Chapter 220: Work More and Work Less

“Wu Hai, I heard you are going to hold an art exhibition?” Ling Hong had some common topics with Wu Hai sometimes.

“After a week.” Wu Hai drank a gulp of the seaweed soup.

“Then why are you still here?” Ling Hong showed an expression of contempt.

“It’s none of your business,” Wu Hai said seriously while stroking his small mustache.

“If you are gone, I can come every day,” Ling Hong also said primly.

“Ok,” Wu Hai answered with a nod, but still didn’t mention when he would leave.

However, Zheng Jiawei who set out beforehand last night had already urged him.

The reason why Wu Hai still stayed was very simple. He hadn’t learned how to cook well. Naturally, the standard was measured according to Yuan Zhou’s criteria.

“Boss Yuan, you still owe me half a day.” After gulping down the remaining dishes, Wu Hai looked at Yuan Zhou earnestly.

“Got it. Let’s continue this afternoon. You just buy the ingredients and get them prepared,” Yuan Zhou thought for a while and then accepted.

“Is it still the vegetable dish?” Wu Hai frowned.

“Do you still expect to learn cooking a meat dish?” Yuan Zhou questioned him back immodestly.

“Alright,” Yuan Zhou shrugged, indicating that he understood.

When they had barely finished talking, some customers finished their meals and left. Then, another few customers entered the main hall. Two of them were considered regular customers. One was the salesman Ma Wei, who worked under Wu Anlu. And the other was likewise a young man with a good-looking face. They were talking happily.

“Pang Chao, the dishes here are truly appetizing. It’s just that the price is a little expensive. You have to pay by yourself,” Ma Wei pointed at the price list and then said.

“I really can’t tell that such a small restaurant surprisingly serves such expensive dishes,” the young man called Pang Chao had a lingering fear when he looked at the price list.

“No better choice. The dishes are super delicious,” Ma Wei dragged Pang Chao to sit down and asked him what he wanted to eat after he himself ordered a serving of Egg Fried Rice.

“Me, too. The Egg Fried Rice,” Pang Chao said to Mu Xiaoyun politely.

Having finished ordering the dishes, the two of them began to chat. Ma Wei didn’t seem to be happy. As soon as he opened his mouth, he complained.

“You are new, so you don’t know. That old tortoise is fairly troublesome. You had better be careful,” Ma Wei said to Pang Chao in a seemingly serious manner.

“What’s the matter?” Pang Chao tilted his head and listened to Ma Wei earnestly. As a newcomer, it would be better to follow the experience and instructions of his senior co-worker.

“We are just a salesman whose job is to get orders of decoration projects for the company. It’s totally unnecessary for us to know about the materials. But the old tortoise lets us learn the materials by heart and, moreover, takes that into our performance measurement. His ridiculous excuse is to save money for the customers,” once he started uttering, he couldn’t just stop it, like a Gatling gun firing continuously.

“I guess we might get repeat orders if we endeavor to save money for the customers,” having hesitated for a while, Pang Chao still spoke that out.

“I don’t believe in repeat orders. Formerly when I accepted an order from others, those decoration companies all fawned on me. But right now, they complain that I don’t help them and hate me as if I were their enemy.” While waving his hand, Ma Wei revealed an expression of “You don’t understand”.

“But when the achievement of the company is better, our salary also increases, doesn’t it?” Pang Chao disagreed with Ma Wei, but it was not good to retort him face to face. Therefore, he.had only to utter some advantages to smooth things over.

“I totally attribute it to the old tortoise looking for trouble. Now I can even recite much information about the decorative materials. As soon as I see the materials like wallpaper or floor tiles, I began to calculate the prices subconsciously. How funny it is,” instead of appreciating the kindness of his superiors, he complained indignantly.

“Such a salesman as you might as well retire earlier. After you have learned the knowledge from your teacher, you unexpectedly blame him,” Wu Hai suddenly said to Ma Wei with a frown.

“Well…” Ma Wei was a little embarrassed. After all, he not only back bit his superior but also gave him an awkward nickname.

“I’m sorry but I’m just saying it casually. It has nothing to do with you and of course I am not talking to you,” Wu Hai took a look at Ma Wei quite discontentedly and then said straightforwardly.

After saying that, he directly walked out of the restaurant, giving Ma Wei no time to retort.

Wu Hai had drunk liquor together with Wu Anlu for quite a few times. His thought was to cultivate his own staff and enable them to undertake the tasks alone as a chief in the future.

The slang of “regarding a goodwill as a malice” well applied to Wu Anlu, who was cursed by one of his staff behind his back.
