Chapter 177 Qi Haixia's Awakening
Fortunately, Wei Wanqing was very sensible. Although she would act a little temperamental when she was alone with Liu Weidong, she knew to save face for him when others were around.
So even though the strong woman was furious, she didn't explode in front of him. She just coldly said to Liu Weidong, "Come here for a moment, I have something to say to you!"
Liu Weidong gestured for Qi Haixia to wait where she was, then walked over and said with a smile, "Senior Sister, what's wrong? Does someone owe you money and hasn't paid it back? Don't get angry, getting angry will make you age faster!"
Seeing that this guy was still joking with her, Wei Wanqing became even angrier, and frowned, saying, "Liu Weidong, what do you mean by bringing a woman here? I didn't expect you to like this kind of woman. You have such bad taste!"
These words carried a hint of personal attack, leaving Liu Weidong feeling somewhat helpless. He never expected this strong woman to have this side to her; it was clearly jealousy!
However, he couldn't say that out loud, so Liu Weidong could only smile wryly and say, "Senior sister, you've misunderstood. I brought her here to help you!"
Wei Wanqing glanced at Qi Haixia and said, "How can she help me like this? She should be helping you, right?"
"Ahem, senior sister, don't talk nonsense. I'm a respectable person!" Liu Weidong said earnestly, "Didn't you say last time that you often get pressured to drink when you're having dinner with clients? I specially found someone to help you fend off the drinks, so you won't drink too much in the future, and I can feel more at ease!"
Wei Wanqing, who was originally furious, was stunned for a moment before whispering, "You...you brought her here so that I would drink less in the future?"
"What do you think?" Liu Weidong said seriously, "Actually, her job is not just to shield you from drinking, but also to liven up the atmosphere at the dinner table and maintain communication with clients. You are an entrepreneur, after all, you should have heard of the word public relations, right? She is the public relations person I specially found for you!"
Wei Wanqing then realized she had wronged Liu Weidong again, and said somewhat awkwardly, "So that's what happened. I thought..."
Liu Weidong regained the upper hand and interrupted her impatiently: "Senior sister, I really didn't expect you to have such a bad impression of me. Sigh... I'm so sorry that my good intentions were wasted!"
"Okay, okay, don't be angry anymore, it was my fault!" The strong woman apologized to Liu Weidong in a low voice, and gently pushed him, saying, "Don't be so petty, you're a grown man. I'll treat you to a meal next time to make up for it, is that alright?"
"Hmm, that's more like it!" Liu Weidong was finally satisfied and whispered to Wei Wanqing, "Her name is Qi Haixia. She's a widow in our village. Usually... you know. Today, let's just see her work ability. Whether or not to keep her is your decision."
Seeing that Liu Weidong had entrusted the decision to her, Wei Wanqing was quite satisfied. She smiled slightly at him and said, "Alright, let's observe for a while. Since you introduced him, I will definitely take good care of him. Don't worry."
"No need for that. I don't have much of a relationship with her, so please don't force me!" Liu Weidong quickly distanced himself from Qi Haixia, which made the strong woman even happier.
So Wei Wanqing quickly approached Qi Haixia, sized her up, and nodded secretly. Regardless of the woman's abilities, her appearance was perfect for the job.
Liu Weidong, standing to the side, said with a smile, "Qi Haixia, this is my senior sister, Wei Wanqing. As long as my senior sister is satisfied with your performance today, you will work for her from now on."
Knowing that Wei Wanqing was her real boss, Qi Haixia was a little nervous and quickly greeted her, "Hello, Ms. Wei...Ms. Wei!"
The fact that this woman could come up with such a title without any instruction made Liu Weidong nod in approval; some people are just born to make a living in public relations.
This powerful woman wasn't as polite to others as she was to Liu Weidong. With the air of a domineering female CEO, she nodded and said, "Your name is Qi Haixia, right? Tonight's dinner is a test. If you pass, you'll officially work for me from now on. I'll give you a monthly salary of two hundred, bonuses and such are separate. Any questions?"
Wei Wanqing's offer was even better than Liu Weidong's, and Qi Haixia happily said, "Absolutely no problem, thank you, President Wei!"
"Okay!" The strong woman nodded expressionlessly, then said to Liu Weidong, "I'll still meet them at the Peace Hotel. It's almost time, let's set off now!"
Two hours later, the three arrived at the Peace Hotel in the city center, and it was almost dinner time.
Upon arriving at the hotel, Qi Haixia realized just how high-class the Peace Hotel the boss had mentioned was, which surprised and delighted her. The thought of getting the job and being able to eat at such places regularly filled her with determination, and she resolved to give it her all!
The three of them quickly arrived at the private room that Wei Wanqing had booked. It was Qi Haixia's first time in such a high-class place, and everything was new and exciting to her. She was very careful in everything she did.
However, Qi Haixia soon realized that Liu Weidong looked completely at ease, clearly having gotten used to eating at places like this, and she couldn't help but secretly regret her decision.
If I had known Liu Weidong was so promising, I would have sided with him much earlier. Why did I have to go against him at every turn? I've been blinded by greed!
Just as Qi Haixia was secretly annoyed, Wei Wanqing's guests arrived. Two slick-haired, middle-aged men swaggered in.
The woman with the gold-rimmed glasses entered the room with a big smile and said in broken Mandarin, "Miss Wei, we meet again! It's been so long, I've really missed you!"
Liu Weidong immediately frowned. This guy's attitude was far too frivolous; he clearly had ill intentions towards Wei Wanqing. No wonder the strong woman got drunk after treating these people to dinner last time and didn't get up until noon the next day.
Wei Wanqing's expression was somewhat unnatural, but since she needed their help, she could only force a smile and say, "Mr. Huang, Mr. Zhao, welcome! Let me introduce you, these two are my colleagues."
At this moment, Huang Yongchao, who was wearing glasses, also noticed that there were two other people in the private room besides Wei Wanqing, and his face immediately darkened.
Ever since he first saw Wei Wanqing, this guy had been stunned by her beauty and harbored ill intentions towards this strong woman. He had tried to get her drunk last time but failed, and was hoping to succeed this time. Unexpectedly, Wei Wanqing brought two more people this time, meaning he had no chance again. No wonder Huang Yongchao was unhappy.
Another guy named Zhao Dongshan, Huang Yongchao's henchman, saw that his boss was unhappy and immediately said in a sarcastic tone, "Oh dear, it seems that Miss Wei doesn't really trust us either. Maybe we shouldn't eat here. You should just buy the sewing machine from someone else!"
Huang Yongchao also made a move as if he was about to leave, and the atmosphere in the private room immediately froze.
However, it was at this moment that Qi Haixia's role became apparent.
