Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 213: The Servant’s Clothes Really Suit You_1

“Yufei, although you’ve been here only for a few days, your work has been outstanding. Tonight’s banquet aims to entertain many high-profile guests, and I can’t handle them all on my own. Please pay extra attention and avoid any mishaps.”

Yan Yue’s compliment stirred a sense of excitement in Jian Yufei. Being praised by her manager was proof that she was indeed competent.

She nodded confidently. “Rest assured, I will do my utmost.”

“Very good, then go ahead and get busy.” The manager patted her shoulder approvingly, and Jian Yufei returned to her post, working harder than ever.

The banquet began at six o’clock in the evening.

A long red carpet was rolled out in front of the Golden Emperor Hotel. Luxury cars continuously pulled up to the entrance, depositing various distinguished guests who were then led into the banquet hall by greeters.

Jian Yufei and a few other waitstaff members were in the kitchen, preparing the wine and dinner.

“Did you know? Tonight’s banquet is a birthday celebration. The rich people these days are really loaded. A birthday party is even more extravagant than a wedding.”

“What do you know? Haven’t you heard that today’s birthday girl is the daughter of Deputy Mayor Yan? I heard she’s been abroad for several years for medical treatment. People thought she was dead. But unexpectedly, she has returned fully recovered. Naturally, her first birthday after recovery is a grand affair.”

Jian Yufei was carefully wiping the wine bottles with a clean, white towel.

Upon hearing their conversation, she paused for a moment before continuing her work as if nothing had happened.

“Wow, I saw him, I saw him!” a young waitress rushed in with a flushed face, shouting excitedly, “I just saw Ruan Tianling, the CEO of Ruan Corporation. They say he is handsome, but seeing him today, handsome is an understatement. He’s like my dreamy Prince Charming!”

“Is he really that handsome? I want to see!”

“Me too!”

“What’s all this commotion about, do you all not want to work anymore?” The manager walked in and barked sternly, silencing the chattering women who quickly got back to work.

“The banquet has started. Get everything ready quickly and send it to the front. Remember, there must be no mistakes. Nobody here can afford the consequences.”

“Understood!” Everyone replied in unison.

The manager went to Jian Yufei and said, “Jian Yufei, please take the wine into the hall now. There’s not enough wine there.”

“OK.” Jian Yufei nodded and started pushing a cart full of wine toward the hall.

Though she didn’t want to face Ruan Tianling, she had a job to do. After all, she had no personal connection with him anymore. She saw no reason to avoid him. Even if she was a waiter, she would not regard herself as inferior to anyone.

Wearing a black and white puff skirt and a white servant’s hat, she pushed the cart of wine into the banquet hall.

She scanned the room and was relieved to see no acquaintances. She wouldn’t have to endure any uncomfortable encounters.

As she quietly moved her cart to a corner and started unloading the wine bottles, an all-too-familiar voice suddenly rang out.

“Jian Yufei, what are you doing here?”

Jian Yufei sighed. Inevitably, she had been noticed.

She turned to face Yan Yue with a calm expression. “I work here.”

In her red, elegant dress, Yan Yue looked her up and down before smirking, “The servant’s dress actually suits you.”

To create a noble atmosphere, the Golden Emperor Hotel had chosen a seventeenth-century British court style for their interior decoration and had their staff dress accordingly.
