Chapter 100: Ninety-nine, sneaking a bite
Seeing a colleague coming down with a menu, the waiter from before came over, "Sister Li, who are those people? They came in acting all high and mighty, asking for a private room as soon as they arrived."
"All I know is one of them is from the Public Security Office, now stop bothering me, I have to go to the kitchen to order the dishes." Sister Li, holding the menu, headed towards the kitchen. Those upstairs were wealthy customers; she had to serve them well.
The waiter thought for a moment and followed Sister Li into the kitchen, only to see her reporting the dishes to the chef, feeling a sense of frustration. She hadn’t realized those people were quite wealthy, ordering so much all at once. Had she not given that business to Sister Li, wouldn’t all the bonus from this deal have been hers?
With that thought, she decided to have a serious discussion about the bonus distribution with Sister Li as soon as she came out of the kitchen. Her older brother was the deputy director of the Welcome Guest Hotel, and if Sister Li didn’t agree to share the bonus with her, she would have her brother fire her.
After Sister Li finished ordering the dishes, she walked out from the kitchen and saw the waiter at the door, surprised, "Xiao Jin, what are you doing here?" She had come from the village and wasn’t originally qualified to work at the Welcome Guest Hotel.
Once, when she went to visit her aunt in town, she helped an elderly person who had fallen in the street. That person’s son happened to be the director of the Welcome Guest Hotel, and to thank her, he bent the rules and hired her as a waitress. She always cherished this opportunity.
"Sister Li, that deal just now was originally mine, and I gave it to you. Shouldn’t you share half of the bonus with me?" Xiao Jin said as if it were a matter of course. She had just calculated; those dishes amounted to more than a hundred yuan, and half the bonus would be more than one yuan.
"Xiao Jin, it’s not that Sister Li won’t give it to you, but you know my family’s situation." Her family of six depended solely on her wages to get by, and every extra yuan could alleviate some of the burden. Moreover, her husband personally came to collect her monthly salary. Those funds never even passed through her hands. Even if she wanted to give Xiao Jin, she had no way to do so.
"I don’t care about any of that. If you don’t give it to me, I’ll tell my brother and let him judge between us." Xiao Jin said arrogantly.
Sister Li sighed helplessly, "Alright then!" What could she do when she couldn’t overpower him?
Upon hearing Sister Li’s agreement, Xiao Jin’s face lit up with happiness, "Then you can leave those customers to me from now on." Since they ordered so many dishes, she could take some advantage too.
The dishes were served quickly, and in just over ten minutes, more than half had already been brought to the table.
Hearing from Aunt Chen that Luo Shan had returned to the Luo Family Village, Zhao Aishu shook her head in resignation, "That child Luo Shan is indeed filial, but her father is too disgraceful."
"Exactly! He even wanted to marry Luo Shu off to an idiot, and if it weren’t for Luo Shu’s cleverness, who knows what would have happened by now. In my opinion, that kind of man doesn’t even deserve to be called a father. It’s just that Luo Shan is foolish and still cares so much about him." Aunt Chen got angry just thinking about the reason Luo Shu moved out from her home.
Zhou Chang’s eyes flashed with anger. He only knew Luo Shu was from the Luo Family Village and had not investigated her family further; he had no idea she had such an appalling father.
"What? This happened too?" Zhao Aishu was also angered. She knew Luo Shu’s father had taken another woman and treated his children poorly, but she had no idea about these things.
"Everyone, let’s eat and stop talking about those things," Luo Shu said with a smile, reaching out for a piece of chicken and placing it in Zhao Aishu’s bowl, "Godmother, see, I’m fine now, so don’t be angry. Today we should be happy for my housewarming!" If it wasn’t for the fact that she and Luo Jiansen and Luo Shan are related by blood, why would she let him off so easily?
"Yes, today we should be happy," Aunt Chen also realized she had said something she shouldn’t have, "Zhihe, do you know where the restroom is?"
"Turn right when you go out and go all the way down, you’ll see it," Chen Zhihe said.
"Okay!" Aunt Chen nodded and walked outside.
"Godmother, is there any way for Godfather to arrange a job for Luo Shan?" Luo Shu asked. She understood very clearly that even if Luo Shan was given a job, it would just be another way for Luo Jiansen to make money off her.
But if Luo Shan didn’t have a job, her fate would be even more miserable. It was very likely that Luo Jiansen might force her to be sold to someone else as a wife.
When Luo Shan said she wanted to return to Luo Family Village, Luo Shu had thought about stopping her. She knew Luo Shan’s personality well, innocent yet sometimes quite stubborn; the more she would try to prevent her, the more Luo Shan would become defiant. Instead of that, it was better to let her do as she pleased, and once she had suffered enough, she would naturally understand.
What Luo Shu could do for her now was to secure her a stable job, so she wouldn’t have to suffer as much. As for her future, it would be up to her to decide.
Zhao Aishu thought for a moment and said, "How about letting Luo Shan work at the sales point? The wages are higher there, and it’s less tiring for the employees."
Luo Shu was about to speak when the sound of an argument came from outside.
"I’ll go have a look!" Luo Shu stood up and walked outside.
"How can you, young lady, behave like this? How could you steal and eat our food?" Aunt Chen pointed at Xiao Jin, her face full of indignation. She had just returned from the restroom and caught Xiao Jin serving a dish. Seeing that no one was around, Xiao Jin had sneakily eaten a piece of meat from it.
"Don’t talk nonsense and wrong me, I didn’t do it," Xiao Jin said with a look of grievance. It was rare for customers to order so many expensive dishes, and the aroma tempted her so much that she couldn’t help herself. Moreover, she had stolen food like this many times without ever being caught by customers. She didn’t expect to be spotted by this old lady this time. What bad luck!
"Auntie, what happened?" Luo Shu stepped forward and asked.
"She stole our food and I happened to see it, but she won’t admit it," Aunt Chen said angrily.
Luo Shu frowned and looked at Xiao Jin. In her previous life, she had heard about restaurant servers stealing customer’s food. She hadn’t expected to encounter it herself today.
"I didn’t, how could I possibly steal the customers’ food? Don’t try to frame me." Anyway, the food was already eaten, and if she didn’t admit it, they couldn’t do anything to her.
"If you didn’t steal, then why is there grease around your mouth?" Aunt Chen asked, pointing at Xiao Jin’s mouth.
Xiao Jin panicked and quickly raised her sleeve to wipe her mouth.
"We don’t want this dish," Luo Shu said calmly. Seeing the other’s greasy sleeve made her feel disgusted. She had known it would be better to eat at home.
"Go call your supervisor over," Chen Zhihe said sternly. He had come out with Luo Shu and clearly understood the situation.
