"Zhang Yaoyao, please stand aside. This plate is too hot right out of the steamer. Let me do it. I won't hurt you!"
As he spoke, Lu Sinian had already reached out and gently pushed Zhang Yaoyao aside. He placed a rag on the edge of the plate, picked up the plate with one hand, and swiftly brought it to the dining table.
Only Ma Kaixuan was left holding a rag, watching Lu Sinian's back as he walked away with a plate of garlic shrimps, and cursed him fiercely in his heart.
"Fuck, isn't serving hot plates to girls my specialty? Is Lu Sinian out of his mind today? Why is he stealing my lines and my work?"
Ma Kaixuan was depressed. His job of showing off was taken away by someone else, so he could only stay close to Zhang Yaoyao and watch her continue to cook the next dish.
After all the food was served, Lu Sinian silently glanced at the food on the table. There were spicy blue crabs, baked mantis shrimps, garlic prawns, fried Harry, steamed turbot, clams and vegetable soup, stir-fried horse mackerel, a dish of fried bacon, and the staple food was rice.
I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows, thinking, what kind of day is this? There are so many dishes, could it be a good thing?
As for Ma Kaixuan, he didn't care about all that. Looking at the table full of delicious food, he was so greedy that he could hardly hold back his saliva and kept praising.
"Wow! The dishes tonight are so rich, especially the seafood, they are cooked so well. Just looking at them, I think I can eat the whole table."
A Yue and Zhang Yaoyao looked at each other speechlessly and started to move stools. Originally, there were five stools in front of the table for four people. Lu Sinian subconsciously raised his eyebrows and asked.
"What is this? Is anyone else coming to dinner?"
There were five chairs for four people to eat, so it was obvious that someone hadn't arrived yet.
Sure enough, his guess was right. Tonight, Zhang Yaoyao specially invited others to a banquet.
Zhang Yaoyao looked at the remaining chair, then looked at the street outside, and turned back to answer.
"Yes, there is another friend who made a sumptuous dinner tonight to celebrate Ah Yue's joining the company. However, I didn't expect to run into Principal Xiao while buying groceries. He saw me buying so much seafood and casually said he would come over for dinner tonight, so I agreed."
Anyway, she had promised Xiao Zifeng that she still owed him a meal, so it was just right to settle it tonight, so as to save herself the trouble of treating others later.
After listening to this, Lu Sinian said thoughtfully.
"Oh, it turns out that Xiao Zifeng is coming. Isn't he your big group buying client? He should be treated to a good banquet!"
Zhang Yaoyao: “…”
Why does it feel like Lu Sinian looks unhappy when I'm treating Xiao Zifeng to a banquet? He doesn't have to spend any money, so why would he be unhappy?
Of course Lu Sinian was unhappy. He knew that Xiao Zifeng had bad intentions towards Zhang Yaoyao. He was so shameless that he came to eat with her when she was buying vegetables. It was obvious that this guy wanted to pursue Zhang Yaoyao. As a man, Lu Sinian was very familiar with Xiao Zifeng's tricks.
He didn't realize that Xiao Zifeng was quite resourceful, like a sticky candy. After meeting Zhang Yaoyao only once or twice, he had already fallen deeply in love with her.
On the contrary, Ma Kaixuan's focus was not on Xiao Zifeng's desire to eat for free. For him, as long as Zhang Yaoyao made delicious food and there was food to eat, it was enough. As for who came to eat for free, it was none of his business.
Ma Kaixuan's focus was on another matter, so he spoke directly.
"Welcome Ah Yue to the company. Where is she starting? Zhang Yaoyao, didn't you say your friend would be staying with you for a while? Why are you having a welcome ceremony again?"
Could it be that Ah Yue is going to join Zhang Yaoyao's small shop?
Just as the idea popped into his mind, he saw Zhang Yaoyao pointing to her own shop and said cheerfully.
"Of course, I'm going to join our New Vision Clothing Store!"
Ma Kaixuan: “…”
Oh my God, it’s just joining a small store, what’s there to brag about? Why do we have to hold an induction ceremony? Isn’t Zhang Yaoyao being too nice to A Yue?
God knows his sales this month. If they don't go up, he'll probably be kicked off the board. Why doesn't Zhang Yaoyao pay attention to him? If she doesn't pay attention to him, he might be out of a job and won't even be able to pay for food next month.
Thinking of this, a sense of frustration flashed through Ma Kaixuan's heart. He looked at Zhang Yaoyao and protested weakly.
"Zhang Yaoyao, if you don't help me, I'll be unemployed next month and won't even be able to pay for your food. Would you consider helping me?"
Zhang Yaoyao laughed out loud at Ma Kaixuan's words and spoke frankly.
"Master Ma, the place where you work is your family's business, right? Who would dare to make you unemployed without your father's permission? You're being a bit serious. The reason I held a welcome ceremony for Ah Yue is because Ah Yue is about to become a sales expert at our New Vision Clothing Store. As the boss, I should at least show some appreciation!"
She can organize a welcome ceremony for A Yue, but she can't give advice to Ma Kaixuan. After all, Ma Kaixuan's is a family business, and the waters are very deep. Zhang Yaoyao is just a small boss now, and she has no right to interfere in other people's family businesses.
In short, Ma Kaixuan has to solve his current difficulties by himself, no one else can help.
Ma Kaixuan also understood the meaning of Zhang Yaoyao's words and said with a sad face.
"You can't say that, Zhang Yaoyao. You can't come to our company to help. Can't you give me some suggestions or advice to help me improve the market sales rate?"
God knows, ever since he reduced the price of his products last time and Zhang Yaoyao turned the tables on him, the sales of all the specialty stores under their company's name have been plummeting and have not recovered yet.
He just hoped that Zhang Yaoyao would give him some advice to help him increase his market sales rate even though they couldn't cooperate for the time being because he always made his presence known in front of her.
Zhang Yaoyao looked at the dejected Ma Kaixuan, held her forehead helplessly, and could only say helplessly.
"Okay, Ma Kaixuan, since you're acting weak in front of me every day, I'll show you a way out."
Hearing these words, Ma Kaixuan was like a fish out of water, lacking oxygen and about to die, but was put back into the water. He immediately sat up in high spirits, delighted and happy.
"What's the bright path? Zhang Yaoyao, tell me quickly."
"After you go back, you bundle your products and sell them together. For example, before, leather jackets and leather shoes were sold separately, but now after you go back, you add the cost price of the leather shoes to the leather jacket, and buy a leather jacket and get the leather shoes for free. And you advertise it blatantly and loudly, saying buy one get one free."
Having said that, Ma Kaixuan's eyes were full of stars, and he looked at Zhang Yaoyao with admiration.
