Jin Youli: "Hey, the proprietress is here just in time. Your employee has sticky fingers and stole my things."
As soon as she spoke, whispers erupted around them, and the guests’ eyes fixed on Mo Qingyun with strange looks.
"May I ask what you lost?"
"My ring. I was still wearing it when I went to the restroom, and it was gone when I came back. She must have stolen it!"
Jin Youli spoke while extending her hand, as if a ring was truly missing from that finger.
"Do you have any evidence?"
Jin Youli stated with great certainty, "I saw her coming out of my private room. If it's not on her, it must be in the trash bag in her hand!"
Sister Hong sighed. If an employee of the establishment truly took a guest's belongings, it would be a grave offense. Apologies would not be enough; their reputation would likely be ruined, and Mo Qingyun would be unable to continue working there.
Mo Qingyun dropped the trash bag and quickly pulled out the pen and paper she always carried. She nervously wrote, "I didn't take it."
Jin Youli finally realized that the girl was indeed mute, but she still insisted that this mute girl must have stolen it!
Jin Youli lunged forward and searched her without mercy, but found nothing.
"Then it must be in the trash bag!"
With that, Jin Youli grabbed the trash bag and inverted it. Instantly, a cascade of garbage poured out, some even falling near Mo Qingyun's feet.
Everyone stared at the trash on the floor, hoping to see something shiny that would prove this mute girl was a thief. Unfortunately, neither the server nor Sister Hong found Jin Youli's ring in the pile of garbage.
Jin Youli was dumbfounded. Had she made a mistake?
Mo Qingyun glanced at Sister Hong, but Sister Hong remained silent. The guests behind her still believed that this unfamiliar girl had hidden the ring somewhere.
Mo Qingyun silently crouched on the ground, picking up the trash piece by piece and putting it back into the trash bag. What would it feel like to pick up garbage at the feet of these distinguished guests?
At this moment, a man emerged from the crowd. He pulled Mo Qingyun, who was on the ground, to her feet. Only Ou Yunchen could make wealthy women's eyes light up!
Ou Yunchen: "Get up, stop picking that up."
Mo Qingyun looked up at Ou Yunchen. She didn't know if anyone among these people believed she wasn't a thief, but at this moment, she actually hoped the only man who came to help her believed her.
Ou Yunchen beckoned to a server from behind the crowd. Ah Ming scurried over and pulled out a ring.
Jin Youli quickly leaned in, looking at the server and then at Ou Yunchen in disbelief.
"The server found this by the sink in the restroom. Is it yours?"
"It's mine!"
As Jin Youli said this, she realized she had truly misunderstood the young woman. She had taken it off herself while washing her hands, but she had thought she had taken it off before going to the restroom.
Sister Hong: "Since it's found, it was a misunderstanding. Everything's fine, everyone continue to enjoy yourselves!"
Jin Youli wanted to stop Ou Yunchen as he was about to leave, but Ou Yunchen smiled at her. Clearly, she had missed out on their first cocktail of the night with Ou Yunchen. Fortunately, this misunderstanding allowed Ou Yunchen to escape the troublesome Jin Youli without having to make a choice.
Ou Yunchen quickly caught up to Mo Qingyun, who was leaving alone. When Mo Qingyun turned around, Ou Yunchen saw her red-rimmed eyes. The pathetic mute girl, publicly humiliated, only dared to secretly wipe away her tears of grievance as she left. Ha, a mute girl's tears were truly worthless.
Mo Qingyun had expected to hear some words of comfort from Ou Yunchen, but he only said coldly, "There's a cart in the kitchen. Push it when you take out the trash, and don't drop garbage everywhere anymore."
With that, Ou Yunchen turned and walked away潇洒ly. Mo Qingyun, however, stood there, stunned for a moment.
Ou Yunchen arrived at Mrs. Su's place. Sister Hong leaned against the doorframe, smiling as she watched Ou Yunchen approach. As he passed, she whispered, "Good choice!"
Ou Yunchen cupped Mrs. Su's face and looked at it from side to side. In less than a second, he put on a show of concern.
"Did you really get plastic surgery?"
Mrs. Su nodded. She was now eager to tell Ou Yunchen which parts she had had done and how the plastic surgeon had described how beautiful she would be once she recovered.
"Does it still hurt?"
"A little. I have to take painkillers every day, and I can only drink through a straw." Mrs. Su looked at Ou Yunchen plaintively.
Ou Yunchen looked at the woman helplessly. Would doing this really win back her husband's love?
"Men are visual creatures. I can't let them see my old face, can I? If there's no novelty, is that also not good?"
Ou Yunchen smiled, "Then I truly look forward to seeing your new face."
"What would you like to drink tonight?"
"Let me think..." Mrs. Su was lucky. She didn't know that the first drink couldn't be ordered; usually, the first drink was whatever Ou Yunchen mixed.
"I want something like 'Dream Come True'!"
"No problem!"
On the other side, Mo Qingyun arrived at the kitchen.
The chef, while peeling vegetables, asked, "Hey? Xiao Yun, why are you here?"
Mo Qingyun took out her pen and paper. "I've come to borrow a cart."
"A cart? We don't have a cart here."
Mo Qingyun was wondering if Ou Yunchen had said there was a cart in the kitchen. At that moment, another chef entered carrying a large basin of washed vegetables.
The other chef said, "There's a cart someone bought and it's stored in the warehouse. We were wondering why it was delivered to the kitchen. You can take it."
Mo Qingyun nodded and left. The chefs were still sighing, thinking what a pity it was for such a beautiful girl to be mute.
At four in the morning, Athena was already preparing for cleanup. The bar, devoid of guests, had become desolate. Sister Hong brought a stool and sat next to Ou Yunchen. They both stared blankly at the stage.
Ou Yunchen: "Are Mrs. Su and you really good friends?"
Sister Hong turned her head and looked at Ou Yunchen seriously. "What, is Mrs. Su your next target?"
Ou Yunchen continued to gaze at the stage blankly, but his mind was already plotting his revenge.
"You taught me that they are not just guests, but also women. If I want to control them, I need to understand them."
Sister Hong chuckled softly. She thought Ou Yunchen was interested in Mrs. Su.
However, this was also opportune. The other side of the bar was for collecting various information brought by these women, an invisible network encompassing all sectors of the country. Since Mrs. Su was also planning how to regain control of the Su Group, it wouldn't hurt for Ou Yunchen to help her, and in the process, gain more business secrets.
Sister Hong stood up and, before leaving, said, "Mrs. Su asked me to pick someone up at the airport tomorrow, but I have other arrangements. Why don't you go for me?"
Ou Yunchen tilted his head. This was the first time he was allowed to interact with VIP guests privately, but it suited him perfectly. He indeed needed to make good use of this lady from a top wealthy family.
"Pick up whom?"
Sister Hong didn't look back, calling out as she walked away, "Her daughter, Su Ruiyi."
