After leaving the hospital, Su Yan took Hu Zi directly to Yunxiang Restaurant.
The staff at Yunxiang Restaurant all recognized Su Yan, and someone greeted her as soon as she entered.
"Miss Su, what brings you here so suddenly?"
Su Yan looked over and saw that the person speaking was the team leader in charge of serving the dishes.
She said, "I'm only here in Lanzhou temporarily. Where is your manager?"
The team leader pointed to the second floor and whispered, "He's in the office handing over his work to the new manager. He hasn't come out since this morning. The finance department said the manager looked very unhappy."
Upon hearing this, Su Yan raised an eyebrow. "The new manager must be someone important?"
"I don't know about that, but Manager Feng is quite unhappy. You've come at the right time, go up and see what's going on."
The team leader and Su Yan were quite familiar with each other, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to speak like that.
Su Yan nodded, "Then I'll go up and take a look."
The team leader nodded and then took a piece of candy from his pocket and handed it to Hu Zi.
Tiger didn't reach out to take it, but instead turned his head to look at Su Yan.
Su Yan asked, "What do you want to say?"
The siblings looked at each other for two seconds.
Tiger looked away, then took the candy from the team leader and slowly uttered, "Crab...crab."
The voice sounded a bit hoarse, like a smoky voice.
The team leader could tell there was a problem, but wisely didn't ask any more questions. He patted Tiger's head and said, "Good boy."
Afterwards, Su Yan took Hu Zi upstairs.
Second floor.
Manager's office.
Su Yan raised her hand and knocked on the door.
"Knock knock—!"
A few seconds later.
"Snap!"
The door opened, and the person who opened it was a new face.
She was a woman around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a slender figure. She was wearing a black business suit and a pair of black-rimmed glasses with thick lenses, which made her look very rigid. Her face was expressionless.
Su Yan thought to herself, but said aloud, "Hello, I'm looking for Manager Feng."
Upon hearing this, the woman immediately raised her wrist to check the time and said coldly, "It's working hours now. Employees can't see unauthorized personnel. Please come back after get off work."
He was about to close the door when he said that.
Su Yan: "..."
No wonder Sister Caixia was unhappy.
"etc!"
"What does my guest have to do with you? Mind your own business and stop meddling in other people's affairs."
Feng Caixia braced herself against the door, glaring at the woman.
The woman's face darkened instantly. "Manager Feng, according to headquarters regulations, employees are not allowed to meet with unauthorized persons during working hours."
"Ha!" Feng Caixia sneered, "How do you know he's just some nobody? Did you just rely on your intuition? If you run the business like this, the restaurant will go bankrupt soon! Alright, since you're so capable, I have nothing more to teach you. You'll start your new job tomorrow. I'll go directly to Guangzhou. If you're not satisfied, then call headquarters and complain about me."
After saying that, Feng Caixia pulled Su Yan inside, then slammed the door shut and locked it.
The woman, who was locked out, was so angry that her liver ached. With a gloomy face, she walked toward the finance department.
Her temporary office was set up in the finance department.
Inside the office.
Su Yan asked with a puzzled look, "What's going on?"
Feng Caixia took a deep breath, rubbing her throbbing forehead and complaining, "That woman's name is Dou Yi. She was sent by headquarters to replace me. She's from Shanghai, and she has a terrible temper. Even old fogies have to call her 'senior'!"
She arrived yesterday and only reported to my office this morning. After discussing the accounting issues, I thought I'd also share my management methods with her, but instead, she criticized me, saying I was lax in my management and that I shouldn't be paying her such a high salary. She said that once she took over, she would cut her salary, and then we started arguing about it. She's like a stubborn rock; you can't change her mind no matter what. Anyway, I don't care anymore; whatever.
Su Yan listened and analyzed the problem.
She smoothed out her draft and said calmly, "Our management philosophies are different, and our values are not aligned, so of course you can't reason with her. You have a more reasonable management style and you consider the employees' needs, but she sees things entirely from a businessman's perspective and prioritizes the company's interests."
To put it bluntly, Dou Yi is a shrewd businesswoman. Apart from the company, she doesn't care about the lives of her employees. She will use any means to make money and is extremely demanding in every aspect.
Feng Caixia sighed, "The restaurant's employees were all trained by me. They'll definitely have a hard time working under Dou Yi in the future."
But there was nothing she could do; headquarters couldn't replace her.
Su Yan thought for a moment, "You can ask the restaurant staff to see who is willing to go to Guangzhou with you, even if it includes meals but not accommodation."
Feng Caixia paused, then asked uncertainly, "You mean you want them to work in restaurants in Guangzhou?"
"Yes, it's definitely good for us if they go. After all, they are trustworthy people. We can entrust them with leadership positions, especially Team Leader Liao. She has worked in the restaurant for so many years, and it's best for her to train new people."
Feng Caixia's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "This method is feasible. I'll go down and ask them right now."
The employees she trained were all excellent in every way, and she didn't want them to stay here and have to put up with other people's attitudes.
The kitchen.
Feng Caixia called a meeting with her employees, and once everyone was present, she shared her thoughts.
“I know that everyone’s home is here. If you leave Lanzhou, you will definitely be reluctant to leave. It’s okay. You can think about it and give me an answer by the 29th at the latest. Or you can tell me directly now if you have already decided. There’s no need to be embarrassed or sorry to me. I respect you.”
Yunxiang has four kitchen staff and ten waiters. The other positions are not affected much, so she didn't call anyone over.
The fourteen employees present looked at each other in bewilderment.
The atmosphere became somewhat silent for a moment.
At this moment, Team Leader Liao stepped forward first and solemnly said, "Manager, I am willing to go to Guangzhou with you."
Team Leader Liao hadn't read many books, but she was very insightful.
Once Manager Feng leaves, she'll definitely be the target of ridicule from the new manager, since she was trained by Manager Feng.
Moreover, she had learned a bit about the new manager's temperament today; he was probably not easy to get along with.
Rather than being publicly executed, she'd rather resign and leave; she'd be more comfortable working for Manager Feng.
Everyone else was shocked to see who had stepped forward.
Even Feng Caixia didn't expect that the first person to be there would be Team Leader Liao.
Before she could speak, Chef Jin Gang said, "Team Leader Liao, your whole family is in Lan City. If you go there, won't you have to take care of your family?"
Team Leader Liao smiled faintly, "My children are taken care of by my in-laws, and my husband drives a truck. We only see each other a few times a year, so it doesn't matter whether I'm home or not."
Feng Caixia frowned and said seriously, "Old Liao, are you serious? Once you've agreed, there's no going back."
