Chapter 233: Falling Out!
With that, Steward Zhang brought up the rules of Hua Man Lou again. “Any woman who comes to our restaurant through a deed of sale cannot be redeemed immediately.”
“To be redeemed, she must stay in Hua Man Lou for at least three years.”
Seeing that Su Lingxi’s face was a little gloomy, Steward Zhang hurriedly mentioned the benefits of being in Hua Man Lou.
“But if she stays for three years, our Hua Man Lou also has benefits.”
“Every woman’s earnings are split fifty-fifty with our restaurant. Our restaurant will not encroach on this part of the remuneration.”
“What’s more, making money in Hua Man Lou, the restaurant will not treat the girls badly.”
“Finally, if she stays for three years and wants to redeem herself then, she only needs to pay half of the original fee.”
Steward Zhang spoke eloquently, aiming to make Su Lingxi change her mind.
“You’ve finished talking about the benefits. What about the disadvantages?”
Su Lingxi asked again.
“Disadvantages… uh… at most, there is less rest time. Of course, you will earn more this way.”
Steward Zhang still wanted to divert Su Lingxi’s attention.
“Hmph, don’t try to fool me.” Su Lingxi sneered.
“With the guests coming and going in this Hua Man Lou, you only care about money and not people. There are people from all walks of life. Can there be no other disadvantages?”
“Since you are unwilling to say it, I will say it for you.”
“You said she has to stay in Hua Man Lou for three years, but what will happen in these three years? It’s not certain whether she will still be alive and kicking to redeem herself after three years.”
“Then let me ask you, if she is unwilling to lose her virginity, can she still work in this restaurant?”
Cold sweat broke out on Steward Zhang’s forehead. He hesitated for a moment and said, “To be honest, occasionally there will be some difficult guests who may touch them, but our building will try to protect the girls. And…”
“Stop with the ‘buts’. A restaurant like yours only cares about making money for itself. How can you care about the life and death of the girls who sold themselves to you?”
“You said three years, but I think three years can torture a person beyond recognition. Three years is just a cycle. No wonder Hua Man Lou is looking for young and beautiful women everywhere.”
“And she has already sold herself. A fifty-fifty split? You say it so lightly.”
“I think your restaurant gives each girl at most one meal.”
“As for why those girls still look alive and kicking, I think you must have used some means to coax them.”
“After a long time, when they see the true face of the restaurant, it will be too late to leave.”
Su Lingxi’s verbal bombardment left Steward Zhang speechless.
Su Lingxi was right. The darkness behind such a glamorous place was inhumane.
Good words were all for outsiders to hear. Su Lingxi had just heard the young masters outside say that the girls in Hua Man Lou were never the same.
This further proved that many girls in Hua Man Lou didn’t even work for three years.
The poor girls could only rely on the secret tips from some kind-hearted guests to survive.
Steward Zhang couldn’t out-talk Su Lingxi, but he still insisted, “Distinguished guest, I don’t know where you heard these rumors, but my Hua Man Lou will not admit it.”
“It is impossible for you to redeem her today. Distinguished guest, you should enjoy yourself, so as not to spoil the atmosphere between us.”
Steward Zhang also had confidence in his heart. Hua Man Lou could operate until now not only relying on money, but also with big shots backing it up.
Su Lingxi continued, “Of course you won’t admit the ugly things about your restaurant.”
“I’ll ask you one last time. Can she be redeemed today?”
“My patience is limited. If she can be redeemed, take the money. If not… my patience is also limited.”
Steward Zhang’s face darkened, but he had been professionally trained. Under normal circumstances, he would not fall out with guests.
“Sorry, distinguished guest, this matter is difficult to handle.”
Su Lingxi couldn’t bear it anymore. This Steward Zhang kept avoiding the important points and refused to solve the problem for her.
What he said was all polite words, useless.
“Difficult to handle? Then don’t handle it!”
Su Lingxi suddenly stood up, flipped the table with one hand, and protected Yun Qianrou behind her with the other.
Steward Zhang hadn’t expected Su Lingxi to flare up directly. The wine and food on the table spilled directly on him.
No matter how good his quality was, he couldn’t bear it now.
“Someone, there’s someone causing trouble here!!!”
Steward Zhang shouted at the top of his lungs. Immediately, several burly men in uniforms rushed into the scene from outside.
These burly men were the security guards of Hua Man Lou, usually responsible for the order inside Hua Man Lou.
Every burly man was a Soul Formation realm expert.
“Sister Su…”
Yun Qianrou looked at the pile of burly men rushing in. The development of the matter had somewhat exceeded her expectations.
“Don’t worry!”
Su Lingxi directly protected her in front. Yun Qianrou was always moved by Su Lingxi’s words.
Every time Su Lingxi protected her, she felt particularly safe.
Several burly men surrounded Su Lingxi. Although these burly men couldn’t tell what Su Lingxi’s strength was.
But judging from her appearance alone, Su Lingxi was just a delicate and weak woman.
She just looked a little better physically than Yun Qianrou next to her.
“Distinguished guest, my attitude was good enough, but you refused a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit.”
“Get her! Break her legs and throw her out.”
“Let’s see who dares to cause trouble in this Hua Man Lou in the future!”
Before Steward Zhang finished speaking, only a sound of air bursting was heard.
“Ugh… mmm….”
His tongue instantly stuck out, and he was on the verge of suffocation.
Su Lingxi had flashed to Steward Zhang’s side at some point, one hand firmly clamping his neck.
She lifted Steward Zhang up by the throat.
Several burly men wanted to step forward but were scolded by Su Lingxi.
“If anyone dares to move, I can take his life immediately!”
The several burly men looked at each other and stopped their movements. For a time, no one dared to act rashly.
Although Su Lingxi was angry, she didn’t intend to take his life immediately.
“I’ll give you one last chance.”
“If your words don’t work, call out the real boss of your Hua Man Lou…”
“Otherwise, you won’t have to appear in Hua Man Lou in the future.”
After Su Lingxi finished speaking, she threw Steward Zhang to the ground. The moment Steward Zhang landed, his legs were still trembling.
Cough, cough.
He greedily breathed the surrounding air.
Steward Zhang’s eyes rolled. He had just been careless and hadn’t dodged.
“Alright… guest, don’t be excited. Please wait a moment!”
Steward Zhang struggled to get up, and then while Su Lingxi wasn’t paying attention, he hid directly behind several Soul Formation realm burly men.
“Damn it, kill her for me.”
“You two come over and protect me!”
With Steward Zhang’s order, two burly men directly surrounded Steward Zhang like wrapping a dumpling.
The remaining few burly men blocked in front of Su Lingxi like a city wall.
“Do it!!!”
Steward Zhang had gone crazy and started shouting hysterically.
