———————————————————————————————

The female attendant wanted to say something, but ultimately she couldn’t bring herself to lose face. Her throat moved slightly, but no sound came out.

Xiao Yi didn’t care, nor did he pay attention to her; he continued to stand there, leisurely waiting for Chen Jianguo and Liu Yuan.

About five minutes passed, and then he saw Chen Jianguo and Liu Yuan hurriedly charging out of the elevator.

As soon as the two emerged from the elevator, they saw Xiao Yi standing at the entrance. Before Xiao Yi could say anything, they were both taken aback and blurted out, "Xiao Yi, why are you still standing here?"

Hearing this exclamation and seeing the two figures rushing anxiously towards the young man beside them, the female attendant’s face turned pale in an instant.

Having worked here for so long, if she couldn’t recognize the voices and faces of Director Chen Jianguo of Zhengyi Building and Jingyue Pavilion, and his secretary, Secretary Liu of Jianguo Group, then she was working for nothing.

The young man in front of her was named Xiao Yi; she had learned this much when Elder Han and his people arrived earlier.

But... who was this Xiao Yi, who looked like a beggar?

Not only did he know Elder Han, but he also knew their boss!

It seemed that the friend he was meeting was their boss, Chen Jianguo!

And she had just... stopped him, not allowing him to go inside...

Moreover, she had embarrassed him, echoing the Crown Princes like Li Ziming, although she didn’t say it directly, her expression had already been quite insulting...

Even riskier was... she almost called security to have him thrown out!

Thinking about her actions just now, her legs started to tremble, her back felt as if soaked with cold water all of a sudden, and her heart seemed to be in an ice cellar.

"Uncle Chen, you finished up so quickly?"

Xiao Yi smiled and approached them.

"Mr. Chen checked his emails and made a few calls to address the most urgent matters. That’s why we came up so soon. Young Master Xiao, why didn’t you go in and wait?"

Secretary Liu explained on behalf of Chen Jianguo and then asked, somewhat surprised. Although they hurried over, the trip had taken almost thirty minutes, and he couldn’t understand why Xiao Yi had been waiting at the door the whole time.

"No worries, it’s the same for me to wait for you guys to come up and then go in together."

Xiao Yi glanced meaningfully at the female attendant beside him, whose face had gone white and whose legs were trembling. He smiled and said.

"Xiao Yi, did this blind one stop you?"

Who was Chen Jianguo? The moment he heard Xiao Yi’s words, his expression immediately darkened, and his gaze, filled with sternness, turned towards the pale-faced waitress beside him.

Upon hearing Chen Jianguo’s loud rebuke, the already shaky waitress instantly collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Go settle your pay with Chen Fang immediately. Starting from today, you don’t need to come here to work anymore!"

Seeing the appearance of the waitress, Chen Jianguo was even more certain of his suspicions, feeling as if a fire had been ignited within him.

Who was Xiao Yi? Not only was he his benefactor from before, but he was also his own great benefactor. He had just saved his daughter yesterday and had chased out the biggest worm in the group. Chen Jianguo had just received a call and had to leave him to deal with some matters, letting him go upstairs alone, already feeling immensely guilty. And now this thoughtless person actually stopped him, didn’t allow him to enter, and made him stand foolishly at the door for over thirty minutes. How could he not feel both guilty and angry?

Everyone coming in and out through this entrance saw him foolishly waiting alone. What did that look like?

The more Chen Jianguo thought about it, the more guilt-ridden he became, wishing he could slap himself several times. He had asked the man to come, yet he made him stand at the entrance like an animal on display... Wasn’t this a humiliation to him?

"Young Master Xiao, I am really sorry, I really didn’t expect..."

Chen Jianguo turned his head with a face full of remorse, looking at Xiao Yi, and was already at a loss for words.

"Young Master Xiao, I’m really sorry. It’s mainly because my work wasn’t thorough enough. I’m truly damnable for forgetting to call ahead and notify these people," said Secretary Liu.

Seeing Chen Jianguo’s self-reproaching behavior, Liu Yuan also felt a wave of guilt, repeatedly apologizing to Xiao Yi, and was about to slap himself as he spoke.

"Ah, Uncle Chen, Secretary Liu, what are you doing? It’s all waiting, no matter where. Waiting outside for you to go in together, that’s pretty good too. As for this waitress, don’t blame her either; she was just following your rules. I was indeed a little rude, and besides, I haven’t even given her your names," Xiao Yi said, grabbing Liu Yuan’s hand and casting a sympathetic glance at the pale waitress while smiling.

Although the waitress did somewhat look down on others, she was still not quite the same as that security guard from Azure Waterfront. At least at the beginning, she knew to conceal her true thoughts and maintained basic etiquette, even including a respectful "you" in her speech. Therefore, Xiao Yi didn’t plan to drive her to a dead end like he had with the security guard last time. He intended to give her a way out, believing that after this lesson, she would surely remember it in the future.

"Since Young Master Xiao has spoken, let’s leave it at that, and you should be quick to thank Young Master Xiao!" Chen Jianguo said, gazing sternly.

Originally, according to Chen Jianguo’s intentions, he would definitely not use this waitress anymore. Jingyue Pavilion was no ordinary restaurant, and for waitresses like her, if he posted a job advertisement, in a minute, numerous well-qualified girls would compete for the position.

But seeing that Xiao Yi had already decided to let her off, he didn’t want to brush off his face, so he gave her a stern look.

"Yes, yes, thank you, thank you, Xiao... Young Master Xiao, thank you, Young Master Xiao!" The girl, upon hearing Chen Jianguo’s words, stood up as if granted amnesty, repeatedly bowing deeply towards Xiao Yi, her eyes filled with gratitude.

She now fully understood that the young man before her was not someone ordinary; even her own boss seemed to be extremely respectful towards him. As for her own behavior of judging people based on their appearances, she regretted it so much that her guts were almost green with remorse.

For Xiao Yi, she felt an immense sense of gratitude. She knew how much effort she had put in, how many hoops she had jumped through, to describe it as overcoming numerous obstacles would not be an exaggeration to secure this position. And when she heard Chen Jianguo’s words just now, she knew she was about to lose this job, and she had even thought about suicide.

This position not only had an extremely high salary, excellent working conditions, and benefits, but also, working here, she could receive a good amount in tips every day. How many people outside were vying for such a good job? Moreover, here, she had a great chance to meet many upper-class people, and there was a good chance to hook those lavish wealthy spouses.
