Spend Money on Goddess, Use more! Gain more!-Chapter 282 - 194: Zhou Yuyan Develops Feelings for Wu Wei, The Two in the Office... (Part 2)
After he finished speaking, he skillfully spun the bottle and tilted his head back to gulp down the beer.
His Adam’s apple moved up and down, beer dripped from the corner of his mouth, soaking the front of his shirt.
Once he finished the bottle, he took a breath, his face already flushed, yet he still tried to maintain a smile, grabbing a second bottle to continue drinking.
The skinny man, after two bottles of beer, felt so uncomfortable that his belly started to swell, and his eyes rolled back.
He put down the bottle with a forced smile, saying, "How about this?"
Only then did Wu Wei relax his grip, letting the two men down.
Once the bald man and the short-haired man steadied themselves, they rubbed their necks desperately, their once arrogant expressions replaced by fear and remorse.
"Eat in peace, just focus on eating."
Wu Wei glanced at them, his voice calm yet forceful: "Don’t down a few drinks and lose sight of who you are. Next time you cause trouble, I won’t be so nice."
"Yes, yes, big brother is right!"
The skinny man quickly nodded and bowed, glaring at the other two: "Apologize to my bro now!"
The bald man and the short-haired man bowed their heads, murmuring, "Sorry, big brother..."
Wu Wei couldn’t be bothered to look at them, turning to Zhou Yuyan and the waitress, saying, "Let’s go."
At this moment, the two standing at the door were completely stunned.
Zhou Yuyan’s beautiful eyes were wide open, her face full of disbelief.
Brother-in-law... was he really this amazing?
He’s so strong!
Earlier, seeing him effortlessly carry her sister, she thought he was just a bit stronger than normal people. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
But she didn’t imagine he could lift two burly men like that!
It’s incredibly impressive!
"Hmm."
Zhou Yuyan and the waitress both nodded.
The three of them walked out of the private room together.
The door closed behind them, shutting out the frightened expressions of the five men inside.
When they reached the office, Zhou Yuyan closed the door, letting out a long sigh of relief, her heart still pounding.
The waitress, who was only eighteen or nineteen, experiencing this for the first time, couldn’t stop the tears once she entered the office.
"It’s all over, don’t be scared."
Zhou Yuyan walked over, gently patting her shoulder, her voice soothing.
The waitress lifted her head, eyes red and still wet with tears: "I’m sorry, Manager, it’s all my fault... I shouldn’t have argued with the customers..."
Choking up, her shoulders shook.
"Where did you go wrong?"
Wu Wei spoke up, his voice gentle yet firm.
He walked up to the waitress and handed her a tissue: "Waitresses are human too, with dignity. If they harass you and you retaliate, what’s wrong with that?"
The waitress accepted the tissue, wiping her eyes, still sniffling.
"If you meet vulgar customers like this in the future, don’t be afraid, fight back if you must. Both Manager Zhou and I will support you."
Wu Wei looked at the waitress, his tone serious: "If they cause trouble, just call the police."
"Also, for the grievance you suffered today, you’ll be given an extra 1000 yuan this month as compensation from the store."
Wu Wei used to work part-time at a restaurant during college, so he deeply empathizes with the plight of workers.
Now as a boss, he won’t forget where he came from.
He wants to be a good boss, ensuring his employees enjoy good treatment, whether economically or emotionally.
After all, each employee is like his past self.
Besides, this incident wasn’t even her fault.
Listening to Wu Wei’s words, the waitress suddenly stopped crying, stunned.
She lifted her head, still streaked with tears, her eyes wide in disbelief.
She thought she’d be scolded or have her pay docked for causing trouble today, but instead, she’s getting a bonus?
Is this for real? It feels surreal.
"This... how can I accept this..."
She stammered, visibly shaken: "I’m the one who caused the trouble..."
"It’s not your trouble; it’s those people’s problem."
Zhou Yuyan chimed in immediately: "The money will be given with your monthly salary. Go downstairs and calm yourself, those guests don’t need service, let them finish and leave."
"Thank you, Manager! Thank you, Boss!"
The waitress bowed repeatedly, tears flowing again, but now out of gratitude.
Wiping her eyes, she left the office.
The door closed softly.
Only Wu Wei and Zhou Yuyan remained in the office.
The air suddenly became quiet.
The atmosphere between them seemed to shift subtly.
Standing in place, Zhou Yuyan lowered her head slightly, hands twisting together unconsciously.
As the tension faded, another emotion began to surge.
Wu Wei looked at her, speaking seriously: "Yuyan."
Zhou Yuyan lifted her head to meet his gaze.
"As a manager, seeking to resolve issues peacefully is the correct approach."
Wu Wei walked up to her, his voice gentle: "But sometimes, don’t be so servile. We’ve retreated enough. If they start extorting and causing trouble, we shouldn’t indulge them."
He paused for a moment before continuing: "I appointed you as manager to direct operations and manage tasks efficiently, not for you to be wronged."
Looking into Zhou Yuyan’s eyes, he added: "If making money requires you to suffer, then I’d rather not earn that money."
Wu Wei’s words were like a small stone cast into the lake of Zhou Yuyan’s heart, stirring ripples.
