Xia Jingru saw the waitress was Xia Xiaoluo, she became supercilious again. She gave a hundred yuan to Xia Xiaoluo. “Well done. This is your tip!”
Xia Xiaoluo was so angry. She liked money because she was poor. But she hated the tips given by Xia Jingru. She won’t accept Xia Jingru’s charity even though she was poor. What was more, she could get a good salary by doing this part-time job, and Ling Tianyi wouldn’t let her suffer either.
“Sorry. We can’t accept customer’s tips according to the rules.” Xia Xiaoluo said and went away.
When Xia Jingru was looking at Xia Xiaoluo scornfully, Xia Xiaoluo stopped and turned around with a smile. Xia Jingru asked, “What? Will you accept my tips against the rules?”
Xia Xiaoluo shook her head. She glanced at the coffee on the table. “I will pay for this cup of Mocha.”
Xia Xiaoluo went to Chu Tong and Ma Qianli happily, ignoring Xia Jingru’s feelings. They were watching her quietly far away.
“Are you okay?” Chu Tong said anxiously.
“I’m okay. I refused her tips and treated her with a cup of coffee.” Xia Xiaoluo was relaxed. Actually, she didn’t want to treat her. But Xia Jingru provoked her first. This cup of coffee was the punishment.
“I saw it. Why didn’t you accept it? Why did you treat her a cup of coffee? I have never treated those people I dislike.” Ma Qianli said. There was no rules about the tips here.
“Xiaoluo just wanted to regain her dignity. She doesn’t want to be bullied by others.” Chu Tong said.
Ma Qianli shook her head. She said to Xia Xiaoluo, “Xiaoluo, I’m elder than you and I have more work experience. I will teach you how to solve this problem today. If she provokes you with her tips, you can accept it. Then you can hire an indecent person to talk with her. Look! She is so lonely!”
“Ah?” Xia Xiaoluo didn’t understand what she said.
“Send her a PR man.” Ma Qianli smiled. “You don’t have to pay for her coffee. Add it in our free sheet.
Ma Qianli was kind to Xia Xiaoluo. Because she knew Xia Xiaoluo had a strong supporter. She knew that Wisner Western Restaurant was transferred to Ling Tianyi. She even wanted to make friends with Xia Xiaoluo. Maybe she could gain some profits from her in the future.
“Thank you, Sister Ma. If you tell me earlier, I would have annoyed her by doing this. Because every time I met her, I would lose my temper.” Xia Xiaoluo held her arms.
“Do you want to learn something?” Ma Qianli smiled.
“Of course!” Xia Xiaoluo said firmly.
“You should pay for the study. But I won’t ask for much money, after all you are a freshman. Just treat me dinner.” Ma Qianli joked. Actually her salary was hundreds of thousand yuan per year. If they went for dinner together, she would pay for it.
“Okay. I really want to treat you dinner. You always cared about me. Chu Tong also helped me. I will treat you with my own money to show my gratitude after I am paid. You must come at that time.” Xia Xiaoluo said. In fact, she wanted to thank Ma Qianli and Chu Tong. In her working experience, Ma Qianli was the best director. But she didn’t know it was all because of Ling Tianyi.
“Salary will be paid on 20th every month. But you don’t have the bonus because you haven’t worked the whole month last month. Your basic salary is enough to treat us. I will consider what to eat for dinner these days.” Ma Qianli joked. She wanted to become friends with Xia Xiaoluo.
Although Ma Qianli was not sure if Ling Tianyi would always support Xia Xiaoluo, maybe he would hate her sometimes. Not considering the future, Ling Tianyi was trying his best to make Xia Xiaoluo happy now. Ma Qianli wanted to make friends with Xiao Xiaoluo. This was her important social relationship.
Xia Jingru saw Xia Xiaoluo talking with others happily. She was so angry. Especially when Xia Xiaoluo said that she treated her with this cup of coffee. Xia Jingru lived a wealthy life but she was treated by a poor girl today. She felt humiliated. But she was afraid that Ling Tianyi would make trouble for her if she bullied Xia Xiaoluo now. She was so scared.
The more Xia Jingru thought about it, the angrier she became. She went out directly without thinking about her appointment. But she left the money of the coffee on the table. She didn’t want to accept Xia Xiaoluo’s charity. She could give charity to Xia Xiaoluo but she could not be given.
“Xiaoluo, the person you dislike has gone.” Chu Tong said.
“That’s good! Out of sight, out of mind!” Ma Qianli said. She must hate the person Xia Xiaoluo hated. The first step of making friends with Xia Xiaoluo was to like and hate the same person with her.
Chu Tong went to clear the table. He gave the money to them and said, “Manager Ma, there’s no need to add it into our free sheet.”
Walking outside, Xia Jingru happened to meet Su Yifeng, the friend she dated.
“Jingru, you said you were bored, so you dated with me today. Why do you leave now?” Su Yifeng asked. He was a child who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth in A City. They were senior high school classmates. He went to England after graduation. He came back these days. Xia Jingru wanted to date with him to relieve her frustrated mood of being refused by Fang Ruichen.
“Go to somewhere else.” Xia Jingru took him to a Black Tea House opposite the Wisner Western Restaurant.
“Jingru, you seem unhappy. Who bullies you? I will help you!” Su Yifeng took a sip of the black tea gently. He has pursued Xia Jingru since they were in high school. He was eager to date with her today.
“It’s Xia Xiaoluo! The disgusting girl.” Xia Jingru said with depression. They were intimate in high school. Many people even thought that they were in love. So Su Yifeng knew Xia Jingru’s family. He knew Xia Jingru hated her sister, Xia Xiaoluo.
“You don’t need to talk to her. You are a princess, she is just a maid! Why do you get angry with that kind of person? Being angry is not good for your beauty. Don’t do anything bad to your beauty.” Su Yifeng didn’t forget to praise her beauty.
Xia Jingru liked his praise. She sighed and told Su Yifeng that Xia Xiaoluo bullied her recently. She was imprisoned in the well by her financial backer for a whole night.
Su Yifeng was her protector. Hearing this, he was angry.
“Xia Xiaoluo is a bad girl. I thought she was just troublesome, I don’t expect she is such a bad girl.” Su Yifeng patted the table. “Jingru. Don’t worry. I’ll avenge for you.”
“What will you do? She has a supporter.” Xia Jingru said anxiously. She was unhappy at the thought of Ling Tianyi.
“Jingru, Xia Xiaoluo is a waitress in the Wisner Western Restaurant. If I go to the restaurant, I’m the customer. The customer is God. I can make troubles for her as I like. If she is impolite to me, I will complain about her. She will be fired.” Su Yifeng said.
“I’m so scared! If her financial backer knows it, he will revenge on me. I will be crazy.” Xia Jingru was really afraid of Ling Tianyi. But she concealed Xia Xiaoluo’s marriage with Ling Tianyi, or Su Yifeng would not help her.
“Don’t worry! I’m fearful of nothing. We can go there together. I’ll protect you and avenge for you. This is just the beginning. I will bully her continuously.” Su Yifeng said. It was a chance for him. If Xia Jingru was satisfied, she would become his girlfriend.
“No. If you are willing to avenge for me, you go there on your own. I’ll wait for your good news. If you are successful, I will treat you. You decide the place.” Xia Jingru encouraged him.
“Okay! I will be successful. We go there for dinner when I kick Xia Xiaoluo out of Wisner Western Restaurant. Jingru, wait for me!” Su Yifeng made an exaggerated posture then he went to the Wisner Western Restaurant directly.
Xia Jingru saw his back. She said to herself, “Xia Xiaoluo, I can’t bully you but I can ask someone to bully you.”
Xia Xiaoluo served a couple successfully. Ma Qianli and Chu Tong praised her. Xia Xiaoluo was so happy. She was experienced, and she could do it well.
Xia Xiaoluo saw a new customer coming in. She said, “Let me treat the customer.”
Xia Xiaoluo went to Su Yifeng. In fact they met each other before. But it was a long time ago, they forgot each other. She just wanted to work well. But she didn’t know Su Yifeng came to make trouble for her.
Su Yifeng was wearing casual clothes, but the hobbyist knew that his outfit was worth of a mid-range car. Xia Xiaoluo did not know that this handsome customer came to make trouble for her, so she greeted him with enthusiasm.
Su Yifeng sat by the window where he could enjoy the sun, and he saw Xia Xiaoluo coming. He knew she was Xia Xiaoluo when he saw her name tag. Every staff in the Wisner Western Restaurant had a name tag.
“Good morning, Sir.” Xia Xiaoluo stood in front of Su Yifeng, offering him a cup of water.
Xia Xiaoluo was enthusiastic. She did not recognize Su Yifeng who was going to make trouble for her.
“What can I do for you?” Xia Xiaoluo smiled and handed over the menu.
“The Pizza of Louis XIII looks good.” Su Yifeng glanced at the price, and it was 6800 yuan. And then he threw the menu to Xia Xiaoluo.
“Wait a moment please.” Xia Xiaoluo said and left.
“That stupid girl is hooked.” Su Yifeng sent a message to Xia Jingru.
Xia Xiaoluo took him the Pizza of Louis XIII quickly. “Sir, please enjoy your pizza.”
“Wait, when did I order this?” Su Yifeng asked.
“But, but… I’m sure you ordered it just now.” Xia Xiaoluo said with surprise. She listened to him carefully just now. Did she meet a troublesome customer?
“Hey, are you a waitress? I remember that I just took the menu, but I ordered nothing because I didn’t like anything.” Su Yifeng crossed his legs with cynicism.
“Sorry! Sir, please think it over. I’m sure you ordered the Pizza of Louis XIII just now.” Xia Xiaoluo was anxious. It was her first day to learn how to be a waitress and how to serve the customers today. Never thought she met a troublesome customer.
“When I saw it on the menu, I reminded that I used to eat it when I was abroad, so I admired it. But, I didn’t order it. I think you should think about it! Miss!” Su Yifeng said proudly.
Xia Xiaoluo thought carefully, it seemed that he did not say that he wanted to order the pizza. But she was depressed, why did he read the menu if he did not want to order it?
Xia Xiaoluo rolled her eyes and said to Su Yifeng, “Sir, since you have eaten it abroad, you can try it after you come back. Maybe the taste is different.”
“Is it free?” Su Yifeng asked deliberately.
Xia Xiaoluo was speechless, but she said with a smile reluctantly, “You can enjoy a 10% discount!” Xia Xiaoluo has no right to free the consumption, after all it was not a cup of coffee. It was the Pizza of Louis XIII of 6800 yuan. As for the 10% discount, she knew that the restaurant will give the customer a 10% discount when there were fewer customers at noon.
“What? Only a 10% discount? I won’t eat it.” Su Yifeng picked up his mobile phone and began to play games.
“Sir, sir…” Xia Xiaoluo tried to communicate with Su Yifeng, but he did not raise his head, just focusing on playing games.
“What’s wrong, Xiaoluo?” Chu Tong saw that Xia Xiaoluo was still talking to the customer. He was afraid that she was in trouble.
Xia Xiaoluo took Chu Tong to somewhere else, telling him what happened.
“What should I do? Can you help me, Chu Tong?” Xia Xiaoluo said anxiously. She was afraid that if she could not deal with it, she had to pay for the 6800 yuan. She would get nothing after repaying the money. Maybe she would lose her job.”
“I will try to communicate with the customer for you. He dresses well, I think he is wealthy. You can observe beside. If the customer is still unreasonable, you can report it to Manager Ma. She is kind to you, maybe she will help you.” After Chu Tong finished, he went to Su Yifeng.
“Good morning, Sir.” Chu Tong stood in front of Su Yifeng neither humble or supercilious.
“What’s the matter? Will you invite me to eat this pizza? If not, please leave me alone. Don’t stand here! Take the pizza away, for fear that there is no room for the food I will order later.” Su Yifeng only glanced at Chu Tong, continuing to play games.”
“Sorry, Sir. Maybe you just read the menu, letting our waitress misunderstand that you want to order this pizza. We can offer you a 10% discount, but please understand. Don’t make us embarrassed, okay?” Chu Tong said politely.
“You are annoyed. You made a mistake, but you want me to pay for it. Impossible, that’s impossible, I will not eat what I didn’t order, and I will not waste even a penny on this pizza. If you insist on persuading me to consume here, I will go to the Consumer Association to report you.” Su Yifeng said firmly.
Chu Tong felt that it was hard to communicate with Su Yifeng, so he glanced at Xia Xiaoluo, asking her to find the Lobby Manager. So Xia Xiaoluo went to find Ma Qianli and told her what happened.
Ma Qianli was worried that there was no chance for her to associate with Xia Xiaoluo. Now the chance was coming. She decided to help Xia Xiaoluo to deal with it no matter who the customer was.
“Xiaoluo, here is the high-end Western Restaurant in A City, not the roadside stands. Don’t worry! If the customer comes to make trouble deliberately, I will ask the security guards to throw him away!” After that, Ma Qianli went to Su Yifeng with Xia Xiaoluo.
“Good morning, sir, I’m the Lobby Manager here, and I have known the situation. May I ask you a question? When a waiter served the customer with the menu, and the customer said the name of the dish, do you think he was ordering something?” Ma Qianli was smiling, but her tone was oppressive.
Su Yifeng didn’t care about Ma Qianli’s words, he said, “I don’t have time to answer your question. I just admired that there was Pizza of Louis XIII here. I knew it was cheaper after seeing the menu. Lobby Manager, do you mean that the customer doesn’t have the right to praise your restaurant?”
“Sir, on behalf of Wiesner Western Restaurant, thank you for your appreciation! To show our gratitude, we can give you a 20% discount on this pizza and a free fruit salad! Are you satisfied with it?” Ma Qianli told him the bottom line directly. She indicated that she gave the discount and free salad to show their gratitude, not the apology.
“Oh, you are the Lobby Manager. Maybe you don’t understand. I didn’t order the Pizza of Louis XIII and I don’t want to eat the pizza this afternoon. Why do you force me to eat what I didn’t order? I will report to you.” Su Yifeng shouted.
“Sir, you’d better speak with conscience. You can report us, but I believe that it will be regarded as an unreasonable complaint, and it can not affect our restaurant. Besides, we can prosecute you because you slandered our restaurant maliciously.” Ma Qianli was extremely tough. Her principle was that if the customer is unreasonable, she did not have to serve him politely.
“You can prosecute me! But I’m afraid you don’t have the ability. Do you know who my elder brother is? He is the most famous attorney in A City. He has never lost his case.” Su Yifeng said proudly.
“He might lose his case for the first time because of you.” Ma Qianli said coldly. After all, Ling Tianyi would support them. Xia Xiaoluo caused the trouble, so Ling Tianyi would deal with it perfectly.
“What are you talking about? I will not make my brother lose his case?” Su Yifeng stood up anxiously, intending to hit Ma Qianli.
Chu Tong stood in front of Ma Qianli. “What do you want to do? You must beat me first if you want to cause troubles!”
Chu Tong also enjoyed doing excises in his spare time, so he was strong. Besides, he used to fight with others when he was a child, so he was not afraid of Su Yifeng.
“Security guards, Security guards!” Ma Qianli shouted.
In ten seconds, four tall security guards stood behind Ma Qianli.
“You four keep an eye on this troublemaker. Chu Tong, you call the police. We don’t have to be kind to people who want to have a dine and dash here!” Ma Qianli ordered them. The four security guards took Su Yifeng to a lounge directly.
“What do you want to do?” Su Yifeng shouted. He came here to help Xia Jingru, but he was trapped.
Su Yifeng felt panic. He was not afraid of the police but the journalists.
Though Su Yifeng was a playboy, he dared not to trouble his father. His father was busy doing big business with the government, so he couldn’t bring shame to his father. If the journalist reported something, his father would get angry, then his credit card would be cut off. He might be forced to go back to school, and he couldn’t stay in A City.
“OK, just 6800 yuan?” Su Yifeng took out a credit card from his wallet. “Take it! Today I’m unlucky.”
Ma Qianli took the card and handed it to Xia Xiaoluo. “Xiaoluo, swipe this card with 6800 yuan, no discount!”
“I’m wealthy! Remember to bring me the invoice! For fear that you will evade the payment of tax!” Su Yifeng said scornfully.
“Don’t worry, we are doing a legitimate business, so you can’t miss your invoice!” Ma Qianli said.
Xia Xiaoluo rushed to the cashier with the card. She came back quickly. “Sister Ma, this card was cut off.”
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!” Su Yifeng did not believe it at all.
“It is true, Sister Xiaowang has verified it for many times. It was cut off yesterday afternoon.” Xia Xiaoluo said.
“Then try this one!” Su Yifeng took out another card from the wallet.
“Sorry, sir, this credit card was also cut off.” Xia Xiaoluo handed the card to Su Yifeng.
“I’m sure this one is OK. Believe me.” Su Yifeng gave Xia Xiaoluo another debit card.
In this way, Su Yifeng tried all his cards in the wallet, however, all the credit cards were cut off, and the money in the debit card was not enough. He didn’t take much cash with him.
“Sir, are you going to have a dine and dash? You dare to consume with no money here?” Ma Qianli said leisurely and scornfully.
“Don’t look down upon me. I will call someone!” Su Yifeng took out his mobile phone.
“Jingru! I’m afraid you have to come to the Wisner Western Restaurant with money, at least 6800 yuan!” Su Yifeng whispered to the phone, but Xia Xiaoluo heard it clearly. It was Xia Jingru, Xia Jingru arranged everything.
