‘The other women in the room cried out in surprise. They hurriedly got up to check on her.
Having fallen on the ground, the woman instantly became furious. She stood up and glared at Rong Si. “You brat! Why are you acting so high and mighty? You look just like a pretty prostitute. Aren’t you a waiter here just to sell yourself?”
Rong Si looked down at her, his handsome eyes cold and inviolable. “Please show some respect.”
“Are you still pretending? I fell because of your little stunt just now. I’m going to settle this with you!”
The noise in the private room attracted the manager. Seeing the slightly disheveled woman, he hurriedly smiled and said, “Miss Fang, this child is new here. He hasn’t even been here for two days, so he doesn’t know how to serve such fine customers as yourself. Please be understanding.”
“Hmph!” The woman tidied up the fox fur scarf on her shoulders and arrogantly glanced at Rong Si. “Forget it! For the sake of the manager, I won’t argue with you. But I also hope for your sake that your attitude will be better next time, and he understands the customers here are gods.”
Rong Si understood what she meant. She wanted him to agree to her unreasonable request the next time and to treat her like a god.
“Well, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and agree!” the manager urged Rong Si.
Rong Si pursed his lips and refused to speak.
“You brat, I think you’re deaf! Miss Fang, please continue to enjoy your stay here. I’ll teach this insensible brat a lesson for you. Don’t worry!” The manager was a little displeased. After apologizing to the woman with an apologetic smile, he left the room with Rong Si.
‘When they were outside, the manager turned to look at Rong Si and reprimanded him, “Since you’re working here, you must serve the customers according to their wishes!
“If you make the customers unhappy again, your bonus for this month will be gone.” If it were any other ordinary employee, the manager would have already given them a tongue-lashing. However, Rong Si was really good-looking. The manager hoped that he might be able to nurture this boy into
something more.
So, he couldn’t reprimand Rong Si too much, What if he quit?
Rong Si merely nodded and said nothing.
‘The manager wasn’t sure if Rong Si was agreeing or not. He patted him on the shoulder and said, “Kid, you have potential, and I think highly of you. Work hard. You’ll get your salary and bonus.”
After the manager left, Rong Si leaned against the wall of the corridor and lowered his head. The lighting here was dim, so the expression on his face could not be seen clearly. His emotions were only visible in his tense jaw.
Although he might not like this place, he had to do it for the sake of the high salary. Besides, Little Jiu would definitely not come to such a place. If he stayed here, she would not discover him.
Rong Si leaned his head against the wall and heavily closed his eyes.
Thinking of something, he took out a small pocket watch from his shirt pocket. After opening it, he looked at the photos of his mother and Little Jiu.
These photos had been taken a few years ago. Both his mother and Little Jiu were smiling at the camera. His mother’s smile was as gentle as usual while Little Jiu’s smile was sweet and radiant.
Little Jiu’s smile was so infectious that his mood improved every time he saw it. Every time he was in a bad mood, seeing her smile just had that kind of power.
Rong Si stared at the photos for a while before putting the pocket watch back and continuing to work.

For the past two nights, Su Jiu had not slept well. She had even dreamed of the little villain and a large forest shrouded in fog..
