Chapter 405: Nothing But Mercenary
After receiving the message, Zhao Xiaojing immediately explained it in the store group and privately chatted with Yun Yongyuan to assign him homework.
Yun Yongyuan has been learning kitchen management from Zhao Xiaojing recently, and has made quite some progress. However, Zhao Xiaojing has Xiaozhi and herself, so she hasn't trained him alone. But tomorrow will be the time.
Zhao Xiaojing directly instructed Yun Yongyuan to arrange the food preparation schedule for tomorrow and asked him to hand it over directly to Hou Guihua.
"??? Isn't it Junior Sister? We didn't get any business done today because it was raining. If my arrangements don't work out, won't we lose another day tomorrow?"
"How about I write a try and you correct me if I'm wrong?"
"I'll write it now! Don't just give it to me!"
Yun Yongyuan sent three messages in a row. Zhao Xiaojing could feel his nervousness even through the screen.
"I believe in you, keep going. I have something else to do, so you can just report it to Sister Hou directly." Zhao Xiaojing gave up the task immediately.
Yun Yongyuan is as cautious in his work as he is in cooking. Even if he does his best, he can only guarantee a 60% success. If I don't hand over the responsibility to him directly, maybe when I arrive in Tuancheng, I will have to listen to his reports every day and worry about things in the store that he can decide on his own.
So the right solution is to give him a chance to practice now.
Zhao Xiaojing directly blocked Yun Yongyuan's messages and calls.
"System, enter..."
"I want to ride my broken horse and cut my long hair~~"
The phone rang, and the fried double crispy course was interrupted x 3.
How could he still call in? Didn't I just block him?
Zhao Xiaojing subconsciously thought it was Yun Yongyuan, turned her head and was about to reject the call directly, but when she saw it was Zhou Chuyan, she quickly picked up the phone again.
"Xiao Jing, let me talk to you first." As soon as the phone was connected, Zhou Chuyan's mysterious and low voice was heard.
"What?"
"I think my uncle and aunt are going to try to contact you during this time!"
"Me? Why?" Zhao Xiaojing asked curiously.
"Didn't you ask my mom to take my uncle for a checkup last time? He was reluctant at first, but my mom dragged him in today. As soon as we got to the hospital, he suddenly felt a backache and kept saying there were needles sticking in his back. The doctor told him not to move and called for a stretcher to take him into the operating room. They checked and found he had an acute myocardial infarction and some complications!"
"Is he saved?" Zhao Xiaojing was slightly surprised. She only remembered that it was around this time, but she didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that she caught up with him during the physical examination.
"How did you know? You're amazing!" Zhou Chuyan exclaimed, then hurriedly lowered her voice. "My mother was scared to death. As soon as she entered the operating room, she was told she needed a stent. Luckily, they told her just in time, and she's awake now."
"I guess. If you can call me in that tone, then everything must be fine." Zhao Xiaojing smiled. "Then why did you contact me?"
"Uh, it's all my fault for being too talkative... I just can't stand his cowardly look..."
"Um?"
"I told you not to be angry. But it's normal for you to be angry." Zhou Chuyan hesitated.
"Tell me about it, then I'll know if I'm angry or not."
"When I came to the hospital, he was already awake. My aunt was there too, and she kept thanking my mom. My mom said that it was because of you that she remembered to take my uncle for a checkup, and that she should thank you. But the couple acted as if they didn't hear anything, and didn't ask about you at all. They just changed the subject and started thanking my mom again after a while, completely ignoring you. My mom was also angry, but she didn't say anything. She just told me to leave. But when I was leaving, my aunt brought it up again, saying that she would call my mom for dinner after he was discharged.
I couldn't help it at the time! I started to tease her, saying that some people had their lives saved by others and didn't even get a word of concern, and I didn't know what they were afraid of. Others now have several stores, so what can I expect from their families? Do I want him to treat me to a meal?
"Pfft!" Zhao Xiaojing couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Sister Yanyan, you're still so hateful and resentful. If you talk like that, Third Aunt will punish you again, right?"
"No, she was upset too, so she glared at me and tried to drag me away. But when the two heard that, they stopped pretending to be dead and started asking me what I meant. They asked if I was talking about how many stores Xiaojing had opened now and what kind of stores they were. My mom said it was restaurants and they were even on TV. Then they started saying they wanted to thank you, saying it was all thanks to your uncle that he saved my life. You have no idea, my mom's face turned green when she heard that."
"Oh, so you are still in the hospital now?" Zhao Xiaojing asked.
"Well, my mom was furious back then. She said if you hadn't just had surgery, I would have scolded you to death. Now that you've survived, I don't bother to pay attention to you. They're acting pitiful again, and now they're pulling my mom to cry! I ran away because I couldn't bear to listen to their nagging."
"Third Auntie, you missed your physical examination today, right? Remember to make it up next time and have a thorough checkup."
Zhao Xiaojing had no feelings for her uncle and aunt. Even if she had not asked for a physical examination in the previous life, her uncle's life would have been saved. She reminded Dong Mei to take him there simply because he was in the hospital and Dong Mei was busy all the time. She just didn't want Dong Mei to work hard.
"That's right, my mother also said that I should get a physical examination right away. Aren't you angry?" Zhou Chuyan asked curiously.
"I'm not angry. What does it have to do with me?" Zhao Xiaojing smiled faintly. "I haven't considered him a relative for a long time. For so many years, my third aunt has asked me to have dinner with her during the New Year, but when have I ever gone?"
"I know that, but I was thinking that you specifically told me that. No matter what, you meant well. Besides, it was such a dangerous situation. Without your words, he might have died. And yet, they just ignored your kindness!"
"You said Third Aunt couldn't move half of her body, so I asked her to go get checked out. Then I remembered they seemed to have a family history of the disease, so I just casually brought him along. He never hurt me anyway. He just wanted to get involved with me because he was afraid I was poor. Now that he sees I'm better, he's looking for me. He's just being mercenary. There's no need to be angry. It's normal for people to have low aspirations when they're poor. I won't pay any attention to him anyway."
"You're quite open-minded! But don't be too open-minded. If you don't even look for a boyfriend by then, my mom will still be wondering if you've found a suitable one in Jiangcheng!"
"Hey, did my third uncle's family look for my third aunt again later?" Zhao Xiaojing felt a headache when she heard this topic and quickly diverted Zhou Chuyan's attention.
The topic change was a bit abrupt, but it still managed to keep Zhou Chuyan silent for a while.
"They did. Every two days they went to wait for my mom at her workplace. Every time they did, they cried and cursed. My mom was so annoyed that she took annual leave. After a few days without waiting, they came home again, and my mom called the police again. Anyway, there was no way I was going to give them the money. My mom was also very hurt this time. She pointed at my grandparents and cursed them out. She hasn't been coming as often this week." Zhou Chuyan sighed, "Okay, I'll go see if they've finished talking, and then I'll tell you."
