Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 980: Chapter 575_3

”Hello, Supervisor Li.” Zhu Xiaoxue smiled politely, ”I think you might have misunderstood something; I’m just here for a job interview.”

”Job interview?” Li Cuiming laughed sarcastically, ”Barely here yet, and you’re already instigating our family’s younger brother to give you authority. If that’s not a vixen, what is it?

I think you’re here for the job as a pretense; you’re really trying to take over. Did you hear that our younger brother isn’t married yet and have some ideas in mind? I say, what’s with women these days, not putting effort themselves but dreaming of marrying rich for a comfortable life? Younger brother, are you really willing to be used like this?”

”Sister-in-law!” Lin Jinguang’s face darkened, ”Old Sichuan Restaurant has evolved to this day, with a bunch of staffing issues. Given our scale, attracting someone like Miss Zhu, who comes from a formal educational background in management, isn’t easy. Do you really have to meddle until things are ruined to be content?

Indeed, if it weren’t for my brother, maybe there wouldn’t be Old Sichuan Restaurant. But that doesn’t mean that everything has to be done according to your way, ultimately leading to its downfall due to personnel issues. I believe if that really happened, my brother would struggle to rest in peace!”

”Younger brother, what do you mean?” Li Cuiming pointed at Lin Jinguang, ”Are you implying if I continue staying at Old Sichuan, it will collapse?

Younger brother, you’re really something. Yesterday, you drove Wang Liang out; today, you’re pondering driving me out. Do you want me to list all the employees related to our family and drive them all out?”

”I think this is a good approach.” Zhu Xiaoxue chuckled, ”Supervisor Li, usually according to TV drama tropes, you’d come over like this to stir things up, and I should angrily say a few words and walk away, right?

But I’m different; originally, I was hesitant about getting involved in this mess. Thanks to your stirring, I’ve made up my mind to stay at Old Sichuan.

Whether it’s for the people or the job, time will tell the answer. And of course, I won’t deny that in the end, I might get both!”

”You... you...” Li Cuiming’s lips trembled with anger, ”Younger brother, see, the vixen’s tail is showing. Tell me, what’s your choice?”

”I really admire Miss Zhu’s straightforward personality...” Lin Jinguang smiled, reached out his hand to Zhu Xiaoxue, ”Mr. Zhu, welcome to Old Sichuan!”

”Thank you!” The two hands clasped tightly together.

Li Cuiming felt a blackness before her eyes, her body falling backward...

...

Luo Ye was preparing debate topics in the dormitory when Sang Cao cheerfully peeked in: ”Luoluo, Zhu Dashuai is inviting you; he’s waiting downstairs.”

Luo Ye handed the notebook to Xing Nong: ”Qiu’er, I’ve sorted this out here, help me a bit.” Then she slapped Yaoguang, ”Yao Yao, take a look and help.”

Yaoguang pushed her: ”Got it, go quickly.”

”Luoluo, sorry to bother you again.” As soon as Luo Ye exited the building door, Zhu Jiangyu greeted her with an apologetic expression.

”No need to be so polite with me, what’s up, just say it straight.” Luo Ye pointed to the seats in front, ”Let’s go over there, it’s sheltered from the wind.”

”Alright.” Zhu Jiangyu led the way, sat down, thought for a moment about his wording, and said: ”There are two things, let’s start with the simpler one. My previous job at Old Sichuan Restaurant...”

After Zhu Jiangyu finished explaining about Xiao Yue’s situation, Luo Ye nodded: ”No problem, Xiao Yue’s parents can help out in the logistics.”

”Thanks, Luoluo. The second thing is a bit more troublesome.” Zhu Jiangyu scratched his head, ”Wasn’t my cousin saying that he’d introduce my cousin sister to Old Sichuan?

On my day off yesterday, I went to see Mr. Lin, and my cousin sister happened to be there for some business, so I invited her to meet with Mr. Lin. But then, Mr. Lin’s sister-in-law came looking for him; they crossed paths, and without asking, she cursed my cousin sister as a vixen.

My cousin sister, her personality is different from most; the more challenging things are, the more she faces them head-on. The result was that she angered Mr. Lin’s sister-in-law to the point of fainting.

After checking at the hospital, it was acute myocardial infarction. Fortunately, timely resuscitation saved her, but Mr. Lin, pressured, thought about not letting my cousin sister go to Old Sichuan.

But my cousin has a stubborn streak; she insists that Mr. Lin is wrong to indulge his family members and persists on working at Old Sichuan, even at the cost of paying Qilin Hotel a five thousand yuan penalty for breaching the contract, and she wants to leave Qilin and head to Old Sichuan from today.

Mr. Lin has no way around it, asking me to persuade my sister, but how could I possibly convince her? Ah, I am truly distressed now, and I’ve no choice but to ask for your help.” (To be continued.
