Chapter 164 Wynne yelped, eyes wide.
"Oh right! Serena, do you have any openings at your company?" "The big shot was right besideall along!" Alicia was equally stunned. She immediately pulled out her printed résumé, cleared her throat, and straightened her appearance.
Once Serena finished ordering, she gave a proper self-introduction. She wasn't fazed by the curious stares of others. Her speech was well-structured, her demeanor steady yet engaging.
Serena's eyes lit up instantly. She had just acquired Amber Group and was in urgent need of talent.

I don't need to rely on Wynne's connections." "That's not what I'm worried about. Networking is common in the workplace-it's not a big deal." Serena chuckled helplessly, then briefly explained Amber Group's current situation.
"I can guarantee your salary in the beginning, but as for how far you can go, it might take ten days or half a month if things go well. Or, it could be years. I hope you'll consider it carefully." As soon as she finished speaking, Alicia smiled. "My answer is yes." "This is about your future-aren't you going to think it over?" Serena was startled by her decisiveness.
Alicia shook her head. "No need. I believe that like attracts like. If you're Wynne's friend, then you must also be outstanding and resilient. Anything you do won't be bad. Besides, I told you—I just need a chance. And your company offers an opportunity too good to pass up!" Wynne immediately applauded, praising Alicia's boldness.
Serena couldn't help but laugh. She admired Alicia even more now and thought Wynne had great taste in friends. With the matter settled, Serena and Alicia exchanged contact information and scheduled a formal meeting.
The three were just about to enjoy their meal when they heard someone say, "How dare a beggar eat at a place like this? Serena, you have such terrible taste in friends. Bringing these two out to dinner-aren't you afraid they'll dirty the Cullinan Mr. Larson bought for you?" Sarah's voice rang out from the side.
Wynne and Alicia instantly fell silent. They glanced at Sarah, who was dressed head to toe in luxury brands. Behind her sat a group of well-dressed socialites, clearly part of the elite crowd dining at the restaurant.
Alicia frowned. "Is this place skind of high-end restaurant?" Wynne, in her usual work attire—a plain blouse and jeans, with traces of clay still clinging to her pants-was unbothered.
"Serena brought us here to eat, not to show off." "Good point." Alicia nodded.
Sarah sneered at their conversation. "What a couple of country bumpkins! You don't even know where you are? "Open your stupid eyes and take a good look! This place is filled with elites and high society, dressed impeccably. A single meal here costs more than you two will earn in a lifetime.
"Look at yourselves-wearing ill-fitting clothes, covered in dirt. You're no different from beggars!" She shot Serena a contemptuous glance, as if saying-only she would befriend beggars.

Wynne and Alicia's faces darkened instantly. But since they were merely guests invited to dinner, and they invited to didn't know Sarah well, they hesitated to talk back and were about to ignore her. The next moment, Serena crossed her arms and spoke coldly, "This restaurant doesn't allow animals inside. Why are you barking here? "People cto a restaurant to eat, yet instead of focusing on the exquisite dishes in front of you, you're staring at other people's clothes.
"Seems like even a table full of gourmet delicacies can't shut your filthy mouth. Even such cutting-edge interior design can't impress your tacky eyes." With that, she tossed her card onto the table.
"Waiter, my dear sister seems to be yapping out of hunger. She must be too broke to afford a meal here. Give her the menu and let her order your signature dishes! "Make sure she eats her fill-so she doesn't embarrass my family in such a high-end restaurant!"
