Chapter 195: Chapter 185 Typing Beep Beep

Gu Qili was typing away at her computer, munching on an apple that was now down to half. Suddenly, the apple disappeared from her hand. When she looked up, she saw Mu Shuoqian comfortably eating from the spot she had bitten. He glanced at the computer screen, "Haven’t finished your paper yet?"

"Almost there." Gu Qili kept typing and muttered, "If you wanted some, you could’ve just grabbed it yourself."

Why does he always like to eat what she’s left? It’s all covered in saliva, isn’t that gross?

Mu Shuoqian then covered the screen with his hand, "Stop writing, go pack my bags."

"Ah, where are you going?" Gu Qili frowned slightly, feeling down.

She had just got back two days ago, and now he was leaving; she really couldn’t bear it.

"Behave yourself at home, and don’t see Chen Yishu."

Gu Qili got upset. Why does he dislike Chen Yishu so much, he’s really no threat to him.

"I told you, there’s nothing between us, you jealous creep."

He pinched her waist, "Go pack my bags quickly."

"Alright." Gu Qili hopped off him and went to his room to pack his suitcase, while he stood by holding a wine glass and watched intently.

As she knelt down to continue packing, her lips curled into a shy smile.

"Have you seen my ID card?" Mu Shuoqian stopped teasing her and flipped through his wallet.

"Haven’t seen it, did you maybe forget it somewhere?"

"I just saw it."

Gu Qili then got up to help him look for it, and as she turned around, she found it on the bedside table.

When registering, she had seen his ID card. He had a stern face in the photo, as if the whole world owed him money, but a handsome guy is still a handsome guy, even if his face is as long as Changbai Mountain, his charisma is undeniable.

Gu Qili stared at his ID for a long time,

He really looked younger at that time.

"Done looking?" A long arm reached over her shoulder and pulled the card from her hands, casually placing it back in the wallet.

Gu Qili suddenly realized, in another month it will be his birthday. She had remembered it ever since the registration, but it only just came to her mind again upon seeing his ID card.

Gu Qili leaned in closer, just smiling at him without saying a word.

Mu Shuoqian looked innocent, "What’s up?"

She shook her head,

This awkward man, he wants a birthday gift in such a roundabout way, but she should prepare something nice indeed. For someone who gets what he wants like rain and wind, what should she give him?

The next day, Mu Shuoqian went on a business trip as there was a problem with a project there, and he went to handle it with Xiao Ran.

And this day was also Gu Qili’s first day working at the French Restaurant.

Early in the morning, she arrived at the restaurant for her orientation. Her batch of coworkers had also all arrived; seeing Zhu Ping, Gu Qili went over to stand with her as everyone quietly chatted and waited for the leaders to arrive.

"Look, it’s Luan Yi, she’s really coming to work? Such a rich heir should just stay home and write."

"Yeah, what can she do? Don’t let her drag us down like last time, my face got so sunburned, it was red for two days."

Zhu Ping quietly tugged at Gu Qili’s sleeve, "Qili, be careful with Luan Yi, I don’t think she’ll let things go easily."

"Yeah, I’ll be careful." Since knowing she would work under Qi Meihui, Gu Qili had been extra cautious, Mu Shuoqian couldn’t be there all the time to protect her, she had to learn to protect herself.

While they were talking, Luan Yi also came over, noticeably more reserved than when Gu Qili first met her, and her proud eyes avoided looking at Gu Qili, finding a spot to stand.

Soon, Manager Qi and the supervisor Guo Jun came over, held a brief meeting, and then assigned their positions. Gu Qili was assigned to the beverage section, her duty being washing glasses.

Luan Yi got a relatively easy position at the beverage section’s front desk, usually just needing to deal with numbers, no physical labor required.

After the work assignments were distributed, everyone headed to logistics to collect their uniforms.

The uniforms at Grand Lisboa are very beautiful, consisting of a white shirt with a blue patterned cravat, a black A-line skirt, and black soft leather shoes. It’s said that these uniforms are designer brands, and everyone even paid a deposit when collecting them.

Gu Qili and Zhu Ping were changing in the locker room, and so were other people.

"Qili, isn’t your uniform old? It doesn’t fit you at all."

Gu Qili noticed too. Everyone else’s uniforms were new and fitted perfectly, while hers was old, dirty, and clearly castoffs from someone else.

"I’ll go to logistics to change it." Gu Qili picked up the uniform and walked out,

"Where do you think you are going?" Qi Meihui glanced at the workwear in Gu Qili’s hand with an arrogant attitude.

Qi Meihui is her superior now, and she wouldn’t openly defy her in front of so many people.

"Manager Qi, my uniform is old, is there some mistake with the logistics department?"

"Old?" Qi Meihui didn’t even look before concluding, "The new uniforms have already been distributed. They are making more, but I don’t know when they will be ready. Wear the old one for now."

Gu Qili knew this must have been arranged on purpose. How could such a large hotel be missing a set of staff uniforms?

But she silently swallowed her anger, gripped the uniform tightly in her right hand and said, "I understand."

Their conversation had also reached the ears of the others. Although everyone felt it was unfair, no one dared to speak up.

Luan Yi walked over from behind and, seeing Gu Qili looking deflated, she was delighted. Thus, she intentionally bumped into Gu Qili’s injured shoulder heavily.

Gu Qili was caught off guard by the shove and nearly fell, but Zhu Ping quickly grabbed her arm.

But Gu Qili wasn’t someone easy to bully. While Luan Yi was smirking, Gu Qili stuck out her foot, and as a result, instead of falling herself, Luan Yi ended up face-planting.

Everybody laughed unreservedly. No one offered to help her up.

Luan Yi got up angrily and glared fiercely at Gu Qili,

"You, you, you, you’re just like the despicable female antagonist in my novel, malevolent, unreasonable, and paranoid," Luan Yi ranted, pointing at her, "Always scheming against me out of jealousy because I am prettier, smarter, and more attractive to the opposite sex."

Listening to her so convinced of herself, Gu Qili’s lips almost twisted into a smile, thinking that should have been her line.

Zhu Ping covered her mouth and laughed: "Of course, Qili looks better."

"Yes, the first time I saw Qili, I thought I saw a fairy."

Gu Qili couldn’t help but twitch her mouth. That was a bit exaggerated, but aptly played.

"Of course, Qili is beautiful. The other male colleagues all say they have never seen such a beautiful girl like Qili before, it’s a waste for her to be a waiter."

Everyone kept praising Gu Qili, and to Luan Yi, it felt like millions of people were pointing and repeating incessantly: "Gu Qili is prettier than you, Gu Qili is prettier than you."

"Ah..." Luan Yi suddenly covered her ears and screamed, startling everyone into silence as they stared at her curiously.

"You ugly women, ugly women, I don’t want to listen to you speak," she said as she rushed out.

"Does she have mental issues?" Everyone stretched their necks, delighting in her misfortune, "She’s not going to jump off a building, is she?"

"She just has a princess complex. She can’t stand everyone saying Qili is pretty, liking Qili. She wants all men and women to surround and flatter her," they said.

"Alright, alright, everyone change quickly and go out to work. The supervisor is about to give a talk," Zhu Ping said, then walked out of the locker room with Gu Qili.

After everyone was dressed in their uniforms, they lined up waiting for the supervisor to assign today’s tasks.

Guo Jun approached with a clipboard, scanning everyone before stopping in front of Gu Qili and sternly said: "Didn’t they teach you during training that the most important thing for a server is to be neat and tidy in appearance? Wearing like this, are you trying to disgrace our restaurant? You’re losing this month’s bonus and are disqualified from the excellent employee contest for three months."

Zhu Ping was about to speak, but Gu Qili stopped her, shaking her head.

Gu Qili said: No need to wait until the end of the month to use up monthly tickets, although they are still being doubled, there are no more rewards now, so just cast them whenever you can; maybe it will even help Brother Ba get to the homepage recommendations!
