Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 567: Chapter 567 Royal Kinsmen and Nobles

Cheng Su led Qi Fenglian to first check out the shop at the train station to get a feel for the layout and environment, so she’d have a clear idea in her mind.

The train station was always bustling with people coming and going, especially after the New Year. Although the Lantern Festival hadn’t passed yet, those who worked in the city were gradually returning, making the streets busy and lively.

Opening the door to the shop, the smell of new renovations hit them in the face, everything was sparkling clean, and it was hard to discern any remnants of the past. Moreover, the walls were deliberately painted a clean and comfortable-looking ivory purple.

Qi Fengping, considering that someone had died in the shop, felt somewhat uneasy, entering hesitantly with a sense of discomfort. But seeing how Cheng Su didn’t mind at all and seemed quite at ease, she gradually relaxed.

After looking around, she didn’t find anything concerning. After all, with the constant flow of people outside and it being broad daylight, what was there to be afraid of?

She hadn’t done anything to feel guilty about, so there was even less reason to be afraid.

”This shop’s location looks pretty good, it’s all people,” Qi Fengping observed the surroundings and commented.

”That’s exactly what caught my eye, can’t really lose out on this spot. Otherwise, do you think I would sincerely buy a shop with such a history? I’m not a fool,” Cheng Su said with a laugh.

Qi Fengping retorted, ”You’re just fearless.”

But if she weren’t fearless, could her sister-in-law have built the business up to this level?

After checking out the shop, Cheng Su took her to Joy Soon Loy Restaurant and discussed various matters about the restaurant along the way.

”...You’re new here and you haven’t worked in this industry before. You need to observe more, learn more, listen more, and think more. If you don’t understand something, ask, ask several times if you have to. In service, you need to have eyes all around and ears open to everything; your mind must be detailed, you must grasp the subtle aspects, and of course, a smile is very important,” she explained.

Listening to her guidance, Qi Fenglian nodded and asked, ”You suggest a suitable place where I can rent a house. When your brother-in-law arrives, it’ll be good to have a place to stay as well. It’s not too convenient living at your place.”

Renting a house was indeed necessary, as there was only so much space at home. Although they could fit another bed in the guest room, it would be too cramped. Besides, living together as two couples would be awkward no matter how you looked at it.

If Qi Fenglian hadn’t brought it up, Cheng Su had already planned to find them a place to rent. Now that she had mentioned it herself, it would be even easier to arrange.

”I will ask around and rent a place as soon as I find something suitable,” Cheng Su said with a smile.

As they were talking, they arrived at the restaurant. It was almost eleven o’clock, and it was time to prepare for the lunch service. Everyone was busy getting ready, and they all greeted Cheng Su with a smile when they saw her come in.

With the customers not yet arrived, Cheng Su took the opportunity to gather everyone and introduce Qi Fenglian to the group.

Qi Fenglian had been to the restaurant before, the veteran employees knew she was Cheng Su’s elder sister, and found her easy to talk to, so they all showed goodwill.

Qi Fenglian knew how to speak diplomatically and told everyone, ”I’m joining Joy Soon Loy from today. Although I’ll be working at a different branch, I’m still your colleague for the day. I don’t know much, so I hope you won’t think me clumsy and can offer me guidance. If there’s anything I do wrong, please point it out.”

Cheng Su also took the opportunity to speak a few words on her behalf, to which everyone naturally responded.

But when Cheng Su took Qi Fenglian around to familiarize her with the environment, they whispered, ”Elder Sister, a member of the royal kinsmen and nobles, everyone, be careful not to give her any leverage!”

”It shouldn’t come to that. President Cheng is quite fair and progressive, I don’t think she’d show favoritism,” someone said.

That person replied, ”Even the fingers on a hand have different lengths, let alone a heart that tends to favor one side. If you’re just bluffing with blind optimism, be careful in case someone reports you.”

Qiulan, who was listening on the side, said, ”Stop talking about that. Just focus on doing your own job, and don’t go spreading rumors. Let’s get ready for the service.”

The crowd dispersed.
