Chapter 44 – Give her a taste of her own medicine


This is a woman.

The speed at which she changes her face is comparable to flipping a book.

Moreover, Zou Xiaoxian mentioned several times that she wanted someone, referring to Su Mei.

Looking at her posture, she seemed to be defending Su Mei.

I am naturally indifferent.

Especially to such aggressive bosses.

I have no patience at all.

I glanced at Zou Xiaoxian and said coldly:

“If General Zou thinks I’m worthless, then we should…”

“Chu Liu!”

I was interrupted by Su Mei before I could finish.

Then, she looked at Zou Xiaoxian and said with a smile:

“Xiaoxian, haven’t you always been craving for Cui Xian Ju? I’ve reserved a spot early, let’s go now. If we don’t go, the reservation will be cancelled…”

I knew Su Mei was looking out for me.

She didn’t want me to fall out with Zou Xiaoxian.

She sincerely hoped that I could stay in the gambling den as a hidden light.

After all, the world is dangerous.

As a swindler without any backing, it’s easy for me to fail.

Zou Xiaoxian thought for a moment, stood up and said:

“You really know me, Su Mei. I’ve been craving for their foie gras. Let’s go…”

As she spoke, Zou Xiaoxian turned to look at me again and said lightly:

“Let’s go together!”

I didn’t want to go.

But seeing Su Mei’s almost pleading expression, I nodded slightly.

I followed the two of them downstairs.

Zou Xiaoxian’s car was a black Range Rover.

The driver drove, and she sat in the back.

I got into Su Mei’s A4.

As soon as I got in the car, Su Mei said with some concern:

“Master Chu Liu, I didn’t tell you about Xiaoxian’s personality before. She’s very competitive and never admits defeat. She’s cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and she doesn’t have many complicated thoughts. Actually, she’s very simple…”

Simple?

I couldn’t help but glance at Su Mei.

When Zou Xiaoxian was cold, her words were sharp and cutting.

When she smiled, it felt like a spring breeze.

After changing her face, she could be heart-wrenching.

At the same time, she was in charge of a bathing center and two casinos.

Would such a woman be simple?

I don’t believe it!

I think the simple one is Su Mei.

Seeing that I didn’t speak, Su Mei continued:

“I know you have a strong personality. But you can’t be arrogant because of your talent. You need to understand that you are now working for Xiaoxian. You can’t confront her, you need to learn to bow your head, to yield…”

What Su Mei said was not unreasonable.

But, she doesn’t understand me.

And she doesn’t understand a word, rules.

From the day I became a disciple of Master Liu.

Master Liu told me.

The relationship between a top swindler and a boss.

Is cooperation, is equality.

If there must be a hierarchy.

Then it’s the swindler on top, and the boss second.

Never because the boss gives some loose change.

Consider yourself a watchdog.

Remember, we rely on skills.

Help the boss make money, keep his gambling den safe.

If the boss is arrogant, then fire him.

With skills, where can’t you make a living, and have a house full of gold and jade?

Of course, I don’t want to explain this to Su Mei.

After all, we are not in the same world.

The Cui Xian Ju that Su Mei mentioned is a restaurant by the Liu Jin River.

The location here is excellent, with a wide view and the sound of the water.

It gives people a feeling of ancient elegance.

The dishes here do not belong to any cuisine.

It’s the boss’s unique old dishes made new, made in a Western style.

Our private room was on the third floor.

Not long after we sat down, the table was filled with delicious dishes.

During the meal, I thought Zou Xiaoxian might ask me something.

But to my surprise.

She didn’t ask anything.

And, she didn’t even look at me once.

She and Su Mei were chatting all the time.

And they were all irrelevant topics.

Perhaps to avoid making me feel awkward, Su Mei pointed to a plate of freshly served foie gras and said to me:

“Chu Liu, try this. This is their signature dish, abalone sauce French truffle foie gras…”

Just hearing this name.

Like Su Mei said before, it’s made in a Western style.

The dish was exquisite, and the portion was small.

There were only three pieces of truffle and foie gras.

And on top, besides the decoration.

It was just abalone sauce.

I took a bite.

Su Mei immediately asked me:

“How does it taste?”

“Not bad!”

I nodded slightly.

As soon as my voice fell.

Zou Xiaoxian put down her chopsticks.

She picked up a napkin and elegantly wiped her mouth.

Looking at me, she said with a hint of provocation:

“Not bad? So it’s just average?”

I was silent.

Seeing that I didn’t speak.

Zou Xiaoxian snorted and continued:

“This truffle is imported from Italy. The foie gras is air-shipped from France. In your mouth, this is just ‘not bad’?”

I knew.

This meal wouldn’t be easy to eat.

Zou Xiaoxian had already started.

From the moment we met.

Zou Xiaoxian has been suppressing me everywhere.

No matter what her purpose is.

In any case, I should give her a taste of her own medicine.

I also put down my chopsticks and said lightly:

“This is not the air-shipped foie gras from France you mentioned…”

“Impossible!”

Zou Xiaoxian looked at me confidently.

“There’s nothing impossible!”

I replied coldly.

“Good, you love to gamble, right? Let’s bet, are you in?”

“What are we betting on?””If you lose, you’ll work as a waitress in the gambling den for a year. Remember, without pay…”

Zou Xiaoxian was brimming with confidence.

“And if you lose?”

“You say!”

“If you lose, you’ll walk back from here!”

Zou Xiaoxian was slightly taken aback.

The distance from here to the company was about ten kilometers.

Walking would take at least three hours.

And Zou Xiaoxian was wearing high heels.

But she still nodded proudly.

“Fine, it’s a bet!”

Zou Xiaoxian certainly had the capital to be proud.

The young lady of the Zou Family, she had been pampered since childhood.

She was used to all kinds of grand scenes.

In her eyes, losing was impossible.

“What kind of bet is this, over a piece of foie gras. Forget it, let’s eat…”

Su Mei gave me a glare.

I knew.

Su Mei was hinting at me.

I was bound to lose.

After all, she and Zou Xiaoxian frequented this restaurant.

And I was here for the first time.

Moreover, it was my first time eating this dish.

“No, we must bet!”

Zou Xiaoxian said, and then called the boss in.

The boss also knew Zou Xiaoxian.

Upon seeing her, he politely asked:

“General Zou, what can I do for you? Is today’s dish not to your taste?”

Zou Xiaoxian slowly shook her head.

She pointed at the foie gras and asked:

“Where is this foie gras from?”

As soon as Zou Xiaoxian finished speaking.

The boss immediately gave her a thumbs up.

“General Zou is indeed knowledgeable, our previous foie gras was all air-shipped from France. But recently we ran out, so we chose a substitute. I didn’t expect that General Zou would taste the difference…”

Zou Xiaoxian, who had just been smiling confidently.

Her face turned pale at this moment.

She seemed unwilling to believe the boss’s words.

She immediately asked:

“What did you say? This foie gras is not from France?”

The boss still didn’t know what had happened.

He asked Zou Xiaoxian with a smile:

“General Zou, this is indeed not from France. Can you tell me how you tasted the difference?”

Zou Xiaoxian’s face turned red with anger.

But she couldn’t vent her anger.

She could only point at me and say unhappily:

“It’s not me, it’s him!”
