Unbeknownst to them, their conversation had been recorded by Zi Lian.
After the staff member left, Zi Lian followed behind him.
The staff member came out of the back room with a ss of alcohol and just as he was about to head towards the main hall, a woman suddenly walked over.
“Hello.”
Zi Lian’s voice was soft and tender. The moment she spoke, the staff member found his heart melting. He finally reacted to her greeting and hastily asked, “Miss Zi, I wonder how I can be of your service?”
Zi Lian pointed to her skirt, and blushed in obvious embarrassment. “I identally spilled some red wine on my skirt. Can you help me with it?”
Gulp
The staff member was clearly charmed and subconsciously looked down.
Zi Lian wore a light-colored knee-length pleated skirt, which had an obvious red stain.
“Please. If someone were to see this, I’d be too ashamed.”
The staff’s sense of justice shot through the roof and he said, “Miss Zi, please follow me.”
He led her to a room with a dry cleaner.
Zi Lian looked at the dry cleaning machine, pursed her lips, and appeared embarrassed. “I can’t possibly undress here so the skirt can be dry cleaned, but I also don’t know how to wash it by hand.”
After she said that, she reached out her white and tender hands towards the staff.
The staff swallowed his saliva and his brain buzzed. He then suggested. “If you don’t mind, let me help you. The stained area is pretty small and it’s easy to remove it.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
The staff was blinded by Zi Lian’s smile. He put the tray on the shelf next to him and squatted by her legs.
While Zi Lian conversed with the staff, she looked at the several sses of alcohol on the tray.
If her memory serves her right, the outermost ss was spiked.
Just then, the staff spoke up. “Miss Zi, please stay here. I’ll fetch some dry cleaning wipes.”
“Okay, thank you.”
As soon as the waiter turned around, Zi Lian quickly turned the tray, took out the drug she had prepared in advance, and spiked another ss.
The staff returned very soon, and Zi Lian picked up a ss of alcohol.
The staff was shocked. “Miss Zi.”
“What’s wrong?” Zi Lian ced the ss against her lips and when she heard his call, she acted as if she realised she had been rude.
She hastily pushed the ss away, and said in embarrassment, “I saw that the alcohol seemed appealing and could not help myself and just had to take a sip. You won’t be angry, will you?”
“Oh, no. Definitely not.” Even though the staff found her actions weird, Zi Lian had not picked up the ss he had spiked and so he was relieved.
Zi Lian shyly took out her lipstick and marked the bottom of the cup. “You can just pass me this ss of alcoholter.”
The staff found it very thoughtful of Miss Zi, and nodded. He then squatted by her legs to help her with the stains.
A momentter.
“Miss Zi, it’s done.”
Zi Lian nced at her skirt that was stain free and gratefully smiled. “Thank you very much. If not for you, I have no idea what I would have done.”
The staff felt that he was suddenly a hero.
“You seem to be on your way to deliver the alcohol. Let’s go together.”
…
When Zi Yi returned from the restroom, everyone was already in high spirits.
Some danced while others drank and yed games in groups of three and five.
Next to He Fei were several men in theirte twenties and it was obvious that they were discussing something.
When Zi Yi walked over, she coincidentally heard someone saying with a tone of worship, “Second Brother is indeed worthy of his reputation. Several major groups coborated to suppress the Lu Groupst night, but he had swallowed all the funds they injected instead.”
“It was nearly 100 billion yuan worth of funds, and he simply swallowed it whole. It is indeed true that one cannotpare with another.”
“Well, he’s Second Brother after all. Say, what do you think he’s doing right now? It’ll be great if we can call him over.”
“Who dares to call him? He Fei?”
