Chapter 117: Chapter 117 She Couldn’t Tolerate

Su Bei’s sense of reason was obviously overcome by her emotions. She sat down again and said in a calm voice, “Manager Fan, although Heting is just a driver, he has nothing to be ashamed of. He doesn’t steal or rob. He earns a living. It’s not a shame to come to a restaurant in a foreign country if he doesn’t know a foreign language. Is there anyone in this world who can speak or read all the languages?”
Fan Yinfang smiled and responded, “Since you know that, then what’s the problem? Su Bei, aren’t you just being too sensitive?”
“I hope I’m not overthinking. Manager Fan, I was selected because I succeeded in the audition. Director Baizen saw that I was qualified. So, I got this job fair and square. I also hope that we will have a pleasant cooperation in the future.” Su Bei stood up, smiled politely, and continued, “I am from S Country. It looks like the food here doesn’t suit my taste. I need to get something else to eat, so I will take my leave.”
She then held Lu Heting’s hand and walked towards the door.
Fan Yinfang shook her head and thought to herself, ‘Su Bei hasn’t changed at all. She still considers herself better than others. But she got herself such a handsome driver. Humph!’
While looking at Lu Heting’s receding back, she also thought, ‘I guess it won’t be difficult to have him drive for me.’
“Heting, I’m sorry. You only came to help me, but I got you in an embarrassing situation.” Su Bei didn’t mind being given a hard time at work, but she couldn’t stand to see Lu Heting suffer for her.
She still didn’t let go of his hand. It was as if she was hand in hand with him naturally.
Lu Heting slowly held her hand lightly. He didn’t dare to hold it tightly in fear that he would scare her away.
He looked calm, but he was so satisfied that Su Bei had stood up for him.
“Let’s get some pancakes rolled with crisp fritter over there. They are not authentic because the locals who have learned making them in S Country are the ones making them. But they’re more delicious than French food.”
Su Bei strode towards the pancake shop beside the street, bought two, and gave one to Lu Heting.
That moment she pulled her hand away, Lu Heting immediately felt that something was missing.
Soon, Lv Shan joined them. And when she saw that Su Bei was eating a pancake, she got angry. She frowned and said, “Su Bei, are you here to make money or what? You’ve wasted the chance to dine with Fan Yinfang, and here you are, eating a pancake along the street.”
She also wanted to scold Lu Heting. But when she made eye contact with him, she lost the courage to do so. It was like his vibe scared her so much that she didn’t dare to mess with him.
“I have some problems with Fan Yinfang. If she really wants to fire me, she will not change her mind even if I try everything to please her and sacrifice my pride.” Su Bei had made up her mind.
She could bear any insult, but she couldn’t tolerate Lu Heting being humiliated because of her.
Su Bei had tried very hard not to turn the table upside down in the restaurant. She was able to control her emotions and even said goodbye to Fan Yinfang politely.
“Okay, never mind.” Lv Shan decided to stop the topic after hearing Su Bei’s words. And also, she felt like Lu Heting’s momentum was suffocating her. So she said, “Let’s just let nature take its course.”
“If I really lose this job, help me get more work when we get back,” Su Bei said.
She said this not only because she needed to save money, but she also didn’t want Lv Shan’s work to be in vain.
Lv Shan looked at her and said, “Okay.”
She and Su Bei worked together for their own interests. And now that Su Bei was thinking about her welfare, she had no reason to refuse.
