Chapter 1310: Chapter 1311: The Slap in the Face Comes Too Fast Like a Tornado
"My darling told me a few days ago that the people below were not capable enough, and I actually spoke up for you, Manager. I said you were sensible, perceptive, good at dealing with people, and strong in business ability. But when it came to a minor issue, you couldn’t handle it, and even asked me to change my seat. I’m so disappointed in you!"
A blatant threat!
The manager’s forehead began sweating even more profusely. He didn’t like Yan Hong’s haughty demeanor, but what could he do when she’s the boss’s mistress? He was just a lobby manager and couldn’t afford to offend her!
After weighing the pros and cons, he resignedly approached Rong Yan, looking somewhat embarrassed and with difficulty started to speak, "Uh, miss, would you mind changing your seat? I’m terribly sorry about today; as compensation, your meal will be on the house, and we will arrange a private room for you. What do you think?"
Xia Xue then sneeringly said, "Why should she get a free meal? There’s no such thing as eating without paying. Rong Yan may be down on her luck, but she’s still got money for meals, no need for charity."
One overbearing, the other saccharine, Rong Yan felt nauseated watching their commotion, nearly vomiting the food she had eaten.
A decent meal turned into one where she had lost her appetite. She wiped her mouth, and with an apologetic tone, said to Jiang Chenyue, "Mrs. Jiang, this place is swarming with flies, buzzing around us non-stop. Let’s go eat somewhere else."
"You!" Xia Xue’s face turned green with anger.
Jiang Chenyue looked up at her and saw guilt in her clear eyes, making her heart inexplicably squeeze. She pursed her lips and suddenly asked the manager who was apologizing to them, "Who is your boss?"
"Eh?"
"Why do you want to know their name? Do you think you’ll recognize them?"
Jiang Chenyue never bothered with lowlifes; to her, such small fry could be squashed with the flick of a finger. She emotionlessly pulled out her phone, her ageless face bearing a dignified and luxurious presence, surrounded by an aura of nobility. She made a call in front of Yan Hong and Xia Xue.
Soon, Yan Hong’s phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, she hesitated, looking suspiciously at Jiang Chenyue, as if doubting that the call had something to do with her. Nevertheless, she didn’t dare to delay and stepped aside to answer the call.
"Hello."
Before she could sweetly utter one word, a barrage of curses came from the other end – harsh and foul. Even her parents were dragged into the insults.
She listened to the angry tirade, not even clear on why she was being scolded, nor daring to offend the man on the phone, she endured the humiliation, not daring to utter a word in defense until he finished venting.
The person on the other side scolded her for a whole five minutes before gradually stopping, his tone extremely displeased as he berated her, "Don’t you dare cause a scene in the store again and embarrass me. Rush back here now! Seeing as you’ve been with me for some years, I’ll let it slide this time. But if I find out you’re bullying others with your influence again, don’t bother coming back to me! If you want to court death, that’s your problem – don’t drag me down with you. Got it? After you hang up, better apologize to them properly, or this matter won’t be over. I’ll settle the score with you later!"
Yan Hong felt near blackout from the scolding, biting her tongue until it hurt as she asked, "Who are they? Could they be Li..."
"Will you shut up! You dare to mess with someone whose background you’re clueless about. It wasn’t Li Shengxiao who called me, but if you provoke Li Shengxiao, I’m telling you, no matter how many years you’ve been with me, I’ll kick you to the curb! You’re just a fool who causes trouble!"
