Chapter 1075: Chapter 1076: Take Off Your Clothes Now

Qi Lanqin is a girl with a lot of self-respect. Last time, when Song Xiaodong gave her such a large sum of money, she didn’t accept it. Then Song Xiaodong said he would support her to complete her studies in the future. Although she didn’t verbally refuse, she still didn’t contact Song Xiaodong.

The hardships of her childhood life cultivated her independent personality. She has always believed that as long as she has hands and feet, and with her own efforts, she will not fail to earn money.

After leaving that restaurant, she found another job as a bar waitress.

She still had to study during the day, so finding a full-time job was definitely not feasible, hence this kind of night job suited her better.

To avoid being harassed, she deliberately dressed herself up to look ugly, drawing a few moles on her face and wearing a pair of non-prescription glasses to make herself less noticeable.

Work was quite smooth the first few days, delivering drinks to guests every night. Although it was a bit tiring, the income was decent. At least for her, it was quite good.

Today, she was busy again like in previous days, delivering drinks and such to guests at each table.

“Ah!” Qi Lanqin stumbled over something under her foot and involuntarily let out a light cry. Her body lunged forward, and the tray in her hand was directly flung out, with a drink also flying out with it.

“Ah!” There were two more exclamations. The tray hit a man, and the drink splashed onto a heavily made-up young woman.

The woman jumped up, shaking the drink off her body while glaring and screaming, “Are you blind? Don’t you watch where you’re going?”

Qi Lanqin steadied herself by holding onto a table. Seeing the situation, she couldn’t care less about the woman scolding her and hurriedly stepped forward, anxiously saying, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry, I’ll help you clean it up.”

“Get your filthy hands off!” The woman swatted Qi Lanqin’s hand away, furiously yelling, “You idiot, this is my new outfit, and you’ve spilled drinks all over it.”

The more the woman spoke, the angrier she got. Then she raised her hand and gave Qi Lanqin a slap, making a “smack” sound.

Qi Lanqin was immediately stunned by the hit, her glasses knocked off. She covered her face, but she didn’t cry. She bit her lip and said, “I’m sorry, I can have your clothes washed.”

“Washed?” The woman glared at Qi Lanqin again, saying, “These clothes are all soaked in drinks, even if you wash them, can I still wear them?”

Qi Lanqin said: “Then…what should we do?”

“Compensate! You have to compensate me!” the woman replied without hesitation.

Qi Lanqin’s mouth twitched, and she said, “Alright, alright, I’ll compensate you.”

“You say compensate and you compensate? Are you rich? Do you know how much my outfit costs? Over eight thousand. As a waitress here, you can’t afford it even with a month’s salary. How will you compensate?”

“What? That much?” Qi Lanqin was immediately flustered. An outfit worth over eight thousand was beyond her imagination. She rarely bought clothes, and even when she did, they were very cheap, never exceeding two hundred for an entire set.

“Little Jade, don’t make things difficult for a waitress; she doesn’t have that much money. I’ll buy you another one.” A man in his thirties laughed and embraced the woman.

“Brother Liang, you said it, you can’t cheat me.” The woman immediately clung to the man’s neck, speaking in a coquettish voice.

“Of course, when have I ever cheated you? Hey, this waitress is pretty after all.”

Without her glasses, most of Qi Lanqin’s real appearance was revealed. Even with the moles deliberately drawn on her face, she still looked quite pretty.

“Brother Liang, what are you doing?” The woman twisted in the man’s arms, pouting coquettishly.

“Well, look, your outfit is all stained with drinks, it’s not nice to wear. I enjoy role plays, so let the waitress exchange her clothes for yours.”

“Huh? Wouldn’t that be too advantageous for her?” The girl pouted dissatisfiedly.

Brother Liang patted her ass and then looked at Qi Lanqin, saying, “You have no objections to my proposal, right?”

Qi Lanqin felt that with this way of compensating, she would clearly be getting a good deal. She could just spend some more money to buy another bar uniform. She quickly nodded and said, “Alright, alright, thank you, big brother.”

“Mm, I’m just this righteous. Alright, you two hurry up and change.”

“Okay, miss, please come with me.” Qi Lanqin hurriedly said.

“Wait a minute.” Brother Liang waved his hand and said, “I said to change here.”

“What?” Qi Lanqin was instantly dumbfounded.

And the woman, along with her other companions, quickly understood what Brother Liang meant, and they all burst into laughter, jeering and heckling.

“Yeah, just change here.”

“Your uniform doesn’t cost two hundred, but it can be exchanged for an outfit worth over eight thousand. It’s a great bargain.”

“Exactly, even if Little Jade’s clothes are stained with drinks, once it’s washed, it’s still worth over eight thousand. Little sister, you’ve never worn such expensive clothes in your life. This is a great opportunity.”

Qi Lanqin then realized what they intended to do, and she felt an incredible sense of humiliation. She clenched her fists and shook her head vigorously, saying, “I won’t change!”

Brother Liang’s face turned sullen, saying, “You won’t change? You’d better think about it, if you don’t change, you’ll have to pay for the outfit.”

Qi Lanqin’s face suddenly turned very ugly. She didn’t have that much money, not to mention over eight thousand, she couldn’t even bring out a thousand.

At this point, a manager-looking person walked over. Qi Lanqin immediately saw a glimmer of hope, but when the manager came over, he wore a smiling face and said to Brother Liang, “Brother Liang, we’ve been so busy that I couldn’t greet you earlier. This waitress is new and doesn’t know the rules. If there is anything she did wrong, please bear with her. I’ll get you more drinks in a moment.”

Brother Liang let out a cold laugh and said, “Bear with her? Hmph, it’s very simple. I just want her to take off her uniform right here and give it to my girlfriend. A uniform in exchange for our girlfriend’s outfit worth more than eight thousand. Do you think that’s not enough leniency?”

“This…” The manager suddenly felt troubled.

“You decide for yourselves, either compensate or have her change here.” Brother Liang kicked back in his chair, swirling a glass of wine with a look of assured victory.

The manager hesitated for a moment, then finally, with a bitter look, said to Qi Lanqin, “Xiao Qi, you’d better change.”
