Chapter 14 Waiter
Wu Pengtian shook his newly done hair, threw the gold-stamped card that had been warmed in his arms to the doorman, raised his chin, and looked at Fu Shengyan with contempt.
At the welcome party in his freshman year, Wu Pengtian fell in love at first sight with the beauty from the law school who was playing the piano on the stage. He thought that he could easily win her heart with his wealthy family background and unremitting pursuit, but the beauty explicitly rejected him and said frankly that she liked Fu, the school hunk from the same class.
Wu Pengtian was very frustrated and remembered Fu Shengyan from then on.
During the sports meet, he fell in love with a senior student from the School of Economics and Management next door, who also told him that her crush was Fu Shengyan. Wu Pengtian was furious, as he first met the "culprit" who had caused his repeated love failures on the basketball court.
Wu Pengtian secretly sized up the man in the jersey across from him. He was certainly handsome enough to be voted the "campus hunk" of University A, but he was a basketball major, so beating up those nerds wouldn't be easy. He was brimming with confidence, believing this was the perfect opportunity to humiliate Fu Shengyan.
He easily grabbed the ball, smiled contemptuously at Fu Shengyan who was blocking him, and was about to perform a behind-the-back dribble. However, as he turned around, the ball was stolen. Fu Shengyan dribbled the ball, made a beautiful change of direction, passed the defender, and scored a layup.
There was a cheer from the sidelines, and the entire game that followed almost became Fu Shengyan's personal show. Even the girls from their own college switched sides.
After the game, Fu Shengyan left the court without even bothering to shake hands. Wu Pengtian had a grudge against him after the school basketball game, and whenever he saw him, he would make some sarcastic remarks.
Including right now, Wu Pengtian glanced critically at Fu Shengyan's outfit, his tone filled with disdain, "Dressed like this, are you here for a job interview or to attend a funeral? As this young master's driver, you must wear a suit to work every day from now on. Remember?"
Fu Shengyan's smile remained unchanged, "Okay, Master."
After confirming his identity, the doorman handed the membership card back to Wu Pengtian with a bright smile: "Mr. Wu, please come in."
"Follow me." Wu Pengtian walked past him and walked into the club in a heroic manner.
After passing through the revolving door, Fu Shengyan successfully entered the main hall of the club. He gave Wu Pengtian a middle finger in his heart, and without even looking at the person in front of him, he turned in a direction and walked towards the box number given by Fu Huaqing.
In the center of the hall was a three-story lobby, topped by a luxurious crystal chandelier. Surrounding it were private areas of varying functions. Wu Pengtian, walking in front, didn't even turn around. He took his female companion's arm and ascended the stairs, striding proudly onto the carpet.
A waitress in a cheongsam stopped in front of Wu Pengtian with a glass of champagne and bowed slightly to him.
"Good evening, Mr. Wu." Her voice was very sweet, and every syllable was just right. "Please follow me, I will take you to your room."
"Come on, Young Master will take you to see the world." Wu Pengtian stopped as if to offer alms, picked up the glass of champagne, and said arrogantly, "Don't embarrass me by touching and looking around randomly, and you don't think it's shabby..."
"Master Wu, Master Wu, that person doesn't seem to have caught up." The female companion reminded in a low voice.
"What?!" Wu Pengtian's face flushed red. The person ran away as soon as he came in. This poor boy actually dared to play tricks on him!
Fu Shengyan went up to the third floor, and as soon as he stepped out of the elevator door, he was grabbed by someone.
Fu Shengyan:?
"You are the new waiter, right? Manager Wang asked me to take you with you. Come with me to the lounge to change clothes first." The man glanced at him quickly and pulled him to the right without saying anything.
Fu Shengyan's mind flashed, realizing this was an opportunity. Without explaining, he followed the group towards the staff lounge.
Entering the lounge, you are greeted by a mixture of perfumes. Several waiters in uniform are huddled on the sofa, browsing their phones. When they see someone coming in, they quickly put their phones away.
"Foreman Zhou."
"Good evening, foreman."
"Are you still slacking off here? Be careful or your salary will be deducted!" Foreman Zhou frowned, and seeing this, several people pushed each other and left.
Supervisor Zhou opened the locker, took out the spare uniform from inside and threw it to Fu Shengyan, "Put it on first. Your uniform badge won't be delivered until tomorrow. After you change, go to room 316 and wait. The guests will be here soon."
Fu Shengyan took the clothes and felt a little regretful, as the box he was originally going to was 328.
But it doesn't matter, he can get there by himself.
After changing into the employee uniform, Fu Shengyan pushed the door open and walked out towards 328 while Foreman Zhou was not paying attention.
At the door of 328, there was already a waiter waiting at the door.
Her eyes lit up when she saw Fu Shengyan, "New here?"
Fu Shengyan's face was stern, and he didn't show any guilt at all. "Team Leader Zhou asked me to come over."
"You're so handsome! No wonder we allowed you to show up in front of our big client on your first day." The girl said jokingly, "My name is Yu Yingying. What's your name, handsome boy?"
Fu Shengyan told the truth, and Yu Yingying took him to a small room in the box, took out the wine glasses from the sterilizer and taught him how to place them.
"Put everything in order first, the guests will be here soon."
Fu Shengyan nodded and was about to secretly put the recording equipment under the table when Li Zeyu came in with his friends.
He had no choice but to give up and put the recording device into his pocket. To avoid being recognized, he lowered his head and retreated to the door.
"Open two bottles of Macallan. I have an important friend coming tonight." Li Zeyu waved at the two of them.
"Okay, Mr. Li." Yu Yingying skillfully picked out two bottles of wine from the wine cabinet and signaled Fu Shengyan with her eyes to go to the door to receive other guests.
This move was exactly what he wanted.
Not long after, another wave of guests arrived. Fu Shengyan did not see the target of the mission, but he caught a glimpse of a familiar person with his sharp eyes.
"Please come in." He lowered his head slightly and made a guiding gesture.
The group of people didn't pay any attention to him, a small waiter, and walked past him into the box with laughter.
Fu Huaqing, who was at the end of the crowd, suddenly raised his eyes, his gaze sharp: "New waiter? I haven't seen you before, but your voice sounds familiar..."
When I saw the man's face, he looked like a chicken with its neck strangled.
No, he sent so many messages to Fu Shengyan but he didn't reply, so he thought he would not come. Who knew that his brother actually secretly came here to work as a waiter!
Fu Shengyan seldom attended various salons and banquets, so this group of wealthy young men were not familiar with him, let alone paying attention to a small waiter. But this was his brother, so Fu Huaqing recognized him at a glance.
He leaned close to Fu Shengyan's ear and asked in a low voice, "Brother, why did you end up working as a waiter in the club? Even if sister-in-law doesn't give you pocket money anymore, there's no need to be so condescending."
He had said that Young Master Fu had never been interested in such activities, so why did he suddenly ask about their gathering location and not let his sister-in-law know? But he was a member of the Fu family after all, and if the old man knew that he had come here to kowtow to a bunch of second-generation rich people, he would definitely break Fu Shengyan's legs.
Seeing Fu Shengyan's expressionless face and his indifferent attitude, Fu Huaqing continued earnestly, "Brother, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me. Although these people give generous tips, they are a bit of a jerk. They play tricks on you. What if they try to touch you..."
Fu Shengyan was overwhelmed by what he heard. He gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up! Go in first and don't tell me you know me."
Fu Huaqing left hesitantly.
After this little episode, Fu Shengyan finally waited for his target today.
Gu Shaochen appeared in the magnificent corridor, an unlit cigarette in one hand and a woman's waist in the other. He was wearing a black suit, specially styled. Bai Qingying, who was standing next to him, was also dressed exquisitely, wearing her most expensive outfit.
"Why are you dressed so beautifully today, Ying'er? You weren't this serious when we were dating." Gu Shaochen tilted his head and whispered in her ear, his tone full of undisguised jealousy.
Bai Qingying's figure was barely audible, and she pushed the man's chest, pouting, "Shao Pin, if I dress up every time I see you, you'll think I'm being reserved. Didn't you tell me today that someone important was coming? If I don't dress up, I'll be embarrassing you."
"Baby, you're so thoughtful." Gu Shaochen was so delighted by her coaxing that he kissed Bai Qingying's face fiercely. "Unlike Song Lansheng, who just stays at home all day and makes people laugh when he's brought out."
Bai Qingying rolled her eyes slightly, her tone blaming her, "Sister Song is a good wife. She just gave birth to a big fat boy for you. She is a hero to your Gu family."
Gu Shaochen sneered and curled his lips in contempt: "She is just a poor woman who is not presentable. She is of no use at all. If she didn't look like you, why would I let her get pregnant with my child?"
"Ying'er is kind-hearted." He gently scratched Bai Qingying's nose, his eyes full of doting.
The two ignored him and went into the box laughing and joking. Fu Shengyan's expression was hard to describe. He adjusted the miniature camera hanging on his chest and followed him back to the box.
"Mr. Fu, isn't that person coming?" Li Zeyu waited and waited, and the agreed time had passed for a while, but he still didn't see the person he was thinking about. He couldn't help but lower his voice and ask Fu Huaqing next to him.
Fu Huaqing subconsciously glanced at the door and twitched his lips. "He has something else to do. He may not be able to come."
Li Zeyu didn't ask any more questions and sighed with regret.
Fu Huaqing felt uncomfortable and his mouth was itching. He complained in his heart that people had arrived early and had been standing outside the door for most of the day, but he didn't recognize any of the people in the room.
His brother and sister-in-law did a very good job of keeping their privacy confidential.
Seeing Gu Shaochen coming, Li Zeyu hurriedly greeted him, "Master Gu is here, please sit down quickly, I've sobered you up."
Gu Shaochen raised his eyebrows, picked up the wine glass and took a light sniff. "18-year-old Macallan, Dayu, you've spent a fortune on this. I remember you've kept these two bottles of wine in the club for a long time. You finally took them out this time. I'm afraid you're treating us brothers to a drink."
"We're all brothers. How can you be inferior to others in my heart?" Li Zeyu smiled and clinked his glass with him. "Cheers first."
