Chapter 429 Chen Yongnian Skips Work
The sun slowly climbed into the sky.
Wan Qiqi arrived at Xinglong Restaurant at 9:45 AM.
It was 10:40 AM, the second quarter of the hour of Si (巳时二刻), which was Wan Qiqi's start time for work.
But by this point, she had actually done a lot.
For example, you could go to the town entrance to collect a batch of wild vegetables and earn a net profit of eight or nine hundred coins.
For example, I could meet with Uncle Xiang and hear about what's been happening in Yunhe County lately.
For example, he met Feng Qing, a distant cousin introduced by Feng Gan.
This is a fifteen-year-old boy, of average height and build, with an ordinary appearance—the kind of person you wouldn't notice in a crowd.
But he has bright eyes and always has a gentle smile on his face.
When Wan Qiqi first saw him, she really couldn't see how he resembled a relative of the Feng family; he didn't look like someone from a wealthy family at all.
However, it's hard to say whether distant relatives are from wealthy families.
Wan Qiqi was somewhat surprised. Feng Qing looked too clean, so clean that she would unconsciously lower her guard.
So she almost changed her mind on the spot and refused to let this person go back to the restaurant with her.
Feng Qing followed Wan Qiqi into the restaurant, curiously looking around as if everything here was new and exciting to him.
He wasn't intimidated by the stares of the other guys; instead, he smiled at those who were looking at him.
Zhu Chengye frowned slightly as he looked at the person Wan Qiqi led in, and asked in a deep voice, "Is it him?"
“Yes, Feng Qing.” Wan Qiqi looked around and waved to Tie Niu, saying, “Tie Niu, take him with you when you deliver meals these next two days, so he can get familiar with the restaurant environment.”
Tie Niu seemed somewhat reluctant, and said with his head down, "Yes, Manager Wan."
Zhu Chengye quickly comforted Tie Niu, saying, "Manager Wan asked you to bring in the new people, which shows she trusts you and that you're doing a great job in her eyes. Otherwise, why would she give you this job..."
His words gradually made Tie Niu lose himself, and he happily agreed to the matter.
Wan Qiqi's lips twitched.
Is this workplace PUA?
She had to admit that Zhu Chengye's method was very effective for his employees.
However, compared to Sixi, she felt that Sixi actually did a better job.
But since the people he brought were Feng Gan's men, she felt that Tie Niu would be more suitable.
After Zhu Chengye finished giving his instructions and watched Tie Niu lead his men away, he noticed Wan Qiqi staring at him. "Is there a problem with what I said?"
"No, I just think Brother Zhu is really amazing." Wan Qiqi tilted her head and grinned, saying, "I have to go out for a bit later, and I might have to ask Brother Zhu for help at the restaurant!"
"Go ahead and get busy!" Although Zhu Chengye didn't know what Wan Qiqi was busy with all day, he knew that what she did was good for the restaurant, so he didn't interfere.
Wan Qiqi didn't concern herself with Zhu Chengye's whereabouts or who he met.
After leaving the restaurant, Wan Qiqi walked into the alley.
She still needs to discuss some of the things Uncle Xiang mentioned today with him in detail; it's not appropriate to talk about them on the street.
Therefore, she decided to go to Uncle Xiang's place to get to the bottom of things.
The alley was deserted, with only a figure in a blue robe swaying in the wind.
After walking around several corners, Wan Qiqi felt that something was not right.
She suddenly stopped, lowered her eyes, and quietly held the dagger she had bought in the mall in her hand.
She won't hurt people indiscriminately, but that doesn't mean she can't protect herself when in danger.
The person following them seemed to be skilled in martial arts, as their footsteps were extremely light.
However, Wan Qiqi is extremely vigilant when she is alone. Even the slightest disturbance will make her alert.
She cherished her life more than anyone else.
It was another alleyway entrance. Ahead was the shortest road leading to Uncle Xiang's house, and to the right was the market street.
Although there aren't many people on this street, there are always people on it at any time.
She bit her lower lip and turned to walk to the right.
She had only taken two steps when a hand suddenly landed on Wan Qiqi's shoulder.
As the wind blew through the long alley, she heard the clanging of weapons behind her.
Wan Qiqi gripped the dagger tightly, turning around cautiously and warily.
The other party simply put their hand on the shoulder and didn't make a move, indicating that there was room for negotiation.
Turning around and taking a closer look, she released the dagger and punched the man in the chest, yelling, "You scared me to death! You wanted to scare me to death, did you marry someone new?"
"I..." Chen Yongnian pouted, looking aggrieved, and whispered in protest, "I didn't."
He had intended to surprise his wife, but he disappeared as soon as he entered the alley!
Several times, he would see someone, only to have them disappear around a corner, which frightened him so much that he thought something had happened to Wan Qiqi and rushed to chase after her.
Who would have thought that the dignified Chen Guannian couldn't even catch his own wife?
This can't really be blamed on Chen Yongnian; it's just that Wan Qiqi has gotten used to wandering around the alleys lately.
Because of her job delivering food, she would spend her free time following Uncle Xiang's men around the alleys, just to find the right route.
In just a few days, she had explored almost every street and alley in Hefeng Town thoroughly.
Wan Qiqi knew he didn't do it on purpose; it was just that she was too insecure.
She let out a long sigh, walked past Chen Yongnian, and asked, "Why are you back? And you're still wearing official clothes."
Chen Yongnian was dressed in the official robes, with a black cloak over them.
The sound of weapons that Wan Qiqi heard was the sound of Chen Yongnian's sword.
"I came back to take a look." Chen Yongnian turned around, took two steps to Wan Qiqi's side, and walked alongside her. "It's not time for my rest yet, so I have to rush back later."
Wan Qiqi paused, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
