Chapter 223 The Investigation Result is True
"Miss, I was merely making a suggestion to the customer, how is that being annoying?"
The climbing gym's lady was not one to be easily bullied.
She knew that although the girl was with the handsome guy, their relationship didn't seem to be that of a couple.
Otherwise, the girl wouldn't always be dragged along by the middle-aged man.
Shouldn't she be standing with the handsome guy instead?
Moreover, this was also one of the climbing gym's service requirements for employees.
Although the lady's motive wasn't entirely focused on performance.
But no one could prove what was going on in the lady's mind.
Even if Li Feiyu did lodge a complaint later, the lady could simply say she was just trying to sell a membership to the customer.
The lady wasn't worried in the slightest that the boss would punish her for such a diligent act.
Li Feiyu was fuming with anger.
How could a mere climbing gym employee dare to speak to her like this?
"Do you know who I am?"
"Dare to speak to me with this attitude?"
"Call your boss here, I'd like to see how such a large climbing gym could employ such ill-mannered staff."
Because the climbing gym's lady was constantly talking to Su Mu up close.
And, since everyone was on the same path, it was natural for Li Feiyu to discern what the lady's glances at Su Mu meant.
Thinking about how her father was firmly holding onto her, preventing her from getting close to Su Mu,
while this climbing gym employee was shamelessly clinging to Su Mu,
Li Feiyu's anger couldn't be quelled.
At that moment, Li Feiyu completely forgot that she herself had been shamelessly clinging to Su Mu.
And she had even intentionally traveled from Guanghai City to Huadong City to pester him.
Compared to the climbing gym's lady, Li Feiyu was far more excessive.
Or rather, the lady didn't even qualify to be compared with Li Feiyu.
So far, when it came to being thick-faced, no one could outdo Li Feiyu.
"Miss, we have surveillance here, it's not just a customer's word that can directly incriminate us."
"Furthermore, our boss isn't always at the climbing gym."
"This gym is just a side business for our boss, who is usually very busy."
Unintimidated by Li Feiyu, the lady felt there was absolutely nothing wrong with her behavior.
Even if Li Feiyu made a complaint, the lady wasn't afraid.
"You…"
When had the Li family's little princess ever suffered such humiliation?
And most importantly, in front of Su Mu.
Li Feiyu felt she couldn't save face.
She shook her arm a few times, wanting her father to let go of the hand that was holding her back.
Li Feiyu, constantly being pulled by Li Yaoming, already seemed less imposing just by the energy she exuded.
Li Yaoming did not let go as Li Feiyu wished.
After all, because he had agreed to Li Feiyu and Su Mu's wager, he had already delayed enough time.
Li Yaoming knew that Elder Li was still waiting at home for his news.
By now, he should be calling Elder Li to report in.
Li Yaoming was indulging his daughter's wishes one more time for his own sake.
But this didn't mean he would allow Li Feiyu to make a fuss over trivial matters.
"No need for a membership, just buy the tickets."
"Two climbing tickets."
Su Mu had likewise ignored the squabble between Li Feiyu and the lady.
Rejecting the lady's persistent sales pitch, Su Mu's tone was undeniably firm.
Just like Li Yaoming, Su Mu didn't want to waste any more time.
The only difference between them was that Li Yaoming was waiting for the final results to come out, so he could explain to Elder Li.
Su Mu couldn't wait to be done with this so he wouldn't have to see Li Feiyu ever again.
"Alright, sir, please come this way to purchase the ticket," the sales associate said.
The young lady still wanted to persuade the handsome man to consider a membership.
But the tone in the handsome man's voice had already let her know that he didn't want to waste time.
Although disappointed he didn't get a membership, she still led Su Mu to buy the ticket with enthusiasm.
Perhaps the handsome man hadn't had the chance to experience the climbing gym's facilities, which is why he was reluctant to get a membership.
Maybe next time he comes, he'll decide to get one?
Not wanting the encounter with the handsome man to last just these few brief minutes, the young lady comforted herself internally.
Li Feiyu looked on with a displeased expression as the staff led Su Mu toward the ticket counter.
In Li Feiyu's eyes, the climbing gym's staff was not professional at all.
Li Feiyu felt that the staff member was a bit too close to Su Mu.
So close that Li Feiyu wanted to step forward and pull the staff member away.
Of course, this was just a thought.
Taking advantage of the moment while Su Mu went to buy the ticket, Li Yaoming once again warned Li Feiyu firmly.
If Li Feiyu caused any more trouble, there would be no need to continue the bet.
Li Yaoming would immediately take Li Feiyu to the car and go back to Guanghai City.
Moreover, he made it explicitly clear to Li Feiyu that if this happened,
today would be the last time Li Feiyu saw Su Mu.
Hearing her father's stern warning, Li Feiyu finally stood still obediently.
But in her mind, she had already stabbed the staff member full of imaginary holes with her gaze.
The ticket purchase was quite fast.
Since climbing required special shoes, Su Mu directly paid for two pairs.
Even though the climbing gym provided free shoes for guests to wear while climbing,
Su Mu had no interest in wearing shoes that countless others had worn.
Even in his prior eighteen years of ordinary life, Su Mu had never worn second-hand shoes,
let alone the present Su Mu, for whom wearing "worn-out shoes" simply was out of the question.
Su Mu did not treat Li Feiyu harshly, though he did not like her.
Out of consideration for Elder Li and Li Yaoming's face, Su Mu bought a pair for Li Feiyu as well.
The Li family's little princess probably wouldn't want to wear second-hand shoes either, would she?
"Sir, what size shoes do you need?" the young lady asked.
At this moment, her judgment of the handsome man became even more certain.
He must be a rich second generation!
Climbing shoes have a sole made of hard rubber, and the whole shoe is made of tough leather.
The shoes are rather difficult to make,
and Su Mu was willing to pay a price higher than the market rate by more than two to three times at the climbing gym.
One could say that the cost of a pair of climbing shoes was enough to purchase climbing tickets several times over.
The sales associate was quite impressed with the handsome man's generous spending.
"Should I go with my regular size?" Su Mu asked,
completely clueless about climbing, not even understanding these basic facts.
Li Feiyu, who was not far away, heard Su Mu and couldn't help but feel delighted.
It seemed that the results of the private investigation she had commissioned were indeed true.
Su Mu had never been exposed to climbing.
Wasn't his lack of knowledge about climbing shoes the best proof?
Li Feiyu felt she had made the right bet.
This time, she could win the bet even lying down.
