Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xia Wan looked deeply at Xiao Wu. “I hope you truly realize your mistake this time. It’s fine if my friend and I don’t eat this meal, but if one day you offend other powerful people and affect the survival of this shop, I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear the consequences.��
After saying that, Xia Wan was about to pull Liu Hua away when the female boss suddenly said, “Big sister, today’s matter is our family’s fault. You and your friend can go to the private room to eat. You can order whatever you want.
I’ll treat you.”
After listening to Xia Wan’s words just now, the boss felt that Xia Wan was a very far-sighted person. She also noticed that when Little Wu apologized, he was obviously perfunctory.
However, the boss did not want to teach her subordinates a lesson in front of so many customers. It would be a joke.
Nevertheless, the boss planned to educate Xiao Wu properly.
Xia Wan waved her hand. “No need. Thank you for your kindness, Lady Boss. If my sisters and I go to eat now, I’m afraid those people’s thoughts will be confirmed. They will think that we are here to ask for compensation.”
As she spoke, she glanced at Zhou Chen and the other two. “Moreover, these three classmates of mine might even spread the word that I’m deliberately freeloading on your family’s food when they return to school.”
“Lady Boss, I understand you have no disrespect for your intentions. This matter is over, but we won’t be eating this meal.”
After saying that, Xia Wan left with Liu Hua.
Zhou Chen remained where he was. He frowned as he looked in the direction Xia Wan had left. He was a little puzzled. He kept feeling that Xia Wan had changed.
The boss smiled and asked Song Zhi and the others to go back for dinner. Then, she called Little Wu to the back.
With no one else around, the smile on the boss’s face disappeared. Looking coldly at Little Wu, she said, “Do you really understand your mistake? Is this how you treat a customer I’ve protected with all my heart?”
“Back then, your family was poor. Your mother was in poor health, your father’s leg was injured, and you had a younger brother who had to attend school. I hired you as my waiter because we were from the same village. With your attitude, are you trying to ruin my shop?”
Xiao Wu finally realized the seriousness of the matter. He had made mistakes before. Whether it was breaking plates or using the toilet, the boss was never so harsh on him. At most, she would smile and tell him to be more careful.
But now, the boss’s tone was as if she wanted to chase him away. Xiao Wu panicked, and his heart beat faster. He looked up at the boss, his eyes pleading.
“Lady Boss, I was wrong. I will never look down on anyone who comes to our shop again. You know my family’s situation. If I lose this job, my family will have no source of income.”
The boss was unmoved, and Xiao Wu earnestly expressed his remorse. Only then did the boss put away her previous indifference.
“After today’s incident, you must remember never to look down on anyone.”
Xiao Wu nodded. “I understand, Sis. I promise I won’t make any more mistakes.
If I neglect my customers again, Sis, you can punish me however you want.”
The boss nodded. In the end, she decided to give Little Wu another chance. His family’s circumstances were difficult, and it was indeed not easy.
The boss thought of something and said, “You weren’t like this in the past. Perhaps it’s because you’ve seen all kinds of customers in the past two years as a waiter. You think you’ve seen enough customers and can tell who’s rich and who’s poor at a glance.
“But you should understand that no matter if they are rich or poor, as long as they enter this shop, they are our customers. Moreover, until you reach their level, what right do you have to look down on them?
“At least they have the money to spend in our restaurant. If you brought your family to our restaurant for a meal now, could you afford it?”
It wasn’t that the salary she gave Xiao Wu was low, but he’d sent all the money to his family except for his usual meals and shopping. Sometimes, the family’s needs were more than he could cover.
The boss’s words completely sobered Little Wu up. Only then did he realize that he really couldn’t help but judge these customers because he had seen too many of them.
Little Wu lowered his head. “Sis, you’re right. I’ll remember this lesson, and I’ll definitely correct my attitude..”
