章 25: Chapter 25
編集者: Dragon Boat Translation
Ling Ye was a straightforward young man, and he went straight to the point, "Xue'er, Jiang Moxi helped me a great deal, so please, for my sake, don't trouble her anymore."
"What did she do to help you?"
Li Xue'er looked unwilling.
That day, she and other students only saw Ling Ye answer a phone call and hurriedly leave. Later, something happened at the motorcycle parking area, but they couldn't hear it clearly due to the distance.
Finally, they saw Jiang Moxi riding Ling Ye's motorcycle and taking him away.
So, until now, they were still unclear about what happened that day.
But Ling Ye didn't want to mention the car accident involving his mother; it was still too painful for him.
So he simply said, "In any case, she helped me a lot. Just get along with her nicely for my sake."
Li Xue'er kept a straight face and glanced at a certain part of Ling Ye's backpack, muttering in her heart, "For the sake of him? Why should I do anything for his sake when he uses a clip to fix his broken backpack strap How dare he still has the audacity to pursue me with such a shabby appearance?"
If it wasn't for the fact that Ling Ye accompanied his confessions with a group of friends, causing Li Xue'er to be the envy of many, she wouldn't have bothered pretending to be too focused on studying to avoid romantic pursuits.
So, why should she show him any respect when he was just a poor guy?
Li Xue'er almost couldn't contain her emotions and wanted to say all the things she had kept in her heart for a long time. However, the bell for the class rang.
Ling Ye hurriedly said, "Xue'er, I'll take it as you agreed. I'll leave now, so it won't delay your class."
Then, he left with his friends, striding away.
Ling Ye arrived swiftly and departed just as quickly.
But this time, it caused quite a bit of trouble for Li Xue'er.
Because her classmates witnessed Ling Ye buying milk tea for Jiang Moxi as well, they suspected that in Ling Ye's mind, Jiang Moxi and Li Xue'er were on equal footing.
Some even secretly bet that soon, Jiang Moxi's status would surpass Li Xue'er's.
Facing these speculations, Li Xue'er felt extremely disdainful.
How could an ugly duckling be compared to her?
However, these speculations also made Li Xue'er clearly realize that Ling Ye was definitely unreliable.
Not only were his family circumstances lacking, but his feelings for her were also impure!
She even used to think that if Ling Ye succeeded in the future, she might reluctantly accept him.
But now, she felt like her brain had been kicked by a donkey for even having such a thought!
In the end, she had to deal with Jiang Moxi by herself.
After much thought, she believed the New Year's joint celebration of the two universities was the perfect opportunity...
..
As night fell, Jiang Moxi returned to her night shift job once more.
To her surprise, just after changing into her uniform, the manager informed her that from today onwards, she would be serving on the ninth floor.
For a moment, the other hostesses in the changing room looked at her with envy.
"Oh my, Jiang Moxi, did you save the universe in your previous life? Not only did you avoid going to jail for hitting a customer, but you also got promoted to the ninth floor as a service staff!"
"I heard that the ninth floor is Young Master Ye's private room, and it only caters to his close friends. Besides having fewer tasks, the salary and tips are also surprisingly high."
Someone asked her directly, "Many of us here are waiting in line for a promotion to the ninth floor, but it's taking forever. Jiang Moxi, can you share the secret to getting promoted?"
Another person chimed in, "I guess some people may not be the prettiest, but they must be good at certain skills, right?"
These two individuals who chimed in were Wang Anqi and Li Qin, the former being Jiang Moxi's colleague, and the latter was her former team leader.
After becoming a team leader, Li Qin thought she would be the next one to get promoted to the ninth floor. Typically, only those who become team leaders and demonstrate their ability to handle emergencies are considered for the ninth floor to provide better service to prestigious clients.
But she never expected that this rare opportunity would be snatched away by Jiang Moxi, who had recently joined the night establishment.
Naturally, Li Qin was unwilling.
However, she didn't dare to question the manager's decision, fearing that she might get fired, so she could only vent her frustration on Jiang Moxi.
Wang Anqi, like Li Qin, had also become a team leader and had been eagerly anticipating a promotion to the ninth floor.
Therefore, she was now being equally spiteful towards Jiang Moxi, just like Li Qin.
"Can you believe someone would want her, even though she's so ugly?"
"They all look the same once they're under the sheets."
But no matter how they discussed, Jiang Moxi remained indifferent and focused on folding her clothes.
At that moment, the changing room door opened, and Yu Na walked in.
The previous night, she had assisted Chen Haobin in creating a false alibi, which led to her being detained for half a day and having to pay a substantial fine before finally being released.
So, as soon as she came out, she returned to Nightless City to earn some money quickly and make up for the fine she had to pay.
"Why is everyone gathered here? What are you all talking about?" Yu Na, who had just entered the dressing room for the first time, was quite curious.
However, she quickly noticed Jiang Moxi, who had just finished folding her clothes and was about to leave, locking her locker.
Even though Jiang Moxi had left her at the police station the previous night and ignored her, resulting in her detention and fine, she couldn't hold any grudges against Jiang Moxi, not when her young uncle was Third Master Fu.
Having such an influential young uncle, she couldn't help but hold Jiang Moxi in high regard.
If only Jiang Moxi could favor her a bit more, that would be even better.
A flicker of resentment flashed across Yu Na's face, quickly replaced by a flattering smile.
"Moxi, is your young uncle coming over tonight? How about you ask him to greet everyone here and arrange for the two of us to work on the ninth floor? That way, you won't have to work so hard."
She approached Jiang Moxi with a smile, even wanting to hook her arm.
But this time, Jiang Moxi didn't even let her touch her arm. She pulled her hand away without even looking at Yu Na and left the dressing room on her own.
Yu Na wasn't ready to give up and wanted to catch up to her.
As the saying goes, constant dropping wears away a stone.
Sooner or later, Jiang Moxi would be moved by her and then she would be favored.
However, her words just now also shocked the others in the dressing room.
They were hesitant to ask directly in front of Jiang Moxi just now, but now that she had left, they quickly held onto Yu Na.
"Yu Na, what did you mean just now? Is Jiang Moxi's young uncle really influential?" Wang Anqi was the first to ask.
Li Qin muttered, "Could her young uncle be the manager? Oh no, if her young uncle is the manager, I shouldn't have teased her just now."
Yes, they all thought that if Jiang Moxi really had powerful connections, she wouldn't be working as a waitress in Nightless City.
So, at most, her young uncle could be someone at the manager level.
"He's not just the manager. Make a bigger guess!" Yu Na teased them.
"Not the manager? Could it be the Nightless City's general manager?" Li Qin's expression changed.
But Yu Na shook her head.
Wang Anqi furrowed her brow and said, "The Nightless City's acting CEO is the highest position, right? Her young uncle couldn't possibly be Ye Chen, right?"
With an air of superiority, Yu Na smiled mysteriously, "Correct, it's at the same level as Ye Chen."
"Who?" Wang Anqi asked, pursuing an answer.
With a mischievous smile, Yu Na replied, "Third Master Fu!"
