After the two finished their meal, Lin Qingyu wanted to take a stroll around her family's restaurant.
"I think I should go check on it. I haven't been there for several days, and I'm a little worried!"
Gu Shi took her hand and led her slowly down the street.
"Don't worry too much, I've asked Chunmei to keep an eye on things for you, nothing will happen!"
Lin Qingyu's heart tightened. If Gu Shi hadn't said anything, it would have been better. If this was the case, then she would definitely have to go and see for herself.
Sometimes, you just don't like someone because there's no real reason why.
Moreover, Lin Qingyu's dislike for her was not without reason.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Gu Shi knew that she still wanted to go and see, so he simply led the people over there.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Lin Qingyu was somewhat surprised.
Is this deserted little restaurant the same bustling place it used to be?
Gu Shi's eyes were half-closed, and his brows were furrowed.
When I went inside, good heavens, it turned out that Zhou Chunmei was scolding the waitresses; no wonder the door was closed.
"This is……"
Although Lin Qingyu's blood pressure spiked, her first question was still polite.
Gu Shi remained silent with a cold face, his gaze seemingly fixed on Zhou Chunmei.
"Hey, what brings Xiao Gu and Qingyu here? Why aren't you at home resting?"
When the two entered, Zhou Chunmei still had a stern face, her hands on her hips, looking very imposing.
The next second, she could easily switch to a smiling face and even come over to pull Lin Qingyu along, as if they were best friends.
What are you doing?
Before Lin Qingyu could speak, Gu Shi walked over, put his arm around her waist, and pulled her closer to him.
Zhou Chunmei's hands were empty, but she still smiled and replied, "I was just explaining the rules to these waiters!"
The restaurant was quiet; no one spoke except for Zhou Chunmei's laughter, which she made while covering her mouth.
"Ahem! Well, Xiao Gu, you don't know, we've had a lot of complaints the past few days, so I closed the door today to talk to a few people..."
Gu Shi raised his hand, stopping Zhou Chunmei from continuing.
He pointed at Zhou Jiahui again, his voice completely flat: "Tell me, what happened?"
Zhou Jiahui glanced at Zhou Chunmei, then at Lin Qingyu, and finally shook her head, not daring to look at Gu Shi or speak.
Gu Shi didn't even blink, looking straight at Zhou Jiahui and said, "To tell you the truth, your boss is Lin Qingyu, not me, and certainly not anyone else!"
After hearing this, some people breathed a sigh of relief, some felt their hearts race, and some remained completely unmoved.
Zhou Jiahui's heart was racing; she desperately wanted to complain, but she didn't dare.
Since Gu Shi has spoken, then she can't be blamed for telling the truth!
"Madam, it's like this..."
It turns out that a few days ago, Zhou Chunmei suddenly fired the cook, Zhang Chao, who left without saying a word.
Zhou Chunmei's reason was simple: she felt that Zhang Chao's cooking skills were not good.
He then brought in his own men, who were reportedly paid twice as much as Zhang Chao.
The problem is, this person is definitely no match for Zhang Chao!
Zhang Chao was a veteran chef at a state-run restaurant; his skills were something you couldn't learn.
The person Zhou Chunmei arranged is not as good as some of the young people in the store. How can he be the head chef?
So that day, someone complained that the food was terrible and asked them to change the chef.
For several days in a row, the same thing happened: fewer and fewer customers. Zhou Chunmei thought she might as well go all the way and replace all the waitresses.
Anyway, she had inquired and found that none of the people here were relatives of Lin Qingyu.
Of course, Zhou Jiahui didn't know any of this. She only knew that the door hadn't been opened all day and that Zhou Chunmei had been lecturing her all morning.
"Explain."
Gu Shi said with a gloomy face, "I entrusted the restaurant to Zhou Chunmei because I trusted her, and it's only been less than ten days!"
"I am... I am... that cook, he stole the ingredients!"
In a moment of quick thinking, Zhou Chunmei decided to frame Zhang Chao.
This kind of problem can be considered minor or major.
If this is confirmed, Zhang Chao will never be able to find a decent job again, and it will be impossible for him to be hired by a larger restaurant.
Gu Shi sighed and dismissed everyone in the lobby, leaving only three people.
Do you think Master Zhang would be that kind of person?
When Zhou Chunmei's first plan failed, she came up with another idea. She pretended to cry and said, "It was Master Zhang who bullied me..."
"That day, he took advantage of me being alone in the lounge, went in, and...touched me..."
"Chunmei, tell me, what time was it that day? Did anyone see you come in, or him come in, or him leave the lounge?"
Zhou Chunmei remained silent, pursing her lips, perhaps thinking of an excuse.
"I only let you manage this restaurant because I genuinely trust you. Tell me yourself, do you think I can still feel at ease with this situation?"
Gu Shi didn't completely block her path; he was still someone who valued their past relationship.
Lin Qingyu didn't say a word the whole time, but she was indeed quite sad.
When Zhang Chao first came over, she was especially grateful that she had found such a good cook.
Moreover, many customers come specifically for the chef's skills, and some are even Zhang Chao's old customers.
I came all this way just to try their cooking.
After Zhou Chunmei pulled this stunt, she had no idea how to win him back.
"Xiao Gu, what are you saying? How could I have bad intentions? I just want to help Qingyu improve the environment of the shop."
"The customers in the restaurant are tired of the same food, so changing the chef can give us a change of pace!"
Zhou Chunmei stopped making up lies and tried her best to exonerate herself.
