    She was tying the apron with both hands. It could be seen that the apron was new and there was no stain on it.

    “Why is it so slow? There is no efficiency at all. You must always remember that as the owner of the hotel, you must put the mood and needs of the guests first at all times! You must be on call. But… are you the boss?” Qi Haotian changed his original temperament and turned into a irritable and impatient manic man, scanning the woman up and down suspiciously.

    “Excuse me, I was just helping in the kitchen. I am the owner of this hotel.” The middle-aged woman was not angry, she was smiling, and her smiling face made people feel very close to her.

    “Help in the kitchen?” Qi Haotian found that the middle-aged woman’s hands were wet and had just been washed. However, maybe because she was in a hurry, there were still some dark red stains between her nails.

    “Yes, apart from the guests coming tonight, we only have one cook here. At this time, our hotel is always the busiest, so I will also help.” The short woman smiled. Her eyes were not big. If she didn’t turn her head, she wouldn’t even know who she was looking at.

    “Since you are the boss, if the hotel is busy, wouldn’t it be enough to hire more people? Is it necessary to help in the kitchen? It’s beneath your status!” Qi Haotian looked at the woman with disgust.

    “Recruiting?! I have enough people in this small hotel. Besides, even if I recruit people, I can’t find the ones I like. Alas…it’s all for living, no one can do it easily. When I’m busy, I have to help in the kitchen, be a waiter, and settle accounts. Sometimes I feel that the boss’ job is actually worse than a waiter.”

    While complaining to Qi Haotian, the short woman entered the counter and turned a blind eye to the deafening banging sound at the door. “By the way, show me your room number.”

    The short woman stood at the counter, took out a dagger from the counter, handed it to Qi Haotian and the others, and said with a smile.

    After a simple communication with the woman, I found that there were many contradictions in her words. She complained vaguely about the lack of manpower, but when it came to recruiting people, she made all kinds of excuses…

    Qi Haotian only speculated secretly about this, and didn’t say much, but he had a grumpy look on his face.

    However, the woman reached out to them to ask for her room number… Qi Haotian’s eyes changed slightly.

    “I lost my room number! Why, I can’t stay in a hotel without a room number. I still want to stay tonight!” Qi Haotian looked at the dagger handed to him angrily, and looked up at the woman arrogantly. He looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of being boiled to death. He was reckless and irritable; arrogant and rogue.

    The woman’s face changed slightly because of Qi Haotian’s words, her smile faded, and a fierce light flashed in her eyes. Her nails scratched the wooden counter again and again, making her look anxious and nervous. The harsh creaking sound made people irritated and nervous.

    His eyes gradually turned red, and he stared at them strangely and hungrily. His voice was very long, and his words were spoken slowly and sharply, “Breaking the rules of the hotel will be punished…”

    “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, my brother had a fight with his sister-in-law, and he was in a bad mood. He didn’t lose his room number! He has always been here with me.” The boy suddenly spoke up, stepped forward, and took the woman’s dagger with his free hand, “We have a room number.”

    As soon as the short woman heard that there was a room number, the nervous expression she had just changed immediately turned into a smile, as if the fierce look, weirdness and coldness before were all an illusion.

    Xiang Jieming was surprised, but there was no expression on his face. He smiled and let go of the boy’s hand, then patted his head and said, “That’s really naughty. Hurry up and take it out…”

    The boy smiled shyly and lifted up the hem of his clothes, revealing a shriveled lower abdomen covered with bruises. A special mark stitched with black thread caught the attention of Qi Haotian and others.

    At this time, the boy calmly used a dagger to cut open the sutured wound, took out a dark red rope from inside, and gently pulled it.

    A copper-colored coin wrapped around the other end of the red rope came out of the wound. When the copper coin was taken out covered with blood, the copper coin hanging in the air took the opportunity to spin before the boy handed it to the woman’s hand.

    The woman didn’t mind the bloody copper coin either. She seemed to be used to the boy’s behavior. She looked at the bloody number 4 on the copper coin before handing it back to the boy.

    While writing down the notes, he asked, “Do you want to stay here, or just eat?”

    “What’s the point?” Although Xiang Jieming knew there was something wrong with this hotel, he asked gently without showing any signs of it. Then he added, “How do you calculate the prices for accommodation and meals?”

    “Elaborate?” The woman seemed to have heard something strange. She looked up at Xiang Jieming and said with a strange smile, “I’ll tell you after you choose.”

    Xiang Jieming frowned, but Qi Haotian suddenly slapped his palm on the counter and smiled scornfully, “What a mess! Only children choose and choose, I want it all!”

    “Giggle…” The woman laughed for a while and looked at Qi Haotian with strange eyes. It seemed that his choice made her very happy, “You are really a likeable guest!”

    “Well, who told me to like you so much? Although this is not in line with the hotel’s regulations, since you have such preferences and I like you so much, of course I will give you the highest standard of treatment.” The woman seemed to be afraid of QiHaotian regretted it and took out four keys and four black envelopes from under the counter. Each key had a room number on it, and each envelope had a blood-red question mark painted on it, “Take it, lucky guests.”

    “What do you mean?” Qi Haotian didn’t reach out to take the key and the black envelope, and the woman didn’t care. He put the things on the counter, looked at them with a smile, and said faintly, “Eating and accommodation are two different services. If you want to eat, we will specially invite guests to dine on the third floor. We must let the guests enjoy the most satisfactory service, and then the guests must take the initiative to pay us.”

    “If you want to stay, you have to stay for three days. But we don’t charge any compensation on the first night. We will only pick something from you on the second night and use it as room fee. Of course, we don’t charge any money for compensation and room fees.”

    The short woman seemed to be afraid of being misunderstood by a few people, and added a special sentence, “We didn’t open the hotel for the purpose of making money. We just gathered together because we were like-minded and collected things that we like. If you have something that we like, you can use it as room fees and compensation for us. Don’t worry, we are not greedy people, and we will never charge duplicate fees or room fees.”

    “There are not many ‘good people’ these days. It’s rare that you are willing to do business at a loss.” Qi Haotian said calmly, “But what if we don’t have anything you like? After all, you don’t need money.”
