Chapter 768 Dividing Profits After the Argument
Wan Qiqi's reprimand made the veteran employees feel as if they had returned to the heyday of Xinglong Restaurant.
They miss the days when Wan Qiqi spent her days managing the restaurant.
Because as long as Wan Qiqi is there, even the biggest trouble can be easily solved.
The restaurant staff were all busy with their work and dared not utter a word of idle chatter.
But ever since Wan Qiqi started coming to the restaurant less often, the waiters have become lazy and gradually lost their enthusiasm.
They could clearly feel that the current Xinglong Restaurant was not as good as the previous one.
But the new employees liked the restaurant's treatment and the relaxed atmosphere.
All they saw in Wan Qiqi was the airs of a county magistrate's wife and her stern reprimands.
Compared to Zhu Chengye, they felt that Wan Qiqi was just a woman who only knew how to boss people around and had no real skills.
Given the other party's status, they couldn't say anything.
Wan Qiqi observed the performance of both the veteran and new employees but didn't say much.
After she had said everything she needed to say, she dismissed everyone so they could go about their business.
She walked from the backyard to the front hall to check on the restaurant's business.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw the person standing in front of the counter, and my eyes immediately dimmed.
At the same time, the people at the counter also saw her, their eyes slightly evasive.
Zhu Youcai, who was standing in front of the counter, and Erpang, who was standing near the counter, both sensed that the atmosphere between the two was not right.
"Brother, could you take a look at this account?" Zhu Youcai, holding the account book, pulled Zhu Chengye behind the counter.
Even when Zhu Chengye was pulled behind the counter, he wasn't looking at the ledgers, but at Wan Qiqi in the distance.
"Sister Qi, do you think there's something wrong with how these things are arranged?" Erpang blocked Wan Qiqi's view, trying to change the subject.
"How can you manage things if you can't even see something like this?"
Wan Qiqi's tone turned cold. She ignored Erpang and walked past him toward Zhu Chengye.
She stopped in front of the counter and asked coldly, "Where did you just go?"
Zhu Chengye lowered his eyes, staring at the ledger. "Just because you're not in the restaurant doesn't mean I can't go out and do business?"
His tone wasn't very pleasant either, and even carried a hint of resentment.
"Of course you can go out, but who are you going out with? Do you know what just happened at the restaurant?" Wan Qiqi questioned in a low voice.
You could see her brows were furrowed and her eyes had turned cold.
"And who are you with? Are you managing the restaurant?" Zhu Chengye asked in return.
The atmosphere in the hall grew increasingly oppressive, making the seated guests at the tables also feel uneasy.
Erpang and Zhu Youcai exchanged a glance and quickly pulled the two of them towards the backyard.
At times like this, if the two owners start arguing, and there are customers watching, it can have a significant impact on the restaurant.
And so, the two of them reluctantly moved from the hall to the backyard.
Wan Qiqi shook off Erpang's hand and said coldly, "Go do your thing, I know my limits!"
This was the first time Erpang had ever seen Wan Qiqi so angry. He was a little scared, but he didn't dare to disobey Wan Qiqi's orders.
Zhu Youcai glanced at it a few times and then followed Erpang outside.
He wanted to know what had happened, but he didn't dare to ask.
“Brother Zhu, I told you before that I would give you the management rights of the restaurant, and I would also give you a share of the profits…”
Before Wan Qiqi could finish speaking, Zhu Chengye interrupted her.
"Give it to me? I'll be just like any other shopkeeper, managing the restaurant for you and doing your bidding!"
Zhu Chengye sneered twice, "Yes, Wan Qiqi, you are capable. Without you, I, Zhu Chengye, could not have gotten to where I am today. But I am the big boss, not a waiter managing your restaurant!"
He spoke quite loudly, drawing some people out from the kitchen, but no one dared to step forward to persuade him.
Lei Zi rushed over upon hearing the noise, wanting to ask what had happened, but was scared away by a glare from Wan Qiqi.
Wan Qiqi looked at Zhu Chengye and gave a self-deprecating smile, "Is this how you view our relationship?"
Her eyes held disbelief, tinged with sadness.
"Isn't that right? Am I any different from the other shop owners?" Zhu Chengye retorted angrily.
He didn't want to argue with Wan Qiqi, but when he heard her ask where he was going, he felt very unhappy.
If the other party can discuss cooperation with others behind my back, why can't I go out and do it?
“Brother Zhu, in my heart, you have always been different from them, so I wanted to cooperate with you to open Xinglong Restaurant all over the country, but I never expected that you would think this way!”
Wan Qiqi lowered her head, her emotions unreadable.
“Yes, I am a business partner in one of your many businesses, and Xiao Da is another business partner. You take money from both sides and make the most money, right?” Zhu Chengye asked.
"Yes, so what? I do business to make money. I'll do whatever makes money. Is there a conflict between me partnering with you on a restaurant business and with others on other businesses? You can partner with others and open other shops if you want, and I won't have any objections!"
Wan Qiqi answered seriously.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
As long as there is no conflict, these businesses can even form an industrial chain, helping each other.
However, Zhu Chengye couldn't hear Wan Qiqi's subsequent explanation; he simply assumed that Wan Qiqi admitted to cooperating with Xiao Han to open a shop.
He initially thought that Tang Qiwen's words were just to deceive him and sow discord between him and Wan Qiqi.
But now it seems that it was all true, and I was just too stupid!
"Wan Qiqi, I've worked so hard to run this restaurant, and you're thinking of partnering with others? How can you do this to me?"
