Li Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Aunt Dashan, you have a lot of things to do at home. How about this, I'll take care of Li Laosan. I'll be going now!"
Seeing that Li Zheng said this, Liang Shuyan didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
Zhang's voice came from the Jinzhou Restaurant: "Sanwang, go and prepare the ingredients for this morning!"
Sanwang nodded and was about to leave when Chunhua followed him: "Sister-in-law, I've already written down all the ingredients!"
Zhang glanced at Chunyan and asked in surprise, "Chunyan, how do you know what ingredients are often used?"
A middle-aged man walked into the hall, glanced at Chunyan, and said, "Before, Chunyan worked in the restaurant with Manager Xiao. Now, the one who knows the most about what's going on in the restaurant is naturally Chunhua!"
Zhang knew that Chunhua had been sent back by her mother-in-law because of the last incident. Although she had her mother-in-law's consent to come this time, she still didn't want Chunhua to do important things in the restaurant, even though her mother-in-law hadn't said anything yet. As her daughter-in-law, she didn't want to let her mother-in-law have business.
"By the way, Chunyan, you don't need to worry about these things at the restaurant anymore. Once Sanwang is familiar with the restaurant's procedures, everything will be fine."
Chunyan realized that Zhang was preventing her from getting involved in important matters at the restaurant. Although she didn't say anything, she had her own thoughts. At this moment, she gathered all the restaurant's waiters together and they were gossiping.
"Isn't this inappropriate? Even though Manager Xiao has left, we can't gossip here in broad daylight. If Ruyan sees us, we'll get scolded!"
The speaker was Ziyun, a new girl at the restaurant. Chunyan shook her head and snorted, "Don't worry, I'm sitting right here. What are you afraid of? Ruyan isn't Sanwang's wife yet. Without marriage, she's nothing. In terms of closeness, I'm Ruren's niece!"
Several employees felt that Chunyan's words made some sense, and then nodded: "Yes, that's right. Ruyan is not yet Sanwang's wife, so what she says doesn't count. Why should we listen to her!"
Just then, Ruyan walked over, pointed at them, and said, "Why are you still sitting there gossiping? Hurry up and come over and clear the table of dishes and chopsticks. What if someone comes?"
"Why should we listen to you? Your niece is sitting right here. Why should we listen to you? Seriously, who do you think you are?"
"If you ask me, if Sanwang really becomes the manager of the restaurant, it's questionable whether she'll still be needed."
······
Enraged, Ruyan turned and ran out, while Chunyan, sitting to the side, smiled smugly at everything before her.
Zhang, hiding to the side, saw the whole scene clearly. Her heart sank: "It seems that my mother-in-law was right. This Chunyan really is ambitious, but she can't do anything big!"
The usually silent Zhang Shi walked towards the group. The two employees, who were feeling smug, glanced at Zhang Shi and lowered their heads, saying, "Sister-in-law!"
"You two can leave now. I want to see who dares to cause trouble in the restaurant! Ruyan is already engaged to Sanwang, meaning she's Sanwang's wife. How dare you all humiliate her? Let me tell you, even if Ruyan isn't Sanwang's wife, she's still our sister!"
Upon hearing that the two girls had been kicked out of the restaurant, Chunyan was so frightened that she dared not utter a word.
"Sister-in-law, please don't send us away. We had no choice. It was Chunyan who stirred things up. Otherwise, why would we have thought of such a thing?"
Zhang didn't know what to do. She never expected that the two girls would bite Chunyan out at the crucial moment.
Chunyan pretended to be furious: "How could you say such a thing? What does this have to do with me?"
"Chunyan, you yourself clearly said that you are Madam Ru's own niece. What is Ruyan?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang said with a stern face, "Chunyan, you go out with them. The restaurant doesn't want people like you. Leave now!"
Liang Shuyan said that as long as she wasn't at the restaurant, Zhang had the right to do so. Chunyan stepped forward and grabbed Zhang: "Sister-in-law, you can't do this! My aunt called me back. How can you let me leave like this?"
"What's wrong? I called you back because of your loyalty, but I didn't expect you to be stirring up trouble for me in the restaurant. What, you're not even listening to the head chef anymore?"
Chunyan looked up and saw Liang Shuyan standing in front of her. Her body trembled slightly: "Auntie, Chunyan knows she was wrong. Please, don't send me away. I just feel that Brother Sanwang is not familiar with the restaurant's affairs yet. After all, I am more familiar with it than Brother Sanwang. I should come and help Brother Sanwang handle these matters. Why should Ruyan do this? She doesn't know anything."
Liang Shuyan said calmly, "You want to know why? Fine, I'll tell you now. Ruyan is my daughter-in-law, the future owner of Jinzhou Restaurant. And you? You'll always just be a lowly waitress. Do you understand?"
Chunyan's name was like thunder in her ears. Upon hearing these words, her body trembled violently. She knew that her so-called aunt was indeed different from before. She had become a lady of leisure, and her words were set in stone. Compared to Ruyan, she would always just be a lowly waitress!
"Chunyan remembers, Auntie, please, don't let Chunyan leave. Chunyan knows she was wrong!"
Liang Shuyan glanced at Chunyan and said coldly, "Fine, since you know, then apologize to Ruyan!"
Chunyan hesitated, unsure of what to say. She glanced tentatively at Liang Shuyan and said, "Auntie, I... I can't say it. Anyway, Ruyan and my brother Sanwang aren't married yet, so let's just let this matter go!"
"Shut up! Who's your aunt! Remember, I'm the restaurant owner, and you're a waiter. I have the right to decide whether you stay or leave!"
This time, Liang Shuyan was completely angry. Seeing this, Chunyan could only say, "Sister Ruyan, please don't be angry. I... I was just worried that you would take my place, so... that's why I let them bully you!"
Liang Shuyan was furious that Chunyan would cause trouble in the restaurant and gang up on Ruyan. She said, "What is your position in the restaurant? Starting today, you are responsible for the cleanliness of the restaurant floor and the entrance. If you don't do it well, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Sanwang returned and saw Ruyan with red eyes, so he quickly put down the basket and came over: "Ruyan, what's wrong? Were you bullied?"
Ruyan remained silent, while Liang Shuyan glanced at Chunyan from the side and asked, "What are you still standing here for?"
