Li Mei heard this inexplicably. Because there were many customers today, the store closed a little later. In addition, Yu Changle came back from Yangcheng with goods. A few people simply packed up, and it was indeed about two hours later than usual. .
But it's not like this every day. Besides, her Qi Rou has never worked overtime for a day. Not to mention leaving on time, it's common for her to leave ten or twenty minutes early.
How could Li Mei take the blame? She immediately retorted:
"I told you about the working hours of our store early in the morning. If the factories get off work at 5:30, we will be open until 6:30 to facilitate customers' shopping. Similarly, people go to work at 8:30, but we don't open until 9:30. Why do you work so long?”
Qi Dongyu didn't give in: "I said I got off work at 6:30, but in fact? Just say what time you came back today! If you say one thing and do another, isn't that like the capitalists who oppressed workers in the old society?"
Li Mei was so angry that she gratefully asked her for help when she was looking for a job, but now she is labeled a capitalist again? !
"I can't afford to be the capitalist you call me. Where have I seen a capitalist who exploits himself?!"
"Don't talk about me, even Changle just got off the train from Yangcheng an hour ago. She is really a little girl who has gone through a long way and endured hardships to do her career. Where is your little girl? There was no one around at half past six. !”
"I have never seen a worker who has a more leisurely job than the boss. Your Qi Rou is an eye-opener for me!"
Qi Dongyu was stunned when he heard this: "You said Qi Rou left at half past six today?"
Li Mei replied angrily: "Not only today, but your good niece is not the last one to come and the first one to leave. I came to you today to talk about this. If she can't change her habit of arriving late and leaving early, then Don’t blame our small shop for not being able to afford her giant Buddha!”
Li Mei was angry and said very unpleasant things. Qi Dongyu's face turned red and pale for a while. However, she and Li Mei had been friends for more than ten years, and they knew each other's temperament thoroughly. Naturally, she knew that Li Mei would not intentionally wrongfully accuse others.
Wang Jianguo originally went to the kitchen to wash a few apples and wanted to pretend to serve them to the guests. When he heard that two tigresses were about to start a fight in the living room, he immediately turned around and went back to the kitchen to find a small horse to sit on and picked up the apples. Chew it up.
He was familiar with this scene, but he had no experience, so he kindly went up to break up the fight. However, without saying a few words, the two people turned their attention to him. Only by joining forces would they be able to fight fiercely!
Now he has learned his lesson, it has nothing to do with him, he just hangs it high, and only those who are stupid will get into trouble.
Qi Dongyu is a smart person. She quickly realized that someone was lying here, and it was most likely her favorite niece Qi Rou. She was shocked and angry.
"Mei Zi, tell me, what has Qi Rou been doing while working in the store during this time?"
Li Mei was embarrassed to speak before, but now Qi Dongyu came to ask questions, and she told everything about Qi Rou's performance.
"...This is the situation. Can you tell me what to do? I also took the decision to recruit Qi Rou into the store because of our more than ten years of friendship. Although it is just a self-employed job, it is not as good as Working in a factory is decent, but if you ask about the salary you get, even the sixth-level workers in meat factories and candy factories probably don't get as much as she does!"
"We get such a high salary and the work is not tiring. Not to mention working overtime, at least we have to go to and from get off work on time. By doing this, isn't she putting me on the fire?! Am I worthy of Changle's trust in me?! "
Qi Dongyu didn't know if he didn't ask, but he was shocked when he asked, feeling that his old face had been completely disgraced by Qi Rou.
To be honest, she, like Qi Rou's parents, did not agree with Qi Rou working in a self-employed store at first. No matter how tight the staffing in those big factories was, it would be no problem to find a way to find a temporary worker to stay there first. There would be suitable ones later. If she has the chance to become a full-time employee, the salary will be less, and the family will not wait for her salary to eat.
But Qi Rou didn't know why she fell in love with the sales job of Yu Changle's clothing store. She clamored and insisted on going. If she didn't agree, she went on a hunger strike at home. This made the elderly at home feel very distressed and called Qi Dongyu to go there overnight. He ordered her to help get this job done.
Qi Dongyu couldn't resist the old man, so he had no choice but to shamelessly ask Li Mei for help. Fortunately, Li Mei was upright and Qi Rou behaved well at that time, so the matter was settled.
But she never expected that the job that Qi Rou had worked so hard to win would be treated so carelessly!
Qi Dongyu is not an unreasonable person. When Li Mei explained everything about Qi Rou in detail, she knew that things were definitely not what her sister and brother-in-law complained about.
"You said she went out to eat at noon and ate for two hours?"
Li Mei finished expressing all the resentment in her heart in one breath. She felt that she was no longer so upset, and her tone softened:
"Isn't that right? We are all members of the military, and the most important thing is discipline. How can we not say hello and not see anyone every day?"
"Speaking of which, I am also her aunt. If you leave your niece in my hands, don't I also have to be responsible for her? This person has been out for so long and doesn't know what he is doing. He won't tell her if anything goes wrong. I'm afraid I won't be able to shoulder this responsibility."
"So, I went to your house to find you today just to talk about this and see if you can talk to her. If she does, we can do it with peace of mind. If she doesn't want to do it, there's no need to force it."
Qi Dongyu nodded with a heavy heart: "I understand, Meizi, this matter must be my Qi Rou's fault. I will go to her to have a good talk, and I will have to explain whether I do it or not."
In fact, compared with keeping her job at Changle Clothing Store, Qi Dongyu was more worried about where the time Qi Rou had hidden went and what she did.
Little girls of this age have a lot of thoughts, so don’t use them for bad things. If there is any mistake, don’t make a big hole in the heart of the old couple!
The reason why Qi Rou has the same surname as Qi is because her father is the son-in-law of her bride-in-law. She has her mother’s surname and she has lived with her grandma and grandpa since she was a child. It is no exaggeration to say that her grandma and grandpa are all eyes. Not as valuable as her.
In the eyes of the two old men, even though Qi Dongyu gave birth to two boys, both of them were named Liu. The only one in their Lao Qi family was Qi Rou. If they didn't treasure her, who would? !
The clock on the wall passed nine o'clock, and "Golden Pimple" Qi Rou slowly returned home.
The four adults in the family couldn't sit still for a long time. As soon as they heard the door lock ring, they immediately opened the door. When they saw it was Qi Rou, their hearts finally returned to their stomachs.
Qi Shuyun hurried to the kitchen to heat up the food that had been heated countless times. Wei Jian was busy taking the small bag from Qi Rou's back. Grandma and grandpa even held each other's hands with eyes full of heartache:
"Oh, dear, why are you getting off work so late today? You've only been working for a few days, and your face has already lost weight. It's better to listen to grandma and grandpa and stop taking this class."
