"Xiao Xi, do you think Liao Xinming has resolved the issue yet?"
The group, having finished their meal and rested for a while, were now on their way to the milk tea shop.
Qiu Xi shook her head, "I wouldn't know until we get there."
"Alright..."
Song Daiyao, bored, kicked her legs inside the car.
If it weren't for checking the situation, she wouldn't have wanted to go out tonight.
After all, classes were starting tomorrow. Although the first class was at the very end of the morning, it didn't stop her from lamenting the approaching end of the holiday.
A new semester meant a busy start...
...
"Sister Xi!"
"Bosses, why are you all here?"
Liao Xinming, waiting at the shop, immediately got up and opened the door upon hearing movement outside.
However, upon opening the door, he saw all four of them.
Liao Xinming was a little surprised, but only for a moment.
Among these four, Qiu Xi was the one he worried about the most.
His Sister Xi!
When he was first assigned here, he was quite unhappy.
As a top student, even though he had only been working for a year and lacked seniority, his abilities were unquestionable!
Looking at the milk tea shop, which was about to open, he didn't believe that a management talent like himself could make a lot of money in such a place.
Yes, make a lot of money!
Even in just one year, reality had taught him how to behave!
Those with money were the masters!
Everything else, no matter what demons or monsters, had to step aside first!
Thinking this, he reluctantly came for the interview.
Yes, an interview!
Back then, he felt it was a humiliation!
It was already a big deal that he came, yet he still had to be interviewed.
Even more absurd was that the interviewer was a group of female university students!
So, he was quite arrogant back then, walking in with a dismissive expression.
But... that dismissiveness only lasted for a little while...
Not long... just... a minute...
He was instantly defeated by his Sister Xi...
At that time, he didn't understand why a student who had just enrolled for a short time knew so much.
Losing to her in the oral interview was one thing!
After all, it was her major...
Some geniuses, just starting out, had already reached the peak that ordinary people aspired to.
But why didn't anyone tell him!
This young girl was also so formidable across different majors...
He, a science student, a top student, had been working for almost a year, favored by superiors, praised by colleagues...
And yet... he was suppressed by her in his own field...
He was unconvinced back then, so he stayed.
But now, he was especially glad he stayed.
Because what he was earning now had far surpassed his planned life by many years!
"What? Can't we come?"
"Oh! Manager Liao is still spacing out~"
The four people who were about to enter hadn't even pushed the door yet when it opened on its own.
Then they saw Manager Liao Xinming, who had just started speaking, freeze in place.
He couldn't even make way for them...
"Ah... how could this be!"
"Quick, come in!"
Remembering the past, Liao Xinming was jolted back by these two calls.
He immediately stepped aside, inviting the four of them in.
"Sister Xi, please have a seat. I'll prepare some drinks for you."
"..."
After he spoke, and before Qiu Xi and the others could respond, Liao Xinming walked out on his own.
As a qualified employee, she knew by heart what her bosses liked to drink.
Thinking it was already this late, she also prepared a few extra cups of warm water before picking up the tray and carrying it over.
After placing and distributing the items, Liao Xinming tidied himself up and sat down properly.
Qiu Xi, watching from the side, picked up the warm water beside her, took a sip, and then slowly began to speak.
"How is it? Did you find out?"
Liao Xinming had been waiting for this moment since earlier.
So, as soon as Qiu Xi spoke, he organized his thoughts and nodded.
"It's all clear. Wei Wei started it."
"Oh~"
"Then tell us!"
Although Qiu Xi's tone was light, she was actually furious.
Even though she had already expected this outcome, she was still angry!
Wei Wei was someone they had spent several days looking for to recruit.
They had also gotten along for quite some time, and she hadn't expected her to be this kind of person.
Now, all one could say was... only time reveals a person's heart!
"As you instructed, Sister Xi, I caught her red-handed as soon as she arrived this afternoon."
"She did indeed privately replace some of the shop's pastries and seasonings, which caused a significant difference in the taste of the shop's pastries."
"She started doing this about three months ago, and some staff members discovered it. To avoid being fired, she started small bribes..."
"..."
