"I’m fine, don’t worry. By the way, Jingren, that Mr. Qin who helped you mix drinks last night, what kind of relationship do you have with him?" Although it might seem a bit gossipy, her curiosity triumphed.
"How do you know?" Qi Jingren asked.
"This morning he was having breakfast with Young Master Jue, talking about mixing drinks for you last night, and that guy nad Song Zhike, he seems to know you well too. You know them well, right?"
There was silence on the line for three or four seconds before Qi Jingren spoke, "They’re all people I’ve t during the past six months working at Ciaos. Maybe it’s because my bartending attracted quite a few custors, so they ca over to say hi. Qin Shaobai and Song Zhike are both shareholders of Ciaos, and they’re really tight with the boss, that’s how it is."
I see.
Su Jiuyi nodded. Just as she was about to continue chatting, a commotion suddenly ca through the receiver, followed by Qi Jingren’s voice, "Let’s leave it for now, Jiuyi, there’s sothing I need to deal with here, I’ll get in touch later, bye."
Before she could respond, the call was cut off.
Su Jiuyi was left wide awake by the phone call. She lazily yawned and then started looking at today’s work schedule posted on the wall since yesterday.
"Water the garden from 8:30 to 9:30 in the morning, and clean the hall from 10:00 to 11:30."
She glanced at the clock on the wall and couldn’t help but be surprised.
It was already 8:28!
Just about to exceed the twenty-minute break ti!
If soone has a particularly unlucky morning, then the whole day might be especially unfortunate.
Su Jiuyi’s newly coined wise saying.
When she found the bucket and sprinkler in the utility room and ran to the garden, she was already nearly ten minutes late.
Many maids were working in their assigned areas, and the housekeeper was waiting for her in a piece of the garden.
"Uh..." Su Jiuyi lowered her head in embarrassnt, ready to accept the consequences.
Sure enough, a stream of angry yelling accompanied by spit flew at her, and she almost couldn’t handle it.
Being a maid for the Shi Family is really tough, she suddenly thought maybe she should go back to Ciaos to practice her alcohol tolerance; she could even listen to the gossip about those business elites from her coworkers. Even though the manager wasn’t the friendliest leader, at least he hadn’t gotten angry at her.
Life is really hard now.
After barely enduring the housekeeper’s scolding and watching the housekeeper’s figure recede, Su Jiuyi sighed.
"Seems like you’re not quite suited for the work here, huh." A calm voice sounded beside her.
Su Jiuyi looked toward the source of the voice, and there was Song Zhike standing leisurely beside the grape arbor, arms crossed and wearing a warm smile.
"Mm." She always treated strangers a bit coldly, mainly because her environnt growing up made her a slow-to-warm person.
"He told about the situation with you and Jue." Song Zhike said, "I’ll keep it a secret, and I’ll help you catch the mastermind behind all this quickly."
Su Jiuyi didn’t know what to say, and after a mont of silence, she finally just uttered, "Thank you."
"No need to be so polite. In a way, you’re still my sister, and I’m your brother-in-law, haha." Song Zhike laughed freely.
"In a way?" she asked.
"Yes, I know you don’t get along with the Su Family, so I won’t hide it from you." He said, "My marriage with Su Manning, I’ll find a way to annul it eventually, so for now, it’s just nominal."
