The duty manager, in front of his own big BOSS, was nothing but smiles, insisting, "Don’t worry, she’ll definitely come!"
After much coaxing and persuading, Xu Xia was finally brought to a VIP room on the sixth floor. Everyone took their seats according to status, and Luo Xiaoqian was once again arranged to sit next to Leng Zimo. The duty manager personally attended to the pouring of drinks and water while sending a waiter to notify Liu Feifei.
It wasn’t long before Liu Feifei entered the room. Seeing the few people inside, she already regretted her past actions but had no choice but to brave it and help serve drinks to Leng Zimo, Luo Xiaoqian, and the others.
Swirling her glass, Xu Xia said, "Liu Feifei, how about that? ’Ten years east of the river, ten years west of the river’, did you ever think Xiao Qian and I would have our day?"
"How could I not?" Liu Feifei’s smile was filled with flattery. "I always knew that both of you would make it big! I was disrespectful to you before, so today I’ll take a drink as punishment, no, three drinks, as an apology to you both!"
"Right, right, right, I’ll also take three drinks as punishment. It’s my fault for the poor management that caused you both distress back then!" The duty manager followed suit and downed three drinks.
Luo Xiaoqian glanced at the slightly stern face of Leng Zimo next to her, afraid that he might lose his temper, she hurriedly steadied Xu Xia, and then gestured to Liu Feifei.
"Everyone have fun; I’ll be going down first!" Liu Feifei quickly looked for an excuse to escape, and the duty manager volunteered to have his staff open more bottles and bring fruit platters, "Today, all expenses are on me. You all have a good time, and if you need anything, just ask!"
"No need, no need, thank you!" Luo Xiaoqian personally got up to see him out, and when she returned and sat down, she looked helplessly at Xu Xia guzzling her drink and then whispered an apology to Leng Zimo.
"You guys have no idea!" Xu Xia lifted her hand to wipe her face, her eyes red as a rabbit’s, "Back then, Xiao Qian had it rough, so poor she only had a few hundred yuan to her name. Every day she ate nothing but steamed buns and instant noodles, and at night, too thrifty to take a taxi, she’d squeeze into the late-night bus. And this scumbag not only figured out ways to dock our pay but also fired us..."
