In a flavorful hot pot restaurant
When Bai Qianmo arrived at the restaurant, Xia Wei had already arrived.
The two ordered food. Bai Qianmo picked up a glass of water from the table and took a sip, while Xia Wei kept staring at her.
"Is there something on my face?" Bai Qianmo lifted her eyelids and looked at Xia Wei indifferently.
Xia smiled and shook her head, then leaned closer to Bai Qianmo: "Actually, I have a question I want to ask you."
"you say."
"How can you be so strong? Wu Zouyang looks quite tall, at least 160 pounds, and you actually used one hand to lift him up..." When she got excited, Xia Wei raised her arm and gave a live demonstration of the scene where Bai Qianmo lifted Wu Zouyang and slammed him against the wall.
"How did you do that?"
Bai Qianmo rested one hand lightly on the table, slowly playing with the water glass in front of her.
"You really want to know?"
Xia Wei nodded repeatedly.
Bai Qianmo rested her chin on one hand, squinted her eyes, and smiled.
“I seem to have been born with great strength. When I was a child, I would go up the mountain to chop firewood. A hundred pounds of dry firewood, a ten-year-old girl like me, could easily carry down the mountain. That’s when I realized that I was different from other children.”
Xia Wei exclaimed in amazement, "It's more than just different! This is practically divine power! I thought this kind of power only existed in movies. You were so cool when you beat up Wu Zouyang yesterday. Qianmo, it's a good thing you're a girl. If you were a boy, I would have fallen for you last night."
Bai Qianmo glanced at Xia Wei: "This world is actually much more magical than the movies, it's just that ordinary people can't see it. By the way, I also wanted to ask you, how did you and Guo Qiheng meet?"
Mentioning Guo Qiheng, Xia Wei immediately dropped the envy on her face, and a trace of sorrow appeared between her brows and eyes.
"Don't even mention it. Mr. Guo is the cold-blooded employer I told you about yesterday. He caught us watching R-rated content in room 3312 yesterday. When he picked me up and took me back to the Guo family home, he just told me to go straight to my room to rest. He hasn't let me see Xiaomidou even once since I left the house today. It seems like this job is completely over..."
Thinking of this, Xia Wei felt a sharp pain in her heart.
"I worked at the Guo family's for over a month, not only because of the good salary and benefits, but also because I really like that kid, Xiaomidou. He's well-behaved, sensible, and reserved. I think this kid is like a combination of contradictions, embodying the innocence of a child and the composure of an adult. This kid will definitely be extraordinary when he grows up, and he'll surely charm a lot of girls. I don't know how his mother could bear to abandon him like this."
“I don’t think Mr. Guo is the kind of person who would hold a grudge over something so trivial. Maybe he felt you were frightened last night, so he wanted you to get some rest?”
Although she hadn't had much contact with Guo Qiheng, she felt that beneath his reserved exterior lay a thoughtful and gentlemanly demeanor.
Xia Wei was a little confused: "If only it were like this, this morning Mr. Guo called me to his study and asked if I was dissatisfied with my current salary. He said that if I had any concerns about my current salary, I could bring it up with him in person! Waaah... Isn't this obviously a way of getting rid of me?"
"Wait! How come giving you a raise is considered firing you?" Bai Qianmo was completely confused.
Xia Wei tugged at the leafy greens beside her and sighed, "If someone else said that, I would definitely think that the boss was going to give me a raise. But it's not necessarily the case with Mr. Guo. I've been working at the Guo family for more than a month, and he has only said less than ten words to me in total."
Bai Qianmo picked up a piece of beef and ate it slowly.
"Ten words?"
Xia Wei shrugged: "The only two times I've met him, I've spoken to him about Xiaomidou's situation. He usually just listens quietly, followed by 'Hmm, okay, I understand.' Both times, he gave the same answer, exactly ten words in total."
"Moreover, my work arrangements and salary are all arranged by the housekeeper. Mr. Guo would never care about such trivial matters. His sudden offer to give me a raise is clearly an attempt to embarrass me. It's a reminder that I am not a qualified tutor and am no longer suitable to be his son's teacher. So I have already decided to resign tonight."
Bai Qianmo lifted her eyelids and silently glanced at Xia Wei, pondering for a moment: "That's fine. Taking the initiative to resign is a good way to test the other party's intentions. If he really wants you to leave, he should accept your resignation application."
Xia Wei looked dejected and said listlessly, "They'd love for me to submit my resignation. Looks like I'll be worrying about finding a job again soon."
A faint smile flickered in Bai Qianmo's eyes.
"Perhaps the outcome will be unexpected."
If Guo Qiheng really wanted to get rid of Xia Wei, given his personality, he would never use a strategy of retreating to advance.
He's the kind of person who wouldn't waste a minute on meaningless people or things. If he wanted Xia Wei to leave, he could have simply notified the housekeeper; there was no need to go through all this trouble.
Recalling Guo Qiheng's expression when he barged into the room yesterday, his gaze had never left Xia Wei since he entered.
Bai Qianmo gave Xia Wei a deep look; she seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.
The Huo family sent Huo Xiuxiu to arrange a marriage alliance, but this alliance might not be so easy to form.
Perhaps Xia Wei is a good starting point.
Bai Qianmo was lost in thought when she looked out the window beside her. This was the third floor of the mall, and the window faced the mall's private parking lot.
A familiar figure stepped out of the car, followed by a tall, upright figure slowly getting out of the driver's seat.
Upon seeing the young couple, Bai Qianmo's pupils contracted slightly.
The woman was wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, and although she was well disguised, Bai Qianmo recognized her at a glance. She was Zhang Yafei, a popular first-tier actress.
The man standing next to Zhang Yafei was Li Yushu.
Zhang Yafei glanced around, perhaps seeing that there were no paparazzi following her nearby, she moved closer to Li Yushu, leaning her whole body against him, her arm intimately hooked around his arm.
Judging from their intimate actions, they have clearly crossed the line of friendship!
