Chapter 496 Don’t Do It
Upon arriving at the rest area, a waiter led her inside, where the luxurious decor was evident throughout.

The design style blends minimalism with natural elements. The walls are clad in natural marble with champagne gold trim, while the floors are covered with warm teak flooring. Recessed warm lighting completes the soft yet sophisticated atmosphere. A chandelier made of interwoven crystals and copper hangs from the ceiling, its light refracting through the crystals and cascading into the spa room like a shower of stars.

The treatment room is equipped with fully automatic massage chairs and 3D surround sound. The ceiling is designed as a starry sky dome, which can simulate natural light and shadow such as the aurora and the Milky Way, making guests feel as if they are floating in the universe while relaxing.

This was truly the ultimate enjoyment, and Wang Ping seemed to feel the true value of being the "hostess" even more at this moment.

The lounge area offers chilled champagne and handcrafted chocolates served in Baccarat crystal glasses for your enjoyment.

The spa therapists wore pure white linen uniforms, tailored to fit perfectly, with subtle yacht-specific emblems embroidered on the collars and cuffs. Their hair was meticulously styled in buns, with only a few wisps framing their faces, accentuating their long necks. Their nails were neatly manicured and painted with nude matte polish, and a faint scent of cedarwood essential oil lingered on their wrists.

Her eyes were as clear as the waters of the Aegean Sea, carrying a gentle yet undeniable professionalism. When she met the eyes of guests, she would nod slightly, her eyelashes casting small shadows under the overhead lights. Her back was as straight as a ballerina's, and as she walked, the hem of her uniform remained perfectly still, as if she were walking on solid ground rather than a swaying deck.

As Wang Ping approached, the therapist bowed at a 45-degree angle at the entrance of the SPA area, her voice as gentle as ocean waves: "Welcome to the Azam SPA Sanctuary. I am your therapist, Elena."

Once inside, I served you chilled lemongrass tea and used a tablet to bring up a health questionnaire. With a light tap of my finger, I asked, "Would you like to focus on relaxation or detoxification today?"

"Relax," she thought. It would be better if Chen Xiao helped her detox; He Qing looked so energetic every day.

As she lay down on the massage bed, the therapist lit a custom-made essential oil candle (top notes of bergamot, base notes of sandalwood) and held her hands about 10 centimeters in front of her forehead: "Please follow my guidance and take three deep breaths."

This massage bed features an ebony frame with embedded pressure sensors that automatically adjust the curvature, making it very enjoyable. Combined with the therapist's skillful techniques, Wang Ping drifted off to sleep without even realizing it.

This area is exclusively for the owners; guests cannot access it. However, there is a spa up there, which is of a lower standard than this area.

Half asleep, I heard someone call out. I rubbed my sleepy eyes and saw He Qing standing next to me.

“Pingping, it’s almost 1 o’clock. You’ve been resting for more than an hour.”

Wang Ping jumped off the massage bed and said, "This is so comfortable, He Qing. Your life is too decadent. This whole place is yours."

He Qing rolled her eyes at her: "Stop being so sour. One day you'll get the chance, and this place will be yours."

He chuckled and pulled her arm, saying, "Then I'll have to rely on your support. You have to create opportunities for me."

"Sister Xiangjun and Chen Xiao went upstairs together. Are we going to eat at the main venue, or in our room?"

They could choose to rest in the master bedroom on the first floor where Chen Xiao was, so there was no need to go upstairs and squeeze in with so many people. Xiang Jun and Chen Xiao were also there because they were both relatives of the Zhao family, and these people were all there under the guise of visiting Xiang Jun, so it wouldn't be right not to show up, but they only exchanged greetings.

Wang Ping liked lively places, so she wanted to go upstairs to take a look. He Qing was a little tired, so she went to find a room to rest for a while.

"Hey, He Qing, if President Chen comes looking for you, remember to call me."

He Qing slapped her, "What are you thinking? Sister Xiangjun is here today, why would he come looking for me?"

"But she's pregnant."

"Then he'll definitely not come looking for me; he'll be staying with her, won't he?"

Wang Ping nodded thoughtfully, "Then I'm relieved. I'll go upstairs for a look. I heard that today's meal is very lavish."

He shook his head. This guy was hopeless. No matter how lavish the meal was, could it be better than what he ate at home? The best food was sent home; how could it possibly be brought onto the yacht?

The gilded doors of the main salon were slowly pushed open by a waiter. The moment Chen Xiao stepped in with Zhao Xiangjun on his arm, the halo of the crystal chandelier seemed to freeze—the bubbles on the rim of the champagne glass stopped rising, the pianist's fingers hovered above the black and white keys, and even the surging waves outside the French windows were eerily silent for a second.

Zhao Hui led the two in. Chen Xiao only recognized a few of Zhao's uncles and maternal uncles among the relatives; he had never met the others. He turned to Xiang Jun and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you going to introduce them?"

Zhao Xiangjun whispered, "I can't recognize them all either."

Well, this is putting her in a difficult position. Zhao Xiangjun doesn't have more than 10 people saved in her phone's contact list, which shows how narrow her social circle is.

Zhao Hui, acting like an emcee, said a few words of thanks to the relatives. Finally, Chen Xiao and Zhao Xiangjun raised their glasses together to express their gratitude. Of course, Zhao Xiangjun's glass contained water.

In the queue of waiters not far away, a girl with a great figure and appearance was watching this scene with envy. She had never seen such a handsome man and beautiful woman as a couple, and she never expected that the owners of this yacht would be such a young and perfect couple.

"Shanshan, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and send some red wine over."

"Oh, okay, I'm sorry, I'm a little slow to react."

My colleague whispered, "It's okay, everyone has a first time, you'll get used to it eventually. But you still need to be careful, the management is very strict, and if you make a big mistake, you'll lose your job."

The girl called Shanshan immediately became nervous, "Then I'd better be careful, this kind of job is not easy to find."

My colleague laughed and said, "Of course! We earn 35,000 yuan a month, not to mention the other benefits. When the yacht owner isn't using it, we have a day off every day. Where else can you find a job like this? Besides, this is Jiangzhou. In our city, 10,000 yuan a month is considered a high salary."

Shanshan nodded, "I heard from experts that a monthly income of 1 yuan can beat 99% of people in the country."

While getting the wine, my colleague said, "You believe the experts, but is it possible that the truly wealthy people don't take a salary? For example, the owner of this yacht probably doesn't get a single penny in salary, and he's also among the 99% of people we've defeated."

He stuck out his tongue. It seemed to make sense. From now on, he really should listen to experts in reverse.

"what--"

Shanshan took the red wine and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Her colleague suddenly became nervous, as she was most afraid of something going wrong.

"I just drank this wine last night."

Her colleague chuckled, "You must be dreaming about drinking that. This is an '82 Lafite. What did you drink?"

Shanshan said, "Yes, yes, it's the 82 Lafite."

Her colleague rolled her eyes at her and pushed the cart alongside her. "Do you know how much this wine costs? 100,000 Chinese yuan, which is equivalent to three months' salary for us now. Do you still say that's what you drank last night? If someone tells you it's this, you've probably drunk fake wine."

This Shanshan turned out to be Li Shanshan, He Qing and Wang Ping's high school classmate. She remembered that she had said last night that the wine cost several hundred yuan a bottle, and Wang Ping did not refute it. Maybe it really was what her colleague said, and that it was a counterfeit product.

{Next time I see Wang Ping, I can tell her I've seen a real 82 Lafite, a bottle of wine that costs 10 yuan, hmph.}
When Wang Ping entered the main salon area, Chen Xiao and Xiang Jun had already gone back. Neither of them liked staying in such occasions; today's lunch was very sumptuous.

She glanced at it briefly and her mouth watered.

Beside a young couple in front of her was a woman in her thirties. The young couple was dressed very plainly, but Wang Ping would not look down on them, because everyone who came today was a relative of the Zhao family. Even a lowly official in front of the prime minister's door is only a seventh-rank official. She herself had never even become a palace maid, so why should she look down on others?

"Sister, what is this?"

Wang Ping suppressed a laugh. She didn't recognize bluefin tuna sashimi, but then she realized that she had only been eating it frequently recently and hadn't known about it before.

Then the woman addressed as "elder sister" said, "This is bluefin tuna sashimi. You and your sister-in-law should try it. Over there are French Gillardeau oysters, Alaskan king crab, and Kobe beef. Oh, don't ask any questions. They're all expensive ingredients. Just eat."

The young couple were Wang Yan's younger brother and sister-in-law, a spoiled lazybones, much like Zhao Liang, the son of Uncle Zhao. Uncle Zhao disliked Zhao Liang and hadn't brought him along today. Wang Yan ate these dishes at home every day without any problem. But when her brother looked up the names of the dishes on Baidu, he was shocked. "Sister, this is such a waste! Giving us such good food is worse than giving each of us a 10 yuan tip!"

His wife, feeling embarrassed, tugged at his arm. The woman, referred to as his sister, looked speechless and said, "Stay away from me. I can't bear this embarrassment."

Wang Ping casually grabbed some food, then walked to the wine section and called out to a waiter who was busy with something and had his back to her, "Excuse me, could you bring me a glass of red wine?"

Li Shanshan responded crisply, "Okay, please wait a moment."

As she poured the wine, Wang Ping's expression was a little strange; the voice sounded very familiar.

"Here's your red wine, please—"

"Ah—" Li Shanshan suddenly turned around, her pupils contracted sharply, and a short scream escaped her throat. The wine glass slipped from her fingers and smashed into a dark red flower on the Persian carpet. The shards of glass scattered like starlight, and the red wine soaked into the gold-embroidered iris pattern.

"What happened?" The supervisor rushed over. "How could you be so careless? Do you know what kind of occasion this is?"

He glared fiercely at Li Shanshan. With so many guests present, what if the host blamed them? Who could handle that? Their entire team might have to be replaced.

Li Shanshan was on the verge of tears. She hadn't expected to see Wang Ping here, and her surprise had led to this terrible mistake. Seeing her supervisor's anxious expression, she suddenly realized she was doomed; after this incident, she was likely to lose her job.

He glanced miserably at Wang Ping, knowing he couldn't blame her; it was just his own lack of self-control, or perhaps he was just incredibly unlucky. He thought about how he'd finally found such a good job, even quitting his job in Shanghai to return to Jiangzhou, only to make such a huge blunder on his very first day. Judging from his supervisor's expression, he looked like he wanted to kill him. How could he possibly continue working like this?

I heard from other colleagues that the manager has a relative who wants to be transferred here, but during the interview, his relative was rejected because his looks and physique were not as good as his own. Will he take this opportunity to replace himself and send his relative here? He definitely will, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the reason is very convincing.

Sure enough, the supervisor's next words were: "Don't stand there, pack your things, you don't need to come in starting tomorrow."

Although it was expected, Li Shanshan was still struck dumb, her face pale as she pleaded, "Manager, please give me another chance."

When the cleaning staff came to clean up, the other colleagues didn't dare to come over, fearing that they would be affected.

The supervisor snorted coldly, "Give you another chance? When did chances become so worthless? Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and pack your things to leave. Fortunately, you just arrived and haven't bought anything in Jiangzhou, so you can leave easily."

"What do you mean by leaving so easily?" Li Shanshan was so angry she couldn't speak.

"Hey, how can you talk like that?"

Because Li Shanshan made a mistake at work, her supervisor criticized her. Wang Ping had been hesitant to speak up, but now she felt that her supervisor's words were too harsh. Besides, it was just a minor slip of the tongue that caused her to spill a wine glass. Was it really necessary to deny her any chance at all?

Seeing someone standing up for her, the supervisor turned around and saw a beautiful woman. He quickly said politely, "Hello, this is a new employee of our team. She hasn't passed her probation period yet. We wouldn't dare to hire her if she caused any problems at work. What if she disturbs someone important in the future?"

On the yacht, besides the staff, there were only the yacht owner and his guests. This beautiful woman wasn't a staff member; she was clearly a VIP guest who had come to enjoy the yacht today. He dared not neglect her, but he still explained that she was his employee, currently on probation, and today's incident showed that she hadn't passed the probation. He even acted as if he was doing it for the owner's good, saying he didn't want to disturb the important guests.

He knew he couldn't afford to offend the guests, so he brought up the host. Wang Ping naturally understood this and snorted coldly, "I don't care about your rules. Her mistake today was my fault, and she said she would be more careful in the future. You have to give her another chance."

Li Shanshan then remembered how Wang Ping got on the yacht. There was only one possibility: she was one of the guests invited by the host today. Thinking of this, a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in her eyes. Perhaps Wang Ping really could help her. Don't be fooled by the fact that her team seemed so powerful; they were still serving the owner of this yacht. So, as a guest invited by the owner, Wang Ping's words carried considerable weight.

The supervisor naturally understood this as well, knowing that he couldn't argue with the customer. He rolled his eyes and said, "Since you've spoken, I won't punish her today."

Li Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say thank you when she heard Wang Ping say, "I said, why are you so cunning? You're trying to get rid of me, aren't you? You think you can punish her however you want after we get off the yacht?"

"Yeah, how come I didn't think of that?" Li Shanshan's heart sank again. He didn't deal with her when Wang Ping was around, but after Wang Ping and the others left, he fired her on the grounds that she hadn't passed her probation period. What could she do?
The supervisor was surprised that this young woman, despite her young age, was quite shrewd. "And she claims to be incredibly clever? You're just as cunning yourself!" he thought. Having his thoughts exposed, he was now in a dilemma.

If he agrees with Wang Ping's idea and doesn't hold Li Shanshan's mistake against him, then he won't be able to make arrangements for his relatives; if he doesn't follow her wishes, she will be relentless.

When the delaying tactic failed, he came up with another idea: "You're overthinking it. How to deal with her isn't up to me. I need to report to my superiors and ask them to make the decision. How about this, I promise to speak up for her in front of the leaders. This won't take up your lunch time. Lunch is so sumptuous today, don't waste this delicious food and wine."

"No rush to eat. I eat this every day, I'm sick of it. Call your boss, whoever can make the decision."

The supervisor was taken aback by her arrogant tone. If she ate this kind of lunch every day, she must be someone of extraordinary status. But after looking at her clothes, he realized they were quite ordinary. He scanned the room. There were many guests today, and many of them seemed to have no connection with the yacht owner, perhaps just distant relatives. He had been observing for a while and had a good eye for such things.

He judged that Wang Ping was probably a distant relative, but even so, she was someone he couldn't afford to offend, so he could only lower his head and say, "The leader didn't come aboard today."

He was determined to stall, not believing that Wang Ping could outlast him.

Cha Lan and Li Guoqiang came over to get the wine, chatting and laughing. The two hadn't gotten together in a long time, and they had so much to talk about. They talked about their past cooperation, then about General Manager Xu, then about many stories between General Manager Chen, and then about the social status they had achieved today. They were all filled with emotion.

"Huh—" Cha Lan noticed that Wang Ping, who was with He Qing, was looking unhappy and talking to one of the yacht's staff members, seemingly expressing her dissatisfaction.

He quickly walked over with Li Guoqiang. He knew that He Qing was President Chen's darling, and Wang Ping was He Qing's best friend. He even suspected that she might have some kind of relationship with President Chen. He wondered if these staff members had done something to offend her. How would he, the person in charge of managing the yacht, explain this to President Chen?

Wang Ping was indeed angry. This supervisor seemed determined to deal with Li Shanshan. How could she tolerate this? This yacht belonged to He Qing's family, and perhaps it would belong to her family in the future—she silently prayed that her dream would come true.

In this situation, if her classmate is fired because of her own mistake, how will Wang Ping ever face the world again?

"I don't care where your boss is, I'm telling you this: if Shanshan gets fired by your team, then I can tell you with certainty that you won't be working here either."

The supervisor smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, you're right."

He didn't take Wang Ping seriously at all. Being afraid to offend her was one thing, but listening to her was another. "Let her vent her anger, I'll agree to whatever she says. But once you're gone, what I want to do is none of your business."
As for Wang Ping saying he didn't want to work anymore, he didn't take it seriously at all. He had always followed the leader and was an absolute confidant. No one could replace him.

Just as he was looking around, he overheard Wang Ping angrily saying, "You don't need to work here anymore either." He knew there must be some conflict between the staff member and Wang Ping, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"

The manager saw another elderly man arrive, and judging from his aura, he was no ordinary person. He was a little troubled. He could handle Li Shanshan however he wanted, but the guests on this yacht were all friends of the owner. Not to mention that these people might be extraordinary to begin with, even if he were just an old farmer, he couldn't afford to offend him, because they were the owner's relatives and friends.

Wang Ping saw the inspection report and knew that he was in charge of managing the yacht. She also knew that he was the chairman of Zhifei Aerospace. Although he was polite to He Qing like a servant, he was definitely a very important person in the outside world.

“Mr. Cha, this Li Shanshan is an employee here and also my high school classmate. She accidentally knocked over a glass of red wine because she suddenly saw me. This manager wants to fire her, which I think is making a mountain out of a molehill.”

Damn, what's the big deal? Is this idiot manager out of his mind? What if he complains to General Manager He, or General Manager Chen finds out? What will he think of me? And since Li Shanshan is Wang Ping's classmate, she's very likely also General Manager He's classmate. This manager is trying to ruin me!

"Mr. Wang, please wait a moment, I'll handle it."

After saying that, he dialed a number and said into the phone, "Xiao Wu, get to the main salon in three minutes. If you can't get there, you're fired."

Li Shanshan was grateful to Wang Ping for standing up for her, and felt that things should turn around today. After all, she was a guest invited by the yacht owner, and the supervisor worked in the service department on the yacht and would not dare to offend the guest. However, she did not expect the supervisor to be so slick and try to play a delaying tactic. Fortunately, Wang Ping did not fall for his trick.

At the same time, seeing this man called "General Manager Cha," who exuded an imposing aura and seemed like someone who could command the wind and rain, and who assured Wang Ping that he could solve the problem, she suddenly felt confident. She thought to herself, "He calls Wang Ping 'General Manager,' and Wang Ping seems to be doing quite well now. Could it be that the wine he gave me last night was really 82 Lafite, the real thing?"
I overheard this Mr. Cha calling someone named Xiao Wu. I don't know who he is, but he sounds like someone from my company. And since he called him over, he must be someone who can handle this matter. So who is he?

Wang Ping patted her hand, "Shanshan, don't be afraid, it's okay. Even if he leaves, you won't leave."

Li Shanshan felt a warmth in her heart and whispered, "Thank you, Pingping. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do. I might have already packed my bags and left."

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have made this mistake. Okay, let's stop talking now, it seems the main character has arrived."

Li Shanshan looked in the direction Wang Ping was looking and saw a middle-aged man jogging towards them, his face showing obvious fear and unease.
