Fog clears from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 73 Give me a reason

Ye Ling drooped her eyelids in disappointment, "The manager said it himself. He said he wanted to give the customers an explanation. I can be responsible for all the medical expenses, but I really need this job."

Sang Yu picked up the phone on the table and said, "Give me the manager's phone number and I'll tell him."

Ye Ling suddenly felt a glimmer of hope, "Thank you!"

Sang Yu dialed the number.

After a few rings, he was answered, and he asked: "Hello, who are you?"

Sang Yu said politely: "Hello, I am the customer who was burned while eating in your shop at noon yesterday. My name is Sang Yu."

Upon hearing this, the manager immediately showed a 100% polite attitude, "I'm sorry, Miss Sang. We sincerely apologize for the harm and loss caused to you and your friends. Don't worry, we will be responsible for the medical expenses to the end. If you come to our restaurant to dine in the future, you will be free of charge." , as for that frivolous waiter, he will never appear in our restaurant in the future."

Sang Yu spoke up: "She didn't mean it. She's not ready to be fired yet. We'll accept the apology and forget about it."

The manager said hesitantly: "This...Ms. Sang, I am also in a dilemma. We cannot afford to offend Mr. Xi."

That person was someone who even the owner of their restaurant would treat with respect when meeting him.

Sang Yu was confused: "Is he going to pursue it?"

The manager conveyed what Xi Jinbai meant, "Mr. Xi said that he must be given a satisfactory result."

"Okay, I understand." Sang Yu ended the call.

The hopes that Ye Ling had just raised were all extinguished. She suppressed the sadness in her heart and said, "If it's really difficult, forget it. This matter is indeed my fault, and I should bear the consequences."

Sang Yu comforted her: "You go back and wait for the news. I will do my best."

Ye Ling and her friends were grateful, "Thank you, Miss Sang."

"fine."

After they left, Sang Yu called Xi Jinbai, but no one answered, so she had to call Cheng Xiang, "Assistant Cheng, is Xi Jinbai busy? I have something to do with him."

"Mr. Xi has gone back to the hotel to rest. I don't know. If you are in a hurry, you can go to the hotel to find him. He is in Royal Executive Suite 7301."

"Okay, thank you."

The hotel is not far from here. Sang Yu took a taxi and arrived in 20 minutes.

The executive suite was on the 73rd floor. Sang Yu found Xi Jinbai's room according to the room number and pressed the doorbell.

In the suite, Mu Jingchuan and Xi Jinbai were discussing the recent securities trading market.

The doorbell interrupted their conversation.

Mu Jingchuan asked, "Have you made an appointment yet?"

Xi Jinbai leaned against the sofa, with his legs crossed and his posture relaxed, and his voice was very calm: "No."

"I'll go see who it is." Mu Jingchuan stood up and opened the door.

Just as Sang Yu was about to press the button a second time, the door opened from the inside.

Mu Jingchuan looked at her in surprise, "Miss Sang?"

He often hears Sang Yu's name from Tong Tong and has met her before, so Mu Jingchuan knows her.

Sang Yu nodded and said hello, "Mr. Mu, is Xi Jinbai here?"

Mu Jingchuan became more and more confused, "Are you looking for him?"

"Well, is he busy?" Sang Yu asked.

Mu Jingchuan knew Xi Jinbai's rules and did not dare to let her in rashly, "Wait a moment and I will ask for you."

"Okay, thank you."

He closed the door first and returned to the study.

Xi Jinbai lit a cigarette and bit it between his lips, playing with a metal lighter in his left hand. The shiny shell reflected the outline of his facial features, "Who?"

"Sang Yu, what does she want to do with you?" Mu Jingchuan didn't know the relationship between Sang Yu and Xi Jinbai, so he couldn't figure out what they could talk about.

"Where's the person?" Xi Jinbai immediately twisted the cigarette butt and put out the fire in the ashtray on the coffee table. Mu Jingchuan pointed to the door, "Still outside..."

Xi Jinbai looked at him displeased, "Are you locking people out?"

"What's wrong?" Mu Jingchuan didn't know why.

Xi Jinbai ignored him and went straight out to open the door.

Mu Jingchuan felt baffled, "...I can't just let people in."

The door opens again.

Xi Jinbai stood by the door, looking at Sang Yu, and his voice softened, "What's wrong? What do you want from me? Come in and tell me."

"Are you busy? I can wait until you finish."

"I'm not busy." After saying that, Xi Jinbai glanced back at Mu Jingchuan, "You can go."

"what?"

Mu Jingchuan was mercilessly ordered to be kicked out. He never figured out what the relationship between Xi Jinbai and Sang Yu was.

He has known Xi Jinbai for so many years and knows that he is a person with a strong sense of boundaries. He never welcomes anyone he is not familiar with in his private sphere, and all business and private matters are discussed outside.

Also, his attitude towards Sang Yu was too strange, as if... he was looking forward to her coming. None of the other princesses in the Xi family were treated like this.

Puzzled, Mu Jingchuan called his girlfriend while walking to the parking lot, "Baby, what is the relationship between your best friend and my brother Xi Jinbai?"

"Why do you ask?"

"She just came to the hotel to see my brother."

"You don't care what their relationship is, grown men, don't be too nosy."

Tong Tong had never told anyone about Sang Yu, and it was impossible to tell Mu Jingchuan too much.

"From what you're saying, they have a very personal relationship." Mu Jingchuan had a bold guess in his mind, "Holy crap! Isn't Sang Yu the sweetheart that my brother Jinwu hides?"

Tong Tong: "..."

With this idea, Mu Jingchuan quickly recalled that when he rear-ended him, Xi Jinbai was not here to care about him at all, but to care about Sang Yu!
-
Sang Yu followed Xi Jinbai into the living room.

The hotel's executive suites have more complete home facilities than at home.

The view is wide, and the bustling city center is visible outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Xi Jinbai walked to the bar and asked Sang Yu what he wanted to drink.

"No, I'm not thirsty."

He still got her a bottle of juice.

Sang Yu had no choice but to take it and thank him.

Xi Jinbai sat down on the sofa to her left, his eyes fixed on her face.

Sang Yu pinched the drink bottle in his hand and asked, "Xi Jinbai, can you not hold that staff member accountable for his fault?"

Xi Jinbai didn't expect that she came here for this matter, "Did he intercede with you?"

He frowned slightly, "Give me a reason."

"She didn't mean it. Everyone makes mistakes. I just don't think it's time to fire someone." Sang Yu paused, "I know this request is unreasonable to you. After all, the injured person is you."

Xi Jinbai sighed almost inaudibly, "You become soft-hearted too easily."

Sometimes being too kind and too talkative is not a good thing, and you can easily suffer and be bullied.

Sang Yu closed his eyes and remained silent.

"It's not an excuse to be careless. There are rules in the workplace. If you make a mistake, you should bear the consequences." Xi Jinbai's voice deepened: "Have you ever thought about the consequences if that bowl of soup was poured all over you? She lost it. I can’t afford to pay for several jobs.”
