Belle Kindergart trance.
Yang Hao arrived earlier today, with fifte minutes still to go before Xixi got out of school.
He didn't get out of the car but sat in the vehicle and oped up the folded group chat, finding the group nad [Yang's Hot Pot·Prosperous Business].
This group was for the employees of Yang Hao's hot pot restaurant, which at its peak had over sixty mbers. With the closure of the restaurant, only 8 remained, 7 excluding Yang Hao himself.
Yang Hao had thought about disbanding the group, but he couldn't bear to do it, thinking it would keep the mory alive, and perhaps there would be a chance for a coback, to gather everyone together again.
Those still in the group were almost all employees who had followed Yang Hao from very early on; the shortest ture among them was three to four years, as for the likes such as Xu izhu who had worked with him for t years.
So many had beco frids, occasionally chatting in the group, and the last ti soone had spok was three days ago.
Xu izhu was organizing a get-together, tagging Yang Hao, but he hadn't be following the folded group's ssages and didn't reply.
Perhaps because their forr boss hadn't responded, not many others did, and in the d, the plan fizzled out.
Yang Hao considered for a momt, th tagged everyone: Brothers and sisters, it's be a long ti, let's et next Monday afternoon at Maji Hot Pot on Star Cloud Comrcial Street; I'll treat you all, try to make it!
Hao Xiaoshuai: Hao, are you finally coming out of retiremt?
Zhang iling: Wow, refreshingly gerous boss, I happ to have Monday off, I'll definitely be there!
He Wei: Perfect, I wasn't sure which day to take off, I'll take Monday th.
...
After sding the ssage, he imdiately received several responses, all explicitly stating they would definitely attd.
Seeing these familiar nas, Yang Hao's lips curved into a slight smile; they were all brothers and sisters who had struggled together. Seeing their nas reminded him of the days running the hot pot restaurant; it was busy and exhausting, but the feeling of striving for a better life was sothing to reminisce.
While Yang Hao was lost in these mories, Xu izhu st him a Weixin ssage: Hao, why don't we gather at the place I work now? We can get a discount.
Seeing the ssage from this loyal employee dear sister, Yang Hao chuckled and shook his head, knowing she wanted to save him so money.
He imdiately replied: There's a reason for the choice of vue for the gathering, you'll find out wh the ti cos.
By the way, quit your currt job!
Hongshan Barbecue.
The dinner rush hour hadn't arrived yet, so the store wasn't busy. Xu izhu was stunned as she looked at the Weixin ssage on her phone.
Ever since Yang's Hot Pot closed down, she had imagined many tis that one day Yang Hao would suddly call her or sd her a Weixin ssage telling her he was oping a new store, asking for her help.
Ev if it was just a pancake stall, she would be willing!
But she never received that call.
A few days ago, she did run into Yang Hao coming to the store to pick up a delivery order. Seeing the once proud and ambitious man reduced to delivering takeout, her heart ached, and she ev drank a bit of alcohol wh she got back to her rted room after work.
At the sa ti, the thought of waiting for Yang Hao's call broke off; she felt there would not be such a call at least in the short term!
However, to her surprise, less than a week had passed, and the long-awaited ssage actually arrived!
She knew Yang Hao too well; he was a man of his word. Since he'd asked her to resign, it ant he needed her help to start a business again.
"Manager Xu, you shouldn't be on your phone during working hours!"
"As a manager, you have to lead by example!"
As Xu izhu stared blankly at the ssage Yang Hao had st her on the micro-ssaging app, a plump middle-aged woman erged from behind the bar.
This woman was the owner of the barbecue restaurant and rarely appeared in the shop, but whever she did, she made sure to assert her presce, especially targeting Xu izhu, for a simple reason: she suspected that her husband hired such a beautiful woman as the manager with ulterior motives!
"Put away your phone already, do you still want to work here?"
"If you don't want to work, just say it outright!"
Seeing that Xu izhu wasn't reacting, the owner's wife scolded her again with a tse face. Her voice was so loud that several waitstaff in the restaurant also looked over.
Playing with your phone during work hours is indeed improper, but in the catering industry, there's not a single waiter who doesn't use their phone because it's really quiet wh it's not alti, and one can't just sit doing nothing.
So wh the shop isn't busy, neither the boss nor the manager would bother about staff playing with their phones.
These days it's hard to recruit waitstaff, and if you're too strict, they'll just walk out without hesitation, since the post-millnials won't keep silt and put up with it.
Being a waiter isn't a secure job anyway, and if it's not comfortable, just switch to another place!
Xu izhu looked up at the owner's wife, whose face was full of fleshy folds.
If it had be before, she would have dured it, since she wasn't like the ordinary waitstaff and had passed the age of youthful recklessness.
But now, things were differt!
She had intded to submit her resignation anyway.
"I really don't want to work here anymore!"
"Settle the wages for this week and I'll leave right now!"
Actually, Xu izhu could guess what the owner's wife was thinking, which was nothing more than worrying about her getting involved with her husband. But Xu izhu naturally had no such inttions, so she had be upright and unafraid of her shadow, indiffert to the owner's wife's snide remarks.
However, at this momt, she could take advantage of the owner's wife's eagerness to have her leave and claim this week's wages.
If it wer't for this little episode, had she initiated the resignation, she would likely have lost this week's wages, but now it was differt, the owner's wife wanted her to leave, and naturally wouldn't begrudge this small amount of money.
"Fine!"
"You said it yourself!"
"Your monthly wage is six thousand, right? I'll transfer you one thousand five hundred!"
As soon as the owner's wife heard Xu izhu was leaving, she was indeed overjoyed, and ev fearing Xu izhu might change her mind, she imdiately transferred one thousand five hundred yuan to her through the micro-ssaging app.
"Thanks!"
"We shall part ways here!"
After receiving the money, Xu izhu's lips curled up slightly. One thousand five hundred yuan, take it wh it's free. This money should be ough for everyone's gathering on Monday.
With that said, she tossed her work jacket onto the bar and left with a carefree turn.
The owner's wife and other waitstaff were left dumbfounded, of them had expected Xu izhu to leave so resolutely.
Especially the owner's wife, who thought she was dreaming; she never expected the little vix in her eyes to leave so easily.
She turned her head, her gaze sweeping over the few ugly waitstaff, and her hanging heart finally settled.
Outside the shop.
Xu izhu first let out a deep breath, th imdiately replied to Yang Hao on the micro-ssaging app: I've resigned, waiting for Hao's summon!
