Su Huixian kindly said, âSu Bei, if youâre going to attend an elderâs birthday banquet, you might not be able to present such a piece of calligraphy. Why donât you change it to something better? Miss Liao is here, and she can give you some pointers to prevent you from embarrassing yourself with a piece of unknown calligraphy.â
When Su Bei heard Su Huixian talking to her, she raised her head and looked at her blankly. âWhat did you say?â
Su Huixian bit her lip angrily. Su Bei had completely turned a deaf ear to what she just said?
Qiu Minxuan chimed in, âHuixian is advising you that if you want to give a gift, you should choose something good. Donât let others look down on you.â
Su Bei glanced at Qiu Minxuan but did not say anything. She continued to read her magazine. How could a follower of Su Huixian expect a response from Su Bei?
Sorry, she wasnât even qualified to argue with Su Bei.
Seeing how rude Su Bei was, Qiu Minxuan exploded in anger. Su Huixian reached out to stop her and said to Su Bei, âIf you attend the birthday banquet of an elder with status and power but present a gift that doesnât match his status, wouldnât that be a humiliation to him?â
She was not telling Su Bei this out of goodwill. She just wanted to show off her glib tongue. Furthermore, she knew that the more she spoke, the more Su Bei would insist on her opinion. She would let Su Bei insist on going. The further she went down the wrong path, the more she would cry in the end.
Su Bei lazily put down the magazine and said to Su Huixian, âAn elder with status and power naturally knows that a gift is just a token of appreciation and not something that has to be compared. The more intelligent you are, the better youâll understand this point. Those who donât understand donât have to understand.â
Those words were just short of pointing at her nose and saying that Su Huixian was an idiot without any status.
âThen take your rubbish and go embarrass yourself at the scene.â Qiu Minxuan helped Su Huixian to say what she wanted to say but could not bring herself to say.
âEven if itâs embarrassing, I didnât step on your tail, right? Why are you so anxious? The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is,â Su Bei said indifferently and lazily.
Qiu Minxuanâs face turned red.
Liao Xintong tried to ease the tension between them. âForget it. Thereâs no need to argue over such a small matter. Why donât we pay the bill first?â
At this moment, a small scale chaos had started in the shop. It turned out that after the young man left, he had called the higher-ups and asked them to immediately arrange for people to sort out the issues in the shop and deal with the shop assistant.
At this moment, Mr. Qiao, the head of the company, had personally come to the shop to deal with the problems that the young boss had raised over the phone.
When Liao Xintong and Su Huixian went to pay the bill, it was Mr. Qiao who personally received them. He said in neither a servile nor an overbearing manner, â800,000 yuan. Are you paying by card or cash?â
âOf course, Iâm paying with a credit card,â said Su Huixian. âHuh, thatâs not right. Didnât you say that there was a discount of 400,000 yuan? Why is it the original price instead?â
âIâm sorry, but this discount is for VVIP customers. Other customers donât have such a discount.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Seeing that he did not recognize her, Su Huixian did not mind and said with a smile, âMiss Liao Xintong, who came with me, is a VVIP customer of the shop.. Thatâs why the assistant in charge said that he would give us this discount.â
