Chapter 386 He actually feels guilty? How strange!
In short, Su Mingyue and her group all shut up.
Before Su Mingyue could speak, Gu Changqi interrupted, "Alright, that's enough. Don't forget why we're here."
If this affects his plans...
Gu Changqi lowered his eyebrows, his eyes conveying a clear warning.
Su Mingyue shrank her neck and reluctantly shut her mouth.
Seeing Yuan Yangyang being led in as a VIP while he himself was almost kicked out, his dissatisfaction grew even stronger.
The sense of superiority and good mood I had initially felt from being able to attend the investment promotion conference vanished completely.
Unable to vent her frustration, Su Mingyue felt extremely uncomfortable.
She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the people around her were giving her unfriendly looks.
She was met with nothing but schadenfreude, disdain, and indifferent spectators, and this feeling of being on pins and needles made her unable to stay a minute longer; she wanted to escape as quickly as possible.
He quickly walked towards the corner, holding his wine glass.
Unfortunately, there was someone standing there without paying attention, and Su Mingyue bumped into it without noticing, only to be bounced back due to inertia.
The wine in the glass was all spilled, and the expensive white dress was covered in red wine stains.
Seeing her only dress ruined, and the culprit being just a clueless waiter, Su Mingyue could no longer contain her anger and exploded on the spot.
"Are you blind? Don't you have eyes?! My dress is ruined!!"
"Excuse me, ma'am, you hit me too fast. I didn't have time to dodge. I'm so sorry."
The waiter spoke apologetically and respectfully, explaining the situation in just a few words.
Those who were unaware of the truth then realized that Su Mingyue had bumped into him herself.
He hit someone and was still so arrogant; that's just unreasonable.
Seeing her disheveled appearance, stained with red wine, would easily evoke sympathy in others.
But now, everyone's impression of her immediately plummeted, and they lost all goodwill towards her.
Although the waiter apologized to her respectfully, Su Mingyue did not see the fearful, humble, remorseful look she had imagined.
In her eyes, it was all just perfunctory business and shirking of responsibility. The image of Yuan Yangyang being respectfully led inside flashed through her mind again.
Compared to her treatment, the scorn and ridicule around her seemed even louder.
Looking at the waiter who was standing there like a wooden stake, Su Mingyue felt a surge of anger.
It's one thing for others to laugh at her; she's just a nobody, and there's nothing she can do about it.
But why should he, a mere waiter, look down on her?
That scoundrel who treats people differently based on their status.
She can't do anything to other people, so surely she can't do anything to a waiter?
Anger consumed his reason, and he roared, "What do you mean? Are you trying to shirk responsibility? You're here to serve us, not to annoy our customers. Didn't you know to get out of the way when you saw me coming?!"
"Now my dress is ruined! Do you know how much that costs? I came here to discuss a project. If the project falls through because of this, do you know how much loss I'll suffer? Can you afford the responsibility?!"
Suppressed anger made her voice shrill and piercing, making one want to cover their ears.
The waiter being questioned was named Guan Haochen, and he had not anticipated this sudden turn of events.
He went to great lengths to get here as a waiter because he had something very important to do, but Su Mingyue's appearance completely disrupted his plans.
Su Mingyue's aggressive approach left him somewhat at a loss.
Hearing Su Mingyue's merciless rebuke, Guan Haochen turned pale, unsure of how to make amends. He could only patiently continue apologizing, hoping to quell her anger.
Hopefully this unpleasant situation will pass quickly; he hasn't finished what he wanted to do yet.
"I'm so sorry, sir. Let me take you to clean up first."
But Su Mingyue wouldn't let it go easily and wasn't going to let the matter drop.
Guan Haochen sighed. It was truly an unexpected disaster. What had he done to deserve this?
Even though the other person bumped into him, he's now making a scene just because the other person's dress is expensive, acting like he needs an explanation.
Normally, Guan Haochen would definitely have to have a serious talk with the other party; he wasn't going to be taken advantage of.
But today is different.
Thinking about the things he hadn't done yet, Guan Haochen could only reluctantly cut his losses and try to avoid trouble.
He gritted his teeth and promised, "As for your dress, I will find a way to compensate you."
Hearing the noise, Yuan Yangyang stopped going up to the VIP room on the second floor and said to the person in charge, "You can go ahead and get busy. I'll just wander around for a bit."
Then, he and Ling Jianyang stood at a distance that was neither too close nor too far to watch the show.
Seeing Su Mingyue's face contorted with anger and frustration because her dress was ruined, Yuan Yangyang was in a great mood. She watched the show while whispering to Ling Jianyang.
"Su Mingyue is really tasteless. She can't take her own discomfort out on the waiter. What did he do to her!"
"Sigh, this waiter is really unlucky. Why did Su Mingyue have to run into him? How long will he have to work as a waiter to earn enough for this dress? Tsk tsk..."
Yuan Yangyang watched the show while making sarcastic remarks, but unfortunately, the conditions didn't allow it; she searched for a long time but couldn't find any melon seeds.
He couldn't help but complain, "Tsk, I'll have to talk to Mengmeng about this later. Such a big tea party, representing the Qiao family's reputation, is so shabby. There aren't even any melon seeds."
Ling Jianyang's lips twitched subconsciously, and he reminded her expressionlessly, "It seems that you're the one who made her angry but afraid to vent!"
After saying that, he placed a small blueberry cake next to Yuan Yangyang.
Speaking of which, Su Mingyue's anger at being blamed on the waiter was indeed because of Yuan Yangyang.
However, Yuan Yangyang stated that she would not take the blame for this.
She took a bite of cake, found it tasted good, and then distanced herself, saying, "This has nothing to do with me. She's just looking for trouble, and I haven't even bothered with her. She's petty, so who can she blame but herself!"
After finishing the cake, Yuan Yangyang put down her fork with satisfaction and sighed, "Sigh, I'm just too easygoing, which is why she keeps coming over to be tormented."
"But she's so petty. I had forgotten about her, yet she still has such a temper. If this happens a few more times, I'm afraid she'll drive herself crazy!"
After all, she hadn't had time to do anything yet.
Ling Jianyang nodded in agreement, "She is indeed petty. Yangyang is still the best."
I thought this little thing would end quickly, but I never expected that things would take such a strange and uncontrollable turn.
The reason lies with Gu Changqi and his group.
Hearing the commotion from Su Mingyue's side, the entire project team, led by Gu Changqi, rushed over to see what was going on.
Then they discovered that the waiter who had made Su Mingyue so embarrassed was actually an old acquaintance.
It was Guan Haochen, their junior from the same major.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Gu Changqi's eyes darkened for a moment, a flash of fierceness disappearing from them.
His entourage also fell silent instantly, as if a pause button had been pressed, and looked at Guan Haochen with very complicated expressions.
Although it didn't last long, Yuan Yangyang and Ling Jianyang still noticed their unusual behavior.
Yuan Yangyang snorted lightly, showing great disdain.
Ha, it's strange that these people actually feel guilty. I thought their skin was as thick as an iron wall!
[They plagiarized others' ideas and used their core technology to attract investment. Now that they're waving it in front of the original creator, they're probably so ashamed they want to disappear into a hole!]
Yuan Yangyang's eyes lit up, full of excitement at the prospect of a good show.
As it turned out, these people were even more shameless than she had imagined.
