Chapter 136 Shen Lirong's Vanity
They are Shen Lirong and Wang Shengmei, the two sisters-in-law.
It was the first day they moved in, and before they could even catch their breath, they were dragged out by the Queen Mother early in the morning and asked to go to the street to look for work.
After walking around, I happened to see a sign at the door of this store saying they were hiring temporary waiters. They had to do everything from washing vegetables to serving dishes to washing dishes and mopping the floor. The pay was 40 cents an hour.
Neither of them had ever worked as waitresses and had no experience, and the supervisor didn't want to hire them. The Queen Mother said that they would only hire her daughter-in-law and daughter.
The supervisor would only give them a chance if they could wash dishes in the kitchen for free.
The two were forced by the Queen Mother to find jobs. They were both ambitious but lacked the skills to achieve them. They had princess syndrome but no princess destiny.
He served the food to the customers reluctantly with a sour face.
Add half of the water to the outside of the kettle and wet the table.
When serving a dish, he slammed the plate hard on the table.
Most of the soup splashed from the kitchen to the table.
The customer was so angry that he complained to the supervisor on the spot, and the supervisor was so angry that he started scolding on the spot.
"What's wrong with you two? You both give me a sour face when serving dishes. Customers don't pay to eat to see your face. If you can do it, do it well. If you can't, get out. If it weren't for the fact that the old man begged and volunteered to wash dishes in the kitchen for free, I wouldn't have hired you two inexperienced people to work here."
The supervisor scolded and reprimanded Shen Lirong in front of everyone, which made her feel very embarrassed. She stretched her neck and shouted, "Do you think I want to come? 1 cents an hour, dogs won't do this kind of money. They are just sending away beggars. I'm pregnant, why should I serve others?"
She had nothing to do in the Shen family, and had never done any waitressing. But after working as a waitress for three hours, she was already exhausted, as if the whole world owed her something.
It was the first time that the supervisor had seen such a weird person. He was so angry that his eyes widened and he pointed at the door, "You are pregnant and don't want to work. You want to rest at home. Then don't come out to look for a job. Go home and lie down."
Shen Lirong was eager to be fired, so she wanted to take off her apron and leave. "Let's go..."
Wang Shengmei pulled her arm and said, "Stop talking. What they said is true. My mother was washing dishes in the kitchen at her old age before she found us a job. Just bear with it. Didn't you just say you wanted to save money to open a store? How would you get the money if you don't work?"
Shen Lirong thought about the two dollars in her pocket and couldn't do anything.
Yes, she decided last night to open a clothing store here, snatch all of Shen Ye Ning’s customers away, and force her store to close down.
Wang Shengmei thought of her old mother who was still busy washing dishes in the kitchen. If they were fired, they would definitely not have a good life when they returned. She learned her lesson and quickly said something nice, "Manager, don't be angry. There are many customers at noon. If we leave, there will be no one to work. You can't handle it alone. Give us another chance."
Seeing that they had a good attitude to admit their mistakes and couldn't find anyone to replace them for the time being, the supervisor decided to give them another chance.
He told Shen Lirong, "There's a guest at table 3. Go and ask them what they want to order."
"Let's go..." Shen Lirong turned and walked towards table number three. Suddenly she saw a familiar face and her expression instantly turned ugly.
Why is she here?
This store is across the street from their shop.
She must have done it on purpose, deliberately trying to make fun of herself.
She also found that Shen Ye Ning had become more beautiful. Her skin was white and tender, as if water could be squeezed out of it. Her facial features were delicate and her face was pretty without a single flaw. She was like a lotus blooming in clear water, which made people jealous.
She has an elegant temperament and exudes nobility. She has the beauty of a girl without losing the charm of a woman. You can tell at first glance that she is living a very good life and is pampered and loved by her husband.
Looking at myself, because I didn't eat enough and didn't sleep well, my face was sallow, my skin was loose, and I couldn't hold the fat on my face. Although she was the same age as me, I seemed to be more than ten years older than her. I had become the yellow-faced rural woman that I once looked down upon the most.
It was obvious that Shen Ye Ning was a rustic bumpkin who grew up in the countryside, and she was the eldest daughter raised by the Shen family.
In her previous life, Shen Ye Ning married into the countryside and became a shrew and suffered a lot. But she married into the He family and became a lady.
Why did everything change after I started over again?
This bitch lives a glamorous life, but I am like a rat in the gutter.
Why! ! !
The supervisor went into the kitchen and brought out a plate of soup. Seeing Shen Lirong still standing there, he hurriedly urged her, "What are you still standing there for? Go and serve her."
Ye Xiaojun also recognized Shen Lirong and waved to her, "Waiter, come here quickly, we are in a hurry to order."
Seeing the mocking smiles on their faces, Shen Lirong wanted to tear them apart, and was even more ashamed. However, she endured it because she had to save money. She took a deep breath, walked up to them and asked, "What would you like to order?"
Shen Ye Ning listed a bunch of dishes, "Mapo tofu, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, another plate of shrimp, stir-fried dried shrimp with vermicelli, a serving of coconut chicken, and three bowls of rice."
This restaurant serves home-cooked dishes, mainly for the convenience of workers. There are few rich people on the island, and few can afford star-rated hotels like those in big cities.
Shen Lirong wrote down the name of the dish, then lowered her voice and asked, "Shen Ye Ning, what do you mean? Are you here to laugh at me?"
"Whatever you think." Shen Ye Ning said lightly. Even though it was a coincidence, there was no need to waste time explaining it to her. Just let her misunderstand and make her angry to death.
"You really came here to laugh at me, but I'm sorry to disappoint you. Shengtian has a business mind and looks down on my little money. He also advised me not to go out to work. He can support me and let me stay at home and be a rich wife. But I can't sit still, so I wanted to learn something and open a big restaurant or hotel here." Shen Lirong had a strong vanity and was afraid of being looked down upon, so she lied with her eyes open.
She didn't know that the other person had arrived a long time ago and just happened to hear her being scolded by her supervisor.
Shen Ye Ning nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and her tone was full of sarcasm, "Well, you are quite business-minded. You squandered all your dowry of several thousand and the money in your family, and even borrowed money from loan sharks. The creditor almost arrested you to pay off the debt. You were desperate and begged the Lu family to take you in in my name. You ate and drank at other people's homes, and even refused to leave when the police invited you."
Shen Lirong's face changed slightly, and she quickly said, "It was a difficult time back then. Who doesn't have difficult times? We are living well now, and it can be said that we have finally made it after all the hardships. My man is very capable, and he will definitely make me the wife of the richest man. And your man only has that little salary in the army every month, and he can't make a fortune. It's probably not enough for you to dress up every month. You have to live frugally, right?"
Shen Ye Ning looked her up and down before she spoke, "My skin is pretty good. I just need to apply some vanishing cream. It doesn't cost much. But you, your face is sallow, you have dark circles under your eyes, and spots on your face. You should dress up while you are still young. Don't wait until you become the wife of the richest man to dress up. By then, it will take a lot of effort to make your skin look good."
Ye Xiaojun stared at her for a while, and suddenly said in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, it's you, Director Shen. I was wondering why you looked so familiar. You've changed so much that I wouldn't have recognized you if I hadn't heard your voice. Why are you working here? After all, you've worked in a big company before. Isn't it a waste of your talent to work here? Are you burying your talent?"
Shen Lirong sneered and said, "What do you mean? Do you look down on waiters? Others have said that there is no distinction between high and low jobs."
She spoke so loudly that people around her looked over when they heard her.
Shen Ye Ning helped explain, "Xiao Jun didn't look down on waiters. She felt sorry for you and felt that you were wasted."
The ideological aspect is strictly controlled. Anyone who looks down on a certain profession will be considered to have improper thoughts and will be arrested and educated.
Ye Xiaojun nodded and agreed, "Yes, that's what I meant. You were very caring towards me when I was your supervisor. I was worried that it would be bad for your child if you came out to work after getting pregnant. I was just concerned about you. Don't think too much about it."
Shen Lirong tightly grasped the pen in her hand and really wanted to scratch the faces of these two bitches.
At this time, the restaurant manager brought out another dish. Seeing her still standing there, he was almost angry to death. He spent money to invite the ancestor back to work. If the boss knew about it, he would definitely scold him.
He hurriedly urged, "Xiao Shen, you are still stupid, what are you doing standing there? When the customers order the dishes, go to the kitchen and ask the chef to prepare them."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Shen Lirong responded, looking at the menu in her hand, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. Why should she provide them with good food and wine after they mocked and scolded her?
