“I…” Tian Xiu looked up and glanced at the smudged surface of the table, unconsciously clenching her fists.
Seeing Tian Xiu's helpless expression, Le Jian smiled contemptuously: "Don't forget, all the business in this shop was brought in by me."
Tian Xiu closed her eyes briefly, trying to calm herself. "It's true that you recruited them, but it's also because of you that none of those ladies and young women are coming anymore."
He was pleased to see Chao Tian roll his eyes, oblivious to his own fault, and repeat his earlier words, "Hmph, who else are you but the boss?"
Tian Xiu: "Our business this month is not as good as before. If the boss comes, how should we explain it?"
I'd love to hear: "That's your problem. You're not the boss. Just let things slide and don't keep harping on people all the time."
Tian Xiu: "..."
Yes, she is neither the employer nor one of the employer's employees; her relationship with the employer is purely one of employment.
Although the master was strict, he never criticized his servants and was a rare good master.
If the owner comes and sees the shop's increasingly bleak business, he might fire her in a fit of anger, and then she would really... have no way to make a living.
Now, she has worked at this wonton shop for a year and has developed feelings for everything here, so she really doesn't want to leave.
Apart from Le Wen and Zhu Silang, the other workers, enjoying the instigation, all displayed a lax attitude, which she found unbearable.
To put it bluntly, these workers don't respect her.
In order to survive, she had to demonstrate her authority and not let Lejian bully her like this.
Tian Xiuli stared at the restless Lejian, who was always the one who started trouble.
They're taking advantage of her young age and her inability to handle things.
"Yes, it's my problem if the wonton shop isn't doing well. But you're a servant the owner paid to hire. Ask yourself honestly, does the shop's business have absolutely nothing to do with you?"
"Do you think you can just take the employer's pay and be so irresponsible?"
He scoffed, "Hmph, don't forget, you're just someone hired by the master. At best, you're not even as good as us servants."
"We're all the boss's people, who are you to talk to us?"
Tian Xiu steadied her breathing. She had finally managed to live a decent life, and she absolutely could not lose this job.
Ever since her wicked mother died, her father has blamed her for everything, constantly beating and scolding her.
Now, her father has remarried.
Because her stepmother disliked her, she was ruthlessly driven out of the house.
The good thing is that because of what happened last time, her father didn't force her into a marriage.
Therefore, she is now completely alone.
She lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Since the owner has entrusted me with managing the wonton shop, then you all must listen to me."
I'd love to hear: "Listen to you? On what grounds?"
"Just because I'm also one of the owners."
Tian Xiu's words drew laughter from the crowd, especially from the one who was pleased to hear them:
“Miss Tian Xiu, we are all working for the master and just getting by. Why make yourself so tired?”
It's not that we're being lazy and not doing our jobs; it's just that your demands are far too harsh.
The employer isn't here, so could you please be lenient sometimes? It would make things easier for you, and it would make things easier for us too, wouldn't it?
He was pleased to hear this, and the other workers all echoed his sentiments.
Tian Xiu's demands, it should be said, were a fulfillment of her duties.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been given such an important position by Qiu Yan.
"I'm glad to see that, because you're one of the boss's people, I've been putting up with you."
But, put your hand on your heart and think about it carefully. Has the mistress ever wronged you in the slightest? On the contrary, she respects us servants very much.
