Upon hearing Lu Shen's name, both President Zheng and Jian Mengyu showed expressions of fear.
They knew better than anyone that if Young Master Lu found out they had come to cause trouble today, they would be in big trouble.
Jian Mengyu's body trembled slightly.
The last time she met Lu Shen, she emptied her pockets, draining the Jian family's coffers.
This time, she directly angered Lu Shen's younger sister, and she dared not imagine the consequences.
"Ms. Lu, I'm sorry, I really didn't do well today. I apologize to you here."
Mr. Zheng was the first to step forward and apologize.
He's a businessman; he only does things that benefit himself.
If there is any risk, he will immediately back down.
Without the ability to be flexible and adaptable, he wouldn't have been able to thrive in both the business and entertainment industries.
Whether the eldest daughter of the Lu family is truly suffering from a headache is also important.
As long as I can keep her happy and prevent her from complaining to Young Master Lu, that's fine.
Lu Jin didn't say anything, continuing to complain of a headache, while Jian Ruoxi continued to comfort her.
It seems that his apology alone is clearly not enough.
President Zheng quickly gave Jian Mengyu, who was standing next to him, a wink.
Helpless, Jian Mengyu had no choice but to step forward and apologize to Lu Jin.
"Ms. Lu, I'm sorry, it's all my fault today."
Lu Jin was clearly not satisfied with this answer; simply apologizing to her was not enough.
Ruoxi just endured a lot of criticism from them.
Lu Jin continued to cry out in pain.
Jian Mengyu was a little flustered, not knowing where to put her hands.
She had already apologized, so why wouldn't the eldest daughter of the Lu family let her go?
With Jian Ruoxi always by his side, President Zheng immediately understood.
He nodded towards Jian Mengyu, indicating in the direction where Jian Ruoxi was.
Is President Zheng trying to get her to apologize to Jian Ruoxi?
Jian Mengyu pursed her lips, looking unwilling.
But under Lu Jin's repeated shouts and President Zheng's strong hints, Jian Mengyu had no choice but to agree.
She stepped forward and said to Jian Ruoxi.
"Sister, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said those things to you, and I shouldn't have made Miss Lu angry."
"You can punish me however you want, as long as Miss Lu can calm down."
She endured so many years of poverty and hardship; now she's just suffering a little humiliation.
Compared to the prosperous days to come, these things are nothing.
"Really? Any punishment is acceptable?" Lu Jin's eyes suddenly lit up.
Jian Mengyu suddenly had a bad feeling.
But once the words have been spoken, there's no reason to take them back.
"Yes, Miss, just give the order."
Lu Jin thought for a moment, then spoke.
"Alright then, I won't make things difficult for you."
"You all go back to the hotel and rest first. Once the banquet is set up, you can go to the villa entrance to greet the guests."
Both President Zheng and Jian Ruoxi couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their mouths.
Welcoming guests?
That's a job only servants can do.
Jian Mengyu felt a chill run down her spine at the thought of standing at the front door to greet guests.
Mr. Zheng wasn't much better off; all the people who came to the party today were old acquaintances.
If he sees them tonight and they ask him questions, how will he explain?
Hesitation appeared on their faces.
Jian Ruoxi noticed their apparent reluctance and continued to embellish the story.
"Of course, if you feel that Xiao Jin's arrangements are not good, you don't have to do it."
A glimmer of hope ignited in the hearts of General Manager Zheng and Jian Mengyu.
So, they still have other options?
They looked at Jian Ruoxi expectantly, hoping she could suggest a lighter punishment on Lu Jin's behalf.
Having been here for so long, they've figured it out.
Jian Ruoxi's words carry considerable weight here; not only the servants listen to her.
Even the eldest daughter of the Lu family was willing to listen to her.
"You can stay here and wait for Dao Lushen to return. I'll come up with a new one for you."
"So? How about you consider it?"
What kind of choice is this?
It's the same as not choosing at all.
Once Young Master Lu arrives, who knows how severe the punishment he will bring upon them?
Perhaps what Lu Jin was thinking was somewhat better.
"No, I'd rather not consider it." President Zheng waved his hand repeatedly at Jian Ruoxi.
Waiting for Young Master Lu to arrive?
They had no chance to bargain.
Perhaps, by comparison, the punishment proposed by Lu Jin is the lightest.
"I think Miss's suggestion is excellent, let's do it that way."
Jian Mengyu wanted to refuse, but since President Zheng had already agreed, she couldn't very well refuse.
Lu Jin looked weakly at the servants around her.
"Take them to the hotel first."
"Remember to have them prepare in advance when the banquet is about to begin."
The servants, barely suppressing their laughter, replied, "Yes."
That young lady is really ruthless; she can even come up with such a way to punish people.
It's not very harmful, but it's extremely insulting.
Especially at the very end, just as President Zheng and Jian Mengyu were about to leave, the young lady didn't forget to add a sentence.
"The servants who were originally prepared to greet the guests can be removed."
"President Zheng and Miss Jian are perfectly capable of shouldering the responsibility."
Upon hearing this, as General Manager Zheng stepped out of the hall and was about to descend the steps, he nearly tripped and fell.
It was Jian Mengyu who caught him in time, preventing him from falling.
If he had known things would turn out this way, he would never have listened to Jian Mengyu and come early.
President Zheng brushed Jian Mengyu's hand off his arm, glared at her, and strode forward.
