“Xiao Xiao, why are you here?”
As soon as Feng Mei walked out of the kitchen, she saw Xiao Xiao surrounded by a few waiters.
She did not know the situation. She walked forward and introduced her to the waiters. “This is my daughter, Xiao Xiao. She’s in the second year of high school this year.”
When the woman who had been targeting Yuan Xiao heard the lady boss’s words, her expression hurriedly changed and she said nervously, “This little girl is so beautiful. She’s exactly like our lady boss.”
Yuan Xiao could not help but chuckle. This person’s expression changed faster than flipping through a book. “Is that so? However, my spending ability is relatively poor. No matter how beautiful I am, I might be chased out.”
Yuan Xiao’s words clearly had a hidden meaning. Feng Mei could also tell that Yuan Xiao was unhappy. She asked with concern, “What’s wrong? Who’s being chased out?”
“Nothing, Lady Boss. Sister Li saw that it was too late just now and wanted this young lady to go home early. She was afraid that she would encounter danger. Perhaps your daughter misunderstood Sister Li’s intentions.”
The short-haired girl who had been standing beside the woman just now hurriedly stepped forward to help. Yuan Xiao could tell that other than the young waitress they had bullied previously, the other three seemed to have a good relationship.
“Alright, you guys go pack up and get off work.” Feng Mei knew that Yuan Xiao might have gotten into an argument with a few waiters just now, but she had no intention of pursuing the matter.
When the waiters heard the lady boss’s words, they hurriedly ran to the lounge of the restaurant to change their clothes happily, leaving the young waitress behind.
She said to Feng Mei, who was beside Yuan Xiao, “Sister Mei, I’ll go to the kitchen to clean up before leaving. Anyway, I live alone. It doesn’t matter if I go home earlier or later.”
“Xiao Liu, you should go back early as a young lady. Old Shen and I will clean up the kitchen.” At Feng Mei’s insistence, the young waitress also went to the lounge to change and left the restaurant.
Seeing that everyone had left, Feng Mei asked Yuan Xiao, who was still frowning, “What’s wrong, Xiao Xiao?”
“It’s nothing.” As Yuan Xiao packed the peels in front of her into the trash can, she said to Feng Mei, “I was just eating fruits and snacks provided for free. The waiter called Sister Li wanted me to leave.”
Hearing Yuan Xiao’s words, Feng Mei’s expression became a little unhappy.
“Seriously, that Xiao Li. I already said that fruits and snacks are free.”
“Mom, it’s not that her heart aches for your fruits, she wants to get off work early.” Yuan Xiao was very dissatisfied with the waitress just now. It was not only because she wanted to chase her away. Just based on her attitude towards the young waitress, Yuan Xiao’s impression of her was already poor.
“A waiter with such an attitude can’t stay in the shop for long. Sooner or later, there will be a big problem.”
When Feng Mei heard Yuan Xiao’s words, she shook her head helplessly and explained to her, “Xiao Li is a single mother and her education level is not high. It’s not easy for her to find a job.”
“Mom, you’re thinking too much about others.” Yuan Xiao disagreed with Feng Mei’s actions. Although some people looked very pitiful, they were not worthy of sympathy.
“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Xiao Xiao, why didn’t you go home directly after school?”
Feng Mei had always been soft-hearted. Although she was the boss of the shop, she had always been very good to her employees and had never made things difficult for them.
Yuan Xiao knew that she could not persuade Feng Mei, but she had many ideas about the modification of the restaurant. After the scientific research competition ended, Yuan Xiao would spend some time thinking of ways to upgrade Shen Hai and Feng Mei’s store. Not only did she have to improve the waiters’ attitudes, but she also had to improve the operating equipment.
“I’m preparing to participate in a scientific competition. I went to the library in the afternoon and happened to pass by here to take a look.”
Although Feng Mei did not know much about the science competition, everyone knew that Yuan Xiao’s results were outstanding. Feng Mei had always been very assured of her studies.
“Xiao Xiao is here.” Shen Hai walked out of the kitchen in an apron. “Xiao Mei, I’ve already cleaned up the kitchen. Let’s go home together.”The three of them walked out of the restaurant together. This was the first time Yuan Xiao was sitting in a small pickup truck driven by her father. Although the car had been cleaned up by Shen Hai, it was still a second-hand car that was used to transport goods. It looked relatively old.
“Dad will work hard to earn money in the future and get Xiao Xiao a good car.
When you get into university, Dad will send you to school.”
Shen Hai felt a little uncomfortable. In the past, Yuan Xiao used to sit in a luxury car with a special chauffeur to pick her up in the Yuan Family. Now, she suffered a lot with him..
