Chapter 29: Weakness is useless

  "Xǐ ěr, nǐ hǎo tiē xīn ō!"

  Translation: "Xi'er, you're so considerate!"

  "Guo thought to herself that she must thoroughly deal with Duan Ruiqi. After some thought, she said: 'How about we go eat on a luxury yacht?'"

  "No problem, I'll go there to eat to show my sincerity." Duan Ruiqi didn't care at all, thinking that An Qier always brought her different surprises.

  Qiao Jiaxi has already figured out that the relationship between these three people is not ordinary. After all, Duan is the biggest boss of the parent company, and he himself is just a small employee, how can he follow along? Moreover, he heard that the buffet on the luxury yacht costs 1,800 yuan per person, so he shouldn't go anyway. Qiao Jiaxi said uncomfortably: "Sorry, you guys chat, I'll head back to the company for work."

  "You're mainly here on a business trip today, what company are you from? It's rare for the big boss to be willing to take a loss, why not hurry up and go with us to have a good time eating and drinking?" Guo Zhēnzhēn also had a bit of selfishness in her mind, hoping to use this opportunity to ask Qiao Jiāxǐ to design clothes for herself.

  "Wait, I'd better not. I still have some design drawings that aren't done yet." Although Qiao Jiaxi's heart was moved by the delicious food on the luxury yacht, he knew that as a lowly office worker, it wasn't right for him to take advantage of such a privilege.

  An Qi'er could understand Qiao Jia-yi's inferiority, but she also hoped that Qiao Jia-yi would go with her, so she coldly said: "Qiao Jia-yi, if you don't go, then I won't go either."

  "Don't be like that, let's all go together and not waste the boss's kindness" Guo Zhēnzhēn pulled down Duàn Ruìqí's arm and said coquettishly: "Am I right, boss?"

  "What's wrong, can't the big boss's words be obeyed? Don't forget, you two are also employees of Rui En, which employee doesn't give their boss face?" Duan Ruiqi said with feigned anger.

  "Alright, let's all go together, that's final. Tonight we'll have a hearty meal." An Qi'er pulled on Qiao Jiaxi's hand, and Qiao Jiaxi looked at Duan Ruiqi with gratitude.

  "Wow, the decoration here is really luxurious! It's indeed worthy of being called a luxury yacht!" Qiao Jiaxi looked like Liu Xianglian entering the Grand View Garden, full of admiration. The waitress who led them to their seats heard this and covered her mouth to stifle a giggle.

  Qiao Jiaxi lowered his head in shame, and An Qier saw that the waitress was somewhat dissatisfied with her gaze. The waitress thought she was also a noble member of this luxurious restaurant, having seen many wealthy women come here dressed in gold and jade. She looked down on An Qier and Qiao Jiaxi's ordinary clothes and pointed to the two seats by the door without any courtesy, saying: "This is where you sit."

  "Wait a minute!" An Qi'er called out to the waitress who was about to walk away, pointing at the cramped-looking seat and saying discontentedly: "There are four of us coming, you have to give us a different table right now."

  "Sorry, all seats are taken, only this seat is left," the waitress replied with an air of arrogance.

  "What's that?" An Qi'er pointed at a nearby empty space

  The waitress glanced at An Qi'er with disdain and said, "Those are already booked by other customers."

  "What's going on?" Du Ruiqi and Guo Zhentan, who had just rushed over after parking the car, saw that An Qi'er and Qiao Jiaxi were being bullied.

  Duan Ruiqi's extraordinary and noble image made the originally dismissive waitress eager to hug him, her face immediately breaking into a bright smile as she fawned: "Mr. Duan, it's been a long time since you've come! I'll go prepare your private VIP seat right away!"

  The waitress was about to go and prepare, but An Qi'er coldly snorted: "Just now you said there wasn't any, now you say there is. The service quality of this restaurant is so poor, let's change to another one to eat."

  The manager saw Duan Ruiqi and his party from a distance, and as he walked closer to greet them, he heard An Qi's evaluation and asked with some concern: "Miss, hello, I'm the manager here. If you have any comments about this place, please let me know in time so that I can correct it in time."

  "Give up, Qi'er, just forget it." The honest and simple Jiao family's Ji was unable to bear this scene.

  "Hey, who bullied you?" Du Ruiqi's gaze stared at the already tense and sweating waitress.

  An Qi'er suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation and the waitress sneered, "Now you see that we have four people, so how do you plan to turn this two-seater into a four-seater?"

  The manager looked in the direction that An Qi'er was pointing and saw the two chairs at the entrance, which were seats for guests to wait. He already understood An Qi'er's dissatisfaction, especially since this was a friend brought by Duan Ruiqi. He walked up to the service lady and said coldly, "Hurry up and apologize to the guest."

  The waitress, pale with fear, bowed repeatedly to An Qi'er and Qiao Jiaxi, apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for not recognizing a great person. Please forgive my ignorance." She didn't want to lose this good job where she could receive generous tips.

  An Qi'er had no mood to argue with the waitress anymore, "I'm hungry, we're human beings, not just living on air"

  "Director Du, please rest assured, I will definitely give you an explanation." The manager turned to the service lady who thought nothing was wrong and said, "From tomorrow on, you don't have to come here to work anymore. Hurry back and pack your luggage, leave."

  "Ah" The waitress was so scared that her face turned pale, crying and grabbing the manager's hand, begging: "Manager, I'm going to compete for the team leader position next month. I've worked here for so many years, please don't fire me!"

  An Qi'er's heart softened again, she walked over to plead: "It was just that she didn't learn etiquette well, and it wasn't worth expelling her for such a big crime."

  The waitress saw An Qi'er approaching her and turned to apologize: "Sorry miss, I was wrong, it's my fault for underestimating you, I won't dare again in the future"

  "Alright, we're here to eat, don't make the atmosphere so awkward, how can we have an appetite?" Duanyuqi couldn't stand the surrounding gazes.

  "Awesome, Qi Er! You just scared that waiter half to death!" Qiao Jia Xi now regards An Qi Er as her idol.

  "I just couldn't bear to see her with that dog-like expression, and I didn't want her to be severely punished." An Qi'er looked at Duan Ruiqi with a hint of meaning and said: "If you want to thank someone, it should be Director Duan. You all saw that the manager and waiter were completely giving face to Director Duan."

  "Hey Qi, I think you're particularly sensitive about this kind of thing. Is it because you've been treated like that before?" Duan Ruiqi expressed her curiosity very directly.

  An Qi'er frankly said: "Indeed, there was once when I received a relatively large bonus, so I took my family to a well-known restaurant for dinner to celebrate. However, the waiter at that home also had an attitude like the one just now, which made me very uncomfortable. So, in my heart, I secretly vowed to make myself excellent and not be bullied by others. When I went there again, the manager of that home recognized me, but I still asked for that waiter's service. That waiter couldn't recognize me and thought I was rich, so he served me enthusiastically, but in the end, he only got a small tip of one dollar from me."

  "Haha, one yuan, that waiter's face must have turned green with anger!" Guo Zhēnzhēn really admired An Qǐ'ěr's fiery personality of seeking revenge when wronged.

  "Qǐ ér, you've also suffered a lot." Qiao Jiaxi decided in her heart to learn from An Qǐ'er.

  Duanyuqi's eyes were filled with a hint of pity, which made An Qi'er look away in embarrassment, thinking that she must have thought too much.

  "Really, it's just as well you're going my way, I'll ride with you." An Qi'er could tell that Duan Ruiqi wanted to drive her home, but she quickly got into Guo Zhenzhen's car instead.

  Duan Ruiqi glared at Guo Zhentian with a resentful expression, while Guo Zhentian thought to herself that next time she would rather not drive when coming to find Duan Ruiqi. Duan Ruiqi then turned to Qiao Jiaxi who was standing beside her, looking embarrassed, and said: "Where is your home? I'll send you back."

  Qiao Jiaxi's face turned red with surprise, but she still politely said: "It's better not to, Director Duan, I can take a taxi back myself."

  "I have a ready car, how can I not send the lady, it's also too impolite to come up. Get in the car" Duanyuqi politely invited Bu Rongqiao to be unable to refuse.

  Watching Qiao Jia get into Duanyuqi's car with a happy smile, An Qi'er felt a sour feeling in her heart. Guo Zhēnzhēn still looked very wronged and said: "You should be driving for Ruiqi, delaying my development with Jiahui."

  As soon as she heard Guo Zhenzhen, she was delighted and exclaimed "Jia Xi" in two words. This made An Qi'er suddenly think of Liu Lianhua, and a sour feeling flashed by. She began to interrogate Guo Zhenzhen, who still didn't know what was going on.

  "Pull over first, I have something to ask you."

  Listening to An Qi's cold and hard tone, Guo Zhenzhen had no choice but to stop the car. He was afraid that if he lost focus for a moment, he would deviate from his good student image. He listened quietly, "You ask"

  "Are you and my cousin officially boyfriend and girlfriend? Listen carefully, I mean the kind of relationship between couples." An Qi'er couldn't help but feel annoyed at Guo Zhenzhen's pretentious behavior.

  Guo Zhēnzhēn still smiled and replied: "I can very clearly tell you that the relationship between me, Guo Zhēnzhēn, and Liu Liánhuā is as transparent and pure as clean water, an ordinary friendship."

  An Qi'er glared, her eyes wide with anger, and grabbed Guo Zhēnzhēn's slender arm, pulling it back with force. Guo Zhēnzhēn yelped in pain, "Hey, what are you doing? Trying to take advantage of me in the car at night? I'm a pure and innocent virgin!"

  "Get out of here, you rotten scoundrel!" An Qi'er's anger surged to a greater degree, her teeth clenched in rage, "You dare to toy with my cousin's emotions? I'll make sure you pay for it today!"

  "Ah ah ya" Gu Zhenzhen cried out in pain as An Qier glared at her. Gu Zhenzhen was just a delicate flower, not much substance to her, and it would only take a few pulls on her arm to make her surrender. An Qier thought that such a man wasn't worthy of Liu Lianhua, so she didn't want him either.

  "Guo Zhēnzhēn, I'm warning you, if you don't have true feelings for my cousin, then don't mess with her."

  Kuo Chenchen was so wronged that he felt more bitter than having eaten a yellow lotus, and he painfully gasped for breath several times before reluctantly asking: "I've always maintained a friendly relationship with Liu Lianhua, I didn't provoke her at all."
