Miss Qiao
Chapter 17: Saving Damsel in Trouble

The waiter was prepared to be slapped but that did not happen.

He carefully opened his eyes and met a pair of eyes that were as bright as stars.

“Do not cry. Girls don't look good when they cry.”

Qiao Yue did not try to be kind, but the servant was innocent. He knew Chu Jia well. Since Chu Jia said that the guest knocked on the waiter, maybe that was the case.

!!

The man referred to as Boss Li was holding his wrist tightly by Qiao Yue. He could not pull it back and shouted with a red face, "Where did this nosy bastard come from?"

The room became quiet as soon as Boss Li said that. All eyes were on Qiao Yue, especially Chu Jia, along with a look of fear on her face. He was aware that those who had provoked his boss earlier would be fed to the fish or killed on the spot.

The room was very quiet. Everyone observed Qiao Yue's expression, waiting for his next move.

Qiao Yue slowly released Mr. Li's wrist and said with a smile, “We are all in business, and harmony generates wealth. Don't be so angry, Boss Li. Since I am here, I will return the painting to you as it was.”

Boss Li appraised Qiao Yue. This boy who seemed to be only 18 or 19 years old was able to refine an ancient painting?

"You?"

Qiao Yue smiled but did not reply.

Some of the recovery-conservators also judged Qiao Yue. Although they thought that someone personally accepted by the Yayi Club boss was not simple, but the child's careless appearance did not indicate that he could refine the ancient painting.

One of those who had been in the industry for three years was the first to speak up, “The restoration of ancient paintings is not that simple. The background, history, materials, style, and condition of the painting must be understood in detail before it can be restored.”

Other conservators chimed in, “True. Painting restoration takes a lot of time and effort. Although some of us have five years experience but after some discussion, some, we concluded that it would still take five to six days for us to recover this painting to about 70 to 80 percent of its original state.

He didn't finish his sentence, but what he meant was clear.

“We are only sure can recover it to about 70 to 80 percent in five to six days, and you dare say 100%?”

Qiao Yue ignored their ridicule and said to Boss Li with the same smile, “Bos Li, I cannot prove it with my words. I will show you my credentials.

The qualification certificate for the recovery of the moving relic was put in front of Boss Li, and he couldn't help but believe it. Boss Li was even more astonished when he saw the scope in the middle of the certificate; it listed everything from ancient documents to jade artifacts.

Some of the recovery-conservators looked at Qiao Yue in disbelief. One of them murmured, “That can't be fake, right?”

After hearing what he said, several people, including Boss Li, looked at Qiao Yue suspiciously.

This time, before Qiao Yue could say anything, Chu Jia had spoken for him. “If you do not believe you can verify the certificate number on its official website.”

After hearing this, Boss Li immediately went online to check it out. He didn't expect to actually find it.

But Boss Li was still doubtful. His little eyes looked up and down at Qiao Yue, who was still smiling, again.

"I can let you fix it, but what happens if you fail?"

"Boss Li, what do you want if I fail?" Qiao Yue asked.

"If you fail, you'll have to pay me double as compensation."

Even Chu Jia's expression darkened upon hearing this. Isn't that just blackmail?

"Boss Li, it makes sense." Qiao Yue stopped smiling and said coldly.

“This was caused by your servant who had no eyes. If you're not confident in your abilities, that's OK. I would ask them to fix it for me and then give me a blind maid.

The reason why Boss Li had not mentioned this before was because the waiter knew that he had caused a big problem and had kowtowed to apologize. Boss Li did not see his face until he raised his head to look at Qiao Yue. She turned out to be beautiful, and Boss Li was instantly attracted to her.

He wanted a painting that was 70-80% restored and a woman. This Boss Li is indeed greedy.

Chu Jia's face was red with anger. Indeed, all his servants here are handsome, male or female. But that didn't mean Boss Li could like them as he pleased. If the big man had not physically restrained him, he would have kicked Boss Li, threw money in his face and kicked him out of the Yayi Club.

“Bos Li, are you betting on my skill? If I fail, I will have to pay you double as compensation. What if I succeed?”

This time, Qiao Yue's smile was no longer as bright and bright as before, but rather dark and cold.
