The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.
...Chapter 51: Drive away
This Chang Yuanda is also a man with no restraint in his words, he spoke out immediately.
"You can't say that you are doing this for our Fushun Building?" Zhang Yongchang's eyes narrowed again.
Most people in the restaurant were afraid of Zhang Yongchang, and Li Fang was no exception. Normally, they wouldn't dare argue with him unless he was angry. Not to mention that Li Fang was already feeling guilty at this moment, and a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
"I think what you said just now was all nonsense. You said it was for the sake of Fu Shun Lou, but you really wanted to deceive the girl. Then you were afraid that this matter would be exposed. I think you were planning to steal Chang Ji's business and vent your anger on you, but you didn't dare to say it. But then you were afraid that the tofu stall's business was getting better and better, and sooner or later you would find out about this. So you went to find Chang Yuanda, thinking that he would squeeze the guy out, and then you could rest easy."
"Chang Yuanda had no idea, so he came to me for advice. As a result, I fell in love with the tofu from the tofu stall again and turned down Chang's. Then I remembered the different taste of the braised tofu that day. You were afraid of being implicated, so you just made up a bunch of nonsense to clear yourself and sell well."
"Is what I said correct?"
Zhang Yongchang said, staring at Li Fang.
That gaze was as sharp as a knife, making Li Fang feel as if his whole body was stabbed with several holes.
Everything he said was accurate to the last detail, and coupled with Zhang Yongchang's questioning, Li Fang panicked, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.
"It's done. I think there's no need to ask about it. It's almost certain." Zhang Yongchang stood up and patted the dust on his hands from peeling melon seeds. "This kind of person has too many thoughts. If he stays in the restaurant, he will probably cause trouble. Shopkeeper, if it doesn't work, just kick him out."
"This..." Feng Yongkang hesitated for a moment and glanced at Li Fang.
Li Fang has been working as a waiter in the restaurant for two or three years. He doesn't have any major problems, and he is lively and easy to work with. If Li Fang is fired, with the salary paid by Fushunlou, there will be no shortage of waiters, but it is just that we need to find someone who is easy to work with...
Feng Yongkang looked at Zhang Yongchang hesitantly again.
Seeing this, Li Fang knelt on the ground, like a chicken pecking at rice, and said, "Boss, Uncle Chang, I know it is indeed my fault this time. At the beginning, the tofu seller came to me and gave me two coins, just to help me see if I can sell tofu. I saw that there was a benefit, so I kept it privately, and thought about making some more in the future..."
"I was indeed blinded by greed at the beginning. The shopkeeper punished me. I also knew that I was wrong and dared not have such thoughts. It was just that I forgot to take the tofu back from the kitchen. I was afraid that if Uncle Chang knew about this, he would punish me, so I kept it a secret. I was also confused at the time and wanted to continue hiding it..."
"I made this mistake because I was confused. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time, boss and Uncle Chang. Just deduct half a month's salary... No, a month's salary will do!"
"I will never dare to do that again..."
Li Fang cried and sobbed, "Boss, although I made a mistake this time, it didn't cause any loss to our restaurant. Considering that I worked honestly in our restaurant before, can you forgive me this time?"
Feng Yongkang became more and more hesitant, and his thoughts became more and more restless.
Zhang Yongchang, on the other hand, glanced at Li Fang and said in a bad tone, "Is this time not enough?"
"If you count it up, this has happened more than once, both here and outside. You have only thought about yourself and not others, so you lied one after another."
"You cheated someone out of money, and in order to avoid being discovered, you used others as a knife and drove away a young girl who was doing business. You are really cruel, and you are still thinking about turning black into white to get some benefits for yourself?"
"Tsk tsk, if you are so worried, I am afraid that if you encounter any problems in the future, you will only think about yourself and ignore everything else."
"Boss, this kind of person cannot be kept."
"But, brother..." Feng Yongkang looked at Li Fang, still a little hesitant: "After all, we are old friends. If it's just because of an outsider... it's not worth it after all. What do you think, brother?"
After all, he seemed a little harsh. I'm afraid that people in this restaurant will think that he is harsh and unwilling to do their job properly.
"Not worth it?" Zhang Yongchang raised his eyebrows: "Well, if the shopkeeper says it's not a big deal, then there's nothing we can do about it. I almost lost such delicious tofu, and I feel very uncomfortable."
"If the shopkeeper thinks it's not worth it and wants to keep this guy, then let him stay."
Although Zhang Yongchang was obviously unhappy, he seemed relieved, and Feng Yongkang was still happy.
But Zhang Yongchang only said, "The shopkeeper thinks that what I said is not important. There is no need for me to stay in Fushunlou in the future. I will pack up and leave. As for the chef of Fushunlou, the shopkeeper can hire someone else."
After saying that, he shook his sleeves and looked like he was going to leave.
When Feng Yongkang saw this, his face turned pale.
Although Fushunlou was once considered a relatively large restaurant in the town, its business was very average and could not compare with Ruyi Pavilion. It was only after he took great pains to invite Zhang Yongchang to be the head chef here that the business gradually improved and has been booming ever since.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
It can be said that a large half of Fu Shun Lou’s business is due to Zhang Yongchang.
It is precisely because of this that Feng Yongkang respects Zhang Yongchang very much. Whenever Zhang Yongchang makes a request in the restaurant, Feng Yongkang will always do so without hesitation if it can be met.
Although Zhang Yongchang had a somewhat stubborn temper, he was diligent and down-to-earth in his work. During all the years he had worked at Fushunlou, he rarely took credit for himself and was quite polite to the shopkeeper. He never let him worry about anything in the kitchen, so Feng Yongkang respected him more and more.
Feng Yongkang once thought that Zhang Yongchang would stay in Fushun Building until he retired.
I never thought that Zhang Yongchang would say such a thing at this moment.
Just because of a piece of tofu and an outsider.
But no matter how shocked he was, since Zhang Yongchang said so, Feng Yongkang naturally had to make a decision quickly.
Without even looking at Li Fang, Feng Yongkang hurriedly stopped Zhang Yongchang, who had a gloomy face, and said, "Brother, calm down. Why are you saying these angry words? We have been brothers for many years, and you are saying such angry words to me because of this matter?"
"Since you think the guys are useless, we won't use them. But you can't leave."
Thanks to the cute "Jin Lingshan" for the reward, thank you for your support~ (End of this chapter)
