Sister Xi's sword is as sharp as ever.
"Manager Yang" is just Sister Xi's job, not her everything. Deep down, Yang Xi is still that protective sister leader.
The first sword that Sister Xi swung didn't hit the person who bullied her apprentice Deng Juan, but almost scratched the innocent Wen Ying.
During the Chinese New Year, Yang Xi went straight to Wen Ying's residential complex. While waiting for Wen Ying to come out, Yang Xi's eyes swept over the fruit shop at the entrance of the community.
I bought two bags of fruit awkwardly and stood at the entrance of the community again.
Wen Ying came out and looked at the fruit and was surprised: "Oh, you know how to give gifts now?"
How rare!
Hearing Yang Xi's tone on the phone, Wen Ying thought she was going to be chopped off, but she didn't expect that Yang Xi was quite worldly-wise and didn't come empty-handed.
Yang Xi's smile froze slightly: "It's the New Year, after all, you are one of my bosses, of course I have to give you some New Year's goods."
With only 5% of the shares and not being involved in the daily affairs of "Shrimp King", the boss Wen Ying's deterrent power over Yang Xi is almost zero.
Yang Xi had indeed honed her social skills at work. Wen Ying didn't expose her. "You were so fierce on the phone, wanting to settle a score with me, but now you're silent when you see me?"
Isn't that just the evil fire?
Yang Xi laughed dryly, "I am concerned but none of you told me about Deng Juan. Do you think I'm an outsider?"
Yang Xi was willing to speak in a nice manner, and Wen Ying didn't make things difficult for her.
"I treat you as an insider or an outsider, and since your last name isn't Deng, we have to wait for Sister Deng Juan to come back before we can resolve this."
Deng Juan will stay in the capital until tomorrow.
As living conditions have improved in the past two years, some customers choose to book New Year's Eve dinners in restaurants. The whole family can have a lively meal together without having to prepare meals before or wash dishes afterward. This is gradually becoming a new trend.
"Shrimp King" is positioned as a mid-range consumption restaurant and has launched a special menu for New Year's Eve, so the New Year's Eve banquet seats in several stores are basically fully booked.
After Deng Juan finishes her work on New Year's Eve, she can return to Chengdu on the first day of the Lunar New Year at the earliest. If she returns later, it will be the second or third day.
"Or just don't come back!"
Yang Xi snorted: "She is so honest that she never knows how to write the word 'rejection'. She only dares to say that she won't go back home because she is busy with work."
Wen Ying thought about it and actually felt that what Yang Xi said made sense.
Escape is not the solution to the problem, but insisting on escaping may be a form of soft resistance.
"If Sister Deng Juan could stay here forever, I would really admire her!"
Yang Xi chuckled, "Then give her some more work."
After New Year's Eve, the "Shrimp King" stores in Beijing will be closed for half a month and will reopen on the 15th day of the first lunar month.
Deng Juan has nothing to do in Beijing before "Shrimp King" reopens, so she will definitely return to Chengdu.
But going back to Chengdu does not mean going back to my hometown.
Yang Xi touched his chin, preparing to find an excuse to keep Deng Juan in Chengdu.
It would be best to help Deng Juan spend the money she has, so that she won’t be blamed if she has no money.
Yang Xi was about to ask Wen Ying about buying a house, but Wen Ying's attention was involuntarily drawn to a few people across the street.
Wen Ying rubbed her eyes subconsciously.
My eyes aren't blurry, and I'm not seeing things... But why are the Deng family here?!
A staggering drunkard.
A boy who looks listless but has clean soles.
The peasant woman looked reserved and cautiously at the bustling city.
And a rural woman who looks a bit like Deng Juan but looks at least ten years older than Deng Juan, holding a baby in her arms.
Wow, the entire Deng family is gathered together. Are they going to summon a dragon?!
"What are you looking at—"
Yang Xi didn't even see the figure clearly before Wen Ying pulled him aside.
Yang Xi finally managed to stand steady, and Wen Ying made a "hush" gesture to her, signaling her not to speak loudly.
Yang Xi looked carefully this time and found that these people looked more or less similar to Deng Juan.
Yang Xi suddenly realized and asked in a low voice: "...Deng family?!"
Wen Ying nodded slightly.
Yang Xi was about to roll up her sleeves, but Wen Ying held her back and said, "Hitting someone won't solve the problem. Wait for me to make a phone call."
Wen Ying had been to Deng Shangwei's hometown and chatted with the villagers, but had never met Deng Juan's family - but it was hard to say, what if Deng Juan's family could recognize her?
It's best to be cautious.
Wen Ying turned around and made a phone call.
The first time, Deng Shangwei didn’t answer.
The second time, Deng Shangwei finally answered.
"Xiaoying, I'm eating outside..."
Businesspeople are busiest before the Lunar New Year, and their socializing isn't over until New Year's Eve. Deng Shangwei's voice on the other end of the line was noisy. It was already afternoon, and the round from noon hadn't finished yet?
In just a short while, several people from the Deng family had crossed the road and walked straight towards the gate of the community.
Wen Ying covered the receiver: "Uncle, Sister Deng Juan's family is here. Her parents, her brother, and her eldest sister brought a little kid. They must be here to block Sister Deng Juan."
The Deng family didn't know that Deng Juan had gone to Beijing to work, and thought that Deng Juan was still working as a nanny in Deng Shangwei's home.
The drunkard Deng's father tried to talk to Deng Shangwei several times, but was scolded away by Deng Shangwei every time.
In previous years, Deng Juan should have returned to her hometown at the latest on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. However, on the 29th this year, Deng Juan was still saying that she was too busy with work to leave. She was just a nanny, not selling herself to Deng Shangwei, so why should she be unable to leave?
Deng's father became more and more convinced that his daughter had become scheming and deliberately refused to return to the countryside.
Okay.
You don’t want to go back to the countryside, right? The monk can run away, but the temple cannot!
Deng's father simply brought his whole family to Chengdu to look for someone.
He is Deng Juan's biological father, and it is natural for a father to look for his own daughter.
