I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 623 Apology

Chapter 623: Chapter 623 Apology

"Oh, look how lowly he’s positioned himself, like a completely different person from the one at the entrance just now. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would hardly believe it."

"Someone reported that you were especially disrespectful to someone at the entrance earlier. Today, I called you here to discuss this matter. Our restaurant does not tolerate such behavior. Even if a female customer is wrong, you cannot publicly criticize her.

We’ve discussed all these things in training, have you forgotten them? I’m very disappointed in you. I’ve forgiven you over and over again, but you keep making mistakes. Do you really want to see this restaurant go under? What has our product ever done to offend you, that you target me? It really breaks my heart."

The manager spoke with much resignation, having forgiven the person too many times already. If he forgave him again, there would be nothing left to say. He had to set an example and couldn’t let his restaurant fall into such disarray.

"I’m giving you a choice now—either give up your salary for the month or apologize to this lady with sincerity until she forgives you."

The manager turned his head, indicating he did not want to look at Mrs. Hua, for she had played this trick several times before, displaying that particularly aggrieved expression. He himself was somewhat softhearted, often too soft-hearted to enforce penalties, which led him to simply look away.

Mr. Liu found it funny that Mrs. Hua hadn’t expected this retaliation. As soon as she began to speak, she choked, all her theatrical expressions disappearing, leaving her extremely embarrassed. Mrs. Hua had used this trick so many times before, and now she was trying to employ it again, which was just too cliché.

Don’t they realize the manager has become somewhat immune to this? This person has ruined the entire atmosphere of the restaurant. She really should apologize quickly. Such thick-skinned people who still show no remorse, just waiting to be fired, Mr. Liu thought angrily.

With no other choice and not wanting to lose a month’s salary, Mrs. Hua reluctantly stood there and bowed 90 degrees, apologizing to Lin Qi.

But her reluctance was obvious, and even the manager, an outsider, felt uncomfortable hearing her apology. If she was so reluctant, what was the use of apologizing? The manager thought this to himself but prayed the matter would be easily resolved.

He hoped Lin Qi wasn’t the type to be stubborn and unreasonable, as that would make things easier for them, especially since many people had already witnessed the scene and it was quite embarrassing. However, Lin Qi wasn’t one to back down easily. She had provided a very simple solution, and if Mrs. Hua continued to be unwilling to follow it, no one could blame him for being unfriendly.

He had intended to be nicer to her, not to keep pushing her, but it was clear that Mrs. Hua hadn’t taken his words to heart and was even looking for an opportunity to scorn him again. He wouldn’t be nice anymore and stood up to speak:

"If that’s the attitude in your apology, then there’s no need to apologize at all. I do not accept such an apology." Having said that, he glanced at the manager, who seemed about to speak up for Mrs. Hua, hoping to resolve the issue quickly. Lin Qi retorted:

"If, manager, you think that counts as an apology, then I think there’s nothing left to discuss. I don’t have to listen to such an apology; it’s as if I’m forcing him to apologize at knife-point. What’s the point in that? This restaurant is no better than this."

After saying that, she turned to Shen Dong, blinking rapidly, signaling him to back her up quickly. Shen Dong had already decided to support Lin Qi and would not just stand by. He began to speak:

"Manager, if this is the attitude of the apology, then indeed, there’s no need for it. My companion is absolutely right. Let’s just pay the bill and leave. I’m not interested in this kind of apology. It’s better if you keep it for the restaurant owner."

Seeing his clearly angry expression, the manager did not dare say anything more at this point. Mrs. Hua was already a lost cause, so there was no point in speaking further. He coldly told Mrs. Hua, "If you don’t intend to sincerely apologize, then don’t bother picking up this month’s salary. Moreover, we’re firing you.

You no longer have a position here. I’ve given you many chances before, but you never appreciated them, so there’s no point now. You may leave right away, and don’t bother with an apology. Did you hear what the lady just said? Your apology isn’t sincere, so it’s useless anyway. Mr. Liu, please take her to collect her salary and help her pack her belongings.

Move out from the staff dormitory by today and leave this place; I don’t want to see you anymore; it irritates me just to look at you." After saying this, Mr. Liu felt even happier that he could finally oust this woman.

Mrs. Hua was truly panicked and hastily bowed at a 90-degree angle, her tone especially sincere as she said, "I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, truly sorry. I was just reacting, which is why I said so many awful things. Miss, please don’t take them to heart; none of it was what I really meant. I hope you can forgive me."

This apology seemed much more sincere, and tears even appeared in her eyes; she looked genuinely scared. Lin Qi raised an eyebrow. Sometimes it’s hard to admit, but that’s the harsh reality—genuine feelings are useless, and the only useful thing is money. With money, you can make her do anything.

"Sir, Miss, please look at her current attitude. I don’t know if it satisfies you, but if not, we can continue to make her apologize until you are satisfied." He said this with a smile, as Shen Dong’s words had made it clear that if this matter wasn’t handled properly, it would go straight to the boss.

If it reached the boss, no one would be in a good position, especially since it reflected poor management on his part. He might even have to give up his managerial position; after all, he had fought hard to reach it.
