Chapter 185
“Why do you have no sympathy at all? Didn’t you see that I was just bullied? A hundred thousand yuan may be nothing to you, but it’s an astronomical figure to me. Can’t you just skip one meal and help me pay back the scoundrel and set me free? I’ll work to repay the money.” The woman still blocked Xu Ke’s way, not budging an inch.
“That’s your business, what’s it got to do with me? I’ll say it one last time, get out of the way!” Xu Ke looked coldly at the woman in front of him, his eyes filled with disgust.
“I won’t move. If you don’t help me pay out this hundred thousand yuan today, I won’t let you pass.” The woman continued to stand in front of Xu Ke, her eyes flickering but unyielding.
“Just now you were putting on a pretense of being chaste and virtuous, and now you’ve run over here to ask for money in the blink of an eye. What is this? Putting up a chastity shrine while being a whore, your shamelessness is truly eye-opening.” The man who was just entangled with the woman stood beside Xu Ke, offering him his utmost sympathy.
“Buddy, you’re really unlucky to encounter such a female delinquent in this place, tsk tsk tsk, remember to check the almanac before going out next time.” The man patted Xu Ke’s shoulder and said.
At this moment, the restaurant manager who had been delayed finally came out. He first glanced at the arrogant man in a suit, then at the impatient Xu Ke, and then turned to start criticizing the woman, “What is this nonsense, causing trouble on your first day at work, do you even want this job or not? If you can’t do it, then just get out early.” The male manager said.
“Why are you kicking me out? This wasn’t my fault, that man suddenly bumped into me while I was serving, spilling the soup all over him, and then inexplicably demanded compensation from me. It’s all because of him causing trouble, what does it have to do with me?” The woman frowned as if she had suffered a great injustice.
“This incident is our fault, giving both of you an unpleasant dining experience, we will definitely compensate for it, and today all expenditures will be on the house, we are truly sorry.” The manager bowed apologetically to the two men, and then seeing the main female character in this incident still standing stiffly with no response, his temper flared up.
“What are you still standing there for, hurry up and apologize to them.” The male manager gave the woman a hard pull, shooting her a warning glance.
“Why should I apologize? I don’t believe I did anything wrong, why should I apologize? I won’t apologize.” The female server said stubbornly, her eyes darting back and forth between the man and Xu Ke.
“People without basic professional ethics like this should not remain in their positions.” Xu Ke gave the male manager a cold look, lifted his foot and was about to leave, but was once again blocked by the female server.
“You can’t leave now, you haven’t given me the hundred thousand yuan yet, you can’t go anywhere.”
“When did I agree to give you money?” Xu Ke said coldly.
“Just now, you didn’t deny giving me money, which means you agreed. Do you want to renege and not acknowledge it?” The woman looked at Xu Ke, her expression sour, as if Xu Ke were a hypocrite and a true villain.
“Hmph, I really don’t know how someone like you passed the training, or did you just skip the training and come straight to work?” Xu Ke, disinclined to engage with this confused person, directly turned to target the manager.
“What kind of person are you, promising something and not following through, now even threatening people, are you even a man? You’re just a wicked capitalist, someone like you will face retribution sooner or later.” The woman said with her hands on her hips to Xu Ke, her expression filled with mockery and disdain.
“Can you just shut up, haven’t you already caused enough trouble? Do you want our restaurant to close down? I’m announcing from today, you don’t need to come to work anymore, you’re fired, and after your shift, go to the finance office to get your pay, you don’t need to come back in this life.” The manager was obviously infuriated by the woman’s actions, breathing heavily.
“You’re firing me? Why are you firing me, I didn’t do anything wrong, and you know I need to save for tuition, if you fire me, I won’t have money to pay my tuition, what did I do to offend you, why do you have to take things to such extremes?” The woman’s expression drooped, looking particularly gloomy.
“If I don’t fire you, this restaurant will go under with you. Take your money and leave, don’t be an eyesore in front of me.” The male manager frowned tightly, looking like he was shooing away the plague.
Seeing that the situation had escalated and no longer involved him, Xu Ke intended to leave but was suddenly embraced by the woman clinging to his legs.
“No one’s leaving today, and neither can you, because of you I got fired, you need to compensate me, if you don’t give me a satisfying answer today, I won’t let you leave, wherever you go, I’ll go.” The woman clung to Xu Ke’s legs, and even wrapped her legs around his, like a koala bear, determined to latch onto Xu Ke.
“My patience has run out, if you don’t let go, don’t blame me for hitting a woman.” Xu Ke looked coldly at the woman clinging to his legs, a thin layer of menace rising in his gaze.
The woman’s heart trembled for a moment under Xu Ke’s gaze, but she quickly steadied herself. “I won’t let go, you got me fired, so there’s no way I’m letting you go, unless you can find me a job with the same salary, otherwise I’ll keep pestering you till the end of time, let’s see who gives in first.”
Xu Ke’s patience had reached its limit at this point, “You brought this on yourself,” Xu Ke said coldly, then seen thrusting his lower body, he wrenched free from the woman’s grip, but not stopping there, the moment he was free, he delivered a swift kick to the woman’s chin.
