Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Because... I’m the Boss?
"Sister Yun, how did you do that?"
Sheng Yang thought this was just surreal.
They had just been stopped a moment ago. But in the time it took her to answer a single phone call, the Ginza staff completely changed their tune.
"Maybe... because I’m the owner?"
"Sister Yun, don’t joke around..."
Sheng Yang’s knees went weak. ’That’s not something you can just joke about.’
The owner of Ginza had always been a mysterious figure. No one in all of Dijing knew if anyone had ever even seen them. But one thing was certain: the power backing Ginza’s owner was immense. Even people like them wouldn’t dare cause trouble inside Ginza.
Rumor had it that when Ginza was first established, some people had tried to cause trouble. But in the end, the troublemakers and their families went bankrupt overnight, and they vanished from Dijing.
Ginza was established ten years ago. They were all still young back then and had only heard some gossip, so they had no idea if the story was true.
However, a family really had gone bankrupt ten years ago. They just didn’t know the specifics.
The elders in their families never told them about it.
Lu Yunfeng gave Yun Zijin a suspicious look. "But just now... I think I heard the doorman call her President Yun?"
It happened so fast that Lu Yunfeng wasn’t sure if he’d misheard.
This was Ginza, after all!
The thought of Yun Zijin being Ginza’s owner was something he didn’t even dare to entertain.
Yun Zijin shrugged. ’No one believes you when you tell the truth these days.’
"President Yun! I didn’t know you were coming today. Please forgive my poor reception!"
Wu Jiaxiang stepped out of the elevator. Upon seeing Yun Zijin, he hurried over.
"Manager Wu?"
The files from Randomly Spend included a photo of Wu Jiaxiang, but there was always a difference between a picture and a person. Yun Zijin was afraid she’d mistaken him for someone else.
"That’s me! President Yun, this is what Mr. Jing had me prepare before he left. Please, take it."
Yun Zijin knew the "Mr. Jing" that Wu Jiaxiang mentioned must be the former owner of Ginza.
’I wonder what happened,’ she thought, ’to make him sell Ginza after developing it so successfully.’
But whatever the reason, she was the owner of Ginza now.
Wu Jiaxiang handed Yun Zijin an exquisite, small red wooden box.
[Host, take it. I had him prepare this for you.]
Randomly Spend, which had been silent for ages, had actually spoken up.
Yun Zijin raised an eyebrow and took the small wooden box.
"I’ll take it. Did your Mr. Jing say anything else?"
"No, nothing else. He just told me to give this to you and to focus on working for you from now on."
"Alright. I don’t have any particular business today. I just brought some friends over to have fun.
I hear the top floor has everything. Is it available?"
The top floor was surely the most exclusive suite in all of Ginza. It was possible someone was already using it.
As the owner, Yun Zijin didn’t want to make things difficult for her employees.
"Of course. As it happens, no one has reserved it yet. I’ll take you up right now!"
Hearing Yun Zijin’s words, Wu Jiaxiang breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that the new owner would want to immediately assert her authority, as new bosses often do. He was all prepared to be put in his place, but it turned out she was just here to have fun with her friends.
’From the looks of it, Yun Zijin seems pretty easygoing.’
Su Mengyao and the others, however, were so stunned by the chain of events that their minds went blank.
’What is going on?’
’Isn’t Manager Wu from Ginza supposed to be incredibly aloof? I heard he ignores everyone who tries to curry favor with him.’
’So what’s with this display now?’
’And Sister Yun is so calm about it all. We just don’t get it.’
"Sister Yun, are you really the owner of Ginza?"
Sheng Yang’s brain felt like it had crashed. It took a while to reboot, but when it did, he asked the one question that was burning in his mind.
"Uh-huh. Didn’t I tell you that already?"
Yun Zijin did not deny it.
’I already told them,’ she thought, ’but none of them believed me.’
"But Sister Yun, you said before that you didn’t have a membership card..."
"I don’t have a membership card. This is my first time here, too."
’After all,’ she thought, ’I only found out I was the owner of Ginza an hour ago. It’s not like I can just conjure up a membership card out of thin air.’
’Since I’m the owner, what does it matter if I have a card or not? Who would dare stop me?’
"First time? Aren’t you the owner?"
Fu Yang found Yun Zijin’s statement hard to believe.
"Many of the businesses to my name were gifts from an elder. I’m not familiar with all of them.
Sometimes a new one just pops up, like Ginza today. I only got the news an hour ago, so..."
Yun Zijin didn’t finish her sentence, but everyone there understood what she meant.
It meant that this sort of thing might happen again in the future. Once it happens enough, you just get used to it.
"Ah, if only I had an elder like that!"
Sheng Yang’s words were dripping with envy for Yun Zijin.
Other people had businesses quietly handed to them by their elders, while he had to scrimp and save just to scrape together the startup capital for a bar.
And when he couldn’t scrape enough together, he still had to ask Yun Zijin to invest.
’The difference between elders is just too great!’
The others were all thinking the same thing. ’An elder who secretly gifts you businesses? Give us a whole stack of them!’
"President Yun, this is Ginza’s top-floor suite. Only our Supreme Members are eligible to reserve it.
Luckily, no Supreme Members have reserved it today, so you and your friends can enjoy yourselves as much as you like.
Just let me know what drinks or snacks you need."
After speaking, Wu Jiaxiang waited for Yun Zijin to place an order.
"See what they want to eat. As for the rest, you can decide."
Yun Zijin really didn’t want to order from a menu. She had a bad case of analysis paralysis.
"I heard Ginza has a very special osmanthus cake. I wonder if we’ll be fortunate enough to try it today?"
Osmanthus cake. The name sounded ordinary, and you could buy it anywhere.
But for Ginza to build a reputation around it, there had to be something special about theirs.
Su Mengyao had heard people in her friend group chat mention it before, but she’d never had the chance to try it.
Today, she was finally getting her chance, all thanks to Zijin.
"Of course. I’ll have the kitchen prepare it right away."
The osmanthus cake was sold to the public in limited quantities, and takeout wasn’t allowed. Today’s batch was already completely sold out.
But they were with the owner, so naturally, the "limited quantity" rule didn’t apply.
Rules were meant to bind ordinary people. Stand high enough, and you could write your own.
Hearing his affirmative reply, Su Mengyao’s eyes lit up. She’d been craving it for ages, and today she would finally get to try it.
"Then let’s order one serving... Wait, with so many of us, would one be enough? How about two?"
Su Mengyao glanced around the suite. Yun Zijin had seven bodyguards alone, all of them well over six feet tall. They were sure to have big appetites.
Even two servings felt like it might not be enough.
"Let’s start with two servings. If you like it, we’ll have the kitchen make an extra portion for you to take home."
Hearing Yun Zijin, Wu Jiaxiang quickly chimed in, "Yes, Miss Su. If you like it, I’ll have the kitchen prepare an extra portion for you."
