The Scheming Ex-Husband's Courtship
Chapter 176 - 170 Gu Qili

Chapter 176: Chapter 170 Gu Qili

A pink post-it note was stuck on the fridge, with a row of delicate small characters catching the eye: There are sandwiches in the fridge that will last for three days. For the remaining four days, have a can of eight-treasure porridge each day, remember to finish it all, I’ll be checking when I get back, be good!

At the end, there was a big smiley face drawn on it.

Mu Shuoqian walked up to the fridge and didn’t take the note off. After looking at it for a while, he opened the fridge and took out a sandwich to heat up in the microwave.

Having her homemade sandwich for breakfast wasn’t too bad, even though he really hated sandwiches, in the absence of her company.

Gu Qili arrived at the airport and found the organizers of the training event. She held up a sign and stood in a conspicuous spot in the airport hall.

Several people had already arrived; all of them were successful applicants, both men and women. Although they were not familiar with each other, they would be colleagues from now on, so they all greeted each other very warmly.

But what Gu Qili noticed was that nestled among a group of girls in the center was Luan Yi, an acquaintance.

She had long expected Luan Yi would be hired. She has the backing of Qi Meihui after all.

"You’re so pretty, how come you’re working as a waitress?" one of the girls asked curiously, her eyes filled with envy, for she was truly beautiful.

Luan Yi stroked her long hair, smiling proudly, "I’m here to experience life. I’m a writer, and right now I’m working on a novel about the restaurant scene, where the female lead is a Cinderella who starts by working in a restaurant."

"Wow, so you’re a glamorous writer," the girls said after hearing her, and their admiration for her grew even stronger. Not only was she beautiful, she was also a writer. They came here to work for the money, while she was here to experience life and gather material. The difference with people from wealthy backgrounds is obvious.

Just as everyone was flattering Luan Yi,

The group was at a loss when suddenly the boys hurried over to help Gu Qili with her rolling suitcase.

"Let me carry your suitcase. It looks quite heavy."

"Yeah, absolutely, let me carry this for you, too," another boy pointed out, pointing at Gu Qili’s backpack, "A beautiful girl shouldn’t be carrying such heavy things."

Gu Qili kindly declined their offers, as she wasn’t so frail that carrying a suitcase would tire her out.

Luan Yi was beautiful, but now that an even more beautiful girl had arrived, everyone’s attention was quickly drawn to her, especially the boys who had just been crowding around Luan Yi switched sides, much to Luan Yi’s annoyance.

In her heart, she sneered: She’s just an ordinary waitress, what’s there to be proud of. She really thinks she’s as influential as Mu Shuoqian, her uncle.

The attendees of the training gradually arrived. In total there were ten people participating in this expansion training, all newly recruited waitstaff for the French restaurant.

Gu Qili thought that Vice Manager Liu would be in charge of this session, but to her surprise, after everyone had gathered, Qi Meihui, dressed fashionably and wearing large sunglasses, approached from afar, her assistant also following closely with her luggage.

"Auntie," Luan Yi called out unabashedly, loud enough to make sure everyone knew her relationship with Manager Qi.

Qi Meihui looked over and nodded with a smile to Luan Yi, a gesture that immediately elicited countless envious stares.

Qi Meihui’s gaze finally settled on Gu Qili, and after a brief look, she said to the team leader, "Let’s set off."

With that, the grand procession began to move towards the security checkpoint.

As Qi Meihui passed Gu Qili, she said in a disdainful low voice, "Mu Shuoqian isn’t treating you all that well, is he? Letting his own wife work as a waitress."

Gu Qili ignored her and handed her ID and boarding pass to the security officer.

Seeing that she didn’t even acknowledge her, Qi Meihui gnashed her teeth in frustration. Once they were on the island, she would call the shots, and would Gu Qili still be able to strut around on the strength of Mu Shuoqian’s name?

We’ll see about that!

After the plane arrived in City A, the group took a boat to their training base at Palm Island and checked into the Holiday Hotel on the island.

Gu Qili got her room key from the team leader and was about to leave when Luan Yi suddenly called out to her from behind.

"I want to switch rooms with you," she said bluntly, pushing her own room key forward.

"This was arranged by the team leader, talk to him if you want to switch," Gu Qili replied with a glance, and went straight into the elevator with her luggage.

Luan Yi stamped her foot in frustration; she had just inquired with the hotel’s front desk and found out that Gu Qili’s room faced the sea and one could see the sunrise over the ocean if up early.

"Leader Zhang, I want to switch rooms with her," Luan Yi grumbled as she went off to find Leader Zhang.
