When Song Lili heard the news, her first reaction was not anger, but curiosity and surprise.
"You're saying the store went missing ingredients? And it's been like this for quite a while?"
Qiao Lin lowered his head and said, "Yes, it was Sister Gong who discovered it."
"Do you know who did it? Or are there any suspects?" Song Lili pondered.
Ingredients gone missing? It seems like this kind of thing is quite common in food stores.
However, Song Lili never expected that such a thing would happen in her own shop.
"No, Sister Gong and I discussed it for a long time, but we didn't think anyone was a suspect, so we thought we'd let you know, boss."
"Well... let's not make a fuss about it for now. Let's just pretend we haven't discovered it yet. If this ingredient can go missing once, it will definitely go missing a second time."
"Take a rest for the next few days and observe the situation. I think we'll have an answer soon."
"I won't go to the store for the next few days to avoid alerting them. Let me know when you have the results."
Soon, Song Lili came up with a solution and told Qiao Lin about her idea.
Qiao Lin's eyes lit up, and then he nodded excitedly, "Okay, I understand. I will definitely keep a close eye on things." This was also to atone for his mistake.
Otherwise, I would always feel guilty and ashamed to face my boss, and I would feel terrible.
"Boss, I'm sorry." In the end, Qiao Lin still bowed to Song Lili to apologize. He felt that it was his fault for not managing things well.
"It's not entirely your fault. It doesn't matter if other people have bad character, but you also made a mistake by not supervising them properly."
"I will punish you accordingly after this matter is over. I accept your apology today."
"These next few days, just keep an eye on the employees who are involved. If you find out who it is, just let me know."
Song Lili said this because she was afraid that Qiao Lin would act impulsively and immediately confront the person.
Some things are better handled discreetly to avoid escalating the situation.
Knowing that most of the store's employees were students from the Capital University, Song Lili didn't want to make things too awkward.
"Okay, I understand." Qiao Lin agreed and then went back to work.
Looking at the gray, somewhat dark sky, Song Lili couldn't help but sigh.
No matter who it is, she feels uncomfortable. She pays high wages and offers good benefits. Isn't she satisfied?
Is it true that greed is insatiable, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant?
That evening, Song Lili felt upset and lost her appetite. Zhang Qinghua noticed this and asked her about it when they were alone together.
"Did something happen?" Zhang Qinghua gently hugged Song Lili, letting her rest her head on his shoulder.
"Qiao Lin came today." Song Lili felt uncomfortable and suffocated, and wanted to confide in someone.
So when Zhang Qinghua asked, she immediately told him, and she was also planning to have a serious talk with him.
"I feel a little upset that the ingredients in the store are inexplicably less and the quantity is increasing."
It's upsetting that person would resort to such methods to steal things.
If you encounter any difficulties, it's good to let everyone know; we can all help.
Tell her she can manage alone, but why steal it?
The employees in this store had all worked and struggled together with Song Lili, so Song Lili had a deep affection for them.
She didn't want anyone in there to have any problems.
But reason told her that this was done by an insider, and outsiders wouldn't have had such an opportunity.
That's why she felt upset and suffocated.
Zhang Qinghua pulled Song Lili close and kissed her, then hugged her tightly once more, as if he wanted to transfer his warmth to her.
"This is their personal choice, and we have no way to interfere. They have to bear the consequences and responsibilities for what they have done."
"I think that since he stole the ingredients, he must have expected that he would be caught one day, so don't be sad, okay?"
"Everyone has a different personality, so they make different choices, and such behavior is their own fault."
Zhang Qinghua understood why Song Lili was upset, but all he could do was offer her comfort.
He doesn't care about other people's affairs; he only cares about the people he cares about.
And he's right, everyone has to pay the price for their actions.
Since you've done it, you have to bear the consequences and not regret it.
"Go to sleep, you'll feel better when you wake up." Zhang Qinghua comforted her for a long time before kissing Song Lili's forehead to let her rest, as she was feeling a bit sleepy.
Sleep, sleep, maybe when you wake up you'll forget all your unhappiness?
Following her own instructions, Song Lili hasn't gone to the store these past few days, staying home to wait for Qiao Lin's results.
Although she was heartbroken, she never considered letting that person go.
Just as Zhang Qinghua said, everyone must be responsible for their own choices.
Her interests have been harmed, and she must bring this person to justice; otherwise, she would be aiding and abetting a tyrant.
It can also make that person feel lucky and think that they will not be punished for doing bad things, so they will become even more wicked in the future.
Therefore, she had to find that person.
On the first day, there was no news, but Song Lili wasn't worried. She stayed home with her child and thought about who it could be.
The next day, there was still no news, which made Song Lili a little puzzled.
If someone wants to steal ingredients, it will definitely happen when no one is around, and the best opportunity is at night.
So, Song Lili wasn't surprised at all that there was no news on the first day, after all, you have to give the thief time to commit the crime, right?
But it was strange that there was no news the next day. Could it be that the thief had given up his criminal ways?
Otherwise, why is there no news?
Song Lili wondered if she should go to the store. Should she go and check it herself? Or had Qiao Lin made too much noise and the thief noticed?
Song Lili wondered what was going on, but she remained calmly at home, deciding to wait a little longer.
The day passed, and Qiao Lin still hadn't come.
That evening, Song Lili discussed this issue with Zhang Qinghua: "Do you think it's possible that the thief discovered us? So he's lying in wait? Afraid of being caught?"
After thinking it over, Song Lili felt that this was very likely.
"Don't overthink it. Wait for Qiao Lin. He's clever and has his own methods. He shouldn't cause any trouble like this."
"I think something must have delayed things. Maybe we'll hear from them tomorrow? Don't worry."
Song Lili nodded, "Okay, then I'll wait a bit longer. If it really doesn't work, I'll take matters into my own hands. I refuse to believe I can't catch that person."
"Don't let me catch him, or I'll make him pay the price."
Song Lili suddenly gave a cold laugh. She suddenly felt that she shouldn't waste her patience on such a person; it was simply a waste of time and emotions.
