The laughter from the crowd around them caused Xi Feng’s face to turn liver-colored.
Climbing up from the ground, Xi Feng covered her face and ran out of the bar.
“Come with me.” Quan Jue held Chi Jiao’s hand and walked out of the bar.
Jian Manman, who had been standing further away and staring at him the entire time, noticed Quan Jue holding Chi Jiao’s hand. Her expression turned solemn.
After leaving the bar, Quan Jue released his grip.
“Who told you I was here?” he asked coldly.
Chi Jiao felt that it wasn’t appropriate for her to betray Lin Ye, so she simply stared at her toes and kept quiet.
Actually, even if she didn’t say it, Quan Jue knew who it was.
Only Lin Ye and Jian Manman knew that he was working in a bar.
The reason why Jian Manman knew about this was that she was this bar’s resident singer. Since Jian Manman didn’t know Chi Jiao, she couldn’t have told her.
Therefore, it could only be that big mouth Lin Ye.
“You shouldn’t come to such a place. Go home,” Quan Jue said in a gentler tone as he looked at the top of her head.
“I’m already here,” Chi Jiao said softly. “Are you that impatient to chase me back?”
“Be good,” Quan Jue responded.
Just then, Jian Manman walked out of the bar.
“Quan Jue, Boss is looking for you.” As she spoke, Jian Manman glanced at Chi Jiao.
The little girl looked aggrieved, like a wrinkled bun.
She was quite cute.
If she were a boy, Jian Manman would probably like this type as well.
“Mhm.” Quan Jue nodded indifferently and patted Chi Jiao’s head. “Head back first and text me when you get home.”
Chi Jiao looked reluctant and didn’t speak. Instead, she glanced at Jian Manman.
Coincidentally, she caught the inquisitive gaze Jian Manman was giving her.
…
Quan Jue walked into the workroom at the back of the bar. Meng Xu, who was playing games on the sofa, took some time to look up at him after hearing the sound of the door opening.
“Sister Feng called me earlier,” Meng Xu said unhurriedly.
Quan Jue raised his eyebrows.
He knew that woman would definitely complain to Meng Xu, but he didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.
“Do you want to dock my pay or something?” Quan Jue asked bluntly.
He was the one who had pushed Xi Feng to the ground. He would admit to it.
Meng Xu was playing one of the most popular Dota games now. He had just won a Penta Kill and conveniently destroyed the other party’s base. Then, he put down his phone and looked up at Quan Jue.
The young man stood there. His tall and slender figure was like a small white poplar, and it seemed like he would rather die than bend.
Meng Xu smiled. “Take a seat. We’ll talk slowly about this.”
Quan Jue walked to sit opposite him.
“I asked the others just now. Did you push her because she teased you first?” Meng Xu asked.
Quan Jue didn’t say anything, which could be considered an acknowledgment.
“That woman has been harassing you for a long time. Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Meng Xu asked again.
He had also learned from others that ever since Quan Jue came to this bar, Xi Feng had been harassing him every day.
“It’s just a small matter,” Quan Jue said indifferently.
Meng Xu looked deeply at him.
He had a nagging feeling that this young man was a little too mature for his age. There wasn’t a hint of flair about him.
“I’m not trying to deduct your salary. Our business has improved ever since you came to our place.” Meng Xu smiled and looked at him. “I admire you quite a lot, and I want you to work here. I called you to remind you that Xi Feng’s methods can be a little dirty, so you have to be careful.”
Quan Jue nodded.
