Chen Hao frowned, but he still walked over.
A woman who was sitting at the table asked, âMiss Liu, isnât he that student of yours? He is pretty good-looking! But why isnât he in his uniform?â
âYeah, all of the waiters here are in uniforms except for him. Really?â
âHeâs probably a handyman. Where thereâs work, he will be there. After all, he isnât a permanent worker and is only a temp!â Liu Min explained.
âHaha, is that so? Come here, little man. Come here next to me, thereâs an empty seat. You should sit down and chat with us!â
âYeah, you cutie! Donât be shy! Look, itâs a rare chance that you get to sit with so many rich CEOS and businessmen. You have to treasure this opportunity!â
The few twenty-something-year-old women saw that Chen Hao looked rather fresh and youthful, so they felt playful.
Whereas Liu Min rolled her eyes at Chen Hao and said, âWhat are you waiting for? Didnât you hear, Xin and the others are asking you to sit down! Really, youâre such a fool! Did four years of college teach you nothing?â
Chen Hao couldnât refuse these womenâs invitations.
He thought, Fine. Iâll just sit down first, then join Li Zhenguo and the others later when I see them.
Adding on to the fact that he was mocked by Liu Min, Chen Hao felt even angrier.
Why?
Seeing as they were teachers and students once, she had bossed him around ever since they met at the bus station, but he didnât even get a word of thanks.
And now, the moment he walked in the hotel, she started mocking him.
He came to attend the welcoming party, but ended up being mocked at.
Chen Hao kept a low profile, but he wasnât a punching bag for others to mock and laugh at.
That was why he sat down unashamedly.
âHmph! How innocent and pitiful. You actually sat down when we asked you to!â As expected, Liu Min mocked him again.
That made the few women at the table start laughing.
These women were the rich wives of many important figures in Ping An County, and their husbands also had businesses in Jin Ling City. They were pretty powerful.
Whereas Liu Min was just a substitute teacher.
That was why she was sucking up to them on occasions like these.
Seeing that they were happy made her even more excited.
Slap!
Liu Min slapped Chen Haoâs head. âDamn, get up and pour some wine for Xin and the others. Do you think youâre some kind of rich second generation?â
This scene made the whole table laugh again.
Chen Hao was silent as he stood up to pour the wine.
Except when he reached Liu Min, he purposely tilted it more aggressively.
The opening of the bottle was directed at Liu Minâs lap and the wine spilled on her.
It spilled all over her dress.
âArgh! F*ck! My dress!â Liu Min yelled immediately.
âChen Hao, do you even know how to pour wine? Do you want to die? Do you know how expensive this dress is?!â Liu Min said angrily.
The event was just about to start. How could she meet people looking like this?
But Chen Hao appeared to be dim-witted.
Obviously, this idiot had never experienced an event like this, so he messed up in his nervousness.
But the wine-pouring was her own idea, so Liu Min couldnât scold him too harshly.
âItâs my fault, itâs really my fault! I shouldnât have asked you to sit here in the first place. If I hadnât, my dress wouldnât have been dirtied! Argh, why are you standing there? Iâm going to the restroom, get me some tissues quickly!â
Her husband, Wang Qiang, had already gone to the side to converse with some of his seniors. It wouldnât look good to bring some tissues to the bathroom on her own, so she poked Chen Haoâs head as she bossed him around.
âOkay!â
Chen Hao looked at Liu Min and scoffed. In the end, he nodded in agreement.
Thus, he followed Liu Min to the restroom.
âF*ck! I asked you to bring a box of tissues but you only brought me one piece?!â
Liu Min got even angrier.
She was extremely aggravated.
The sink was public, which sat in the middle of the male and female restrooms.
Right at this moment, a girl walked out from the restroom at the side.
She came over to wash her hands.
She spotted Liu Min and said in disbelief, âHuh? Miss Liu, is that you?â
âMingxue? Why are you here at Chun Hua Grand Hotel? Didnât you mention that you were going to Bao Sheng tonight in the group chat?â Liu Min also asked in surprise.
The girl used to be her class representative, and the one who was working at the County Hospital now.
Her name was Li Mingxue!
âDonât even talk about it. Bao Sheng isnât open for business temporarily, so I booked Chun Hua instead.
It seems like thereâs some big event in Chun Hua Grand Hotel tonight, too. Luckily we booked it early, if not, we wouldnât have gotten to book here either!â Li Mingxue complained as she folded her arms.
It seemed as though she didnât notice Chen Hao, who was standing to the side.
âMiss Liu, what happened to your clothes? Thereâs wine on them!â Li Mingxue asked.
âHmph! Tell me about it. I came here for a business event, but this *sshole Chen Hao caused this! Itâs everywhere!â Liu Min glared at Chen Hao.
Only then did Li Mingxue notice Chen Hao at the side.
Chen Hao smiled as he waved at Li Mingxue.
Li Mingxue also greeted Chen Hao.âChen Hao, youâre here too? Donât tell me, youâre here to take part in the business event with Miss Liu?â Li Mingxue asked in surprise.
âHmph! Him? He came here as a part-timer. How can he ever take part in any business event?â Liu Min said unhappily.
The stain couldnât be removed no matter how hard she tried.The event was about to start, so Liu Min could only walk out sorrowfully.
âHey, Li Chao, take a look! Whoâs this?â
Li Mingxue walked out with Liu Min, and right then, some boys walked out of a room from the first floor lobby.
They were Li Mingxueâs boyfriend, Li Gang, as well as Li Chao and the others from Chen Haoâs class.
Speaking of which, Chen Hao hadnât met Li Chao and the others in quite a few years. They hadnât contacted each other often in high school, let alone in college.
So when they excitedly came over and surrounded Liu Min to greet her, Chen Hao didnât butt in or take the initiative to greet them. Instead, he listened by the side quietly.
âLi Chao, you were the most handsome in class back then, and youâre as handsome as ever now! So, what are you going to do after graduation?â Liu Min asked Li Chao.
Li Chao was wearing a tuxedo with his hair combed back, looking rather put-together. He was handsome, that was for sure. Most importantly, even though he wasnât the richest in high school, he was the one with the most connections because of his family, so he was rather admired by the teachers.
âI donât know. Iâm waiting for my family to arrange something for me!â Li Chao yawned.
He didnât need to say anything for them to know that he had secured a position in a public institution.
It really caused them to admire him.
âLi Chao, even though your future is secured, you canât forget about everyone else. Ming Xue is working in the hospital now, so you should help whenever you can!â Liu Min didnât forget about her class representative.
âDonât worry, itâs no problem!â
âHey, isnât Chen Hao your high school classmate? Why does it seem like you all donât recognize each other?â At this moment, Li Mingxueâs boyfriend, Li Gang, pointed at Chen Hao and asked with a smile.
âHuh? Chen Hao? Damn!â
When Li Chao and the others heard that, they looked toward Chen Hao and realized that this was certainly Chen Hao from high school!
âRight, right! I forgot to tell you all that I met Chen Hao this afternoon. Heâs working as a waiter in Chun Hua Grand Hotel now!â
Li Mingxue saw Chen Hao being left out and felt rather embarrassed for him, so she smiled and introduced him.
âAh, thatâs not bad! Chen Hao, are you working behind-the-scenes or at the front line? If you have any problems, Iâll help you pull some strings and make you a manager or something, alright?â
Li Chao smiled as he nodded.
âHeâs your high school classmate?â Amongst them, there was a boy Chen Hao had never met before.
He was looking at Chen Hao as he asked teasingly.
Of course, old classmates meeting at an event like this and finding out that a classmate had become their waiter was rather news-worthy.
âYeah, heâs famous for being our classâ poor idiot, haha!â Another boy said, laughing.
The group of people started telling the boy stories about Chen Hao carelessly.
âYoung Master Chen, so you are here!â
Right at this moment, a voice sounded from the grand hall...
