Thinking of this, Cheng Yan snorted softly and continued to lean against the door with his arms crossed, watching the show.

His gaze shifted, and he saw a familiar face.

Despite wearing a hat and mask, the person's overall demeanor and unforgettable eyes were still undeniable.

Meng Tingwan?

What's she doing here?

Before he could think about it further, Tang Qian chuckled softly, "Who do we have here? It's Miss Wang."

Wang Jin had a good alcohol tolerance; she didn't get drunk even after several bottles of wine. Upon seeing Tang Qian, she narrowed her eyes and asked questioningly, "Who are you?"

She had only recently returned from abroad and was not familiar with the various families in Yuezhou. Not to mention Tang Qian, she couldn't even remember her own aunts and uncles.

Tang Qian smiled and said in a cool voice, "The owner here."

"Boss?" Wang Jin looked her up and down disdainfully, then spoke again in English, "Since you're the boss, I'm going to complain about your employee. The service is terrible, and I demand he be fired!"

"What? You've been drinking too much foreign ink, so you're trying to use foreign words on me?" Tang Qian scoffed. "This is China, not the foreign country you're in. Speak Chinese to me."

Wang Jin stared wide-eyed in disbelief, then put down the wine glass in her hand.

Not only have no outsiders ever spoken to her like that, but even her own family members have never dared to treat her like that!

Moreover, the woman in front of him was just the owner of a small entertainment venue.

"Who do you think you are to talk to me like that! Believe me or not, I'll make this place go out of business tomorrow." Wang Jin still spoke in English.

Tang Qian remained calm and unhurried, saying, "So capable? If you're so good, why don't you shut this place down tonight?"

Meng Tingwan, who was standing outside, couldn't help but smile as she listened to her words, even though the corners of her mouth were hidden under her mask.

Even after her divorce, Tang Qian's arrogant attitude remains unchanged.

Tang Qian was too lazy to waste words with her and waved her hand.

Xiao Wu immediately stepped forward.

"Have the security guards throw her out."

"Okay." Xiao Wu answered crisply and decisively, then turned around, grabbed a walkie-talkie from the side, and said a few words.

The security guard was very quick; he appeared at the door less than half a minute after he finished speaking.

"Go, throw that woman out." Xiao Wu gestured with his chin toward Wang Jin.

The security guard understood and acted without hesitation, walking over and lifting Wang Jin up to head out the door.

"you……"

This display of power left Wang Jin speechless for a moment.

Those watching from outside shook their heads at the sight.

Many people also recognized Wang Jin.

"Isn't this the eldest daughter of the Wang family who just returned from abroad? What happened to her?"

"I don't know, but it looks like they offended the owner here."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I'd heard long ago that the owner of the palace had a very powerful background, but I didn't expect it to actually be that powerful."

"But the Wang family is not weak either, and it seems that the eldest daughter of the Wang family is going to marry into the Cheng family."

"Wow, are you serious?"

"It's just a rumor, but it's definitely true."

"Which of the two young masters of the Cheng family should she ally with?"

"It must be Young Master Cheng. The Second Young Master has an eccentric personality and a reputation as a spoiled brat. The Wang family will definitely not agree to it."

"what!"

A woman let out a wail.

"Although I can't marry into the Cheng family, I don't want her to marry into it either."

Meng Tingwan leaned against the wall and listened to everything the others said.

What impressed me most was the news that the Cheng family was going to marry into the Wang family.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. My relationship with him is about to end, so this kind of marriage isn't a bad idea.

Meng Tingwan lowered her head slightly, her hands, which were tucked into her sleeves, were damp with a thin layer of sweat.

For me, this is...good news, right?

Tang Qian, still in the private room, took out her phone to contact someone.

After hanging up the phone, she looked at the boy behind the manager.

"How old are you?"

"19." The boy lowered his head, not daring to look at her, his clothes were all wet.

Upon hearing the age, Tang Qian glared at the manager with her gentle eyes, "You dare to hire someone so young?"

The manager clasped his hands, looking embarrassed. "Miss, it's not that, it's just that he really has his own difficulties."

Upon hearing this, the boy quickly looked up, his expression panicked. "Boss, I need money. I know the wages here are high, so I begged the manager to keep me."

Tang Qian crossed her arms and looked at him, chuckling softly, "You're honest, but this place isn't suitable for you."

At 19, one should be on campus.

"Boss, please don't fire me. I really need money. My dad fell while working and had his leg amputated from the top down. We've run out of money for his medical treatment, and my tuition fees have been delayed for a long time. That's why I came here to work."

The boy was filled with regret. He wished he had gone along with the drinking earlier, so that his boss wouldn't have found out and he wouldn't be losing his job now.

Xiao Wu, who was listening from behind, felt very sympathetic and wanted to plead for him.

Tang Qian spoke first, "Who said I was going to fire you?"

Then she looked at the manager and said, "He's so young, and you dare to bring him here?"

The manager dared not speak.

There are many positions in the palace, but this position pays the most because you never know when a guest will give you a tip, and these tips belong to the individual.

"Xiao Wu, the person is in your hands. He can be anywhere, just don't show up in the private room."

"No problem," Xiao Wu readily agreed.

Tang Qian saw the boy's bewildered look and softened her tone, "Which university?"

“Guangzhou National University”.

"Okay, let Xiao Wu pay your tuition for you. It will be deducted from your salary. You can work part-time here in the future, but the premise is that it cannot affect your studies. If you fail your final exam, you will not need to come here to work."

"Okay." The boy nodded vigorously.

Tang Qian didn't say anything more, leaving Xiao Wu to handle the aftermath, and then she walked out of the private room.

When Meng Tingwan saw her come out, she moved over and asked, "Is it all taken care of?"

"Hmm, you don't need to worry about me." Tang Qian proudly raised her head. "But this Wang Jin is really arrogant, speaking English here. Who does he think he is?"

"Oh, by the way, I just got some news. It seems she's going to enter the entertainment industry. The Wang family invested in a drama series, and she's the female lead."

Meng Tingwan didn't care at all.

The Wang family is rich and powerful; there's nothing she can't be.

"But the chances of me meeting her are probably not very high."

"Let's not talk about her anymore, it's bad luck." Tang Qian said with a look of disgust.

Just as the two were about to leave, a man's voice suddenly came from behind them, "Tang Qian?"

The two turned their heads and saw Duan Xiangheng standing not far away, with a woman beside him.

The woman was not unfamiliar; she was Duan Xiangheng's older sister, Duan Zhiwei.

"After all that, the real bad luck is here."

Tang Qian whispered in Meng Tingwan's ear, "Wanwan, you go first, I'll handle this."

Meng Tingwan squinted at the positions of the Duan siblings, feeling that something was amiss.

"Can you?"

She was afraid that Tang Qian would lose control of her emotions.

"Don't worry, it's okay. You have to rush back to film tomorrow, so go back and rest early." Tang Qian squeezed her hand and gave her a reassuring smile.

"Okay, I'll text you when I get home."
