Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Making You Jealous Enough Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Making You Jealous Enough Today was only the second day, yet customers worried about price hikes after the event ended had already crazily bought a batch.
Tomorrow’s situation was foreseeable.
Gu Xiaoling’s eyes hurt with jealousy.
She asked Meng Chuyue, “Are you really not the owner of the store?”
Meng Chuyue shook her head gently, “I’m really not.”
“Is your boss male or female, how old, and what is your relationship to them?”
Meng Chuyue quietly looked at her for a few seconds and said coldly, “Female, thirty-three, she is my godmother.”
Meng Chuyue didn’t want to deal with Gu Xiaoling anymore.
Jealousy made Gu Xiaoling’s face so ugly that she didn’t want to torment herself.
But the customers in the store were also waiting to hear the answer.
If she didn’t respond, everyone would inevitably speculate.
To avoid being pointed at by others in the future, she reluctantly answered Gu Xiaoling, then turned a cold face.
Gu Xiaoling had a thick skin and, knowing she had already offended Meng Chuyue, pretended not to understand.
She said with a smile, “Such a big Fruit Store, and your godmother only has you to watch the store?”
Meng Chuyue originally didn’t want to reply, but on second thought, mischievously said, “My godmother initially planned to hire another person, but I said I could manage alone, so she agreed to pay me double the salary.”
Love being jealous, huh?
Well, then let’s see you get enough of it.
Gu Xiaoling’s eyes widened in shock, “…how much?”
Some gossip-loving customers also stared at Meng Chuyue intently.
Meng Chuyue said nonchalantly, “I’m not sure how much exactly, my godmother said, it will definitely not be less than others.”
Thinking of the twenty yuan fruits, everyone: “…”
When she got home at eight in the evening, Meng Chuyue found out that Meng Wanhua had kept her word and really sent Zhao Tianzhi away early in the morning.
However, before she could rejoice, she discovered that all the Space fruits at home were gone.
Not just a portion, but all of them.
Meng Chuyue guessed they were taken by Zhao Tianzhi, was very annoyed, but considering that Zhao Tianzhi would rarely come again, she held back her temper.
Pretending to know nothing, she didn’t discuss it with Meng Wanhua.
Hearing that Meng Jingfen’s job search had failed, she reluctantly consoled her and made them pork rib and winter melon soup.
When served, Meng Jingfen’s bowl had more pork ribs and less winter melon.
Meng Wanhua’s bowl had more winter melon and less pork ribs.
Meng Chuyue did this, not as a punishment for Meng Wanhua.
To really punish her, she wouldn’t have cooked at all.
She did it because the pork ribs were ordinary, but the winter melon was a Spirit Plant from Space.
Moreover, eating too much meat wasn’t good.
The taste of the winter melon was more exquisite than the meat, so Meng Wanhua didn’t overthink.
Meng Jingfen, who was always suspicious, felt unworthy of Meng Chuyue’s care, thinking Meng Chuyue wanted to fatten her up, which was utterly condemnable, so she left with a cold face after eating.
Meng Wanhua and Meng Chuyue didn’t bother her, attributing it to her not finding a job yet.
The next morning, Meng Chuyue still watched Meng Wanhua drink Bird’s nest and reminded her not to forget to eat black fungus, egg, and meat cake for lunch before she rushed off to the Fruit Store.
Indeed, the business was booming today.
As customers were too many for Meng Chuyue to handle alone, she simply hired the daughters of the owners of the two nearby shops, who were about her age, as temporary workers.
Thirty yuan a day, food and drink not included.
Given that the current salary for a regular worker was five hundred yuan a month, thirty yuan a day was absolutely a high salary, and both girls and their parents were very happy.
They wished there were such good opportunities every day.
But they knew that today was the last day of the discount event, which was why business was so good; from tomorrow, business would likely be much quieter.
Meng Chuyue had originally planned to close early today, but alas, the later it got, the more customers there were.
After all, if they didn’t buy today, the prices would go up tomorrow.
