Chapter 23 My body is not your turn to comment

Hearing that the man was so offensive to her, Yu Li immediately darkened her face. She crossed her arms and retorted mercilessly, “Who are you? It's your turn to tell me what my figure is like? And, please, are you here? Before you judge others, do you first look down at your own beer belly?”

Because she was angry, Yu Li did not control her volume, and her reply to the wretched man happened to be overheard by passers-by.

The two men glanced at the male store manager's bulging belly and let out low sneers.

The passers-by's ridicule made the male store manager feel ashamed. He blushed and glared at Yu Li, "Hey! How dare you talk to me with such an attitude?! Do you not want this job?"

Yu Li was too lazy to pay attention to him, turned around and walked out a few steps, but heard the male store manager calling someone on the phone.

"What's going on, Xiao Min? Didn't you say that the person you introduced is beautiful and has a soft personality, so he can still accept wearing a three-point style? Are you fucking kidding me?!"

The man's complaint fell into Yu Li's ears word for word, and she blinked unconsciously, unable to believe what she heard.

Xiao Min.

The friend Xiao Min who introduced her to the job was her classmate in high school, Xiao Min.

The person who spoke to the wretched male store manager was also named Xiao Min.

Is it a coincidence?

Yu Li was in a daze.

She never believed in coincidences.

However, she did not want to doubt a friend who had been eager to help her find a job after understanding her predicament.

Yu Li felt confused.

She walked into a coffee shop with her head covered and chose a seat next to the wall.

She took out her mobile phone from her bag, unlocked it, and clicked on the chat dialog box between her and Xiao Min.

The conversation between the two still stayed on the message Yu Li sent 30 minutes ago [I have arrived at Yinmao Plaza].

Xiao Min did not reply to her message.

Yu Li picked up the phone and sent her another message.

[Yu Li: Xiao Min, it was you who told the male store manager that I could accept wearing a three-point style? 】

The person on the other side made no move.

However, when Yu Li sent the message, the system reminded her that she was no longer the friend's friend.

Xiao Min deleted her.

If she didn't have a guilty conscience, Xiao Min could deny it openly.

But she deleted herself...

The fingers holding the phone tightened unconsciously, Yu Li's heart throbbed, and a trace of bitterness spread in her eyes.

She thought she and Xiao Min were friends, but she didn't expect that the other party hated her so much, even to the point where he could slander her in front of strange men without any scruples.

Yu Li covered his face with his hands.

What flashed through her mind was the scene of her and Xiao Min walking together in high school.

The picture gradually fell apart until it was broken and incomplete.

A tear escaped from Yu Li's fingers.

When the cup of vanilla latte she ordered was brought to her hand, Yu Li had already sorted out her emotions.

She picked up the porcelain cup and took a few sips, then began to think about how to find a part-time job that suited her.

After making the plan, Yu Li started taking action.

She first went to a large chain of daily necessities stores in the square and asked if they were looking for part-time jobs. She checked several stores but couldn't find a suitable one.

Then, Yu Li went non-stop to various major restaurant chains. Although some of them accepted part-time jobs on weekends and nights, Yu Li was not satisfied with the salaries they offered.

After running around Yinmao Plaza for several hours, Yu Li asked almost all the shops in the square.

The last restaurant she went to was a French restaurant on the top floor of the square.

The restaurant occupies half of the top floor. The large open space from the square escalator to the front of the restaurant is arranged into a French-style open-air palace manor. There are not only large lawns and small flower gardens, but also an exquisite stone fountain.

Just when Yu Li was debating whether to go in, a waiter in palace attire walked out. He first gave Yu Li a gentleman's salute, then raised his head and asked her, "Hello, madam, Please show me your membership card."

Yu Li was a little embarrassed, "Well, I, I'm not a member of your restaurant."

The waiter didn't show any impatience or contempt when he heard this.

He smiled and said, “Sorry, our restaurant is a membership system and non-members are not allowed in. Thank you."

"...I'm not here to eat. I just want to ask if your restaurant is still short of people?"

Yu Li was focused on finding a job and did not notice that her "tenant" was discussing business in a high-end restaurant less than ten meters away from her.

The elite man sitting opposite Yan Shiheng introduced the project to him with excitement.

"Mr. Yan, I can assure you that our project will definitely make a profit..."

Yan Shiheng flipped through the plan in his hand, but there was no interest in his eyes.

"A guaranteed profit without loss? For your company, this is indeed a guaranteed profit without loss project, but how much can our Yan family earn? Five million or three million?"

"Snapped."

The thick document was thrown back in front of the elite man. Yan Shiheng leaned back on the sofa and opened his eyelids to glance at the latter who had a guilty look on his face.

"The Yan family doesn't want this kind of project."

As soon as the low voice fell, the elite man quickly stood up from his seat, bowed to Yan Shiheng, and left the scene as if running away.

Yan Shiheng was the only one left in the private room. He took out his mobile phone, put on his Bluetooth headset, and made a call.

"Cheng Yijin, will you not refuse the arrival of the Yan family who is already in decline?"

Cheng Yijin was silent for a while, "Sorry, Mr. Yan. I will strictly review the qualifications of the partners in the future."

Yan Shiheng hung up the phone without giving any answer.

Just when he walked out of the private room and came to the front hall of the restaurant, Yan Shiheng noticed Yu Li who was talking to the waiter.

His first reaction was that Yu Li was following him.

However, because the two were far apart, Yan Shiheng could not hear clearly what she was saying to the waiter.

All she saw was that Yu Li bowed to the waiter standing opposite her, then turned and walked towards the escalator.

When the waiter walked into the store, Yan Shiheng heard the conversation between him and the front desk staff.

Waiter, “The girl who wanted to work part-time in our store just now looks so cute, but it's a pity that we are not short of people here..."

Yan Shiheng captured the keyword "part-time job" in the waiter's words.

Only then did he remember that Yu Li seemed to have mentioned last night that she was going to work part-time at Yinmao Plaza today.

But it seems that her part-time job is not going smoothly.

Thinking that he had maliciously speculated on Yu Li just now, Yan Shiheng looked in the direction where the latter left.

After walking out of the restaurant, Yan Shiheng called Cheng Yijin again.

Cheng Yijin didn't expect that Yan Shiheng would call her twice in one day.

She thought it was the partner she chose that gave Yan Shiheng a very bad impression.

Just when she was struggling with how to apologize in order to get "lenient treatment", she heard Yan Shiheng ask her if she could help introduce some part-time jobs.
