"Hey? Xiaojie, I'm at the entrance. Where are you?" Ji Shushu had just gotten out of the car and was standing at the entrance of Landi. She took out her phone and called her friend.
I ran into an old classmate I hadn't seen in a long time on the street today. I learned that she's now a manager at Landi and even invited Ji Shushu over for drinks and food.
Ji Shushu originally wanted to invite Bai Xiaoruo to come along, but she couldn't get through to her on the phone today. Not wanting to miss this opportunity, she simply came by herself first and would invite Xiaoruo next time.
"Then I'll go straight in... This is my first time in a place like this, so you'll have to look after me." Ji Shushu hung up the phone and skipped inside.
The heating was on inside, and Ji Shushu took off her coat and put it in the locker.
Upon entering the store, you'll see a wall covered with keys. You can take any key you like to open the locker door. Guests only need to keep their keys safe. Beverages, food, or personal items can be stored in the locker.
When I met my friend Xiaojie, she was carrying three bottles of expensive red wine and was rushing to deliver them to other private rooms.
"Hi, Shushu, you're here. I'll go deliver some drinks to the guests first. You can sit at the bar for a while, and I'll treat you to something to eat later."
"Hmm! But... as a manager, shouldn't you just sit there with your legs crossed, drinking tea and that's it? Why do you have to personally serve the wine?"
"Sigh, if only it were as free as you say. We have quite a few VIP guests tonight, so we have to be careful to serve them well. Many of our waiters are new, and we're afraid they might be clumsy and upset the VIPs, so I'll have to deliver them myself."
"So cautious, huh? What kind of guest is so important... I'm going to have a feast tonight, maybe I'll eat you out of house and home."
"Don't worry, my wallet's got plenty of room, eat as much as you want. Oh, by the way, didn't you say you were bringing a friend? Where's your friend?"
"Oh, I don't know what she's been up to today. I can't get through on the phone. Maybe next time. I'll come and try your food for her first, and then I'll invite her next time. Hurry up and deliver the bar, don't delay. I'll wait for you over there."
"Okay..." Xiaojie was about to walk forward when her stomach suddenly started rumbling and she almost couldn't stand up straight. "Ouch, Shushu, my stomach suddenly hurts. Can you help me find a waiter nearby? I might need to go to the toilet first."
"Huh? I, let me see..." Ji Shushu looked around. The business at Landi was extremely lively tonight. Every table was full of customers, and the waiters were busy pouring drinks and serving food. They seemed to have no time to spare.
Ji Shushu thought for a moment and then took the tray from Xiao Jie. "I'll deliver this wine for you. You go to the restroom and tell me which private room it is. I'll come to the bar to find you after I deliver the wine."
"This, this is so embarrassing. You don't have much experience either, what if..."
"Oh, never mind that. It's just delivering some drinks. It's not like I'm supposed to dance and sing there. I'll be right back after I deliver the drinks. I don't need any experience. Which private room is it in?"
"It's 412. Go straight from there, it's the second room on the left. Shushu, you must speak to the guests in a nice tone. The guests in 412 are all important people we can't afford to offend."
"Oh, so there's someone I, Ji Shushu, can't afford to offend? Hmph, I'll really have to go check that out. You go to the restroom, I'm going to deliver the drinks first~"

Gu Yao directly hit Xian Mingyu's sore spot.
Xuan Mingyu suddenly stood up, staring directly at Gu Yao in front of him. His other friends immediately stepped in front of them to block their way.
"Alright, alright, let's drink. We're all friends, no need to make things so tense."
This was the first time that Xian Mingyu had clashed with Gu Yao.
Over the years, they have maintained a very good relationship. When Xian Mingyu first returned to China and founded Qingxian Group, he was just a greenhorn. When Gu Yao received Xian Mingyu's call, he immediately quit his job and returned to L City to help him and become his assistant.
They've been helping each other for years, without complaint or regret.
Now, Gu Yao is actually taking Bai Xiaoruo's side and speaking on her behalf to teach him a lesson.
This struck Hsien Ming-yu as ironic and laughable.
"Gu Yao, what is your relationship with Bai Xiaoruo?"
"Mingyu, what's wrong with you? What could possibly be between us? Can you stop being so paranoid? Was what I said wrong? Su Yuluo has been gone for so long, why can't you let her go and treat the people around you well!"
"Shut up!"
If it weren't for so many people stopping him, Xuan Mingyu would have definitely given Gu Yao a good punch while drunk. His woman is none of anyone else's business to pity her!
"Do you even know what kind of person that woman is? You feel sorry for her, you feel wronged for her. If I divorce her, are you still waiting to take her over?!"
"Xian Mingyu, is that human language? She's a person, not an object. Even if you don't love her, you don't need to insult her like this. Insult me instead!"
Gu Yao was also enraged by Xuan Mingyu's words; he never expected Xuan Mingyu to turn out this way.
Even if he loathed Bai Xiaoruo, he didn't need to say such things to humiliate her in front of so many people. If she were there, how heartbroken and pained she would be.
"Knock knock knock—"
Excuse me, may I bother you?
