Chapter 433 Old Grudges Plus New Hatred

He listened to Jin Nan's honest but unpleasant advice, kept a low profile, and although he looked down on the waiters, he was willing to lower his status and mingle with them.

He treated a top student who could get into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and was even a graduate student of Vice Minister Li, like a brother. Every waiter who saw him gave him a smile.

It's definitely not a problem with the service team.

What else could it be?

Could it be something that happened with the translation team? Was it exposed? Was it discovered?

So much time has passed, if it was going to be discovered, it would have been discovered long ago. The investment promotion conference is tomorrow, why is it being discovered today?

Is he really that unlucky?!

"Team leader, if you're going to kick me out, you should at least let me know why, so I can leave with a clear understanding, right?"

Zhao Shucheng forced a smile, suppressing his anger.

The team leader glanced at him, and could easily see the way his eyes were darting around. What was he trying to get information out of him?

"...Although this is a service team, it's not a place without any requirements."

With the investment promotion conference approaching, the team leader was worried that Zhao Shucheng, who was prone to causing trouble at the translation team, might cause trouble at the conference the next day. He coughed twice, sighed, and said, "Zhao, a high-achieving student like you shouldn't stay here. Here's your allowance for the next few days. Take the money and leave now."

"I'm not leaving."

Zhao Shucheng's face turned cold. "If I'm wrong, you can point it out and I can correct it. Even if you think I can't change, you should at least let me die knowing why. What kind of nonsense is this? You're kicking me out for no reason. I'm not happy about it."

The team leader laughed in exasperation.

Is this a case of feigning ignorance when one knows the truth, and trying to create a fuss?

"You're still not convinced? If it weren't for Vice Minister Li's sake, would I have let you in without any investigation just because you're a graduate student of Vice Minister Li? I trust Vice Minister Li, it has nothing to do with you! Kid, you haven't even entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs yet, wait until you're in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before you try to show off in front of me!"

Zhao Shucheng frowned, a storm brewing in his eyes, as he quietly watched the team leader.

The team leader's face darkened as he looked at Zhao Shucheng. "Aren't you leaving yet? Or do you want me to call the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and report your actions here to Vice Minister Li?"

"you!"

Zhao Shucheng's expression changed.

He thought back to the moment he made eye contact with Sister-in-law Yao during the meeting, and his mouth felt dry and bitter. He was both annoyed and irritated. He should have lowered his head and avoided meeting her gaze when she looked at him.

But at that time, he wanted to show her that even without joining the translation team, he still had a way to get into the investment promotion conference.

Now, everything's been messed up!

Zhao Shucheng swallowed hard, forcing a smile. "Team leader, has someone been saying bad things about me to you? What did they say? I can explain. Actually, I'm also a victim. I was instigated..."

The team leader waved his hand.

"You can't tell me your troubles. In short, I can't afford the slightest mistake. I can't use you anymore. Go back to where you came from. If you don't leave, don't blame me for calling security to kick you out. Three..."

Zhao Shucheng gritted his teeth, took the pass and put it down, picked up the subsidy in the envelope, and turned to leave.

We can only go back and find another excuse to get by.

Hopefully, Vice Minister Li is too busy with his duties to pay attention to this investment promotion conference or his newfound position.

As he walked towards the exit of the investment promotion venue, he became increasingly unwilling to accept the situation.

He didn't even know why he was being kicked out.

no!

Even in death, one should die knowing why.

Zhao Shucheng stopped and looked around. When he saw a waiter who was extremely enamored with him not far away, his eyes flickered slightly. He quickly walked over and pulled the waiter outside.

"Brother Shucheng?"

The waiter called out, his eyes filled with surprise and delight. "You wanted to see me?"

"Something's up."

Zhao Shucheng glanced inside and whispered to the waiter, "Did you see who the team leader met before I saw him?"

"Before I met you?"

The waiter went to the temporary office where Zhao Shucheng and the team leader had been and said, "Oh, I think they also met with Deputy Director Cao. The two of them talked for quite a while. When the team leader came out, he looked really grim. Then he called you and Xu Hua. I saw that Xu Hua came out quite happy. I didn't even have a chance to ask him what was so important..."

Before the word "Xing" could even be uttered, the waiter looked up and saw Zhao Shucheng's face contorted with anger. Startled, he quickly exclaimed, "Brother Shucheng, you look terrible! What happened?"

Zhao Shucheng was furious.

Deputy Director Cao!

It was definitely her doing.

Even though she's been reduced to working as a waitress, she still won't let him go!

Is it because he targeted Yao Jianshu and caused trouble for the translation team?

He accepted them all. That was his personal feud with Yao Jianshu. What did it have to do with someone surnamed Cao?

They made things difficult for him at every turn!

What a waste of your breath!

Did you think that just kicking him out would solve the problem?

If he wanted to target Yao Jianshu, wouldn't it be easier for Yao Jianshu to study with him again once they returned to school? It would be much easier for him to learn some tricks then than here!

Knowing the reason, Zhao Shucheng was even more unwilling to give up.

He admitted that part of the reason he came to work as a waiter was because he was afraid that if Vice Minister Li smelled it when he turned around, he would have nothing to say.

Another reason was that he was still hoping to find an opportunity to embarrass Yao Jianshu at the meeting, preferably by making him do something wrong and giving him a demerit.

In this way, Vice Minister Li will dismiss her because of her character flaws!

Now, old grudges have been compounded by new ones.

He would not only make things difficult for Yao Jianshu, but he also wanted to teach Cao a lesson, to let her know that he was a vengeful person and not someone she could bully at will.

Zhao Shucheng narrowed his eyes, sneered, and beckoned the waiter to come closer, whispering a few words in his ear.

The waiter's brows furrowed more and more, and his expression became somewhat unnaturally resistant as he retreated from Zhao Shucheng.

He waved his hand and refused repeatedly, "No, no, Brother Shucheng, I'm just a nobody trying to make a living. If the team leader finds out, I might lose my job. I need to support my family with my salary."

"There will be seventy or eighty translators and twenty or thirty waiters at the venue tomorrow. There will also be more than a hundred foreign businessmen attending. With so many people walking around, if you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who will know?"

Zhao Shucheng frowned and glanced at him. "Haven't you heard the saying, 'The bold get rich, the timid starve'? With a heart as small as yours, how will you earn a living?"

The waiter still shook his head and refused.

She said, "No, I'm scared."

"What are you afraid of? I just want to vent my anger, I won't hurt any innocent people."

Zhao Shucheng glared at him with disdain, reached out and took out the subsidy the team leader had given him, stuffed it into his hand, and said, "Take this first, it's a subsidy. I'll give you another hundred yuan later."

When the waiter saw the money and heard that he could get an extra hundred, he licked his lips and swallowed, clearly tempted.
