Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a young man with fair skin and a gentle temperament walking towards them. Even though he walked in a hurry, he gave people a very graceful feeling.
Bai Mo walked straight to Xiao Yuanmu and stopped, and asked with some concern: "Are you okay?"
The crowd, who were originally somewhat curious about him, exchanged glances when they heard this. This well-dressed young man seemed to be here to help Xiao Yuanmu.
However, Xiao Yuanmu only glanced at him calmly, seemingly unmoved by his arrival. Even his clear voice was cold and distant: "It's okay."
Bai Mo smiled and said, "That's good." Then he turned to look at the waiter he had called over and said apologetically, "I'm very sorry that this happened. I apologize to you on behalf of my employees."
The people around were stunned when they heard this, and it took them a few seconds to realize that the person in front of them might be the person in charge of this club.
Song Jiabao didn't expect Bai Mo to come out and cause trouble at this time. He suppressed the suspicion in his eyes and said meaningfully: "Master Bai, although you are Bai Yue's young master, as a master, if you directly convict your subordinates without asking what happened, it may chill their hearts."
Bai Mo frowned slightly and said to Song Jiabao, "Mr. Song, the first thing every Baiyue worker learns before entering Baiyue is to respect customers. We always put customers first. Even if a small detail makes a customer unhappy, we must apologize. This is not only for the customer's feelings, but also for our Baiyue's customer-first philosophy. Besides, my employees did make mistakes at work, so how can I say that I am not disappointed?"
After saying that, Bai Mo stopped the waiter and said, "Now, please apologize to Mr. Xiao again, using the method I taught you during the induction training."
The waiter's lips trembled as he was watched by so many people. He carefully glanced at Xiao Yuanmu, who had an indifferent expression, and then bowed 90 degrees and said, "I'm very sorry, I accidentally spilled the wine on you. If you don't mind, please come upstairs with me to wash it. We will clean your dirty clothes and return them to you."
After hearing the waiter's formal apology, the onlookers began to react. He had indeed been apologizing just now, but he did not mention asking Xiao Yuanmu to go upstairs to change clothes. He had soiled other people's clothes and apologized empty-handedly without any sincerity. No wonder Xiao Yuanmu ignored him.
What's more, Xiao Yuanmu just didn't say anything, and he didn't say that he didn't accept the apology, but they rushed forward to talk to the waiter. Isn't this forcing him to accept it even if he doesn't want to? If someone with a rebellious personality wanted to accept the apology, he probably wouldn't accept it after being blamed like this.
Thinking of this, the way everyone looked at Xiao Yuanmu changed again. No matter who Xiao Yuanmu was, he did not make things difficult for the waiter just now. If they just kept denouncing him, they would be bullying others by relying on their numbers.
Seeing that Bai Mo changed an already established outcome with just a few words, Song Jiabao's expression changed slightly, his eyes full of annoyance.
He didn't expect that Bai Mo would be so merciless to him for Xiao Yuanmu. Not only that, he had just made the decision to let the waiter go, but now Bai Mo wanted to pursue it and asked the waiter to apologize again. Isn't this a slap in the face and making him lose face?
Just as Song Jiabao's face became more and more ugly, Xiao Yuanmu spoke up and said, "I don't accept it."
The voice was cold, the tone was flat, and even the expression did not fluctuate at all, making it difficult for everyone to doubt that they had just heard it wrong.
Chinese people have always respected the belief that harmony brings wealth, and the same applies to interactions between people. Most people believe that if one party sincerely apologizes, the other party must accept it, otherwise it would be unreasonable, sarcastic and narrow-minded.
Naturally, the people present had the same idea. They didn't expect that the person in charge of the club had personally apologized to Xiao Yuanmu, but he still acted arrogant and refused to accept it.
At this moment, the happiest person was Song Jiabao. He couldn't deal with Song Xuanhe, and Bai Mo also protected Xiao Yuanmu, but he was still acting like a spoiled child. He really thought that he was a superior young master just because he had been in the upper circle for a while. But reality always made him realize his true identity.
Only Bai Mo was as gentle as before. He pursed his lips, and two dimples appeared on his cheeks, making him look more approachable. He looked at Xiao Yuanmu with trust in his eyes and asked, "Is there anything else I don't know?"
Xiao Yuanmu's eyes softened slightly. He looked at Bai Mo, and his tone was no longer as cold as before, but his voice was as pleasant as before: "When he bumped into the female guest, his steps were steady and not at all chaotic. When he poured the wine towards me, his expression was also very calm."
Bai Mo paused, very surprised: "You mean he did it on purpose?"
Xiao Yuanmu did not answer, his expression indifferent.
Bai Mo frowned, turned to look at the waiter, and asked, "Tell me, what's going on."
The waiter shook his head quickly: "I really just didn't mean it! I don't know why this gentleman said I did it on purpose! There is no benefit in spilling the wine on him!"
Hearing this, Bai Mo looked at Xiao Yuanmu with some embarrassment. Even if he believed Xiao Yuanmu in this matter, as long as the waiter insisted that the death was not intentional, he could not punish his employees without any evidence.
Before Xiao Yuanmu could speak, another voice interrupted him: "I have evidence."
Song Xuanhe was dragged helplessly by Zhou Nan to the side of Xiao Yuanmu. As soon as he stood firm, he continued: "Just now I was sitting over there drinking, and I happened to see Song Jiabao stuffing money into the waiter's pocket. At that time I thought it was a tip, but I didn't expect it was labor fee."
As soon as Zhou Nan finished speaking, Song Jiabao raised his voice and said, "Zhou Nan, you have to provide evidence when speaking. Empty words are like slandering someone. I will not stand here and let you slander me."
"Would I stand up without evidence?" Zhou Nan curled his lips and smiled roguely: "You said that you didn't find a reliable person to do the work for you, and you didn't even find a good place with no one around to give money to. Are you too confident in yourself, or do you think others are too stupid?"
Bai Mo interrupted Song Jiabao's rebuttal and said to Zhou Nan in a gentle voice, "Mr. Zhou, if you have evidence, can you show it to me? On behalf of the club, I hope to clear Mr. Xiao's name as soon as possible."
Zhou Nan had a good impression of Bai Mo, so he didn't make it difficult. Instead, he scanned the crowd and looked at a waiter not far away: "Brother, please come over here and take out your phone to have a look."
The waiter was stunned. Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, he took two steps back in shock, his face turning pale.
Zhou Nan smiled and said, "You didn't do anything wrong. You just caught someone collecting money. Why are you so nervous? I'm lending you my phone to clear the name of your club's guests. The bosses of your club are all here. I'll definitely give you a promotion and a raise when the time comes."
Bai Mo also said after hearing this: "Yes, if you can provide evidence, the club will reward you."
The waiter felt relieved after hearing this and took out his cell phone and walked over.
Seeing this, everyone knew that Zhou Nan was not lying without even looking at the so-called evidence in the phone.
Later, the video in the waiter's phone confirmed what Zhou Nan said. The waiter took Song Jiabao's money and splashed water on Xiao Yuanmu. Moreover, their conversation could be vaguely heard in the video. Even if Song Jiabao wanted to say that it was a tip, it would not work.
The truth was already known. Under the gaze of so many people, Song Jiabao's face turned pale and blue, and finally his entire face turned the color of liver, but he could not utter a word to defend himself.
Most of the people present were future employees of Song Jiabao's company, and a small number were potential future partners and second-generation people in the circle who had some money and were invited to keep things going.
After watching such a farce of quarreling and being crushed, and being slapped in the face for a whole night, I felt that it was still a bit unsatisfied. However, after watching the show, my evaluation of Song Jiabao has been declining again and again.
Not to mention that those who had just joined the company had doubts about whether it was reliable to follow such a boss with poor character, even the company's largest shareholder, Guo Tao, had a very unhappy expression on his face.
He didn't see the whole process because he was upstairs accompanying a few big guys who were very likely to become partners in the future. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the conversation, the assistant knocked on the door and started talking about Song Jiabao.
Guo Tao was already a little annoyed because Song Jiabao wanted to embarrass Song Xuanhe without considering the occasion. Later, after listening to Song Xuanhe's hidden advice, he felt even more resentful towards Song Jiabao and just wanted to go back and investigate it thoroughly.
Unexpectedly, before the cocktail party was over, Song Jiabao caused trouble again.
He knew Song Jiabao's character, and when he heard the assistant say Zhou Nan had evidence, he hurried down to apologize to several bigwigs. Who knew that Song Jiabao was so stupid as to bribe people in public and was caught red-handed. To put it bluntly, even a pig is not as stupid as him.
Even if he didn't need what Song Xuanhe said, he didn't want to cooperate with Song Jiabao anymore. Working with such a person, problems were bound to arise sooner or later. If he kept Song Jiabao, he would never have peace in the future.
Although Song Jiabao’s investment was not much, the proportion was not small either. It was not easy to find a partner to fill the gap again.
Thinking of this, Guo Tao could only suppress his anger and dissatisfaction in his heart, and walked over to smooth things over: "Mr. Song, you are here. I was just entertaining guests upstairs, and I was planning to ask Young Master Bai to give you the wine. Now that the matter happens to be over, I am really ready to open a bottle of good wine. How about we go upstairs and have a drink together, Mr. Xiao and Mr. Zhou and Young Master Bai can also come, how about it?"
Ever since he came over, Xiao Yuanmu's eyes have been on him. Song Xuanhe didn't know what he was thinking, so he could only stand there as naturally as possible, waiting for Xiao Yuanmu to look away.
However, even if Zhou Nan produced evidence, even if Song Jiabao's face changed again and again, and even if Bai Mo apologized beside him, Xiao Yuanmu's eyes still lingered on him, making it difficult for him to move. When he heard Guo Tao's request, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Okay."
A group of five people went upstairs, and the people who stayed in the hall gradually dispersed, leaving only Song Jiabao with a pale face.
As Guo Tao's partner, Guo Tao called Song Xuan and the others up but didn't call him. Isn't this just disrespecting him in public?
However, the people upstairs didn't care about Song Jiabao's feelings. After Guo Tao sat down, he apologized to Song Xuanhe: "Mr. Song, Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry to have made you spend such an unpleasant night."
Song Xuanhe waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing.
Guo Tao breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Bai Mo, and thanked him sincerely: "Master Bai, thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you, everyone would have misunderstood Mr. Xiao, and I would have a hard time explaining to Mr. Song then." The latter part of the sentence already had a hint of intimacy and joking.
Bai Mo pursed his lips and smiled, saying, "No matter what, I am the owner of the club, you don't need to thank me, and I felt a sense of familiarity with Mr. Xiao from the moment I met him. I always felt that we should be good friends. It is normal to help a friend in trouble."
As soon as Bai Mo finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room became a little weird.
Although Bai Mo said that he regarded Xiao Yuanmu as a friend and his attitude was very open, everyone here knew that he and Song Xuanhe were a couple, so it was a bit inappropriate for him to say that.
Moreover, Song Xuanhe was obviously also at the scene, but he said that it was normal for him to go up and help when he saw it. Doesn't this imply that Song Xuanhe doesn't care about Xiao Yuanmu?
For a moment, no one spoke.
Bai Mo was slightly surprised when he saw this, and then he felt a little guilty. He looked at Xiao Yuanmu and then at Song Xuanhe: "Mr. Song, that's not what I meant just now. I said the wrong thing. I'm sorry. I don't have any other intentions towards Mr. Xiao. Please don't misunderstand me."
Song Xuanhe raised an eyebrow and was about to speak when he heard Xiao Yuanmu say calmly: "He won't misunderstand, because I don't have any other intentions towards you."
