Early Saturday morning, Wen Zhixia followed Ye Yao onto the earliest subway train.
It was the weekend, so there weren't many people and plenty of empty seats. The two of them even took a nap on the subway. Their journey would take about an hour, and when they arrived, they were only five minutes ahead of their work start time.
Ye Yao led Wen Zhixia to see her aunt, who gave them some instructions and then told them to change their clothes.
Everyone working here needs to wear a mask and an earpiece clipped to their ear for easy communication.
After changing into her work clothes, Ye Yao turned around in front of the mirror. She looked at Wen Zhixia, who was coming out of the dressing room, and straightened the hem of her clothes while looking down.
Ye Yao looked at her and said, "I must say, even the uniforms at this private club are different from those at other clubs."
Although the overall design is still predominantly black, the tailoring and stitching are very meticulous. Wearing it makes one feel more upright, and the material is very comfortable. If you remove the private club logo, no one would object to saying it's a private garment.
Wen Zhixia looked up, her eyes crinkling into a smile: "Yes, it looks very nice, and the material is good too."
Ye Yao took out her phone: "Come on, let's take a picture together."
Wen Zhixia walked over to her, took two selfies with Ye Yao, and then said, "Let's go out, we have to get back to work."
The birthday party starts at 6 p.m. Their daytime tasks are setting up the venue and moving things. In the evening, they serve food with other employees. After the party, they collect the plates or wash the dishes. The workload is huge.
Ye Yao also stretched her neck and said, "Quick, quick, you should stretch too, otherwise you won't be able to stretch when things get busy later."
Wen Zhixia smiled and stretched her whole body along with her. Then the two left the dressing room side by side.
Once I went out, I was busy until noon.
The two of them, carrying the employee lunch boxes given to them by their aunt, found a small corner to sit down. Ye Yao took a bite and couldn't help but say, "I'm so tired."
Wen Zhixia didn't say anything, she just kept eating.
The staff meals at the private club were also incredibly delicious and generous, with almost the entire box consisting of meat and only a small amount of vegetables. The portion size clearly indicated that it was prepared by the aunt.
Ye Yao glanced at her and sighed, "Is it good?"
Wen Zhixia swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "Mmm."
Ye Yao said, "I also think it tastes pretty good."
Wen Zhixia took a sip of water: "Eat quickly, you can take a nap after you finish eating."
The workload is heavy. My aunt just said that I only have one hour to rest. It's 12:10 now. If I finish eating early, I can take a nap at the table.
"You're right." Ye Yao nodded, then stopped talking to Wen Zhixia. The two quickly finished their lunch and returned to the locker room to rest in a corner.
As usual, Wen Zhixia glanced at her phone. Wen Sisi had already arrived home and was still waving the groceries she had bought in front of the video doorbell.
Wen Sisi can cook, but she only knows some simple dishes like stir-fried shredded potatoes or scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Wen Zhixia transferred 100 yuan to her so she could order takeout meat and vegetables.
Wen Sisi replied quickly: 【Thank you, sister~ I'll order some fried chicken then! Are you tired from your part-time job today?】
Wen Zhixia replied: "Work is alright, I'm going to take a nap."
She yawned, and Ye Yao, exhausted, had already fallen asleep leaning against the wall.
Wen Zhixia glanced at the time, set an alarm, and fell asleep leaning against the wall.
At 5 p.m., people began to enter the venue one after another. Wen Zhixia was assigned to the kitchen and would serve dishes with her colleagues later.
Ye Yao was arranged to lead the VIPs to the front.
Wen Zhixia was still waiting when Ye Yao strolled over. Upon seeing Wen Zhixia, she exclaimed in shock, "Xia Xia Xia..."
Everyone glanced at her, and Ye Yao immediately became more composed. She smiled politely, then slipped to Wen Zhixia's side and whispered in her ear, "Do you know whose birthday party this is?"
Wen Zhixia asked in confusion, "I don't know."
How could she know?
Ye Yao's voice betrayed her shock as she said, "It's Yu Mingxue's birthday party. I just saw her; she was like a little princess..."
Wen Zhixia was surprised for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.
Ye Yao asked, "Why don't you seem surprised at all?"
Wen Zhixia said, "She was already quite wealthy."
"But they're too rich," Ye Yao remarked. "Their family owns a listed company, and they're already living the high life at such a young age."
“Yes, she’s smart and beautiful too,” Wen Zhixia chimed in. “She’s really amazing.”
"Indeed, everyone has their own destiny." Ye Yao was so shocked that she couldn't help but sneak over and say to Wen Zhixia.
"Go ahead and get busy," Wen Zhixia said. "It wouldn't be good if someone saw us."
Ye Yao nodded, then left the kitchen to continue helping out.
The birthday banquet started at six o'clock, and the dishes would be served one after another starting at six o'clock. Wen Zhixia put on her mask, checked her earpiece, and followed her colleagues pushing a cart to the banquet hall.
The banquet hall is divided into two areas: a conversation area and a dining area, which are separated by flowers.
Wen Zhixia pushed the cart and watched them serve the dishes. Remembering Ye Yao's words, she still looked up at the conversation area.
Soon, Yu Mingxue appeared in the center of the crowd. Just as Ye Yao had said, she was dressed like a little princess, bright and elegant, standing beside her parents and chatting with the guests.
"Xiao Wen, come over here and help me with this," her colleague called out.
Wen Zhixia snapped out of her daze and quickly said, "Coming."
She was focused on her work and didn't notice the familiar figure beside Yu Mingxue.
Yu Mingxue smiled and greeted Shen Jiachen, who had just arrived, warmly, "Brother Chen."
Shen Jiachen smiled slightly: "Mingxue, happy birthday."
Today is Yu Mingxue's 22nd birthday.
Yu Mingxue's smile grew even brighter: "Thank you, Brother Chen, where's my gift?"
Shen Jiachen pointed to the door: "Don't worry, I haven't shortchanged you on your gifts."
The gifts brought by the guests were all left at the entrance and would be delivered to the Yu family after the event.
"I'm looking forward to it." Yu Mingxue's eyes crinkled into a smile, then she looked at the child next to Shen Jiachen: "Jiazhou is here too."
Shen Jiazhou nodded: "Happy birthday, Mingxue."
Gu Xingyuan arrived at this moment, his face also beaming: "Happy birthday, Sister Mingxue! May you always be beautiful and happy!"
"Thank you, Jia Zhou, thank you, Xing Yuan," Yu Mingxue said. "I'll treat you to something delicious in a couple of days."
After saying that, Yu Mingxue looked at Shen Jiachen and asked, "Brother Chen, how about we have a meal together in a couple of days?"
Shen Jiachen nodded slightly: "We'll see if we have time then."
Yu Mingxue quickly replied, "You can eat it when you have time."
As long as she can get a date with Shen Jiachen, she has no problem with when or what to eat.
