"This sweet tofu pudding is so delicious! Waitress, please give me another helping!" A middle-aged man dressed like a businessman said to Yabemiya as he put down the bowl in his hand.
The customers nearby all looked at the businessman with smiles on their faces. Everyone wanted to do something like that, but Meg had proven himself the day before that even a great magic caster couldn't make him bow his head. Even 10 times the price wouldn't tempt him. The pain of not being able to have another helping of delicious food was inexplicably comforting to others.
Yabemiya put down the dish on her plate, and shook her head with a serious expression. "I'm sorry, sir, but we only provide one helping of tofu pudding per meal. This is the restaurant's rule, and it's written on the menu."
"I have money, and I can double the price as long as you give me another helping!" Goodenia placed his money bag on the table, and it clanged as he looked at Yabemiya with a domineering expression. She was just a half-dragon waitress, so how could she turn down a business offer that was delivered to her door?
"I'm sorry, but this is the restaurant's rule." Yabemiya was a little flustered, but she thought about how Meg had decisively rejected Crassus and Julian, and how Roxiya had offered 10 times the price. If she had to rely on Meg for such trivial matters, then she wouldn't be doing her job well. Thus, she mustered up her courage and shook her head.
"Hey, little half-dragon girl, you don't understand what I'm saying, do you? I'm the owner of the largest watch shop in the Aden Square, and I'm also a member of the board of directors of the Aden Square Merchants Union. I think this restaurant only opened recently, right? If you want to join the Chamber of Commerce in the future, I have the right to veto you! " Goodenia's eyes widened, and he continued, "Also, our Chamber of Commerce has agreed that since last year, none of our stores are allowed to hire half-race waiters. You're violating the rules, and as long as I report this to the Chamber of Commerce, you'll lose your job today, and your boss will also be fined."
"I … I …" Yabemiya was so flustered that she didn't know what to say. She suddenly understood why the boss was so harsh on her the last time she came out of the kitchen. It turned out that she had to pay a fine for hiring a half-racial waitress. She vaguely remembered that the boss had bragged that he was a director of some Chamber of Commerce when he was drunk.
She didn't want to lose this job that allowed her to find her dignity, recognition, and warmth. She also didn't want Meg to be fined because of her. He was such a good person. How could she cause him more trouble? For a moment, she was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes.
"I see. I was wondering why I haven't seen any mixed-race waiters in the Aden Square in the past two years."
"I've heard of this rule. Even though some mixed-race waiters are a little scary, you can't just kill everyone. I think Little Boss and Miss Mia are very good."
"Yeah, but if there really is such a rule, then Mr. Mak wouldn't be able to keep her as a waitress, right? I heard … "
"The Aden Chamber of Commerce only accounts for less than a third of the shops in the Aden Square, and all of them are the most popular shops in the Aden Square. Now, they can only increase the number of members by 10 per year, and many shops are trying their best to get in."
"Sigh, what a pity for Miss Mia. She's such a hardworking girl. If I were the boss, I would love an employee like her."
All of the customers began to whisper among themselves as they looked at Yabemiya with pity in their eyes.
"But she's doing a great job, isn't she?" Gloria looked at Yabemiya and clenched her fists.
"The Aden Chamber of Commerce is very complicated. All of the major families are involved, including our two families. The city lord's castle also has some connections." Roxiya shook her head as she looked at Yabemiya with pity in her eyes.
Although the situation was different from what Goodenia had said, if Meg wanted to join the Aden Chamber of Commerce, Yabemiya would be sacrificed sooner or later. The Aden Chamber of Commerce's requirements were very strict.
"What do you think?" Goodenia had a smug smile on his face. As an experienced businessman who had been in business for over 30 years, he knew how to use his bargaining chips to manipulate the emotions of others. Of course, he was only here to eat today, and he was a little displeased that he could only have one serving of such delicious tofu pudding. "But I'm in a good mood today, so if you let me have another serving of sweet tofu pudding, I'll forgive you." Goodenia's face was filled with a smug smile. "But I'm in a good mood today, so if you let me have another serving of sweet tofu pudding, I'll forgive you.
"It's nothing." A cold voice came from the kitchen.
Everyone looked in the direction of the kitchen in surprise. Meg walked out of the door with a plate of Yangzhou fried rice in his left hand. His expression was natural, but his eyes were cold.
"Boss …" Yabemiya also turned around, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Your Yangzhou fried rice." Meg put the plate of Yangzhou fried rice in front of a customer and smiled.
"Thank you." The customer looked at Meg and nodded.
Mag stepped in front of Goodenia and shook his head seriously. "Sir, each person can only order one tofu pudding per meal. We'll treat all customers the same." Goodenia nodded at Mag. "You can only order one tofu pudding per meal.
"You're the boss, right? I'm Goodenia. Let me tell you … "Goodenia looked at Meg, who was standing in front of Yabemiya, with a bit of surprise. He didn't expect Meg to refuse to sell him an extra serving of tofu pudding. It seemed that he had to let Meg know how powerful the Aden Chamber of Commerce was.
"I don't know how powerful your so-called Aden Chamber of Commerce is, but since you've set the rule that members can't hire half-race waiters, I won't join your Aden Chamber of Commerce." Meg interrupted Goodenia. Goodenia's mouth was wide open in disbelief. He put the bag of roujiamo back on the table and continued with a smile, "Besides, my daughter is a half-elf. I use her back as the logo of the restaurant, and I use half of her name as the name of the restaurant. I don't think it's inappropriate."
"I'm sorry. I have no interest in joining a trade union that refuses to use healthy half-breeds as service staff. Furthermore, such a trade union would probably close down very soon." The smile on Mag's face gradually disappeared.
Meg turned the menu over and looked at Goodenia. "Also, the second rule of the restaurant: customers are not allowed to threaten the boss or the staff. Mr. Goodenia, right? You're now on the blacklist. You're not allowed to enter the restaurant anymore. You can leave now. "
