Chapter 402: Chapter 402 Arrival of Winter Vacation 3_1
"John, I brought my sister Zhilan with me. I’m leaving her in your care for the winter break!"
From Lin Chan’s tone, He Zhilan knew that Lin Chan must be quite familiar with this boss. After they went in, she saw a tall, blond, blue-eyed foreign man coming to meet them. Without guessing, she knew he must be John, the British boss Lin Chan had mentioned.
"I hope your sister isn’t like Miss Bian?" John apparently jumped a bit at the mention of Bian Xiulin.
"Don’t you dare compare my sister Zhilan with that woman Bian Xiulin who only knows how to eat and do nothing! My sister Zhilan is far better than her. She’s diligent and obedient. She won’t give you any headaches, let me introduce you." After saying this, Lin Chan brought He Zhilan forward, "This is John, your boss for the winter break. He might seem rough around the edges, but he’s a good guy."
Lin Chan then called He Teng over and continued introducing to John, "This is He Zhilan’s husband, He Teng. As for that one over there, you can just ignore him. He’s just a hanger-on!"
Lin Chan spoke to John in English, and He Zhilan understood without much difficulty. However, He Teng and Kang Xing were completely in the dark, with Kang Xing continually scratching his head and alternating his gaze between He Zhilan and his squad leader He Teng.
He Teng did not understand English, but he knew how to read people’s expressions. After John greeted him in a variant of Chinese that was even more awkward than Mina’s, He Teng responded to him and said, "My wife is young. If she does something wrong while working here, please let me know."
Lin Chan voluntarily acted as the translator, but looking at He Teng’s face and hearing his tone of voice, Lin Chan couldn’t help but laugh. What He Teng meant to say was, even though my wife works for you, if she makes a mistake, you can only let me know. It’s not your place to discipline her. If you dare to bully my wife, you’ll have to answer to me first.
Of course, being a refined man, He Teng would never say anything that crass, but in Lin Chan’s ears, that was exactly what he implied.
As a boss, John was no fool. He knew that a husband accompanying his wife to her workplace meant he was concerned, so John proactively handed his business card to He Teng to reassure him.
After a brief introduction, John personally took them to the staff dormitory arranged for He Zhilan. The dormitory was located in a building not far from the restaurant. Although the place was not decorated, it was clean and tidy. The male and female dorms were separated, with males on the second floor and females on the third. There was also a metal door separating the two floors, making it quite safe.
"Will this work, Zhilan? You don’t have to worry, there are residents everywhere. Two people live in each room, and John lives nearby. It’s convenient to go to and from work. If you’re not comfortable here, you can stay at my place and I’ll go stay with Bian Muhe," Lin Chan asked.
"It’s perfect! This place is very good!" He Zhilan nodded vigorously. This dormitory was much better than other old houses. It was clean and tidy, and since it wasn’t on the ground floor, there was no need to worry about dampness.
Seeing that He Zhilan had no objections, John directly gave the keys to her, asked her to move her belongings into the dormitory, rest for a night, start work at the restaurant the next morning, and then he left.
