The manager came over and pulled me, secretly advising me, "Yexi, just go down the stairs and endure it. Haven't you gone through this before?"

"Men have to save face, just yield a bit and coax him."

I tightly pursed my lips, staring at that man intently. His expression showed absolute confidence.

Looking at the manager, there was a warning in his eyes.

Yes, I can't afford to offend anyone here.

I need this job, and everyone here is like a god who can arbitrarily decide my life and death.

But tonight, I really don't want to serve this garbage man.

Even if I'm despicable, I still have the right to be picky.

Isn't it just kneeling to him? He can handle me kneeling, and it's not a big deal to get up and wipe my knees.

Enduring the humiliation, I gritted my teeth and was about to kneel down to him.

Who knew that halfway through, a pair of large hands grabbed my arm and lifted me up, bringing me to his side.

I looked up and saw the side profile of the hand's owner, meticulously groomed hairstyle, and wearing a pair of thin-rimmed gold glasses.

The light halo made his facial features distinct, clearly showing his extraordinary appearance.

He was a very handsome and refined man.

The suit was well-tailored, and the fabric looked top-notch. The wristwatch was also valuable.

It seems he's a wealthy man.

"Sorry, can I have this lady come over and introduce a few wines to us?"

He spoke directly to the manager, completely ignoring the man who was acting arrogantly.

The manager obviously knew this person and put on his signature smile, respectfully saying, "Of course, it's absolutely necessary, as Mr. Shen said."

"Xiao Xi, hurry up and accompany Mr. Shen over."

After the manager finished speaking, he looked around and immediately called another female colleague.

"Damn, who's this?"

Seeing me being taken away, that man stood up and immediately started swearing.

The manager immediately went over to appease him and said something in his ear.

The female colleague also tried to please him with gentle words by his side, and only then did he calm down.

I followed the man called Mr. Shen to the adjacent seat.

It was empty there, and no one else was there.

"Have a seat."

After he sat down, he glanced at me and gestured for me to sit next to him.

I thought about what he had just said, and then looked at the table. There was only one kind of wine, the most expensive one in the bar.

He had ordered the best, so why did he want me to recommend some wine?

Sitting in his position, I could see and hear what was happening nearby.

I suddenly understood something and gratefully glanced at him, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for helping me out."

He picked up a cigarette from the table, lit it, and casually responded, "It's nothing."

His tone was calm, but for some reason, I didn't feel it was indifferent.

He kept staring at the swaying people on the dance floor, slowly smoking. With the smoke enveloping him, his eyes were as calm as still water, completely different from the fiery scene in front of him.

Although he was alone, I didn't feel any sense of loneliness from him. I always felt that he had a natural and harmonious temperament.

Besides, I inexplicably felt that he was familiar, but I couldn't figure out where I had seen him before.

He didn't speak to me, nor did he dismiss me. I just sat quietly on the side, feeling a bit uneasy.

"Mr. Shen, is there anything I can do to help you?"

I'm not accustomed to accepting other people's unfounded kindness.

Even though this man really seemed to not need me to do anything, I secretly hoped that he would still make a request.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at me, like a calm and deep abyss. He stared at me attentively, and I felt as if he could easily see through me.

"Then, could you please help me choose a few more good winesto accompany this one?" he finally spoke, his voice low and soothing.

Relieved, I nodded and said, "Of course, Mr. Shen. I will do my best to select the best wines for you."

He smiled faintly, and the corners of his eyes crinkled slightly. "I trust your judgment."

I quickly went to the bar counter to fetch a wine list and started studying it. It was a comprehensive list with a wide variety of wines from different regions and vintages.

I took my time, carefully considering each option, and then returned to Mr. Shen's table.

I presented the wine list to him and pointed out a few selections that I thought would complement his current choice.

He took a quick glance at the list and nodded approvingly. "Excellent choices. Please bring them."

I rushed back to the bar, placing the order for the additional wines. As I waited for them to be prepared, I couldn't help but steal glances at Mr. Shen.

There was an air of mystery surrounding him, and I couldn't shake off the feeling that I had seen him somewhere before. I wracked my brain, trying to recall if we had any previous encounters, but nothing came to mind.

When the wines were ready, I carefully carried them over to the table and arranged them in a neat row.

Mr. Shen examined each bottle, studying the labels and occasionally giving a nod of approval. He seemed genuinely interested in the wines, appreciating the craftsmanship behind each one.

I stood beside him, observing his refined gestures and attentive demeanor. It was evident that he possessed a deep knowledge and appreciation for fine wines.

As he sampled each wine, his expressions subtly changed, reflecting his thoughts on the flavors and aromas. I couldn't help but be captivated by his sophistication and elegance.

After trying all the wines, he finally leaned back in his chair and looked at me with a satisfied smile. "You have done an excellent job, Yexi. These wines are exceptional."

I blushed at his praise, grateful that I could meet his expectations.

He took out his wallet and handed me a generous tip. "Thank you for your assistance. Keep up the good work."

I accepted the tip with gratitude and smiled back at him. "Thank you, Mr. Shen. If you need any further assistance, please don't hesitate to ask."

He nodded appreciatively and then turned his attention back to the dance floor, lost in his own thoughts.

I returned to my duties, serving other customers and attending to their needs. However, my mind kept drifting back to Mr. Shen.

There was something intriguing about him, something that made me want to unravel the mystery surrounding him. Perhaps, in time, I would discover who he truly was and why he had come to my rescue.
