Chapter 98: Chapter 98 Seeking Death_1

"What? Fired? Meizizi Hot Pot turned into Shuidilao?" Chen Yuting was stunned.

Standing there, she didn’t know what to do.

Should she ask the people at Shuidilao if they were still hiring, if there was still a chance she could get into the procurement department?

While she was thinking these things, a young man came out of the office.

Seeing that Chen Yuting was a stranger standing at the door, he asked, "Miss, you are...?"

Chen Yuting snapped back to reality, clenched her teeth, and said, "Hello, I’m here for the job interview."

Since she was already there, she decided to give it a try.

"You’re here for an interview?" the young man realized, seeing that Chen Yuting was beautiful, he warmly said, "Miss, let me take you to the human resources department, please follow me."

"Okay, thank you," Chen Yuting expressed her gratitude.

"You’re too polite, miss," the young man said with a smile.

Such beauties were rare; having a girlfriend like her would make a man wake up smiling from his dreams.

They chatted as they walked toward the human resources department.

In this process, the young man introduced himself as Yang Hai and asked for Chen Yuting’s name.

Just as Yang Hai was about to ask for Chen Yuting’s WeChat, he suddenly noticed a group of executives walking down the hallway toward them.

Yang Hai immediately moved aside and gestured for Chen Yuting to do the same.

He didn’t dare to bump into the company’s higher-ups.

The leader of the group was General Manager Chen Yuanxiang.

Yesterday, Chen Yuanxiang had gathered all the employees for a large meeting, saying that all the stores would close for a month for renovations, and all staff were to be trained, among other initiatives.

These initiatives remedied many of the management’s deficiencies, giving many ordinary employees hope for promotion.

Before, the company’s promotion system was very rigid, and ordinary employees saw no hope; they worked just for the paycheck without much enthusiasm.

Many employees were just getting by, ready to jump ship at a better opportunity.

Now it was different, Chen Yuanxiang’s initiatives had removed the barriers to their promotion.

As long as one worked hard, took initiative, and achieved results, there were opportunities for promotion to middle or even senior management positions.

Therefore, the ordinary staff held this new general manager in high regard.

Chen Yuting was extremely curious and looked forward as the group of people surrounding a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes with a commanding presence approached, and her eyes widened.

"Why is Dad here?"

In fact, in Chen Yuting’s heart, there was only one father.

She would only call Dong Qikang "Dad" when she absolutely had to.

When facing Chen Yuanxiang, or talking about Chen Yuanxiang, she naturally referred to him as Dad.

"That person at the forefront is the new general manager of Shuidilao," Yang Hai quickly said as Chen Yuanxiang and his group drew near, then he promptly greeted him, "Mr. Chen, hello."

Chen Yuanxiang looked at Yang Hai and nodded slightly.

When he saw Chen Yuting standing beside Yang Hai, he paused in surprise and stopped in his tracks.

The executives following him also came to a halt.

"Dad is the general manager of Shuidilao?"

When Chen Yuting heard Yang Hai’s words, her mind buzzed.

Seeing Chen Yuanxiang notice her, she immediately came back to her senses, her eyes somewhat panicked, and she felt completely at a loss.

"Yuting, what are you doing here?" Chen Yuanxiang stepped forward and asked.

"I..." Chen Yuting opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found herself unable to speak.

What to say?

That she was here for a job interview?

She simply couldn’t bring herself to say it!

"Mr. Chen, you know Chen Yuting? She’s here for an interview," Yang Hai took the initiative to speak.

Having a connection with Mr. Chen would be great if this beauty was related to him.

Getting close to Chen Yuting would open up a connection to Mr. Chen.

"Interview?" Chen Yuanxiang’s gaze fell on Chen Yuting, puzzled.

Yuting didn’t continue working at the insurance company?

"I wasn’t here for a job interview, I’m leaving now," Chen Yuting said in a flurry, turned around, and walked away quickly.

The elevator didn’t stop on this floor, so she directly entered the staircase.

"Uh..." Yang Hai was completely baffled, unable to figure out what exactly was going on.

Wasn’t it said that she was here for a job interview? Why is she now saying she wasn’t?

Moreover, Chen Yuting clearly knew Mr. Chen. Since they knew each other, applying for a job should be even easier, so why would she leave?

These questions, this young man would never understand.

Chen Yuanxiang watched Chen Yuting enter the staircase and sighed, continuing his walk toward the conference room.

...

Chen Yuting arrived on the fourteenth floor and then took the elevator downstairs.

Soon, she ran out from the entrance of the Jinmao Tower.

She couldn’t understand why her father was here, and even more so why he had become the general manager of Shuidilao.

Wasn’t her father supposed to be tending to their small restaurant?

Even if her father was not at the small restaurant, it was impossible for him to become the general manager of Shuidilao, right?

After all, her father had left the job market for over a decade, despite having previously been a senior executive at Xingwang Catering Group.

But that was in the past. Even if he were to look for a job now, it was not possible that he would instantly become the general manager of a hot pot chain brand.

What exactly was going on?

A series of question marks popped up in Chen Yuting’s head.

"It was originally Meizizi Hot Pot chain, it just changed to Shuidilao. It must be Shuidilao’s owner who asked my father to be the general manager."

"Who is this owner of Shuidilao, and why would they hire someone like my father who has been away from the job market for over a decade to be the general manager?"

Chen Yuting took out her phone and looked up information about Shuidilao.

She was in for a shock when she did her research.

"Shen Dong, the legal person for Shuidilao is Shen Dong!"

Chen Yuting’s pupils shrank sharply.

The owner of Shuidilao was actually Shen Dong!

Upon reflection, only Shen Dong would ask her father to be the general manager.

It seemed that Shen Dong had acquired Meizizi Hot Pot and then changed its name to Shuidilao.

Just then, her phone rang.

She checked it and saw it was a call from Liu Chao, so she answered.

"Yuting, Ma Kaida told me he’s been fired, it’s because Meizizi Hot Pot has been acquired, and he also said that you called her. You better not apply for a job there, even if you get the job, without Manager Ma’s backing, there’s no advantage for you," Liu Chao said.

"I didn’t apply, I’m already out. Do you know who acquired Meizizi Hot Pot?" Chen Yuting asked.

"I don’t know. I didn’t ask Ma Kaida who acquired it. From the way you talk, is it someone I know?" Liu Chao sounded puzzled.

"It’s Shen Dong." Chen Yuting said.

"Is it your ex-boyfriend?" Liu Chao asked.

"Yes," Chen Yuting nodded.

"I was wondering who the idiot was that acquired Meizizi Hot Pot, turns out it was your ex-boyfriend Shen Dong," Liu Chao sneered.

"Liu Chao, what do you mean?" Chen Yuting was somewhat puzzled.

"Yuting, you should already know that Meizizi has changed its name to Shuidilao, right?" Liu Chao asked.

"I know," Chen Yuting replied.

"Meizizi Hot Pot was a brand with over a decade of history in Hai City, with a significant reputation."

"It’s one thing for Shen Dong to acquire it, but to change its name? Isn’t that idiotic?"

"Who knows what Shuidilao is? To build brand recognition is exceedingly difficult."

"With his capabilities, to play around with acquisitions, it’s practically a dead end."

"Just watch, this Shuidilao won’t last half a year before it has to shutter its doors," Liu Chao said with great disdain.
