A Different Kind of Waiter
In front of a rather bourgeois restaurant on South Street of Jinghai University.
A black minivan was parked on the side of the road.
The passenger door opened, and Bai Yanni, who had dressed up carefully, stepped out. She tossed her hair, checked her appearance in the small mirror, and seemed quite satisfied.
Inside the car, a deep male voice came. "Is everything alright?"
Bai Yanni smiled and said, "I guarantee there won't be any problem."
"Okay. If things go well, you'll get the reward you deserve, guaranteed to be better than being a lowly assistant in the Titan Guild."
"Understood, thank you, Mr. Fu. I will do my best."
Bai Yanni entered the restaurant and gave her name. A waiter politely said, "Hello, Ms. Bai Yanni, a Mr. Bai has reserved a private room in advance. Please follow me."
Bai Yanni glanced back at the black van, quietly made an OK sign, and was pleasantly surprised.
In the back of the black van, Fu Qiu and Fu Hong sat side by side.
"It looks like things are going well," Fu Hong smiled. "To be honest, I didn't have high expectations for her, but it turns out I underestimated her cunning. She managed to have her first date with Bai Xiaowen so smoothly."
After a pause, Fu Hong continued, "Given that Yuting is unwilling to get close to Bai Xiaowen, Bai Yanni is probably the most suitable candidate to carry out the honey trap. Unexpectedly, this little assistant who got in through Yuting's connections and interned in our Guild Logistics Department during the summer vacation actually has such convincing acting skills; she even managed to fool Bai Xiaowen with her staged accident."
"This shows that Bai Xiaowen himself has a problem with his judgment," Fu Qiu said calmly. "An awakened being completely fooled by an ordinary person shows that his abilities are also limited."
Fu Hong shrugged, not arguing with Fu Qiu, and instead continued explaining his plan, "Next, Bai Yanni will actively seduce Bai Xiaowen, ideally to the point of sleeping together. If things go smoothly, someone will tip off Li Shuyi... Given Li Shuyi's personality as the young lady of the guild, she definitely won't tolerate Bai Xiaowen flirting around outside. Hehe, a good show is about to begin."
Bai Yanni entered the private room and sat down. Soon after, the waiters began to serve the dishes.
"Oh? Don't rush to serve the food, the person who's hosting hasn't arrived yet," Bai Yanni exclaimed.
"Hello, Ms. Bai. This is a private room that Mr. Bai specifically requested. We'll start serving the dishes as soon as you arrive," the waiter said politely.
"Oh well."
Bai Yanni began to wait.
At first, she was able to maintain a proper sitting posture, but as the agreed time passed and Bai Xiaowen still did not appear, she gradually became a little anxious.
The clock struck 7:30.
"What's going on... It's been half an hour since we agreed on a time!" Bai Yanni sat slumped in her chair, angrily pulling out her phone to call Bai Xiaowen.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable..."
Bai Yanni was furious. What did this mean?
"Hello, Ms. Bai, your dishes have all been served," the waiter said with a bow.
"Okay, okay."
"Ms. Bai, Mr. Bai Xiaowen, who reserved a private room, left you a note saying he'll give it to you after all the dishes are served." The waiter's attentiveness perfectly demonstrated the professionalism of the staff at this Japanese-style restaurant.
Bai Yanni took the note with some unease.
"This meal is on me, and I've already paid the bill. I won't go over there myself. Please enjoy your meal, Senior Bai."
Bai Yanni was a little confused.
What does this mean exactly? Does it mean I'm treating everyone to a meal?
Bai Yanni took out her phone again and dialed a number quickly.
The waiter watched quietly from the side.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable."
"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable."
Just as Bai Yanni was about to dial for the fifth time, the waiter said, "Ms. Bai, please wait a moment."
"What?" Bai Yanni was in a bad mood and a little exasperated.
"Here's a second note. Mr. Bai Xiaowen said that if you're not satisfied with the first note, he'll give you the second one." The waiter handed over another note.
Bai Yanni glanced at the waiter with some suspicion, took the note, unfolded it, and was immediately stunned.
After a long pause, Bai Yanni murmured, "So he... knew everything?"
Just as the waiter was about to leave, Bai Yanni suddenly called him back.
"Wait a minute," Bai Yanni said, staring at the waiter's slightly pale face and dark circles under his eyes, "You're not a waiter at this restaurant, are you? Who are you?"
The waiter twisted his bow tie, grinned, and revealed his two signature fangs.
"A... Vampire?" Bai Yanni instinctively took a step back. Living in the Psychic Energy Era, even ordinary people are not unfamiliar with Vampire, Werewolf, Demon, and other such creatures.
The Vampire waiter chuckled, "Don't be afraid, beautiful lady... my mission is complete. Damn it, learning Chinese is really hard."
Bai Yanni watched as the Vampire waiter ripped off his uniform and bow tie, and with extraordinary agility, slipped out of the restaurant in a few steps and disappeared outside the door.
Inside the karaoke bar, Bai Xiaowen was flanked by rows of young, adoring girls. One of the girls was singing a love song to Bai Xiaowen with deep emotion, while cheers and jeers occasionally rose from the crowd.
Sister Zheng's phone was in her bag. She wanted to check the time, so she took Bai Xiaowen's phone.
"Hey, you have so many missed calls. Who is this Bai Yanni? Does she need to talk to you urgently?"
Bai Xiaowen waved his hand and laughed, "It's nothing, don't worry about it."
"You wouldn't be with her..." Sister Zheng asked with a suspicious look.
Bai Xiaowen broke out in a cold sweat and quickly said, "Sister Zheng, please don't misunderstand. I'm not interested in girls who are too good at acting or too scheming, and Shu Yi wouldn't tolerate that kind of girl either."
"Oh."
Sister Zheng responded with an "Oh."
After the fan finished singing, Bai Xiaowen led the applause, then excused himself and went to the restroom.
Outside the KTV room, Bai Xiaowen met Kitz, the Vampire who had disguised himself as a waiter to hand out notes at the restaurant.
After listening to Kitz's description, Bai Xiaowen frowned slightly.
"Boss, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. At first, I thought this woman was very scheming, but based on your description of her reaction, it's not quite what I expected, especially dialing five or six times in a row. That's not like a scheming woman. Could it be that she approached me only for money, and that no one else was behind it?"
Kitz grinned, "Is the boss planning to go for it?"
"No, I don't have that idea," Bai Xiaowen shook her head. "These are critical times, and I must be extra careful. This Bai Yanni, no matter how cunning she is, there's no doubt she faked her injury. It's better to keep our distance."
That's all for today. I'm exhausted, time to rest...
