Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 979: Chapter 575:

Zhu Jiangyu smiled, "I’ll ask around for you, it’s no big deal. But don’t blame me if I can’t help you."

"Brother Zhu, thank you so much! Whether it works out or not, I’m really grateful to you!" Xiao Yue said, overwhelmed and a bit incoherent.

Just then, Xiao Yu and Master Jiang, dragging a food cart, came over, "Brother Zhu, you’re here. From now on, you’re like my real brother. If you ever need anything from me, just say the word!" Xiao Yu excitedly dropped the cart, reaching to hug Zhu Jiangyu, but seeing his military uniform, pulled back his hand, smiling sheepishly, "Brother Zhu, you look so gallant!"

Zhu Jiangyu punched him playfully, "You rascal, what’s that supposed to mean?"

"No way would I dare, I’m speaking the truth. Brother Zhu, I really appreciate it. Who’d have imagined Brother Zhu has such clout, really..." Xiao Yu fidgeted, mumbling disconnectedly.

"Master Jiang, Master Nian, what’s wrong with him?" Zhu Jiangyu said, patting Xiao Yu’s head, "Did he fry his brain?"

Old Jiang looked at him puzzled, "Little Zhu, you don’t know about Wang Liang’s situation?"

"I don’t, what happened?" Zhu Jiangyu was confused, as Lin Jinguang hadn’t mentioned it, and he was too self-conscious to ask. It seemed Wang Liang had been punished.

Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow proudly, "His lobby manager was dismissed, and he packed up and left yesterday."

"What about the finance manager?" Zhu Jiangyu asked instinctively.

"Finance manager?" Xiao Yu’s eyes widened, "What’s it got to do with the finance manager?"

Old Nian slapped him on the head, "You blockhead, the finance manager is the boss’s sister-in-law, and Wang Liang is her prospective son-in-law. So you tell me, what’s it got to do with the finance manager?"

Xiao Yu chuckled, "Oh, oh, didn’t quite make the connection for a moment."

...

After Lin Jinguang briefly explained the company’s operations, Zhu Xiaoxue, sitting opposite him, remained silent, seemingly contemplating something.

In a tailored black suit, her long black hair pinned up, her complexion fair and translucent, her thin single-eyelids, lengthened eyes slightly upturned at the corners, a small straight nose, her somewhat full lips added a wild touch to her otherwise gentle demeanor. He felt, to become the lobby manager of Qilin Hotel, one must have certain skills, but he wondered if this small place could retain such a talent...

"Mr. Lin?"

"Mr. Lin?"

Zhu Xiaoxue called softly a few times, then, seeing Lin Jinguang still staring blankly at her, she helplessly stood up, waved her slender hand in front of him, "Mr. Lin!"

"Oh, oh, sorry!" Lin Jinguang smiled awkwardly, "Was thinking about something and got distracted."

"Really?" Zhu Xiaoxue smiled faintly, then got to the point, "Personally, I believe that for the food industry to grow, service, ingredients, and taste are the three key factors to keep customers coming back.

Old Sichuan Restaurant has no problems with ingredients and taste, so what’s left is service. To provide good service, a practical and effective management system is needed to motivate employees. I think, you should understand what I’m implying, Mr. Lin?"

"Miss Zhu mentioned this issue, of which I am already aware. That’s why I want to offer you a highly paid position, as deputy general manager of Old Sichuan Restaurant, how about that?"

Zhu Xiaoxue raised an eyebrow at him, "I can accept, but there’s one condition: I need authority second only to Mr. Lin, is that possible?"

"I’d be thrilled." Lin Jinguang leaned back, "Currently, I’m eager for someone to help relieve some of my burden, I’m really exhausted."

"Oh?" Zhu Xiaoxue laughed, "I heard from my cousin that you were in the military, and you’re always swift and decisive. How did you get tired?"

"Some things aren’t resolved by just being swift and decisive." Lin Jinguang smiled wryly, "Sometimes rapid development of a company isn’t necessarily a good thing."

Zhu Xiaoxue looked at him intently, "As long as you’re willing to give me authority, I can’t guarantee we’ll surpass Liangyou, but aligning with Liangyou should be no problem."

Lin Jinguang slapped the table, "Alright, I’ll delegate authority to you!"

"So, it was this little vixen who swayed your younger brother?" A deep woman’s voice accompanied the entrance of a poised woman around forty.

"Sister-in-law!" Lin Jinguang frowned, pointing to Zhu Xiaoxue, introducing, "This is Zhu Xiaoxue, the lobby manager of Qilin Hotel, intending to work at our hotel."

"What do you mean?" Sister-in-law Lin squinted at Lin Jinguang, "Your brother’s only been gone two years, and you’re already planning to kick us mother and daughter out?"

Lin Jinguang gave Zhu Xiaoxue an apologetic smile, "Miss Zhu, this is my sister-in-law Li Cuiming, currently the finance manager of Old Sichuan Restaurant."
