Chapter 621: Chapter 621: Consider Yourself Unlucky
Perhaps it was the feeling that after working here for so many years, everyone was supposed to accommodate her opinions. No matter how rich one was, at this place, one had to heed Mrs. Hua’s moods. Anyone unaware of the situation might have thought she owned the place, yet her role was just typical gatekeeping.
When the waiter heard that the situation had nothing to do with him and that there was a potential spectacle, he did not hesitate at all. He immediately took the menu back to the cashier, instructed the kitchen to prepare the orders, and then went out to fetch the manager, his eyes burning with curiosity.
Everyone was already very curious about when Mrs. Hua would be fired. With such a significant client looking for trouble today, it was definitely a scene worth watching. The substantial order placed by the client, especially the expensive items ordered by the lady, showed no signs of frugality, which was enough evidence to prove the client’s wealth.
This incident could only mean that Mrs. Hua was simply out of luck.
Encountering such a client, Lin Qi smiled and didn’t expect Shen Dong to really take this matter into consideration right then and there. "Okay, not bad at all, quite protective indeed. Having such a boss, I think I can accept that," she thought, and just made herself comfortable in her seat.
"By the way, there’s something I would like to discuss with you. I’ve been working on a software that needs an endorser, and I think your qualities are quite impressive. Would you consider not limiting yourself to the bar scene? There’s not much of a future in it. How about giving it a try?" Shen Dong offered an olive branch.
Uttering these words, he felt that this young woman shouldn’t be wasting her potential like this, believing she could achieve much more. Thus, he wanted to give her this opportunity, but whether she accepted it was up to her.
Since it was uncertain how much money the software would make, if it didn’t make money, that would be a significant setback in her career. Ultimately, it depended on what the young woman thought.
Now having said that, Lin Qi was unsure if she was curious. Upon hearing this, she raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised that Shen Dong gave her a choice to endorse a software.
The whole idea sounded rather intriguing, and certainly upscale compared to the bar, and seeing that he was willing to give her a chance, she thought to give it a try, especially since she was quite poor at the moment.
Whatever method could bring in money seemed good to Lin Qi at the moment, and she said, "If it can make money, then I’m really open to any method, just provide the opportunity."
"Alright, if you’re willing, I can arrange it for you. This software is currently in development. It’s designed by me and my team and is just getting started. If you trust me, you can give it a try. If not, no worries, I won’t forcibly demand your participation, everyone at my bar is treated the same.
You can also continue working at the bar while endorsing this software, that’s allowed. It’s up to you what you think of this, but let’s not talk too much right now since the software hasn’t launched yet. If we talk too much and it fails, I wouldn’t want to oversell it to you,"
Shen Dong said smilingly and then raised his glass; he clinked it against the one filled with plain water, signaling a pleasant collaboration. Lin Qi, unexpectedly considered by Shen Dong as a partner in his plans to such an open extent, had nothing to conceal; it seemed he really regarded her as a collaborator.
If he was so open with her, why should she have any fear? She might as well participate since she believed he wouldn’t harm her. Occasionally, Lin Qi was quite accurate in judging people, so she raised her glass filled with water and said, "Alright, I agree."
The meal was enjoyed by everyone. At the end, the manager came over, his expression filled with respect—one that came from working here for a long time, accustomed to wealthy clients, hence the lowly posture. The first thing he did upon approaching was to quickly say,
"Is this Mr. Shen? I saw the registration over there just now and truly apologize for the oversight. We let you have an unpleasant dining experience here, and we will definitely rectify it promptly. Are you talking about Mrs. Hua earlier? I will have someone fetch her and have her apologize to the lady first; it was not our intention.
Our training has always been very strict; I don’t know why Mrs. Hua keeps making mistakes. This is the third time, so we have decided to dismiss her. After she’s apologized, we will settle her wages and send her away. Will this resolution satisfy you, Mr. Shen?"
The manager spoke straightforwardly without sparing any feelings, treating the dismissal of Mrs. Hua as a minor matter. Lin Qi raised her eyebrows, surprised that the work they were so proud of was so easily discarded just for a quick verbal victory, causing their job to be lost.
There was nowhere left to make money in the latter half of one’s life, and considering how she looked, aiming to catch a wealthy husband at that place seemed overly ambitious and blamed on no one but herself. If it hadn’t been Shen Dong today, others would have complained eventually. It was only a matter of time before this disagreeable woman would have to leave, so sometimes it’s better to focus on oneself and maintain good conduct.
Nothing else mattered much anymore. Shen Dong simply placed his hand on the table and looked at the manager, saying, "What happened was not an offense against me, but against this lady here. How you handle it and the outcome, could you please ask her? If she is satisfied, we can consider this matter concluded.
However, if she is unsatisfied, then the issue remains unresolved. This is my first visit to your restaurant, having come on someone else’s recommendation, unknown to me that the experience would be so poor.
You would not want me to share some words about this restaurant in our circle, right? If it comes to that, I can only say that this restaurant can only develop this far."
