Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Su Huixian kindly said, “Su Bei, if you’re going to attend an elder’s birthday banquet, you might not be able to present such a piece of calligraphy. Why don’t you change it to something better? Miss Liao is here, and she can give you some pointers to prevent you from embarra.s.sing yourself with a piece of unknown calligraphy.”
When Su Bei heard Su Huixian talking to her, she raised her head and looked at her blankly. “What did you say?”
Su Huixian bit her lip angrily. Su Bei had completely turned a deaf ear to what she just said?
Qiu Minxuan chimed in, “Huixian is advising you that if you want to give a gift, you should choose something good. Don’t let others look down on you.”
Su Bei glanced at Qiu Minxuan but did not say anything. She continued to read her magazine. How could a follower of Su Huixian expect a response from Su Bei?
Sorry, she wasn’t even qualified to argue with Su Bei.
Seeing how rude Su Bei was, Qiu Minxuan exploded in anger. Su Huixian reached out to stop her and said to Su Bei, “If you attend the birthday banquet of an elder with status and power but present a gift that doesn’t match his status, wouldn’t that be a humiliation to him?”
She was not telling Su Bei this out of goodwill. She just wanted to show off her glib tongue. Furthermore, she knew that the more she spoke, the more Su Bei would insist on her opinion. She would let Su Bei insist on going. The further she went down the wrong path, the more she would cry in the end.
Su Bei lazily put down the magazine and said to Su Huixian, “An elder with status and power naturally knows that a gift is just a token of appreciation and not something that has to be compared. The more intelligent you are, the better you’ll understand this point. Those who don’t understand don’t have to understand.”
Those words were just short of pointing at her nose and saying that Su Huixian was an idiot without any status.
“Then take your rubbish and go embarra.s.s yourself at the scene.” Qiu Minxuan helped Su Huixian to say what she wanted to say but could not bring herself to say.
“Even if it’s embarra.s.sing, I didn’t step on your tail, right? Why are you so anxious? The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is,” Su Bei said indifferently and lazily.
Qiu Minxuan’s face turned red.
Liao Xintong tried to ease the tension between them. “Forget it. There’s no need to argue over such a small matter. Why don’t we pay the bill first?”
At this moment, a small scale chaos had started in the shop. It turned out that after the young man left, he had called the higher-ups and asked them to immediately arrange for people to sort out the issues in the shop and deal with the shop a.s.sistant.
At this moment, Mr. Qiao, the head of the company, had personally come to the shop to deal with the problems that the young boss had raised over the phone.
When Liao Xintong and Su Huixian went to pay the bill, it was Mr. Qiao who personally received them. He said in neither a servile nor an overbearing manner, “800,000 yuan. Are you paying by card or cash?”
“Of course, I’m paying with a credit card,” said Su Huixian. “Huh, that’s not right. Didn’t you say that there was a discount of 400,000 yuan? Why is it the original price instead?”
“I’m sorry, but this discount is for VVIP customers. Other customers don’t have such a discount.”
Seeing that he did not recognize her, Su Huixian did not mind and said with a smile, “Miss Liao Xintong, who came with me, is a VVIP customer of the shop.. That’s why the a.s.sistant in charge said that he would give us this discount.”
