Ning Ge returned to Qing City with achievements in hand, and found out that Cheng Su had also previously recruited workers and was only waiting for health checkups and training to start operations, which also relieved him.
Thinking of the old man, he could not help but size up Cheng Su, the nice girl the old man met, was it really her?
If it was, then the connection between the two families was indeed deep!
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Cheng Su asked with a confused expression, touching her face, "Do I have something on my face?"
Ning Ge rolled his eyes, "You wish!"
A little while later, he asked as if it were of no particular importance, "I heard Big Brother Qi is from Flower County, isn’t he?"
"Yeah," Cheng Su, busy with her calculator working on the accounts, said, "I’m from there too, we’re just from different villages, is there a problem?"
"No, haven’t you gone back to check it out? When did you go back last?" Ning Ge looked over.
"Why would I go back if there’s nothing to do? Don’t I have work here? Also, I just went back once in June." Cheng Su frowned as she worked on the accounts, struggling with some numbers that just wouldn’t add up.
June, that was indeed when the old man went to Flower County. Ning Ge slapped his forehead, it really was the case!
He suddenly felt like laughing, thinking that the fate and destiny between people is really arranged by heaven long in advance!
"Why the silly laughter? Come help me with these accounts; I just can’t get them right!" Cheng Su said.
With a look of disdain, Ning Ge took over, and quickly started working the calculator, Cheng Su watching and praising, "Seems like you are really good with numbers! That’s great, I’ve already asked Xiao Ya to take over the finances in our company starting in October. Before then, you’ll be in charge!"
"You’ve dumped this on me again!" Ning Ge glared.
Cheng Su smiled lightly, with a hint of threat in her tone, "The company is about to launch, I have to supervise the workers making sauces and such, in the beginning, how can things go well if I don’t keep an eye out? You still want to make money, don’t you?"
"Alright, alright!" Ning Ge conceded.
"I’ve also recruited a few salespeople, you should keep an eye on them too!" Cheng Su added.
Ning Ge wanted to say no, but under her threatening gaze, he had to accept his bad luck. Why had he ever thought to go into business in the first place!
Song Xiaojang rushed over at this moment, with a grave expression: "Boss, I’ve found out who was behind the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall incident last time!"
Cheng Su’s brows knitted, she had put that issue aside, so what now?
"It was Liao Shifa. I just delivered takeout and saw the person who ordered Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and him walking out of Fa Ji arm in arm!" Song Xiaojang said angrily, "It must be Liao Shifa, seeing that our business is doing well, so he uses petty tricks to mess with us, that despicable, shameless villain!"
"Could you have seen wrong?" Cheng Su asked with a frown, "How would he know this restaurant is mine, or that you work for me?"
"I definitely didn’t see wrong," Song Xiaojang insisted, "I specifically asked someone familiar, they said Fa Ji isn’t doing as well lately, customers say the food isn’t as good as it used to be. Hmph, how could it be without my dad?"
Cheng Su pursed her lips and said, "Fa Ji is also a well-known restaurant; they shouldn’t be concerned about my small place, right?"
"You don’t know the whole story. My dad has worked at Fa Ji for dozens of years, so he has some loyal customers. When they found out my dad had switched jobs, they stopped going to Fa Ji much, and when they learned he was working here, wanting to enjoy his signature dishes, of course, they would come looking. Take the customer from yesterday, and the one the day before that..."
Cheng Su fell silent, indeed, since Old Song had joined, he had brought over quite a few regular customers with him, which improved the business of the restaurant, and he had made no small contribution.
If Fa Ji was really using such tactics because of this, that would be a real low move!
