Chapter 93: Chapter 92: It’s Your Prejudice That Runs Deep

"Miss Su?" Xu Ze said, "Miss Su... is very beautiful...."

Xu Ze didn’t have a very good impression of Su Mengshu, but he was just an administrative assistant and had no right to inquire about these matters.

Su Mengshu was arrogant, ostentatious, and materialistic, entirely lacking the gentleness, kindness, and ladylike demeanor she projected in front of Fu Tingzhou. These were merely a facade.

"And what about Tang Xi, what do you think of her?"

"Miss Tang, she’s gentle yet resilient, a very pure and kind-hearted girl."

Fu Tingzhou faintly lifted his gaze, "It seems you hold a very high opinion of Tang Xi."

Xu Ze immediately bowed his head, feeling a chill down his spine, yet he still said, "President Fu... perhaps, your prejudice against Miss Tang Xi is too deep..."

Xu Ze mustered his courage, "Miss Tang is also highly respected in the hospital, almost every patient she has handled speaks nothing but praise for her. She... is a very kind and optimistic person."

"Just because she gave you a bottle of water, you have such a deep impression of her." The man’s dark eyes flashed a hint of cold light, his voice neither heavy nor steady.

Xu Ze’s head hung even lower.

The atmosphere around turned tense and cold.

His heart raced fast, and only after hearing ’get out’ did Xu Ze breathe a sigh of relief and walked out.

As soon as he walked out, a female secretary Song Lei approached, "Assistant Xu, your suit has arrived." She noticed the cold sweat on Xu Ze’s forehead, "Assistant Xu, what’s wrong, when President Fu came in today, he looked... he didn’t seem to know where he spent the night, he came in with the same clothes, his hairstyle also undid."

"Song Lei, don’t ask about things that are none of your business. Matters concerning Mr. Fu are not for you and me to pry into!"

"Yes!"

Song Lei stuck out her tongue, "I’m just curious, and... Assistant Xu, don’t you know? Aren’t you President Fu’s personal assistant... Is there anything you don’t know about? President Fu’s car tires are all muddy, it rained last night, but where could there be muddy roads in our city district? He probably went off to some remote places...."

Tang Xi received a call from Liang Yuezhen while at work.

Liang Yuezhen said that Xiao Mi had been discharged from the hospital and asked her not to worry.

Just as she hung up the call from Liang Yuezhen, another call came in on her phone.

It was from Sister Xu, the coordinator of her part-time job, "Little Tang, are you free tonight? Nanshan Tang needs a few waitstaff, they request attractive ones, work for five hours, from seven in the evening until midnight, a hundred bucks per hour, that’s quite high, I thought of you immediately."

Tang Xi slightly furrowed her brow and hesitated for two seconds before agreeing.

In the evening, she finished work at five-thirty, returned home, changed into a different outfit, and went to Nanshan Tang.

She picked up her uniform, signed in, and entered the changing room.

There were quite a few girls coming to work part-time today.

"I heard there’s a rich heiress’s birthday party tonight, they’ve booked the top-level luxury suite on the top floor, a presidential suite of over 300 square meters, and they’ve been decorating it for half a month. Just the birthday cake alone is said to be worth 880,000 yuan."

"Tsk, tsk, that’s really extravagant."

"It seems that those famous rich young masters from North City are coming back too... I wonder if we could see Young Master An here..."

"You guys already have targets in mind, huh? I’m not greedy, as long as Young Master Song gives me a glance, I’m good."

"What dreams are you having? How could these rich young masters ever take a liking to us, mere waitstaff?" The speaker was a young girl with a delicate appearance and glasses, with a face that seemed to fit the stereotype of a scholastic achiever.

"Hmph, if you’re not here to hook up with guys, what are you doing here? Oh, really slumming it as a waitress... Who would believe that..."

As the woman spoke, she took out a cushion foundation from her bag to touch up her makeup.

After finishing her makeup, she walked over to the managing manager and stuffed a 200 yuan red envelope into his hand, "Manager Zhang, I’m going to the president’s private room, you’d better arrange things properly for me."

"Okay, okay, no problem," the managing manager said as he called out several names, "These six go to the top floor, you have to be sharp. We can’t screw up Miss Qiao’s birthday banquet. One mistake, and don’t even talk about docking today’s pay, one month’s salary wouldn’t cover it!"

There were eight part-time waitresses in total, leaving two for the regular private rooms.

Tang Xi nodded her head, ready to leave.

The studious-looking girl said, "I’m not going to the president’s room, I’ll take a regular one."

She scoffed at the thought of engaging in those gold-digging antics.

Manager Zhang didn’t make it difficult, pointing at Tang Xi, "Then you switch with her, you go to the president’s room."

The woman who was touching up her makeup glanced at Tang Xi’s bare face and didn’t take her seriously.

Tang Xi followed a group of people to the top floor.

A girl gently tugged on Tang Xi’s arm, "My name is Yuan Yuan, it’s my first time working part-time here, how about you?"

Yuan Yuan didn’t look like someone who was short of money, Tang Xi thought, she’s probably just curious.

"Me? I’ve been doing this for a while," Tang Xi replied.

Yuan Yuan said, "I want to get a new laptop, but my parents won’t agree, so I have to figure it out myself." She leaned closer to Tang Xi, seeming to find Tang Xi quiet and gentle, not threatening, and thus started chatting with her, "I heard that You Lili, she comes from a wealthy family, I think her father is in real estate. She comes here to mingle with those high-society guys, you know, being rich and being top-tier rich is not the same thing."

Looking at Tang Xi’s calm features, Yuan Yuan said, "You don’t seem interested in this stuff."

Tang Xi’s voice was calm as a lake, "Why should I be interested? I’m only interested in the money in my wallet."

The gilded and heavy double doors opened.

A head waitress led them in to get settled. It was still early, around 5:50 PM. By just past six o’clock, the high-society men and ladies started to walk in. Tang Xi saw Qiao Jing wearing a diamond tiara, looking every bit the princess.

She lightly furrowed her brows. Was it Qiao Jing’s birthday today?

This Qiao Jing, she didn’t know her, but she was aware of her... because she had seen her when she attended an auction dinner with Cheng Yunlang.

It was Qiao Jing’s birthday.

Would Cheng Yunlang attend?

Tang Xi’s brow furrowed further; at this moment, she wanted to leave, not to avoid anything, but because she didn’t want any extra trouble.

She intended to tell the head waitress to switch someone else in.

But she was stopped by Qiao Jing, "Tang Xi, you’re here too, what a coincidence."

Qiao Jing, dressed in a luxurious white gown, walked over gracefully, her lips curved into a smile, "But I remember I didn’t invite you..."

As she spoke, she covered her mouth, gazing at the waitress uniform on Tang Xi, "Ah, you’re working here as a waitress? I thought you worked at the hospital? How come you’re waitressing here... tsk, did you do something wrong and got fired?"

As she said this, the few girls beside her laughed along loudly.

Tang Xi’s expression remained calm and indifferent, not showing any emotion at the ridicule, and gave a slight, respectful bow, "It’s just a part-time job, does Miss Qiao need something?"
