Chapter 207 - 81: Company Cafeteria, a Ten-Pull

"Are you married?"

Qian’s hand froze. He looked at Jiang Li in confusion and let out a bewildered, "Huh?"

Jiang Li smiled and explained, "I don’t mean anything by it. I’m just curious."

Qian awkwardly scratched his head and glanced instinctively at Shen Yanzhi before finally answering, "I’m married."

Jiang Li snapped her fingers. ’When your luck is in, you just can’t stop it.’

’This wasn’t just some married man; he was a walking pile of cash.’

Jiang Li propped her chin on her hand and asked earnestly, "If I give you a tip, do you have to turn it over to the restaurant?"

’He’s married and still doing this kind of work. You didn’t need to be a genius to figure it out—he must be doing it for the money.’

’And if he’s doing it for the money, then giving him a tip should get his favorability score up to 50 in no time.’

Qian shook his head. "No, we don’t."

Jiang Li immediately started rummaging through her bag, but after searching for a while, she only found a few hundred bucks. She immediately looked to Shen Yanzhi. "Do you have any cash on you?"

Though Shen Yanzhi didn’t understand, he still handed his wallet to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li didn’t hesitate, opening the wallet and taking out all the cash inside.

She counted it—there was over eight thousand.

’Jeez, carrying so much cash around. Wasn’t he afraid of getting robbed?’

’Oh, right. We have bodyguards. We’re not afraid.’

She shoved all of Shen Yanzhi’s money and her own into Qian’s hands. "Here, this is your tip."

Qian asked in disbelief, "This is... this is too much, isn’t it?"

He’d been working here for over half a year, and it wasn’t as if customers never tipped. But most tips were a few hundred at most, not like Jiang Li, who would drop thousands, bordering on ten thousand, in one go.

"It’s fine, just take it."

Qian licked his lips. As much as he wanted to accept it, he still refused. "This isn’t right."

Jiang Li said, annoyed, "I’m giving it to you, so just take it. Don’t be so difficult."

’If he doesn’t take it, how am I supposed to get my cashback and raise his favorability for a lottery draw?!’

Afraid that Qian was completely unswayable, Jiang Li issued an ultimatum. "If you don’t want it, then I’ll just give the money to someone else."

The moment he heard she would give it to someone else, Qian couldn’t hold back any longer. He finally reached out with both hands, took the money, and gave them a full ninety-degree bow. "Thank you, esteemed guests!"

[Host has spent 8,626 yuan tipping a married man. 10x cashback triggered. 86,260 yuan has been sent to your bank account. Please check for receipt.]

[Congratulations, Host, you have earned one lottery draw. Would you like to draw now?]

Jiang Li covered her mouth and whispered, "Can I save them up?"

[Lottery draws can be accumulated within a single day. They will reset to zero after midnight.]

Jiang Li suddenly realized something. "Wait, that’s not right. I bought something for my dad today. Why didn’t I get a lottery draw for that?"

[Total accumulated lottery draws: Two.]

Now *that* got Jiang Li excited!

’Two draws saved up now. After I pay the bill later, that’ll make three.’

She felt giddy just thinking about it.

’See? It turns out you *can* negotiate with the System when you need to.’

’So why hadn’t she asked sooner? If she had, she’d probably be the richest person in the world by now.’

’A random draw had gotten her 60% of a company’s shares. The prize pool had to be full of valuable things. She needed to redouble her efforts.’

Qian stuffed the money into his pants pocket, and his attitude became noticeably more enthusiastic. "Esteemed guest, please order."

Jiang Li took the menu, ordered one of everything she liked, and then handed it to Shen Yanzhi. "Order whatever you want for yourself."

Shen Yanzhi pursed his lips, glanced at the dishes Jiang Li had ordered, and added a few more. "Let’s start with these. We can order more if it’s not enough."

Qian took the menu. "Right away. I’ll have someone prepare the ingredients."

He immediately spoke into the microphone on his collar. "Prep for table 113. Prep for table 113."

A short while later, a server came over, took the menu from Qian, and nodded to Jiang Li and Shen Yanzhi. "Esteemed guests, please wait just a moment!"

Qian didn’t stand idle, either. He turned on the exhaust hood, placed the charcoal in the grill, and lit the fire—all in one fluid motion.

A few minutes later, a server returned with a small cart, laden with all the ingredients they had ordered.

While Qian was grilling the meat, Jiang Li kept busy as well, going back to a livestream to farm some more favorability points.

Probably because she had dropped a hundred thousand in gifts as soon as she appeared, her brand-new account had somehow already gained several thousand followers.

Jiang Li was shocked by the follower count on her profile page, but only for a moment. She immediately clicked to add more funds.

She had originally planned to add 100,000, but then she figured that since she was farming favorability anyway, 100,000 wouldn’t be nearly enough.

She went straight for a one-million-yuan top-up, turned her phone’s volume to its lowest setting, picked a random livestream, and just coolly started spamming gifts.

Seeing Jiang Li completely absorbed in her phone, Shen Yanzhi couldn’t help but ask, "Xiao Li, what are you looking at so intently?"

Startled by her name, Jiang Li’s head snapped up. She met Shen Yanzhi’s suspicious gaze, immediately flipped her phone face down, and said with a somewhat guilty smile, "Oh, nothing. Just scrolling through videos."
