This Bad Luck is Awesome!

Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Fighting for a Man, I Will Definitely Win

She had eaten at this three-Michelin-star restaurant a few times before.

Her father had once treated a big shot to a meal here, and she had tagged along.

At the time, Boss Yang had come over to greet that big shot, so she knew he was indeed the owner of this restaurant.

And in her memory, Boss Yang hadn’t even been as courteous to that big shot as he was to Chen Mo.

She figured Chen Mo’s background must be even more powerful than that big shot’s!

Moreover, she remembered that big shot mentioning something about a VIP card that comped up to 10,000 yuan, but even he didn’t have one.

Looking at the Black Diamond VIP Card in her hand, her gaze grew profound...

’No wonder Xia Shiqing acts so cold and aloof at the company but is so demure and dependent around Chen Mo.’

’With a background like that, who wouldn’t be demure and dependent around him!’

A flash of understanding crossed Pan Kejia’s eyes.

’It makes sense. The man who could win over Xia Shiqing would never be just an ordinary intern who couldn’t secure a permanent position.’

’He was only pretending to be an ordinary person and interning at Xihe purely to pursue Xia Shiqing.’

She had already imagined that Chen Mo had a powerful background, and now that he had pulled this stunt, she was even more certain of her previous suspicions.

Just then, a woman in her forties walked past Chen Mo’s table.

She had only glanced over casually, but she was surprised when she saw Chen Mo.

"Mr. Chen? What a coincidence! You’re eating here too!"

She immediately smiled and took the initiative to greet him.

"Manager Liu?"

Chen Mo was also a little surprised to see her.

She was another familiar face—Manager Liu from the Chanel at the National Gold International Financial Center.

Yes, just like Boss Yang.

She was another person who had signed a non-disclosure agreement with him and paid him a sum of money.

"It really is a coincidence."

Chen Mo smiled, nodded, and greeted her.

"I’m treating an important client to a meal. I didn’t expect to see you here. It’s such a coincidence."

"Have you ordered yet? Let me get the bill for you!"

Manager Liu proactively offered to pay for Chen Mo’s meal.

Last time, Chen Mo hadn’t made an outrageous demand and had discreetly helped her handle the counterfeit bag crisis.

He had also helped her uncover a ticking time bomb in her store, allowing her to deal with it in time.

The head office was very satisfied with how she handled the situation. They didn’t strip her of her manager position and even let her continue in the role.

So, she was very grateful to Chen Mo. Now that they had run into each other at dinner, she definitely had to offer to pay the bill.

"No need. Someone is already treating me to this meal."

Chen Mo smiled and waved his hand in refusal. ’Why is everyone I meet so polite?’

’I guess connections really are a good thing. The saying ’more friends means more opportunities’ is really true.’

"Alright then."

"Oh, right, Mr. Chen, the store just got a new collection in. If you’re interested in anything, just send me a message on WeChat. I’ll hold it for you, even if it’s a limited-edition item. If you want it, I’ll deliver it to you personally."

Manager Liu seemed to have remembered something and chatted with Chen Mo for a moment.

"You’re too kind, Manager Liu. I’ll take a look in the next couple of days, and if there’s anything I want, I’ll message you on WeChat."

Chen Mo thought about how the seasons were about to change, and it was probably time to add some new clothes to his wardrobe.

Besides, she was showing him respect and being so polite to him.

So of course, he had to show her respect in return.

’These things are mutual.’

"Well, I won’t disturb you and your friend’s meal any longer."

Manager Liu smiled and said goodbye to Chen Mo, then nodded at Pan Kejia before leaving.

After Manager Liu left, Pan Kejia looked at Chen Mo in astonishment once again.

"I remember her. Isn’t she the manager of the Chanel at National Gold? You know her?"

Pan Kejia had bought bags at that store and had seen her there before, but Manager Liu didn’t know her.

She only had the contact information for one of the sales associates, from whom she had bought two bags. But for some reason, that associate hadn’t been responding to her messages lately.

She wasn’t replying to any of her messages...

’But I’m getting sidetracked. What I want to know is how Chen Mo is so familiar with Manager Liu.’

And why was Manager Liu so polite to him, even fighting to pay his bill?

Limited-edition items were usually used to attract customers, yet she was eagerly offering to save them for Chen Mo.

This relationship, this attitude—it was clearly not normal.

"What a coincidence. I helped her out with a big problem before, so she’s also quite grateful to me."

"She even said that if I go to the store, they’ll have any limited-edition item I want, and she’ll even give me a discount..."

Chen Mo laughed, casually explaining his connection to Manager Liu just as he had with Boss Yang.

He hadn’t expected to run into Manager Liu here either.

Coincidentally, both Boss Yang and Manager Liu had inside traitors at their businesses, and Chen Mo had helped them expose them.

’Even the manager of Chanel in Modu has to ask him for help...’

’There’s no doubt about it now. Chen Mo’s background is probably even more powerful than I first guessed!’

After hearing Chen Mo’s words, Pan Kejia’s imagination began to run wild again, and she became increasingly firm in her earlier convictions.

Combining what she knew about Xia Shiqing and Chen Mo’s relationship with her own experience today, she gradually came to accept this as a fact.

Seeing the look of understanding on Pan Kejia’s face and her increasingly determined gaze,

Chen Mo felt a little like laughing. ’This pretty lady isn’t overthinking things, is she?’

At that moment, the waiter brought over the dishes they had ordered.

Chen Mo was getting hungry, so he started to savor the delicious food, which was different from what he had yesterday.

Seeing Chen Mo focused on his food and ignoring her, a flash of annoyance crossed Pan Kejia’s eyes.

The last time she saw Chen Mo and Xia Shiqing at Disney, the two of them were very intimate.

But when he was having a meal with her, he didn’t even spare her a glance.

She admitted that her looks and figure were perhaps just a tiny bit inferior to Xia Shiqing’s.

’But is Pan Kejia really less attractive than the food on the table?’

She wasn’t angry that Chen Mo wasn’t looking at her; she was angry about the difference in his treatment of her versus Xia Shiqing!

Deep down, Pan Kejia had always been resentful of Xia Shiqing, feeling that Xia Shiqing had stolen her life.

They had attended the same middle school, and even the same university when they studied abroad.

Xia Shiqing was two years older, and Pan Kejia had always been overshadowed by her at school.

Xia Shiqing was always the popular figure at school, and her own brilliance was ruthlessly obscured.

She could only start to shine after Xia Shiqing graduated.

After returning to the country and joining Xihe, she was still being one-upped by Xia Shiqing.

She had a persistent obsession: she had to beat Xia Shiqing, to surpass her!

So she was always comparing herself to Xia Shiqing. Whatever Xia Shiqing had, she had to have it too.

She tried to compete with Xia Shiqing for everything, though she never won.

She failed to snatch company projects, failed to get the supervisor position—the list went on and on.

Her repeated failures, far from dispelling this obsession, had instead etched it deep into her bones.

It had even become something of a mania.

The last time at Disney, the idea of stealing Xia Shiqing’s boyfriend had already crossed her mind.

She knew it was a despicable thing to do.

But between being despicable and beating Xia Shiqing, she would choose to beat Xia Shiqing without hesitation.

And today, she had successfully managed to ask Chen Mo out.

But in his eyes, she was less appealing than a dish on a plate.

This filled her heart with unwillingness and resentment.

’Maybe I can’t beat you at anything else, but when it comes to stealing a man, I will definitely win!’

Pan Kejia decided to go all out. She was going to use some of the tricks she had prepared on Chen Mo.

Tricks that Xia Shiqing would never use.

Her pretty face was calm, but under the table, she slipped off her small black high heels and slowly extended a foot clad in black silk stockings...

Just then, Chen Mo, who was engrossed in savoring his food, suddenly felt something touch his leg.

He lifted his head slightly and looked at Pan Kejia, who was sitting across from him.

Pan Kejia was looking straight at him, a faint smile on her exquisite face.

When she saw him look over, her eyes met his with a gaze that was both shy and flirtatious.

And at the same time,

Chen Mo felt a soft foot gently rubbing against his calf through his pants.

Its toes even gave his leg a light scratch.

It was just the two of them, him and Pan Kejia, at this table.

So, it had to be Pan Kejia rubbing and scratching him with her foot!

’I thought I was just coming out for a meal, but it looks like I might get to do some ’cooking’ later, too.’

The corners of Chen Mo’s mouth lifted slightly into a meaningful smile.
