Chapter 226 Suffering the Same Humiliation
Jiang Ning was certain she wasn't mistaken; the waiter who came to her table was none other than Fu Xinyue, who had just gone bankrupt.
When Fu Xinyue saw Jiang Ning, her face contorted uncontrollably as if she had been splashed with sulfuric acid.
But her current job is as a waitress at Jingjiang Dihua Hotel.
Just like Jiangning back then.
Jiang Ning withdrew his gaze and glanced at Yuan Pei across from him.
Yuan Pei wasn't surprised at all to see Fu Xinyue working as a waitress.
It seems that Yuan Pei is not a hands-off manager; he knows very well what kind of service staff his hotel has hired.
Jiang Ning smiled slightly at Fu Xinyue, his smile was very friendly.
"This uniform suits you very well."
Fu Xinyue almost bit her teeth to pieces.
What do you mean by "this uniform suits you well"?
Is Fu Xinyue even cut out to be a waitress?!
If it weren't for Jiang Ning's actions...
Fu Xinyue gritted her teeth in hatred.
However, the more Fu Xinyue hated him, the wider Jiang Ning's smile became.
She quite enjoyed seeing Fu Xinyue's expression of disliking her but being unable to do anything about it.
"Take this dish away and replace it with the next one," Yuan Pei ordered.
Fu Xinyue had no choice but to obediently comply.
Xinyue Real Estate has filed for bankruptcy, but she still has some personal debts. Apart from Jingjiang Dihua, which is willing to hire her as a waitress, she can't even find a cleaning job elsewhere.
"You'll definitely like this dish this time."
Yuan Pei feigned mystery.
Seeing the cunning glint in Yuan Pei's eyes, Jiang Ning couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation.
After a long time, the dishes finally arrived.
Jiang Ning was taken aback.
"This is a top-quality king crab, extremely rare in the Bering Sea, just caught today. It weighs 27 kilograms and its legs are nearly two meters long when spread out..."
Listening to Yuan Pei's enthusiastic introduction, Jiang Ning thought to himself, "I know this all too well."
She had previously encountered the same king crab at Jingjiang Dihua, and she even injured her hand while dismantling it.
However, the taste is still quite good.
Jiang Ning thought of this and suddenly looked at Yuan Pei, only to see Yuan Pei unusually adopting the demeanor of a domineering CEO, ordering Fu Xinyue:
"Help the guests dismantle the crabs!"
Fu Xinyue steeled herself and reached out her hand, but her fingers froze.
No……
No, not anywhere!
Fu Xinyue searched the table and plates inside and out, but couldn't find any tools for dismantling the crab.
How is she supposed to dismantle this?!
Seeing this, Jiang Ning understood.
Yuan Pei invited her to dinner today, using the excuse of asking her to be his advisor; his real purpose was to help her get revenge.
Jiang Ning smiled wryly as he watched Yuan Pei hand the steak knife to the trembling Fu Xinyue.
"Forget it, let's just give her the crab-disassembling tools instead."
"Jiang Ning, aren't you being a little too kind?"
Praised by Yuan Pei, Jiang Ning deliberately sighed, "Alas, what can I do? I just feel sorry for the king crab!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Pei couldn't help but chuckle.
Beside her, Fu Xinyue's face turned purple with anger.
So Jiang Ning only cares about king crabs? What kind of kindness is that?!
In the end, it was a professional chef who dismantled the king crab for Jiang Ning and Yuan Pei, while Fu Xinyue kept cleaning the crab shells.
Halfway through the meal, Yuan Pei again gave orders to Xinyue:
"Go and get a bottle of 1982 Lafite."
Jiang Ning could clearly see that Fu Xinyue's thin body was trembling.
Whether out of anger or fear, Fu Xinyue was ultimately defeated by Yuan Pei tonight.
While Fu Xinyue went to get the wine, Jiang Ning couldn't help but rest his chin on his hands and stare at Yuan Pei.
Yuan Pei felt embarrassed under Jiang Ning's gaze, and his face turned completely red.
Yuan Pei's treatment of Fu Xinyue tonight certainly brought Jiang Ning an unexpected sense of novelty.
She never imagined that one day the person who would help her collect the debt from Fu Xinyue would be Yuan Pei.
Although Yuan Pei usually appears carefree and irresponsible, he is not an uneducated and incompetent spendthrift.
After taking over Jingjiang Dihua, he earnestly talked to each of his former employees one by one.
It was during the conversation that he inadvertently learned that when Jiang Ning was short of money, he had worked odd jobs at Jingjiang Dihua, but was harassed by Fu Xinyue, who threw wine at him and injured him while dismantling crabs with his bare hands.
Yuan Pei felt suffocated just listening to it.
This time, he became the boss of Jingjiang Dihua. He also heard that Fu Xinyue had asked someone to work here to pay off her debts, so he had the idea of retaliating in kind.
“I wasn’t much of a help back then, and now it’s hindsight, but I still want to help you get revenge.”
As Yuan Pei spoke, the smile on his face returned to his usual carefree demeanor.
Jiang Ning lowered his eyes, his heart moved.
She really didn't expect Yuan Pei to do these things for her.
"By the way, Yuan Pei, what kind of jewelry do you usually like to wear?"
Are you going to give me a ride?
Yuan Pei stood up abruptly.
This was the first time Jiang Ning had ever seen Yuan Pei's eyes shine like that.
"This is the 1982 Lafite you ordered."
At this moment, Fu Xinyue brought over the red wine.
Would you like me to open a bottle for you now?
Fu Xinyue spoke expressionlessly, saying what a waitress should say.
Jiang Ning had said the exact same things before.
Jiang Ning thought of what Yuan Pei had told her: "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river."
What happened next was exactly the same as before, except that the person who got splashed with wine was now Fu Xinyue.
"What a pity, such a fine red wine."
Jiang Ning calmly clinked glasses with Yuan Pei, then saw Fu Xinyue cover her face and run into the staff restroom.
Fu Xinyue looks pitiful, but Jiang Ning will not sympathize with her.
If Fu Xinyue hadn't treated her that way back then, she wouldn't be suffering the same humiliation now.
Jiang Ning took another sip of red wine; the 1982 Lafite was indeed quite good.
In the staff restroom.
Fu Xinyue cried for a long time inside, until her eyes were swollen like peach pits and her voice became hoarse.
She couldn't show her face like this; she looked no better than when wine was splashed on her face.
Even now, Fu Xinyue still can't believe how she has fallen to such a state!
Just a few months ago, she was the daughter of a real estate tycoon, living a life of luxury and wealth.
Fu Xinyue hugged her trembling body and bit her lower lip until it bled.
It was quite late when Fu Xinyue walked out of the staff restroom. She wanted to touch up her makeup and salvage her face, but her phone rang just as she opened her locker.
The caller ID showed it was Chu Qingxue.
The sun slowly rose, illuminating the Green Lake Villa.
The Lu family's nannies, maids, and cooks had been busy all morning.
However, Yang Liyun was still not satisfied.
She stood with her hands on her hips, pointing and giving orders.
"How did you make this dish? It's not even as good as what Jiangning made..."
She then shut her mouth again.
"When Wanrong and the others come over later, don't mention Jiang Ning."
Lu Yexiong reminded him from the side.
Today is the day they invited the Lin family of three to their villa for a small gathering.
However, Lu Junyan has not appeared yet.
