Chapter 244: Chapter 244 Getting Played

Cheng Su had no idea that Qi Taiguo was on his way back, and just as she was preparing to hire more staff, a major incident occurred at the restaurant. The customer who had placed an order for Buddha Jumps Over the Wall yesterday could not be found!

Song Xiaojang glared at Cao Xiaohu and pressed him repeatedly, "Did you search thoroughly? Could you have delivered to the wrong address?"

"I didn’t, it’s all clearly written here." Cao Xiaohu said with a mournful face, pointing at the slip of paper with the delivery address written on it: "I asked several times, the people there said there wasn’t such a person, that I had delivered to the wrong place!"

"How is that possible? That was a living person; could we really be seeing ghosts in broad daylight?" Song Xiaojang was very panicked.

This order for Buddha Jumps Over the Wall had been taken by his father, and now there was nobody to receive it. The ten yuan deposit given by the customer was nowhere near enough to cover the cost of the dish. What would Cheng Su think?

Song Xiaojang instinctively looked at Cheng Su, wondering how she would handle the situation. Would there be a penalty?

However, even if there were to be a penalty, it would just be bad luck!

"How about I go deliver it one more time and look again?" Cao Xiaohu knew the price of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was very high, so he suggested with a pained expression.

"There’s no need."

Old Song and Cheng Su spoke in unison, exchanging a glance.

"There’s no need to deliver again." Cheng Su said with a smile: "Isn’t it just a Buddha Jumps Over the Wall? If the customer has skipped out on the order, let’s eat it ourselves. Come to think of it, everyone has been working in Joy Soon Loy for so long, and I’ve never treated you all to a meal. Let’s eat this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall today. Old Song, stir-fry a couple more dishes, consider it a welcoming meal with everyone."

"How can this be!" Old Song shook his head and said: "This order was taken by me, and it was my oversight. I should have collected the full price in the first place, and then this wouldn’t have happened. So, the cost of this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall should come out of my salary."

Old Song was full of regret. The Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish used expensive and refined ingredients, and he had only collected a ten yuan deposit. The cost was far from being recovered. This was a significant loss!

"Old Song, how can it be right to deduct it from your salary? Doing business is like this, when we open our doors, we speak of integrity. It’s inevitable to take a deposit, but it’s unreasonable to demand full payment upfront. As for today’s Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, either the customer noted down the wrong address or..." Cheng Su’s lips pursed: "If it wasn’t the customer misremembering the address, then it was done on purpose. Someone is deliberately messing with Joy Soon Loy!"

Everyone’s expression changed.

"Who, which bastard, when I find out, I won’t let them live!" Song Xiaojang immediately flew into a rage.

"Regardless of who it is, they were targeting Joy Soon Loy. Everyone needs to be more careful. Old Song, you’re in charge of the kitchen, pay extra attention to food hygiene. Well, since we’re eating this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall today, I would like to ask everyone to put in a little extra effort and thoroughly clean inside and out today, so we can maintain cleanliness and avoid giving people a reason to nitpick," Cheng Su thought for a moment then said, trying to sound relaxed.

Actually, despite the relaxed look on her face, she was boiling with anger inside. She ran her business with integrity, never taking advantage of anyone. When they had just opened, she had to deal with people who left without paying for their meals, and now someone was deliberately playing tricks, duping them.

A Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish, no matter how costly it was to make, she could afford the loss. However, making such a dish was not only expensive in terms of the ingredients but also required more manpower and preparation, not to mention the careful cooking process, all of which was hard work. Having someone mess with them like this not only affected the mood but could also impact the morale of the employees.

This was unforgivable.

She had no idea which vile person would play such a prank on Joy Soon Loy; it was infuriating and hateful.
