Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Last time, the owner said that when she goes to the prefectural city to open a shop, our workshop will recruit more people. Is it going to start when the owner comes back?”
“I’m sure it is. I’ll go home today and tell my maternal cousins to be prepared.”
“Yes, yes, yes. This is a rare opportunity. After they recruit someone this time, we don’t know when the next time will be.”
Everyone spoke one after another, and a few of them thought too much.
There were more and more people in this workshop. Tong An alone would definitely not be able to manage it. When the time came, the boss would definitely find someone to manage it, even if it was a junior manager.
Hence, for the sake of a good impression, everyone worked extra hard these few days.
However, Gu Yundong did not know that the long-term workers in her small workshop had started to work hard. She sat in the carriage and held Little Yunke in her arms. After the young lady confirmed that she could go to the prefectural city, she was overjoyed.
When the carriage reached the county city, Gu Yundong went to Gu’s first.
As soon as they got off the carriage, she heard Zhuangzi’s arrogant voice. “Yes, yes, yes. You have to wipe it clean over there. Our shop sells food. Cleanliness is the most important. When there are no customers, wash and wipe everything. Be more efficient and diligent. Only then will the customers be in a good mood, right?”
The corners of Gu Yundong’s mouth twitched. She heard Zhuangzi continue, “Jincai, don’t blame me for saying too much. I’m doing this for your own good. When I was the shop assistant, this was how I was trained. You’ll get used to it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Gu Yundong enter. His expression immediately changed and he welcomed her with a smile. “Boss, why are you here?”
Gu Yundong looked at the shop. It was not bad, but Zhuangzi’s attitude of becoming the owner was really… annoying.
Chen Jincai also stopped what he was doing and came over. He had been working here for a few days and was slowly familiarizing himself with the work in the shop. He looked very energetic.
Gu Yundong took a few more glances at him and realized that there was no dissatisfaction on his face. He seemed to have calmed down a lot.
Gu Yundong nodded and asked Zhuangzi, “Where’s Uncle Zheng?”
“He’s in the backyard. I’ll go get him.”
After saying that, he ran away. Zheng Gang almost did not care about the matters in the shop these few days and let Zhuangzi do whatever he wanted. He only gave him a few pointers when necessary.
He spent most of his time counting goods in the warehouse at the back, or simply buying a few vegetables to cook himself. A few days passed quickly.
When Gu Yundong went to the prefectural city, she naturally had to bring Zheng Gang along. He was familiar with the prefectural city, so she had to bring him along when they decided on the location of the shop.
Two days ago, Gu Yundong had already informed Zheng Gang. He should have packed up at this time.
Seeing Zhuangzi run into the backyard, Gu Yundong looked at Chen Jincai. “Brother Chen, are you used to being here?”
“Everything is fine.”
Gu Yundong raised her eyebrows. “I heard Zhuangzi ordering you around even before I came in. He seemed very arrogant.”
The shop assistant, Jiang Bao, who was sending the guests out of the pharmacy next door, happened to hear this and immediately stopped in his tracks.
He had already established a deep friendship with Zhuangzi. Of course, he was on his side.
Seeing that his boss’s future wife was asking the new employee a question in private, he immediately perked up his ears.
Alright, he wanted to see what this person would say about Zhuangzi behind Zhuangzi’s back.
