Have No Desire to Inherit the Family Business
Chapter 14
In the past, Edith was a person who would make decisions on the spur of the moment.
Although she was still the type of person who would act on her words.
When she saw a dazzling array of jewelry, she would excitedly study the jewelry industry; when she saw a variety of cosmetics, she would enter the cosmetics industry with a wave of her hand; when she saw too many clothes, she would roll up her sleeves and prepare to personally design clothes.
Fortunately, Edith's talent in this area was not bad. Otherwise, no matter how deep the family's foundation was, it would be ruined by these reckless decisions.
Of course, it was also possible that Edith was overconfident. She did not think that she would lose everything.
And this restaurant was the product of one of Edith's impulsive thoughts.
Edith did not know what kind of mood she was in when she stepped into the restaurant.
# What kind of experience would it be for a friend to go to her restaurant and treat her to a meal? #
That being said, during this special period of independence, she couldn't freeload here. She still had to pay for what she should pay.
Not only did she not have a discount, but she even had to give a tip according to the rules here. It could be said that she was very professional and distinguished between public and private affairs.
"Welcome to 'Idle Business Restaurant'."
A well-trained waitress came up to him and said in a sweet voice, "Please show me your membership card."
Under Edith's strange gaze, Chivalry took out his membership card. The waitress used a machine to check it and completed the verification.
"Mr. Chivalry, you have reserved a private room for two. Please follow me."
The waitress was considered a relatively low-level employee here. Basically, no one had seen the boss, so she did not know that the boss was beside her.
Not only that, this restaurant was very mysterious. Outsiders did not know whose property this restaurant was under. The internal staff only knew that this was the property of Dolores's family. Only a few high-level executives knew who the real boss was.
Following the waitress to the second floor, although there were not many customers in the restaurant, it was not deserted. The whole restaurant was immersed in a comfortable environment.
Today happened to be the day that Antoine, the general manager of "Idle Business Restaurant", was in the restaurant. He chatted with the regulars for a while. The general manager, who was in a suit and leather shoes, walked towards the stairs with a perfect smile on his face. The conversation of the customers came from the first floor.
His long-term work experience accumulated into a mysterious intuition. Antoux's eyelids suddenly twitched. He had a bad feeling in his heart.
"This is my first time in this restaurant." The first thing that entered his ears was a hearty male voice. "It is indeed a very special restaurant."
Antoux deeply agreed... After all, the overall layout was based on the aesthetic of the outstanding Madam Edith..... This customer really had a good eye.....
What followed was a deep valley that he couldn't be more familiar with. "What do you think is special about it?"
...............
........
The excellent Elite packaging almost collapsed at this moment. He immediately adjusted himself and quickly repaired the cracks on the Elite mask.
.....
Excuse
me?
It was rare for him to come to the restaurant in person. How did he happen to run into a leader inspecting the restaurant?
No, no, no. Calm down. Isn't Madam Edith in a special period of fighting for her dreams?
How can she have time to manage the restaurant that she once opened on a whim?
That's right. When he was serious, he was still the general manager that Madam Edith trusted.
"The personal characteristics are very distinct. Visually, it gives a strong impact. But this is not the result of extravagance and wantonly squandering. It is an artistic effect.
However, every detail has been made into low-key luxury. "
The hearty male voice analyzed in an orderly manner. "It can be seen that the person who designed all this is most likely a willful and rich person. Compared to the tasteless nouveau riche, he is more thoughtful and has a personality."
The 'willful and rich' and 'thoughtful and has a personality' Edith herself: "Is, is that so?"
Edith was too tired to complain. When she stepped on the last step, she looked up and saw the general manager, Antoux, with a deadpan face staring at her expressionlessly.
Edith: "…!"
Antoux calmly glanced at Chivalry, who was talking cheerfully next to him, and then at Edith, who was silent. In an instant, he imagined a 10,000-word plot.
His brain worked quickly and came up with the best choice.
Even though his heart was turbulent, Antoux nodded to the two of them very calmly on the surface, showing the manners that a senior manager should have. "Welcome to the 'Idle Business Restaurant.' I am the general manager here, Antoux."
Edith's mouth twitched. This guy was quite good. He pretended as if he didn't know her at all.
"You are so lucky. The general manager is here, which means that the kitchen manager is also here."
The waitress did not know the mystery hidden under the calmness and dutifully explained to the guests, "Every time the kitchen manager comes, he will introduce a hidden menu."
Chivalry, who was also unaware, closed his eyes and bragged, "Wow, this is Edith's credit, right?
She is so lucky. "
Edith laughed. She might not be lucky, but if she traced back to the source, the credit might really be hers.
On the other hand, when the waitress heard the name "Edith," she was stunned. If she remembered correctly, the little miss of Dolores' family was called Edith … She secretly glanced at Antoux, trying to find some clues from that poker face that never changed.
Unfortunately, as the third-in-command of the restaurant, Antoux, who had been through all kinds of storms, would never show any flaws.
The beloved Miss Edith and the man of unknown origin disappeared from his sight. Antoux pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose.
He did not forget Young Master Yuloka's instructions at all times. Without saying anything, he took out his phone and reported the situation.
Edith was brought into the private room without any danger. She breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was the reliable Antoux, not some stupid teammate.
No, why did she have to feel guilty?
She did not need to hide her identity. If she was exposed, it would only be Chivalry who would be embarrassed!
Thinking of this, Edith relaxed and felt a lot better. She felt that her worries just now were too strange.
Chivalry pushed the menu in front of Edith. She was the one who set the price, but she trembled when she saw it. Any dish was worth a month of live streaming income. She was thinking about whether she should use a tactful method to let Chivalry see the price.
Seeing Edith's worries, Chivalry gave her a reassuring smile. "It's okay. Just order whatever you want. Don't think so much."
With Chivalry's encouragement, Edith was relieved. At worst, she could make Chivalry wash the dishes here. Anyway, the money would go into her pocket in the end.
After ordering, Edith handed the menu to Chivalry. He glanced at it indifferently, not caring at all about the sky-high price on the menu.
"Speaking of which, you actually have a membership card here." Edith pretended to be curious and casually mentioned it.
One had to know that the membership card was given by the management, but in fact, only Edith was qualified. Even her parents did not have this right.
No, there was an exception, and that was Yuloka.
The membership card had strict certification and procedures. Edith was very sure that she had not given the membership card to Chivalry. Then, the answer was obvious.
"A good friend gave it to me."
Chivalry shrugged. "He is very mysterious and his whereabouts are unknown. Maybe he is the behind-the-scenes boss of this restaurant?"
No, the behind-the-scenes boss is sitting in front of you. He might be the behind-the-scenes boss' brother.
Edith took a sip of the drink that had just been served. She silently retorted in her heart. She felt that it was necessary to ask Yuloka later.
"After the offline competition is over, do you have any other plans?" Chivalry supported his chin with one hand. "Continue to live stream games?"
"If there are no accidents, that should be it, although that is not my original intention."
"Eh?
Then what do you want to do?
Is it still related to games? "Chivalry asked with interest.
He was surprised by this answer because Edith's enthusiasm was definitely not faked.
"Of course it is related to games. Live streaming games is too superficial and superficial."
Edith followed Chivalry's example. She supported her chin with one hand and said lazily, "Something like game development. The goal is to establish a game company that is popular all over the world in my lifetime."
In the past, she had never been opposed by her family when she was involved in the industry. However, it was different this time.
It was not that her parents thought that games were not a proper occupation, but that most people categorized games in this category.
A game developed by Dolores would definitely be sold for a large sum of money. Compared to the jewelry industry, the audience was too small.
One had to know that a game that could attract a group of rich people who boasted of their wealth was not something that could be made casually.
Edith scoffed at the idea of questioning her ability. She was definitely going to solve this boring test and make a great achievement that would convince everyone. It would be best if she could start a "Game Hunter" because of this.
"Very ambitious, but you can't solve the money problem with just live streaming games, right?"
Edith's answer was ambiguous. "This is only a temporary test."
As long as she could maintain until August this year to fulfill the one-year promise, all the problems would be solved.
"Hahaha, then you can do it."
Chivalry was too lazy to comment or lecture on such an unrealistic idea. He could tell that Edith was the kind of person who would not give up easily.
"Come to my company when the time comes."
Chivalry took it as a joke. "Okay, okay."
Edith did not care whether he was joking or not. She directly agreed. When the time came, she would kidnap this person and bring him to Dolores.
"But … Chivalry, are you an adult?"
Looking at Chivalry's young face, Edith was a bit hesitant. After all, Dolores was a big family. No matter what, they could not be a black-hearted company that hired underage people.
"Eh?
I'm 24 years old! "
24 years old!?
Edith was stunned. "I thought you were about the same age as me."
"No way?
I know I look young, but I'm not 15 or 16 years old, right? "
"…" Edith was speechless for a few seconds before she slowly squeezed out a complete sentence. "I'm 18 years old."
This time, it was Chivalry's turn to be shocked. "!?"
Edith's young face didn't look like she was 18 years old at all. Coupled with her slightly willful personality, even her goal looked naïve and innocent.
Chivalry thought of the competitor that he killed for her. When she heard the news, her reaction could be considered cold. He thought it was a common phenomenon for children who grew up in a normal society to be in middle school.
"What?
You think I'm a child who is addicted to the Internet and plays truant? "
"You do."
Chivalry nodded sincerely. He mimicked Edith's tone and joked. "I thought you ran away from home to play games."
