Rebirth 07: Starting with Saving a Bankrupt Restaurant

What surprised Zhou Wen the whole night was Shan Wei; Ren Xuan's arrival seemed to give Shan Wei a shot of adrenaline.

He works with seemingly inexhaustible energy, completely different from before.

They always volunteer to do everything.

"Ren Xuan, why don't you go and rest for a while?"

"Leave the dishes to me, you can go and get some rest."

However, Ren Xuan almost completely ignored Shan Wei's attentiveness.

At most, they might shake their heads or nod, which would be considered a response.

The aloofness that Ren Xuan displayed was completely different from the aloofness that Shi Ling displayed.

Shi Ling is the kind of person who doesn't like to talk much and prefers to do more than talk, but she still chats and laughs with Shi Ying and Zhou Wen in daily life.

When working, she speaks softly and patiently to customers.

Ren Xuan's aloofness stems from doing things she doesn't enjoy or interacting with people she doesn't like.

When talking to Shan Wei, his face would become even colder.

While resting and fiddling with her phone, she always had a smile on her face, her lips never drooping.

This is clearly unacceptable in the service industry, even if Ren Xuan works in the kitchen.

Zhou Wen also spoke up to remind her, "Ren Xuan, watch your expression. You can't have a stern face when facing diners. You don't have to smile, but at the very least, you can't have a long face."

Seeing that Ren Xuan was being criticized, Shan Wei quickly said, "Boss, Ren Xuan is just..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Zhou Wen glared at him and shut him up.

When Zhou Wen, as the boss, is reprimanding people, others naturally cannot say anything.

Even when Shi Ling was being reprimanded, Shi Ying would remain silent.

Dan Wei was also startled by this and immediately dared not speak.

Upon hearing this, Ren Xuan nodded and then adjusted her expression.

"Alright, let's get back to work," Zhou Wen said.

……

After the restaurant closed in the evening.

Dan Wei sat down next to Ren Xuan and asked, "Are you tired? Shall I get you a glass of water?"

Perhaps it was because it was time to leave work that Ren Xuan was in a good mood.

This time, his attitude towards Shan Wei was not as cold as before, and the two took the opportunity to chat.

Then we chatted until it was time to eat.

Ren Xuan was very satisfied with the meal, having already witnessed Zhou Wen's culinary skills before.

After the meal was over, everyone cleaned up and left one after another.

"Ren Xuan, do you want to go back together?" Shan Wei also took the initiative to extend an invitation.

"It's so late, it's not safe for you to go home alone. I'll go with you."

"No need, you can go now."

Shan Wei wanted to persist a little longer, but Ren Xuan ruthlessly rejected him.

Zhou Wen was unaware of this matter; he only noticed that Ren Xuan was still at the door after he finished his work.

Seeing this, they also came to the door, ready to ask what was going on.

"What, aren't you going back yet?" Zhou Wen asked.

Ren Xuan turned halfway around and said, "I'm waiting for a friend."

Zhou Wen nodded slightly: "Let's wait for them inside. There aren't any chairs for you to sit on outside."

Zhou Wen has always been tolerant of his employees.

Ren Xuan nodded.

After waiting for a few minutes, the sound of a car could be heard outside the restaurant.

Zhou Wen also looked out of the restaurant upon hearing the sound, and Ren Xuan also stood up and walked out of the restaurant.

However, when Zhou Wen saw the person who came, he felt a strange sensation.

He was riding an electric scooter, sporting an unconventional hairstyle, and wearing two earrings.

"Xiao Kai," Ren Xuan greeted him warmly.

"Do you work here now?" the boy called Xiao Kai asked, glancing at Zhou's Restaurant.

Ren Xuan nodded and then got on her electric scooter.

Zhou Wen didn't leave the restaurant either; he just watched silently from inside.

After this afternoon, Zhou Wen roughly understood the nature of the relationship between Shan Wei and Ren Xuan.

It's likely that Shan Wei likes Ren Xuan and is probably in the process of pursuing her.

As for Ren Xuan, just by looking at her attitude towards Shan Wei, you can tell what the situation is.

Of course, Zhou Wen wasn't sure if that was actually the case; it was just his own guess.

However, comparing Ren Xuan's attitude towards the two of them, Zhou Wen knew that Shan Wei was probably out of luck.

Zhou Wen will definitely not interfere in this matter, nor will he tell Shan Wei about it.

After all, this is their private matter, and I am just the boss.

Zhou Wen shook his head inwardly, unsure of what to say.

This is rather dramatic.

Every time I make money, I have to treat people to meals and outings, and help them find jobs, only to find out in the end that those people already have someone they like.

Zhou Wen felt some sympathy for Shan Wei, but at the same time, he didn't know how to respond to Ren Xuan's actions.

It could be said that they had been keeping Shan Wei hanging on, and only Shan Wei himself could realize it.

……

The next day, Ren Xuan and Shan Wei arrived at the restaurant one after the other, clearly not together.

After half a day of getting used to things yesterday, Ren Xuan became quite familiar with the store when she arrived today.

Judging from Ren Xuan's work performance, it's only a matter of time before she becomes a full-time employee. Her work attitude is excellent; the only shortcoming might be that she always has a stern face at work.

However, after Zhou Wen reminded me last night, I've actually gotten much better.

However, Zhou Wen hesitated for a moment because Ren Xuan had first come to the restaurant as Shan Wei's friend, and her first visit had left a bad impression on him.

When I came yesterday, I was just trying my luck. Based on my previous impressions, I knew I had no chance of being hired.

However, Ren Xuan's actions in the first half of yesterday's event significantly changed Zhou Wen's attitude.

Just when everything seemed to be going well, something like that happened at the very end.

Shan Wei was absolutely unaware of this matter, which is tantamount to planting a time bomb.

Zhou Wen was also somewhat troubled. He could only wait and see how to handle the matter.

Last night's drama unfolded once again in the kitchen.

……

After the restaurant closed for lunch.

"Boss."

Zhou Wen noticed that Shan Wei hadn't left yet, assuming that Ren Xuan had gone to the restaurant. He then asked for an advance on his salary so he could take Ren Xuan out to play after get off work.

"Let's talk about it later."

Now we need to feed the rice balls first.

"What's the matter?"

Shan Wei nodded, then said something that Zhou Wen didn't expect.

"Boss, how should I pursue a girl?"

Zhou Wen slightly raised his eyelids, but didn't say much.

"Why would you ask me something like this?"
