Qin Chen apologized to the diners before rushing over. Looking at the embarrassed looks of the three women, he didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment.
He was not a bad-tempered person, and things like opening a store were inevitable, so he sighed and asked.
"Why are you fighting?" The tone was very much like that of my homeroom teacher in school.
Xiaoyu stood trembling at the door of Qin Chen's office. Qin Chen asked her to come in and tell him what she saw.
"Sister Wan Qing asked me to cover for her for a while, but she was gone for over two hours. The manager didn't see me in the lobby, so even if I was absent from work, Sister Xiaowan and Sister Manzhen stood up for me, so..."
Qin Chen nodded and looked at Wan Qing. Wan Qing had a stubborn expression and stared at Qin Chen intently, as if she would die if he said anything to her today. Qin Chen touched his nose and blamed himself for not taking care of his lower body.
"We will issue a regulation in the future that if someone covers for more than half an hour, they will be paid according to the hourly wage."
Qin Chen's words were obviously meant to help Wan Qing, and Xue Xiaowan's eyes suddenly turned red.
"Boss, Wan Qing was the first to hit me. No matter what, it's wrong to hit him first. How am I supposed to go to work tomorrow with my face like this? You can't just ignore me." Xue Xiaowan's aggrieved crying tone made her voice even more pitiful.
Qin Chen nodded. "Wan Qing, you've lost your bonus this month, and you have to compensate Xue Xiaowan for her lost wages. Do you have any objections?"
Wan Qing sneered, "No."
"Okay, that's settled then, everyone get out."
Qin Chen turned his back to them and rubbed his temples. Damn, there are more troubles when there are more women.
Wan Qing gritted her teeth, went to the bathroom to tidy herself up, and returned to her original position to work. She told herself in her heart to remember these humiliating moments, because she would have to pay them back later.
On Christmas Day, which was also a Saturday, Lin Sui woke up very early because he went to bed early last night. People who don’t have a nightlife have a healthy schedule.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the aunt Zhou Dang had called arrived promptly and prepared a healthy breakfast of sandwiches and freshly squeezed orange juice. Then, knowing she'd wanted hot pot, she prepared a slightly spicy hot pot base, washed the vegetables, and placed them on a plate. Lin Sui sat cross-legged on the sofa, watching the aunt bustling about. The smallness of the room contrasted sharply with her frantic activity.
Lin Sui thought to herself, I don’t know what her aunt thinks of her. She probably thinks she is Zhou Dang’s mistress. It’s hard for her to be pregnant and live in such a shabby place.
"Ms. Lin, I'll leave first and come back in the evening." Aunt said to Lin Sui with a smile.
"Oh, no thanks. I'm going out to eat with my friends tonight." Lin Sui lied.
"Oh, okay." Auntie left.
Lin Sui looked at the large table of hot pot side dishes. She probably didn't need to eat dinner after finishing all of them. She sighed, turned around and went back to sleep. Pregnancy made her sleepy.
She slept until three in the afternoon. When she woke up, she was so hungry that she moved the hot pot to the coffee table and started to cook. Remembering that Feng Tian should be at home at this time, she went downstairs and knocked on the door. Sure enough, it was Feng Tian who opened the door.
"Come to my sister's house for hot pot."
Feng Tian sighed, took the key and followed Lin Sui upstairs.
Entering Lin Sui's house, Feng Tian was a little surprised to see the coffee table full of dishes. "Sister, why did you buy so much?"
"Eat as much as you want, and you are not allowed to go home until you finish eating."
Lin Sui and Feng Tian sat on the street stall around the coffee table, watching TV and eating hot pot.
"Sister, where did you buy this hot pot base? It's quite delicious and not spicy." Feng Tian ate in a bold and appetizing manner. Lin Sui liked to eat with people like him.
"My aunt fried it." Lin Sui said casually.
"You still have an aunt, sister?" Feng Tian was quite surprised.
"My ex-husband found it." Lin Sui said casually.
"Ahem..." Feng Tian choked, "Sister, what about your ex-husband?"
"Hmm." Lin Sui shrugged. "I have children, don't you know that?"
Feng Tian coughed until his face flushed red. He nodded, then shook his head and sighed, "Sister, you have so much experience."
Lin Sui laughed to death and changed the topic to Feng Tian, "How are you and Wan Qing doing lately?"
"It's pretty good, except that she changed jobs and became a waitress at a hot pot restaurant. That hot pot restaurant is quite popular, so she's quite exhausted."
Lin Sui's heart skipped a beat. "Hot pot restaurant? Is it the one over at Vientiane City?"
"Yeah, you know that, sister. That restaurant is a definite internet celebrity and has become the number one hotpot restaurant in Jiangbei City."
Lin Sui sneered, "That's owned by my ex-boyfriend."
Feng Tian was surprised again, "Really? What a coincidence?"
Lin Sui squinted her eyes and looked at Feng Tian. Sometimes she felt that Feng Tian was a little too naive.
"Your girlfriend is not a good person. My ex-boyfriend met her when he came to see me, and he took her to a hot pot restaurant for an interview the next day."
Feng Tian was a little confused, but his attitude was still very clear, and he put down his chopsticks.
"Sister, don't say that about Wan Qing. She went there to work so that she could marry me sooner."
Lin Sui smiled, "Do you believe what she said?"
"I believe her." Feng Tian stood up in a serious tone, "Sister, thank you for your hospitality. I'm leaving now."
Feng Tian was angry, Lin Sui knew it. He was still gentle when he closed the door, but the expression on his face was resolute.
Lin Sui sighed and had no appetite. She got up and lay on the sofa. She was quite envious of Wan Qing for having such a silly and infatuated boy who devoted himself to her wholeheartedly.
What could be more pitiful than her? Lying alone on the sofa in her rental apartment on Christmas Eve, with leftovers on the coffee table and a mindless TV show playing.
Wen Yue was currently choosing a dress for tonight's party. The villa had a fireplace and floor heating, and it was as warm as spring. She could wear any short dress she wanted. She chose a silver tassel dress with sequins, paired with a white fox fur shawl. She tied her hair up and wore a small crown on her head, looking incredibly cute.
"How is it?" Wen Yue turned around in front of Zhou Dang.
"Perfect." Zhou Dang leaned against the door of the cloakroom with a glass of champagne in his hand. The party downstairs was about to start and some guests had already arrived early.
Wen Yue looked at Zhou Dang, who was wearing an ordinary shirt and trousers. Wen Yue stepped forward and put a rose-shaped diamond brooch on Zhou Dang's chest, which looked sparkling against the black shirt.
"This way, you and I are a perfect match." Wen Yue smiled and stood on tiptoe, giving Zhou Dang a wet kiss on his cold lips.
