Chapter 63 Taotao is a Little Rich Woman (1)
Bai Lili was so angry that she asked Xu Fengjuan, "What do you want?"
Xu Fengjuan had two goals: one was to drive Bai Lili away, so that Zhang Zhifa, that damn ghost, would not always be thinking about her! Second, Bai Lili must never be allowed to become a regular employee.
——The hotel business is booming in the second half of this year. Her uncle has already reported to his superiors about expanding recruitment. Maybe there will be regular employees next year.
Xu Fengjuan has been working as a temporary worker in this hotel for ten years and has never been able to get a permanent job; Bai Lili has only been here for less than three months and is very popular in the unit.
But she didn't think it was because of Bai Lili's laziness and bullying of her colleagues, but because she blamed Bai Lili for being hardworking, down-to-earth, and willing to work hard and express herself...
This made Xu Fengjuan anxious.
so--
Bai Lili must be driven away!
Xu Fengjuan glared at him, "You stole public property, you deserve to be arrested! Go to jail!"
Although Manager Xu and Section Chief Feng were not there, Director Chu was there. He rushed over after hearing the news. "What's wrong? What happened?"
Bai Lili tried hard to hold back her tears, "Director Chu..."
Xu Fengjuan spoke up in a thunderous voice: "Bai Lili stole the collective rice and gave it to her relatives! Director! We have to kick her out! People with such dirty hands and feet like her must not stay in our restaurant anymore! Get her out! Get out now!"
Director Chu, "Bai Lili, is what Xu Fengjuan said true?"
Bai Lili, "No! Director, please listen to my explanation..."
Xu Fengjuan cursed, "What the hell are you explaining? Explaining means you're guilty! Do you have the guts to admit it? Do you? You damned bastard, do you have the guts? Die!"
Tang Liren couldn't help it and took action.
She was holding the remaining half bowl of rice and threw it directly into Xu Fengjuan's mouth!
Xu Fengjuan was cursing happily when a bowl flew over and hit her teeth with a "bang"? ! When I opened my eyes, I saw that the one who did it was that rural woman?
Xu Fengjuan has always been domineering and people always avoid her and no one dares to attack her.
For a moment, she was stunned, feeling a sharp pain in her teeth and numbness in her mouth.
Tang Liren said slowly: "Unfortunately, I am the mother of Bai Lili who was cursed by you. Since you have the guts to spread rumors that I am dead, then don't be afraid that I will come back to life today, right?"
Xu Fengjuan was furious and came up with her claws waving, "You f*cking bastard..."
Tang Liren is used to doing farm work and is very strong. Seeing Xu Fengjuan rushing towards her, she dodged, then grabbed Xu Fengjuan's hair and smashed her face down against the back of the chair!
As a result, Xu Fengjuan's neck hit the back of the chair hard. She felt a sharp pain in her neck and was unable to breathe. She was terrified and kept waving her hands.
Director Chu tried to smooth things over, "Hey, Mrs. Bai, we are all family members of our company, there is no need to make such a fuss."
Tang Liren sneered, "Director Chu, I'm sorry I don't understand what you are saying... What's wrong with me?"
Director Chu, "Can you please let Xu Fengjuan go first? Otherwise, if Manager Xu asks about it later, I won't be able to explain myself to him!"
Tang Liren understood - Director Chu was on Xu Fengjuan's side!
"Director Chu, I really don't know what you are talking about," Tang Liren said with a smile, "I didn't do anything to Xu Fengjuan at all! Just like just now, Xu Fengjuan didn't scold my daughter for having a dead mother, and she didn't bully or slander my daughter... You said, right?"
As she spoke, Tang Liren asked everyone present, "Did you see what I did to Xu Fengjuan?" Her tone was gentle and kind, but the strength in her hands did not diminish at all, and she pushed Xu Fengjuan down fiercely.
Xu Fengjuan almost lost her soul, but her throat was pressed against the back of the chair. Not only could she not speak, she couldn't even breathe. She could only wave her hands in vain...
Tao Tao, Song Zhi, Cheng Zhujun, Cheng Zhuping, including He Zhaoguo and Dong Mingchun at the next table, said in unison:
"I didn't see Xu Fengjuan bullying my sister with my own eyes!"
"I can testify that nothing happened."
"Let's have a good meal, it's okay!"
"That's right, everything is fine here, what happened?"
"I didn't notice anything unusual."
"It's okay, let's continue eating!"
Director Chu: …
Seeing that Xu Fengjuan's struggles were getting weaker and weaker, Tang Liren was afraid that she was dead, so she grabbed her hair and lifted her head up. Seeing that she was holding her breath so much that her face turned purple, she threw her to the ground!
Xu Fengjuan fell to the ground like a dead fish, gasping for breath.
Tang Liren said in surprise: "Hey Director Chu, the employees in your hotel are fainted from hunger!"
Director Chu:? ? ?
Tang Liren said again: "Why are you like this? Director Chu, as a leader, you are too irresponsible! How can you let employees go to work on an empty stomach? Hey, Comrade Xu Fengjuan, come on, since you are already fainting from hunger, open your mouth and eat something!"
Before, Tang Liren hit Xu Fengjuan's mouth with half a bowl of rice. Now the bowl has been smashed and the rice in the bowl has spilled all over the floor.
Tang Liren picked up the rice scattered on the ground and stuffed it directly into Xu Fengjuan's mouth.
Xu Fengjuan: Let me die!
"Xu Fengjuan, if you don't eat, I will use my fist to smash all the rice from your mouth into your stomach, do you believe it?" Tang Liren said coldly.
Xu Fengjuan: …
She whimpered twice and opened her mouth to eat.
Tang Liren smiled with satisfaction, "Comrade Xu Fengjuan is really a good comrade who is thrifty and manages the household well!" As she said that, she stuffed all the rice that had fallen on the ground and was stained with mud into Xu Fengjuan's mouth.
Facts have proved that when honest people become violent, the gangsters become honest.
After Tang Liren "fed" Xu Fengjuan the meal, Xu Fengjuan still lay on the ground, not daring to move.
Tang Liren said with a smile: "Comrade Xu Fengjuan, are you still hungry? Are you still dizzy?"
Xu Fengjuan shook her head with tears in her eyes.
Tang Liren's expression suddenly changed, and she said coldly: "Why don't you get up?"
Xu Fengjuan was so frightened that she stood up quickly from the ground.
Tang Liren, "Come on, tell me... As an employee of a state-owned restaurant, why did you steal the guests' meals during working hours?"
Xu Fengjuan was stunned.
After a while, she came back to her senses, "I, I..."
Tang Liren slapped the table with a loud slap. "Just now you stole my rice. Everyone here saw it..." Then she raised her head and asked everyone, "Tell me, did you see it?"
Tao Tao was the first to respond, "Yes! I saw this person eat the rice that my mother ordered!"
Everyone also said:
"Yes! I saw it!"
“She definitely ate the customer’s rice!”
"He ate a lot, half a bowl of rice!"
“I saw that too!”
"I can testify that she did eat the guest's rice!"
Tang Liren looked at Director Chu and asked with a smile: "Director, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"
Director Chu: …
He was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat.
——Bai Lili is so gentle and cute, why is her mother so powerful? It's so scary!
At this time, Zhang Zhifa came out from the kitchen, "What happened?"
When Bai Lili saw this man, she immediately felt physically nauseous and hid behind her mother involuntarily.
Xu Fengjuan found her backbone and said, "Boss, if you don't come out... I will be bullied to death!" As she said this, she cried out "wow".
When Tang Liren saw Zhang Zhifa's short stature, fatness, ruddy face and shifty look, and thought about the rumors and her daughter's avoidance, she couldn't help but get angry.
She stared at Zhang Zhifa closely.
Zhang Zhifa was stunned by Bai Taotao who was standing beside him.
——Wow, Bai Lili is already the most gentle and beautiful girl he has ever seen, but he didn’t expect that there is another girl as beautiful as a fairy here!
Song Zhi pulled Taotao behind him.
Zhang Zhifa finally came to his senses and said to Tang Liren with a smile: "Aunt, we are all family, so let's be merciful when we can!"
Tang Liren also smiled, "Why didn't you say this when you bullied my daughter?"
Zhang Zhi raised his voice and asked Bai Lili, "Lili, tell me, have we ever bullied you?"
Bai Lili bit her lip.
Before today, she was very confused. On the one hand, she cherishes this job and vows to do her best to prove herself and bring honor to her parents and family; but on the other hand, she is also a child who was raised and doted on by her parents. Although she is not afraid of hard work or fatigue, she is really fed up with the grievances in this restaurant. This is mental torture!
Now, she fully felt her mother's anger.
This is her mother's protection of her.
After what happened, she could no longer do this job.
Why should I endure it anymore? ? ?
Bai Lili cried, "Mom, I feel so wronged here! Before my master (Uncle Qin) took leave, I was doing well here. After my master took leave and went back to his hometown, Zhang Zhifa and Xu Fengjuan started to bully me!"
"Zhang Zhifa tried every way to bully me and take advantage of me... I avoided him and told him many times, scolded him and told him to stay away from me, but he held a grudge and ordered me to do the dirtiest, most tiring and hardest work!"
"Xu Fengjuan is even worse. When I was resting in the dormitory when I was not working, she pushed her son into our female dormitory and asked me to help her take care of the child! Her son smashed everything in my dormitory and beat me, leaving me covered in injuries... I argued with Xu Fengjuan, and she blamed me for arguing with a child..."
"Mom! Look at the wounds on my face and hands, they were all scratched by her son! And my legs... but they are covered by my trouser legs so you can't see them. Mom, it hurts so much!" Lili started crying.
Tang Li's heart was broken.
Xu Fengjuan argued, "You didn't tell me. If you had told me, I would have disciplined our little Fatty..."
Bai Lili said angrily, "You were the one who ordered it! I heard it with my own ears! That day, your son rushed in with a burning piece of coal and tried to burn my face. I blocked it with my hand...but he burned the back of my hand. Then I threw a pillow at him, and he ran out to find you. You asked him if he burned my face, and he said no...and you called him a loser!"
Xu Fengjuan felt a little guilty.
Tang Liren was furious and slapped Xu Fengjuan hard in the face!
“Bang!”
Xu Fengjuan felt that half of her face was numb.
She has never suffered such a loss before! Plus, her husband was right beside her, which gave her endless courage, and she rushed towards Tang Liren waving her claws -
Tang Liren kicked Xu Fengjuan directly on the knee, and Xu Fengjuan's legs went limp and she fell to the ground.
Zhang Zhi said with a forced smile: "Old woman, you are too unreasonable." As he said that, he also came over and tried to push Tang Liren.
However, Zhang Zhifa had just walked up to Tang Liren—
Song Zhi, who was standing aside, kicked Zhang Zhifa in the knee.
Zhang Zhifa was caught off guard and fell to his knees in front of Tang Liren with a thump.
Tang Liren sneered, "It's my fault for not telling you in advance... Who are you to bully my child? You're going to die!"
Then he clenched his fists, opened his hands left and right, and started beating Zhang Zhifa who was kneeling on the ground.
Tang Liren usually works on the farm in the village and can earn 8 work points a day. Her strength is not as good as that of a strong laborer, but it is not much different.
Zhang Zhifa was kneeling on the ground, his calves firmly stepped on by Song Zhi...he couldn't move at all!
In a short while, Zhang Zhifa was beaten black and blue and could only cry out "ouch".
At this time, Manager Xu hurried over.
——Director Chu saw that the situation was not good, so he secretly sent someone to the hospital to call him over.
As soon as Manager Xu entered the hall, his first reaction was: Isn’t today the weekend? Normally, the restaurant's business has been very good recently. Before Chef Qin asked for leave, the business was so hot that latecomers had to wait outside in the cold wind until the guests inside had finished eating before they could come in...
Why are there only two tables of guests in the restaurant at this moment?
Then he saw Tang Liren.
Manager Xu was stunned and quickly greeted, "Hey, Lili's mom, you're here?"
Tang Liren hasn't spoken yet——
Xu Fengjuan repeated her old trick and cried loudly, "Second Uncle! She is bullying me to death... Look at me, and then look at your nephew-in-law! Oh, we can't survive..."
Tang Liren smiled and said to her daughter, "Lili, hurry up and thank Uncle Xu for taking care of you for three months, then go pack your things and we'll leave now."
Xu Fengjuan stopped crying immediately, "You guys want to leave? What do you mean?"
Tang Liren ignored Xu Fengjuan and just urged her daughter, "Lili, hurry up!"
Bai Lili stepped forward and looked at Manager Xu, "Uncle Xu, thank you for taking care of me for the past three months. I'm going home now. Goodbye!"
As she spoke, she bowed to Manager Xu and turned to leave.
Manager Xu was stunned. "Lili, what are you doing..."
Tang Liren took over the topic, "Manager Xu, this is what happened. Your nephew-in-law wanted to harass my daughter. Did you know that?"
Manager Xu was shocked.
Zhang Zhifa howled, "Let go—"
Song Zhi stepped hard on his shin bone and crushed it... Zhang Zhifa swallowed the word "fart" back into his stomach.
Tang Liren continued, "And, Manager Xu, your niece instigated her child to burn my daughter's face with red-hot charcoal, and you definitely don't know about this... Also, your niece just bullied and slandered my daughter in front of me, but as long as you didn't see it with your own eyes, these things...none of them happened, right?"
Manager Xu: “I…”
Xu Fengjuan, "Uncle! How is grandma doing? I was thinking of going to the hospital to see her after work today!"
——She was reminding Manager Xu that she was Old Lady Xu’s most beloved granddaughter!
Manager Xu was not unable to understand what his niece meant, and he also knew the problems of his niece and her husband. But his mother is in the hospital. What if he is too harsh and Xu Fengjuan goes to the hospital to complain to his mother? Do you want to piss his mother off to death?
He was caught in a dilemma: on one side was an important partner of the hotel, and on the other side was his mother's most beloved granddaughter...it would not be appropriate to offend anyone.
However, at this time, Bai Lili came over with a small bag in her arms, "Mom, I want to pack my luggage in front of Xu Fengjuan, so that she won't accuse me of taking collective things again."
Manager Xu, "No, no..."
Bai Lili had already placed her light little bag on the chair, opened it, and shook out the contents: just two or three sets of clothes, plus a few books wrapped in red covers, nothing else.
Bai Lili packed her small bag again, and then said to Manager Xu: "Uncle Xu, you have seen with your own eyes that I have not used a single cent of the collective! If Xu Fengjuan slanders me again, I will not admit it! Since I have proven my innocence, I will report Zhifa and Xu Fengjuan!"
"They stole a lot of collective things. If you don't believe me, go to the room where they live and take a look. They have everything from pressure cookers, pork, chicken, duck, fish, rice, and all kinds of vegetables to small items like honeycomb coal, oil, salt, etc. The variety is much more complete than in the public kitchen! If you don't punish them, are you encouraging other employees to follow their example?"
Zhang Zhifa, "Let go--ouch!" He was stepped on by Song Zhi again!
Xu Fengjuan, "You are messing around--" She saw Tang Liren's sharp eyes and couldn't help but wilted.
Bai Lili said to Tang Liren, "Mom, let's go!"
Tang Liren ordered Taotao, "Taotao, take out our lunch boxes and pack up the unfinished dishes."
Taotao responded, found a few tin lunch boxes from her luggage, and packed food with Cheng Zhujun and Lili. Seeing that half of the steamed egg was eaten, and it was not easy to pack it up, and seeing that Xiao Jiaojiao at the next table couldn't even have rice porridge, she handed the bowl of steamed egg to her, "Sister Mingchun, if you don't mind, give this steamed egg to Jiaojiao."
Dong Mingchun was very grateful, "Thank you!"
After taking the steamed egg, she immediately took the spoon, scooped a spoonful and fed it to Xiao Jiaojiao.
Xiao Jiaojiao was so hungry that she swallowed in big mouthfuls.
Manager Xu saw that Tang Liren and her daughter were determined to leave, and knew that it was a foregone conclusion, so he asked hesitantly, "Mother Lili, then, then the supply and marketing contract between our hotel and Ruyi Village..."
Tang Liren smiled, "I am just a mother who is standing up for my daughter. I have no right to interfere with the supply and marketing contracts of the people's commune. Manager Xu, don't worry!"
That supply and marketing contract concerns the pockets of the entire village, so Tang Liren certainly doesn't want to shake it.
Manager Xu breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I'll pay you Lili's salary later?"
"Okay!" Tang Liren said, "We're staying at the guesthouse. Please send us there tomorrow... It's not that we want to take advantage of it, but it's just that your hotel is so smoky and smelly that I don't like coming here."
Manager Xu smiled bitterly, "Don't worry, I'll deliver it to you personally."
Tang Liren and her group left.
Manager Xu then looked at Director Chu with a sharp look, "What's going on? Why are there only two tables in our restaurant? Shouldn't there be crowds of people at this time of year?"
Director Chu glanced at Xu Fengjuan with an embarrassed look on his face.
He Zhaoguo, who was sitting nearby, had already finished his meal in two or three bites while Tang Liren and Manager Xu were talking. At this moment, he was feeding his daughter steamed egg spoonfully, and asked his wife to eat quickly.
Hearing Manager Xu's question, He Zhaoguo sneered: "Then you have to ask your niece, Manager Xu. With your niece's service attitude, all the diners who came to eat were driven away by her..."
Xu Fengjiao was afraid of Tang Liren because Tang Liren dared to really take action.
Look at this young couple again, both of them look very gentle and refined?
She is afraid of nothing!
Xu Fengjiao cursed: "You two poor fellows! A meal costs less than one dollar and you're still complaining. If you can't afford it, get out..."
Little did they know that when Manager Xu saw He Zhaoguo, his face turned pale, "Oh, Secretary He! Why are you here..."
Xu Fengjiao couldn't stop herself, "... and you still have the nerve to talk nonsense here? You are noble and you are rich, and you only spend 85 cents when you go to a restaurant..."
Manager Xu was so angry that he kicked her and yelled, "Xu Fengjiao, shut up!" He turned to Director Chu and said, "Hurry up and tell this idiot to shut up and get her to the kitchen!"
Xu Fengjiao was stunned, "Second Uncle?"
Director Chu's legs were a little weak, and he asked He Zhaoguo softly, "Secretary He? Are you Secretary He Zhaoguo, who is in charge of the catering and retail service industry of the Municipal Party Committee?"
Xu Fengjiao and Zhang Zhifa were also stunned.
——Is this young man from the Municipal Party Committee? Or a secretary? Usually only the mayor has a secretary! And he is specifically in charge of the catering industry? ? ?
Xu Fengjiao collapsed to the ground with her eyes wide open.
Director Chu called two waiters over and dragged Xu Fengjiao away.
Manager Xu looked embarrassed. "Secretary He, I'm really sorry... I made a fool of myself. I'll fix it right away!"
He Zhaoguo sneered, "I saw the annual report submitted by Manager Xu earlier. It was quite impressive. He also proposed to expand the number of positions. I really thought your hotel's business was so good, but... this is it?"
Manager Xu was anxious. "Secretary He, I didn't lie! Our hotel's business reached its peak in the third quarter, directly surpassing the total sales of the first two quarters..."
He Zhaoguo: "Then please explain——"
Can you explain why the restaurant is so deserted?
Manager Xu turned to Director Chu and asked, "What on earth is going on?"
Director Chu wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Chef Qin and his colleagues took leave to go back to their hometown for the New Year. Cashiers Zhang Li, Li Xiangxiang, and several other employees also took leave. Xu Fengjiao... took over the cashier's job temporarily, and then, and then..."
"What happened then? Tell me quickly!" Manager Xu urged.
Director Chu made up his mind, "Then Xu Fengjiao's attitude was particularly bad. She forced all customers who came to our restaurant to spend more than three or five yuan. If they only spent one or two yuan, she would scold them and sometimes even drive them away... In the first few days, the turnover skyrocketed, but then slowly... no one came anymore."
He Zhaoguo, "Manager Xu, our family of three spent 85 cents in the restaurant today. Your niece scolded me in front of you. Did you hear it clearly?"
Manager Xu felt that a disaster was coming, and he stammered, "Secretary He, she is just a temporary worker..."
He Zhaoguo, "I'll give you a chance to make comprehensive rectifications now. Three days later, the work inspection team will come to inspect your rectification projects. If they can be inspected, that would be the best. If they can't be inspected, then we'll close it. When the rectifications are approved, your restaurant can reopen for business!"
After saying that, he turned around and asked his wife, "Have you finished eating?"
Dong Mingchun nodded, stood up, took Xiao Jiaojiao from his arms, and asked, "Jiaojiao, are you full?"
Xiao Jiaojiao finished half a bowl of steamed egg by herself. She was already full, so she nodded obediently.
He Zhaoguo took the coat for his wife and helped her put it on. He also put on his coat and turned back to Manager Xu and said, "Okay, we're leaving. Thank you for leaving us with a deep impression."
Manager Xu was anxious and chased after him, "Secretary He, please listen to my explanation..."
"No need for that," He Zhaoguo said coldly, "There's no need to dwell on it. If you have a clear conscience, why should you be afraid of the rectification and acceptance?"
He Zhaoguo left with his wife and daughter.
Manager Xu was so angry that his forehead felt swollen and his heart ached.
At this time, Xu Fengjuan hurried in from the back kitchen, "Second Uncle, I am devoted to our restaurant! If you don't believe me, go and look at the report. When I first became a cashier, the turnover in those few days was the best since the establishment of our restaurant. This fully demonstrates my work ability! If the restaurant wants to expand positions, you must consider me..."
Manager Xu was so angry that he slapped him and said, "How dare you mention expanding the position? Now the whole restaurant is going to be ruined by you!"
Xu Fengjuan covered her face, stunned, and murmured: "I am doing this for the good of the restaurant! The days when I collected the money were indeed... when the turnover was the highest!"
Manager Xu cursed, "You are blackmailing the customers! You forced them to spend so much money! Otherwise, how do you explain why there were no customers in the past few days?"
Xu Fengjuan was not convinced. "If those people didn't like to come before, then they shouldn't come. Our hotel is at the train station, and there are a lot of floating population... A hundred passers-by every day are enough..."
"That depends on word of mouth! If our restaurant's reputation is ruined, even passers-by won't come again!" Manager Xu was so angry that he felt dizzy. "You idiot! You caused us to close down and reorganize. Get out of here now and don't do this job anymore!"
Zhang Zhifa came over to smooth things over, "Second Uncle, apologize to Secretary He..."
"Get out of here too!" Manager Xu cursed, "There's no smoke without fire!"
But Tang Li and her group went to the guesthouse and booked two rooms.
Tang Liren immediately asked Bai Lili to take off her coat so that she could be examined.
Bai Lili was wearing tiny clothes and pants, feeling shy and embarrassed.
The girl's fair skin was covered with numerous scars on her back, abdomen and calves, which were large purple patches.
Tang Liren asked, "How did you come up with this?"
Lili, "I was sleeping on my bed in the dormitory, and that bad kid rushed in and beat me with a stick..."
Tang Li was extremely distressed. "Damn it, I really can't get revenge on that kid! I'm so disappointed! If I see Xu Fengjuan and that scumbag again, I will get my money back with interest!"
"Mom, forget it!" Lili was a little depressed, "It's because I'm not good enough that I can't keep this job."
Tang Liren, "Go home! What's wrong with being poor? There's no reason for you to be bullied like this in the new society!"
The mother and daughter just said a few words -
Someone suddenly called Bai Lili's name downstairs?
The mothers were startled.
White pears in particular.
She quickly put on her clothes...
Taotao ran out and saw that it was Dong Mingchun standing downstairs of the guesthouse calling them.
The mother and her friends hurried downstairs again.
Song Zhi, who lived in the next room, followed silently.
TV was being broadcast in the guesthouse's dining hall, and many guests were gathered around the TV to watch it.
He Zhaoguo was holding Xiao Jiaojiao and sitting in the last row. When he saw Tang Liren and her daughter coming over, he quickly greeted them, "Good evening, Auntie. Hello, Bai Lili, Hello, Bai Taotao..." Then he saw Song Zhi and didn't know how to address him, so he nodded, "Hello!"
Several people sat down.
He Zhaoguo said to Tang Liren guiltily: "I know that this matter is actually the fault of the restaurant. Sister Bai Lili lost her job just for making a bowl of porridge for our little Jiaojiao...Auntie, I'm so sorry!"
Tang Liren, "It's okay! We can go home and farm the same way!"
He Zhaoguo said: "In fact, I believe that they don't have ready-made white porridge in the kitchen. After all, not many people eat white porridge at dinner time. If they are a little nicer, I can change the dish."
"But sister Bai Lili can make a bowl of porridge in such a short time. One reason is that she has excellent cooking skills and the other is her strong adaptability... So I want to ask, Bai Lili, are you willing to work at the Municipal Party Committee's Guest House?" He Zhaoguo asked.
Everyone was stunned!
"Municipal Government Guest House?" Tang Liren asked.
——When I hear the name of this reception hall, I know it’s of a higher level than a guesthouse!
Thinking that Bai Lili and the others had left early, and wondering how Shi Heguo had reprimanded Manager Xu, Dong Mingchun briefly introduced, "My wife works at the Municipal Party Committee, and happens to be familiar with the catering and retail industries. She knows that the Municipal Party Committee's Guest House will expand its recruitment next year."
The He couple saw the character of Bai Lili and Xu Fengjuan.
What made them feel guilty was that Bai Lili lost her job because she made a bowl of porridge for them.
So the couple decided to tell Bai Lili about the job recruitment at the Municipal Party Committee Guest House. Whether Bai Lili could be selected would depend on her own ability.
He Zhaoguo nodded and said, "After the beginning of spring, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the Guest House will open recruitment to the public. They are looking for temporary workers. There are many types of jobs, including waiters, consultants, and room attendants. But I think Bai Lili can apply for the position of chef. However, I am only providing this information to you. You still have to go to the interview and strive for it yourself."
Bai Lili was stunned, "Can I?"
He Zhaoguo smiled and said, "I don't know if you can do it, you have to ask yourself. Of course, if you can only cook some home-cooked dishes, then your chances of winning may not be great, but if you have skills that others don't have... maybe you can be selected?"
He Zhaoguo then comforted Bai Lili, "Don't worry, it seems that we are recruiting four chefs this time... Besides, if you are not selected, just think of it as a trip to the city!"
Dong Mingchun enthusiastically took Bai Lili's hand and said, "It's okay. I will also be transferred to the Municipal Party Committee in the spring of next year. Let's make an appointment... Recruitment will be on the eighth day of the first lunar month, so you can arrive on the seventh day, okay? I'll pick you up at the train station! Then you can stay at my house temporarily. If everything goes well and you are admitted on the eighth day of the first lunar month, you can move directly to the assigned dormitory. If you are not admitted, I will accompany you for two days..."
Bai Lili was very hesitant and looked at Tang Liren.
Tang Liren also fell into an inner struggle - with such a good opportunity, of course she wanted to agree. But they had never met He Zhaoguo and his wife before. Lili just kept her heart and cooked a bowl of porridge for Xiao Jiaojiao, but before Xiao Jiaojiao could eat it, Xu Fengjuan splashed it...
Tao Tao said loudly: "Okay! It's settled!"
He Zhaoguo and Dong Mingchun looked at each other with relief on their faces - no matter whether this matter succeeded or not, they at least had a chance to make amends.
At that moment, Tang Liren and Dong Mingchun made an appointment to meet at the Municipal Party Committee Railway Station on the seventh day of the first lunar month.
Taotao hurried back to the room upstairs, found something in her luggage, and ran downstairs quickly again.
He Zhaoguo and Dong Mingchun were holding Xiao Jiaojiao and were about to say goodbye...
Tao Tao quickly said, "Xiao Jiaojiao, can I give you a gift?"
As she spoke, she handed over a pair of goose yellow knitted hooded scarf gloves.
——This was written by Taotao for Cheng Zhuping. Firstly, it was to thank Cheng Zhujun for taking care of her family and paying attention to the business. Secondly, she felt that Cheng Zhuping had just recovered from a serious illness, so it would be better to pay more attention to his health and not let him be neglected.
Cheng Zhuping is six years old this year. He is thin because of long-term illness. So Taotao chose a tender light yellow color, which would be fine as a gift for Xiao Jiaojiao. Let’s go back and rush to make one more set to give to Cheng Zhuping.
Dong Mingchun quickly declined, "Oh, no need..."
But little Jiaojiao liked the tender goose yellow color very much, so she reached out her little hand and grabbed it.
Taotao opened the hooded scarf glove with a smile and helped Xiao Jiaojiao put it on.
It's still a little big, but it covers up Xiao Jiaojiao's sparse hair, making the little girl look even prettier.
Taotao told Dong Mingchun that he could make some changes here and there so that the scarf would fit better and little Jiaojiao would feel more comfortable.
Dong Mingchun looked at the delicate little mittens and was delighted. "Taotao, you have really clever hands!"
Taotao pursed her lips and smiled.
Mr. He and his wife left with their children.
The mother and her friends sat in the canteen of the guesthouse and discussed the matter.
Tang Liren, "Since we are here, let's do some New Year shopping tomorrow and go back the day after tomorrow!"
Bai Lili, "I'll go to the bus station to meet people tomorrow morning. If you know anyone, please tell them to take a message home. Don't let dad and the others worry about me!"
Bai Taotao, "By the way, tell our family that we'll be back the day after tomorrow, and ask sister-in-law and Xingxing to pick us up at the bus stop when we get there!"
Tang Liren, "I gave some rice to your uncle this year. They're not well off, but we won't have enough to eat next year. Why don't we buy some rice in the city? It's cheaper and fresher now than later!"
