Chen Qingqing was very happy when she learned that she didn't have to wash dishes anymore and could work as a waiter in a private room.
At least as a waiter in a private room, you can only help the guests pour wine after the dishes are served, and you can rest the rest of the time.
It's still much better than washing dishes endlessly in the back.
But when she walked into the box and saw the people sitting inside, the expression on her face changed instantly.
I saw Xia Tian, Qiu Mengyun and He Yunting sitting there with Mr. Zhang and others, chatting and laughing.
Looking at the countless delicacies on the table, and then at the various types of high-end liquors, she suddenly felt unbalanced.
Why?
We are all here to participate in the show, so why can they eat and drink as much as they want in a five-star hotel, while I can only be a waiter standing by and serving tea and water?
"A new waiter, right? What are you still standing there for? Come over here and pour our brother Xia some wine!"
Just as Chen Qingqing was in a daze, an old man who was called by Mr. Zhang to drink with Xia Tian shouted at her.
"Yes sir, I'll be right over."
Although she was very unwilling in her heart, she had to bow her head under the eaves at this moment, so Chen Qingqing still walked over honestly and filled everyone's glasses.
"Xia Tian, Meng Yun, you can just eat by yourselves. There's no need to invite me. It's mealtime now, and I'm worried that other colleagues might have a problem with me."
As soon as he entered the door, Xie Jinglong said with a guilty look on his face.
Hearing his words, Qiu Mengyun smiled and said, "Do you think we care about calling you? It's because your Yunting loves you that she insisted on asking me to call you over."
"Oh! Mengyun, what nonsense are you talking about, little girl?"
After being teased by Qiu Mengyun, He Yunting said coquettishly and embarrassedly.
Chef Liu, who came with Xie Jinglong, laughed heartily and said, "Haha! Just enjoy your meal, kid. Don't worry about anything else. Our Yuanzun Hotel has such a big kitchen that it can operate normally even without you, not to mention me."
Mr. Zhang also greeted with a smile, "Chef Liu is right. There's no rush to work right now. It's rare for Brother Xia to visit our hotel. Since you're his friend, of course you should come along and keep him company."
"Don't worry, I'll treat your meal here as a business dinner. Not only won't your salary be deducted, I'll even give you a bonus at the end of the month."
Xie Jinglong quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang."
After he and Chef Liu sat down, Chen Qingqing, the waiter, had to step forward again and fill the wine glasses in front of them with wine.
"Thanks!"
Xie Jinglong was just being polite at first, but when he looked up, he was surprised to find that the waiter was actually Chen Qingqing.
He asked in surprise, "Qingqing, why are you here? Did you interview for the waiter job here?"
Chen Qingqing nodded awkwardly: "Yeah! I guess so!"
Xie Jinglong was not present at the lunchtime event and thought she had come for the interview on her own.
"That's quite a coincidence. Yunting and I also work at this hotel. I'm a chef in the kitchen, and Yunting is more capable than me and works as a manager at the front desk. If you have any problems in the future, you can go to Yunting and ask her to take care of you."
Chen Qingqing couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Haha, go find her? She was the one who assigned me the dishwashing job this afternoon. I only went to find her because I was bored."
Although she was very dissatisfied, she still politely replied in front of so many people: "I understand."
Seeing that Chen Qingqing didn't talk much, Xie Jinglong thought that she was busy with work and was too embarrassed to talk more.
He immediately said in a familiar manner, "Are you here looking for a job with Wenxuan? I saw Wenxuan in the kitchen this afternoon."
"Honestly, I never thought you two were so hardworking. Not only are you working as a waiter here, but Wenxuan even applied to work in our kitchen. You know, that's the dirtiest and most tiring job in the kitchen. You really can't judge a person by his appearance!"
Hearing Xie Jinglong's praise, Chen Qingqing felt a burning sensation on her face.
Bullshit about hard work and perseverance, go to hell!
If it weren't for that idiot Fang Wenxuan, who had no money but had to imitate others to show off and bring himself to eat a free meal here. If it weren't for the summer when people were cheated to death without compensation, they would not be willing to come here to do odd jobs, and for free.
"Brother Long, you are too kind. We are just forced by the situation." This sounded like a self-deprecating remark, but people who knew the inside story understood that she was telling the truth.
By chance, the three groups of guests all came to Yuanzun Hotel and met each other.
This was something Xie Jinglong hadn't expected. He said excitedly, "It's so rare for us to be so lucky to meet here."
"I think the dishes are almost served, and there's nothing else to do next. Why don't you come and eat with us, and call Wenxuan by the way."
Chen Qingqing, who had been ignoring Xie Jinglong's talk, suddenly brightened up after hearing his words.
Woohoo! Good man, this Xie Jinglong is really a good man. It seems that I misunderstood him before. He didn't ask that question intentionally to embarrass me, but he really didn't know.
I have been standing here eagerly for a long time, and now I finally have the chance to have dinner with them at the same table.
Although she had eaten a lot at noon, her stomach was already rumbling with hunger after a busy afternoon of work.
At this moment, Xie Jinglong's voice inviting her to dine together sounded like the sound of nature to her.
Without even a moment's hesitation, she nodded and agreed: "Yes! I don't have any..."
She originally wanted to say, there is no problem on my side.
But she was interrupted by Xia Tian just when she was halfway through her words: "Hey! Brother Long, please don't embarrass Miss Chen."
"She and Fang Wenxuan just started working today. If they leave their posts and seek special treatment on their first day, they might lose their jobs. Even if we intervene and save their jobs, they will easily be alienated and ostracized by other colleagues in the future."
Xie Jinglong wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he felt a familiar pain in the arm that was placed below him.
Now he finally understood what was going on, and he immediately said with a look of regret: "Brother Xia is right in teaching you a lesson. It was my fault for not considering it carefully."
"There will be plenty of opportunities for everyone to catch up in the future. Let's not disturb Qingqing and Wenxuan from their work today, so as not to cause them any trouble at work."
After that, they toasted each other and started chatting, completely ignoring the anxious and resentful look of Chen Qingqing, the person involved.
