Chapter 500: Chapter 500 Greater Backing_1

The manager’s voice went cold after hearing that remark. Mr. Zhang had caused problems before, but they were always easily resolved with a nod and an apology. Thus, the manager hadn’t said much about it.

Each time an issue arose, he would just scold Mr. Zhang a few more times. Apart from being vain and mocking customers, which wasn’t good, Mr. Zhang had worked diligently without any other problems. And then there was that relative of his who held a high position, which made it difficult for anyone to criticize or accuse him.

The manager had borne it until now, but the complaints weren’t a one-off; he had already warned Mr. Zhang for the last time, telling him to stop his shenanigans. Unfortunately, Mr. Zhang hadn’t taken his words to heart.

"Look at yourself, I’ve told you so many times not to get too close to the customers or harass them excessively. Why don’t you listen? If you keep making these mistakes, how can I keep you here? After you go back, just pack your bags and leave.

I won’t stop you from finding employment elsewhere, but just don’t let your supervisor relative come looking for me again. You don’t know how that makes me lose face. Those customers who’ve complained about you always come asking me why you haven’t been transferred out yet. Is their word not enough?"

You have no idea how difficult you make it for me, but each time I want to give you another chance, you just don’t appreciate it. I feel like you might as well stop working here and find somewhere new since you won’t change your ways. You won’t achieve anything in the future if you continue like this. Consider this my final warning."

When he spoke these words in his heart, he didn’t come across as extreme; he just stated them calmly to make sure the other party could understand. As a long-serving employee, the manager was familiar with various aspects of the job, which Kang Yue greatly valued. It would be even better if such a person could work for her.

As these thoughts crossed his mind, a higher-level executive arrived—the senior management. The relationships within this restaurant were complex and interwoven. When Mr. Zhang heard the manager’s remarks, he felt unjustly treated. He wasn’t without skills; just an ordinary waiter, but he had many relatives.

Just like how there were even higher-ranking relatives above his supervisor relative, how could he possibly not be protected? Seeing that more powerful individual approach,

he immediately started to cry pitifully, as if he had suffered a great injustice at the hands of many people crowding around him. The higher-ranking relative, also being a face-conscious person, didn’t care much for closeness. But after all, he was related to him.

So without any regard for saving face, he went over to the manager with a stern face and asked what exactly was going on, witnessing the chaos upon arrival.

"What’s going on here? I leave this place in your hands, and this is how you manage it? Are you not living up to my expectations, or do you think my word no longer means anything here? I’m truly disappointed in you.

I had high hopes for you, believing you could make this place thrive and handle affairs impartially. But it seems you’ve taken my words lightly, even allowing others to bully our own people. This is unforgivable. Perhaps it’s time for you to consider changing jobs."

After saying that, the supervisor looked around with a cold face. Mr. Zhang, relishing in the manager’s discomfort, always despised the manager for constantly reprimanding him as if he were some high-and-mighty figure. Now, he watched with satisfaction as the manager was rebuked by his own superior. Pretending to be deeply hurt, Mr. Zhang piped up:

"There’s no need, Uncle. You don’t have to dismiss capable people on my account. The manager is actually quite good, except when he targets me, but his work ethic is impeccable.

He works with such trepidation every time, sometimes I even admire how he does it. It’s just that sometimes I can’t stand what he does to me, but it’s not serious enough to warrant dismissal. Uncle, please don’t just rashly fire people. After all, that might benefit others.

Let’s not pursue this matter further. It’s okay if I suffer a bit. I’m willing to accept the manager’s critique since sometimes what he says is actually right, and I’m willing to listen. Uncle, you don’t need to be angry, I can keep going."

After Mr. Zhang finished speaking, he wiped away a nonexistent tear, as if he had been terribly bullied. Kang Yue gaped in astonishment, her eyes so wide she could have swallowed an egg. She had never seen a woman act so well, daring to flirt openly with the customers.

It turned out he had a high-ranking relative to rely on, which made a difference. Though just influential within the restaurant, able to invest in it, one wouldn’t lead a poor life, but why cling to even wealthier people?

Kang Yue didn’t understand, but after watching the level of acting skills displayed, she knew this woman must be adept at acting in her daily life. Indeed, she was impressive; maybe she should be recommended for the entertainment industry.

At that pace, she would surely sweep all the Best Actress awards. "Head Supervisor, I’ve never intended to do anything wrong. Everything I’ve done is part of my job. Look at my work here—do you see anything inappropriate?

I scolded Mr. Zhang today because he made mistakes that employees shouldn’t make. I just said a few more words than usual, after having warned him several times before. But Mr. Zhang keeps repeating the same mistakes, not knowing how many times customers have complained about him. I had no choice but to suggest that he pack up and leave," the manager explained.
