"Are you taking me to an internet café to play games?"
Zhou Yujie teased Wu Wei on purpose.
"Haha, well, that's not entirely out of the question."
Wu Wei smiled and said, "Alright, no more joking, your job's thing has been sorted. You need your ID for the onboarding."
Wu Wei hadn't told her the truth, planning to give her a surprise when they arrived.
"Job's been sorted out?"
Zhou Yujie was somewhat surprised, "That was quick, why didn't you tell me earlier? I haven't even put on makeup!"
"With your looks, why do you need makeup?"
Wu Wei immediately said, "Just tidy up a bit, and we can go. I've made an appointment with them for ten o'clock, we're running out of time."
"Then give me a moment, I'll be quick."
A short while later, Zhou Yujie was ready.
The two got into the car and headed towards the city center.
Half an hour later.
When they were near Jiyu Old Hot Pot, Zhou Yujie pointed and said to Wu Wei, "That's the hot pot restaurant where I used to work, Jiyu Old Hot Pot!"
"I know."
Wu Wei said as he parked the car right in front of the restaurant.
"Eh, why are we stopping here?"
Zhou Yujie asked in surprise, "Is the place I'm going to work nearby?"
"Not nearby, it is right here."
Wu Wei said calmly.
"Here?!"
Zhou Yujie looked at Wu Wei with a face full of astonishment and a hint of complexity in her eyes, "The job you found for me isn't as a waitress in this restaurant, is it?"
"How could that be possible?"
Wu Wei shook his head to deny it.
Zhou Yujie immediately breathed a sigh of relief but was still confused, "If I'm not being a waitress, then what am I going to do?"
"Guess?"
Wu Wei playfully teased.
Zhou Yujie pondered. Apart from being a waitress, it seemed there were no other suitable positions in the restaurant for her.
It couldn't be that she was going to be a chef, could it?
The key issue was, her ex-boyfriend Wang Xiong was still working there as the manager!
Having her work at this restaurant would be like pushing her into a pit of fire, wouldn't it?
He had previously claimed he would help her get rid of the big problem that was Wang Xiong completely!
At this thought, Zhou Yujie suddenly had an epiphany.
She couldn't help but think: Could it be that Wu Wei wants me to replace Wang Xiong and become the manager of this restaurant?
The more she thought about it, the more it seemed to make sense.
After all, it was impossible for her to work in the same restaurant as Wang Xiong.
And Wu Wei had specifically asked her for the hot pot restaurant owner's number before, which meant he must have spoken directly with the owner.
The content of their conversation was very likely him convincing the owner to agree to fire Wang Xiong and to let her be the manager.
It must be so!
With this thought, Zhou Yujie couldn't help but get excited.

Being a manager was so much better than being a salesperson at Porsche!
Not only would her monthly salary be over ten thousand yuan!
More importantly, she would be able to get Wang Xiong fired, give him a harsh blow, and take a really good revenge for herself!
Zhou Yujie looked at Wu Wei, her eyes filled with anticipation as she asked, "Could it be as manager?"
"Sort of."
Wu Wei smiled casually, neither confirming nor denying.
"Yes or no, what do you mean by 'sort of'?"
Zhou Yujie pouted, dissatisfied that Wu Wei hadn't given a clear answer.
"You'll know in a moment!"
Wu Wei grinned at Zhou Yujie and then got out of the car.
The Jiyu Old Hot Pot restaurant was street-facing and not yet open. Through the glass, they could see the waitstaff inside cleaning.
"Sorry, we're not open yet."
As they walked in, a staff member cleaning the door turned and said with a smile.
"I'm not here for a meal, I'm looking for your boss," Wu Wei stated directly.
"Oh, is it Boss Wu?"
Upon hearing this, the waiter immediately understood and promptly said, "Our boss is waiting for you upstairs; you can go straight up."
"Okay."
Wu Wei nodded and was about to go upstairs.
Just then, a female waitress next to him suddenly called out, "Zhou Yujie?"
Zhou Yujie, coming to this place where many things had happened before, couldn't help feeling a mix of emotions.
Hearing someone calling her, she turned her head, smiled and said, "Liu Yun!"
The waitress named Liu Yun came over to her, somewhat surprised: "Why are you here at the store? Are you here looking for Wang Xiong?"
"No."
Feeling somewhat embarrassed at this question, Zhou Yujie said, "I've got something to discuss with the boss. We'll chat later."
After saying this, Zhou Yujie walked upstairs with Wu Wei.
The nearby waiters, seeing this, immediately gathered around Liu Yun, curious.
"Was that Zhou Yujie just now? Why has she come here?"
"She must be looking for Wang Xiong, right? Are they getting back together?"
"That shouldn't be the case; Wang Xiong is known to be abusive!"
"But it's not easy for her to raise a child alone; getting back together would be good for the child too."
"She just said she's not here for Wang Xiong; she's here to see the boss."
"What does she want with the boss?"
"Is that handsome guy next to her her new boyfriend?"
...
As they were discussing, Wang Xiong came out of the kitchen: "What are you doing not cleaning and gathering here gossiping?"
Everyone scattered immediately, going back to their respective places.
Wang Xiong frowned and asked, "Liu Yun, who just came in?"
Liu Yun thought for a moment, then said, "It was Zhou Yujie."
"Zhou Yujie?"
Wang Xiong's face immediately showed surprise as he frowned tightly and said, "Where is she now? Is she alone?"
"No, she's with a man."
Liu Yun said, pointing upstairs with her chin: "She has gone upstairs to see the boss now."
"Upstairs?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiong felt a twinge of unease.
He had heard from the boss in the morning about a meeting with a Boss Wu; could it have something to do with Zhou Yujie?
What did she come here for?
Surely Boss Wu wasn't her Porsche-driving new boyfriend?
Thinking this, Wang Xiong felt very uneasy.
He hesitated for a moment, then made his way upstairs.
...
In the private room on the second floor, Yang Lixin had long been waiting with tea ready.
Seeing Wu Wei come in, he immediately said with a smile, "Boss Wu!"
As he said this, his gaze landed on Zhou Yujie beside him, pausing for a moment: "You are... Yujie?"
"It's me, Boss!"
Zhou Yujie smiled a bit nervously and nodded to Yang Lixin.
"So what brings you two here...?"
The look on Yang Lixin's face went back and forth between Zhou Yujie and Wu Wei.
Wu Wei answered openly: "She's my girlfriend."
"Oh, a truly handsome couple."
Yang Lixin, with a broad smile, said, "Please, take a seat."
Wu Wei and Zhou Yujie sat down together.
Aside from Yang Lixin in the room, there was also a middle-aged man wearing a suit.
He looked like a lawyer.
After taking a sip of tea, the lawyer took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and said to Wu Wei, "Boss Wu, this is the draft of the store transfer agreement I prepared yesterday. Please have a look."
"Okay."
Wu Wei reached out to take them. seaʀᴄh thё novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Zhou Yujie, however, was startled by the words "store transfer agreement," her entire person taken aback.
She immediately tugged at Wu Wei's clothes and whispered: "You're buying this hotpot restaurant?"
