Chapter 333: Teacher Ran: Shazhu, you were late for work, three days' wages will be deducted, you have no objection, right?
Hearing You Fengxia's words, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were stunned.
After a moment of daze, Liu Guangtian hurriedly said:
"Don't mind, hey, Boss You, please don't get angry."
"My brother Xu is always like this."
"Please, you really must not get angry."
Liu Guangfu echoed in agreement:
"Yeah, this Xu Damao is flaunting the relationship between you and him."
"Actually, we all know exactly what kind of person he is."
Liu Guangtian: "Exactly, exactly, exactly."
You Fengxia: "I have nothing to do with him."
"He gets physical the moment he meets someone."
"What kind of person is this?"
"I don't want to cooperate with this kind of person."
"If you two want to cooperate with me,"
"then do as I say."
"I'll leave first."
After saying that, You Fengxia stood up and walked out.
Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu just watched her leave, and after she vanished from their sight, Liu Guangtian patted the table, looking dejected, and said:
"Tell me, tell me, this Xu Damao ruins every good thing."
Liu Guangfu, with a worried frown, asked:
"Then what should we do?"
Without thinking, Liu Guangtian blurted out:
"What to do? Just ditch him, right?"
"We should listen to Boss You."
"Not making money when you can is being a bastard."
Liu Guangfu: "Ditch him?"
Liu Guangtian: "Isn't that obvious?"
"Of course, ditch him."
At that moment, Xu Damao came back.
Seeing that You Fengxia was gone, he furrowed his brows and asked:
"Boss You, where did you go?"
Liu Guangtian said irritably:
"What went where? She left."
"When people see us, they think we're not businesspeople, so they refuse to deal with us."
"They say we lack strength and don't want to cooperate with us."
Xu Damao snorted coldly and asked:
"Do you know why?"
Liu Guangtian: "Why?"
Xu Damao: "Summarize it, brother."
"How many times have I told you two brothers?"
"In this line of work, you need better gear."
"Look at how shabby you two are dressed, huh."
"Look at me—can't you learn from me?"
"Doing business, brother."
As the words fell, a waiter came over with a menu.
Approaching Xu Damao, he asked:
"Are you still eating?"
Xu Damao lifted the corner of his mouth, looked at the waiter, and said:
"Sure, you can treat us, okay?"
The waiter, hearing that, was momentarily stunned.
Xu Damao looked at Liu Guangtian and said irritably:
"Aren't you leaving yet, you two?"
Near noon, Shazhu finally got up from the bed.
Shazhu had been thinking almost all night last night, and only fell into a drowsy sleep as dawn approached.
Shazhu kept thinking that if he kept ignoring Qin Huairu, she might get along with Xu Damao.
If that were the case, Shazhu would feel very wronged.
Xu Damao was Shazhu's mortal enemy.
How could Qin Huairu possibly get along with Xu Damao?
But logically, Qin Huairu was also pressuring Shazhu to get married and register.
Now Shazhu increasingly doesn't want to marry Qin Huairu, because Shazhu thinks Teacher Ran is better than her.
Qin Huairu is too unsophisticated.
Bang Geng is again a white-eyed wolf.
If he really married Qin Huairu, I'm afraid Qin Huairu might not be able to bear children.
Then by that time, Bang Geng might not support him in his old age.
Teacher Ran is different.
Young, stylish, and well-off, running such a big restaurant.
Moreover, he has met Teacher Ran's son before; the son is quite polite and treats him well.
Even if he doesn't support him in old age, as long as he stays with Teacher Ran, he won't lack money or worry about old-age support.
If he stays with Teacher Ran, in front of Xu Damao he will naturally feel several ranks higher.
He thought about it for so long last night, and finally made up his mind.
He will dead-set pursue Teacher Ran.
He must be with Teacher Ran.
But he also doesn't want to let go of Qin Huairu.
Because he worries Qin Huairu might follow Xu Damao.
Then he would be unhappy.
So, what he's thinking now is to drag Qin Huairu along, wait until she gets older and less attractive, then Xu Damao might not look down on her.
Just as he finished putting on his clothes, suddenly a knocking sound came.
Shazhu sat up on the bed and shouted, "Come in."
In his opinion, it must be a staff member from the back kitchen.
However.
When the door was pushed open, he saw Teacher Ran, hurriedly stood up, put on a smile, and said:
"I'm here."
Teacher Ran walked in, glanced around, looked at Shazhu and asked:
"Did you sleep here last night?"
Shazhu: "Yes, yes, yes, I'm just a cook, not that precious, I can manage anywhere."
Teacher Ran: "No, why don't you go home?"
"Could it be that Bang Geng's mother kicked you out?"
Shazhu: "How could that be, Teacher Ran? Did you hear some rumor?"
"I have no relationship with Qin Huairu whatsoever."
"I just sympathize with their family—a widow, right, with three kids and a mother-in-law; it's not easy, so I usually help them out."
"I really have no relation with them at all."
Teacher Ran laughed and said: "You don't need to tell me that."
"Although you work at the restaurant, you haven't started work yet—aren't you worried that the dishes your subordinates make might be bad and customers will complain?"
Shazhu stared for a moment, then said: "It's fine, my apprentice can handle it, no problem, ah."
"Even without my guidance, the dishes would only be slightly off, no big deal."
Teacher Ran furrowed his brows and asked: "Is this your work attitude?"
Upon hearing that, Shazhu, somewhat displeased, said: "This, you're the boss, you're responsible for everything."
"The back kitchen is under my charge, so don't interfere, okay?"
Shazhu had already made up his mind: he must find a way to curry favor with Teacher Ran, dead-set pursue Teacher Ran, even if it means being a sycophant, he won't hesitate.
Anyway, his ultimate goal is to win over Teacher Ran, by any means necessary.
But he is just that willful.
Whoever makes him unhappy, he won't have nice words.
Teacher Ran: "Fine, I won't interfere."
"But you must clock in on time; not taking leave and still not being on time counts as tardy."
"I'll deduct three days' wages from you, you have no objection, right?"
Shazhu became even more displeased.
He let out a cold snort, spoke unhappily: "Fine, no objection."
"From now on I will clock in on time."
"By the way, I want to ask you: did you issue an order last night forbidding people from our courtyard from coming to see me?"
Teacher Ran: "That's right, it was my order."
"During the day, them coming to see you, I have no objection."
"Of course, as long as it doesn't affect the restaurant's normal operation."
"But at night, idle people should not enter the back kitchen."
Shazhu: "No, are you saying the people from our courtyard are idle riffraff?"
Teacher Ran: "Isn't that the case?"
Shazhu became furious.
But in the end, he still held back.
