After Crossing Over, I Marked the Empress

Noon is the most yang-filled time of day.

But at this moment, a shadow loomed over the main hall’s dance floor area of Jinxi Entertainment City.

Manager Wei, who had just slapped the Omega, now noticed Shen Han.

He snorted coldly through his nose, looking at her provocatively.

With his years of experience, he could tell at a glance that this new Manager Shen wasn’t from the nightlife scene.

Though she had a certain devil-may-care attitude about her.

But overall, she was still too clean.

The feeling was like comparing a troublemaker student to a thug who made a living by stabbing people – they weren’t even on the same level.

Manager Wei continued berating the Omegas who refused to “go to sea” in front of him.

In his heart, he hoped that the Alpha called Shen Nuan would come and meddle.

That way, he could use the opportunity to escalate the situation and force her out.

A newcomer without any performance record, clashing with a veteran manager on her first day – she could only end up getting fired.

Shen Han was very clear about this point.

So she just gave Manager Wei a cool glance before leading her lackey elsewhere.

Seeing the other party leave without daring to make a peep,

Manager Wei spat on the floor and cursed under his breath: “Coward!”

Over the next week or so, people came to Jinxi Entertainment City every night to boost Shen Han’s performance.

Some were plants arranged by the special investigation team, others were rich kids acquainted with Zhou Nuoman.

On this day, coinciding with Guard Team 1’s rotation day off, Ning Xi and Ma Haoyu came to the entertainment center to visit their leader and help with her performance.

Of course, they came in disguise.

Seeing Ning Xi and Ma Haoyu arrive, Shen Han immediately assigned a task in their small group chat.

[I’ve sent you a photo. Remember this manager, go give him business later, order the most expensive drinks, make him drink with you.]

[Then find an excuse to cause trouble for him, make him lose face, and I’ll come clean up.]

As soon as the message was sent, it received enthusiastic responses from her two team members.

Ning Xi: [I’m an expert at picking fights and causing trouble! I guarantee he’ll eat a silent loss and have to swallow his anger.]

Ma Haoyu: [Boss, did he give you a hard time? Can I hit him?]

Shen Han: [No, neither of you lay a hand on him. Just stand by and make threats. I’ll send you the specific lines to say right away.]

At 11 PM, Shen Han was leisurely sitting in the tea room drinking tea when Mu Ze came running in panicked.

“Manager Shen, something’s happened!”

“Some very rich but difficult customers came tonight and drank Manager Wei under the table.”

“Then Manager Wei accidentally broke one of their jade pendants. Now they’re making a scene in the corridor. Please go help deal with it!”

Jinxi Entertainment City had three floor managers, working in pairs each night.

Tonight happened to be Shen Han and Manager Wei’s shift.

When Shen Han arrived at the scene, quite a few onlookers were already standing in the corridor outside the private room.

Ning Xi stood at the door with her arms crossed, chin raised, looking very arrogant.

Ma Haoyu stood behind Ning Xi, holding several pieces of broken jade, his expression angry.

Several Omegas stood trembling against the corridor wall, not daring to make a sound.

Among them was the delicate woman Manager Wei had slapped a week ago.

Manager Wei stood opposite Ning Xi, his face extremely unpleasant.

But it was indeed he who had ‘accidentally’ broken their priceless jade. Now that they were targeting him, he didn’t dare talk back.

“What’s going on?”

Shen Han walked over in a black suit, taking long strides.

Seeing a manager come to handle the situation, the spectators immediately became inexplicably excited.

They had just witnessed how difficult these haughty customers were to deal with. Now this thin, frail-looking manager came rushing in to take over – wouldn’t she get a harsh lesson?

This kind of drama where customers bullied staff was too good to miss!

Ning Xi leisurely lit a cigarette before addressing Shen Han: “I spent over 200,000 here today, and what happened? This manager of yours went and broke the jade pendant my grandfather left me.”

“Forget that the jade itself is worth over 3 million, just its sentimental value alone can’t be made up for with money!”

By now, Shen Han had walked to Manager Wei’s side.

She turned to ask: “Manager Wei, is what the esteemed guest says true?”

Manager Wei’s face was gloomy. He wanted to defend himself but didn’t know how to begin.

Because just moments ago, the customer had specifically pulled up the jade pendant’s appraisal certificate and serial number online, showing its value was indeed marked as over 3 million.

He simply couldn’t afford to compensate.

The best solution would be to get the esteemed guests to let the matter drop, even if it meant taking a beating himself.

Shen Han pushed up the black-framed glasses on her nose bridge and politely asked: “Then may I ask how the esteemed guests would like to resolve this matter?”

Hearing this, Ning Xi immediately began reciting her lines: “Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that? Don’t your people here understand the rules anymore?”

“If you don’t know how to handle this, I’ll call your deputy director Brother Hui to come. If that’s not enough, I’ll have your boss Brother Qiang come!”

With these two big shots brought up, Manager Wei’s scalp went numb.

Even the clamorous crowd at both ends of the corridor involuntarily lowered their voices.

All eyes focused on Shen Han, wondering how this manager would respond next.

Would she apologize or call for someone higher up to come handle it?

“Since the esteemed guests hope I can offer a solution, I’ll respectfully comply.”

“Our Jinxi Entertainment City does business with honesty as our foundation and harmony as our principle-”

“When we do wrong, we admit it. When we deserve a beating, we take it.”

As Shen Han spoke, she slightly rolled up her suit sleeves.

Then, under everyone’s astonished gaze, she swung a slap towards Manager Wei’s face.

Manager Wei was still carefully recalling how he had broken the jade pendant earlier.

Caught completely off guard, he was slapped so hard he went flying.

He first crashed into the corridor wall, then collapsed to the ground.

Before he could get up, he had already spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with broken teeth.

Shen Han’s violent action not only stunned the onlooking crowd, but even Ning Xi, who was in on the act, widened her eyes slightly.

In an instant, the previously noisy corridor suddenly fell silent, with only the cheerful music from the private rooms still playing.

Wei Hai simply couldn’t believe that the newly arrived ‘connected person’ dared to hit him.

At this moment, half his face had gone numb with pain, and his ears were ringing as if filled with bells.

He propped himself up against the wall, cursed indistinctly, and swung his fist towards Shen Han’s nose bridge.

Shen Han’s face remained expressionless, but she was laughing coldly inside.

She had actually been afraid Wei wouldn’t dare hit back, because then she wouldn’t have been able to continue attacking.

When it came to scum who trampled on others’ dignity at will, Shen Han never held back in dealing with them.

Seeing Wei Hai almost upon her, Shen Han raised her foot and kicked him in the chest and stomach.

The movement was so big that her black-framed glasses were half knocked off her face.

“Crack!”

“Thud!”

The sound of bones breaking and Wei Hai hitting the wall before falling to the ground rang out simultaneously.

The next second, Manager Wei, who had been strutting around the entertainment center throwing his weight around, tilted his head and passed out cold.

Shen Han straightened her glasses without sparing another glance at Wei Hai lying by the wall.

She raised her eyes to look at the dumbfounded lackeys standing frozen in place: “All of you learn from this too. Don’t be like Manager Wei, or you’ll embarrass yourselves in front of esteemed guests. People will think our Jinxi Entertainment City staff don’t know the rules!”

The lackeys nodded like pecking chickens, eyes lowered, not daring to even breathe loudly.

They were all Wei Hai’s followers, usually putting on airs of borrowed authority.

But now, seeing their boss ground into the floor by Manager Shen, who would dare make a peep? They were all on their best behavior.

The Omegas standing with lowered hands at the side, though somewhat frightened, had an inexplicable light in their eyes.

Two of the bolder girls even raised their eyes to steal glances at Shen Han.

Though they couldn’t say why, they just felt this Manager Shen was very different from other Alphas.

The Omega who had been publicly humiliated and slapped by Wei Hai a week ago was also sneaking looks at Shen Han.

She remembered that Manager Shen’s words just now when scolding the lackeys were exactly what Wei Hai had said the day he hit her.

She didn’t know if this was a coincidence, but her eyes were stinging.

She had been at Jinxi Entertainment City for over a year.

That moment just now was the warmest and most gratifying instant she had felt!

Even though she knew Manager Shen hadn’t hit Wei Hai for her sake.

But so what?

The act of punishing evil was inspiring enough on its own, wasn’t it?

With the show over, Shen Han began to wrap things up.

She smiled and politely asked Ning Xi: “Esteemed guest, are you satisfied with this resolution?”

Ning Xi stood with her arms folded, glancing sidelong at the manager who had offended her in the corner.

Then she waved her hand and said: “Forget it. That guy broke my jade, let’s consider his medical expenses as compensation.”

With that, Ning Xi turned to go back to the private room to continue partying.

After a few steps, she turned her head and smiled at Shen Han: “I like you. How about this – all the spending in my room tonight goes towards your performance.”

“Leave your number later. Next time I’ll bring some friends and introduce you.”

Shen Han smiled and agreed, then directed some lackeys to take Wei Hai away.

She even paid out of pocket to send a fruit platter to all the private rooms, expressing apologies for disturbing everyone.

After witnessing Manager Shen’s series of actions, Mu Ze was completely stunned.

Seeing her about to leave, he hurriedly ran to follow, his manner already showing several degrees more of genuine eagerness.

Shen Han’s assault on Wei Hai tonight wasn’t just to punish this scum.

She needed to break the ice in the current situation, and publicly establishing her authority was the best breakthrough.

To make a name for oneself in a place like this entertainment center, being purely kind and tolerant wouldn’t work.

One had to explode when necessary to gain others’ recognition and respect.

Mu Ze, now running back and forth by Shen Han’s side, was a good example.

Shen Han returned to the tea room, leisurely drinking tea and listening to music, completely unconcerned about injuring Wei Hai.

The night floor manager’s work hours were from 7 PM to 3 AM.

As it approached 3 AM, Shen Han prepared to change clothes and return to her rented room.

But at this moment, Mu Ze ran into the tea room with a grin: “Manager Shen, Yan Ni and the others have come. They’re standing outside now.”

The Yan Ni and others he mentioned were the Omegas who had served in Ning Xi’s private room tonight.

Shen Han asked curiously: “What did they come for?”

Mu Ze rubbed his hands with a leering expression: “Don’t know, maybe they’ve come to throw themselves at you.”

Shen Han gave him a withering look, pondered briefly, then sat back down in the tea seat: “Let them in.”
