The next day, Zhan Bei Jue and Min Er went to work as usual.
Although the two were the same as yesterday, it was obvious that the boss's attitude had changed a lot.
Especially towards Zhan Bei Jue, his eyes couldn't hide his admiration when he spoke.
This made the two chefs in the kitchen start to get jealous.
"This pretty boy, could he be trying to become the boss's wife?"
"He's only been here for two days and he's already made the boss so happy. No wonder we're not good enough. So he has special skills."
Min Er felt very uncomfortable hearing this.
She had known the boss for more than two years and had never seen him treat anyone else so well.
And he had never had a girlfriend.
Min Er was afraid that their words would come true.
If Zhan Bei Jue, not knowing anything, fell into the wrong path...
However, work was very busy.
She wanted to call Zhan Bei Jue over and quietly tell him a few things, but she couldn't find an opportunity.
Finally, it was lunchtime, and Zhan Bei Jue came to find her to eat together.
Min Er was just about to remind him to be wary of the boss's ill intentions.
The boss poked his head in from the kitchen door.
"Shen, come out for a moment."
Ah Shen was the name Min Er had given to Zhan Bei Jue.
Because she didn't know his name, when she brought him to find a job, the boss asked. In a moment of desperation, Min Er used her own surname as his name.
Zhan Bei Jue quite liked this name.
The boss called him, and he quickly turned around, nodded, said "okay," and then reached out to pat Min Er's shoulder.
"You eat first, I'll be back in a moment."
Without delay, he went out with him again.
Min Er was worried, eating and waiting for him.
Soon, half an hour passed, and the break time was over. Zhan Bei Jue didn't come back.
He didn't have a phone either.
The whole afternoon, the boss and he went somewhere unknown.
It wasn't until the restaurant closed that he came back, after Min Er had stayed late to wash all the dishes herself.
He smelled faintly of alcohol, and his eye circles and cheeks were red.
So he had gone for a drink.
She had worked herself to death washing dishes here, worried about him all day, and he had gone drinking with the boss?
This useless fellow.
Min Er was furious. On the way back, she walked ahead with her head down, not wanting to say a word to him.
Zhan Bei Jue knew Min Er was angry, but he didn't know why she was angry, so he could only chase after her and tentatively apologize.
"Did I offend you? I'm sorry, don't be angry."
"Hmph." Min Er shook off his hand and told him to stay away from her.
"I didn't help you wash dishes today, which made you tired. I'm sorry. Tomorrow, if you're tired, just leave the things aside, don't move them, sit and rest, and I'll wash them when I get back."
What? Leave the things aside tomorrow and wait for you to wash them?
"So you're going out again tomorrow?"
Zhan Bei Jue nodded.
Min Er immediately exploded.
"I didn't realize, you look so tall and strong, but you're actually a..."
"You guys are developing too fast! You only met yesterday, and he's so much older... Aren't you afraid of being taken advantage of?"
Zhan Bei Jue was certainly afraid.
But he was a nobody now, he had already experienced the worst, and it couldn't get any worse than this.
If he was afraid to try anything, and stood still, he would be poor his whole life.
"I know what I'm doing, and I'll be careful. Don't worry."
He admitted it!
He actually admitted it just like that?
Min Er was incredibly disappointed.
"If I had known you were this kind of person, I wouldn't have brought you there!"
Min Er was dejected and rushed back into the house first. The night passed uneventfully.
The next day, as Zhan Bei Jue had said, soon after starting work, he went out with the boss again.
Perhaps he had pleased the boss, because early in the morning, he even gave him a new set of clothes.
They both wore black shirts, black trousers, shiny leather shoes, and sunglasses as they went out together.
Tall and long-legged, with a distinguished demeanor.
Dare I say, they really did look like something.
The kitchen staff were extremely envious and seized the opportunity to tease Min Er.
"So the boss likes this type. We didn't see it, how did you see it?"
"That's good. You cater to his preferences and give him such a good wife. It seems you'll have a good life from now on."
"Hey, are all the men from your place like him? Do you have any sisters or anything? Introduce one to me too."
"Speaking of which, he does have a certain charm. I'm a little tempted too."
Min Er was outnumbered and couldn't argue or make trouble with them, so she could only pretend not to hear.
She vented all her anger on the plates.
She didn't know how to get along with Zhan Bei Jue in the future, and she felt both distressed and annoyed.
She struggled with this for four days.
On the way home after work on the fourth day, Zhan Bei Jue suddenly grabbed her and put an envelope in her hand.
"This is for you. Open it and see."
"What?"
Such a thick stack, Min Er subconsciously thought of money.
But she couldn't believe Zhan Bei Jue had such great charm.
He had only been with the boss for less than a week, and he had already received so much tip money?
"It's good stuff, you'll know when you open it."
Zhan Bei Jue had a hint of smugness on his face.
When Min Er saw his expression, she suddenly couldn't be happy anymore.
She pulled a long face, shoved the envelope back into his hand, and walked forward with her head down.
"I don't want your money. Money earned through unclean means is not reassuring to spend."
"Don't follow me anymore. Since you've earned money and can leave here, hurry up and go. Go back to your family, we're not the same kind of people."
Zhan Bei Jue was utterly bewildered.
Min Er had been unwilling to give him a good look for days.
He thought she was just too tired, so he didn't dare to say much.
But today, after giving her such a large sum of money, not only did she not improve, but she was also driving him away?
"What's wrong? How is it unclean? I didn't steal or rob. I earned it by my own ability. Why is it not reassuring to spend?"
"I owe you too much, and this is nothing. Didn't we agree that we were friends? Why are you driving me away now?"
Min Er didn't mean to discriminate against that group.
She just felt that Zhan Bei Jue was too casual.
He had only known the boss for a few days and already...
But at the same time, she felt that her words were indeed a bit unpleasant and too harsh.
She stopped, turned, and looked at Zhan Bei Jue.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to discriminate against you, and I didn't say your money was really unclean. What I mean is..."
"Dating is something to be taken seriously. The boss is so much older than you, your nationalities are different, and you don't have your memory."
"Don't give everything of yourself for a little favor. In the end, you won't even know if you've been sold."
Zhan Bei Jue's mind buzzed for a moment, and he stared at her serious expression for two seconds.
Suddenly, he burst out laughing.
"So that's what you meant. You've been aloof to me all these days, and you just said my money was unclean, that's what you meant."
Laughing?
Min Er reached out to hit him.
"You're quite proud? Do you think you've done a great job?"
"I am very proud, and I have done a great job."
Zhan Bei Jue shoved the envelope back into her hand.
