Bai Xue sneered, “About the price difference, my fiance will take care of that. Change it now.”
The manager replied, “Miss Bai, 1 suggest you discuss this with Mr. Li. This is a custom design chosen by Mr. Li, and we don’t dare make changes without his consent. Please don’t make it difficult for us.”
At this point, it would be best for Bai Xue and Li Yan to resolve the situation together.
Bai Xue angrily pulled out her phone and, through gritted teeth, said, “So much trouble. I’m calling my fiance right now.”
She dialed Li Yan’s number, and after a long wait, he finally answered.
Upon hearing Li Yan pick up, Bai Xue felt relieved and proudly put the call on speakerphone.
Bai Xue asked, “Li Yan, are you busy right now?”
Li Yan replied indifferently, “I have a meeting in a while. What’s the matter?”
Bai Xue, hearing Li Yan’s dispassionate tone, though uncomfortable, didn’t dare to react.
She coquettishly continued, “I’m at the venue of my birthday banquet. The decoration is terrible, and 1 want to change it to something more appealing. But these people won’t allow it unless you agree.”
The manager quickly interjected, “Mr. Li, let me explain the situation. Miss Bai has selected a wedding-themed decoration, which comes at a different cost and doesn’t match the birthday theme. We don’t want there to be any misunderstandings.”
Bai Xue shot the manager a glare. She retorted, “What misunderstandings could there be? Or do you think the Li family won’t pay you? You’ve decorated my birthday party as if it’s a funeral. Are you here to celebrate me or curse me?”
The manager hastened to explain, “Miss Bai, please don’t misunderstand. 1 must clarify that a birthday party and a wedding banquet are entirely different. They have distinct themes and symbolism, and the atmosphere they create is also dissimilar. Can you understand?”
Bai Xue indeed understood, but she didn’t want to be bogged down in details. She hoped that everyone would misunderstand. It was, after all, her and Li Yan’s engagement banquet.
Bitingly sarcastic, Bai Xue remarked, “Just change a few props, where’s the misunderstanding? You’re just making excuses for a poorly done job. 1 see that your hotel will be closing down sooner or later.”
The manager was left speechless. Bai Xue had no idea that the hotel was also connected to the Li family. How could she imply that it might close down?
On the other end of the call, Li Yan coldly said, “Alright, I understand the situation now. Stick with the original plan. If you don’t like it, you can cancel the birthday party tomorrow. I won’t force you to accept something you don’t like.”
This was a face-smacking scene. All eyes in the room turned to Bai Xue.
Upon hearing Li Yan’s response, Bai Xue’s expression soured. She immediately turned off the speakerphone and coquettishly said, “Li Yan, it’s not that I don’t like it, but 1 find it a bit too cold. Can you make some minor changes?”
Li Yan reiterated, “I already told you, if you don’t like it, you can cancel it. I won’t force you to do something you dislike.”
Bai Xue explained, “That’s not it, Li Yan. Please don’t misunderstand. It’s just that, although it’s a bit cold, it’s not too bad. Changing it would be a waste of time.”
Though Bai Xue was deeply unhappy, and Li Yan was becoming increasingly indifferent, she had to compromise at this point. The current decoration might be somewhat unsightly, but it was better than canceling the event.
“Alright, 1 have a meeting to attend. That’s all,” Li Yan declared.
Before Bai Xue could say anything more, the call was abruptly ended.
Iler expression remained unsightly, and she had to adjust her mindset and suppress her frustration. She glanced at the staff and said, “You all continue with your work. Don’t waste any more time. Get a move on.”
The manager, now politely smiling, assured her, “Miss Bai, rest assured, tomorrow’s birthday party will be perfect.”
Hearing this, Bai Xue felt a bit relieved. Nevertheless, she was in no mood to remain at the scene after the recent embarrassment. She pretended to check the time and stated, “1 still have some things to take care of.”
Bai Xue tried to console herself, thinking that with everything in place, it might not turn out as bad as she feared.
The manager smiled and assured her, “Miss Bai, please go ahead. There won’t be any delays here.”
Bai Xue nodded and promptly left.
As she exited the room, the hotel staff began to discuss among themselves.
“Dammmmmn. Didn’t she say he loved her to bits? Why didn’t he allow her to change the theme then?”
“Who knows? She’s just a mistress, after all.”
“Keep your voices down. We don’t want to get fired.”
“What’s there to be afraid of?”
“Do you all want to be fired? No matter what, she was still the boss ‘woman’.”
“Tsk, who knows? Either way, those rumors that he spoils her silly are all fake.”
“But Li Yan’s engagement to the Jiang family has been canceled, right?”
“That’s true, but they didn’t disclose this woman’s identity.”
“But, she just said that Li Yan is her fiance..”
