Chapter 434 Tie Niu Gets Beaten Up
As night fell, the chirping of insects filled the air.
Wan Qiqi sat in the main room, settling the accounts for the food deliveries over the past few months.
Tie Niu and Er Pang were pushing and shoving each other at the door, wanting to come in but not daring to.
"Go away, Sister Qi will definitely get angry if she sees me now." Tie Niu pushed Er Pang inside.
"Let's go together and say some nice things. Sister Qi definitely won't hold it against you." Erpang pulled Tie Niu, trying to pull him inside.
The two were making a lot of noise, which made Wan Qiqi's calculations chaotic. She simply put down her pen and said to the door, "If you have something to say, come in and talk. Don't disturb the child's homework by making noise at the door."
Erpang immediately stood up straight, grabbed Tie Niu, and walked inside.
He chuckled and said to Wan Qiqi, "Sister Qi, we really didn't mean to today. I just didn't expect someone to disguise themselves as a man and sneak into the restaurant. I was afraid they were bad guys..."
“You’ve already apologized, it’s alright.” Wan Qiqi looked up at him seriously and said, “Your observation is very keen, but you must remember to use these strengths where they are useful, such as when entertaining guests…”
She earnestly explained to Erpang his strengths and what he could do, how to understand customers' preferences, how to retain customers, and how to earn higher wages through the restaurant's welfare system.
Erpang was stunned.
He never expected it could be like this; it was as if a new world had been opened up.
Tie Niu stood to the side, head bowed in silence, a hint of anxiety in his expression.
"Tie Niu, do you know where your problem lies?" Wan Qiqi suddenly asked.
Tie Niu suddenly looked up, uncertainly saying, "Shouldn't I have targeted Sixi? But I was also afraid she was a bad person who would ruin the restaurant's business..."
Wan Qiqi did not rush to answer Tie Niu's question, but asked, "In the days since you started spending time with Sixi, has she done anything that would be detrimental to the restaurant?"
Tie Niu thought for a moment, then shook his head and replied, "No."
Not only did he not participate, but he also actively participated in every event, earning the restaurant a good reputation.
Whenever he sees someone else encountering a problem, Sixi will lend a helping hand.
Compared to the others, Sixi was almost the employee that the two managers could trust the most.
“We’ve seen everything you’ve done. We know perfectly well who’s good and who’s bad.” Wan Qiqi raised her eyes and looked at Tie Niu seriously. “Do you know what will happen to you if you bring people to surround Si Xi today and actually attack her?”
Tie Niu paused for a moment, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Then, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he asked uncertainly, "Kick me out of the restaurant?"
"This restaurant is like a big family. What I want to see is mutual help and support, not mutual suspicion. Even if Sixi is a woman, so what? Does that mean she does a worse job than any of you?"
Wan Qiqi sighed and said, "I don't want the restaurant to argue about men and women anymore."
Tie Niu understood Wan Qiqi's meaning, but not her words. He said, "Sister Qi, since ancient times, restaurants have never hired women. Isn't that an unspoken rule?"
“Rules are made by people. Since there is no explicit law saying that women are not allowed to do business or work outside, why is everyone targeting women?” Wan Qiqi still held her opinion.
She was well aware that these people had been instilled with the idea that women were inferior to men since childhood, and it was almost impossible to change their minds with just a few words.
Tie Niu was clearly deeply affected.
But this does not mean that Tie Niu's behavior today can be understood.
Instigating one's colleagues to gang up on another is a shameful act, regardless of the reason.
Wan Qiqi rubbed her fingertips, a hint of coldness in her eyes, and said, "Tie Niu, Er Pang, you are people brought out by Gou Sheng, so you are also my own people. Even if I fire others, I don't want to fire you."
"But you must know that you are my people, and many of your actions represent me, so I will be even stricter with you."
Her gaze swept over the two men, and she said coldly, "This is the first time today. I don't want it to happen again. If you do it again, please go back to the village."
"What I need are people with a long-term vision to grow and expand the restaurant with me. Now it's in the town, later it's in the county, the prefecture, or even the capital. If you can't discipline yourselves, then you'll only reach this point..."
Wan Qiqi's words kept echoing in their ears.
They knew that Manager Wan had lofty ambitions, but they never expected her goals to be so ambitious.
The capital city was a place they had never even dreamed of visiting.
Or rather, leaving Yunhe County was something they never even dared to think about.
When Wu Gousheng returned home, he saw his two underlings sitting on the bed, looking distracted. He went over and sat down, intending to teach them a lesson about what had happened that day.
Although he is still far behind Wan Qiqi, he is capable enough to educate Tie Niu and Er Pang.
He leaned against the bed, one arm resting on his knee, and tilted his head as he asked, "Tell me about what happened today."
Their fear of Wan Qiqi contrasted with their greater affection for Wu Gousheng, and they recounted the events and their thoughts in detail.
"Brother Gousheng, I just want the restaurant to be good. If word gets out that a woman has infiltrated the restaurant, it will affect its reputation!" Tie Niu said righteously, completely forgetting what Wan Qiqi had originally said.
"Tie Niu, I think there's nothing wrong with Sixi except that she's a woman." Erpang somewhat disagreed with Tie Niu's words.
For him, it doesn't really matter whether it's a man or a woman.
The women he knows all seem to be quite capable.
At least he's better!
"But it's precisely because she's a woman!" Tie Niu shouted.
