Tong Xuelu was mocking her for looking like Wu Dalang, and Tan Xiaoyan understood.
She was so angry that her mouth almost twisted!
Her family inherited a short stature, especially the lower body. Even if she was the same height as others, she looked shorter than others.
What was even more embarrassing was that her mother's last name was Wu. When she was a child, when someone quarreled with her family, they would scold them for being the descendants of Wu Dalang.
It was so annoying.
She glared with her swollen eyes, pointed at Tong Xuelu and cursed: "I thought you looked decent before, but I didn't expect you to be in cahoots with that black-hearted woman Su Xiuying. How dare you come to work here?"
Tong Xuelu sneered: "Look at you, you look like a mean cuckold. Dogs bark at dogs and pigs piss at pigs. You have the nerve to come to work, why don't I have the face to come?"
"You, you..."
Tan Xiaoyan didn't expect Tong Xuelu, who looked gentle and polite, to be so sharp-tongued.
Her square face turned red and green with anger.
"What do you mean? Don't think I won't scold you just because you're ugly! You'd better not mess with me in the future, or I'll let everyone in Beijing know how ugly you are!"
Tong Xulu had already experienced how bad Tan Xiaoyan was when Su Xiuying came to change jobs that day.
After being a green tea for so many years, she was very good at judging people.
Some people may be mean-mouthed, but their hearts are not bad, but some people are so mean that they are invincible.
Tan Xiaoyan belongs to the latter.
Such people are not worth her conquest at all.
Tan Xiaoyan was like an angry chimpanzee, with her nostrils flaring and her chest heaving violently.
Tong Xulu was too lazy to pay attention to her and turned around to look at the state-owned hotel in front of her.
State-owned hotels are also divided into sizes and grades. The state-owned hotel where she came to work is upper-middle class.
In front of her was a vermilion wooden door. Looking through the glass window on the wooden door, she could see neatly arranged tables and chairs inside. There were probably about 10 to 20 tables, and the hall was very large.
On the white walls on both sides of the wooden door were written four big characters: self-reliance and hard work.
There was a plaque hanging on the top of the state-owned hotel, with the four big characters "State-owned Hotel" written on it. There was also a five-star red flag next to it, which was very characteristic of the times.
Seeing that Tong Xuelu was still leisurely after confronting her, Tan Xiaoyan felt even more upset.
But suddenly, she thought of something and a smug smile appeared on her face.
Tong Xuelu turned around and saw her expression, and frowned slightly.
I don't know what this woman is up to, but don't worry, we'll deal with it. I'm
not afraid.JPGAt
about nine o'clock, the manager of the state-owned hotel, Liu Changdong, finally showed up.
Liu Dongchang is about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, and like Tan Xiaoyan, he is short and stocky, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes.
He is the kind of man who, if you only look at his face, you would think he is a 1.8-meter-tall man, but it is this face that is set in a 1.65-meter-tall body, which is very inconsistent from side to side.
Seeing Liu Dongchang coming, Tan Xiaoyan's eyes lit up immediately, and she ran to greet him: "Brother-in-law, you are finally here. If you don't come, I will be bullied!"
Tong Xuelu didn't find it strange to call Tan Xiaoyan.
If there was no backstage, Tan Xiaoyan would not dare to be so arrogant.
Liu Dongchang frowned when he heard the name of brother-in-law, but he didn't seem very happy: "How many times have I told you not to call me brother-in-law during working hours!"
Tan Xiaoyan twisted her body and said coquettishly: "I know brother-in-law, but it's not time to go to work yet!"
Not everyone can use coquetry casually.
Seeing Tan Xiaoyan's coquettish look, Tong Xuelu was very glad that she didn't eat too much in the morning.
Liu Dongchang didn't find it offensive: "Tell me, who bullied you again?"
Tan Xiaoyan pointed her short carrot finger at Tong Xuelu and said, "It was the new girl. She scolded me for no reason and said that she would be the boss of the state-owned hotel in the future and I must obey her orders!"
Oh, she actually made up a story and blamed me.
She really underestimated her viciousness.
Liu Dongchang only then noticed the existence of Tong Xuelu. When he saw her face, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
But even though Tong Xuelu was very beautiful, he still didn't like her.
After Su Xiuying's accident, he originally wanted Su Xiuying to exchange work positions with his eldest sister.
His parents died early, and he was raised by his elder sister. In order to support his studies, his elder sister rejected many marriage proposals and worked as a laborer like men.
Later, he was admitted to the Agricultural and Engineering University, and after graduation, he was assigned to a state-owned hotel. His family finally got their reward after all the hardships.
However, although he was the manager of the state-owned hotel, the workstations were very limited, and it was not easy for him to get his elder sister to work in the state-owned hotel.
After waiting for a vacancy, she was snatched away by Tong Xuelu before she even asked for it.
Does he like Tong Xuelu?
Hearing what Tan Xiaoyan said, his face turned pale and he said: "Comrade Tong, what's wrong with you? You didn't unite with your fellow workers when you first arrived, but only sabotaged us. We, the state-owned hotel, don't want saboteurs like you!"
Liu Dongchang was much smarter than Tan Xiaoyan by putting a big hat on her right away.
Tong Xuelu looked down at her shoes and remained silent.
Tan Xiaoyan put her hands on her hips: "Tong, didn't you hear my brother-in-law talking to you? Now you are scared, but how dare you be so arrogant just now?"
Tong Xuelu still didn't say anything.
Liu Dongchang frowned and said in a stern voice: "Comrade Tong Xuelu, if you don't speak up, I will punish you according to the rules of the state-owned hotel!"
Tong Xuelu slowly raised her head, her fair face flushed: "Manager Liu, it's not that I don't want to say it, but I'm afraid that if I tell the truth, it will embarrass you."
When Liu Dongchang heard her say this, his brows frowned even tighter: "What truth? Just tell the truth!"
Tan Xiaoyan stared at Tong Xuelu with her swollen eyes and shouted: "Brother-in-law, she must want to frame me, don't listen to her nonsense!"
Tong Xuelu: "Comrade Tan, I haven't said anything yet, and you're saying I'm talking nonsense? Even if he's a murderer, he has the right to defend himself before the evidence is conclusive!"
Liu Dongchang turned his head and glanced at Tan Xiaoyan: "Don't make a sound."
Tong Xuelu bit her lower lip and stammered: "I came to the state-owned hotel early in the morning, and I was standing here waiting for the door to open. Later, Comrade Tan came over. She first looked me up and down, and then pointed at my nose and warned me not to think that I was pretty and wanted to seduce... seduce you, Manager Liu!"
Liu Dongchang's face turned red, and he turned his head to look at Tan Xiaoyan, whose nostrils were wide open and looked incredulous.
Tong Xuelu didn't give her a chance to speak, and continued: "She also said that Manager Liu, you are the one she has her eyes on, and told me not to be delusional, otherwise she would kick me out of the state-owned hotel!"
"I was very angry when I heard that. Manager Liu and I just met once, and I didn't do anything. Isn't she insulting my reputation? What I didn't expect was that you two are actually the relationship between sister-in-law and brother-in-law. You two..."
Tong Xuelu stopped talking here, looking at the two of them with contempt and disbelief.
Nonsense, she is professional.
"..."
"..."
The three of them were silent for a few seconds.
Tan Xiaoyan came back to her senses, her nose red with anger: "You are talking nonsense! I never said those words! It was you who scolded me first without any reason!"
"You said it yourself, I have no grudge against you, why should I scold you without any reason?"
"That's because... because of you..."
Tan Xiaoyan blushed and stammered, unable to speak.
She was the one who scolded Tong Xuelu first, of course she didn't dare to let her brother-in-law know.
Moreover, she cared a lot about her image in Liu Dongchang's heart, and she didn't want to say the ugly words Tong Xuelu said to her in front of her brother-in-law.
Liu Dongchang's face turned as red as a cooked shrimp: "Comrade Tong, don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong between Comrade Tan and me, and I treat her like my own sister!"
Tong Xuelu was suspicious: "But Comrade Tan didn't say that just now..."
Liu Dongchang: "She is not clear-headed, don't listen to her nonsense. Tan Xiaoyan, apologize to Comrade Tong now!"
Tan Xiaoyan was so angry: "Brother-in-law, I didn't..."
Liu Dongchang interrupted her and shouted: "Don't call me brother-in-law. If you can't do it, don't come to work in the state-owned hotel in the future!"
Tan Xiaoyan felt very aggrieved, but had to apologize.
She stared at Tong Xuelu with her swollen eyes: "I'm sorry, Comrade Tong, I shouldn't have made up a story about you, please forgive me!"
Tong Xuelu looked sympathetic: "Admitting one's mistakes is the best way to improve. Since Comrade Tan has apologized to me, I will pretend that this matter never happened."
Liu Dongchang's face was still very red: "Comrade Tong, can you please... not tell anyone about what I said just now?"
Tong Xuelu raised three fingers and swore: "I, Tong Xuelu, swear that if I tell anyone what I said today, Let me strike with five thunderbolts! I am here to serve the people, not to engage in internal struggles, so Manager Liu, please rest assured! "
Liu Dongchang was relieved when he heard this: "Of course I am relieved, Comrade Tong, you are a very good comrade, I will remember this!"
After that, he turned his head and frowned at Tan Xiaoyan: "Comrade Tan, because you deliberately caused trouble today, I will deduct three points from you!"
The employees of state-owned hotels have a scoring standard, and the person who scores is the manager of the state-owned hotel.
The person with the highest score will receive a physical award at the end of the year, and those who have more points deducted will be criticized in public and need to make a review at the annual meeting.
When Tan Xiaoyan heard this, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood: "Sister... Manager Liu, I..."
"Don't say anything more, this matter ends here."
Liu Dongchang interrupted her without giving her face and put an end to this matter.
The reason why he did not doubt what Tong Xuelu said was that less than half a year after his wife passed away, his mother-in-law called him over and asked him if he wanted to strengthen the relationship.
He drank a little wine at the time and did not react for a while, and then he heard his mother-in-law say that if he married another woman from outside, that woman might not be good to his two children.
But if he married Tan Xiaoyan, it would be different. Tan Xiaoyan is the biological aunt of the two children, and she will definitely treat the two children as her own children.
Hearing those words, he was sobered up immediately and rejected his mother-in-law's proposal without hesitation. He thought that was the end of the matter, but he didn't expect that two days later, Tan Xiaoyan confessed to him in person.
Although he had been married once, he was the manager of a state-owned hotel. How could he be interested in such an ugly woman like Tan Xiaoyan?
He liked young, beautiful and educated women. Tan Xiaoyan was nothing like that except being a woman.
He scolded Tan Xiaoyan on the spot and told her not to talk nonsense again in the future.
When Tan Xiaoyan confessed to him, everyone in the state-owned hotel had gone home after work, and there were only the two of them in the store.
No one in the state-owned hotel knew about this, and Tong Xuelu, a newcomer, would know even less, so he did not doubt Tong Xuelu's words.
Tan Xiaoyan felt very aggrieved.
After Liu Dongchang left, she stared at Tong Xuelu and asked unwillingly, "Where did you hear that just now?"
Tong Xuelu curled her red lips at her and smiled, "I was just talking nonsense, but I didn't expect that I would be right."
Tan Xiaoyan: "..."
Just then, other people from the state-owned hotel came.
Seeing them standing at the door, they asked curiously, "Why don't you go in?"
Tong Xuelu smiled and greeted them, "Hello, I am the person who exchanged jobs with Comrade Su. My name is Tong Xuelu. Please give me more advice in the future!"
One of the people who came was the master chef of the state-owned hotel. His surname was Meng, and he was called Master Meng.
Master Meng was about fifty years old, tall and plump. At a glance, he was fat because he was raised in the state-owned hotel.
He glanced at Tong Xuelu, said "hmm" and went in.
Following behind him was a young man, tall and thin, about fifteen or sixteen years old.
After hearing what Tong Xuelu said, he grinned at her and then followed Master Meng inside.
Tong Xuelu had heard from Su Xiuying before that this young man was called Guo Weiping and was Master Meng's apprentice. He entered the state-owned hotel to learn the craft at the age of fourteen. Tong Xuelu saw
that everyone else had gone in, and without even looking at Tan Xiaoyan, she turned around and followed in.
Of course, she was not making up the story about Liu Dongchang and Tan Xiaoyan, but Su Xiuying told her about it.
On the day when Tan Xiaoyan confessed her love to Liu Dongchang, Su Xiuying left something in the hotel, and when she went back to get it, she happened to run into Tan Xiaoyan holding Liu Dongchang. The
reason why she told Tong Xuelu about this was partly to thank Tong Xuelu for helping her, and partly to retaliate against Tan Xiaoyan's sarcasm towards her.
Tong Xuelu didn't expect that this handle would come in handy so soon.
Seeing Tong Xuelu go in, Tan Xiaoyan stamped her feet and followed in.
After everyone arrived, Liu Dongchang announced today's dishes.
Today is Friday, and according to custom, meat dumplings and braised pork will be served.
After Liu Dongchang announced the dishes, he glanced at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Guo Weiping: "Little Guo, come with me to buy pork later."
Before Guo Weiping could nod, he heard Master Meng snort: "Little Guo is busy, I have to teach him how to cut vegetables today."
Liu Dongchang frowned when he heard this: "It won't take him much time to buy meat, can't I teach him when I come back?"
Master Meng snorted: "Manager Liu, it's easy for you to say it. We will start cooking when you buy the meat. Where will we have time to teach?"
Oh no, let's fight.
Tong Xulu sat aside, calm on the surface, but very excited inside.
