"Miss, everything has been arranged,"
Zhang Shunlai replied respectfully, beckoning at two of the people there.
"Miss, this man is called Zhang Deye, who is quite eloquent. I think he would make a good manager on the second floor. This other one, named Zheng Feng, knows something about herbs. I think he would do well in charge of the third floor."
"Your surname is Zhang too. What a coincidence," Lin Caisang looked at Zhang Deye and remarked.
This young man called Zhang Deye did look somewhat like Zhang Shunlai. Could there be a familial connection?
"Miss, this Zhang Deye is..."
Just as Lin Caisang was thinking this and Zhang Shunlai was about to explain, suddenly, an angry voice sounded by her ears.
"Boss, Zhang Deye is merely Zhang Shunlai’s nephew. He was brought in by Zhang Shunlai himself. Moreover, Zhang Deye isn’t as good as Zhang Shunlai claims he is. He can’t do anything. In his previous employer’s household, he was just a dogsbody."
Turning toward the sound of the voice, Lin Caisang saw a good-looking young man glowering hatefully at Zhang Shunlai and giving Zhang Deye a resentful look.
Lin Caisang glanced at Zhang Deye, raised an eyebrow, and then looked at the young man.
What a pity, such a good-looking face, but he didn’t even know what he was doing to ruin it.
"Yes, boss. Don’t trust this Zhang Shunlai. In his previous employment, he used to favor this nephew of his. Now that he has been sold by his previous employer, and arrived here, he even brought this dogsbody of a nephew over. It’s really harming your reputation."
Frustration was evident in the young man’s words, as if he had some sort of grudge against Zhang Shunlai.
"Old Zhang, you used to run a wine house, right? Why did you work for other bosses?" Lin Caisang furrowed her brow and turned her gaze to Zhe Jue.
"Miss Lin, according to my research, Zhang Shunlai was sold to a pawn shop due to a crime he committed. We were the first to buy him," Zhe Jue, upon catching Lin Caisang’s glance, immediately stepped forward and explained this to her.
"Miss, I indeed signed a contract in my previous place, but I was still a free man. It’s true that Zhang Deye did odd jobs in my previous employer’s winery, but I wasn’t lying to you, Miss. Zhang Deye is indeed a rare talent..."
Zhang Shunlai still wanted to put in a good word for his nephew, but upon seeing Lin Caisang raise her hand slightly, he immediately closed his mouth.
Lin Caisang’s eyes swept over Zhang Deye. Seeing his anxious look at Zhang Shunlai, he didn’t seem fearful, but more concerned that Zhang Shunlai, his uncle, would offend her.
On the other side, the young man who had lodged a complaint in front of her, seeing Zhang Shunlai in a predicament, couldn’t hide the smug look on his face.
She shook her head with a light laugh.
"Old Zhang, the hiring for the Snack House, where these people should be placed, you decide. But..."
Her gaze sharpened and swept across the young man. She walked over to him step by step. Zhang Shunlai naturally wanted to follow her, and she looked at him.
"There’s one type of person that I don’t tolerate here, and that’s those who aren’t loyal to me. You brought him here, right? Hmm?"
"Yes, Miss. This man is called..."
