The next day, Ye Jiayao went to Heavenly Residence with prominent dark circles under her eyes. Luckily, everyone was equally lethargic.
Ye Jiayao clapped her hands to get their attention. “Everyone, keep your spirits up. As long as the restaurant is open, we’ll do our job and serve well. Let’s welcome our customers in our best condition, our best service, and our best dishes. Besides, things might not be as bad as we thought. It might just get better so don’t act as if the restaurant’s already gone. If we are absent-minded, we’d offend all our customers.”
Deng Haichuan seconded, “Brother Yao is right. The restaurant has yet to close down, so we must be confident. Even if today is the last day, we have to end it off beautifully.”
“Everyone, get back to work!” Zhong Xiang chirped in and he took the lead by cleaning up.
Not long later, Shopkeeper Li came in with his head hung low, gathering everyone for a meeting.
“You guys stay here first, I’ll take a look,” Ye Jiayao said.
Shopkeeper Li looked as though he was gathering everyone to talk about a funeral. The three days grace period was not over yet, it was too early to give up.
“Shopkeeper…” Ye Jiayao and Manager Qian entered.
Shopkeeper Li looked up, he looked wan and sallow and his eyes were bloodshot. “Where’s the rest?”
“Shopkeeper Li, do you intend to give up?” Ye Jiayao asked.
Shopkeeper Li sighed heavily. “I even kneeled in front of Boss Sun yesterday and it still didn’t work. This restaurant could not be saved. Seven years… I have poured everything into this restaurant to get it to where it was now and it’s just going to end like this.”
Manager Qian said, “Shopkeeper, while you were gone yesterday, Li Yao invited Young Royal Highness Jing over and he agreed to help.”
Shopkeeper Li’s shocked eyes swung to his blessed chef. “Li Yao, is this true?”
Ye Jiayao nodded. “Young Royal Highness agreed to help and had started investigating the situation. If we find out the reason behind this, I believe we can find the appropriate steps to solve the problem.”
Shopkeeper Li couldn’t control the tears of relief that started pouring out of his eyes. He choked out, “Li Yao, thank you. If not for you, my years of hard work would go down the drain. Everyone who has followed me all these years would end up with nothing. I’d let everyone down…”
Ye Jiayao smiled bitterly. She couldn’t accept his gratitude because she might just very well be the cause of this whole mess.
“Brother Yao, the Young Royal Highness Jing has sent someone over,” Deng Haichuan reported.
Ye Jiayao’s spirits jolted up.
Shopkeeper Li said anxiously, “Li Yao, quick, get going.”
“What about the lunch?”
“Why are you still thinking of lunch?The most important matter is at stake! Go take a look at what is the situation. If you need me to show up or spend money, just tell me,” Shopkeeper Li said impatiently.
Ye Jiayao headed out and found Little Jing’s attendant, Ping An.
“Where is the Young Royal Highness?”
Ping An replied, “He is in the teahouse up ahead. Young Royal Highness said that it is inconvenient to speak here so he invited you over there to talk.”
