Chapter 225: Gifts
Cai Xiaofen, the foreman, saw that Hong Feng had a tough attitude and was arrogant, although he hated this guy who thought he was the best in the world because of his little power, but he also didn't dare to offend him easily, so he had to endure the dissatisfaction and disgust in his heart, and said with a reluctant smile on his face: "I'm sorry Dean Hong, I really can't be the master of this matter, so I'll go and ask our manager." β
Saying that, Cai Xiaofen politely bowed slightly to everyone, then turned around and walked away.
"I don't know how this hotel owner does business? actually invited such an ignorant person to be the foreman. Seeing Cai Xiaofen turn around and walk away, Hong Fengwu said with some annoyance, he didn't realize what a qualityless person he was!
"That's it, I think if the hotel staff are so ignorant, this hotel will close sooner or later!" Xu Yueting immediately echoed.
"People do business right, as long as everyone abides by the rules, what can't they do?" Xia Yunjie didn't want to get involved in this matter, but seeing that Hong Feng's attitude was becoming more and more arrogant and his approach was becoming more and more excessive, he couldn't look past it after all, and couldn't help but sneer.
"Jokes, everybody follows the rules? Xiao Xia, you are still young and too naΓ―ve. In this world, power and money are everything! Do you think the hotel owner will apologize and cook for us himself? That's the reality! Hong Feng saw that Xia Yunjie was sarcastic, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he counted unceremoniously.
"Then do you think it's interesting to have such a forced court dish? Do you feel a sense of accomplishment in this way? Xia Yunjie asked with disdain.
Although it was a simple rhetorical question, it pierced people's hearts like the tip of a needle, making most people feel a little ashamed, and also made Hong Feng angry and reprimanded: "Xiao Xia, what do you mean by this? This kind of activity in the hotel is nothing more than a gimmick, are we stupid to let them lead the way by the nose? Young and ignorant, don't talk nonsense. β
"Hey, Dean Hong, please pay attention to what you say, Xia Yunjie is my friend!" Xia Yunjie saw that Hong Feng actually ridiculed him for being ignorant, and told him not to talk nonsense, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and just about to open his mouth to fight back, Shen Liti already said with an unhappy face.
Seeing Shen Liti blaming Hong Feng with an unhappy expression, the trace of anger in Xia Yunjie's heart disappeared without a trace in an instant, and Hong Feng's face was inevitably a little ugly.
He really didn't expect that in Shen Liti's mind, his status was not as good as that of a little god.
"Hehe, today is Shen Liti's birthday, what are you talking about all this messy thing? What are you doing stupidly, let's all take a seat. Hey, Shen Liti, you're a birthday star tonight, why do you need me to greet you? Sisi is a clever woman, seeing that the atmosphere is a little wrong, especially Hong Feng's face is even more ugly, she hurriedly said with a smile.
As soon as Sisi interrupted like this, the atmosphere suddenly warmed up again. Everyone sat down with a smile, and although Hong Feng was very unhappy, he didn't have a good seizure at this time, so he had to take a seat too.
Shen Liti is tonight's birthday star, of course, she sits on the main seat, and the rest are casual. However, intentionally or unintentionally, everyone gave up the position next to Shen Liti to Hong Feng, especially Xu Yueting unabashedly pressed Hong Feng directly to the seat next to Shen Liti. The building near the water got the moon first, Hong Feng was naturally anxious, and when he saw this, he was not humble at all and sat down next to Shen Liti as Shen Liti's boyfriend.
On the other hand, Xia Yunjie except for Shen Liti who gave him an apologetic look, Sisi was a little concerned about him, and pulled him to sit next to his seat, but he was the last seat with his back to the box door.
But this is also normal, the people in the box are Xia Yunjie is the youngest and the most ordinary, does he not sit in the last seat, will Dean Hong Fenghong sit?
"Xiao Xia, they all call you master, saying that you know a little bit about the art of Zhou Yi divination, you won't really take this as a career, right?" After everyone sat down, Hong Feng was still worried in his heart, and deliberately looked at Xia Yunjie and asked.
"Not really!" Shen Liti didn't wait for Xia Yunjie to answer, so she hurriedly said.
Seeing Shen Liti rushing to answer, Hong Feng naturally felt a little unhappy in his heart, and immediately pretended to be curious and asked, "Then I don't know what kind of profession Xiao Xia is engaged in now?" β
When Hong Feng asked, Shen Liti suddenly choked. The word unemployment, she really can't say. First, he didn't want others to look down on Xia Yunjie, and secondly, he was afraid that Xia Yunjie would not be able to get over his face.
However, Xia Yunjie himself didn't care about these at all, and said with a faint smile when he heard this: "Temporarily unemployed." β
"It's hard to find a job these days, I don't know what kind of education and major you have, Xiaoxia? I'm a doctor, and I'm quite well connected, and since you're a friend of Litty, I'm happy to help. Hong Feng heard that Xia Yunjie didn't even have a job at the moment, and he was as happy as drinking iced tea in the summer, but he pretended to be enthusiastic on the surface.
"Xiao Xia, you have met a noble person today. Dean Hong is very well-connected in Jiangzhou City, and since he is willing to help, you don't have to worry about your work. Lu Yuanchao said with a smile, with a hint of superiority in his tone.
"No need, I think as long as you work hard to find it, you can always find a job." Xia Yunjie said lightly.
"Xiao Xia, you're really a bit stupid. It's rare for Dean Hong to be willing to help, why don't you know how to cherish it? Do you think it's easy to find a job these days? Xu Yueting seemed to be kind enough to count the land, but in fact, she belittled Xia Yunjie more and more.
"Okay, Yueting, Yun Jie is very smart and hardworking, I believe he will definitely get ahead in the future, so don't talk about work anymore." Shen Liti couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when she saw that Xu Yueting and the others seemed to be well-intentioned, but in fact they were all in a lofty posture, and before Xia Yunjie could speak, she already said with an unhappy face.
"Really, aren't we also kind enough to help Xiao Xia and care about him!" Xu Yueting saw that Shen Liti seemed to be a little unhappy, so she muttered a word, but did not continue after all. And Hong Feng saw that Shen Liti seemed to be particularly concerned about Xia Yunjie, so he naturally became more and more unhappy in his heart, and his gaze became more and more cold when he saw Xia Yunjie, and he couldn't wait to kick him out of the box. It's just that in front of so many people, Hong Feng naturally can't do such a dishonorable thing, and it's not good to continue to belittle Xia Yunjie with things like work.
"Hehe, I took the liberty of not taking into account that young people have stronger self-esteem." Hong Feng said in a playful tone, then took out a beautiful gift bag from the PRADA leather bag, and handed it to Shen Liti as soon as he spoke: "Liti, today is also your birthday temporarily, and I came in a hurry, and I didn't prepare any good gifts, this birthday gift is for you, I wish you a happy birthday, more and more youthful and beautiful!" β
"Thank you!" Shen Liti saw Hong Feng giving her birthday gift in front of everyone, and while taking the gift, she subconsciously glanced at Xia Yunjie, but she was inexplicably a little weak in her heart, as if she was afraid that he would misunderstand.
Although Shen Liti's movements were not obvious, they still fell in Hong Feng's eyes, which made him jealous, but on the surface, he still smiled at Shen Liti very gentlemanly: "It's my honor, I hope you like it." β
"Wow, the packaging is so shrewd, and the gift inside must be precious. Liti, you hurry up and open it, and let us open our eyes, what good things Dean Hong has sent. Xu Yueting also noticed Shen Liti's subconscious glance at Xia Yunjie, and deliberately looked forward to it with a look of surprise.
"Let's open it and take a look, we're curious too!" Sisi and the others also coaxed.
Shen Liti saw that everyone was coaxing, so she had to reluctantly open the gift bag. Inside is a beautiful jewelry box, and when the jewelry box is opened, it is a beautifully crafted platinum diamond necklace.
The diamond refracted a dazzling light in the crystal light, and the eyes of all the women suddenly lit up, and they couldn't help but say "wow", while the men all showed a meaningful smile.
A platinum diamond necklace was given on a small birthday, which shows that Dean Hong Feng is bound to Shen Liti!
Thinking of this, the two flight attendants and the flight attendant's boyfriend all glanced at Xia Yunjie with pitiful eyes.
One is the vice president of the Municipal People's Hospital, a returnee high-achieving student, but the other is just an unemployed vagrant, a little god. The latter, no matter how you look at it, is just a tragic figure who serves as a foil.
Seeing that the women were amazed and the men showed a meaningful smile at him, Hong Feng couldn't help but be full of ambition and pride, as if he had seen Shen Liti throw herself into his arms with an excited face.
Isn't it just a flight attendant? He Hong Feng still didn't believe that with his own identity and such a precious "sugar-coated cannonball", he would not be able to subdue her?
As for Xia Yunjie, to hell with him! Just because he is an unemployed vagrant, he is qualified to compete with him for a woman?
"Dean Hong, this gift is too precious, I can't accept it!" However, just as Hong Feng was secretly complacent and thinking about it, Shen Liti's cold words were like a basin of cold water pouring him cold.
"It's not precious, it's not precious, it's just a trinket." Hong Feng said hurriedly.
"It may be just a trinket for you, but it is too precious for a small staff like me who gets a salary, thank you for your kindness, I really can't accept this gift." Shen Liti still refused to accept it.
Just as the two were pushing each other, Cai Xiaofen walked in with a man who was five big and three thick, but he was wearing a brand-name suit and a manager sign on his chest.
This manager is none other than Ren Yongqiang's most trusted younger brother and his playmate in the village, Ah Biao. When Ren Yongqiang was the boss of the thief gang, Ah Biao was his personal bodyguard and driver.
Hong Feng saw Cai Xiaofeng and the manager of the catering department coming in, and hurriedly took the opportunity to push the gift back, and then said to Ah Biao: "You are the manager here, my name is Hong Feng, this is my business card." Today is my friend's birthday, please tell your boss and ask him to help us make a table of authentic palace dishes, the price is not a problem. β
