Chapter 115 Does headquarters really think she's no good?
Bai Qianyue sat in a chair in the coffee shop, looking at the street outside the glass window through the white veil.
She could clearly see Zhang Ruoran walking very fast ahead, with Li Ze anxiously chasing after her.
Upon seeing this real scene, Bai Qianyue's lips curled up into a smile.
She laughed, a very happy laugh.
She achieved her goal: to make Zhang Ruoran unhappy and to make Li Ze anxious.
Xiao Li, who was sitting across the table, was drinking coffee.
She saw Bai Qianyue looking outside and smiling, and she found it a little strange.
Xiao Li put down his coffee cup, looked at Bai Qianyue, and asked:
"Boss, is there anything interesting to see outside?"
Bai Qianyue didn't turn her head, still looking out the window, and said softly:
"Yes, it's really beautiful."
Xiao Li found this even stranger, and she said:
"That's strange, I didn't see anything."
After saying that, Xiao Li turned his head and looked out the window.
But outside was just an ordinary street, with a few people walking and a few cars driving by, and I still couldn't see anything.
When Xiao Li turned around again, ready to ask the boss again, she realized that Bai Qianyue, who had been sitting in front of her, was gone.
The chair was empty, with only a half-finished cup of coffee left on the table.
Xiao Li scratched his head, muttering to himself in great confusion:
"Strange, where did they go? How could they disappear so suddenly?"
……
At this moment, in the Prince Xuan restaurant diagonally across the street.
Wang Cong was standing next to the front desk, talking to the new store manager, Wang Yumo.
The two men both had serious expressions on their faces as they discussed the upcoming inspection by the group's headquarters leaders that evening.
Wang Cong made a special trip from the Xudong branch, which he is in charge of, today.
He was naturally pleased to learn that Zhang Ruoran had not stayed home to rest but had come to work at the store today.
He wanted to see Zhang Ruoran every day.
However, he had already heard that Zhang Ruoran's ex-husband, Li Ze, had returned and opened a flower shop across the street, and was even living next to Zhang Ruoran.
Therefore, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Wang Cong maintained a calm and composed demeanor, not revealing much joy.
He kept those thoughts to himself.
Just as Wang Cong and Wang Yumo were discussing the details of the evening's reception with their heads down.
Zhang Ruoran strode into the restaurant.
Her steps were heavy and she walked quickly, her face clearly showing anger.
Meanwhile, Li Ze was still chasing after her, shouting loudly as he did so:
"Ruoran, listen to me, I really have no feelings for her. It's just unrequited love, just like back in school. Please don't be angry, okay?"
Wang Cong and Wang Yumo heard the noise at the door and looked over together.
When Wang Cong saw that it was Zhang Ruoran walking over, he subconsciously greeted her:
"If so, you've come."
Zhang Ruoran heard someone call her and looked up to see Wang Cong and the new store manager, Wang Yumo.
She stopped in her tracks.
At this moment, Li Ze also caught up from behind and stood beside Zhang Ruoran.
When Wang Cong saw the man in casual clothes next to Zhang Ruoran, he immediately recognized him as Zhang Ruoran's ex-husband, Li Ze.
Wang Cong was very sensible. He immediately took two steps back to the side and put some distance between himself and Zhang Ruoran.
After all, he didn't really have any real relationship with Zhang Ruoran; it was just a one-sided pursuit on his part.
Now that her ex-husband is here, he's naturally afraid that Li Ze will misunderstand.
The less trouble, the better.
Zhang Ruoran took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
She ignored Li Ze standing beside her, and instead looked at Wang Cong, asking first:
"Manager Wang Cong, what brings you here? We already have a manager named Wang Yumo, why is headquarters transferring you here as well?"
Zhang Ruoran paused, her tone becoming very serious, and continued:
"Does headquarters really think I, Zhang Ruoran, can't manage this store on my own? Why do they have to send so many people to take over my work?"
Zhang Ruoran's words were full of force, and every word was spoken very clearly.
This is the authority she has cultivated over many years as a store manager.
Wang Cong was intimidated by Zhang Ruoran's imposing manner.
This was the first time he had ever seen Zhang Ruoran speak to him in such a serious tone since he had known her for so long.
Wang Cong quickly waved his hand and explained:
"No, no, Ruoran, you've misunderstood. I wasn't transferred here; I'm still the store manager in Xudong."
Wang Cong pointed to Wang Yumo beside him and continued:
"I'm here today to inform you of something important. Tonight, the leaders from the group headquarters will be coming to inspect these stores. Since you've been in charge of this store from the beginning, you're most familiar with many of our long-time customers and the work processes. I'm worried that since Store Manager Wang Yumo is new, she might not be clear on some details, and it would be difficult to explain if something goes wrong. So, I came here in person to go over the reception procedures with you tonight."
Zhang Ruoran realized she had misunderstood when she heard Wang Cong say that.
She was initially very angry, but when she heard that Wang Cong had come all this way to help with the shop's work, her anger subsided considerably.
Zhang Ruoran's expression softened, and she smiled at Wang Cong, saying:
"I see. Thank you so much for your help. Thank you for coming all this way to inform us. I will cooperate with Manager Wang to prepare well for tonight's inspection."
Seeing Zhang Ruoran smile, Wang Cong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly, saying:
"Of course, of course, we're all colleagues."
Li Ze, who was standing to the side, remained silent at this moment.
However, he heard everything Wang Cong had just said.
Li Ze thought to himself, "Are the senior executives from the group headquarters coming here for an inspection?"
He frowned slightly.
He knew nothing about this matter, and Lao Yi had not reported it to him.
However, Li Ze quickly figured it out.
After all, the catering business like Prince Xuan Restaurant is just a small industry in his global business empire, and can't be considered a big industry at all.
Normally, he would have his top subordinate arrange for people to manage these small businesses on his behalf.
Although he is the apparent boss, owning all the shares of this restaurant group, he never manages these specific affairs.
When senior management comes to the store to inspect operations, such routine activities do not require approval from him, the world's richest man.
However, Li Ze did some mental calculations.
Those high-ranking officials came here to inspect tonight.
Although those high-ranking officials had never met him in person, they should all recognize him.
Because a few days ago, when he asked Lao Yi to acquire this catering group, the boss's name had already been changed to his, Li Ze.
The company has changed its biggest boss; this is a huge deal.
Which senior executive wouldn't immediately check the background and photos of the new boss?
These business registration change documents are all publicly available, so the higher-ups must have already memorized his appearance.
