"Ah, this, this." Wu Gang looked over and said, trying to appear calm, "I've been busy these past few days, so I was thinking of finding someone to help out during the winter break."
It's normal for hot pot restaurants to be busy in winter, and it's also normal for them to have employees working during winter break.
Zhou Sui glanced at the girl with braided pigtails again. The girl had already lowered her head and dared not meet Zhou Sui's gaze.
"Does HR know?" Zhou Sui's casual question made Wu Gang's palms start to sweat.
Zhou Sui glanced at him sideways. No answer was needed; Wu Gang's expression had already told Zhou Sui everything.
"Call the police first. After you've finished arranging today's work, bring the winter break workers upstairs." Zhou Sui said and went straight upstairs.
Wu Gang had no choice but to quickly finish the call, hold the morning meeting as usual, arrange everyone's tasks, and wait for everyone to leave, leaving only the young girl with the braided hair.
"Brother, has your boss found out?" The young girl was named Wu Ermei, Wu Gang's cousin.
Wu Gang glared at her. "Didn't I tell you to hide at the very back? How come you still got caught?"
He only found out this morning that the money box had been pried open, and he was anxious because otherwise he definitely wouldn't have let Zhou Sui and Wu Xiaohua meet.
"I was hiding." Wu Ermei didn't know how Zhou Sui had discovered her, even though she was standing behind that tall guy.
"Brother, what should we do? Am I out of work?" Wu Ermei asked worriedly.
"You're still worried about your job?" Wu Gang snorted. "You should be worried about mine now."
He knew Zhou Sui well; if she violated company rules and regulations, she would be dealt with ruthlessly.
"What should we do then?" Wu Ermei panicked even more when she heard this. "How about I don't go upstairs with you? I'll go back first and pretend I was never here."
Wu Gang really wanted to call her stupid, but he felt it was unnecessary.
"Don't say anything later, just watch my eyes. If President Zhou says something, don't talk back, just admit you were wrong."
"Oh, by the way, make yourself sound more pitiful, so that Mr. Zhou knows how much you need this job, okay?"
The two chattered amongst themselves downstairs for a while before heading upstairs.
"President Zhou." Wu Gang led Wu Ermei upstairs. "It was my fault regarding the winter break job. I acted on my own initiative."
Without Zhou Sui even needing to mention it, Wu Gang readily admitted his mistake, "The shop is just too busy. We don't mind working a little harder ourselves, but we're worried about not being able to serve the customers well. I thought that if we had one more person, we could provide better service to the customers, so here it is~"
You should be familiar with the company's recruitment policy for winter break workers.
“You’re not the only busy store. The company understands that if your stores can’t find enough staff, HR will send people over. I remember at the beginning of the month HR sent over winter break workers. You said you don’t need them anymore?”
Zhou Sui glared angrily at Wu Gang. She had already restrained herself somewhat downstairs in front of everyone.
Wu Gang was previously a restaurant manager with extensive experience, so why would he make this small mistake?
"At that time," Wu Gang quickly thought of a reasonable explanation in his mind, "she was already in the store, and I thought that an experienced person was better than a novice."
"President Zhou, I was wrong about this. I will let her go immediately and I will never violate the company's rules and regulations again."
“I know I was wrong. Please deduct this month’s bonus as punishment.”
Wu Gang is a seasoned veteran. He knows that if this matter is really investigated, he will suffer a lot. But since he took the initiative to ask for punishment, Zhou Sui can't possibly make things worse, right?
