The gods descend into reality

"But in Boss Xiao's eyes, that's artistic conception, that's poetry. He might be brewing up a poem right now and he'll be composing one on the spot. Let me tell you, that's what you call a literary 'poet'!"

As he spoke, Chang Yong's gaze gradually turned into that of a little fangirl.

Isn't this the kind of life I want?

The most important thing is that the opponent is strong!

Whipping the horse and wielding a sword in the martial world has always been what people like me pursue.

However, after joining the Twin Gates and learning the true nature of these so-called martial arts, Chang Yong was disappointed.

All those stories about scaling walls and robbing the rich to help the poor are just empty illusions.

Only money is real.

Then it grows more and more crooked.

Chang Zhong and Chang Yong both turned to look at Xiao Chuhe, seemingly waiting to see what kind of poem he would come up with after a whole afternoon of contemplation.

Although they weren't full, the two, being master thieves, still had plenty of patience.

"Hey~"

With a soft sigh, Xiao Chuhe switched hands to support his chin.

Another day without income~

He was full of ambition at the time, thinking that as the place where all the heavens and worlds meet, he would definitely make a fortune by opening an inn here.

But what kind of customers have I been encountering?

Hao Yun is a big spender who eats and drinks for free.

Fujiwara Takumi is the second biggest freeloader.

There are also the three musketeers: Cú Chulainn, Yasuo, and Nameless.

These three people always order this and that every time they come here, they don't pay.

I'm so tired~

It's the beginning of the month again, and the two chefs in the kitchen are both waiting for their paychecks.

Indeed, it's probably better to close this run-down inn down.

Xiao Chuhe felt somewhat disheartened.

"Hey~"

Thinking of this, Xiao Chuhe sighed deeply again, feeling that even the tea being brought to his lips had lost its flavor.

That's not all; lately, they've even started treating this place like a garbage dump.

The two outsiders who were caught were sent to my place.

"Hey~"

Indeed, it's probably better to sell this run-down inn.

"boss."

"What's wrong? Let me make it clear first: because business is so bad, the salary will have to wait until next month."

Xiao Chuhe said this as a precaution.

I naturally have money.

But not paying salaries is a matter of sentiment. As the boss, I just won't pay salaries, so what?!

"No, I need to take a week off."

"Little boss, your boss is indeed in a bit of a predicament lately. You can't threaten me with taking leave if my salary is delayed, can you?"

Xiao Chuhe said earnestly.

"No, the boss recently encountered a problem with a farm that he was cooperating with Yangquan Restaurant, and I need to re-establish contact with the suppliers."

The young master, fearing that Xiao Chuhe might misunderstand, quickly explained.

"Does this really require taking a week off? You can just go to a different market and get it done in a day."

Xiao Chuhe said with a dark face.

Sure enough, this employee has a problem with me.

"Yangquan Restaurant has branches all over China, consuming tens of thousands of livestock every day. A week is the fastest it can go."

The young master said with a troubled expression.

Xiao Chuhe...

"Approved! Approved!"

What kind of world is this? Xiao Chuhe felt utterly exhausted. Even though he had made further progress in the Divine Travel Realm, suddenly nothing seemed appealing anymore.

"Boss, I need to ask for leave."

The clear, girlish voice made Xiao Chuhe look over, and it was indeed Erina Nakiri.

"What, is your family also going to buy tens of thousands of livestock?"

Xiao Chuhe asked with a forced smile.

“My family plans to expand into the catering industry in other worlds. I’m planning to use some money to acquire your unprofitable Snowfall Manor.”

Xiao Chuhe...

(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

Chapter 393 Xiao Se: So this is someone looking for trouble~ (3/3)

I have mixed feelings and don't know what to say.

This was probably the only thought in Xiao Chuhe's mind at that moment.

What kind of employees are these?!

Can't we have something normal?

I'm the boss!

You two employees, one of you has to go back and negotiate a deal involving tens of thousands of head of livestock, and the other of you has to go back and prepare to acquire my shop!

(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

The most important thing is that you actually said my shop doesn't make money?

Not making money?!

This shop of mine is definitely profitable.

This is clearly a losing proposition!

"Sorry, I don't sell these here."

Xiao Chuhe said firmly.

Although this place has been losing money, and I keep saying it's losing money, it's just me complaining.

We shouldn't sell it even if it costs us money!

Running a guesthouse is a passion, complaining about losing money is a habit, and you want to buy my guesthouse with money?

Tacky~

"Boss, you're losing money here anyway."

Erina Nakiri was speechless and tried to offer some advice.

"No, no, no, you don't understand."

Xiao Chuhe stretched out a finger and kept waving it.

Erina Nakiri?

"My Snowfall Villa faces green waters and is backed by green mountains. Listening to the rain and watching the snow is very elegant. Look!"

As he spoke, Xiao Chuhe waved his sleeve at Erina Nakiri.

"This fur coat—"

Erina Nakiri looked at Xiao Chuhe's fur coat with a hint of envy on her face.

Although my main job is as a chef, I am still a girl, so I have some knowledge about clothing fabrics.

To be honest, I've been craving the fabric of the clothes my boss is wearing for a long time!

"A dappled horse, a thousand pieces of gold—this fabric was made by the Yuxiu Workshop in Tianqi City over three months. This sleeve alone is worth at least a hundred pieces of gold!"

Xiao Chuhe said in a serious tone.

Before Erina Nakiri could reply, Xiao Chuhe continued.

Do you think I'd be short of money to run an inn?

The voice was calm and gentle.

"I understand, boss. I misunderstood you all along. I actually wanted to pay double the price to acquire your Snowfall Manor!"

A look of shame flashed across Erina Nakiri's face.

Xiao Chuhe......

Double...double?

“I never imagined that Mr. Xiao opened this shop not to make money but for his passion. I’m sorry I shouldn’t have had such unrealistic ideas. As a chef, although I feel that your inn is a failure, I cannot humiliate a dreamer!” Erina Nakiri bowed deeply to Xiao Chuhe and said solemnly.

Xiao Chuhe...

You should have told me it would be double the price earlier!

Sentimentality and such can be completely discarded when faced with double the price.

I could easily find a better location and reopen Snowfall Manor; I could even make some money then!

"Ahem, actually—"

"Boss Xiao, bring out the best wine and food!"
