Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 204: Looking Down on Others with Dog Eyes
In Jiang Xingye’s eyes, the guesthouses here were much more grand than those in Anping County.
Inside, a young waitress was dozing off. When she heard the noise, she lifted her head with an arrogant expression. As she saw Jiang Xingye, undisguised disdain floated in her eyes.
Where did this country bumpkin come from, looking so tacky? Wouldn’t he dirty up the guesthouse?
"Do you have a reference letter? It’s fifty-eight cents a night. Can you afford it?" She fanned her nose with her hand and muttered under her breath, "So filthy!"
Throughout his life, Jiang Xingye never knew how many disdainful looks he had received, and he never cared.
After all, even his biological mother didn’t care for him.
But at this moment, the contempt from the waitress deeply pierced his heart. In front of Xu Qinghuan, the inferiority deeply buried in his heart made him ashamed.
"Tsk!" Xu Qinghuan spoke up to draw the waitress’s attention. "Is this the attitude of Yan City’s comrades serving the people? What, posing with those snobbish eyes, who are you looking down on?"
Even though she had already expected this, knowing that the attitudes of service personnel were extremely poor at this time, after all, jobs during this era were almost like inherited positions in feudal times.
Still, Xu Qinghuan couldn’t stand such an attitude. She really couldn’t understand where these people’s sense of superiority came from.
Now hot jobs, in a few years, with the arrival of reform and opening up, would become like old shoes, and these people with their eyes held high would become part of the ranks of the unemployed.
There’s a saying, "Thirty years on the east side of the river, thirty years on the west side."
The waitress glared fiercely at Xu Qinghuan and roared, "So what if I look down on you? What can you do to me? So poor yet so temperamental, if you’re not staying, then leave!"
"Is this guesthouse your home? What kind of attitude is that? Apologize! If you don’t apologize to me today, I’ll report you. Look down on rural folks, do you have the guts not to eat the food from the countryside!" Xu Qinghuan slammed the table.
The waitress was almost so angry she had a heart attack. She had never seen such a brazen country person after working for so many years.
"Who do you think you are, stay if you want, or don’t. Want me to apologize, you country bumpkin, dream on!" The waitress was tough, and she had capital to be arrogant because she had a mother working as a maid in a big shot’s house.
She wanted to see where these two people could end up staying!
Xu Qinghuan saw her intentions, sneered inwardly, and pulled Jiang Xingye to leave.
She definitely wouldn’t give up like this. She wanted this waitress to kneel and invite her to stay.
"Doctor Xu, why aren’t you staying there?" At the entrance, the driver came over. He was sent by Huo Chi to make arrangements for Xu Qinghuan.
Xu Qinghuan pointed at the waitress accusingly and said, "She looks down on us, says we’re from the countryside and don’t deserve to stay in this guesthouse."
The waitress did indeed secretly look down on Xu Qinghuan and the two, but she hadn’t had the chance to say anything so blunt. Besides, wasn’t it this woman who provoked first?
However, seeing the person who came was just an ordinary person, the waitress didn’t take him seriously, only snorted coldly, making her attitude clear.
The driver’s expression changed rapidly. He didn’t expect to run into someone who was so snobbish so easily. He walked over and tapped the table, "Comrade, we reserved two rooms today, can you check!"
After speaking, he gave a name.
The waitress naturally remembered, as there were strict instructions from above to hold onto these two rooms and a constant reminder to provide the highest quality service to these guests.
She looked at Xu Qinghuan and Jiang Xingye incredulously, unable to associate such special treatment with these two, "Them?"
"That’s right, go get your director over here, I have something to say!" The driver was one of Huo Zhenqing’s people and was widely experienced, knowing well how to handle these situations.
"Well... our director... he, he went to a meeting, you see, the rooms are on the third floor, let me lead the guests up now?"
The waitress quickly came over, humbled herself in front of Xu Qinghuan and Jiang Xingye, "I’m sorry, comrades, it was just a misunderstanding earlier. You see, I didn’t recognize you two, that’s why I offended you. The room has long been reserved, let me lead you up!"
Xu Qinghuan coldly laughed, "I said before, people like you don’t belong in this position at all, no intention to serve the people, deep down looking down on rural folks, your thoughts need to be reformed!"
It’s not that she was vengeful, unable to tolerate a single bit. Jiang Xingye showed inferiority instead of anger earlier. The self-blame that made him feel inferior to her painfully pierced Xu Qinghuan’s heart.
What’s there to be proud of being a guesthouse waitress!
The driver understood that the waitress had severely offended someone, and immediately turned serious, "Alright, if you won’t call your director, I will!"
He lifted his foot to leave, and after realizing the visitor’s background, the waitress didn’t dare to let him go himself, so she had to cry and ask the leadership to come.
With all three facing each other, the waitress cried, "I didn’t say anything, she just said I looked down on rural folks and stuff, clearly, she’s framing me, Director, I’m really wronged!"
In a certain sense, the waitress was not wrong. She merely looked down on them with her eyes and held contempt in her heart, not initially speaking hurtful words.
The guesthouse director didn’t pay much attention to Xu Qinghuan and Jiang Xingye. These two were dressed so poorly, so young, and just due to a look or expression from someone else, they made such a big fuss; clearly, they hadn’t seen the world and didn’t have high status, though their self-esteem wasn’t weak.
"What are you accusing her of? If you’re accusing her, she deserves it!" The director scolded the waitress twice, put on a little attitude, then turned to the driver and said, "You see, it’s not a big deal, I’ll have her apologize, it was our fault, we’ll correct our attitude going forward."
Under usual circumstances, if the other party did this much, it was enough on the surface.
Seeing Xu Qinghuan’s expression getting more unpleasant, with eyes gradually cold, the driver felt a chill run down his spine, suddenly gripped with a fear of losing much for a small thing.
If he angered this ancestor, and she refused surgery, it would indeed be a significant loss due to a minor incident.
"No, this is no small matter; when the mindset is problematic, it’s a huge issue. Is this guesthouse’s service attitude? Disregarding the guests, bullying when they like, scolding when they choose. Do you think you’re humane by not beating people up?"
"No, no, no! We absolutely wouldn’t dare, wouldn’t dare!" The guesthouse director saw the signs too that these two young people likely had unusual identities and hurriedly said, "We’ll immediately send her for training to receive education."
The waitress was thunderstruck upon hearing this.
She nearly knelt to Xu Qinghuan, "I’m sorry, comrade, I was wrong, I know I’m wrong, can you spare me; I can’t be without a job, boo hoo, if I don’t have a job, I’ll have to go to the countryside."
Xu Qinghuan smiled, "Why not go to the countryside? Think rural people are dirty and poor? Your ideological thinking is quite severe, comrade. Doesn’t the guesthouse organize thought study and seek improvement normally?
This won’t do, your stance goes against national policies, not exactly a good child of the motherland!"
The guesthouse director’s legs gave out as he listened.
