
"Yes."
Wen Tiantian nodded affirmatively.
Seeing him fall into deep thought, Wen Tiantian smiled faintly.
Perhaps this would also have the advantage of making Ji Jingchen realize his management inadequacies and make him correct them later.
Just as he was thinking, Ji Jingchen raised his head and said, "They probably did something wrong. If they don't say it, they won't realize their mistake."
Wen Tiantian almost fell to the ground when she heard those words.
It was all the fault of others, Ji Jingchen wasn't wrong at all.
She had just steadied herself when she raised her head and saw Ji Jingchen's concerned gaze.
He quickly agreed, "Yes, I think what you said makes a lot of sense."
Ji Jingchen nodded and walked towards the door.
There were quite a few people gathered at the entrance, which did not decrease in the slightest compared to before.
Everyone was huddled together. In fact, no one was queuing up at all.
Ji Jingchen frowned as he saw the chaotic scene in front of him.
The few people in front pushed their way in regardless of the crowd in front of them. The people in front of them started swearing, and the scene became chaotic.
Ji Jingchen frowned more and more. With a sullen face, he walked over and pulled out the few people who were desperately squeezing forward by the collar.
