Xiao Xitian wrinkled her little nose, filled with anger.
Her sister-in-law's actions had seriously crossed her boundaries. Today, Xiao Xitian had to make it clear to her who the real manager of Yungui Workshop was…
Seeing the two little buns suddenly appear before her, Zhao Guihua was stunned for two seconds. She immediately sent the young maid away and smiled as she approached Xiao Xitian. "Xitian, why are you here? Haven't you eaten yet? Wait a moment, and your sister-in-law will personally cook your favorite steamed egg custard…"
"Sister-in-law, what happened to that little maid just now?" Xiao Xitian asked directly, cutting to the chase.
The girl was only thirteen or fourteen. Perhaps she was a bit clumsy due to Zhao Guihua's scolding and curses, but she wasn't completely useless…
As soon as this topic was brought up, Zhao Guihua became furious. "Don't even mention it. That little maid has been here for three days, and she's good at nothing but eating. She can't even sweep the floor properly. If I scold her a few times, she cries pitifully!~"
After speaking, Zhao Guihua carefully observed Xiao Xitian's expression and noticed that she seemed a bit off today…
She appeared more serious than usual.
"Sister-in-law, you're not scolding her; you're insulting her!" Xiao Xitian frowned, staring at Zhao Guihua. "What do you mean by 'go home and feed pigs'? What do you mean by 'too young to do anything'? You constantly curse her and target her; how can she do her job well?"
Although the business of Yungui Workshop was booming, Sister-in-law Guihua's management style had some issues…
If it wasn't corrected promptly, the restaurant's business would soon decline.
Zhao Guihua blinked blankly, surprised. "Xi-, Xitian, are you blaming your sister-in-law for not managing the shop well and causing you losses?"
She couldn't understand what was going on with her sister-in-law today.
Why did she come here to interrogate her for no reason?
This time, before Xiao Xitian could answer, Xiao Jinheng spoke first. "Xitian doesn't blame sister-in-law. She just wants to say a few things upfront, so that Sister-in-law Guihua knows who the owner of Yungui Workshop is…"
Zhao Guihua: "???"
These two little buns were so inexplicable.
How could they be so disrespectful?
Although Sweet Baby had a very high status at home, and Young Master Xiao was not to be trifled with, Zhao Guihua was still an elder…
Were two little children supposed to talk to elders like this?
Seeing Zhao Guihua's bewildered look, Xiao Xitian continued, "Sister-in-law, are you still short of any errand boys in the shop?"
She had realized that with her sister-in-law's bossy and aggressive management style, no employee would stay…
Zhao Guihua suppressed her inner frustration and nodded. "Yes, we are short of two employees. What's wrong?"
"When Brother Kong asked you if you were hiring, why did you say the staff was full and you didn't need anyone?" Xiao Xitian retorted.
Zhao Guihua: "……"
No, Sweet Baby, why are you speaking like you're interrogating a criminal?
Don't we sisters-in-law have a harmonious relationship? We don't have any grudges, do we?
Zhao Guihua's face darkened, and she sat down on a stool, patting her apron. "Xitian, you must understand that since you've entrusted Yungui Workshop to your sister-in-law to manage, it's best not to ask about certain things. Take hiring employees, for example. When we're short-handed, can I run back to the village to ask for your permission?"
Hmph, you're a hands-off boss who doesn't manage anything, yet you have the nerve to come here and question her…
You can't just rely on everyone pampering you and act like a tyrant, can you?
"Sister-in-law, what you said is different!" Xiao Xitian narrowed her eyes. "Although I asked you to help look after the shop, the entire Yungui Workshop, including this building, belongs to me. Sister-in-law, you can't distinguish between primary and secondary matters, you don't listen to any advice, and you even complain that I'm meddling. What? Do you think I'm usually quiet and timid, so I'm easy to bully?"
For so many years, Xiao Xitian had never lost her temper with Zhao Guihua…
But her sister-in-law's words today were too harsh, and she didn't even take her seriously anymore.
If she didn't discipline her now, Yungui Workshop might be renamed Zhao Gui Workshop in the future.
Hearing this, Zhao Guihua quickly stood up and took Xiao Xitian's hand. "Oh, Sweet Baby, sister-in-law didn't mean that. You… what are you thinking in that little head of yours? Is your sister-in-law such a heartless person?"
She severely blamed herself for what she had just said…
At home, you can afford to offend anyone but Sweet Baby.
Otherwise, with Father and Da Man's stubborn temper, wouldn't they just kick her out?
Xiao Xitian pulled her hand away and said expressionlessly, "If Sister-in-law doesn't want to manage the shop anymore, then go back to the village. I'll find another manager, so you don't have to worry and be exhausted, and constantly get angry with the employees…"
"That won't do!" Zhao Guihua flatly refused, pulling a dry smile. "Xitian, sister-in-law's tone was a bit harsh just now. Please don't take it to heart. Running a restaurant has always been sister-in-law's dream. If it weren't for Xitian's help, sister-in-law would still be sewing quilts in the village, wouldn't she? How would she have the chance to be a manager? Xitian, sister-in-law still needs to thank you properly…"
Xiao Xitian was immune to these pleasantries. She turned her face away, ignoring her.
Xiao Jinheng sneered, "Sister-in-law Guihua, Xitian is angry because Sister-in-law is too self-righteous. Xitian wanted to send someone to Yungui Workshop as an employee, but Sister-in-law ignored her and even drove Kong Xingzhu out of the shop. Sister-in-law, why don't you try to put yourself in Xitian's shoes? If you were Xitian, would you not get angry when something like this happened?"
His father often taught him to look at problems from the other person's perspective to avoid detours…
Zhao Guihua murmured after hearing this, "Yungui Workshop is one of the top restaurants in the county town. We can't just accept anyone, can we?"
Xiao Jinheng: "……"
So, the little village child's words were said in vain. You really can't distinguish between primary and secondary matters.
Xiao Xitian said indifferently, "If Sister-in-law still wants to continue managing Yungui Workshop, you must report the situation of the restaurant to me every month. The accounts must also be carefully reconciled. I will check them thoroughly. Employee transfers must also be approved by me before they can be carried out. Do you understand?"
Zhao Guihua: "……"
Sweet Baby, you want to be a dictator.
But to suppress Xiao Xitian's anger, Zhao Guihua could only nod repeatedly and readily agree.
Xiao Xitian and Xiao Jinheng visited the cheese shop on the second floor again before getting into the carriage and heading to the inn where Han Chijiao was staying.
"Does the little village child still plan to send Niu Caixia to Yungui Workshop?" Xiao Jinheng suddenly asked.
Xiao Xitian closed her eyes. "No need!~"
Even if Sister Niu was sent there, within three days, she would be bullied away by Zhao Guihua…
The carriage drove along the street for a while before finally stopping in front of a luxurious inn.
