My Wife Is Going To Great Lengths/Putting In A Lot Of Effort To Turn Me Gay - Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Are You Deaf?

Qi Yaoyao, drunk and sleepy, went to bed after her bath, but was awakened near dawn by a dream that made her furious.

In the dream, a blurred face smiled wickedly and mockingly at her, saying: “Just kidding. You are definitely not my type.”

Qi Yaoyao woke up instantly, furious. She spent a good while punching and squeezing the duvet in frustration. Still feeling unappeased, she kicked her feet and yelled.

No, she has never tolerated being humiliated since she was a child. This matter absolutely cannot be left alone!

Her mother just happens to be away on a business trip and not in Lihai City, so no one is supervising her. If she doesn’t take back control now, when will she?

If she doesn’t avenge this, she is unworthy of being the only daughter of Qi Nan, the Chairman of Junzhou Group in Lihai City, and the future sole heir of the group!!

Time passed quickly at school.

After a few classes, Xu Zhi had completely forgotten the little incident at the bar the night before.

When school was dismissed in the afternoon, she packed her books and homework and rode her bicycle toward the bar.

5:30 PM.

It was still early, and the bar staff were turning over tables.

Jim was among them. When he saw Xu Zhi arrive, he didn’t even put down the chair he was holding. He ran over quickly, lowering his voice, “Know, the boss is looking for you…”

Xu Zhi took the backpack off her shoulder. “What about?”

Hearing her question, Jim became a little hesitant.

Not far away, Zhao Chuchu had seen Xu Zhi the moment she entered the bar and interjected, “During the meeting today, the boss mentioned the customer complaint from last night.”

Hearing the complaint, Xu Zhi was slightly startled. The arrogant, self-important beautiful face and those mesmerizing eyes instantly flashed in her mind.

Xu Zhi sighed softly but didn’t say anything, only asking, “Is the boss in his office now?”

Zhao Chuchu: “Yes. He said to come see him as soon as you arrived.”

Xu Zhi went to see the boss and endured his earnest “lecture” for over ten or twenty minutes. It was essentially the same points: the customer is God, and in the entertainment service industry, they absolutely must not offend God. Since this was her first offense, she wouldn’t be punished this time, and so on.

Xu Zhi knew he had no intention of firing her.

Her salary was paid daily, and the boss had transferred yesterday’s pay on time last night. If he didn’t want her to come to work, he had a whole day to send her a message to “fire” her, but he didn’t.

So, Xu Zhi didn’t argue. After listening to all the boss’s “lessons,” she said, “Understood. I’ll definitely be careful next time.”

The boss was very satisfied with her good attitude in admitting her mistake.

After the boss dismissed her, Xu Zhi went to the staff changing room and changed into her uniform.

Xu Zhi returned to the bar after changing.

Jim saw her and immediately leaned over to ask, “Know, did the boss make things difficult for you?”

“No,” Xu Zhi looked at Jim and apologized, “I’m sorry, I must have caused you trouble last night.”

“Ah, small matter!” Jim waved his hand, seeming completely unbothered, a far cry from his nervous, short-of-breath demeanor last night as if facing a formidable enemy.

Jim said, “What kind of people haven’t we seen in this line of work? Those girls are actually alright, high quality and reasonable. It’s the drunk male customers who are truly troublesome—they get drunk and act completely unreasonable, they’re strong, and they won’t listen to reason. We can’t use force either, because who knows if they have powerful connections behind them? You might end up getting into serious trouble.”

Xu Zhi listened without interjecting. As she listened, she organized and cleaned the tools needed for mixing drinks and attached spouts to the bottles of base liquor.

“But you don’t have to worry about that at the front desk,” Jim looked at Xu Zhi and said, “Those difficult, drunk customers are usually in the private room area.”

Xu Zhi replied with an “mm,” saying, “Doesn’t the bar have security? Just kick out the troublemaking customers.”

“That’s the last resort when things are completely out of hand. You don’t know the boss’s temperament.” Jim immediately mimicked his tone: “‘Always remember, the customer is God!'”

Xu Zhi had just finished listening to a long discourse related to “God.” Hearing Jim’s vivid imitation, she couldn’t help but laugh.

Zhao Chuchu, who had finished turning over the tables further away, felt her heart race inexplicably when she saw Xu Zhi smile.

She backed up a few steps, used the red wine cabinet to hide her body, took out her phone, and secretly snapped a photo in Xu Zhi’s direction.

But by the time the photo was taken, Xu Zhi was no longer smiling.

However, her oval face, refined features, neat shirt and vest, and black hair casually tucked behind her ear, revealing a clear and smooth jawline, still looked cool and dashing.

Everyone likes to look at good-looking people.

Zhao Chuchu hesitated for a while, but ultimately did not delete the secretly taken photo.

Jim saw Xu Zhi smile, knew she was in a good mood, and wanted to say what was on his mind, but hesitated again.

Xu Zhi saw him stammering. “What do you want to say? Just say it.”

Jim moved his mouth, finally sighed, and worriedly frowned. “Know, I feel like those girls from last night might come back to cause you trouble in the next few days.”

Xu Zhi’s action of placing the stirring rod paused slightly, then she replied, “Let them come.”

Jim: “But…”

Xu Zhi interrupted him, “Didn’t you also say that girls are generally high quality and reasonable? So don’t worry.”

Jim had “betrayed” Xu Zhi last night by telling the girls what job she was responsible for, which had left him feeling uneasy all day. Now, seeing her so calm, he finally felt a large burden lift. He said, “You’re right, you’re right.”

Customers didn’t start arriving at the bar until 7 PM.

Xu Zhi stood behind the bar, systematically preparing cocktails for customers one by one.

Most of the people sitting on the high stools waiting were female customers.

Xu Zhi speculated that it was because the cocktails were beautiful and atmospheric, making them more suitable for ladies who sought aesthetic appeal but had lower alcohol tolerance, which is why the seats were often full.

As usual, Xu Zhi only mixed drinks, didn’t socialize, and didn’t say an extra word beyond answering necessary questions.

Just after 8 PM.

The bar was already very lively.

Outside, the roar of a cool engine just ceased, as a red supercar came to an incredibly arrogant stop right in front of the bar.

The commercial street was already crowded in the evening, and the car stopping so casually in the middle of the bustling street immediately caused a traffic jam.

The drivers behind the supercar kept their distance, neither daring to express anger nor speak out, and certainly not daring to risk overtaking.

If they even scratched the paint, let alone car insurance, they might as well sell their houses!

There were no empty parking spaces near the bar.

Even if there were, Qi Yaoyao couldn’t be bothered to look for one. She stopped the car, opened the door, and got out.

The limited-edition new supercar attracted many passersby who stopped to watch. Seeing such a tall, beautiful woman with a slender waist and long legs get out of the driver’s seat, they collectively gasped and started discussing amongst themselves.

“Miss.” A towering, sunglasses-wearing man stepped forward from the crowd, bowed slightly to her with utmost respect, and then gestured towards the bar. “Please.”

The sight of him immediately ruined Qi Yaoyao’s good mood. She looked angrily at him and another similarly dressed man. “How did you follow me?!”

The two bodyguards looked down, not answering.

“So annoying,” Qi Yaoyao frowned, tossed the car keys to them, and strode into the bar. She watched one bodyguard drive the car away and the other immediately followed. She stopped and turned back. “You’re not planning to stare at me like this all night, are you?”

The bodyguard replied formally, “Miss, Chairman Qi instructed…”

“I know!” Qi Yaoyao interrupted impatiently, “But if you follow me like this, how am I supposed to have fun? Stay far away from me!”

“Miss…”

Qi Yaoyao raised her finger at him. “Say one more word, and I’ll have my mother replace you tomorrow.”

The bodyguard finally shut up.

Qi Yaoyao glanced at the onlookers who were treating her like a spectacle, and snapped, “What are you looking at! Haven’t you seen one before!”

The passersby immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

Qi Yaoyao snorted, turned, and stomped angrily into the bar.

She had secretly felt lucky last night that her mother seemed to be in a good mood and hadn’t scolded her for coming home late or drinking.

Who knew that she would see these two guys as soon as she left the house this morning!

They followed her to school and followed her the moment she left the campus.

She was a grown adult. Did she have no freedom, no privacy?

It was all the fault of that clueless server/bartender!

The more Qi Yaoyao thought about it, the angrier she got.

If that person hadn’t provoked her, how could she have drunk so much last night, how could she have come home so late, how could she have coincidentally run into her mother who had returned, and how could she be monitored by these two people all the time?

All this humiliation, she had to get it back from that person, every bit, no, double!

Qi Yaoyao stormed into the bar. Under the dazzling multicolored lights, she quickly locked onto her target.

The target was mixing drinks behind the bar.

The lighting there was relatively bright and quiet, and the visually offensive bartender who had offended her last night was pressing the cocktail shaker with both hands, shaking it up and down.

Good, very good!

Qi Yaoyao was about to march over but suddenly remembered something. She changed her direction and went to the bar’s restroom.

Qi Yaoyao took off her cover-up, adjusted her tight, very sexy spaghetti-strap small vest, then carefully reapplied bright red lipstick in the mirror, and finally put on her decorative sunglasses. After confirming everything was perfect, she walked out, swaying her hips.

—”I want a drink!”

Xu Zhi’s action of slicing a lemon paused slightly. She looked up at the source of the voice and saw that the small birthday girl, whose seat had just emptied, was now sitting there. However, her clothing style was completely different from last night.

Xu Zhi only glanced at her, then lowered her head and continued slicing lemon wedges.

Seeing that Xu Zhi ignored her, Qi Yaoyao immediately picked a fight loudly: “Are you deaf? I said I want a drink!”
