Rebirth and Raising a Baby

Later, it was mostly Sister Mei who was talking, while Lin Ling and Chu Yi were listening.

There is no need for them to express their opinions and feelings, as long as they listen silently, it will be the greatest help to Sister Mei.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the office door.

At this time, Sister Mei had finished speaking and paused for a while.

Just broke the silence in the room.

"Come in!"

Miss Mei spoke.

The door was pushed open.

It was Lao Xu who came in.

That middle-aged man is also in charge of financial statistics in the store.

As soon as he saw Sister Mei, he swallowed his throat and said nervously: "Sister Mei, I have already recorded my salary."

"let it go!"

Miss Mei's attitude was flat.

Old Xu stood still, holding the account book in his hand.

"Well, sister Mei, when will the salary be paid?"

Old Xu bit the bullet and opened his mouth.

Sister Mei suddenly became furious, and suddenly raised her head to look over, "Old Xu, you have been with me all these years, have I not treated you badly?"

"My sister Mei has always been trustworthy in life. I will pay the salary as I said, and I will definitely pay it to you!"

After so many years of veteran employees, now they are chasing after themselves for wages, especially in front of two juniors, which makes Sister Mei feel a little ashamed.

Even though she had already told her all these years of experience just now, Sister Mei was still very annoyed that the scene made her lose face like this.

Old Xu clenched his fists.

He hesitated for a while before speaking.

"Sister Mei, I didn't mean that. It's because my son is going to marry a wife recently, and the woman wants a dowry. I'm in a hurry to use the money!"

Miss Mei was silent for a while.

He took a deep look at Old Xu.

"Are you sure you want to go?"

"Well, my son is planning to open a stall, so let me go over and help him." Old Xu said with an embarrassed face, feeling that he had no confidence.

"How much labor will I send you?"

Sister Mei asked one more question.

As soon as these words came out, Lao Xu lowered his face so that he couldn't see his expression.

Silent is better than sound.

Sister Mei forced the corners of her lips to curl up, and persuaded earnestly: "When you are still working hard at your age, don't put all the responsibility on your son."

"It's better to find a job by yourself. If your son's job fails, it won't affect the life of the family."

"Miss Mei!"

Old Xu finally couldn't help interrupting.

said coldly.

"This is my own family business, so I won't bother you!"

Sister Mei took a deep breath, "Okay, I'm busy."

Smiling mockingly, Sister Mei turned to the desk and opened the drawer.

He took out two wads of money and threw them on the table.

Make a sound.

"Is this enough?"

Sister Mei looked at him with a half-smile.

Surprise, astonishment, shame, anger and other expressions flashed across Lao Xu's face, and he looked at Sister Mei with a very complicated expression.

Sister Mei knew it well, and immediately saw through the reason for Lao Xu's change of attitude.

She delayed paying this month's salary for a week because she was looking for a designer and wanted to redecorate the restaurant. She was worried that the budget was not enough, so she delayed it.

Unexpectedly, Lao Xu and others thought they were smart.

She has always paid her salary on time, and it will be paid in advance when there are holidays.

This time, the salary was not paid for a long time, and coupled with the change in the previous marriage, Lao Xu and others thought that she could not afford the salary.

Old Xu had a mental struggle, whether to admit his mistake with Sister Mei and continue to stay in the store, or to let his mistake go and leave. Finally, what Sister Mei said just now flashed in his mind.

Finally he reached out to take it.

"Wait!"

Sister Mei stopped it.

Old Xu looked at her warily.

"There are too many of these, go and call other people over, line up outside, and I'll send them out one by one!"

Sister Mei suddenly became a little interested, wanting to see how these people thought she couldn't afford the money, but instead got slapped in the face.

It must be fun!
In the past, the salary was paid by Lao Xu, but this time she suddenly wanted to pay the money herself.

Old Xu took a deep breath and walked out patiently.

After a while, there was a restless footstep outside.

Others whispered.

"Can the proprietress really send out the salary?"

"I feel like hanging, will you call us in later, you have to talk to us, let us wait for the salary first."

"Brother Xu said he saw the money, so it shouldn't be fake."

"That's hard to say. We all listen to Brother Xu. What if the lady boss only sends it to Brother Xu and asks him to keep us safe?"

"Brother Xu is such a nice person, how can you miss him so much?"

"Tch, it's not the same as a part-time worker"

"Hey, why are you arguing about this? The point now is can the proprietress really pay the salary?"

"Speaking of which, the proprietress doesn't look like she has no money. Recently, she has been buying decoration books everywhere."

"When did you see it? Why didn't I know?"

"Hey, don't you think the proprietress is always walking around the store, looking at the doors and windows, and occasionally taking measurements with a ruler. Doesn't it really look like she's selling the store?"

"No way? The business in our store is very good!"

"Tch, no matter how powerful the proprietress is, she is still a woman, and now men don't want her, what a shame! Maybe she wants to change her life again?"

"Hey, I just want to get my salary now, and I can hardly afford food."

"No way, what about your previous salary?"

"I gave it to my boyfriend last month. He said that he was short of money for business. He originally thought that he would be able to relax after paying his salary this month."

Not long after, Lao Xu came out.

His face was blue and white, and he couldn't tell what mood he was in.

The discussion suddenly fell silent.

Everyone looked at each other.

"go in!"

Old Xu pondered for a long time before speaking to the young man behind him.

After saying that, he left.

Let another round of discussion erupt behind you.

"Brother Xu looks so pale!"

"Really, it's the first time I saw his expression so stinky."

"Did the lady boss deduct his salary?"

"No way, if even Brother Xu's salary is deducted, can we still get the money?"

"Hey, let's see it later!"

Not long after, the guy who had just entered also came out.

His expression was very complicated. Facing the expectant eyes of everyone, he just shook his head in embarrassment and left.

This made everyone even more curious.

It wasn't until they all entered the office that they realized why their colleagues had the same expressions just now.

"Sister Mei, you, if you have money to pay your salary, why didn't you say so earlier?"

A little girl couldn't help but ask.

If it wasn't for Sister Mei who didn't pay her salary and acted very anxious, they wouldn't feel uneasy and thought of leaving.

After all, Sister Mei was very punctual in paying her salary before, and never withheld it.

Owners of other restaurants may not be able to do this
"Of course I have arrangements."

Sister Mei smiled coldly: "I said before that the salary payment will be postponed. But I also said that if you need it urgently, you can ask me to advance it."

In fact, thinking about it now, the sum of this salary is not much.

But it was this little money that allowed her to see another face of the employees.

It turned out that the affection she thought was worthless!
Since they were leaving, Sister Mei didn't say much.

Let the little girl be at a loss and let her go out.

Everyone's salary has been paid.

Sister Mei also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let you see a joke!"

Sister Mei smiled relievedly.

It's strange to say that when she kept these things in her heart, she always felt like a big mountain, which made her unable to breathe.

Now that it's over, without the burden of embarrassment, I actually feel a little relieved.

"It's nothing, I understand!"

Lin Ling said with a smile.

After all, it was just a misunderstanding.

It is also a good thing to let Sister Mei let go of her illusions about the employees.

In business, it's not enough to just talk about love.

Well, part-time jobs are meant to make money.

Now the employees feel that the momentum is not good, and it is reasonable to want to take the money and leave.

It's just that it lacks a little bit of human touch and trust.

If they followed Sister Mei to the last second, the restaurant really couldn't hold on anymore. With Sister Mei's personality, even if they were having a bad time, she would use her connections and relationships to arrange for them so that they wouldn't have nothing to eat.

Sister Mei has worked hard in Hong Kong City for so many years, and she still has some skills.
But the employees obviously didn't think so deeply.

"Sister Mei, what are your plans now?"

"I?"

Sister Mei pointed at herself, a little puzzled, "What plans can I have, just close the door and rest for a while!"

"Exactly. I originally wanted to redecorate the restaurant. The worst thing is to start early."

After the employees left, she could still pay less salary for a period of time.

Thinking about it this way, I am also very happy.

"furnish?"

Hearing this, Lin Ling became interested.

"Can you show me the plan?"

To be honest, Meijie's restaurant doesn't really look like anything special.

It's not too different from other restaurants on the street, and it doesn't stand out from the crowd.

In this case, we can only win customers by taste.

If the decoration is used well, it will also attract some young customers at that time, which will be more beneficial to the long-term development of the store.

"You understand this too?"

Sister Mei was in a daze.

It seems that I heard that Lin Ling is going to open a shop before, so it doesn't seem surprising that she understands this!
Lin Ling blurted out, "I opened more than a dozen stores before, and I really have some experience in decoration!"

"And my man is doing decoration, if necessary, he can also check it out for you!"

Sister Mei looked at Chu Yi and then at Lin Ling with a surprised expression.

I really didn't expect it to be such a coincidence!

"That's a good relationship, please help me see!"

Sister Mei didn't come out either, and directly took out a stack of documents from the cabinet.

There are all kinds of decorations, and there are some decoration samples of foreign shops.

"I have recently found a few decoration companies, but I am not very satisfied, and I am worried!"

Lin Ling and Chu Yi watched enthusiastically, discussing while watching.

"This won't work, there is no Chinese model."

"Hey, this one is great, but this one is on the third floor. I don't know if the shop can change it."

Sister Mei also became interested and followed them to look.

She has been troubled recently because she couldn't find a satisfactory decoration.

Maybe in the eyes of others, it becomes a sign of lack of money.
It's ridiculous to think about it now.

With something to do, Sister Mei also looked away from the collective resignation of the employees.

Big deal start over!
She can even let go of decades of marriage, not to mention the employees who have been with her for ten or several years
People must always have the courage to dare to start again!

"It's okay, I'll find a way to find a relationship later, and the control here is not strict." Sister Mei said.

Lin Ling turned her head in surprise, seeing her calm expression, she didn't say anything, and continued to look at her.

Look at a lot of documents.

All three were a little tired.

Especially Lin Ling.

She slumped on the sofa, with no image at all.

Sister Mei looked at her but thought she was extremely cute.

"Sister Mei, do you have any plans?"

Lin Ling asked slowly.

"Imagination?"

Sister Mei raised her eyebrows, what does this mean?
"Well, in your imagination, what do you want the restaurant to look like?"

She explained it simply.

Sister Mei was in a daze for a moment, "That's not true."

Seeing Lin Ling's surprised expression, she suddenly felt that this problem was very serious.

That's right, why doesn't she even know what kind of restaurant she wants?

"Well, think about it first, such as wall tiles, floors, tables and chairs, color matching, and location."

"Of course, you also have to think about whether these things are suitable for your customers."

Lin Ling applied the process she used when she wanted to decorate.

That's about it.

The shop decoration at this time is not as rigid as later generations.

What kind of shop, what kind of decoration you want, you can freely play.

It can even be said that most people do not have the concept of decoration in their hearts.

So~ Hehehe, being a boss means you can make private goods and decorate the shop as you want.

Of course, it must also be suitable for the public's aesthetics.

Good decoration can attract a steady stream of customers, while unpopular decoration will only drive away customers.

"Lin Ling, are you doing well in business?"

Sister Mei suddenly started gossiping.

Lin Ling thought for a while and answered casually.

"Okay!"

Sister Mei squinted at her, "I don't believe it, Chu Yi, tell me!"

Suddenly caught by the cue, Chu Yi was stunned, "Ah, my wife's business is doing pretty well. She's better than me!"

As soon as Sister Mei heard it, she knew it in her heart.

Lin Ling's business must be doing very well.

"Lin Ling, you have come to Hong Kong City now, do you have any plans?"

"what?"

Lin Ling's head was filled with question marks.

This sentence seems familiar.

It seems to have heard it there! ! !

"I don't have any plans. Giving birth to the baby safely is my greatest achievement!"

What Lin Ling said was true, but not all.

She still wanted to do something, but she hadn't planned it yet, so she didn't say anything.

"Or, come and do it with me!"

Miss Mei issued an invitation.

"it's not good?"

"Sister Mei, why do you think so?"

Lin Ling really felt that this topic was jumping too fast.

"I feel pretty good!"

"You see, both of you are capable people, young and experienced. It must be better than me messing around alone."

As Sister Mei said, she became sentimental again.

"I have supported this restaurant by myself for so many years, and to be honest, I am quite tired."

"Now it turns out that I don't know people well, and the employees don't want me anymore."

Her voice became lower and lower, as if she was about to cry in the next second.

It's unbearable to watch.

"Sister Mei, don't be like this, you, you are already very good!"

Lin Ling comforted her at a loss.
