Five years after their breakup, a prominent lawyer is desperately seeking reconciliation.

The next evening, Jiang Wan went to work.

Upon arrival, Eric gathered all the waiters together and gave them repeated instructions.

"There are several people serving us on the third floor today, all of whom are people we can't afford to offend. Everyone must be very careful."

"But most importantly..."

His eyes lingered on each person's face for a moment.

"Be mindful of your actions, protect yourself, and absolutely do not entertain any wicked thoughts, understand?"

"clear."

Jiang Wan followed behind him, holding the roster and helping to take attendance.

"Huh? Someone's missing. Where's Ah Xiang? Why isn't Ah Xiang here?"

Eric immediately went to count the heads and found that Ah Xiang was indeed missing, and he immediately panicked.

"Where's Ah Xiang? She's in charge of room 25 today, she absolutely can't mess this up, go find her quickly!"

A thin little girl in the line raised her hand tremblingly.

"Sister Xiang ate something wrong tonight and has been to the bathroom several times. She went again just now."

As soon as he finished speaking, a girl with heavy makeup clutched her stomach and leaned against the wall, slowly moving over.

"manager."

Her face was ashen, and she looked like she was about to collapse at any moment.

Jiang Wan immediately went to support her: "How are you? Can you hold on?"

Ah Xiang clutched her stomach, almost crying in distress: "I was craving something sweet at lunchtime and secretly ate two packs of spicy strips, who knew..."

Eric frowned and stared at her for a long time before suddenly pointing at Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan was startled: "Didn't you say I was only responsible for helping out?"

"Sister Wan, please help me. I'll treat you to a meal when I'm better, okay?"

Ah Xiang looked at her pleadingly.

"Ah Xiang, it's not that I don't want to help you, I really don't know how. The manager said it's a very important reception, what if I mess it up..."

Eric bit his lower lip: "Room 24 is right next to Ah Zhen. Jiang Wan, if you have any questions, just ask Ah Zhen."

A pretty young woman with short hair immediately raised her hand: "No problem, manager."

"Jiang Wan, you absolutely cannot mess this up. The drinks ordered by the guests in this private room alone are enough to meet our KPI for this quarter."

Jiang Wan gasped, immediately wanting to back out.

Eric, however, gave her no further reason to refuse, urging her to change her clothes and having Ah Zhen take her to get her makeup done.

"Damn it, aren't you short of money? Don't mess this up tonight, and I'll give you a bonus—5% of the private room's bill, okay?"

Jiang Wan hesitated for a moment, and was then pulled by Ah Zhen to the dressing room on the first floor.

Half an hour later, Eric's voice came through the walkie-talkie on the dressing table.

"Jiang Wan, A-Zhen, the guest in room 25 has arrived."

Ah Zhen immediately took out a lipstick from her bag and dabbed it on Jiang Wan's lips.

Then, looking at his own work, he couldn't help but praise it.

"Sister Wan, you're so beautiful. I only did a little makeup and I look this good."

Jiang Wan smiled and pinched her round, adorable face.

"It's mainly because of your superb skills; every stroke you make is a masterpiece. Alright, let's go up now."

As the two walked upstairs, Ah Zhen comforted Jiang Wan.

"Don't be afraid, Sister Wan. I was nervous on my first day of work too, but actually all the customers were very nice and gave me a lot of tips."

"I'm not afraid."

Jiang Wan wasn't scared at all; she was just a little nervous.

"Eric is very good to me. I would feel bad if I did something wrong and caused him trouble."

"Cry when the manager scolds you. Don't be fooled by his proud and arrogant demeanor. He's actually very soft-hearted and can't stand seeing a girl cry."

As they talked, they reached the third floor.

At the door of VIP room number 25, Jiang Wan took a deep breath and pushed open the door.

He bowed immediately.

Good evening, everyone.

The previously cheerful private room fell silent instantly.

Jiang Wan looked up and saw Qian Xianxian's shocked, bulging eyes.

She paused, then looked to the side.

Fang Tian and Xiao Wu also looked at her with the same incredulous expression.

On the sofa right in the middle, Lu Jingshi's gaze was murderous.

He was surrounded by a group of men of different ages.

There were also quite a few assistants who looked like Qian Xianxian, now in a corner not far away.

In addition, voices could be heard coming from the card room and billiards room inside the private rooms.

What a small world! It seems this is a reception for Kairong today, and judging by the size of the reception, it's quite a large event.

"Attorney Jiang, what are you doing here?"

Qian Xianxian looked Jiang Wan up and down. "Still dressed like this? Good heavens, I don't even know if I should acknowledge you anymore."

Jiang Wan subconsciously tugged at her miniskirt.

Fang Tian smiled and turned to introduce herself to everyone. Her voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for the entire private room to hear.

"You might be curious, but actually, this... Ms. Jiang, used to be a lawyer at a branch office. Her case ran into some problems and was temporarily handled by the Bureau of Justice. Unexpectedly..."

She turned her head again, her face showing feigned concern.

"Miss Jiang, we're hosting some friends who've come all the way from out of town today, so there are quite a few people. Are you feeling a little awkward?"

Room 25 is the largest and most luxurious room in the entire club, covering a full 200 square meters.

It's not just a karaoke room, but also a card room, a billiards room, and a movie theater.

Even more outrageous is that it also comes with a small indoor swimming pool.

Only someone with deep pockets could afford to book this place for such a treat.

No wonder Eric said the drinks in this private room were enough to meet the entire store's quarterly KPI.

Thinking of the 5% bonus, Jiang Wan immediately became motivated.

Making money is not shameful; it's the people who think making money is shameful who are truly pretentious.

"So it was Director Lu's plan, then we'll naturally do our best."

She pulled out the drinks menu. "These are the drinks you ordered tonight. Please check them and we'll bring them over right away."

Fang Tian took a few steps to the side, blocking Lu Jingshi's path.

"Just give it to me."

She quickly glanced at it: "No problem, just send it over. Oh, and by the way, give me two glasses of water to rinse my mouth first."

Jiang Wan nodded and took the order back: "Okay, please wait a moment."

"Oh, right, the cups should be new, disinfected, and have a nice design. The water shouldn't be too hot."

Jiang Wan gave a slight smirk: "Okay."

As soon as Jiang Wan left the private room, the smile on her lips vanished.

Ah Zhen happened to come out as well. Seeing her like this, she thought she had run into trouble and quickly came over.

"It's okay, these are all my former colleagues, they won't go too far, don't worry."

"Oh? We're colleagues, this is so awkward! Sister Wan, how about I switch with you? Don't worry, the bonus is still yours."

Jiang Wan blinked quickly and tucked the hair that had fallen near her ear back up.

Who says that people with higher education levels are necessarily more well-mannered?

The group of people inside weren't as kind and lovely as Ah Zhen and her friends.

"Don't worry, there's nothing to be concerned about."

"Sister Wan, I've always wanted to ask, you used to be a lawyer, that's so prestigious, why did you agree to work part-time at a place like this?"

"What's wrong with this kind of place? Don't categorize yourself into different classes. Actually, we're all just cattle and horses, only the grass we eat is different. Also... I need to go abroad to find someone, and I need some money..."

The parents-in-law who killed Lin Yue went to America.

She had already asked her old friends to find out exactly where they lived.

The documents in the office can be exchanged, but they will definitely have the original contract in their possession...

Therefore, she has to go!

Ah Zhen seemed to understand but not quite, but she still nodded in agreement.

The club's beverage menu must be signed by Eric before it can be retrieved from the wine cellar.

Jiang Wan searched everywhere but couldn't find him. She was just about to take out her phone to call him.

Suddenly someone grabbed my wrist from behind and dragged me into the bathroom next door!
