Chapter 346: Cowardly

“Since you need to add cooks, let’s add two. Let’s take a look at the one you mentioned first, and then you can find a way to hire another one.”

“Dine-in service can be suspended for a few days while the upstairs is being renovated. Please note that the kitchen is an important area and outsiders are not allowed to enter.”

“We also have to start planning for staff arrangements and the recruitment of new employees.”

Lin Chuxia made the arrangements one by one, and Jia Liang nodded repeatedly, “I know, Mr. Lin.”

Lin Chuxia couldn’t help laughing when she saw him following behind her with such an honest look on his face.

Who would have thought that he was also a big brother in the underworld.

Not to mention that he can make things happen with a flip of his hand, he definitely has the ability and prestige in the underworld.

“By the way, did you go on the blind date that Aunt Jia arranged for you? How was it?”

Jia Liang was still recording Mr. Lin’s instructions in his mind, and he was unable to react for a long time when the topic suddenly changed.

“Okay, why did Mr. Lin bring this up?”

“Work matters are important, personal life is important too. Tell me, what do you think of the other person?”

Seeing him like this, Lin Chuxia knew that he must have gone on a blind date.

She was quite curious.

Jia Liang felt a little embarrassed by Lin Chuxia’s question, and he looked out the window and grumbled.

“Don’t mention it. The matchmaker told my mother that although the other party was a little older and not good-looking, she was capable. But when they met, the woman didn’t say a word. At first, I thought she was too shy to save face. But in the end, when I said I wanted to talk to her alone, she exposed herself. Not only did she stutter, but she also seemed to have some problems with her brain. My mother was so angry that she almost fought with the matchmaker. Although I didn’t live up to my expectations in the early years, in my mother’s eyes, it wasn’t that bad…”

Jia Liang was too embarrassed to say it. Not only was the woman ugly, but he could tell at first sight that she might have some intellectual problems.

Lin Chuxia frowned. Although Jia Liang had a bald head and a big face and looked like someone who was not easy to mess with, he was not ugly.

I’m a little older, but I have a decent job now, so the market situation shouldn’t be that bad, right?
How could she know that the other party saw that Jia Liang and his friends were from the lower classes and were just doing odd jobs for self-employed individuals, so he deliberately introduced them to a woman with poor conditions.

“Don’t worry, it must be that destiny hasn’t arrived yet. When destiny arrives, you won’t be able to stop your luck in love.”

Jia Liang smiled and said, “I’m not in a hurry. It’s my mother, but she should have given up now and won’t let the matchmaker arrange a marriage for me for the time being.”

After all, the old lady had taken a liking to the young waitress in his shop, and always wanted him to bring one back for her as a daughter-in-law.

Jia Liang didn’t have that intention at all. Even rabbits don’t eat grass near their burrows.

Besides, the girl in the store didn’t look like someone who could be a wife. If she were a little older, she could almost be his daughter, so he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

After leaving the steamed bun shop, Lin Chuxia rode her bike directly to the cloth shop.

The last time she went to get the quilt cover, she had already given the clothing pattern to the cloth seller, and this time she was going to get the ready-made clothes.

She made a small suit for herself and also took Qin Yang’s measurements these two days.

She saw a piece of woolen cloth in the fabric shop, the color of which was perfect for making a suit.

The suits available on the market nowadays are too loose, with thick shoulder pads, and the trousers are also baggy and big. Lin Chuxia really doesn’t like that style.

However, Lin Chuxia did not plan to customize a pair of skinny cropped pants in the style of later generations for him.

I was afraid that Qin Yang would be laughed at by his colleagues for not being able to afford pants and having to wear small pants that expose his ankles.

When passing a street, Lin Chuxia saw Qin Juan walking hurriedly across the street. She wanted to say hello to her, but she held back. She glanced at the pedestrians and vehicles on both sides and turned around while pushing her bicycle.

Then he followed Qin Juan not too far away.

Qin Juan seemed to be in a hurry and did not notice Lin Chuxia behind her. She went straight into a restaurant until she reached the door.

Lin Chuxia took a look at the sign. It should be a privately-run restaurant. Business seemed good. Through the glass, she could see that there were many customers inside, but Qin Juan was nowhere to be seen.

This restaurant is a storefront facing the street, with a yard at the back, which also has a separate door.

Lin Chuxia locked her bicycle aside and went directly to the backyard.

The gate was closed, but I could still hear the sounds from the yard.

“I’m wondering what’s wrong with you. You’re late every day. There are so many people outside waiting for their plates. Can you be responsible for delaying business?”

“I’m sorry, boss. I really had something to do at home today. I won’t do this again next time.”

“You really have problems at home every day. I’m not such an unreasonable person, but you can’t push your luck. It’s not easy for anyone to do business. I’m paying you.”

“Then… then boss, please deduct some of my wages.”

“You don’t even need to tell me that. Of course I have to deduct your wages. Even if you’re late every day, I can’t just deduct 50 cents from you. Today I have to deduct 2 dollars from you.”

“Boss, I don’t even make a dollar a day washing dishes here, and your two dollars…”

“This is a lesson for you. If you don’t deduct more points, you will be late again next time.”

Lin Chuxia couldn’t bear it any longer and kicked the door open.

The restaurant owner was startled and glared at the other person, “Who are you?”

Qin Juan was also shocked to see Lin Chuxia and stood up, “Sister-in-law!”

Lin Chuxia looked directly at her boss with anger in her eyes, “She has already told me the reason, why are you being so aggressive? You want her to work for you for free even if you can’t just deduct one day’s salary? Are you punishing her? You are bullying an honest person.”

When the boss heard her question, a hint of guilt flashed across his eyes, but he still stiffened his neck and refuted.

“Did I not give her a chance? Just ask her how many times she was late this month. If I hadn’t been so magnanimous, I would have fired her long ago and she wouldn’t have earned a dime.”

“If you don’t want to earn money, then don’t earn it. Who needs your few dollars?” Lin Chuxia stepped forward and held Qin Juan. “Sister, we don’t want to work here anymore. Let’s settle the bill with him and leave.”

The boss saw that the other party was a tough guy and thought that if Qin Juan left, he would not have enough staff, which would be a real problem.

“What bill? She left without finishing her work and you want to settle it? Ask her what she told me at the beginning. If she doesn’t work for a full month, don’t even think about settling the bill.”

Qin Juan also reacted at this time, and quickly advised, “Sister-in-law, I shouldn’t be late. It’s not the boss’s fault. We agreed to work for a full month.”

“Sister, he is bullying us. We don’t want to make this money anymore and don’t want to be bullied by him.”

“How can you talk like that, little girl? What do you mean by being humiliated? Ask Qin Juan how I treat her. Who else would want to use her except me? Qin Juan, please tell me something fair. Did I deliberately deduct your salary?”

Qin Juan smiled at the boss and said, “I’m sorry, boss. My sister-in-law doesn’t know the situation. I’ll tell her.”

Seeing that Qin Juan wanted to solve it herself, the boss looked at Lin Chuxia again, snorted coldly, and turned to the front.

Qin Juan apologized to Lin Chuxia first, “I’m sorry, sister-in-law. I know you’re doing this for my own good, but I was wrong in the first place. Anyone would be angry if they were late for work every other day.”
