In 1992, a small village owner became the richest man in the village by owning a car.

Chapter 258 Make a friend
After thinking about it, Yu Dawei had no choice but to agree. Judging from what the other party had said before, they clearly had a good relationship with Lao Liang, so it would be good to stay and make friends.

Although he had doubts about Brother Liang's judgment in making friends, he was confident in his own judgment. This Boss Li was clearly a sincere person and did things in a methodical manner.

Judging from the other person's emotions and behavior after hearing the whole story, deep down they are definitely someone who enjoys taking revenge.

Yu Dawei likes to be friends with people like this, who don't hide anything, which is great.

Following the other party's instructions, he took his wife to the jewelry store, but instead of the store, they went to the other party's private office, which was located in the staff office area on the fifth floor. However, one of the offices there was reserved specifically for Mr. Li.

At Fu Bao Gold Shop, Li Fubao, who usually always had a smile on his face, had a terribly gloomy expression at this moment. When he looked at each of the female shop assistants around him, he exuded a strong sense of oppression.

“Okay.” Li Fubao nodded, then looked at Qin Yourong. “Is this how you usually lead everyone? You have such a strong sense of teamwork, I should have promoted you to store manager a long time ago.”

Qin Yourong was a smart woman. She knew that saying anything at this moment would be a mistake. Moreover, she knew her boss's temper all too well over the years and knew that he was angry.

She lowered her head and made a reprimanding face, hoping to evoke her boss's sympathy. It didn't matter if others were fired, but she had been his trusted confidante for so many years, so he should spare her this time.

"Nobody's going to say anything, is that it? You all think this is just a minor issue like fighting over an order, right?" Li Fubao roared. "Raise your heads, all of you!"

"If Yu Dawei hadn't been introduced by my friend today, and if Xiao Zhou hadn't been here, who would be responsible for the losses suffered by the jewelry store?!"

“If Yu Dawei doesn’t come back from outside today and tell me what happened, how many more times will you do this despicable and secretive thing!”

Li Fubao stood there, his large belly twitching with anger. But what he was really angry about was himself!

Damn it, he really wasn't cut out for business; he'd been completely outmaneuvered by a bunch of shop assistants! How could he not be furious?
"Do you think that just because there are more of you, I can't do anything to you? I think you've forgotten who's in charge here, haven't you?" Li Fubao gave Qin Yourong a deep look: "As I said before, all those who frame and slander me don't need to work here anymore."

The women were stunned by his words, never expecting their boss to actually do it. Wasn't he afraid that after they all left, no one would take care of the shop?

Qin Yourong was filled with disbelief, even doubting whether she had heard correctly. She had been working with Li Fubao since his first store, and had built it up to this size, to the point that the manager of Taishang Department Store personally invited him to open a store there.

I did contribute to the effort, okay?! And now they're just telling me to get rid of me like that?!
"Why?!" Qin Yourong could no longer hold back, her eyes red as she pointed at Zhou Xiaofei, "She clearly stole my client, and you not only won't help me, but you also want to fire me!"

Li Fubao glanced at Qin Yourong with some disdain, and after a long silence, he finally spoke: "Yourong, you've worked for me for so many years. You used to be a broad-minded girl like Xiao Zhou, and you loved to laugh. How did you become like this? Not only are you all talk and no action, but you're also self-righteous."

“I’m not going to take back what I’ve said.” Li Fubao’s eyes gradually turned cold. “You’ve been with me for so many years, and I’m advising you to quit while you’re ahead. I can give you a bonus when you leave, which is more than enough. As for keeping you here, that’s absolutely impossible.”

"I won't say much about the others. Take off your clothes, and you can leave today." Li Fubao looked at the women seriously. "Starting today, Fubao Gold Shop will be closed for renovations. I'll settle your wages in a bit, and then you can go wherever you need to go."

At this moment, all the female shop assistants realized that the boss was not joking. Even the most senior employee, Sister Qin, had been fired. Even if the others wanted to say something, they were too embarrassed to speak up.

Finally, at Li Fubao's instruction, everyone changed into civilian clothes, collected their wages for this month and last month, and left.

Zhou Xiaofei was the last one. She had planned to resign today anyway, so whether she left or not didn't really matter to her.

However, her sympathy welled up again. Because of what happened today, many of her colleagues had been fired. But then she thought about the days when she was isolated, and she felt a sense of satisfaction.

Thinking of this, she raised her head and walked proudly like a mother hen to the boss to collect her monthly salary. She planned to go to the second and third floors of the department store to spend some money and buy herself a new outfit! After all, she hadn't even bought a new outfit for the New Year.

"Why are you reaching out to me?" Li Fubao was calculating the extent of his impending losses when a small hand suddenly appeared in front of him. He looked up and saw that it was Zhou Xiaofei, and was speechless.

"I... I want my wages." Zhou Xiaofei was also stunned for a moment. Could it be that her boss didn't want to pay her wages because she had caused trouble?

"Who said I was going to fire you?" Li Fubao rubbed his forehead. This child is too young. Even if he has a good character, he needs to be nurtured more in the future. He can't just ignore him and raise another Qin Yourong.

“But…” Zhou Xiaofei scratched her head.

Did you forge documents?

"No."

Is what you're saying the truth?

"Yes!"

"Then why are you resigning?" Li Fubao sighed. "From now on, you'll be the manager of the Fubao Gold Shop in the department store. You absolutely can't be so clueless anymore, understand?"

"Me?!" Zhou Xiaofei stared at her boss in shock. She was going to resign, after all.

"Yes." Li Fubao smiled at Zhou Xiaofei. "Yes, so are you still going to resign now?"

"No, no, no!" Zhou Xiaofei exclaimed excitedly, instinctively rubbing the corner of her clothes. "Thank you, boss, thank you, boss."

"Do a good job, I have faith in you." Li Fubao finally suppressed his previous resentment. This major reshuffle in the store can be seen as a process of weeding out the weak. After settling things at the store, Li Fubao gave Zhou Xiaofei a few days off and asked her to write a talent recruitment plan and personnel management regulations for the gold shop.

This can be considered a test for Zhou Xiaofei. As for whether he can pass, it depends on what his wife thinks.

After all the employees left, Li Fubao prepared to lock the shop door and go upstairs, only to find Qin Yourong waiting for him at the door.

"Boss, I was wrong." Qin Yourong said sincerely, "Can you give me another chance? I promise it won't happen again."

"You Rong, what were you doing all this time?" It was impossible for Li Fubao not to have feelings for this employee who had been with him for many years.

Even if you've used a fountain pen for many years, you'll still feel regretful when you throw it away, let alone a person.

only……

Li Fubao finally couldn't help but say, "Yourong, I should have made you the manager of this Fubao Gold Shop a long time ago, but you have really disappointed me. Recently, the income of the old shop is four to five times that of this shop."

“You know, this is the hottest place in the oil city. Even if there are a lot of gold shops, it’s impossible for sales to be this bad. I only understand why today.” Li Fubao kindly reminded Qin Yourong, “You’re too narrow-minded right now, and you’re seriously unrealistic. Go home and reflect on your actions, and then find a stable job.”

After Li Fubao finished speaking, he left.

As for giving Qin Yourong a chance, he had given her countless times already. If it weren't for his continued support for Qin Yourong, his wife would have stopped giving her the opportunity to be promoted to store manager long ago.

Qin Yourong stood there blankly, hating everyone in her heart. Whether it was the boss, the couple, or Zhou Xiaofei, she would find a way to get revenge on anyone who opposed her!

"You fired me just because of one client, Li Fubao! You just wait!" Qin Yourong said through gritted teeth, her head bowed, completely unaware that a man had appeared behind her.

The man had slicked-back hair, a black bag tucked under his arm, and wore baggy trousers. He was also holding a burgundy jewelry box in his hand.

When the jewelry box was handed to Qin Yourong, the golden necklace inside caught her eye.

"A gift for me?" Qin Yourong turned her head and glanced at the middle-aged man. Wasn't this the man from the middle-aged couple she had entertained before?

She couldn't figure out what the other person meant.

“I saw it all. It’s just a run-down gold shop. With my wealth, I could easily open one for you.” The middle-aged man smiled confidently, raising the gold necklace in his hand. “It’s yours.”

Qin Yourong looked surprised. She had worked in a gold shop for many years and could tell the weight of a piece of gold almost at a glance. Twenty grams or so would be worth at least two thousand yuan.

"What? You thought it was fake? Fine then." The middle-aged man slowly withdrew his hand. "We're all adults, and I don't like beating around the bush. It's your freedom if you don't want to follow me."

"Wait." Qin Yourong raised her hand and grabbed the gold necklace. Her eyes lit up with her usual haughty expression. "You can follow me, but what about the woman who's with you?"

"I've already kicked him out." The man sneered.

"I don't need a specific time when the gold shop will be available."

"Three months. Give me three months to prepare, and I guarantee I'll give you a gold shop."

Qin Yourong wanted to say something after hearing this, but the hatred and desire in her heart overshadowed everything, and in the end she chose to compromise.

Meanwhile, Yu Dawei was sitting on the black leather sofa in his office, chatting and drinking water with Han Jingfan.

"Honey, I'm just saying, can you put your bag down? There's no one else here but you and me." Yu Dawei looked at his wife, who was holding the red bag in her arms like a mother hen protecting her chicks, with amusement.

"That won't do, things here are too expensive." Han Jingfan lowered her voice when she said "expensive," as if afraid the people outside the door would hear.

Yu Dawei grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth.

His money-grubbing attitude is exactly the same as in his past life.

Just then, the orange door was pushed open, and a large-bellied man strode in, followed by a short, middle-aged man with a smile.

Yu Dawei noticed out of the corner of his eye that Han Jingfan tightened her grip on the bag in her arms the moment Boss Li entered.

"I'm sorry, gentlemen. I've made you wait for me twice today." Li Fubao smiled awkwardly.
