Jiang Na wiped the sweat off her forehead, feeling her throat parched and about to smoke, so she pinched her throat and said, "Sister, let me in first... first let me have a drink of water!"
"Gulp! Gulp!..."
After gulping down a glass of water, Jiang Na wiped her mouth contentedly: "Sister, it's terrible news. The company has actually recruited a lot of people to replace the employees on leave.
I was afraid it wouldn't be good to talk about this over the phone where outsiders could hear, so I hurried over here by car. It turned out I left in such a rush that I realized on the way that I didn't carry enough money. So I watched the meter and got off the taxi, and had to run a stretch to get here."
"What did you say? They recruited a lot of people? Where did they recruit from? Who are these people?" Su Yan, who had been comfortably lounging on the sofa, suddenly sat up straight.
"It seems to be done by Tang something headhunting company. Remember how the owner of Meizi, the number one beauty salon in our city, had troubles and dissolved Meizi? All the senior beauticians from Meizi have been invited to Wenxin Garden.
Instructors, network managers, finance personnel, they're all hired professionals. I heard there's only a yoga instructor position left to fill, everything else is taken, and there are even a few more than before!" Jiang Na looked worriedly at Su Yan: "Sister, you weren't prepared for this move, were you?"
"Crash!"
With the sound of a glass cup shattering, Yuan Qiang walked out of the bedroom. He had gotten a rough idea of their conversation and silently removed a broom and dustpan to clean up the broken glass on the floor.
"Are you happy because what you said happened to be true? Stop sweeping! Are you deliberately trying to anger me?" As Su Yan spoke, she picked up another cup and threw it at Yuan Qiang: "Trying to steal my power, trying to drive me out? Hmph! No way, you naive brat, thinking about stealing food right after weaning. I'm not so easily bullied. The contract is there for a reason; I dare her to lay a finger on me!"
"Brother-in-law, don't be angry with my sister, she didn't expect this to happen..." Jiang Na comforted Yuan Qiang, feeling lost and helpless.
Yuan Qiang stared at the figure disappearing behind the bedroom door: "She's been this way not just for a day. If I were to get angry, I would've been dead long ago!
I've advised her more than once to get her act together. Will she listen? And you, don't just blindly follow her because she hired you. It's not good for you!"
"Brother-in-law..." Jiang Na fidgeted, not knowing what to say.
"Forget it, I'm just speaking objectively. Sit for a while. I've been idle for too many years. It's time to go out and find a job!" After saying this, Yuan Qiang took the keys— and left the house!
Jiang Na stared at the bedroom door, then at the front door. This pair of cousins are really something. Looking for work... without bringing anything?
...
The two young receptionists at the front desk smiled sweetly and politely answered the customers' questions. At the entrance of the beauty center, two pretty young girls stood, responsible for guiding guests into the service rooms.
Looking up, the internet café and library on the second floor were orderly. The customers who had finished working out or beauty treatments and didn't plan to leave all looked comfortably satisfied.
The third floor was out of sight, leaving the situation there unknown.
Before entering Wenxin Garden, Su Yan had imagined chaos inside. But to her disappointment, the current situation seemed to indicate that her actions not only had no effect on Wenxin Garden but seemed to have taken it up a notch!
"Jiang Na!... Jiang Na!" After calling twice without a response, Su Yan realized that Jiang Na had disappeared from behind her at some point.
"Li Yue, Wenxin Garden has changed from before. I was planning to switch to another place after using up my card. I was also worrying about which place to choose. Even Meizi, such a famous beauty salon, could shut down after absconding with money—who else can be trusted?
Now it's all good; your boss is the Mayor's wife. She wouldn't cheat us out of our money and run away. And Li Yue, I've always seen you as different from the others. Congratulations!" A chubby middle-aged woman held Li Yue's hand and chatted as she walked towards the exit.
Li Yue smiled faintly, "Thank you, Sister Yao, for your trust in us. President Luo is President Wen's daughter and quite capable. Wenxin Garden is definitely going to get better and better!"
"Xiao Li, how old is your President Luo? Does she have a boyfriend?" The middle-aged woman's eyes lit up.
Li Yue smiled apologetically, "I'm not sure about that, sorry!"
The middle-aged woman slapped her forehead, "Look at me, hehe... President Luo certainly doesn't need me to worry about her. But I will definitely take care of your boyfriend for you, let's stop here, Xiao Li!"
"Sister Yao, it's really not necessary... Er, goodbye!" Li Yue laughed awkwardly, wondering why Sister Yao was so interested in these matters.
"Su... Mr. Su!" After seeing the middle-aged woman out, Li Yue just noticed Su Yan standing at the door, staring at her ominously.
"What did she just congratulate you for?"
"Congratulate me for what?" A flash of confusion passed through Li Yue's eyes before she realized, "President Luo has issued an appointment. I'm now the assistant manager of the beauty department."
"Hmph!" Su Yan turned and walked upstairs. She didn't recognize most of the employees she encountered, and naturally, there were fewer greetings, which further fueled her anger.
"President Wen, what do you mean by this? Ah..."
"I've said before, knock before entering, or watch out for my darts. Don't you have a brain?" Luo Ye sat behind the boss's desk, looking sweetly at Su Yan, who had been silenced by her dart scare.
"You... you're too much!" Su Yan looked at Wen Xin, who was sitting on the sofa, "President Wen, she's your daughter, won't you manage her?"
Wen Xin smiled serenely, "Su Yan, she's now President Luo, and I am Vice President Wen. How can I manage my superior? Only after work when we return home, and she becomes my daughter again, she listens to me!"
"You... you..." Su Yan took a step forward. Seeing that no darts flew her way again, she finally walked forward in relief, when suddenly, "Ah!" A white shadow flew over her head with a couple of "chiu chiu" sounds.
"Dou Dou, why are you so naughty? Didn't I tell you not to fly around in the office? What if you scare someone to death, you'll be legally responsible. Come back!"
"Chiu chiu..."
Su Yan watched dumbfounded as next to the infuriatingly cute face, a terrifying Little Seagull appeared.
"Mr. Su, I'm sorry, Dou Dou gets scared when it sees strangers. It forgets my instructions when it gets scared. You see, if you had knocked and greeted before entering, giving it time to adjust, this wouldn't have happened!" Luo Ye said while stroking Dou Dou's little spine, "Poor Dou Dou, you got scared, didn't you? Calm down now!"
Wen Xin was entertained by her daughter to no end, but it wouldn't be polite to laugh out loud in front of Su Yan, so she excused herself to the rest room.
"Hmph!" Su Yan quickly left.
"She just left like that?" Wen Xin's cheeks were red as she came out from the rest room.
Luo Ye smiled confidently, "She must be going to get the contract!"
"Oh right, Ye'er, those employees who asked for leave also have contracts. How do we arrange that?" Wen Xin looked at Luo Ye with concern; ever since Tang Luo and her aunt sent those professional employees over this morning, she has gotten used to relying on her daughter.
