Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

Tan Lian turned around and looked at Fu Zhengting, nodding and saying, "Yes, boss, that girl is very hardworking and smart. She's also beautiful and has a great figure, making her perfect for being a greeter."

As he spoke, he carefully observed Fu Zhengting's reaction.

The boss really did know Mu Tiantian.

The reaction seemed to be recalling something, and the pain was evident in the eyes.

Fu Zhengting recalled the promise he made to Mu Tiantian before his business trip to Hong Kong. At that time, he was thinking of arranging a position as the president's assistant for Mu Tiantian when he returned, so that he could see her at any time.

He doesn't want to see her now!

Seeing her makes me feel annoyed and my mood becomes terrible.

However, he was very curious about one thing: why was she so ambitious, yet willing to work here as a low-paid greeter?

He didn't want to speculate anymore.

From then on, everything about Mu Tiantian had nothing to do with him.

Since the contact information has been deleted, there shouldn't be even the slightest lingering thought.

She can continue working as a greeter here; that's her freedom as a job seeker.

He simply won't come here.

He poured himself another glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Tan Lian has confirmed that Fu Zhengting is in a really bad mood, and he can also confirm that the boss and Mu Tiantian know each other.

The boss asked a question but didn't follow up, leaving him somewhat confused.

With a regular customer accompanying him, the boss had nothing to worry about and quietly left.

As he closed the door, he thought about Fu Zhengting's drunkenness.

Uncle Zhong, the driver, didn't come up for dinner; the boss simply didn't drive.

Suddenly, a person flashed through my mind.

He excitedly flipped through his contacts and saw that Wen Kerou's phone number was saved.

Like many of Fu's employees, he felt sorry for the couple's divorce, especially regarding Wen Kerou, the boss's wife.

Wen Kerou always greeted him with a smile whenever she came to the restaurant, so he had a very good impression of her.

He felt he had to give the landlady a hand.

He dialed Wen Kerou's number while walking.

Wen Kerou was painting in her studio and was just about to get up and go out for some fresh air when she received Tan Lian's call, which puzzled her.

She had a note in her contacts, but she wasn't familiar with Tan Lian, so she was inevitably surprised when he suddenly called.

I answered the call with a bit of curiosity.

Upon hearing Tan Lian say that Fu Zhengting was entertaining old clients at Fu's Restaurant and might get drunk, she excitedly stood up abruptly.

If she gets drunk, wouldn't she have a chance?!

She suppressed her excitement and told Tan Lian that she would be there right away.

This time, she won't miss it again.

If she gets pregnant with Fu Zhengting's child on the first try, the chances of getting back together will be much greater.

These days, she has been staying in her studio, trying to distract herself by painting, but she can't calm down at all.

The thought of Fu Zhengting looking down at the documents and smiling like a child made her feel a tightness in her chest.

Back then, she wasn't brave enough to tell Fu Zhengting how she felt. This time, she wants to bravely fight for her love.

She asked Anan, who said that Fu Zhengting and the girl he liked had not officially started dating, so she was not a third party.

Besides, it was she who liked Fu Zhengting first.

The gloom that had been building up in her heart these past few days had vanished, and it felt like the whole world had brightened up. She smiled, grabbed her car keys, and happily drove to the restaurant.

Tan Lian received Wen Kerou's reply, confirming that she would come, and went about his business with peace of mind.

Ever since Mu Tiantian went down from the third floor, she has been somewhat absent-minded.

Fu Zhengting's questioning gaze would often creep into her mind.

Several times, several guests came up to her, but she didn't even realize it.

She only came to her senses when Xu Zhiling called her.

She had been hoping to stay at the restaurant, but now she's considering quitting.

This is Fu Zhengting's restaurant, so it's inevitable that you'll run into him often.

She was afraid that Fu Zhengting would think she was here as a greeter because she wanted to continue to attract his attention in this way.

Moreover, if those two rich kids come to the restaurant often, she can handle them once, but she can't handle them every time.

He took out the business card Qin Fei had given him and saw that he had run into Qin Fei at that moment, and now he had nowhere else to go.

After careful consideration, she decided to tell Tan Lian after get off work that she was quitting.

Seeing that Mu Tiantian looked preoccupied, Xu Zhiling took advantage of the fact that there weren't many customers yet and asked the question that had been bothering her, "Mu Tiantian, do you know Fu Zhengting?"

"So what if I know you? So what if I don't? I don't want to tell you," Mu Tiantian retorted.

That's so gossipy; if I asked, they'd definitely spread rumors about her everywhere.

Xu Zhiling was so embarrassed by the choking that she lost face.

At that moment, a young couple arrived and booked a private room on the third floor.

Mu Tiantian was afraid of running into Fu Zhengting and didn't want to go up, so she asked Xu Zhiling to bring people up.

Hsu Chih-ling was still annoyed after being rebuffed, so she deliberately said sarcastically, "Sorry, I'm in a hurry and need to go to the restroom."

With that, she strolled away leisurely.

Mu Tiantian gritted her teeth and stared at Xu Zhiling's retreating figure.

The couple looked at her with furrowed brows, clearly displeased.

She doesn't plan to continue; if the customers are unhappy, so be it.

However, she felt that this was not right, and that she was letting down Manager Tan who had taken good care of her.

She smiled at the couple, led them to the elevator, and went up with them.

As luck would have it, the private room booked by the couple was right next to Fu Zhengting's private room.

Inside the private room, Fu Zhengting was already quite drunk.

He opened the last bottle of wine, too lazy to pour any more, and simply tilted his head back and drank it straight from the bottle.

He clearly hates getting drunk and indulging in such a dissolute way, but he still drank.

He became the person he hated most.

Because I didn't sleep all night, my eyes were very sore and dry. I also drank alcohol, which made my head feel dizzy and even worse.

With her other hand, she pinched the bridge of her nose. When she closed her eyes, all she could see was Qin Fei smiling at Mu Tiantian. Did Mu Tiantian actually sleep with this Qin Fei? Thinking about this question felt like a thorn growing in her heart. She wanted to pull the thorn out, but she couldn't. Instead, the thorn went deeper and deeper.

Seeing Fu Zhengting so depressed, the long-time client couldn't resist his curiosity and asked directly, "Mr. Fu, what's making you unhappy? Why don't you tell me?"

Fu Zhengting then realized his lapse in composure. He had intended to treat his long-time client well, but his emotions had given the client a bad experience.

He sincerely apologized, "Mr. Liu, I'm so sorry..."

The long-time customer patted Fu Zhengting on the shoulder, indicating his understanding.

Feeling the need to use the restroom after drinking too much, Fu Zhengting stood up and said to his regular customer, "I need to use the restroom."

His long-time client wanted to accompany Fu Zhengting, but he refused.

He had just opened the door when he saw Mu Tiantian bringing up a couple of customers...
