"Xiao Xi, what is this person carrying behind the monitor?"
After watching for a while recently, Song Daiyao also noticed this strange point.
If one person carried things like this once or twice, it might be a coincidence, but if it kept happening without change, it became quite intriguing.
Qiu Xi had also been observing for a long time. This person was Wei Wei, whom she had taught to make small pastries.
They had hired her. During the interview, there were no problems, and her skills were good. At the time, she was indeed short-handed, so she hired her and even spent some time teaching her.
But now it seemed this person wasn't too honest!
"Likely trying to pull a fast one, to deceive us!"
Qiu Xi watched for a bit longer, handed her phone back, and then spoke to Song Daiyao.
"Does this Wei Wei have another shift this afternoon?"
"Yes."
"Then in the afternoon, you'll put on a free show for her, called 'Catching a Turtle in a Jar'."
Although the matter was quite obvious, Qiu Xi just didn't want to let her off that easily.
"Okay!"
"I will handle it perfectly!"
Liao Xinming had been watching this entire time. If he still didn't understand, he would probably be fired.
Qiu Xi was now calm. "Mm."
In her opinion, the matter was almost resolved.
"By the way, you should also investigate the other people in the shop. If they can't be cleared, just replace the water directly."
Qiu Xi didn't believe no one in the shop knew about the pastry issue.
They were probably complicit.
She had discussed the leftover pastries of the day with Liao Xinming.
Basically, they were first given to the colleagues in the shop.
Previously, there were few leftovers, and few people received them. Now that there were more leftovers, everyone got some.
Did they not realize there was a problem when they took them all home?
Therefore, in Qiu Xi's current view, it was better to err on the side of caution.
So, she assigned this task to Liao Xinming. Those who could be proven innocent would stay, but those who couldn't, well, it was unfortunate.
She was in business, and money wasn't meant to be spent this way!
As for Liao Xinming...
Qiu Xi turned and looked at him, who was practically bowing down constantly, and her expression darkened a little.
"As for you, you should reflect on yourself properly."
"Handle this problem properly, and your bonus will be docked for another six months."
"If any more problems occur later, you can resign directly."
Qiu Xi was willing to keep him because she understood that his issues weren't too serious.
Not to mention that Song Daiyao had found him, and it was also with the help of the Song family.
Furthermore, considering his reactions just now and his timely, consistent reports, he had indeed put in effort.
Talent was hard to find, and she didn't want to waste more time.
As for the rest, whether they could stay would depend on their own capabilities.
After all, Liao Xinming was able to stay because of his own abilities.
"Why aren't you speaking?"
"Are there still problems?"
Still immersed in the surprise of not being fired, Liao Xinming snapped back to attention upon hearing this.
He hurriedly said, "Sister Xi! No problems!"
"I will definitely resolve this matter perfectly!"
He had thought he was going to pack his bags and leave, but he never expected this turn of events.
Liao Xinming was extremely excited now, thinking he had to handle this properly.
As for the bonus deduction, he could accept it, as the salary for this job was indeed not low.
Therefore, even with a six-month bonus deduction, he was willing to stay.
However, this person had tried to deceive him right under his nose. If Sister Xi hadn't come today, he would have been fooled for a long time.
At that time, he would have faced consequences far more severe than reflection and bonus deductions!
"Alright, then let's not wait overnight. We'll be busy this afternoon."
"We'll go pick up the people shortly. After dinner, we'll come over again."
"You should wait in the shop tonight. However, we expect the matter to be resolved by the time we arrive."
"Any problems?"
"No problems!"
The time was a bit tight, but it was enough.
The video could have been used as evidence, but as Sister Xi said, wouldn't it be better to catch them red-handed?!
Seeing that Liao Xinming had no other reactions, Qiu Xi assumed the matter was settled.
Leaving the remaining tasks to him was also a kind of test.
"Since there are no problems, we'll be leaving now."
"See you tonight."
Liao Xinming felt a slight tremor in his heart seeing the suddenly smiling person.
But it was only for a moment. After seeing them off, he returned to the milk tea shop as usual.
The people in the shop didn't notice anything unusual. The shop manager was still chatting as usual, and when there were fewer customers, he would even converse with them.
...
"Xiao Xi, is it okay for us to just leave like this?"
Song Daiyao was still a bit worried even after the car had driven a long distance away.
"Daiyao, don't worry."
"At worst, we'll deal with it ourselves later."
"We don't rely on this for our livelihood anyway. If we can see through a person with this incident, it's not a loss."
Song Daiyao thought about it and realized that it did make sense.
"Alright, stop thinking about it. Let's go pick up Yan Yan and the others, tidy up after we get back, have a good meal, and then check the situation again tonight."
Qiu Xi had no more worries; she would find out tonight.
"Mm, I'll listen to you. Let's go pick up Xiao Feifei and Yan Yan first."
All in all, they weren't short of money; they just didn't want to be fooled!
"That's good, let's go."
With their moods significantly improved, the two arrived at the airport in half an hour.
When they arrived, the others hadn't come yet, so they waited for some time.
"Xiao Feifei, Yan Yan, we're here!"
...
Song Daiyao, who was playing on her phone in the car, saw the message pop up immediately.
"Mm, I see."
"Then let's go."
"Okay."
The two got out of the car and started walking towards the entrance.
After waiting for a while longer, they finally saw the people!
"Xiao Feifei, Yan Yan, we're here!"
...
Daiyao's voice, even amidst the noisy crowd, was quite clear.
"Coming!"
Thanks to Xiao Xi's car service, they had specifically booked flights for the same time slot, so they arrived around the same time.
Pulling their luggage, Shen Yan rushed over and hugged them.
"Haven't seen you for over a month, I missed you so much!"
"Me too!"
"Come! Hugs~"
...
Forgive me!
In every dormitory, there are always a few people with strong acting skills and outward emotions...
"Alright! There are so many people, let's go out first."
Looking at the two of them, Qiu Xi and Liang Yunfei had no choice but to pull them away.
"Let's go!"
"Let's go, let's go!"
"Yan Yan, Xiao Feifei, let me tell you, when we came just now, we went to..."
