192 Chapter 192 Fired
On the morning of the third day, after Zhou Ying had prepared the base and dipping sauce for the hotpot in the restaurant, she had bought half a pig and a hundred pounds of rice. After that, she rented an ox cart and rushed to the manor.
However, the two didn’t step forward to get involved when the roof was lifted. The owners of the houses then came forward to receive the gifts she had prepared for them.
After they were done with their work, everyone had a good meal together. After the meal, the couple rushed back to town.
“Babe, should we buy another cart?” Gu Chengrui asked when they were about to part. “It’s troublesome to keep depending on one donkey cart.”
“True, then I’ll buy the most ordinary-looking one. I don’t want to be targeted by others.”
“I understand. I’ll get an advance from the clinic.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he turned around and returned to his clinic.
While there was no one in the kitchen, Zhou Ying changed her phone and took it back to her room, where she looked through it carefully.
As expected, when no one was around at noon, Chunhong went to the kitchen. She wrapped a small amount of each seasoning and quietly exited the kitchen.
Zhou Ying’s eyes narrowed when she saw this. It seemed that Chunhong was really here for the recipe. Unfortunately, she usually prepared the seasoning for the hotpot by herself and never put it in the kitchen, so no matter how much she took, she couldn’t come up with the recipe for the hotpot base.
However, she knew that Chunhong couldn’t stay anymore. Otherwise, who knew what she would do next?
So, before work began in the afternoon, Zhou Ying took a hundred coppers from the cabinet, called Chunhong to the backyard, and handed it to her. “Cchunhong, I’ve realized that the work here isn’t suitable for you. You’d better find another job. This is double the salary for the past few days. Consider it a small compensation from us.”
“Why? I’ve been doing a good job these days. I’ve been strictly following the restaurant’s rules and regulations.” Chunhong said indignantly.
“Then recite the fourth rule.” Zhou Ying sneered.
“You are not allowed to steal in the restaurant, and you must hand over a guest’s belongings if you picked them up.” After Chunhong finished reciting, she was stunned for a moment as she thought of something, and her expression turned ugly.
Zhou Ying said directly, “I think you already understand the reason. I don’t need to say anything further, right? It’ll be embarra.s.sing if I continue.”
Chunhong’s face turned red after she heard that. Then, she puffed up her cheeks and glared at Zhou Ying angrily before turning around and running out.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying shook her head and began getting busy.
When she was almost done with her work, Gu Chengrui drove an unremarkable carriage to the main entrance. After Zhou Ying received the news, she immediately called Da Hua over.
As for Tian Jiaw.a.n.g, he had to wait for Qian Zhuang and the others before he could go back.
After dinner, Gu Chengrui asked, “Did you fire Chunhong today?”
“Yes. This afternoon, she stole some spices from the kitchen, so I fired her.” Zhou Ying then asked curiously, “Have you found out who Sun Liang is?”
She was sure Chunhong would contact the person who ordered her around if she was fired.
“Yes, Sun Liang is his current name. He used to be the manager of Dongxin Restaurant, w.a.n.g Quan.”
“w.a.n.g Quan? Could it be the Qiao family?”
“It’s very likely. It seems like they’re going to make a move, and we must be careful.”
“I’m fine, but you have to be careful when you make a house visitation. Don’t let anyone take advantage of that.”
Gu Chengrui nodded in agreement. “I will be careful. The same goes for the restaurant.”
“Haha, I’ve installed a camera in the kitchen. If anyone dares do anything, I’ll not let them off.”
Gu Chengrui was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled. “Alright, but be careful. Don’t let anyone find out. Otherwise, it’ll be bad for you.”
