Li Jiawei looked back at Zhang Yi who was being helped away, but her heart was calm. The person she once cherished deeply, after she had truly let go, was actually just like this.

After turning around, she saw Zhao Chenyue's eyes sparkling with stars, and she said admiringly, "Jiawei, you were so handsome just now!"

Li Jiawei accepted Zhao Chenyue's admiration with a smile, and said, "I am a light boat that has passed through thousands of mountains." Then she noticed that the waiter was cleaning the floor, and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry to trouble you. How much is this ornament?"

At this time, another waiter came over and said sincerely, "Ma'am, we are negligent and have frightened you. You don't have to pay for this ornament. Please sit inside."

Li Jiawei embarrassedly nodded to the cleaning waiter to apologize, then took Zhao Chenyue and followed the guide to the dining area.

As soon as they sat down at the booth, the restaurant manager came over with a fruit plate, bent down and said with a smile, "Hello, ladies, we are deeply sorry for your shock just now. This is the fruit plate specially prepared for you, please enjoy it."

Li Jiawei hurriedly said, "We are the ones who caused you trouble. I hope those two won't cause you trouble later."

The restaurant manager smiled and said, "There are surveillance cameras in the restaurant. He was unreasonable first. It's just a small trouble. It won't cause any trouble to our restaurant." The restaurant manager seemed to have thought of something and said, "Do you want a copy of the surveillance video just now?"

After hearing this, Li Jiawei hurriedly stood up and thanked the manager, "Yes, thank you for your help."

"It's no trouble. The USB drive will be delivered to you after you finish your meal. I hope what happened just now will not affect your mood for dining. I wish you a pleasant meal."

After the manager left, Zhao Chenyue stared at the exquisite fruit plate on the table and couldn't help but sigh, "The high-end restaurant is indeed worthy of its reputation. Look at how high the quality of the waiters is. I have never enjoyed such service attitude anywhere else, not even in some restaurants."

Li Jiawei immediately handed her the menu and said, "Auntie, please order quickly and see what you want to eat."

Zhao Chenyue happily took the menu, quickly glanced through it, and said hesitantly, "They all look delicious. What should I do? I'm kind of tempted to order off this menu!"

Li Jiawei responded with a smile, "If you can finish it, then we'll order one."

Zhao Chenyue replied with a hint of pride, "Oh, you spoil me like this, I'm going to be spoiled. Before, when I was unhappy, my husband could just coax me with a small hot pot, but now with your high standards, I'm afraid I won't be able to coax him even if I empty his wallet in the future."

Li Jiawei joked, "Are you eating hot pot? I think you are eating your husband's looks!"

When talking about her husband, Zhao Chenyue showed a silly smile on her face and admitted, "That's right, my husband is so handsome."

Li Jiawei couldn't stand Zhao Chenyue's crazy look and urged, "Crazy! Stop daydreaming and order some food. I'm starving."

The two ordered the dishes. While waiting for the dishes to be served, Zhao Chenyue asked, "Jiawei, the Aunt Fang that Zhang Yi mentioned just now couldn't be Fang Mei? What happened to her?"

Li Jiawei picked up the water cup, her eyes fell on the round and transparent lemon slice in the cup, and she replied softly, "It's nothing serious, I just had a dispute with her before. She was detained for ten days, but if you calculate the time, she should be out now."

Zhao Chenyue was surprised when she heard this, and she became curious. "Why didn't you tell me? Tell me what's going on!"

Li Jiawei took a sip of water, a hint of sweetness and sourness rising in her mouth. "You know I resigned a while ago because of this incident. Secretary Xu of the Municipal Party Committee came to inspect the Finance Bureau that day and asked a question. Section Chief Fang couldn't answer it, but I did. She felt that I stole her limelight, so she insulted me in front of me, saying that I was with a rich old man and was his mistress. I was very angry after hearing this and wanted to call the police. But Director Qiao thought it would have a bad impact and didn't let me call the police. I was so angry that I handed in my resignation letter on the spot."

At this point, Li Jiawei sighed, "There is a saying that goes 'If you want to destroy someone, you must first drive him crazy.' She probably thought I was nothing to be afraid of, but she dared to call the police after I just cursed at her. She felt that I challenged her authority, so she got furious and hit me with a folder in front of the police. As a result, according to relevant laws, she was detained for ten days and fined 500 yuan."

After hearing this, Zhao Chenyue sighed, held Li Jiawei's hand and said, "It's all in the past. Now you are a truly rich woman."

Li Jiawei smiled and responded, "Yes, now that I have the money, I have the confidence to resign and the courage to confront Fang Mei head-on, and no longer have to swallow my anger like I did in the past."

Zhao Chenyue said, "I know you, you are soft-hearted. If Fang Mei hadn't gone too far, you wouldn't have been so resolute. People often say to repay evil with kindness, but they forget the last sentence, 'how to repay kindness'. You did the right thing."

Li Jiawei said with emotion, "It's fate. A year ago, I never thought I would have the courage to confront Fang Mei today."

Zhao Chenyue continued, "You have untied your knot. When I saw you before, I always felt that you were living a depressed life without a self. Sometimes when I looked at you, I felt tired, and I was also angry at your lack of ambition. I even wanted to scold you for being too weak."

Li Jiawei looked at Zhao Chenyue's slightly angry face and said with a smile, "Okay, it's my fault. I was too disappointing before."

Zhao Chenyue smiled and said, "But now you have finally gotten your reward after all the hardship you've endured."

Before she finished speaking, Li Jiawei's phone started to beep. It was a text message alert. She picked up her phone and checked it. It was a transfer notification from the bank. There were four messages in total, one for 10 million, one for 6 million, and two for 4 million.

Looking at these text messages, Li Jiawei knew who had forwarded them from, and she couldn't help but smile. A warm feeling surged in her heart, and all her previous depression was swept away.

Seeing this, Zhao Chenyue asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is there anything good?"

Li Jiawei put down her phone and said lightly, "It's nothing, it's just a dream come true. I feel so lucky!"

"What dream came true?" Zhao Chenyue asked.

Li Jiawei laughed even more happily, "The ultimate dream of a worker - to become rich overnight!"

Zhao Chenyue looked at Li Jiawei speechlessly, gritting her teeth and said, "Just act like a Versailles. I'm going to bankrupt you tonight."

Li Jiawei responded, "You'll be fed to death."

Zhao Chenyue refused to give in. "I like it, what do you care? Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll tell you some gossip to cheer you up."

Li Jiawei asked curiously, "What gossip?"

Zhao Chenyue coughed lightly and pointed to the water cup in front of her, "I'm thirsty, pour me a glass of water first."

Li Jiawei quickly picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water for Zhao Chenyue, anxiously urging her, "Hurry up and tell me, hurry up and tell me."

Zhao Chenyue took a sip of water and asked, "Do you still remember Wu Ziqi from our class?"

Li Jiawei nodded and replied, "I remember, after graduation she seemed to have gone to Shanghai. What happened to her?"

Zhao Chenyue tapped the table and said, "This is a long story. Please listen to me slowly."
