Chapter 116: The Heartless Educated Youth in the Period Literature (21)
Without waiting for the system to answer, the people in front filed in.
Su Yu had no choice but to follow him into the box.
As soon as she walked in, the foreman behind her suddenly grabbed her collar and whispered, "Don't serve the dishes. Go pour the wine for the person in the middle. Be careful and don't make any mistakes. Just do it the same way as before."
Su Yu was pushed in by the foreman with a confused look on her face, and the tray in her hand was snatched away. She was left with empty hands and a dazed look in her eyes.
Why her?
What was it like before?
Su Yu seemed to be in a trance and stood there, not knowing what to do.
The box was very large, with a grand round table in the middle. A group of bosses in suits sat around it, chatting and laughing, which was dazzling to watch.
When the foreman saw that she didn't move, he looked murderous in his eyes, but then he put on a smiling face.
"Xiao Yu, why are you still standing there? Go and pour some wine for the bosses."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention was drawn.
Su Yu was pushed to the front by the foreman, and a gnashing voice drilled into her ears: "I'm telling you, today's dinner is very important. The manager personally instructed us to entertain you well. Don't make any mistakes for me. Go quickly."
A pair of hands behind her gently pushed Su Yu, who was caught off guard and unable to brake, and crashed straight into the table.
There was only a loud bang.
The wine glass on the table was not standing steadily and swayed twice, then fell to the ground in front of everyone's shocked gaze, and the fragments splashed on the black trouser legs of the suit.
Su Yu: “…”
Su Yu turned around with a sad face, and gave a smile uglier than crying to the foreman who had a scary expression as if he wanted to eat someone.
Do you believe me when I say I didn't mean it?
The foreman gave a death smile.
Su Yu's heart trembled, and she turned her head tremblingly, slowly raised her eyes, and looked at the customer in front of her who was highly valued by the foreman but was messed up by her.
Eyes met.
The gaze was dark and calm, without any ripples.
A look of shock and bewilderment, with a watery gleam in it.
At that moment, it was extremely quiet.
They both recognized each other.
Su Yu's pupils suddenly dilated. She didn't expect that this world was so small and they would meet here in this way.
Everyone looked at them, not daring to breathe. This little girl looked good, but she had a bad life. She could have offended anyone else, but she had to offend Mr. Shao.
Boss Zhang, who took the lead in hosting the banquet, looked particularly unhappy.
Just when Su Yu thought she should say something, the man in front of her withdrew his gaze.
As if she was just a stranger.
The man straightened his lips and looked away calmly and impatiently: "Is this the service of your hotel?"
Su Yu's words of greeting were stuck in her throat and she stood there in a daze.
The broken glass in front of him was scattered all over the floor.
"Sorry, I'll pick it up right away..."
She apologized helplessly, her mind in a mess. She squatted down to pick up the broken pieces, but accidentally pricked her finger.
The glaring red blood gushed out from the wound.
Shao Jinglin suddenly clenched his hands on his knees, as if he was restraining something.
"That's enough, let her out." The man said in a calm voice, with impatience hidden between his brows.
The reunion looked a little awkward.
The man who once protected her in his hands, now seemed to have no feelings for her at all. He was dressed in a suit and looked high and mighty, being flattered and fawned upon by everyone.
But I am doing so badly.
The extreme gap and shame swept in like a storm.
Su Yu squatted on the ground in embarrassment, tears welling up in her eyes. She lowered her head and choked up to apologize: "I'm sorry..."
Shao Jinglin's patience had run out and he was unwilling to waste time on her. A clear voice slowly sounded from above his head.
"Need me to say it a second time?"
Su Yu’s face turned pale.
As soon as these words were spoken, the people in the box woke up as if from a dream, and quickly asked someone to take Su Yu away.
Boss Zhang picked up his wine glass and came over with a smile to apologize, saying that he was sorry for the poor hospitality and asked Shao Jinglin to forgive him.
In fact, I almost cursed the hotel staff to death in my heart.
Fortunately, he had specially found the owner of the hotel and repeatedly told him to instruct his men to be more careful, but he didn't expect that an accident still happened.
The other waiters were trembling with fear and moved more carefully.
The same thought popped up in their minds at the same time: Su Yu was in trouble.
Fortunately, Shao Jinglin did not pursue the matter. Boss Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and invited everyone to drink.
The atmosphere gradually heated up.
What happened just now seemed like an insignificant episode and was forgotten by everyone.
After three rounds of drinks, Shao Jinglin said goodbye in a calm voice and left the box.
On the way to the bathroom, I turned the corner and could vaguely hear voices of accusation and scolding.
The pace slowed down uncontrollably.
"If you can do it, do it. If you can't, get out. I warned you many times before you went in, telling you to be careful and not to make any mistakes. The guests inside are very powerful and we can't afford to offend them. But you made a big mess for me as soon as you went in."
The foreman's voice trembled with anger.
"I was doing this for your own good, so I asked you to pour wine for the guests, so that they could give me a tip if they were happy. But what did you do? You turned a blind eye to my kindness!"
The foreman’s hand was almost pointing at Su Yu’s nose.
Su Yu dodged backwards and said aggrievedly, "I'm sorry, sister, I really didn't mean it..."
And if you hadn't pushed me, I wouldn't have hit the table.
Su Yu didn't dare to say this out loud.
The foreman took a deep breath and calmed himself down: "Forget it, let's not talk any more. Go and get this month's salary and resign."
Su Yu's face changed drastically when she heard this.
She quickly grabbed the foreman's arm and said, "No, sister, you are my sister, you know my family situation, I can't resign."
"If I quit, my mother-in-law would definitely bully me to death. She disliked me when I first married into their family, and then that incident happened. If I hadn't been able to make money now, I would have been bullied to death a long time ago."
Su Yu pleaded with the foreman with tears in her eyes.
"As we are both women, please help me."
Shao Jinglin could no longer listen to what was said afterwards.
Su Yu got married.
These words hit him like a heavy hammer in the heart.
Shao Jinglin's face suddenly darkened, and he clenched his hands tightly at his sides. Veins on the back of his hands popped out, and the air around him froze into ice and was frighteningly cold.
Shao Jinglin imagined what their reunion would be like.
I imagined that she would regret it, and approach him to please him and beg for forgiveness, just like she did in the Liangjiawan Brigade. I imagined that she would remain indifferent and still not have him in her heart. I also imagined that I would completely forget her...
But the only thing I never thought about was that Su Yu was married.
She married someone else.
Shao Jinglin's face was gloomy, and his eyes were cold, like a bottomless cold pond, emitting a cold light, and he closed his eyes in restraint.
She actually got married.
After being rejected, she returned to the city and married someone else.
Shao Jinglin didn't know what he was angry about. Seven years had passed and they had long disappeared from each other's lives. There was nothing wrong with Su Yu marrying someone else, it was even very normal.
Only he, holding on to ridiculous hopes, remains single until now.
The moment of soft-heartedness in the box just now seemed like a joke.
Why should he feel sorry for someone else's wife?
Shao Jinglin walked away without looking back, while Su Yu was still humbled and apologizing to the foreman behind him.
It turns out that she also has such a humble attitude.
Shao Jinglin pulled the corners of his mouth coldly and forced his previous memories deep into his mind.
From now on, he will no longer have the slightest attachment or softness towards Su Yu.
Just be a stranger.
…
The foreman was annoyed by the nagging and felt sorry for her, so he showed her a way out.
"If you want to avoid being fired, there are ways."
"Go and ask the gentleman in the box. As long as he forgives you and has mercy on you and says a word for you, you can stay."
