Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Too Arrogant

Zheng Qiuhang had already received her first month’s salary. After taxes and deductions, it came out to a full 35,000 yuan.

It was the first time she had earned such a generous income, and she was thrilled.

How many recent graduates could land a high-paying job in the tens of thousands?

She felt an even deeper sense of gratitude toward Wang Chenning.

Filled with hope for the future, Zheng Qiuhang took her work very seriously every day.

She hoped to quickly settle into her role as a manager, handling all matters and personnel effectively.

She hadn’t gotten much sleep over the past few days, but she didn’t feel tired at all. Instead, she was running on adrenaline, buzzing with excitement.

Every day, she would dress impeccably, presenting her most elegant self to the staff and guests.

She led by example, handling many tasks herself. If a guest was dissatisfied, she would personally intervene to resolve the issue.

Just as she finished resolving a minor issue, the second-floor supervisor approached her and said softly, "President Zheng, Young Master Zhu in Xizi Pavilion has requested your presence."

"Understood." Zheng Qiuhang nodded, then instructed the supervisor, "Prepare a bottle of red wine for me."

"Yes, President Zheng!"

The Young Master Zhu the supervisor mentioned was Zhu Jian’an, a wealthy playboy who held Li Garden Hall’s top-tier, ultra-platinum membership card.

No one, including Zheng Qiuhang, dared to show a hint of disrespect to such a guest.

’These people are our bread and butter!’

Li Garden Hall had private rooms and pavilions, each tier with a different minimum charge.

The most exclusive pavilions had a minimum charge of 500,000 yuan per night.

Xizi Pavilion’s minimum charge was 500,000 yuan a night.

Before she even reached the entrance of Xizi Pavilion, Zheng Qiuhang could hear a din from within, punctuated by the flirtatious protests of women.

Zheng Qiuhang knew someone was celebrating a birthday in Xizi Pavilion.

Young people’s birthday parties always got pretty wild. Worried about getting cake smeared on her the moment she walked in, she had already instructed an assistant to prepare a change of clothes.

Upon reaching the door to Xizi Pavilion, she quietly asked the attendant on duty a few questions before signaling for them to knock.

After the attendant knocked and the door was opened, Zheng Qiuhang glided into the pavilion.

Today, Zheng Qiuhang wore a form-fitting qipao that accentuated her figure. Her curvaceous body and delicate features were enough to make many men drool.

Already tall, she wore heels that were at least five centimeters high, making her tower over the crowd.

The moment she entered, all eyes in the pavilion fell upon her.

Zheng Qiuhang wasn’t the least bit nervous. Wearing a professional smile, she addressed the men and women in the room with warmth and grace. "Young masters, young ladies, welcome to Li Garden Hall. I’m the manager here, Zheng Qiuhang. I’ve come over specially to raise a glass to all of you and to wish you a wonderful time. For all your expenses here today, I’ll be giving you our best possible discount."

It was the birthday of a wealthy young master named Zhang Jinhong, and he had invited many friends to Li Garden Hall to celebrate. Seeing Zheng Qiuhang come to offer a toast, he felt very honored and quickly came forward to greet her. "Thank you, President Zheng!"

"I heard it’s Eldest Young Master Zhang’s birthday today. Allow me to wish you a very happy birthday." Zheng Qiuhang took a glass of red wine from an attendant behind her and gracefully toasted Zhang Jinhong. "Li Garden Hall will be sending over a special birthday gift for you shortly. I hope you’ll like it!"

"Thank you so much for your generous hospitality, President Zheng!" Zhang Jinhong said, thanking her again after clinking glasses with her.

Zheng Qiuhang had the attendant pour another glass. She raised it to everyone in the pavilion. "A warm welcome to all of you. I hope you have a truly wonderful evening here at Li Garden Hall."

After toasting everyone, Zheng Qiuhang gave the guests another smiling nod and turned to leave.

"President Zheng, please wait!" A young man sitting on a sofa stood up and called out to her. "Our Eldest Young Master Zhu wants to see you!"

Following his gaze, Zheng Qiuhang saw another young man on the sofa who was quite handsome and carried himself well.

Eldest Young Master Zhu, Zhu Jian’an, stood up and walked over to Zheng Qiuhang. He looked at her with a smirk. "President Zheng comes to offer a toast, but doesn’t have a private drink with me? Are you looking down on me? I was the one who had the attendant call you over."

His words made her heart sink. She could sense something was wrong from the look in Young Master Zhu’s eyes and his tone of voice.

Nevertheless, she responded with an elegant smile. "My apologies, Eldest Young Master Zhu. I’m new here, and this is my first time meeting Young Master Zhu, so I didn’t recognize you right away. That’s my fault entirely."

’Zhu Jian’an was the one who brought this group in today. He’s the one with the ultra-platinum card. His status here is likely the highest of them all.’

Not daring to be negligent, Zheng Qiuhang signaled for the attendant to pour her more red wine and raised her glass to Zhu Jian’an. "Eldest Young Master Zhu, allow me to offer you a toast."

Zhu Jian’an narrowed his eyes, watching as Zheng Qiuhang drank the half-glass of red wine. His gaze then roamed over her chest, waist, and legs, a predatory glint in his eyes that he didn’t bother to hide. He raised his glass with a grin. "I’ve long heard a stunning new beauty had arrived at Li Garden Hall. Now that I’ve seen you, I can confirm the rumors are true. Here’s to President Zheng’s beauty!"

After Zhu Jian’an downed his drink, Zheng Qiuhang elegantly raised her empty glass. "Thank you, Eldest Young Master Zhu. Eldest Young Master Zhu, Eldest Young Master Zhang, all you young masters and ladies, please enjoy yourselves. I must get back to my duties now, but once I’m free, I’ll come back and drink with you all!"

"President Zheng, don’t be in such a hurry to leave." Zhu Jian’an blocked her path. He stared at her with a taunting look. "President Zheng, I made a special request for you to come over, and now you’re leaving? That’s not very respectful. I just told my buddies here that you would definitely be joining us for the whole night. So why don’t you sit down, and we can drink nice and slow!"

Immediately, another man sidled up, a lecherous grin on his face. "That’s right, President Zheng. When Young Master Zhu invites you to drink, he’s showing you respect. Come on, sit down!"

Zheng Qiuhang’s expression faltered, but she kept a smile plastered on her face and her tone remained elegant. "My apologies, young masters, but there is a lot going on outside. I’ve only just taken over Li Garden Hall, and there are many things that require my attention. How about this? I’ll come back to have a drink with you as soon as I have a free moment!"

She even flashed a charming smile at Zhang Jinhong, who was nearby. "And maybe I can have a slice of Eldest Young Master Zhang’s birthday cake at the same time."

"President Zheng, you’re really pushing it!" Zhu Jian’an’s brow furrowed, his face turning cold as he barked, "I told you to sit, so sit! Cut the crap! Young Master Zhang, fill her glass to the brim!"

"I’m sorry, Eldest Young Master Zhu!" The smile vanished from Zheng Qiuhang’s face. "I’m truly sorry, but I have work I must attend to. Please excuse me!"

To her shock, Zhu Jian’an forcefully smashed his wine glass against her. His face twisted into a savage sneer. "You fucking bitch! I tried to be nice, but you’re just shameless! When I tell you to sit, you sit! Do that, or I’ll make you crawl out of here!"
