Chapter 1874: Everyone Has Someone in Their Heart They Cannot Forget

~7 min read 1,400 words

Zichen looks free-spirited, but he is not as free-spirited as Gu Yuxin; he likes a thing for a very long time, and once he falls in love, it is for a lifetime; he does not give up so easily.

Gu Yuxin has fallen in love with someone else, and that person has already started a new relationship, so he has also been completely turned over a new page.

But to ask him to also completely turn over a new page, he cannot do it.

He still has a place for Gu Yuxin in his heart; at this time, accepting another girl would be unfair to anyone!

Zirui goes without saying, and Zihan is actually the same.

The former playboy now lives like an ascetic monk; there is not a single girl by his side, and at first, everyone thought he could not hold out for long, that holding out for a month at most would be remarkable.

But no one expected that he actually held out for two years; in these two years, not a single girl appeared by Zihan's side, and no matter how beautiful a girl was, he would not even glance at her.

Some people do not cherish others when they are by their side, and only when they truly lose them do they regret it too late.

In fact, although the brothers have different personalities, they all share one thing that is very similar to their father—devotion!

Some of it can be seen on the surface, while some is hidden very deep, but in their bones, it is all the same thing.

Life, although wonderful, also has its own bitterness!

This night, the three brothers were all drunk, and after getting drunk, they came to the riverside to shout out their innermost thoughts to their hearts' content.

Zichen: "If we cannot be together forever, why bother having once possessed? I want to drive you out of my heart and start my new life!"

Zirui: "Are you okay? I am very well."

Zihan: "Tian Yuanyuan, I miss you! Sob sob sob..."

Fortunately, there are often people by the riverside who get drunk and come here to yell and scream, acting crazy from the alcohol.

The three brothers did not attract anyone's attention, but under a streetlamp stood a person who had been silently watching the three brothers, especially Zihan.

When Zihan shouted, "Tian Yuanyuan, I miss you...", this person shuddered reflexively; she wanted to run, but in the end, she could not bear to, and just watched silently.

Later, after the three finished shouting, Zichen called a driver to drive them away, and the shadow under the streetlamp then left with peace of mind.

——————————————————————————————

The rumors in the restaurant spread back and forth, and finally reached the ears of Li Xueer, and she heard them too.

Hearing the news that "the boss has a fiancée abroad," she only felt her blood surging, and she almost exploded on the spot.

Sheng Zichen has a fiancée?

How come she had never heard him mention it?

"Bang!"

Li Xueer rushed into Sheng Zichen's office and questioned him aggressively: "You have a fiancée, why have you never told me?"

Zichen glanced at her and said calmly: "Whether I have a fiancée or not, there is no need to report it to an employee, right? This is my privacy."

The single word "employee" made Li Xueer sober up.

That's right, she is not anyone to Sheng Zichen, just an employee, ha!

What right does she have to run into someone's office to hold them accountable?

She felt she had lost face, but she could not admit defeat.

"Since you have a fiancée, why did you tell my father that you were not considering personal matters? Causing him to misunderstand? And do you know how ugly the rumors outside are? You are too dishonest, your character is problematic, I want to resign, I'm not doing this anymore."

Saying she would resign, she resigned; she did not even need the boss's approval, she took off her apron right then, threw it down, and turned to leave.

Sheng Zichen knew very well that Li Xueer liked him.

He also knew that Li Xueer had a stubborn temper.

So he did not call out to her, but instead went outside with a cold face and had the lobby manager and the shift leader come in for a meeting.

And the head chef from the back kitchen, as long as they had some rank, not one could run!

This was an excellent opportunity to rectify the restaurant.

Sheng Zichen's expression was very serious, staring at everyone one by one, his gaze like a torch.

These people being stared at felt guilty, and one by one they could not help but lower their heads.

Everyone's heart was beating like a drum, feeling uneasy.

Everyone had seen Li Xueer run out crying just now, and they were just about to start a new round of gossip, but before they could even begin, they were urgently summoned for a meeting.

Why the meeting?

Although it hadn't started yet, everyone had an idea in their hearts.

Sure enough, everyone guessed right this time.

Sheng Zichen circled everyone three times, and when everyone's nerves were pulled tight, he finally spoke: "Recently I have heard some idle gossip; I don't need to say it, I presume you know it better than I do..."

Whatever you fear comes to pass.

That's right, everyone knew.

But everyone was playing dumb, and no one would speak first.

Some even looked at each other, trying to distance themselves from it.

Sheng Zichen: "No one wants to admit it, right? Fine, even if you don't admit it, I actually know it all."

"How about this: whoever spread the rumors, go and invite Li Xueer back for me; as for the reason, I don't need to teach you, you should be better at talking than I am."

No one stood up voluntarily.

No one is stupid; who would voluntarily stand up and admit they were the rumor-monger?

That wouldn't be asking for trouble, would it?

Although no one stood up voluntarily, Zichen had other ways.

He divided the people into two groups, the back kitchen as one group and the front desk as another; whichever group could invite Li Xueer back would be rewarded with five thousand yuan.

The group that failed to do so would be fined five thousand yuan!

Once Zichen's method was introduced, it immediately pitted the front desk against the back kitchen.

The two groups that were just winking at each other now looked at each other with completely different eyes; when no interests were involved, everyone was friendly and getting along.

However, when interests are involved, everyone knows in their hearts what should be done.

Zichen saw the change in everyone's expressions and chuckled inwardly.

Originally, he upheld the philosophy that only through unity and cooperation could the restaurant do better and better, and he had always wanted the employees to have harmonious relationships so they could earn money while being happy at work.

But now it seems that is not the case at all.

Once the employees are harmonious, they start thinking about how to scheme against the boss, and they have even started making up gossip about him.

Such a trend must be stopped immediately.

Now, Sheng Zichen only used a small strategy of sowing discord, and the effect was immediate.

Neither of the two groups wanted to lose money, so they immediately began to take action.

They even almost got into a fight over who would go first and who would go later!

In the end, a young apprentice in the kitchen provided a solution, saying: "Arguing back and forth won't lead to a result; why don't we draw lots? Whoever draws it goes first."

This was a good method, so they immediately started drawing lots; the kitchen staff drew the paper slip for going first, and the front-of-house servers could only stare helplessly.

The kitchen staff held an emergency meeting to discuss their story, then sent two of the most eloquent chefs to call Li Xueer.

The phone was turned off, so the two of them went to Li Xueer's home to find her.

Upon arriving at Li Xueer's home, the two of them didn't even get to see Li Xueer before they were kicked out by Lao Litou!
