Chapter 345: Teacher Ran: Shazhu, I won't indulge you; if you want to quit, I won't try to stop you

Shazhu felt very annoyed.

The money was gone.

Before the house was even mentioned, Qin Huairu said he should keep letting Bang Geng live there.

Moreover, Qin Huairu also wanted him to leave the remaining room for Xiao Dang.

That was really too much.

But he still didn't dare to completely break with Qin Huairu.

Because Teacher Ran hadn't yet gotten together with him.

Mainly, from the situation, Teacher Ran seemed not to like him.

They don't give him any face.

If things with Teacher Ran didn't work out, he was still thinking of going back to Qin Huairu.

Although Bang Geng is unreliable, at least he still has Xiao Dang and Huaihua.

In the future, he might have to rely on those two sisters for his old-age support.

However, the main thing now is still to force Qin Huairu to give him back his money.

He simply didn't believe Qin Huairu had spent all the money.

After thinking, he let out a cold snort and said:

"Your demand isn't simple at all."

"I only have these two rooms; one is already given to Bang Geng to live in."

"How can you have the nerve to ask me to give the remaining room to Xiao Dang?"

"Then I ask you, where am I supposed to live?"

Qin Huairu: "You can stay at a hotel."

"Anyway, you're going to be with Teacher Ran."

"She's so rich, wouldn't she have a house?"

Shazhu: "Don't say those useless things."

"I haven't even got a single stroke of the eight characters with Teacher Ran yet."

"Besides, I don't believe you spent all my money."

"For all these years I've been supporting your family."

"No merit, but there's been hard work."

"I hope you'll give me back what's mine."

"I have no children now, and I'll still need money for my old age."

Qin Huairu frowned and said:

"Shazhu, I really have spent it all."

"I thought this was what you gave me, and I wouldn't have to give it back."

"Rest assured, everyone in my family will remember all your kindness over the years."

"We won't forget."

"Even if Teacher Ran doesn't provide for your old age, Bang Geng and Xiao Dang will take care of you."

"You can rest assured about that, really."

Shazhu: "I don't care about all that."

"Anyway, you have to give me back what's mine."

"I'm not forcing you either."

"Think about it well; this is money I earned through hard work."

"I've also realized that only when money is in hand does one feel at ease; nobody can be relied on."

"Look at Xiao Dang and Huaihua giving me the cold shoulder; look at everyone in this courtyard giving me the cold shoulder."

"No, what exactly have I done wrong?"

Qin Huairu: "You want money, but I really don't have any."

"If you insist, the only option is to wait for the kids to save up and then give you money."

After saying that, Qin Huairu stood up and walked out.

The next day.

Shazhu packed his change of clothes into a suitcase, lifted the suitcase, and walked out the door.

Huaihua quickly noticed that Shazhu was gone, and his change of clothes were missing too.

She hurried back home and asked Qin Huairu:

"Mom, how did Uncle Shazhu leave?"

"You didn't lock the door last night, did you?"

Qin Huairu made a nasal sound and didn't speak.

Huaihua then said: "Mom, did you hear?"

"How can you be so unmoved?"

Qin Huairu still didn't speak.

Huaihua stomped her feet in anger and walked out.

At the same time.

Shazhu was sitting at the hotel entrance, leaning on his suitcase and dozing.

Many people stood around him.

Manager said with an apologetic smile: "Head Chef, Xiao Meng didn't hear you knock; that's his fault."

"He has already apologized to you."

"Just be magnanimous and don't hold it against him."

"Just forgive him this once, okay?"

Shazhu pretended to have just woken up, his eyes bleary, he rubbed them, then kept them closed, feigning sleep.

Ma Hua took a deep breath, let out a soft sigh; he was also out of options.

The Manager then said: "Head Chef, we're about to start work."

"Sitting here like this is really bad for business, right?"

"Don't be so unreasonable, okay?"

"Nobody has it easy working for a living."

"You have to give your subordinates a chance."

Ma Hua: "Master, don't stoop to his level."

"Come on, let me help you up."

Saying that, Ma Hua reached out to pull Shazhu up.

Shazhu shoved him away, angrily shouting: "Get lost!"

"Don't touch me."

Ma Hua felt depressed.

But he knew Shazhu's temper too well to dare say anything else.

He just stood to the side.

Just then, Teacher Ran appeared.

The Manager hurried forward to greet her.

"Chairman, look, this Head Chef..."

Teacher Ran smiled faintly, raised her hand, making a gesture for her to stop speaking.

Then she walked toward Shazhu.

As she walked, she asked: "He Yuzhu, what are you doing?"

Shazhu gave a cold snort, opened his eyes, looked at Teacher Ran and asked:

"What's the problem, Boss?"

Having said that, Shazhu looked at the security guard and then asked:

"I heard he has better connections than me, right?"

Upon hearing that, Teacher Ran frowned involuntarily.

Shazhu then said: "It seems he really does have better connections."

"Then there's nothing we can do; sayonara."

Saying that, he stood up.

Teacher Ran: "You're being way too willful!"

Shazhu: "That's just who I am."

"Whoever has the stronger connections stays."

"He has the stronger connections, right?"

"Then I guess I have to leave."

"Anyway, I've laid it all out today—either he stays and I go, or I stay and he goes."

"As long as you keep him, I will definitely leave today."

"I must leave!"

Teacher Ran gave a cold chuckle and said: "He Yuzhu, if you insist on saying that, then it's up to you."

"Others may indulge you, but I won't."

"You bully a security guard—what's fun about that?"

"Do you really think this restaurant can't run without you?"

"Nan Yi is currently unemployed at home, and his cooking is no worse than yours."

Hearing that, Shazhu was dumbfounded.

He didn't expect Teacher Ran to be unafraid of him leaving.

He didn't expect Teacher Ran to have gotten in touch with Nan Yi.

Ma Hua was also stunned.

If Shazhu leaves, he'll have to leave too.

That would mean unemployment, right?

"Um, Boss, I, I'll try to persuade my master again, uh."

Teacher Ran: "Ma Hua, you don't need to persuade him."

"I'll make things clear today."

"He Yuzhu, I'm telling you."

"That security guard is just following orders."

"You're a Head Chef—why compete with him?"

"If you want to blame someone, blame me—I ordered all of this."

"Xiao Meng was just following my instructions."

If I fire him today, who will still listen to me in the future?

Can my restaurant stay open?

I'm waiting for you in the office.

If you want to resign, no problem—I won't try to stop you; just come to my office to finish the paperwork.

If you want to keep working, that's also fine.

But you can't compete with your subordinates.

Having said that, he walked into the restaurant amidst Shazhu's extreme gloom and the security guard's emotion.
