When they heard they were going to Xiefang Garden, Wu Shuang and Wang Yuquan suddenly became nervous:
"How about... let's not go. The food is already prepared at home, and it would be a waste if we don't eat it. You two can just go."
Shao Jingque knew what Wu Shuang and his wife were thinking, so he immediately said in a tone that could not be refused:
"How can that be? This is our photo studio's first 'team-building dinner', and everyone must be present and no one can be left behind!"
Yongsi Photo Studio earned 280 yuan in sales on the first day of its opening, which is definitely a great start. Not to mention that all the appointments for the next week have been booked out. The money earned this week alone is expected to be considerable.
Now, for Shao Jingque and others, having a meal at Xiefangyuan occasionally is really nothing.
Wu Shuang and his wife couldn't resist them, and they didn't want to spoil their fun, so they could only agree with blushing faces.
The few of them chatted and laughed as they cleaned up the store, turned off the lights, and stood on the street waiting for Rong Yongsi to lock the door before leaving.
"Okay, let's go!"
Before Rong Yongsi finished speaking, a slightly surprised voice suddenly came from behind him:
"Sister Jingque? Sister Wushuang? What are you doing..."
Shao Jingque and a few others turned around when they heard the voice and found that the person who spoke was Fang Ya.
Wu Shuang didn't expect to be caught by the people from the art troupe here, and she was inexplicably panicked. Fang Ya saw her nervous expression and suddenly felt that there must be some unspeakable secret between them.
Shao Jingque was stunned for a moment, then quickly regained his smile.
"Xiaoya? What a coincidence, I can meet you here too."
Fang Ya smiled naturally:
"Yes, what a coincidence! My home is on Laishui Street. I just happened to pass by here on my way home. I didn't expect to run into you again."
When Shao Jingque heard the word "again" she said, his brows frowned inadvertently.
She still remembered Fang Ya had mentioned to her last time that she had seen her and Wu Shuang at the entrance of Yongsi Photo Studio, and she seemed very interested in asking what they were doing. What a coincidence that Fang Ya had seen them again today...
Yue Feiying knew Shao Jingque too well. Just by looking at her eyes, she could tell what she was feeling at the moment. She immediately interrupted the greetings:
"Okay, let's go! If we don't go, the restaurant will close and there will be no food!"
Fang Ya was stunned, obviously not expecting someone to end this "chance encounter" so soon.
But Yue Feiying obviously didn't care what she thought. How could he be a good person who could make her best friend frown?
She doesn’t know him anyway, so why bother with her!
As Yue Feiying was talking, he was about to pull Shao Jingque away. Shao Jingque also took advantage of the situation and said:
"Xiaoya, we haven't had dinner yet, so I'm leaving now. See you at work tomorrow!"
I thought I could get rid of her like this, but Fang Ya actually said:
"That's perfect, Sister Jingque. You helped me last time and taught me how to put on makeup, but I didn't have time to express my gratitude. And I didn't have dinner either. How about letting me treat you guys to dinner tonight?"
Yue Feiying rolled her eyes so much that they almost flew to the sky. How could someone join someone else's dinner party like this?
Besides, once she comes, how can they chat about the photo studio at the dinner table later? This is her livelihood for the next six months!
Yue Feiying didn't like people who couldn't understand what others were saying. She laughed:
"Really? We've booked Xie Fang Yuan today. Including you, there are six of us. I'm guessing the meal will cost at least 80 or 90 yuan. Is that okay?"
Rong Yongsi was puzzled. How could Yue Feiying act so quickly? When was the order placed? How come he didn't know?
Fang Ya didn't expect that they were actually going to Xie Fang Garden for dinner, and her face immediately turned red:
"Eighty, ninety?!"
Ever since Shao Jingque helped her, she actually had a good impression of Shao Jingque and usually tried to get close to her, hoping to get rid of Liu Cuirong's suppression and threats by having a good relationship with her.
If Shao Jingque could say a few good words for her when she was promoted to a regular employee, the leader would definitely give her face as the mainstay, and then her promotion would be a success, wouldn't it?
But the strange thing is that no matter how she tried to show off in front of Shao Jingque, Shao Jingque's response was always indifferent, not even as cordial as before when the two of them were completely unfamiliar with each other.
On the contrary, according to her observation, Shao Jingque was obviously much more enthusiastic towards Wu Shuang. Not only did he call her "Sister Wu" all the time, but they also often linked arms when they walked together. Their relationship was visibly close.
She also heard that the house that Wu Shuang's family lives in now was the one that Shao Jingque took the initiative to move out and give to her. This is really strange!
Why would a popular pillar of the cultural troupe want to curry favor with an insignificant stagehand?!
She felt that although she had not yet been promoted to a full-time position, she was still a makeup artist, which was definitely better than being friends with the staff. However, she just couldn't get the upper hand in front of Shao Jingque.
Fang Ya was puzzled. In addition, she saw the two of them appear together in Yongsi Photo Studio twice in a row, so she felt that there must be some unspeakable secret between them.
But in order to satisfy her curiosity, she was asked to spend half a year's savings to treat them to a meal, but she was reluctant to do so...
Yue Feiying didn't have time to wait for her to worry, she smiled knowingly:
"Just kidding, look how nervous you are! Even when treating someone, you have to follow the first-come-first-served principle. I'll treat them first today, and you can treat them to a meal in the company cafeteria tomorrow, too!"
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
Fang Ya's face instantly turned even redder. This unlucky woman dressed all in black not only made her lose face in front of several people, but now she also asked her to treat them in the company cafeteria to insult her. She suddenly felt a surge of anger in her heart.
Rong Yongsi also recognized Fang Ya at this time. The last time he went to the art troupe to find Shao Jingque, he asked her for help.
Seeing Fang Ya's expression stiff and somewhat embarrassed, he spoke up to smooth things over:
"Oh, it's you. The light was too dim just now, so I didn't recognize you. If you haven't eaten either, then..."
Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, the three women, Shao Jingque, Yue Feiying and Wu Shuang, all turned around and glared at him. He was so scared that he almost bit his tongue, and he had to swallow the invitation back into his stomach.
Fang Ya was pleasantly surprised to see that Rong Yongsi recognized her and even wanted to invite her to dinner. However, she didn't expect that before she could even be happy for a second, the other party fell silent again.
Even if she was slow-witted, she could still see that she was not welcome here. She felt so pent up in anger that her nose ached, but she could only pretend to be calm and said:
"No, since you have an appointment in advance, I won't bother you."
She turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly turned around and raised the corner of her mouth towards Rong Yongsi:
"By the way, your handkerchief is still here with me. I'll bring it to you next time."
After saying this, she looked at Shao Jingque meaningfully, then turned and left.
Shao Jingque was baffled by her slightly provocative look, but Yue Feiying, who was standing next to her, saw it clearly and whispered in her ear:
"It's over, you've been targeted by this little green tea."
