Chapter 57 - Style of the Boss (1)
She slaved over the father and son and provided them with the best service possible, not to mention keeping the son occupied for such a long time, and he didn’t even leave her anything for tips? This time, Yan Shuyu was truly a little hurt. She made up her mind. Next time the boss came, she most certainly would not serve them again. She would be smart this time and stay as far away from him as possible. Whoever felt like serving him, they could be her guest!
Her determination was solid, and she would definitely carry out her plans perfect. The problem came when the boss stopped visiting before she could do anything. She didn’t seen him in the next 8 to 9 days and, welp, that was kind of awkward.
Yan Shuyu couldn’t explain why she suddenly felt somewhat at a loss and could do nothing but to comfort herself that it was a good thing that the boss stopped coming. No troubles, everybody was happy!
Yes, the weekends without the boss, and perhaps combining with the fact that the novelty of working had worn off, Yan Shuyu felt more and more bored as the days go by.
That was when Yang Zifeng delivered her good news, “Yanyan, it’s two more months to the winter break. It’s not too far away from now, but not too close either. Did you say you have started preparing for the certification examination at the musical institute? I made a point of getting her Wechat info. She was quite enthusiastic and said she’d swing by our shop this weekend or next weekend, so you can ask her everything you want to know then.”
“Oh, that’s great,” nodded Yan Shuyu sluggishly. “I’ll pick her brain when she comes.”
She had always been a girl of high spirits, always shining like a little sun, so when she suddenly became dispirited, it was quite noticeable. Even a man like Yang Zifeng noticed it. He asked caringly, “What is going on with you lately? You seemed a little blue.”
Yan Shuyu was embarrassed to say that it was because the boss had stopped coming, so she wasn’t able to do to him everything that she had so nicely planned out in her head and she was blue from her disappointment. She had no choice but to tell him the second reason, “Working is so tiring!”
Yang Zifeng had been messing around with them for too long that Yan Shuyu had so little respect for him as a boss that she would complain about work directly to his face. And that didn’t bother Yang Zifeng a bit either. He even chuckled and said, “Yes, business has been quite well lately…. That’s right, you have been here for almost a month, right?”
“I started on the 4th, so 6 more days to a full month.”
“Then you will become a perm next month.” Manager Yang thought about it for a bit and said in a very considerate way, “Why don’t we do this? You take tomorrow and the day after off and come back on the 1st. Starting next month, you can have one day off a week like any other formal employee.”
Yan Shuyu’s spirit returned immediately when she heard the “day off” part. A big smile on her face, she said, “Then I am really not coming in tomorrow!”
Yang Zifeng smiled and said, “I meant what I said, but tomorrow and the day after are not the weekend. Aren’t you going to be bored being home by yourself?”
“Oh, don’t you worry about me. Do I look like the type who doesn’t know what to do with myself when my son is not around?” said Yan Shuyu pridefully. “Without the kid, I can go shopping, gaming, or even go to a movie. There are lots I could to do!”
“Yan-jie, you are going shopping tomorrow?” That came from her coworker Zhang Mingming. “I want to go shopping too. I haven’t added anything to my closet for a long time!”
