"Manager Yang" is just Sister Xi's job, not everything about Sister Xi. In her heart, Yang Xi is still the head girl who protects her shortcomings.
The first sword that Sister Xi swung failed to hit the person who bullied her apprentice Deng Juan, and almost scratched the innocent Wen Ying.
During the Chinese New Year, Yang Xi went straight to Wen Ying's community. While waiting for Wen Ying to come out, Yang Xi glanced at the fruit shop at the entrance of the community.
Don't bother buying two bags of fruit and stand at the gate of the community again.
Wen Ying came out and saw the fruit and was surprised: "Oh, you know how to give gifts to people now?"
How rare!
Hearing Yang Xi's tone on the phone, Wen Ying thought she was going to be hacked. Unexpectedly, Yang Xi actually understood the world and didn't come to the door empty-handed.
Yang Xi's smile froze slightly: "It's Chinese New Year. You are one of my bosses after all, so of course you have to give me some New Year goods."
With 5% of the shares, and usually not caring about the daily affairs of the 'Shrimp King', Wen Ying, the boss, has about zero intimidation to Yang Xi.
Yang Xi has indeed developed a sophistication in her work. Wen Ying did not expose her, "You were so aggressive on the phone that you wanted to settle a score with me. Why don't you say anything when you see me now?"
Isn’t that an evil fire?
Yang Xi smiled dryly, "I care but I am confused... But none of you told me about Deng Juan. Are you treating me like an outsider?"
Yang Xi was willing to speak in a good manner, and Wen Ying did not embarrass her.
"There is no difference between treating you as an insider or an outsider. If your surname is not Deng, the matter will have to wait until Sister Dengjuan comes back to resolve the matter."
Deng Juan will stay in the capital until tomorrow.
Living conditions have improved in the past two years, and some customers will choose to book New Year's Eve banquets in restaurants. The whole family can have a lively meal without having to prepare before or wash the dishes after the meal. This is gradually forming a new trend.
'Shrimp King' targets mid-range consumption and has launched a special menu for New Year's Eve, so the seats for the New Year's Eve banquet in several stores are basically booked.
Deng Juan is busy with New Year's Eve, so she can return to Chengdu on the first day of the first lunar month at the earliest, and later on the second or third day of the lunar month.
"Or just don't come back!"
Yang Xi snorted: "She is so honest. She never knows how to write the word 'reject'. She only dares to say she won't go back to her hometown by using her busy work as an excuse."
Wen Ying thought about it and felt that what Yang Xi said made sense.
Escape is not the solution to the problem. If you insist on evading, it can be regarded as a kind of soft resistance.
"If Sister Dengjuan can never come back, I will admire her!"
Yang Xi chuckled, "Then let's give her more work."
After New Year's Eve, 'Shrimp King' stores in Beijing will be closed for half a month and will not reopen until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
It’s okay for Deng Juan to stay in Beijing until Shrimp King reopens. She will definitely return to Chengdu.
But returning to Chengdu does not mean returning to my hometown.
Yang Xi rubbed her chin, ready to find some excuse to keep Deng Juan in Rongcheng.
It is best to help Deng Xi spend the money he has, so as not to be missed if he has no money.
Yang Xi was about to ask Wen Ying about buying a house, but Wen Ying's eyes were involuntarily attracted to several people across the street.
Wen Ying subconsciously rubbed her eyes.
My eyesight is not blurry and I didn’t see it wrong... But why are the Deng family here?!
A swaying drunkard.
A boy who is depressed but has clean soles.
With a reserved expression, she carefully looked at the peasant woman in the bustling city.
There is also a rural woman who looks a bit like Deng Juan, but looks at least ten years older than Deng Juan, holding a little baby in her arms.
Good guy, the Deng family has all gathered together. Are they going to summon the dragon?!
"What are you looking at-"
Yang Xi was pulled aside by Wen Ying before she could even see the figure.
Yang Xi finally stood firm, and Wen Ying made a "shh" gesture at her to signal her not to speak loudly.
Yang Xi looked carefully this time. These people all looked more or less similar to Deng Juan.
Yang Xi suddenly understood and lowered his voice and asked: "...the Deng family?!"
Wen Ying nodded lightly.
Yang Xi was about to roll up her sleeves immediately, but Wen Ying held her tight: "Hitting people won't solve the problem. Just wait for me to make a call."
Wen Ying has been to Deng Shangwei's hometown and chatted with the villagers. She has never met Deng Juan's family - but it's hard to say. What if Deng Juan's family can recognize her?
It's best to be cautious.
Wen Ying turned around and called.
The first time, Deng Shangwei didn’t pick up the call.
The second time, Deng Shangwei finally answered.
"Sakura, I'm eating out..."
Business people are the busiest in the New Year, and the socializing is not finished until New Year's Eve. Deng Shangwei's background sound on the other end of the phone is very noisy. It is already afternoon. Is this the noon game that has not ended yet?
In just a short time, the Deng family members had crossed the road and walked towards the gate of the community.
Wen Ying covered the receiver: "Uncle, Sister Dengjuan's family is here. Her parents, her younger brother, and her eldest sister are bringing a little baby. They must be here to block Sister Dengjuan."
The Deng family did not know that Deng Juan had gone to the capital to work, and thought that Deng Juan was still working as a nanny at Deng Shangwei's house.
Father Deng, an alcoholic, tried to talk to Deng Shangwei several times, but he was scolded away by Deng Shangwei.
In previous years, Deng Juan would have returned to her hometown on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month at the latest. This year, on the 29th, Deng Juan was still saying that she was busy with work and couldn't leave - she was just a nanny, and she didn't sell herself to Deng Shangwei. Why couldn't she leave?
.
Father Deng became more and more convinced that his daughter had some evil intentions and deliberately did not return to the countryside.
OK.
If you don't go back to the countryside, you can run away, but the monk can't run away from the temple!
Deng's father simply dragged his family and his family to Chengdu to look for someone.
He is Deng Juan's biological father, and it is only natural for a father to find his own daughter.
How to find the community where Deng Shangwei lives, Deng Juan's family still spent a lot of effort. They only knew Deng Shangwei's address before he moved, but they didn't know the new community after he moved.
It’s been a day or two since the Deng family inquired about the address of Deng Shangwei’s new home.
Speaking of which, Deng Juan has not been at home for more than half a year.
Every time I asked, he said he couldn't leave, and he pushed the envelope twice. The money he sent home every month became less and less, only a mere five hundred yuan. Deng's father's dissatisfaction had long been accumulated to the extreme.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know the address of Deng Shangwei’s home. Deng Shangwei raises fish in the village. When setting up the fish pond, the truck has to go back and forth between the village and Chengdu. The fish are brought directly to Deng Shangwei’s aquatic products company.
Deng Shangwei's shop in Qingshiqiao has undergone many changes over the years, and the Deng family has always found the right one.
Deng's father only said that he was a relative from his hometown and brought some freshly smoked bacon to see Deng Shangwei. He could also tell the specific situation of Deng Shangwei's family, so the employees in the shop were not too suspicious.
Every year, family members come to give gifts to Deng Shangwei. Some come to study for their children, while others want to find a job in the city. Deng Shangwei helps all those he can. Both the aquatic products company and the store are not surprised by this situation.
After Deng Shangwei thought for a moment, he could roughly guess how Deng Juan's family found the community.
Boss Deng's head was numb with anger, and he wanted to persuade Wen Ying to calm down: "Don't conflict with them, wait until I come back."
Wen Ying was not pushy and dragged Yang Xi into the community.
The Deng family also wanted to enter the community, but the guard didn't recognize them, and they couldn't tell them the specific unit or house number, so the guard wouldn't let them in.
Thanks to the high-end community, the real estate management, and the separation of people and vehicles, Deng Shangwei drove the car to the underground parking lot and put it away to go home, while the family was still lingering outside the community gate!
But this is not a solution either.
While Chen Li was inviting Wen Ying and Yang Xi to eat fruit, she complained to Deng Shangwei who had just returned home: "Did we not go out during the Spring Festival to avoid them?"
