BXBX NOVEL Chapter 256 - 244: Release of True Nature
“Bring a pot of tea,” Xiao Qian said calmly.
“Don’t make unreasonable demands, if you’re not going to spend money, just leave!” The supervisor thought Xiao Qian was deliberately making things difficult for her.
“Which of your eyes saw us not spending money? Come on, bring us a plate of shredded potatoes.”
Shredded potatoes were the cheapest dish in the restaurant.
“You just wait!” The supervisor walked away angrily.
At this time, although it was not yet the mealtime, there were still a few tables occupied. The waiters and waitresses were not too busy and gathered around to watch.
The drama of firing a new hire was played out almost every few days. Some of those who had been trapped into working three days of labor were angry, some regretful, but none of them reacted like Xiao Qian. Everyone was curious about what she was up to.
Xiao Qian took out her phone and handed it to Lily Tang.
“What for? Xiao Qian, how can you still bear to stay here?” After being tricked, Lily Tang despised this place and couldn’t wait to leave.
“This is an eternal truth that I want to teach you: whoever makes you angry, just strike back. Getting upset only harms yourself. Through these three days, have you figured out who you are, what you want to do, and the relationship between you and your father?”
“I…” Lily Tang thought about these past few days when she returned to the hotel after work, and her father was still waiting for her.
He stayed up so late, waiting for her to come back.
They talked for a while, drank a bowl of porridge, and her father even discussed work with her, even in her role as a plate carrier, he asked her to take it seriously.
This kind of experience was truly rare for a rich second generation.
“I figured it out. I understand my father’s hard work, and I should do what I’m supposed to do as soon as possible.”
“Then what are you waiting for? You no longer reject that you are the daughter of the Tang family, the daughter of a wealthy man. So now, why not do something a wealthy daughter should do?”
“What should I do?”
“Call someone, pay them back how they bullied you.”
After a while, the waitress who framed Shuixian brought a plate of shredded potatoes and placed it heavily on the table.
She said contemptuously to Shuixian and Xiao Qian, “Have you two had enough fun yet?”
In her view, Xiao Qian and Lily Tang were just stirring up trouble for no reason.
Xiao Qian didn’t eat but knocked on the table with great pomp.
“How old are you this year?”
“20, so what!” The waitress replied.
“20 is not young in the service industry but is still young in a person’s life. I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll tell you a life motto for free: no matter where you are, don’t easily look down on or bully someone you don’t know well, because you might carelessly step on a landmine. Society is vast, but also small; if you don’t have the necessary capabilities, try to maintain a humble attitude towards everyone.”
After Xiao Qian finished speaking, she looked at Lily Tang, whose call was already made.
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about…eat, and then leave. Our restaurant has never seen such poor customers, ordering just one plate of shredded potatoes!” The waitress said sarcastically.
“You see it now,” Xiao Qian glanced at her.
The waitress inexplicably felt a sudden sense of panic. She seemed to understand why the supervisor didn’t come out.
She’s avoiding this girl with glasses.
Working at a restaurant is very busy, there’s no chance for communication between people, so no one in the restaurant knew the details of these two newcomers.
Even after working together for three days, no one had really looked closely at Xiao Qian and Shuixian. Sitting here now without their aprons, the aura they emit made the old waitress and the supervisor feel inexplicably alarmed.
Especially Xiao Qian, her speech was not so much domineering but rather gentle. However, when she looked at people, they felt an overwhelming and restrained sense, even more imposing than the noblest guests in the restaurant.
When Xiao Qian no longer deliberately hid her aura, her suppressed true nature began to emerge over these three days.
“Originally, I respected front-line waiters very much; there’s no noble or humble occupation, but people can be good or bad. You guys obviously fall into the category of those with problematic quality and are not worthy of sympathy.”
Xiao Qian spoke with a dismissive tone to the waitress and then said to Shuixian, “Do you understand how to balance interpersonal relationships?”
“I understand…a person’s character and integrity are related to their personality but not money.” Shuixian realized what Xiao Qian meant by the world appearing differently in places she couldn’t see after staying here for three days.
Not all those living at the bottom of the social class, who she used to pity, were kind-hearted. Those who work in a restaurant are already at the bottom of society, yet they still exploit those who were even lower.
This had nothing to do with wealth; many people had no money, but they were still kind-hearted.
Xiao Qian praised, “You have great comprehension…uh, your father should really thank me. I initially just wanted to cure your anorexia, but it ended up involving techniques for dealing with people. It’s an unexpected joy—of course, I also have to thank these stupid bullies.”
Life always has surprises in store for us, doesn’t it?
She hadn’t even arranged for any actors, but the people at this restaurant had dug their own grave. With this drama, Shuixian’s condition was surprisingly helped.
Xiao Qian and Shuixian’s conversation was too deep for the waitress to understand; she stood there with a confused face. However, she understood the last sentence.
“Who are you calling stupid?”
“You’re in such a hurry to take offense, huh?” Xiao Qian curled her lips.
“Damn, are you deliberately provoking us? Let me tell you, I’m the distant cousin of the boss lady’s third aunt!” The waitress put her hands on her hips.
Xiao Qian pushed her glasses up, “Being a distant cousin of the third aunt, and still having to carry plates, your boss lady is not trustworthy. No wonder she uses such shameless tactics to deceive people.”
“Get someone over here and kick these two out!” the waitress shouted.
As if answering her call, a group of people entered from outside.
“Welcome!”
There were at least 10 people in the group.
Each was large and burly, and the two leaders wore sunglasses. They looked like they were not to be trifled with. These were Lily Tang’s bodyguards.
They walked straight to Shuixian’s table and said respectfully,
“Miss, do you have any orders?”
Shuixian looked at Xiao Qian; Xiao Qian nodded.
“This restaurant claims they’ve never seen customers who order just one plate of shredded potatoes. 1 want to help them experience what the world is like in places they can’t reach,” Shuixian said in Xiao Qian’s tone.
Bodyguard Xiaodouyan, what does that mean?
“Block the door, and don’t let anyone in until we finish eating,” Xiao Qian translated.
The bodyguards immediately blocked the entrance, leaving the remaining customers with no choice but to leave. The restaurant suddenly became quiet.
One plate of shredded potatoes could be eaten in 10 minutes or throughout the entire night.
“Living a long time, you can see everything; that’s why the older and wiser become humbler toward life. Of course, fools will always remain fools,” Xiao Qian said indifferently to the waitress..
