Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 268 Looking for a job

Su Wen, who was locked outside: "..."

He spun around in circles, unable to swallow his anger. He had kindly taken in the mother and daughter, but now he was being called a pervert. Who could he talk to about this?

He turned and knocked on Qingyan's door, "Come out!"

She flung open the door with a sharp, almost menacing tone. Her smoky makeup made her alluring, but even without it, she retained her queenly aura—cool, aloof, and unapproachable.

"Is something wrong?"

"You've misunderstood me about what just happened, so I need to explain. I have a pure heart, and I'm not a pervert. It was purely an accident!"

"Finished?"

"Ok!"

"Okay, I understand!"

Snapped!
He closed the door again!
Su Wen blinked. Wait, what did she mean? Did she believe it or not?
……

Xiao Ruonan thought about it for a long time. She couldn't continue like this. It would be as if she had lost her ability to take care of herself after leaving the Xiao family and could only rely on a man to support her. This would make Ning Zhiyuan look down on her.

She wanted to prove to Ning Zhiyuan that she was capable and that she could endure hardship with him.

So she spent several days browsing job postings online. After filtering, she narrowed it down to two companies. One of them was hiring a female customer service representative. The job description said the work was simple, requiring a 7-hour workday with overtime pay, and a base salary of 10,000 yuan, with more pay for more work.

Having lived the life of a pampered young lady for over twenty years, ten thousand yuan was nothing to Xiao Ruonan; she could easily spend more than that on a simple meal outside.

But after leaving the Xiao family and coming here with Ning Zhiyuan, she truly understood the value of money. Ning Zhiyuan said that he only earned a thousand yuan a day working on the construction site. Seeing his injuries, she felt even more guilty.

It turns out that the thousand yuan she previously didn't deserve to mention could actually make a man work so hard and feel so lowly.

So she decided to go out and earn money, and she would support her bodyguards herself.

She wanted to prove to everyone that even if she left the Xiao family, Xiao Ruonan could still survive.

She was interviewed at an entertainment club, and before opening time, the supervisor took her to the manager's office.

Several girls of similar age to her were standing inside, being interviewed by the manager.

After the manager dismissed them, he let Xiao Ruonan come over. First, he made her fill out a form, and then he made her spin around in place.

Xiao Ruonan didn't understand what this was all about either; it didn't seem like a normal interview process.

"Manager, could you please tell me what the female customer service representatives usually do?"

The manager, with a cigarette dangling from his lips and a nonchalant air, revealed a menacing tattoo on his wrist as he reached out. "You've never done this before?"

Xiao Ruonan shook her head truthfully.

"To put it bluntly, it's about serving tea and water to men. If you do it well, a high salary of millions is not a dream!"

"What? Serving men?"

The manager snapped impatiently, "What are you yelling about? What's wrong with serving men? This is a high-end club; countless girls would love to come here but can't get in. Are you going to do it or not? If you don't, plenty of others will!"

If she really earns a million a month, then she can adopt Ah Lie, and he won't have to work so hard anymore.

I used to think that money was hard to earn, but now it seems that it's not that hard.

"Manager, I'll do it!" Xiao Ruonan started working that day. Her mentor was a woman in her forties named Sister Li, who had permed hair, wore a leopard-print skirt, and had a strong smell of smoke when she spoke.

Five or six girls joined the company today. Sister Li gave each of them a set of clothes, saying they were work clothes, and told them to change into them and put on nice makeup, otherwise it would be considered absenteeism.

When Xiao Ruonan opened the so-called work clothes, she was completely dumbfounded.

This isn't workwear at all; it's a tank top, so short that half of your waist is exposed whenever you do any work. The tight skirt below is ridiculously short, and you can't even squat down.

Xiao Ruonan simply couldn't accept it.

"Are you all done yet? Hurry up, do you still want to do this?"

Hearing Sister Li urging her from outside, Xiao Ruonan didn't care about anything else and reluctantly put it on.

The girls stood in a row.

Sister Li paced back and forth in her high heels. "The guests coming today are very important. You all better be on your best and serve them well. If you make them happy, I'll reward you handsomely. If you mess things up, you'll see how powerful I am!"

"Okay, Sister Li!" the girls replied obediently, while Xiao Ruonan's heart pounded.

Why does it feel different from what she expected?
Afterwards, Sister Li divided the girls into two groups and sent each group into two private rooms.

Xiao Ruonan and two other girls were in a group. As soon as they entered the room, they were pulled over by several old men on the sofa, who then began to grope and touch them inappropriately.

"Little sister, how old are you? Let your big brother pamper you tonight?"

"It's so soft! I wonder what it feels like to touch. Come here, let your big brother touch it!"

Snapped!
Out of instinct, Xiao Ruonan slapped the other person across the face.

Everyone looked over.

"Just drink properly, what are you doing? Or I might sue you for sexual harassment!"

The other person pointed at her with a finger adorned with a large gold ring, "You're a prostitute, what are you pretending to be, some virtuous woman? Call Sister Li over here, how do you train someone? I want a refund!"

Sister Li quickly arrived, bowing and scraping as she apologized to the old man, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Chen. My new girl is a bit clueless. How about this, all the drinks are on the house tonight. Please calm down, and I'll have her apologize to you!"

"An apology is all it takes to solve things? Free drinks are all it takes to solve things? Do you think I'm that desperate for a drink?"

The other party glared at her, and Sister Li quickly tried to appease her, "How about this, I'll have someone clean her up and send her to your room tonight, you can discipline her however you like!"

"Hmph, that's more like it!" Only then did the other party give up.

Subsequently, Xiao Ruonan was taken to the office by Sister Li's subordinates.

"Sister Li, it was that customer who attacked me first..."

Before she could finish speaking, Sister Li slapped her hard across the face. "You brat, you dare to offend my customer on your first day at work? You've got some nerve! I'm warning you, Boss Chen is not someone to mess with. You'd better serve him well later. If you're lucky, you might earn some extra money. If you're unlucky, you'd better pray for good fortune!"

"You dare hit me? From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever dared to lay a finger on me!" Xiao Ruonan covered her face, incredulous. "Do you know who I am?"

"Ha, I don't care who you are! Anyway, you better serve Boss Chen well tonight, or I'll sell you to the slums and let you taste the flavor of men there. I guarantee you'll wish you were dead!"

Xiao Ruonan took two steps back in fear. "I know now. You guys aren't hiring female customer service representatives at all, but rather escorts for men!"

Sister Li blew on her bright red nail polish. "You only realize this now? Isn't it a bit too late? Don't you think about it? Which female customer service representative can make you tens of thousands a month? What are you dreaming of? Once you step into this place, don't expect to leave clean. Someone, drag her in and clean her up, so that Boss Chen won't find fault with her later!"
