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.
