Jiang Yue and Xue Yan stopped in their tracks.

The waiters were helping to move the things, but they looked afraid that someone in the restaurant would hear them. They whispered to Shopkeeper Qiao, “Hey man don’t be sad. If you were the owner, you would definitely be more willing to trust your relatives. After all, outsiders are outsiders, right?”

“We won’t get to send you off. Sorry.” As he spoke, the waiters hurriedly entered the restaurant again, afraid that the new shopkeeper would see them talking to Qiao and put their jobs at risk.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other and basically understood what was happening. It should be that the owner of Lucky Restaurant didn’t trust Shopkeeper Obo and didn’t let Shopkeeper Qiao be the shopkeeper. Instead, he used his own relative as the shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper Qiao looked dejected. He had worked in Lucky Restaurant for ten years and had done his best to build this place from the ground up. He always had the restaurant’s best interest at heart. In the end, the other party still did not trust him and appointed a relative as the shopkeeper. He was probably too emotional to speak right now. After all, he still had a lot of feelings for this restaurant. He had helped the owner of this restaurant develop Lucky Restaurant step by step, becoming the largest restaurant in Pingan Town with the best business. Even the restaurant in the county was very good. Therefore, he couldn’t help but raise his head and look at the signboard of Lucky Restaurant again in despair. Then, he shook his head and sighed again. In the end, he turned around and prepared to get into the carriage to let the coachman take him and his luggage away.

However, before he could get on the carriage, he saw the two children he enjoyed talking to. They were parked not far away. He was stunned at first, but then he waved at them and greeted them with a smile. “Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, you’re both here.”

Although he was no longer the shopkeeper of the Lucky Restaurant, he could not lose his etiquette. He had also studied management for a few years. He could not let a silly matter ruin his relationship with others.

“Shopkeeper Qiao.” Xue Yan also waved back.

“Hello.” Jiang Yue also shouted.

“There’s no need to address me as such any longer.” Shopkeeper Qiao smiled bitterly. “People don’t want me anymore.” After saying that, he couldn’t help but sigh. He felt a chill in his heart. In the past ten years, he had sacrificed a lot for this restaurant.

Xue Yan and Jiang Yue silently looked at each other again. Only then did Xue

Yan raise his hand and ask. “Pardon me for being presumptuous. May I ask what your plans are for the future?”

Shopkeeper Qiao smiled bitterly. “l thought I could at least work for a few more years. I didn’t think about my future. Since I’ve been put to this point in my life, it’s time to think about my future plans. I have a large family, my parents are often sick, and my child is too young to work. I always need money to either care for my parents or my child. Over the years, I haven’t saved much money because I had to give everything to them. If I have any plans in the future, I guess I’ll just look around and see if anyone needs a shopkeeper and is willing to hire me.”

Only then did Xue Yan say, “To be honest, Sifu has always been very appreciative of your character and abilities. I would appreciate it if you’d consider coming to our family’s shop to be the shopkeeper. It’s just that our family’s shop is still small right now and can’t compare to Lucky Restaurant. I would understand if you do not wish to because we are a small business, if that’s the case, I won’t force it. If you do, however, consider the offer, feel free to come to our family’s rice noodle shop to be the shopkeeper. Sifu will definitely welcome you with open arms.”

At first, Shopkeeper Qiao was extremely surprised. He did not expect that such a shrewd and business-minded Xue Yan would actually want to hire him. In the next moment, he felt a little gratified and warm.

He felt that all those years of hard work were finally paying off.

Although the owner of the Lucky Restaurant made him feel disappointed, the waiters of the restaurant were actually quite reluctant to let him go. Now that Xue Sifu had appeared, he also recognized his character and ability…

However, Shopkeeper Qiao did not agree rashly and took some time to think about things..
