It took a while for her to calm down. When she came back to her senses, she kept the letter as the man’s voice reached her.
“Who wrote to you?”
Xi Xiaye tore the letter into pieces and tossed the pieces into the bin. As she turned around and saw his concerned expression, she replied quietly, “I asked someone to investigate Qi Kai, and there’s probably some information. I’ll talk to you about this again tonight.”
She walked over while Mu Yuchen nodded. Then, they sat down and had their meal.
Both Su Chen and Mu Yuchen left after lunch. Su Chen had something to pa.s.s to the latter. Xi Xiaye stayed at home since she was still sleepy after taking the medicine, so she went back to sleep. However, her phone started ringing when she was sound asleep. After a while, Xi Xiaye woke up and grabbed her phone, pressing the b.u.t.ton with her eyes wincing from the bright screen.
“h.e.l.lo?”
“Director Xi, it’s me, Xiao Yu!”
An urgent tone of voice came over from the other side. Before Xi Xiaye could reply, Xiao Yu went on, “Director Xi, something bad has happened! Someone’s making a fuss here, and Manager Chen is injured.”
The one on the phone was Mu Lingshi’s a.s.sistant, Xiao Yu!
Xi Xiaye sat up suddenly. Her movements were so sudden that it caused her a headache which only went away after a while. “What did you say? Who’s making a fuss? How’s the manager?”
“Manager Chen is injured badly. Things are getting out of hand here. They have quite a solid background and they’ve cornered Manager Chen. I can’t reach Manager Mu and Manager w.a.n.g is on leave, so…”
“Don’t panic. Send your manager to the hospital. I’ll head over now.”
Xi Xiaye got out of bed and quickly changed before she grabbed the car keys and left swiftly.
She only realized that the sky had turned dark and the street lamps were lit up when she got out. The gentle sunset rays covered the horizon, creating a magnificent pairing with the colorful lights on the streets.
However, Xi Xiaye was not in the mood to enjoy the sights. It took her around half an hour to reach the club.
Xiao Yu came up to her as she arrived.
“What’s the situation? Give me the details!” Xi Xiaye walked inside as she spoke.
“Director Xi, the customer is being terribly demanding. They booked a room, and then suddenly wanted to change to the one beside them, but that room was already booked by someone else. Our waiters negotiated with them, and not only were they rude, but they also slapped the waitress and even gave her a hard time. Manager Chen was patrolling and saw what happened. They had an argument and the person pushed Manager Chen, so he fell on the corner of a table and sustained a bad injury on the arm,” Xiao Yu replied.
“Who are they? Where are the security guards in the club? Aren’t they doing anything?” Xi Xiaye frowned.
“Manager Chen said not to make a big fuss out of it and try to resolve this calmly, but they were really difficult. They injured some of our people! Manager Chen is really angry,” Xiao Yu said quietly.
Xi Xiaye’s brows stayed knotted as she sped up.
She was surprised when she arrived at the room. The perpetrators were Huang Shanshan, w.a.n.g Ziluo, Sun Mei and the others. However, what surprised Xi Xiaye even more was that Han Yifeng was there as well!
He was drinking at the corner alone, seeming lost in a cloud of depression.
Huang Shanshan?
Ever since she had revealed Xi Xinyi’s true colors the last time, she had not really appeared anymore, but now she seemed very close to w.a.n.g Ziluo. It made one wonder how she was doing with Xi Xinyi now.
w.a.n.g Ziluo, Sun Mei, and several others acted pretty arrogantly.
Since the accidents at Su Nan’s wedding the last time, her impressions of them had worsened and she never thought about keeping in touch with them. She never thought she would meet them again, yet now…
“Don’t you come here to work for money? Acting innocent now? It’s your honor that I’m paying you to have a drink with me. Pfft, acting like a saint while being a witch? Shameless!”
“Right, I can’t stand women who act all innocent, learning all the seductive ways at such a young age!”
“Don’t get angry, Bro Jun, it’s not worth being upset over a little witch like her! Look at her face! It’d be interesting to see how it’s like after someone leaves a scratch or two on it!”
They surrounded a waitress with tears all over her face as they gave her a hard time while cornering Manager Chen on the side.
The pretty waitress was crying and Huang Shanshan was slapping the waitress’s face as she acted all high and mighty.
“Director Xi, that waitress is a senior at university. Manager Chen pitied her, so she was allowed to work here part-time,” Xiao Yu gave a brief introduction.
Xi Xiaye frowned. “Anyone who works here should be carefully selected and trained. How can we simply recruit anyone? What kind of place do you think this is? Especially waitresses, shouldn’t you guys train her to be more independent?”
Ever since the incident last time, Xi Xiaye had set strict standards on waitresses in order to prevent the same issue. This girl seemed pretty fearful as her body was shaking from Huang Shanshan giving her a mere stare.
“Yes Director Xi!”
Before Xiao Yu could finish her reply, Xi Xiaye interrupted with a yell, “Stop it right there!”
“Xiao Yu, get Manager Chen downstairs and handle the wound. You go down as well,” Xi Xiaye gave her order.
“Yes, Director Xi!”
Xi Xiaye’s sudden appearance silenced the room as everyone looked over at her in surprise.
“It’s you!”
“Xi Xiaye!”
Huang Shanshan’s expression changed.
After Xiao Yu and the others left, Xi Xiaye glanced over at the messy scene. “I’ve heard about what happened. If you guys are here for entertainment, you’re very welcome to do so, but if you’re here to cause trouble, please leave.”
