Chapter 49 Let’s compete, who’s afraid of who?
Lin Xiaoyue was happy in her heart for less than a minute, but Shopkeeper Wang was acting as if he was going to take it away desperately. She held the pigeon tightly in her arms.
"Shopkeeper Wang, didn't you see the carrier pigeon flying out from behind the screen? This is obviously a gift from the boss. Why don't you let me take it?"
Wang Fugui's mind raced as he made up an excuse, "Miss Muyao, look, this carrier pigeon has a gold ring on its leg. Besides the owner of the house, only the owner's legitimate wife can take it! I'm just kindly reminding you not to take things you shouldn't!"
Lin Xiaoyue lifted up the pigeon and saw that there was indeed a golden ring hanging on its leg, with the word "Liang" engraved on the golden ring.
She read it out in disbelief, "Liang? The boss's surname is Liang?"
The man sat behind the screen, a smile on his face. "Why? Do you know anyone else with the surname Liang? Actually, it's not surprising. There are so many people in the world, it's easy to have someone with the same name."
Lin Xiaoyue felt that what the boss said made sense. If Jueweilou was opened by Liang Jingyao, then wouldn't it be good for him to live comfortably in the capital and count his money? Living in the mountains every day, pretending to be a ghost to scare people, and working the land with his face to the loess and his back to his husband, he didn't look like a big boss at all!
Although Liang Jingyao had some money and a few subordinates, it was nothing compared to the wealth of Jueweilou!
So, Lin Xiaoyue quickly denied her initial guess, "No!"
As she spoke, she took off the golden ring from the pigeon and threw it to Wang Fugui. "Manager Wang, is this okay? I don't want to be a lady. I just want to make money honestly!"
Wang Fugui felt the cold wind on his back. With trembling hands, he carefully caught the golden ring and said through gritted teeth, "To be honest, I also have a carrier pigeon. If Miss Mu Yao doesn't mind, you can take mine!"
Lin Xiaoyue didn't care. She readily placed the carrier pigeon in Wang Fugui's hand and said, "Okay, give me yours!"
Wang Fugui breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to whistle to summon his carrier pigeon, the man came out from behind the screen and shouted angrily, "How dare you disobey your master's orders! Who gave you the courage?"
When Lin Xiaoyue heard the voice, she turned around suddenly and saw a man wearing a silver mask, a royal blue brocade robe and a jade belt. It turned out that this was the owner of Jueweilou!
It's a pity that the mask covered his true face, but with his noble temperament, he didn't look like Brother Liang at all. Fortunately, she didn't say Brother Liang's name just now, otherwise it would be really embarrassing!
But the boss has a bad temper. It's just a carrier pigeon. As long as we can get in touch, it doesn't matter which one we use.
Lin Xiaoyue saw that Wang Fugui was like a bullied wife, not even daring to breathe in front of her boss. This look was really funny!
But how could Manager Wang, who had worked at Jueweilou for so many years, be fired because of such a thing?
Thinking that she would continue to cooperate with Jueweilou in the future, she didn't intend to make the relationship awkward, so she spoke up for Shopkeeper Wang and said, "Boss, this is no big deal. As long as we can get in touch, it's fine. You'd better stop scolding Shopkeeper Wang!"
For the first time, Wang Fugui cast a grateful look at Lin Xiaoyue and said tremblingly, "I, I was right. The master and the mistress used a pair of carrier pigeons. How could you just give away carrier pigeons that represent your status?"
The man snatched the carrier pigeon from Wang Fugui's hand and fastened the golden ring back onto the pigeon's leg. "Miss Muyao, Fugui's nonsense, don't take it seriously! I gave you the carrier pigeon for selfish reasons. Our chefs at Jueweilou are all excellent in knife skills and cooking, but they lack the ability to develop new products. I believe that Miss Muyao can make such a delicious Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and she must have many other specialties! This pigeon is my sincere token of my sincerity!"
Lin Xiaoyue looked at the carrier pigeon that had returned to her hands and cursed in her heart, "Old ginger is still the best!" But she couldn't do it even if she was obsessed with it and wanted her to continue sending new products with just a pigeon!
"Thank you for your trust, boss, but if I want to continue developing new products for Jueweilou, I have conditions!"
The man nodded and asked, "Any conditions are fine, just tell me!"
Lin Xiaoyue's eyes rolled. Although she could hide the carrier pigeon in the space for a while, as long as she used the carrier pigeon, her whereabouts would be immediately exposed, so she urgently needed a vest!
Let’s first see how sincere the boss is!
She asked back with a smile: "Then what about your Juweilou?"
Wang Fugui was completely shocked when he heard this. Was this girl here to pick a fight? Jueweilou was founded by the owner. It wasn't just a restaurant that made money, it was also a great place to gather intelligence!
"Boss, you can't agree to her! If the master finds out, he won't let Miss Mu Yao go. You're harming her!"
The man glared at Wang Fugui and pushed him into a corner. "What's your business? Get out!"
Wang Fugui fell to the ground and looked at the man with a look of disappointment. The boss has been a bachelor for thirty years, and now he has finally blossomed. Is he stupid?
"Boss, don't do anything stupid!"
The man ignored him and used his body to block Wang Fugui. He smiled and said to Lin Xiaoyue, "Sure! Do you want the one in Beijing, or another branch? Or do you want all of them?"
Lin Xiaoyue is not that stupid, she still wants to leave Jueweilou alive!
"Boss, I was just joking with you! But if you can open a restaurant in Yangming Town and let me be the shopkeeper, and I'll take 50% of the restaurant's monthly profits, then I can agree to your request!"
Wang Fugui heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Lin Xiaoyue's words. But this girl was too bold! Just based on a dish called Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, she wanted to become the owner of Juweilou and take such a huge commission. Didn't she know how much she weighed?
Thinking of this, Wang Fugui endured the pain in his buttocks and got up from the ground. He limped to the man and suggested, "Boss! With Miss Mu Yao's cooking skills, she has no problem being the head chef of Jueweilou, but she is not suitable to be the shopkeeper!"
Almost at the same time, Lin Xiaoyue and the man looked at Wang Fugui in unison, "Why is it inappropriate?"
Wang Fugui cursed inwardly: Damn! He's gone out so quickly, how can he manage all the branches of Juweilou in the future? At this rate, Miss Mu Yao will step on his head sooner or later!
He held his breath and said, "A shopkeeper's job is more than just designing dishes! First, he has to be able to interact with people and handle emergencies in the restaurant. Secondly, he has to remember the faces and names of dignitaries. Finally, he has to keep a clear track of all incoming and outgoing accounts. Not everyone can do arithmetic!"
Lin Xiaoyue curled her lips. Arithmetic? She was a genius scientist before she traveled through time. Not only the multiplication table, but even advanced mathematics could not stump her!
She is sure to be the shopkeeper!
"Shopkeeper Wang, you're right! But I'm confident I can calculate faster than you. Do you want to compete with me?"
Wang Fugui's competitive spirit was aroused. "Let's compete. Who's afraid of who?"
He stretched his neck and had a flushed face, looking like an excited fighting cock.
