The Anarchic Consort Novel - Chapter 986
Chapter 986: The Ultimate Slap In The Face
“Sisi, you’re truly amazing.”
Du Sisi smiled when she heard the praise and poured a cup of tea for Professor Yuan, saying, “Teacher, try the grilled duck tongue later. It tastes very authentic.” Then, she turned around to speak to Helian Wei Wei, “If Wei Wei doesn’t want my help, that’s fine. I understand if your boyfriend doesn’t want to use my connections to climb up the ladder.”
Before Helian Wei Wei could speak up, Baili Jia Jue feigned surprise with a slight glint of mockery in his eyes and asked, “Your connections? What connections do you have?”
Du Sisi still thought that he was very handsome and she could not help but fall for him. However, she recovered quickly and said in a disdainful tone, “You’ll find out later.”
She said that because the waiter had just walked in.
She wanted Helian Wei Wei to see the stark difference between them, a fact that would not change simply because she was a better lawyer.
People like Helian Wei Wei could never compare to my riches and connections.
Compared to Helian Wei Wei’s boyfriend who only has good looks, the man I will be with in the future will be one in a million. Even if I can’t have him now, I will eventually be the mistress of the Emperor Hotel!
Du Sisi lifted her head higher haughtily when she thought of that, and turned to look at the waiter, asking, “Where is the person that I’ve called for?”
“Well,” the waiter looked at Du Sisi, “Madam, the manager you spoke of is no longer working in this hotel. I’ve asked the person in charge to come in today.”
Upon hearing that, Du Sisi’s ego inflated further as she replied, “It’s the same regardless of who it is. Let us order first. Can you introduce today’s freshest menu to us.”
“Excuse me, madam.” The manager initially wore a professional smile on his face. However, when he saw the man dressed in a black trench coat in that private room, his voice shook and his words were caught in his throat!
I must be dreaming!
What is Chairman Jue doing here!
Isn’t he still vacationing overseas?
Why did no one tell me that Chairman Jue has returned!
Anxious, the manager’s heart was racing wildly. He wanted to run toward Baili Jia Jue, but he did not know what was happening and dared not act rashly.
Where’s Executive Assistant Long?
And Manager Qi Lin?
Where are they?
How could they allow Chairman Jue to wander alone?
W-wait!
It’s not just Chairman Jue, there… there’s that demonic young master!
What is he holding?
Is it another child around his age?
When did the demonic little young master become so loving?
I have never seen this side of the child.
No, correction. Not only have I never seen this side of the child’s personality, but he was so merciless that he would make the adults’ life at the company a living hell.
Initially, he wanted to leave the company as soon as possible and came to the Emperor Hotel branch to manage the food and drinks department because of the demonic little young master.
He was not planning to be in charge of the entertainment company anyways, because everyone remembered that the demonic little young master wanted to join the show business.
The manager turned his head to see Baili Shangxie hugging his little brother in the corner and it was obvious that he recognized the manager. Originally, he would play with all the humans that Shadows brought to him, whether they were adults or children.
Among his ‘toys’, the manager was one of the more entertaining people.
If the manager knew what Baili Shangxie was thinking at the moment, it would definitely send him off crying.
However, he was only anxiously racking his brain, wondering why the homebody chairman would appear at the restaurant he was in charge of.
Is he not satisfied with the recent performance of the Emperor Hotel?
The manager shuddered violently when he thought of the punishment that would befall him if the chairman was not satisfied.
He was so absorbed in his thoughts, he did not respond even when Du Sisi had called him twice.
The waiter had never seen the manager in such a nervous state. Is it because the temperature in the private room is too cold?
Why do I feel like the manager’s hand is shaking?
“Manager Liu, Manager Liu, the guest is calling you.” The waiter reached out and tugged at the manager’s sleeve.
The manager regained his senses and instantly stood up straight. Under the gaze of Baili Jie Jue, he spoke to Du Sisi, “I’ll prepare the food immediately!”
The sudden humble attitude of the manager made the other students even more convinced by Du Sisi’s words, feeling that she was very capable.
Du Sisi was a little surprised herself. Even her uncle, who was far more powerful, would only be able to summon the restaurant manager. Naturally, this was her first time meeting the hotel manager. She had no idea that her uncle’s position in the Jue Wei Group was higher than she had expected.
The unexpected turn only made her enjoy the envious eyes around her, which delighted her more. She pointed at the menu with her perfectly manicured red finger and uttered, “Let’s order the lobster first, since our professor loves lobsters. Li Meng, what do you want to order?” Then, she passed the menu to Li Meng.
The manager wanted to nod and accept the request, but he noticed that the man was wearing a menacing grin and exuding an air of dissatisfaction with his cold eyes.
The manager started to sweat profusely in an instant.
Did I do something wrong?
But these people are Chairman Jue’s acquaintances, does he want me to reject their request?
The manager hazarded a guess and said hesitantly, “I’m sorry, madam, but you would need to book the lobster in advance according to our hotel regulations.”
Finally… the chairman’s gaze finally moved away from me!
It seems that I was right!
Du Sisi did not understand how the manager’s attitude could switch so quickly.
The other students were slightly disappointed as well, “Do we really need to book in advance? I thought that since Sisi is coming with us, we could eat the freshest seafood.”
Undoubtedly, Du Sisi would not allow her reputation to be tarnished. She shut the menu and politely said, “I’ve been here before and I’ve never needed to book in advance. Shouldn’t it be the same this time? Since you’re the hotel manager, you should know my uncle. His name is Du, and he’s in the upper management of Jue Wei Group.”
“Du?” When the manager heard the name, he unconsciously glanced at his boss. Isn’t Manager Du the one that was banned by Chairman Jue during the company meeting this afternoon?
Du Sisi was very puzzled when she saw the hotel manager furtively looking around. Thus, she asked, “What are you looking at?”
The manager opened his mouth, wanting to reply to her. What should I say to please Chairman Jue?
Baili Jia Jue did not want to inconvenience his employee further, so he leaned his head to the side, signaling to the hotel manager. As he sat languidly in his wooden chair, he fiddled with Helian Wei Wei’s long silky hair with his slender fingers. Then, he finally unleashed the icy-cold spite and contempt that had been brewing menacingly in his heart, casually saying, “Du Dewei was fired this morning, so he’s not in the upper management anymore.”
