Chapter 206: The lifesaving Crystal’s Longing! (1/2)
Bai Xiaofei had been expecting that the audience would be passionate, but their passion had surpassed even his expectations. They were so passionate to his proposal that he was forced to use Blackie’s ability to help him and his classmates escape the public square. The excitement of the audience was understandable. The Starnet Brilliance was too attractive, and with the kind of deal he was proposing, it would be hard for him to not become famous even if he wanted to stay low profile.
The seventeen Savage Class members ran madly and were finally able to escape the group of fans behind them. They rushed into the Thousand Aroma Restaurant that was still under renovation, and Bai Xiaofei quickly told the waitresses to shut the restaurant’s entrance.
After Bai Xiaofei’s previous visit, his identity was now known by the employees within the Thousand Aroma Restaurant. Therefore, his words now carried as much weight as Lu Lingyun’s here. Once again, they were brought to the luxurious VIP room. While Mo Ka and the others were busy being dazzled by the room’s luxuriousness, Bai Xiaofei called Rui Mengqi over.
Bai Xiaofei did not really want to call Rui Mengqi over, but unfortunately, Rui Mengqi was the only employee of the restaurant who he knew. But to be precise, she was a manager here.
“Boss, it has been a while since your last visit. Do you know how much I have missed you?” Rui Mengqi said, her voice filled with joy. She spoke earnestly and honestly, her emotions at full display. But what she said made Bai Xiaofei feel like hanging himself to death.
Ma’am! I know you are behaving like that because you are naïve and innocent, but the others are not aware of that! Are you trying to kill me?
A bitter expression covered Bai Xiaofei’s face. He did not dare to turn around, but he could feel the deathly glare of Xue Ying and the resentful gaze of Lin Li on his back.
“Cough. Cough. Don’t worry. I will pay the salary I owe you on time.”
“But you don’t owe me anything!”
Bai Xiaofei wanted to create an excuse, but Rui Mengqi immediately shattered his excuse.
“Oh…What I meant was I have already decided on your request for a pay rise.”
“When have I ever requested that?” Again, Rui Mengqi destroyed his excuse.
Are you stupid? Are you dumb? Don’t you want free money?
Bai Xiaofei inwardly cursed non-stop, and with great difficulty, he wiped the awkward expression from his face.
“You don’t even remember what you said? Fine, no pay raise for you. Go get someone to serve us some dishes. If you don’t serve us good enough, I will fire you!” Bai Xiaofei’s voice became frosty as he tried to scare Rui Mengqi with threats. Unfortunately, he had instead invited an even greater disaster upon himself.
“When you bought my freedom, you promised that you will be responsible for me in the future. If you really fire me, where can I go? I know nothing. I will definitely starve to death…,” Rui Mengqi said, her voice filled with the tone of a person who had been greatly wronged. As she sobbed, tears dripped down her eyes. Bai Xiaofei felt like dying.
Ma’am! Can you stop saying those easily misunderstood words? You will get me killed!
“No, no, no! Don’t cry! I’m kidding! I will never break my promise. Just stay here. Nobody will fire you!” Bai Xiaofei immediately surrendered. As for Rui Mengqi, her tears immediately dried up. In fact, her control over her tears was even better than top-notch actresses. If one did not know who she was, one would probably think she was a top-tier succubus.
“I knew it! Boss is the best!” Rui Mengqi said as she leaped forward, trying to hug Bai Xiaofei’s arm. This scared Bai Xiaofei so much he quickly stepped backward. If he allowed her to hug his arm, there would be grave consequences.
