Chapter 16: Debate with the Confucian Scholars
When Fu Shengyan pushed the wine cart in, the noisy box was quiet for a moment, and then broke out into even louder noises.
Countless eyes looked at Fu Shengyan.
Wu Pengtian leaned back on the sofa and sneered.
He didn't expect that Fu Shengyan actually refused to be his driver and chose to be a waiter in the club. What? Did he look down on him?
Then he wanted to see how straight Fu Shengyan's back could be tonight and whether he was qualified to be a waiter.
"Oh, why does this handsome guy look so familiar? He looks a bit like the campus hunk from University A." A man with flashy purple hair was holding a red wine glass, with a playful smile on his lips and malicious eyes flashing.
"You're wrong, Brother Li. How can a top student from University A do this kind of work?" The girl next to him pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth.
"How could I admit my mistake? What's the point of reading so many books? The top students from Renmin University are still here serving us tea and water." The purple-haired man deliberately adjusted the cuffs of his suit, inadvertently revealing the watch on his hand, with a provocative smile on his face.
"You must be very short of money now, right? Do you need us to order more drinks? After all, this is the only way you can earn commission, right?" Someone said this, and a burst of laughter rang out in the room.
"Pour a glass of wine for everyone here." Wu Pengtian raised his chin at him.
Fu Shengyan quietly took out the wine, but didn't rush to open it. Instead, he shook it in his hand and looked up calmly.
"Just you guys?"
The arrogant demeanor coupled with these provocative words made the purple-haired man fly into a rage. "You're just a waiter, and you dare to be so arrogant? I think you don't want to work here anymore!"
Fu Shengyan raised his eyebrows and asked calmly, "You want to fire me? Do you own this store? Are you the boss or do you have a good relationship with the boss?"
"Neither? Then what are you talking about? Are you trying to get someone to quit just by talking?"
"You, I..." The purple-haired man's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Fu Shengyan rolled his eyes at him and said, "What are you talking about? Straighten your tongue before you speak."
"What's with your attitude? We are the customers. You guys who work in the service industry, don't you understand that the customer is God?" his female companion asked through gritted teeth.
Fu Shengyan turned to the girl and asked sincerely, "Are you hanging on the wall? Otherwise, why do you keep talking about being superior?"
The girl's expression froze.
"And you." Without waiting for the girl to respond, he turned his face to another person.
"What's wrong with me being a waiter? I earn my wages with a clear conscience. Unlike you, you shamelessly fawn over others to get a meal, thinking you've truly made your way into the circle of the rich and powerful? Do you have money for next month's meals? You're not going to come and get freeloaders again, are you?"
"From the sound of your voice, you seem to be looking down on University A. Didn't you come to University A because you thought the admission score was too low and you didn't want to apply?" He tilted his head in feigned confusion. "Don't be sour grapes, are you? That's so demeaning."
Fu Shengyan sneered and raised his chin slightly. "You asked me to pour you some wine, but you didn't even consider whether you deserve it. Even if you sew your pockets together, you can't get much money out of them, and you still want to order more wine for me to earn commission?"
"Why, are you guys treating us tonight? If you weren't sucking the blood of some sucker, would you have the chance to sit in the box?"
He pointed the gun at Wu Pengtian, who was standing right in the middle of the room. "Are you some idiot runaway from some landlord's house? Do you have too much money to burn? It's rare to find someone who's eager to act like an ATM these days. Seeing you, I'm really experienced."
The box fell into deathly silence.
Fu Shengyan calmly pressed the call bell, "Manager, guest 316 needs twelve bottles of Harlan."
He smiled brightly at the stunned Wu Pengtian and said, "Don't thank me. I've ordered some wine for you. You can each have a bottle and drink it slowly."
After saying that, he clapped his hands, turned around and left the box in a dashing manner.
Team leader Zhou outside the door was also stunned.
"You, aren't you afraid they'll complain about you?" Team Leader Zhou had never seen such a fearless person before. He was overwhelmed by the "troublemaker" in front of him. "Deducting money is a small matter. If the manager finds out about this, you'll be fired!"
Don't underestimate this job as a club waiter. Many people are vying for this position. After all, their monthly salary is 12,000 yuan, and that's just the base salary!
Besides the high salary, the most attractive thing is the clients you can meet during your work! If you are appreciated by a big boss, you can rise to the top in one step!
Team Leader Zhou looked at Fu Shengyan with a hint of pity, but more of it was a sense of disappointment.
Young people are still too impulsive. They have to suffer a little before they can understand what it means to be patient and to take a step back.
Fu Shengyan chuckled and was about to explain to Team Leader Zhou when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
His body froze.

Two hours ago.
Lin Zhihua was listening intently to Cheng Cheng's speech when her cell phone buzzed.
Lin Zhihua glanced at it and saw that it was a group message from her college classmates whom she hadn't chatted with for a long time. She ignored it and waited until the meeting was over before she picked up her phone and opened the screen.
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Li invites you to dinner at the Golden Waterside Pavilion at 6 o'clock tonight." As soon as the meeting ended, the diligent and responsible Secretary Ye reported the president's next itinerary.
"Got it." She looked at the 99+ group message and didn't rush to click it. When she was about to send a message to her husband to let him eat dinner first and not wait for her, Yu Yao's message popped up.
Lin Zhihua's heart skipped a beat. Oh no! Could it be that Fu Shengyan was secretly doing something weird again?
A warm home with wife and children: Mr. Lin, Lawyer Fu went to the Yujing Club.
Lin Zhihua was a little confused.
Yujing Club? Why was Fu Shengyan going there? Could it be that he had an appointment tonight?
Before she could figure it out, Yu Yao sent another message.
A warm home with wife and children: Lawyer Fu not only changed into a black suit and acted suspiciously, but also insisted on letting Secretary Yu go first!
Lin Zhihua couldn't help but picture a person in night clothes sneaking into a heavily guarded building, going through all sorts of obstacles, just to steal...
Got off track!
She didn't know what Fu Shengyan was doing at the Yujing Club, so she simply sent a message to Fu Shengyan first.
The message fell on deaf ears. Fu Shengyan, who usually replied to messages immediately, was surprised to find that after five minutes, the dialog box was still silent.
Lin Zhihua immediately called him.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later..."
Lin Zhihua frowned and didn't call him again. Instead, she sent a message to Yu Yao, asking him to wait for her at the club entrance. She picked up the car keys and drove straight out of the parking lot, canceling tonight's social engagements.
No longer having to work overtime with the CEO, Ye Qianxi's eyes brightened. She sent a message to Mr. Li's assistant, then turned and got into the car next to her. "It's time to get off work, Mr. Lin, take care!"
After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed out like an arrow.
Lin Zhihua: "..."
Secretary Ye is still as enthusiastic as ever about getting off work.
This drive made Mr. Lin doubt his concern for Lawyer Fu.
She hoped that she was overthinking it. What could possibly happen to Fu Shengyan in that high-end club? She had to trust her lover, so she didn't need to worry...
There's no need to rush!
Yujing Club and Zhixing Technology are in two directions. Going there from the company is equivalent to crossing most of the city. It is now rush hour and the road is very congested.
So she and Fu Shengyan rarely went to that club.
The car moved forward slowly at a snail's pace, and Lin Zhihua became more and more restless. Finally, after being stuck in traffic on the First Ring Road for an hour, she finally arrived at the Yujing Club.
Yu Yao had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Lin Zhihua's car, he hurried over.
"Boss Lin..." Oh no, Boss Lin's expression must make her very angry. Yu Yao's heart skipped a beat and he quietly lit a candle for Lawyer Fu.
Lin Zhihua closed the car door and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Your overtime pay will be doubled tonight."
"It's not hard. This is what Xiao Yu should do." Secretary Yu smiled brightly and he diligently led Lin Zhihua the way.
The doorman of the Yujing Club stopped the two of them rudely and said, "Please stay. Show us your membership cards."
Lin Zhihua frowned. These social venues were usually arranged in advance by Secretary Ye, and she didn't tell Ye Qianxi that she was coming to the Yujing Club today.
"I don't have it with me. Do I need a membership card to get in?" Lin Zhihua took out her black card from her bag. "If you absolutely must, get me one now."
The second sentence was directed to Yao.
The doorman was surprised when he saw the gold-stamped black card and hesitated whether to let him in.
"sister in law?!"
Lin Zhihua looked in the direction of the voice and saw Fu Huaqing standing stiffly on the stairs, his expression distorted for a moment.
Seeing that Master Fu knew the two people in front of him, the doorman hurriedly made way.
Fu Huaqing secretly cursed his bad luck. The first time he notified his cousin to come to the party, his cousin did not play by the rules and played a trick on him. After chasing him out, he didn't find anyone, so he thought of waiting for someone at the door, but unexpectedly he waited for his cousin's wife.
Judging from my sister-in-law's expression, my cousin is probably in danger tonight, and I'm sure he will be scolded.
While shedding tears for Fu Shengyan, Fu Huaqing also silently lit a candle for himself.
In order to avoid being beaten, Fu Huaqing betrayed his cousin without hesitation, "Sister-in-law, are you here to see your cousin? I was looking for him, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye."
"He didn't answer my call. Where did you last see him?" Lin Zhihua glanced at Fu Huaqing.
"Ah, my cousin's phone might be out of battery, haha." He smiled awkwardly, "We were just in the private room on the third floor, and he went out for a while and didn't come back."
"Let's go to the third floor." Lin Zhihua said.
"Okay, sister-in-law, the elevator is this way!" Fu Huaqing led the way.
The three of them took the elevator upstairs, and before they had taken a few steps, they heard Fu Shengyan's voice.
As expected of a law student, Fu Huaqing applauded his cousin, who spoke this string of curse words fluently without even a pause.
Lin Zhihua felt relieved.
He just came here to curse people, and it sounded reasonable, so it wasn't a bad thing.
Um?
Why does this outfit make me look like a waiter in a club?
A big question mark appeared in Lin Zhihua's mind.
"Squeak!" Fu Shengyan quickly discovered her, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, then his expression froze for a moment, and his eyes began to avoid.
Is there anything going on?
Lin Zhihua narrowed her eyes.
