Chapter 409: Chapter 409: Winter Vacation Comes 10_1

When she arrived at the restaurant and greeted everyone, the responses were few. Those who used to rush to help her no longer approached her. Besides Fang Fang and a few others who interacted with her, the rest of her colleagues almost treated her as if she were invisible.

This continued for two to three days, after which He Zhilan found that even Fang Fang began to avoid her, no longer coming to work or going home with her. Even when they were back at the dormitory, Fang Fang never sought out to chat with her anymore.

It seemed that in just over a week, the extremes of being popular and unpopular played out quickly on He Zhilan.

He Zhilan felt helpless. In fact, after some reflection, she realized that her isolation took a process.

In the beginning, everyone was trying to please her because they thought she had a high social standing and a strong background due to Lin Chan. However, after spending some time with her, they discovered she just came from a rural area, she was like anyone else, and the only difference was that she was a college student.

It seemed that her unpopularity began when she received a red envelope from a customer.

He Zhilan was not foolish; she knew that it was probably because the large tips she received made everyone feel unbalanced. She had heard complaints that she took too many regular customers away from them but He Zhilan felt wronged. She only did what she was supposed to do. Customers had the right to choose who serves them; He Zhilan didn’t beg those customers to only allow her to serve them.

On the contrary, when she was busy, she would introduce her colleagues to the customers who were still patiently waiting for her. With the customers’ permission, she let her colleagues take their orders and serve them.

But no matter how clear she saw the situation, being ostracized didn’t feel good.

Luckily, He Zhilan consoled herself, it’s just a winter vacation, which was half past. After this vacation, she would have no more intersections with the people here, except for the lovable head chef and nice John.

After Fang Fang stopped interacting with He Zhilan, her life became more simple: just work and knit clothes on her own. Saying there was no injustice was impossible. In fact, He Zhilan wanted to ask Fang Fang many times, where did she go wrong? Why did they isolate her?

But she knew that to do so would be foolish, so she held back.

The day before the New Year’s Eve, the entire restaurant’s atmosphere became warmer. The conversations among colleagues turned to whether they would return home for the New Year or how they planned to spend it. Although He Zhilan had no chance to join in, she was delighted to think that she could go to find He Teng in the army early on New Year’s Eve.

However, He Zhilan did not expect to meet Gu En, who was like a plague, on this last workday of the year.

Gu En entered with a woman He Zhilan had never seen before. He Zhilan noticed him instantly and wanted to hide in the kitchen immediately. After all, in the restaurant, she was a waitress, and Gu En was a customer. If Gu En started to mess with her, she wouldn’t be able to avoid it.

Unfortunately, it seemed like Gu En had a radar installed for He Zhilan. As soon as she turned around, Gu En saw her. Originally, he was laughing and chatting with the woman beside him but as soon as he saw He Zhilan, his smile became scornful.
