Southwest Street.
At Niangui Grilled Green Pepper Sauce Branch No. 2.
Lu Jing sat leisurely behind the counter, legs crossed, humming Wu Yanping's new song, and looking at herself in a mirror.
"Looks like I'll have to buy a different kind of cosmetic next time. This color is too intense and looks too gaudy. It covers up my really pretty face."
"And that bastard from earlier, he's so handsome, yet so vicious! He made me so angry!"
"If I run into him again, I'll give him a good dressing down."
"I'm so beautiful, how can they be so indifferent to me? They must be blind and have no aesthetic sense at all."
As she spoke, she began to make various expressions in front of the mirror, sometimes pouting cutely, sometimes raising her chin to appear aloof, and sometimes revealing a charming and delicate demeanor.
"How much is the roasted green pepper sauce?"
Just then, a woman's voice came in.
That same phrase again!
That's exactly the same question that jerk asked earlier.
Perhaps traumatized by those words, Lü Jing felt a sudden surge of disgust and said without looking up, "Isn't the price clearly marked on it? Five yuan a bottle, can't you read that yourself?"
The person outside who asked the question didn't seem to care and continued, "I heard that your newly opened branch has special offers. Is that true?"
"No!"
Lu Jing became even more impatient. "Five yuan a bottle. If you can afford it, just pay up. If you don't have money, why are you trying to take advantage of this discount? It's all just a scam."
"Yeah?"
This time, the voice that answered Lü Jing was not that woman's, but a man's voice that she knew very well.
Lin Chao?
Lu Jing's expression changed, and she hurriedly covered the mirror and hid it under the counter in front of her. Only then did she raise her head and force a stiff smile.
"Manager Lin, what brings you here?"
Then, she glanced at the woman who had just spoken.
She was a girl dressed in homemade linen clothes from the countryside, looking rather rustic.
Although there was no embellishment, her figure and appearance were quite good. In any case, the moment she saw her, a trace of jealousy rose deep in her heart.
If the other person knew how to dress themselves, they would definitely be prettier than her.
"I was so focused on checking the accounts that I forgot to answer your question!"
Knowing full well that this woman was a country bumpkin and couldn't possibly afford a five-yuan bottle of roasted green pepper sauce, and with Lin Chao and Zhou Yuanyuan right there, Lü Jing still said enthusiastically, "Miss, didn't you just ask about our store's special offers? Let me tell you about them now."
"No!"
Before the woman could answer, Lin Chao said in a deep voice, "Pack your things and go. I'll pay you your wages for the three days you've worked."
"What?"
Lü Jing could hardly believe her ears. "Manager Lin, you're firing me?"
While asking this question, she kept casting pleading glances at Zhou Yuanyuan.
Her comfortable job, which allowed her to slack off and paid well, was introduced to her by Zhou Yuanyuan at her sister's request.
She's finally gotten used to things, and now Lin Chao, her manager, wants to fire her?
"Lü Jing, I did promise your sister I would introduce you to a job, but your behavior has really disappointed me!"
Zhou Yuanyuan shook her head. "We hired you to boost the business of this branch, but look at your attitude towards the customer just now."
"Sister Yuanyuan, I'm innocent!"
Lu Jing said aggrievedly, "I was just busy looking through the ledgers and didn't have time to introduce the store's promotional activities to the customers."
"Enough!"
Zhou Yuanyuan said in a low voice, "It's no use trying to argue anymore. Hurry up and pack your things and leave. I will give your sister an explanation."
"Sister Yuanyuan, I really didn't!"
Lu Jing tried to argue, but Zhou Yuanyuan said, "I've already given you a chance. It's your own fault for not being good enough. Don't blame me."
"But I didn't do anything wrong."
Seeing Zhou Yuanyuan and Lin Chao's serious expressions, Lü Jing became somewhat angry. "I have always stuck to my post and have never been late or left early. What gives you the right to fire me?"
"You say one thing to our faces and another behind our backs. Do you really think we don't know?"
Zhou Yuanyuan snorted coldly, "We just caught you red-handed, so your excuses are useless."
"But……"
Lu Jing wanted to continue making excuses, but Zhou Yuanyuan said again, "The boss already knows about your attitude towards the customer just now."
"What?" Lü Jing was taken aback.
However, she wasn't stupid. Although she didn't understand what was going on, she had already realized where the problem lay.
The owner of Niangui Grilled Green Pepper Sauce is a nouveau riche named Wang Qian.
I heard he's very handsome, but unfortunately he's already married and has a son.
However, Zhou Yuanyuan said that the boss, Wang Qian, went to Linjiang City and hasn't returned yet.
How can I tell what her attitude is towards customers?
Most importantly, apart from what just happened, she performed very well in front of both Manager Lin Chao and Zhou Yuanyuan. How did Boss Wang Qian find out that?
"There was a man just now..."
Zhou Yuanyuan wanted to recount the whole story again, but Lin Chao was already impatient and waved his hand to interrupt her, saying, "Why bother telling her so much? Just pay her three days' wages and tell her to pack her things and leave. I don't want to see her again."
Since Lin Chao had already said that, Zhou Yuanyuan stopped trying to explain and urged, "Lü Jing, I don't want to repeat myself. Let's pack our things and leave."
