Lu Man sent her son to the nursery school and took two more buses before returning to the Chaoyang Hotel. She went into the dressing room and changed clothes and came out. She was already five minutes late.
She ran to the training room and walked in with a blushing face. Manager Zhou, who was in charge of catering, glanced at her with some displeasure. Seeing her pleading eyes, he swallowed the words that came to her lips.
"For Mr. Ye's golden wedding banquet tomorrow night, Jinhe Hall has already been booked by the Ye family. If you have something to do, please cancel it for me. If you are on vacation, please postpone it. Tomorrow night's banquet is extremely important. You must engrave all the etiquette for me.
It's in my head." Zhou Meiru's eyes glanced at the dark crowd of heads in the training room, and she said solemnly with her hands behind her back: "Somewhere is the problem, I'm sorry, get out of here right now, what we in Chaoyang want are all-round service experts."
She looked around at everyone, cleared her throat, and then said: "Those bosses who treat me as young ladies and young men must be more alert for me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being unreasonable."
The people below were very quiet, no one was whispering to each other, everyone stood up straight. When they heard this, they couldn't help shouting loudly in unison.
Lu Man frowned and looked at Zhou Meiru who hesitated to speak. Her son went to kindergarten today and the teacher said that tomorrow was the school anniversary. The children had already prepared a program and parents would come by then. He hoped that she could also participate. She had already
accepted
What should I do now? My son has finally entered kindergarten, and there is such a festival. If she can't attend, En En will be so sad? Besides, it's such a time again.
While I was lost in thought, my body was suddenly bumped slightly. It turned out that the meeting had ended, and my colleagues were walking out of the training room one after another.
Lu Man also followed, turning back three times at a time. He saw several ministers and deputy managers surrounding Zhou Meiru. Thinking of his son's big expectant eyes, he bit his lip and walked over.
Zhou Meiru was handing over work to several of her subordinates. When she saw the hesitant Lu Man, her face with light makeup suddenly sank.
After shooing away a few of his subordinates, Zhou Meiru spoke first: "If you want to ask for leave or something, you don't have to ask."
Lu Man raised his head sharply, with pleading eyes, and said hesitantly: "Manager Zhou, I, my son has a school anniversary tomorrow, can't I just ask for two hours?"
Zhou Meiru frowned and said displeasedly: "I only asked for three days' leave in the past. How long have you been here? It's less than a month. You can calculate how much leave you have taken intermittently."
Lu Man's fair face turned red and she lowered her head without saying a word.
She also knew that her request was excessive, but she didn't want to ask for leave if possible.
"Again, can't you? Manager Zhou, I beg you," Lu Man asked shamelessly
Zhou Meiru shook her head, looking at her humble pleading, her tone was soft: "I know it's hard for you to raise your child alone, but you have to distinguish between public and private matters. God knows how much pressure I have endured for you?"
She sympathized with Lu Man who was raising her child alone, but her work was more important and the leaders above her already had some objections, so it was difficult for her to do it.
"I'm not afraid to tell you. Mr. Li has long had objections to you asking for leave for three days at five o'clock. If you ask for leave again, you don't have to come," Zhou Meiru said hard-heartedly.
Lu Man's face turned pale, she bit her lip and lowered her head: "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
"Go out to do some work." Zhou Meiru turned around and picked up the water glass without looking at her.
Lu Man walked out. In the tea room, several young girls saw her coming out. They couldn't help but put away their smiles and glanced at her with some contempt.
"Some people just pretend to be pitiful. They really think that this hotel belongs to them. Come when you want to come and ask for leave if you want. Huh." A beautiful girl raised her voice slightly.
"Yes, what bothers me the most are those shameless people," another girl echoed
There was another girl who was kinder. She glanced at Lu Man sympathetically and said to the other two, "Stop talking and do things, otherwise Sister Fang will punish us."
Lu Man watched a few people leave, biting her lower lip. She knew that she often asked for leave, but Zhou Meiru approved it. The girl who first spoke once asked for leave because she wanted to date her boyfriend, but Zhou Meiru did not approve it.
That made her jealous
No wonder there are rivers and lakes wherever there are people, and battlefields wherever there is a workplace. She has never experienced office struggles, but to be honest, in this workplace, it is really difficult for her to deal with it.
But she can't lose this job. Otherwise, how can she find a high-paying job to support Enen in kindergarten and support their mother and son?
No matter how wronged I am, I can only endure it
Near noon, the catering department in Chaoyang became busy. Several VIP private rooms were fully booked. Lu Man was so busy that she made a mistake. She accidentally splashed a drop of red wine on a lady's white dress.
On woolen coat
Zhou Meiru made amends, apologized, and promised to pay for laundry and dry cleaning before she coaxed the sarcastic woman away. Lu Man's fate was undoubtedly to have his wages and points deducted and he was scolded.
Sitting on the toilet in the bathroom, Lu Man's eyes stung from crying. She checked the time, then walked out and put powder on her face again to touch up her makeup. However, her eyes were still red.
Lu Man walked out of the bathroom languidly. He was still complacent. He didn't pay attention to someone in front of him and bumped into him.
"Sorry, sorry sir." She looked at the pair of shoes of the person in front of her with fear. They were Armani brand leather shoes. She recognized them at a glance.
She can't make any more mistakes, she can't lose this job
"sorry Sorry"
"It's okay, did you bump into it?" A voice as gentle as the spring breeze sounded from above his head, something strange and familiar, and Lu Man couldn't help but raise his head.
The man in front of him has short, ear-length hair and is shiny black. His eyes under his eyebrows are slightly concerned, and they are as warm as water, like a pool of hot spring water. Under his tall nose, there are thick and thin lips, and the corners of his lips are quite thick.
With a gentle smile on his face, his noble and elegant temperament was revealed faintly.
He? Lu Man was slightly startled. The memories in his mind came out like a tide. Who was he? He almost remembered it.
The man was equally surprised. Looking at Lu Man's doubtful and slightly startled eyes, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Miss Lu"
"Mr. Dong"
Lu Man said the same thing, and the two of them were stunned for a moment, then laughed and said at the same time: "Why is it such a coincidence?"
Hearing her question, the smile on Dong Jin's mouth grew bigger. Seeing her thin and thin figure, but not hiding the beautiful smile on her face, he suddenly felt a sense of loss and recovery.
