Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2173: Chapter 2109: Feels Like a Slap in the Face

Later, when Chiang Xiao arrived, she really took control of the whole situation, and it was so impressive. At that time, she was no longer afraid.

Chiang Xiao said, ”It’s normal to be scared. It’s the teahouse’s responsibility when something like this happens, so start taking a few days off tomorrow.”

”Take a break?”

”Yes.” Chiang Xiao looked at her and asked, ”Or are you thinking about not continuing this job?”

Song Xingbai quickly shook her head, ”No, I still want to play piano here.”

She didn’t want to lose this job at all. Playing the piano is her passion. She could have been a lecturer at a music school, but she felt her personality and speaking skills weren’t good enough. Plus, much of her music learning was self-taught and based on talent. The thought of systematically teaching others made her nervous.

So, she never knew what she could do with her piano skills, until she found this job at Youqingwei. It felt like a perfect fit.

Moreover, the salary here wasn’t low, and the colleagues were all nice.

She was afraid that after what happened tonight, the teahouse wouldn’t want her anymore, which had been worrying her.

”I’m scared you’ll think I caused trouble and won’t want me anymore,” Song Xingbai said, glancing at Du Jinruo.

She wanted Du Jinruo to speak up for her, but realized that her relationship with Chiang Xiao might not be good.

Du Jinruo knew Song Xingbai’s situation too and feared she might lose the job. She wanted to say something on her behalf, but felt her relationship with Chiang Xiao was indeed a bit strange, so she awkwardly said, ”Chiang Xiao, you should know that this isn’t Baibai’s fault.”

Chiang Xiao nodded and said, ”I know, that’s why I didn’t say she couldn’t continue working. I’m just afraid she was shocked tonight and might not be in the mood to play tomorrow, so I wanted her to take a couple of days off.”

Song Xingbai brightened up at these words, ”I can still stay and work here?”

”Of course.”

”Great, then I don’t need to rest. I can come in tomorrow.”

Chiang Xiao smiled.

”Alright, thank you.”

”It’s me who should thank you, Boss Chiang.”

Boss Chiang?

Both Meng Xinian and Kuang Yunxian looked at Chiang Xiao, unable to hold back their laughter.

Such a nickname.

Boss Chiang.

Chiang Xiao also laughed, ”Don’t worry, from now on the store will hire two male colleagues to ensure your safety.”

Hearing this, Du Jinruo couldn’t help but look at her in surprise.

For the sake of the store employees, Chiang Xiao was actually going to hire two male employees to protect them?

Did she not think about the cost?

When there’s nothing going on, what will those two male employees do?

They’d just be getting paid for nothing.

In her opinion, after tonight’s incident, there would be very few people who would dare to come and make trouble, so hiring two male employees would be a waste of money.

But Chiang Xiao seemed completely unconcerned by it, really planning to hire two male employees.

She suddenly felt a bit of admiration for Chiang Xiao.

”You all head home now. Military Beauty Du, take a car home, and be careful on the way.”

Chiang Xiao gave Du Jinruo a slight nod.

Du Jinruo’s face hardened, and she couldn’t help but glare at her, ”Can you not call me that?”

It felt like a slap to the face.

She was well aware that Chiang Xiao was prettier than her.

”I think it sounds nice,” Chiang Xiao shrugged.

Du Jinruo gritted her teeth and pulled Song Xingbai up, ”Baibai, let’s go.”
