A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 63

The petrified Wang Ying-Ying looked like she was about to cry. She bowed her head and explained in a panic. "I am... I am sorry! Young... Young Master. I... I really didn't know he was your friend. If... If I had known, I would die before I offend Mr... Mr. Ye."

"Screw you!" When Shen Fei heard this, he was both shocked and angry.

This stupid bitch nearly ruined our family. How dare a mere salesperson like you offend Mr. Chu?

In the throes of rage, Shen Fei retorted, "Even if you did not know him, you should not have looked down on him!"

"You ignorant fool! Go get your salary from payroll and then get out of here! We do not want snobbish employees like you here."

Wang Ying-Ying burst out crying, and the tears streamed down her face.

Faced with Shen Fei's reprimand, Wang Ying-Ying panicked and started pleading with him to let her keep her job. She swore to never again make the same mistake.

"Never again?"

"You freaking think you are getting another chance?"

"You really don't care who you offend, huh? Get out of here now!"

But Shen Fei was not going to tolerate Wang Ying-Ying, and he continued to scold her.

Ye Fan's face remained expressionless, but Qiu Mu-Cheng felt sorry for Wang Ying-Ying. "Young Master Shen, why don't you give her another chance? After today's lesson, I am sure she will learn to restrain herself from now on."

When Shen Fei heard Qiu Mu-Cheng's plea, he did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he glanced at Ye Fan.

After all, out of all the people present, Shen Fei was only afraid of Ye Fan. He did respect Qiu Mu-Cheng, but only because she was Ye Fan's woman.

Ye Fan said nothing. But he gave a slight nod.

Since Ye Fan was not going to pursue the matter, Shen Fei decided to accede to Qiu Mu-Cheng's request. "Since she is pleading on your behalf, you may stay. If she had not done so, I would have kicked you out today."

"But although you have avoided the punishment of losing your job, you still need to be taught a lesson. Today, you nearly got us into big trouble. You are no longer suitable for the position of counter manager. I will choose someone to replace you."

Wang Ying-Ying's face had turned pale. Her head was bowed in regret, as she silently accepted her punishment. She had no other choice. It was only now that she understood this proverb: You can't judge a book by its cover.

If she had not looked down on and insulted Ye Fan, things would not have come to this. She had worked hard for the past ten years, in order to get herself promoted to the position of counter manager. And now, it was gone. She had to start all over again.

Just then, Ye Fan turned to look at a young girl standing by the side. "Young Master Shen, I think this lady here is quite capable. She is friendly and treats people warmly. You can train her up to be the new manager."

The young girl was the junior salesperson who had spoken up for Ye Fan and gotten scolded by Wang Ying-Ying.

Shen Fei replied immediately. "Mr. Ye, you are right. I was a bad judge of character. From today onward, she will be our new counter manager. I will double her salary.”

"Xiao-Yu, since Mr. Ye thinks so highly of you, you had better do a good job. Don't disappoint him."

Shen Fei's words had given Ye Fan a lot of respect. Meanwhile, Xiao-Yu was dumbfounded. Bliss had arrived too suddenly for her. She had only started work here half a year ago. And now, all of ₉ sudden, she had become the counter manager.

Shen Fei glared at her and said, "Why are you in a daze? Quick, say your thanks to Mr. Ye."

Xiao-Yu hurriedly stepped forward to thank her benefactor.

Ye Fan only smiled lightly in response. Afterward, he did not linger and left to browse around with his companions.

But, before leaving the area, Ye Fan turned to look at Wang Ying-Ying and the other salespersons. He left them with a bit of advice: "A person should not be too Sun Yu-Hao. Otherwise, the unpleasantness that happened earlier will just repeat itself."

"In this world, a person should be calm, kind-hearted and smile often."

Ye Fan might be showing off, but his words had depth. Wang Ying-Ying and Xiao-Yu both nodded their heads in agreement. They told Ye Fan that they would remember his teachings.

But Sun Yu-Hao became so enraged that he nearly burst a blood vessel.

What do you mean a person cannot be too Sun Yu-Hao?

Is there anything wrong with me?

Am I a failure?

We still have a long way ahead of us. Ye Fan, you had better watch out.

Sun Yu-Hao was about ready to explode with anger. He snorted and glared at Ye Fan, before leaving in a huff.

"Yu-Hao! Yu-Hao~ Where are you going?"

"Wait for me~"

Han Fei-Fei saw Sun Yu-Hao walking away angrily, so she hurried to catch up.

When Qiu Mu-Cheng saw what happened, she glared at Ye Fan. "Are you happy now? You made him angry."

Ye Fan snorted in laughter. "I didn't make him angry. He was just too embarrassed to hang around. If I were him, I would be too embarrassed to stay too, after making such a fool of myself.”

"Oh, is that so?" Qiu Mu-Cheng looked disdainfully at Ye Fan. "Who is the shameless man who keeps trying to get into my bed? Why can't he remember anything I tell him?"

Nobody knew better than Qiu Mu-Cheng, just how shameless Ye Fan could be.

Ye Fan stared at his wife and protested. "Is this shamelessness? No, I was just exercising my right as a man.”

Meanwhile, Shen Fei made an excuse and left. He felt that he would become a third wheel, if he hung around the flirting couple.

"You are too loud. What if somebody heard you?" Qiu Mu-Cheng chided her husband and blushed, when she felt the gazes from the surrounding onlookers.

Ye Fan smiled relaxedly and, as Qiu Mu-Cheng looked on in a panic, he grabbed hold of her slender hand.

This was the first time he had held her hand, and Qiu Mu-Cheng could not help blushing in embarrassment.

"What are you doing?" she scolded.

But, no matter how much she struggled, Ye Fan continued to hold her hand in a firm grip. Just then, his eyes were shining with conviction.
