Chapter 1507's evaluation of Wei Ronghua

Shu Yu sat down behind them and ordered a bowl of noodles and a plate of peanuts.

She ate noodles in a Western style, drinking water and eating peanuts at the same time.

Shu Yu wanted to get some information from the two men, so after taking a couple of bites, she turned around and tried to strike up a conversation with them.

Unexpectedly, after taking a sip of the noodle soup, the two of them started talking amongst themselves.

"I'm starving! I'm finally getting something to eat."

"It's all that Feng grandson's fault. Ever since he came, we've been working until late every night. We don't do anything for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there are no customers at night, so why do we have to stay so late? I don't know what the boss was thinking, hiring someone like this to keep an eye on us."

"You bet! This bastard really thinks he's the boss. When Manager Wei was in charge, he was lenient when he needed to be and strict when he needed to be. We would finish our work and occasionally take a break, and the manager wouldn't say anything. But this Feng bastard is different. He asks us all sorts of questions even when we go to the outhouse, as if he's afraid we'll fall into the latrine."

"Don't talk about such disgusting things while we're eating."

The two paused, slurped down a couple of mouthfuls of noodles, and only after feeling better did they continue talking.

"Tell me, Manager Wei is being suppressed so badly by Feng Sunzi, why hasn't he made a single move? When we first arrived, Manager Wei used one trick after another, and we were completely convinced of his abilities. But Feng Sunzi, apart from having his boss backing him, is just an idiot. Can't Manager Wei handle him?"

"Hehe, I know that." The shopkeeper suddenly lowered his voice. "I guess Manager Wei doesn't want to stay at Hongxiang Cake anymore."

"What do you mean by that?"

“A few days ago, someone came to the prefectural city and chatted with Manager Wei for a few minutes. I happened to overhear it. As we all know, Manager Wei was originally the head manager of the prefectural city, but he was forced to leave by a Mr. Miao, so he came to our small county town. Now that Mr. Miao has left the prefectural city, I reckon Manager Wei still wants to go back to the prefectural city and find a suitable shop.”

"Are you serious?" the other person exclaimed in surprise, forgetting even to finish their noodles.

"I'm guessing. Think about it, the current boss doesn't like the manager. He brought Feng Sunzi over, which is obviously to replace him. If the manager continues to work there, he'll be fired anyway, so he might as well leave and find a way out."

"That's true. Ever since the new owner took over the shop, no matter what Manager Wei says, the owner opposes it. Even with the hibiscus cake, if Manager Wei hadn't made a solemn pledge, the new owner wouldn't have agreed. But it turned out well; the hibiscus cake received a reward from the county magistrate's wife, and it sold extremely well ever since. I originally thought that after this incident, the new owner would value Manager Wei even more, but..."

The man shook his head as he spoke, "The shopkeeper is disheartened."

The two of them sighed in unison and began to lament their future.

Shu Yu stopped listening after hearing this.

She put down the coins and left the noodle stall with Yingxi.

From the two men, Shu Yu gained a more direct understanding of Wei Ronghua.

He has the means, is good at managing subordinates, knows how to seize opportunities to plan the shop's business, and is quite bold to make a pledge. Also... he's thinking of changing jobs.

Before leaving the shop, he was somewhat pessimistic and did not intend to continue dealing with the interpersonal relationships within the shop.

But he is still doing his best in his work, and that's enough. No one is perfect.
