Chapter 290 Are you the reinforcements that Gu Jia invited?

The lanterns are on.

open the window.

On the busy streets outside, various luxury cars lined up in a long queue, the sound of horns could be heard, and the grand scene came into view.

Close the window.

In the private room of Alice Restaurant, the elegant and clear "Canon" is playing.

Zhong Xiaoqin and Gu Jia sat opposite each other, chatting and laughing while looking relaxed and admiring the street view.

Because Zhong Xiaoqin had given instructions in advance, there was no need to worry about anyone breaking in.

Half an hour later, all the dishes were served.

The two began to eat slowly. The fatigue on Gu Jia's face gradually faded away, and she returned to her usual elegance and composure.

Seeing that her friend was in good condition, Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't help but smile:

"Jia Jia, share with us, how do you feel when you are sitting in the restaurant where you work during the evening rush hour, while other colleagues are busy, and you are the only one sitting leisurely enjoying dinner?"

Gu Jia took a sip of the mushroom soup and was stunned for a moment after hearing what her best friend said.

I was lazy about eating during the peak hours of the night shift, while my colleagues who were just across the wall were busy. This feeling was like... I felt that my life had reached its climax.

There are three supervisors in Alice Restaurant, one for the morning shift and two for the evening shift.

The other two supervisors were so busy that they were sweating profusely and started to complain about Zhong Xiaoqin, the diamond member who was always looking for trouble.

Gu Jia sat in the private room, and together with Zhong Xiaoqin, they elegantly tasted the new dishes prepared by the chef.

At seven o'clock, the evening rush hour reached its peak.

General Manager Zhu Mengru inspected the restaurant and found only two of her favorites busy at work, while the other traitor was nowhere to be seen. She immediately frowned:
"Where's Gu Jia?"

A foreman responded:

"Boss, Gu Jia is accompanying a diamond client in a private room. She has been in there for over an hour."

"Accompany a diamond client? Which diamond client?"

Several client names flashed through Zhu Mengru's mind quickly, but she couldn't figure out which client would let Gu Jia accompany him.

"I heard his last name is Lu."

"Lu Tingting? A young and beautiful lady?"

A name quickly popped up in Zhu Mengru's mind.

Alice Restaurant has only about fifty diamond customers, and there is only one Lu Tingting with the surname Lu.

The foreman nodded quickly and said, "It seems to be a young beauty."

After hearing this, Zhu Mengru waved her hands and said helplessly:

"I know about this. Don't disturb Miss Lu's meal."

Lu Tingting applied for an ordinary membership card at the end of 08. On the work information she filled out, one of her positions was office director of Ark New Energy.

At that time, Ark New Energy was just a newcomer in the industry.

Although Lu Tingting is the office director, she is not taken seriously by Zhu Mengru.

However, later on, Lu Tingting recharged her account with 500,000 yuan at one time, upgrading her ordinary membership to diamond membership, and then she came to dine frequently.

Zhu Mengru, the restaurant general manager, naturally began to care about Lu Tingting's information, and also paid attention to Ark New Energy Company.

In the past two years, Ark New Energy has gradually grown into a rising star in the industry, and its boss Su Mingzhe has become the richest Chinese.

In the eyes of outsiders, Lu Tingting, a senior executive of Ark New Energy Company, has also risen in status.

When Zhu Mengru, the general manager of the Alice branch, heard that it was Lu Tingting who invited Gu Jia to have dinner with her, she gave up the idea of ​​asking someone to call Gu Jia.

Although she didn't dare let anyone in to disturb her, Zhu Mengru also paid special attention to the situation inside and sent messages to Gu Jia from time to time to ask about the situation.

After Gu Jia sees a message, she usually responds casually after a while.

Her replies were also relatively brief, such as: 'OK', 'Got it', 'No problem', 'Report later', etc.

Zhong Xiaoqin and Gu Jia's meal lasted until after nine o'clock in the evening, a total of three hours.

As the evening rush hour ends.

Zhu Mengru's patience was slowly worn out, and she couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts:
"Lu Tingting dragged Gu Jia to eat with her for such a long time. Could it be that she wanted to take revenge on me for 'bullying' Gu Jia these days?"

They say that a guilty conscience is the beginning of a thief's guilt.

It has long been known that Gu Jia was bullied by a group of leaders in Alice Restaurant in the past half month.

Zhu Mengru herself also kept finding excuses to withhold Gu Jia's bonuses, overtime pay, etc.

Now that Gu Jia has a "backer", Zhu Mengru can't help feeling a little guilty.

After suffering for about another half an hour, it was almost ten o'clock.

Zhu Mengru finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore, so she asked the kitchen to prepare a dessert salad and decided to deliver it in person to say hello to "Lu Tingting" and ask her if she was the rescuer invited by Gu Jia.

……

Oriental Pearl Tower, 230 Sky Hotel.

After eating the sandwich.

Wu Xu was hugged by Lu Tingting. The two women sat on the ground, leaning on the bed, and chattering with their heads down, but no one knew what they were talking about.

Su Mingzhe was originally sitting on a sofa two meters away, in a sage state, recuperating, but he had sharp ears, and after hearing what the two women were discussing, he suddenly felt his back pain and weak legs, and they healed instantly without any medicine.

Just as Su Mingzhe was deciding whether to join the discussion between the two women, the cell phone next to him rang, which sounded a bit jarring to him.

Lu Tingting heard her cell phone ringing. Too lazy to move, she tightened her bathrobe and said to the man, "Honey, it's my phone. Please answer it."

"understood."

Su Mingzhe waved his hand and the phone floated directly into his hand. Looking at the unfamiliar phone number, he frowned and pressed the answer button. "Hello?"

Zhu Mengru was a little surprised to hear that it was a man who answered the phone, but she still asked cautiously:
"Hello, is this Ms. Lu Tingting's cell phone number?"

"This is her phone, but she can't answer the phone right now. What do you want to talk to her about?"

Su Mingzhe was a little impatient because his good time was interrupted.

Zhu Mengru quickly spoke and explained the purpose of her call.

It turned out that she went to deliver dessert and salad to Lu Tingting, only to find that Gu Jia was sitting opposite a waitress who had resigned in the first half of the year, and Lu Tingting, the diamond member whom she had been careful not to disturb, was not in the private room at all.

Zhu Mengru felt like she had been cheated. She was so angry that she almost started to scold them.

But her remaining rationality made her notice Zhong Xiaoqin who was looking at her with contempt.

Zhong Xiaoqin is really dressed in luxury brands.

A Gucci trench coat, a Prada skirt, and a Vacheron Constantin watch on her left wrist.

So many famous brands, coupled with Zhong Xiaoqin's contemptuous eyes, were like a basin of ice water poured on Zhu Mengru's head.

As the head of a high-end restaurant, Zhu Mengru is able to hold on to the position of general manager of the restaurant because she lives a very transparent and honest life.

That is for customers:
Respect the clothes first, then respect the person.

Zhong Xiaoqin is dressed in branded clothes and has a confident look. Wherever she goes, she is a respected social elite.

Recalling that half a year ago she was the waitress who was kicked out by herself and could only tremble and leave in a hurry.

I haven't seen him for half a year, and I don't know where he became famous.

No matter what, I can no longer treat her as my waitress and scold her without restraint.

Zhu Mengru suppressed her anger, put down her dessert and salad, and without saying a word, she went to the counter, retrieved the customer information, and dialed the number reserved by Lu Tingting with her own mobile phone.

Since a man answered the phone, Zhu Mengru didn't know for a moment whether she should ask her question.

After hesitating for a second, she asked:
"Hello sir, do you know a Ms. Zhong Xiaoqin?"

"know."

Su Mingzhe didn't know why the woman on the phone called Lu Tingting to ask about Zhong Xiaoqin.

But since it was about Zhong Xiaoqin, Su Mingzhe still perked up and asked:
"Xiaoqin is our friend. Did anything happen to her?"

"Oh, no, no."

When Zhu Mengru heard that Su Mingzhe admitted that Zhong Xiaoqin was his friend, there was no need to ask more questions. She quickly explained the matter briefly: "This Ms. Zhong came to eat with Ms. Lu's membership card. We just want to... ask a question."

Su Mingzhe didn't expect it to be such a small matter. After heaving a sigh of relief, he patiently explained:
"The membership card is fine. It was given to Xiaoqin by Tingting."

After both parties explained themselves clearly, Su Mingzhe hung up the phone. Seeing Lu Tingting's curious look, he briefly explained the matter.

Hearing that it was nothing serious, Lu Tingting didn't ask any more questions.

After all, Su Mingzhe had "evil intentions" towards Zhong Xiaoqin, and Wu Xu was still here, so it was really inconvenient to chat more.

On the other side, Zhu Mengru wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, her eyes full of resentment.

What kind of wealthy family are these? They give away membership cards worth hundreds of thousands of dollars just like that. They really don’t take money seriously.

The most important thing is that I almost offended someone.

After calming down, Zhu Mengru finally realized that she should go to the private room, apologize to Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin, and solve the problem.

If he went there, he might be given the cold shoulder by the two women, or he might be humiliated, or even have water thrown on his face.

She made mental predictions about what might happen and prepared herself mentally.

Make up your mind to appear sincere.

Anyway, she had risked being humiliated by the two women in order to solve the problem.

As long as the problem can be solved, everything can be discussed.

In the elegant room.

Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin watched the general manager of the restaurant come in. After seeing the two of them, his face turned grim, but he did not get angry. Instead, he served a plate of dessert salad and left.

Zhong Xiaoqin was somewhat puzzled:
"Jia Jia, this old witch is crazy, what does it mean to send a salad?"

"do not know."

Gu Jia couldn't guess what the restaurant general manager meant by sending a plate of salad.

Zhong Xiaoqin opened her mind and pondered:

"Could it be that she is too embarrassed to apologize to us, so she uses this as a representation?"

"Maybe."

Although Gu Jia is quite familiar with the ways of the world, she is young and has little experience after all.

The two people discussed slowly, and after a few minutes, they heard someone knocking on the door.

"Please come in."

Zhong Xiaoqin called out, and then the "old witch" walked in with a smile on her face.

The 'old witch' Zhu Mengru is not very old, just over 30 years old. She must have been as beautiful as a flower and as light as a swallow when she was young. Unfortunately, she did not take good care of her body after getting married and having children.

The slim and graceful figure that once weighed 90 kilograms has now increased to 150 kilograms.

Although her beautiful face from her youth can still be seen, the fat on her face makes her look more like a "landlady".

Seeing that both Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin were treating her coldly, Zhu Mengru encouraged herself in her heart, but she didn't know that both sides were in a situation where "the wolf is afraid of both ends".

"Jia Jia, Xiao Qin, Sister Zhu apologizes to you for what happened in the past..."
