Liao Tingting covered her face, looking at Manager Wang with an incredulous expression.
"Manager Wang, that's not what you said just now!"
Manager Wang glared at Liao Tingting with exasperation and reprimanded her coldly.
"Shut up!"
Manager Wang then stepped forward with a fawning smile, greeting Lin Qingtong with a servile demeanor.
"Miss Lin, I'm so sorry, it was my poor hospitality. Please don't mind."
Lin Qingtong's indifferent gaze fell on Manager Wang, her voice clear and pleasant.
“That’s not what you just said.”
Manager Wang looked embarrassed and rubbed his hands together as he smiled apologetically at Lin Qingtong.
"Miss Lin, I was blind to your greatness just now, which caused this misunderstanding. Mr. Shen is already waiting for you inside."
Lin Qingtong's gaze fell on the pond behind Liao Tingting, her tone icy cold.
"My phone fell in there."
Just as Manager Wang was looking on in confusion as to how his phone had fallen into the pond, an employee whispered what had just happened.
"Manager, it was Tingting who broke the phone and kicked it into the pond."
In that instant, Manager Wang felt a chill run down his spine. His cold, sharp gaze shot towards Liao Tingting, and he coldly rebuked her.
"Apologize to Miss Lin and deduct two months' salary from your salary as compensation. Then this matter will be considered closed."
He intended to downplay the matter and gloss over it, but Lin Qingtong remained perfectly clear-headed and coldly uttered a single sentence.
"Fire it up."
She doesn't need money; all she wants is for the other party to pay the price for their actions.
Liao Tingting's expression changed for a moment, and she looked at Manager Wang with a huff, her voice trembling with tears.
"Manager, I... I didn't do it on purpose. An apology is enough. Why are you making things difficult for me?"
“I hate water the most. Manager, you can arrange for someone to retrieve it yourself.”
Her pitiful expression only made Lin Qingtong more displeased, but she simply repeated it with a cold and indifferent expression.
"All you need to do is fish it out."
Seeing this, Manager Wang also chimed in, "It's just picking up the phone, it's not like you're being asked to do anything. Hurry up, Ms. Lin has already been quite tolerant."
The more Manager Wang said this, the more unwilling Liao Tingting became. She always felt that her outstanding beauty was the only reason she came to Liuli Shuixie as a greeter at the entrance. She just wanted to rely on her beauty to run into a few sugar daddies. If anyone took a liking to her, she could turn her life around.
Seeing Lin Qingtong today, her aura alone, even without seeing her face, made her stand out from the crowd and become the focus of attention.
Especially when she saw her face, it was breathtakingly beautiful, which aroused her jealousy and hatred, so she assumed the worst about her.
Lin Qingtong could see Liao Tingting's unwillingness, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips.
"You don't have to pick it up, then you can kneel on the ground and kowtow a hundred times."
Liao Tingting had just made the same request to Lin Qingtong; she was simply returning the favor.
The more pleased Liao Tingting was when she said those words, the more unpleasant her expression became when she heard them from Lin Qingtong's mouth.
"You're making things difficult for me!"
Liao Tingting, with tears of grievance in her eyes, accused Lin Qingtong.
Lin Qingtong scoffed, crossed her arms, and approached: "Isn't that what you just said? Hurry up and pick up your phone."
"Otherwise, the upper class will know what you've done by tomorrow."
These words struck at Liao Tingting's Achilles' heel, leaving her glaring at Lin Qingtong for a long time before finally reluctantly letting go.
"I'll take it!"
So she took off her shoes and started looking for her phone in the pond, cursing Lin Qingtong in her heart for deliberately making things difficult, but in reality, she was extremely envious and jealous of her.
Why is Lin Qingtong so lucky, born into an upper-class family, while I am just a poor girl from the slums?
She was filled with resentment and secretly made up her mind that she would never let Lin Qingtong go.
After Liao Tingting found the phone, she handed it to Lin Qingtong and then squatted on the ground and started crying loudly.
So Manager Wang led Lin Qingtong up the corridor and headed towards the quiet private room.
She could still faintly hear Liao Tingting sobbing behind her.
Even if he didn't rely on Shen Tinghe to get in, he was still a long-time customer of Liuli Shuixie.
I've been too busy lately, and the manager here has changed, so I haven't been here for a long time.
When Lin Qingtong pushed open the door to the private room with her slender fingers, she saw Shen Tinghe's noble and languid face.
He wore a black shirt with the collar slightly open, revealing skin with a hint of flushed red.
Shen Tinghe was twirling a glass of wine in his palm with one hand, the clear red wine colliding with the ice ball, and a refreshing aroma wafting towards him.
He slowly raised his eyes, his deep gaze filled with a light that Lin Qingtong could not fathom.
His eyes were dangerous and filled with a hint of predation.
In that instant, Lin Qingtong felt a pang of panic, glanced back at Manager Wang, and calmly offered a reminder.
"As Mr. Shen's assistant, I am offering my advice to your Liuli Shuixie Pavilion: please do not repeat what happened today."
Manager Wang hurriedly nodded and bowed in agreement, and at the same time, very tactfully left the private room.
After Lin Qingtong stepped into the private room, she placed one hand on the chair opposite Shen Tinghe and shook the car keys in her hand.
"Let's go home."
Shen Tinghe lowered his eyes and slowly swirled his wine glass, his finger lightly tapping in the air to indicate the drink opposite him.
The azure liquid settles at the bottom, topped with a slice of lemon, with ice cubes floating in it, resembling a deep and enchanting ocean world.
"I ordered this for you."
Lin Qingtong didn't move, but just smiled helplessly and reminded him.
