Jiang Ning occasionally eats Huaiyang cuisine, but the taste is really not good.
Jiaojiao asked the waiter if the chef had changed. It didn't make sense that a place recommended by so many people would suddenly taste different.
"How did you know? Our owner is sick, and her daughter is running the restaurant. The first thing she did was fire the old head chef. They've only had him for two days, and business has already taken a hit," the waiter complained in a low voice.
The chef used to cost 3,000 yuan a month and was incredibly skilled; now, the one is said to cost only a little over 1,000 yuan.
Unexpectedly, even though she spoke very softly, Jiang Rou, who was in the kitchen, still heard her.
She rushed out and slapped the waiter across the face.
"You shameless bastard, you're so foul-mouthed! If you didn't speak, no one would think you were mute!"
The waiter stared at her in horror, then, regaining his composure, pounced on her.
"I've never been slapped in the face before! Who do you think you are! If your mother hadn't left you this restaurant, would you have been able to find work after you got out of here? Who do you think you are! You think you can control me like a slave for a few hundred yuan a month! I'm done."
The little girl also had a fiery temper; she grabbed Jiang Rou's hair and played with her like a dead dog.
Jiang Rou suffered greatly during her time in prison, becoming emaciated and aged, making her extremely vulnerable.
She also thought that people who started working in this era were just like people in the past, easily threatened by money.
At this point, as long as young people aren't lazy or greedy, finding a job shouldn't be too difficult. Since they can't make it at this restaurant, they might as well find another one.
"If you don't work here, what kind of job can you find outside?" Jiang Rou was still stubborn.
Jiaojiao, who had been sitting there observing coldly, smiled and said to the waiter:
"Miss, aren't you skillful? I'm looking for a group of garment workers. The salary is 1,500 yuan a month, including room and board and free training. I wonder if you'd be interested?"
The waiter released Jiang Rou, then immediately smiled and nodded at Jiao Jiao: "I do."
Only a fool would refuse.
Earning 1,500 yuan at this time is quite a lot, especially with room and board included and free training. Garment workers require much more skill than waiters.
Seeing that she agreed, Jiaojiao handed her a business card:
"Call the mobile phone number on this business card and say that it was arranged by General Manager Lin. Someone will help you with the onboarding process."
The waiter took the business card, immediately gave Jiang Rou a hard time, and left for the day.
Seeing that the food here didn't suit her taste, Jiang Ning stood up and told Jiao Jiao to get up as well.
Jiang Rou then turned her gaze to them, and said sarcastically:
"You just poached my employee, and you think you can just leave like this?"
To be honest, when Jiang Rou first saw Jiang Ning, she could hardly recognize her.
She now looks more prosperous than before, clearly having lived a life of luxury for many years without changing her appearance at all.
Looking at myself, I'm only forty years old, but my face is sallow and full of wrinkles. People would think I'm an old lady over sixty.
This world is so unfair! Why is it that Jiang Ning has both a son and a daughter, is incredibly wealthy, and can still stay young and beautiful, while I have nothing!
She was so unwilling to accept it!
When Jiaojiao saw that she had been stopped, she revealed a domineering expression:
"Grandma, are you out of your mind? It's not like you two were arguing and you kicked her out. Since you don't want her, what's wrong with me letting her work in the factory?"
Do you know what's most important in the 21st century? It's talent!
Truly capable people never have trouble finding work. Even if I hadn't offered her a job today, with that woman's courage, finding a better job would have been a piece of cake.
Grandma, you can't judge people with old eyes anymore; the world has changed!
Jiang Rou was furious. She was old enough to be lectured by a little girl.
She keeps calling herself grandma, even though they're from different generations.
"Where did you come from, you brat? Jiang Ning, is this the kind of daughter you raised?"
She roared, her eyes bloodshot.
Jiang Ning chuckled, "Little sister, don't be so angry. When you get angry, you really are no different from an old lady! I'm in a good mood today, so I won't hold it against you. Jiaojiao, let's go."
Given her current status, it would be beneath her to compete with a restaurant owner.
After being reminded by her mother, Jiao Jiao finally recognized that the person in front of her was Jiang Rou.
"Oh my god, I feel like I need to wash my eyes. Will I go blind if I see something dirty?" After growing up, Jiao Jiao heard a lot about Jiang Rou, so she naturally couldn't like her.
Jiang Rou clutched her chest and gasped for breath: "You've gone too far! I'm calling the police and telling them you dined and dashed."
Jiang Ning chuckled: "With our status, it's an honor for you to dine at your restaurant. Why would we need to dine and dash?"
“Okay, this meal costs two thousand yuan. Pay the bill before you leave.” Jiang Rou held out her hand.
Jiang Ning remained calm and reached into her pocket.
Jiang Rou thought she was going to pay, but instead she pulled out a mobile phone.
"Hello, Director Sun, I'd like to consult you about the pricing of our dishes..."
Jiang Ning directly called the director of the Price Bureau.
Jiang Rou was stunned. Before Jiang Ning could finish speaking, she quickly grabbed the phone and hung up.
"Alright, you guys are great, now go!" Jiang Rou handed the mobile phone back to Jiang Ning.
Even if she's arrogant and domineering, she knows the weight of this phone call.
Jiang Ning is no longer someone she can afford to offend.
"I've called you 'sister' for so many years, please let me off this time. My mother is in poor health and needs to be hospitalized, and we need money every month. My younger brother is also irresponsible and only knows how to gamble all day long. This restaurant is all I have left..." You said it with tears streaming down your face, almost kneeling down.
The more arrogant they were just now, the more humble they are now.
Her knees weren't worth much, and Jiang Ning didn't want to waste time with her, so she left with Jiao Jiao.
On the way back, Jiang Ning suddenly had an idea: with Jiao Jiao's personality, she would be a good choice to manage the group in the future.
She decided to intentionally train her in management skills in the future.
After they left, Jiang Rou's restaurant had few customers, so she simply closed early.
When she got home, she ran into Lu Ming, who was drunk.
Upon seeing her, Lu Ming immediately begged her for money like a lapdog.
"Sister, give me another thousand yuan. I have a business opportunity. Pay a thousand yuan and I can get three thousand back in a month."
Jiang Rou had seen plenty of scammers in prison; they used similar tricks to swindle money from people. It was astonishing that Lu Ming would believe in such a windfall.
"Where's the money I gave you yesterday? I gave you a thousand yesterday, and you've lost it all in just a short time?" Jiang Rou was furious.
She works herself to the bone every day, while he only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun.
