A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy-Chapter 144: Closes at 10 O’Clock

An hour of work went by far too quickly.

Despite a small incident, Jiang Qin still got off work on time.

The moment she left the stage, most of the surrounding patrons also stood up, preparing to leave.

This left Wei Chen completely baffled.

He quickly stopped the males sharing their booth and asked, "Hey, why are you all leaving? Aren’t there still four soothing sessions with B-level females?"

"Miss Jiang is off work. The soothing sessions after her are useless and just annoying."

Another male pursed his lips. "I’d advise you to leave, too. There’s nothing worth staying for."

"They’re all colleagues, they can’t be that bad, can they?" Wei Chen hesitated.

"We get it. You’re fond of them because you’re fond of her. We thought the same thing yesterday, but... TSK TSK, forget it."

He thought of those two females who arrived late, did a half-assed job, and looked at them like they were trash.

They figured it was better to just let it go.

"If we want to support Miss Jiang Qing, we can go home and tip the songs she releases on the Star Network."

We can also buy tickets for her movies. In short, there are many ways."

"Let’s go, let’s go."

In just ten short minutes, at least a million people had left the bar, and more were still trickling out.

Meanwhile, Mia, who had just come out to perform the soothing, was once again fashionably late.

"Let’s go." Yun Xie also prepared to leave.

Only Wei Chen was unwilling to give up. "Brother Xie, do you remember we came here for a soothing session?"

They had come specifically for the B-level females, so how could they leave right as one was taking the stage?

However, Yun Xie just gave him a cool glance. "That was you."

He had come for Jiang Qin.

If it hadn’t been for that one stunning glimpse of her, he wouldn’t have bothered coming to a place like this.

Seeing that Yun Xie really had no intention of staying, Wei Chen could only follow him with a sigh.

...

Mia couldn’t care less that the patrons were leaving.

She still went through the motions perfunctorily.

Moonlight was so popular anyway; she didn’t have to put in any effort to get her sentence reduced.

Ping Yiqin had the same idea, so she just went on stage with a smile and released her spiritual power for three minutes.

She didn’t even enter a state of soothing.

This greatly disappointed the males who had specifically entered the bar at eight o’clock for the soothing sessions.

Jamie was just a B-level male who worked a bottom-tier manual labor job on the Main Star.

As a result, his salary wasn’t very high.

Recently, his Riot Value had risen considerably. At night, his headaches were so bad they caused insomnia, which left him feeling drained and unfocused at work.

To make himself feel a little better.

He had splurged on a trip to the bar today, just hoping to get soothed.

He figured that even if it didn’t lower his Riot Value, it might at least alleviate the pain and let him get a good night’s sleep.

Worried about picking a bad bar, he had even looked up guides online.

After comparing prices and the soothing masters’ levels, he had chosen to come to Moonlight right at eight o’clock.

He was here specifically for these four soothing sessions.

But in the end, one was late and left early, and the other was even worse—she just released her spiritual power without actually performing any soothing at all.

’Isn’t this fraud?’

And so, he was now at the bar’s front desk, demanding a refund.

"I paid a 1,999 Star Coin entrance fee specifically for the soothing, but your soothing masters aren’t even doing their jobs properly!"

He was furious, but he didn’t dare curse at the females.

But it was a fact that those two soothing masters were not doing their jobs properly.

"I don’t care, you have to refund my entrance fee! I didn’t get soothed at all."

"Sir, please calm down. We’ll process a refund for you right away." The front desk clerk’s attitude was very good.

This helped to placate the other angry patrons considerably.

After all, since females were involved, they didn’t dare make too big of a scene. Getting their entrance fee back was enough.

For low-tier males like them, a single trip to the bar was truly a huge splurge.

If they hadn’t been pushed to their limits, who would be willing to part with that many Star Coins?

They had spent the Star Coins but received none of the benefits. Who would be happy about that?

Jamie pursed his lips. ’You really do get what you pay for.’

He had chosen Moonlight because, during its grand opening period, the entrance fee was several hundred Star Coins cheaper than other bars.

The Star Network said the first session was a C-level female’s soothing and that the place would be basically full.

That’s why he had deliberately come at eight o’clock.

He came specifically for the B-level females.

It just went to show, trying to save a buck wasn’t worth it.

...

One after another, people came to ask for refunds.

Zhu Yongkang’s expression was as dark as a sky full of storm clouds.

All of today’s entrance fees had been refunded.

First, during Jiang Qin’s session, the patrons had gotten a scare. Then, Mia and Ping Yiqin had just gone through the motions.

The patrons who entered after eight o’clock should have been pure profit for them.

But in the end, they were forced to issue refunds for such a reason.

’Are these two females I hired spies sent by a rival business?’ he wondered.

As soon as it struck ten o’clock at night, the entire bar emptied out.

Meanwhile, other establishments still had plenty of customers chatting and drinking Inhibitors.

No bar had ever closed this early.

Zhu Yongkang suppressed his anger and told the bar staff, "Tidy up, let the robots handle the cleaning. You can all clock out and go home."

With that, he took two assistants with him to the dormitories in the back where the two females lived.

He knocked on each of their doors and told them to gather in the back hall.

Mia, having been disturbed, looked thoroughly annoyed.

Ping Yiqin was also clearly displeased.

But Zhu Yongkang had reached his limit. Ignoring their expressions, he said directly:

"Starting tomorrow, I will be calculating the revenue from before eight o’clock and after eight o’clock separately."

The revenue after eight o’clock will be split evenly between you two as your performance results. The revenue before eight o’clock will be credited entirely to Jiang Qin." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

If you’re willing to accept that, you can continue working at Moonlight. If not, I’ll go to the Interstellar Prison and apply to have my soothing masters replaced."

"On what grounds?" Mia demanded. "Why should she get to monopolize all the revenue from the first half?"

The bar’s revenue has always been divided fairly among all the soothing masters."

How do you know those customers didn’t come for us?"

Zhu Yongkang said coolly, "Fine. We’ll count the number of patrons at eight o’clock sharp. Any customers who stay from the first half will also be counted toward your revenue."

"Boss Kang, isn’t this a bit unreasonable?" Ping Yiqin asked in a calm tone.

"What’s unreasonable about it?"

"There’s no rule like this. This isn’t the first time I’ve served a sentence."

Zhu Yongkang sneered. "You’re right, there isn’t. But have you not seen the customer retention rate for the past two days?"

Especially today. After eight o’clock, not only did all the customers leave, but even the ones who came later demanded refunds."

Who is going to bear this loss?"

Their bar doesn’t just make a profit from entrance fees.

There’s also the sale of Inhibitors and other things.

If the customers aren’t willing to stay, who are we supposed to sell all these alcohol-flavored Inhibitors to?

At other bars, after being soothed, customers stay to chat and laugh with their friends, order some Inhibitors, and have fun late into the night.

But at our Moonlight, all the customers are gone by ten. Does that seem right to you?"
