Rebirth 09: A perfect life starting from college

As he said that, he turned his head and glanced in the direction of the kitchen, and suddenly raised his voice and said, "I want us to stay so we can talk about it—according to the conditions we just mentioned, this matter is easy to talk about!"

"If it doesn't work, then forget it, you two elders, don't stop us from having a good future, right?"

"This..." Wang Hui said in embarrassment: "Bo Xiang...your condition is really..."

"—Let them go!!!"

Zhong Yuanchao's violent drinking came from the back kitchen, directly interrupting Wang Hui's words.

"Hehe~ Aunt Wang, you saw it too~"

Wei Boxiang shrugged with a sneer: "Boss Zhong didn't want to talk to us, so don't blame us~"

After finishing speaking, he shook off Wang Hui's hand and waved to the chefs behind him.

"Brothers, let's go!"

Seeing this group of guys rushing away, Jiang Cheng, who was leaning against the empty table to smoke a cigarette, raised his eyebrows.

He has seen this situation a lot, and nine times out of ten, it should be that these apprentices of Lao Zhong think that their wages are low, and they collectively fight against Lao Zhong.

This kind of thing is indeed quite common in the catering industry.

After all, there are many restaurants, but few good cooks. A good cook is enough to support a profitable shop, so they are the treasures of every restaurant.

Because of this, there is also the cost of bargaining with the boss.

People don't kill themselves for their own sake - in Jiang Cheng's view, it is understandable for migrant workers to seek more benefits for themselves.

As a working dog who has worked hard at the grassroots level for more than ten years in his previous life, he can fully understand such behavior.

It's just that I feel that it's inappropriate and unethical for the other party to join forces and do this at such a busy moment.

Of course, these things have little to do with me, so I don't want to say much.

......

"Mom...what's the matter?"

After Wei Boxiang and the others left, Zhong Xi'er hurried over and asked, "What happened, why is my dad so angry?"

"Alas..." Wang Hui sighed: "Wei Boxiang and the others joined forces to talk to your father about raising their wages..."

"Just raise the salary a bit." Zhong Xi'er said puzzledly: "Didn't my dad talk to them about this kind of thing before—why did he get so angry today?"

"This is because..."

As Wang Hui said, she shook her head helplessly: "The salary increase they asked for was a cut of the hot pot restaurant's turnover!"

"Draft?"

"Opening your mouth is 10% of everyone!"

Hearing this, even Jiang Cheng, who expressed his understanding to these guys just now, couldn't help being stunned at the moment.

Four people, each of them wants 10% of the turnover?

Good guy, this is really too much, 40% of the turnover is tantamount to draining all the gross profits.

No wonder Lao Zhong was so angry.

After hard work, the boss subsidizes money to work for the cook-in exchange for this, everyone has to jump.

But having said that, this kind of request is completely unreasonable, and it is impossible for anyone to agree.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that this group of guys probably planned to leave a long time ago, just using this as an excuse...

Chapter 385 When Did I Bully You?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a sudden sound of smashing things in the back kitchen.

The diners and staff who hadn't left in the hall trembled with fear.

"Mom...is my dad okay?"

Zhong Xi'er tugged at the corner of Wang Hui's clothes, bit her lip and asked, "Why don't I go in and have a look and persuade him?"

"Don't go."

Wang Hui grabbed her daughter's hand and said with a wry smile: "Don't you know your father's temper? Let him vent it, otherwise it will be even more uncomfortable to hold it in."

"But...so many people are watching...how bad the influence is..."

When Zhong Xi'er heard this, she glanced at the crowd of onlookers in the hall with their heads poking around, with a troubled expression on their faces.

"It's okay...it's okay...it'll be fine in a while..."

Listening to the sound of smashing things coming from the kitchen, Wang Hui smiled wryly and shook her head: "Oh... Bo Xiang and the others... don't know what they think... Your father obviously mentioned it to him last year. , The new store that is going to open next was originally planned to be managed by him...but now it's fine... oh..."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng, who was silent by the side, secretly felt something was wrong in his heart.

In his impression, Zhong Yuanchao has always been gentle and gentle, and he has almost never seen him lose his temper, let alone such an extremely irrational act of throwing things in the kitchen of the store to vent his anger. Behavior.

It seemed that Uncle Zhong was indeed pissed off this time.

But now, listening to what Wang Hui said, it seems that the inside story of the matter may not be as simple as that.

Being able to be directly assigned to take care of a new store, logically speaking, to be able to get such attention from the boss, not to mention knowing how to repay him, at least he shouldn't have second thoughts.

However, instead of being ungrateful, Wei Boxiang left directly under the pretext of unreasonable demands.

This situation is obviously extremely wrong.

Jiang Cheng frowned slightly, secretly speculating.

Not surprisingly, nine out of ten it is estimated that there are villains outside.

Higher conditions were set for this group of guys.

——Being able to offer Wei Boxiang more exciting conditions than managing a restaurant alone, it seems that the other party is here for Lao Zhong's hot pot restaurant this time.

Pulling from the bottom of the pot...

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng immediately remembered what Zhong Yuanchao said to him before he left after eating at his home last time.

It seems that Uncle Zhong himself should have known about this matter a long time ago.

Just as Jiang Cheng was thinking secretly, he saw that the curtain of the back kitchen was suddenly lifted by a big hand, and Zhong Yuanchao bowed his head and walked out from inside.

His face was livid, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Looks really pissed off.

"dad..."

Seeing the ashen-faced Zhong Yuanchao come out of the back kitchen, Zhong Xi'er hastily greeted him.

"I'm sorry...Xi'er...Jiang Cheng..."

Seeing his daughter, Zhong Yuanchao, who had lost his temper just now, immediately put away his frustrated and angry expression, and tried to muster a wry smile: "I'm afraid I can't arrange for you and your friends at noon today..."

"Oh......"

Hearing this, Zhong Xi'er nodded disappointedly, wanted to comfort her but couldn't say anything.

On the contrary, Jiang Cheng beside him took the initiative to comfort him: "It's okay, Uncle Zhong, I'll take them to eat something else—it's on your side, isn't it okay?"

"It doesn't matter." Zhong Yuanchao waved his hand: "The ones left are all old customers. I will give them a good talk and give them a free order. I will be considerate..."

"That's fine."

Jiang Cheng nodded slightly: "Uncle Zhong, if you need any help, you can ask me, and I will try my best to help if I can."

"It's really fine~ Chengcheng." Zhong Yuanchao pretended to be relaxed and smiled, patted Jiang Cheng on the shoulder and said, "It's just a few helpers, at worst, just recruit a few more—thank you for your concern."

"Ok."

Seeing that Zhong Yuanchao had said so, Jiang Cheng didn't bother to ask.

——He knew this uncle's temper, and if he really encountered a difficult problem that needed his help, he would speak up.

And now, since he doesn't want to mention it, Jiang Cheng won't force it.

The two returned upstairs, and when they were going up the stairs, Zhong Xi'er suddenly said, "Jiang Cheng, can you explain this matter to me later...? After all... that... I feel a little It's embarrassing, I don't know how to speak..."

"Isn't this a problem with your family? Why do you want me to speak up?"

Faced with Zhong Xi'er's proactive request, Jiang Cheng has always been uncomfortable.

——You are too embarrassed to open your mouth, just push it to me?

What a temper!

"You! Hmph!" Zhong Xi'er frowned when she heard this, "Can you help me?"

"Don't help~Sau Rui~"

"You...you——if you don't help me...I'll just...you bully...I...tell Aunt Tan about me!!"

"Zhong Xi'er, when did I bully you? Don't talk nonsense."

"How not?"

Zhong Xi'er said shyly, her originally fair cheeks were flushed with blush.

"You...you clearly...kiss...me...and...stick out your tongue...!"

——I rely on ( ‵o′)convex!

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng suddenly woke up like a dream.

Nima almost forgot about it!

Quickly and subconsciously, he glanced at Wang Hui and Zhong Yuanchao couple at the bottom of the stairs. Fortunately, they were busy apologizing to the diners in the hall, so they didn't hear Zhong Xier's words just now.

If the two parents and seniors knew about this matter, they would really jump into the Yellow River and not be able to clean up.

Jiang Cheng scratched his head and thought about it, feeling a little scared in his heart.

What the hell, Zhong Xi'er's injustice has successfully grasped another handle.

"To shut up!"

Jiang Cheng hurriedly covered Zhong Xi'er's small mouth behind him, stared at the other's big bright eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let me tell you about this—and, what happened last time was purely a Accident! It is forbidden to mention it in the future! Do you hear me clearly?"

Hearing this, Zhong Xi'er didn't speak, but blinked dissatisfied.

You obviously enjoyed it when you kissed!Turn your face and deny people!Scumbag!

After the little disturbance, the two returned to the box upstairs.

In the end, Jiang Cheng came forward to explain a little bit.

However, he didn't elaborate on the cook's resignation, Lao Zhong's gaffe, etc., but evaded the seriousness and said that there were some minor problems in the kitchen, and Yun Yun might not be able to entertain him.

In this regard, although everyone who was expecting was disappointed, they all expressed their understanding and acceptance.

——Jiang Cheng's original intention was to take care of his godfather and mother's face, so as not to be so embarrassing.

Unexpectedly, when Zhong Xi'er heard these words, she mistakenly thought that Jiang Cheng had said so deliberately in order to save her own face.

Subconsciously connecting the accident that happened before with the current incident, Zhong Xi'er, who was caught in the dark and moved herself, was immediately elated.

——It turns out...Jiang Cheng still has feelings for me~ That's great~ hee~ Jiang Cheng~ I will continue to work hard~ I will definitely make you accept me again~......

Chapter 386 So You Are Such a Senior Sister!

After finishing their lunch at another Bashu hotpot restaurant, the group squeezed into Phaeton and arrived at Jinli, a famous scenic spot in Jincheng.

As one of the oldest and most commercial streets in the history of Jincheng, Jinli, which is rich in cultural heritage, is now developing very well.

The winding courtyards, streets and alleys echo the waterfront, lakes, lotus ponds, and stone bridges. The themed clubs, themed restaurants, and themed shops are located among them.

On the bluestone road of the long and narrow antique street, people come and go.

The combination of a group of beautiful girls with different styles like flowers and jade and a handsome guy who is facing the wind suddenly became the most eye-catching beautiful scenery in the whole street.

Lu Xin, Zhong Xi'er, and Su Minglan are the three school beauties, plus the neutral Chen Erzhu, gothic lolita Mo Huan, and the delicate Ge Rui who are also outstanding in facial features.

Being able to become the flower protector of this group of beauties, Jiang Cheng, the only male member in the group, with Yingyan's soft words in his ears, surrounded by the fragrance of beauties, so naturally he deserves to be the envy and hatred of the male creatures on the street Preferred target.

However, what makes Jiang Cheng more helpless than the hostile gazes everywhere is that the aunts and grandmas of the Chaoshi Band are really too difficult to serve!

Looking at the big and small bags in his hands, Jiang Chengcheng, who is a public coolie, is really helpless and miserable.
