"What’s wrong?" Zhang Guilan also looked over.
"It’s nothing, Lihua hasn’t come to work at the shop yet? It’s been so many days."
"I heard she and Cai Jun are having a quarrel. A matchmaker came over a few days ago to discuss the marriage between the two families. Lihua wants Cai Jun to keep working, and Cai Jun wants Lihua to quit her job. Both of them are butting heads, neither willing to give in, and the marriage is being delayed because of this. I think their marriage is going to cause more trouble."
"I’ll hire a couple of new people later," Lin Chuxia said.
"Is that really necessary? Isn’t Lihua just caught up in her marriage issues right now? Once the wedding details are settled, won’t she continue working?"
Lihua is their niece after all, it wouldn’t be appropriate to fire her outright, even if she’s inconsistent in attending work.
Moreover, even if they need someone to fill in for her shift, one person should be enough, why would they need two?
"There’s another thing, your older brother didn’t want me to tell you, but a few days ago Lihua approached your brother, wanting Cai Jun to work here. Your brother knows about the job you arranged for Cai Jun, who voluntarily quit, and he outright rejected her. I suspect that the reason she hasn’t come to work these past few days is that she’s upset with your brother."
At this point, Zhang Guilan sighed, "You see, she seemed like such a good kid before, why would she persist stubbornly in this way?"
This is just a younger generation matter, they aren’t her real uncle and aunt, so it’s not appropriate to probe too deeply nor to comment superficially.
Lin Chuxia smiled nonchalantly, "Sister-in-law, since you know what kind of person she is, why bother about it? Everyone in life pays for their own decisions, and what Qin Lihua is doing now is just paying for her past actions."
When you sympathize with someone, you unconsciously take on their fate. Restrain the desire to correct others, and avoid recklessly intervening in their karma.
Be righteous in your own world and let nature take its course in others’ worlds.
What Qin Lihua does now is her own business, and in the end, whether or not she and Cai Jun work, she only cares about their work situation.
After leaving the Bun Shop, Lin Chuxia went straight back to her office.
When the seasoning packets went missing, she immediately suspected the Old Food Factory’s involvement.
After tasting the newly improved ready-to-eat meals from there today, she was certain.
Lin Chuxia firmly believed that a few seasoning packets wouldn’t reveal her recipe, but since the food factory was targeting them, she wouldn’t let them be disappointed.
At this moment, the employees had gone to work, the small courtyard was quiet, with only Yuan Bao guarding the office door.
Lin Chuxia directly entered her own space.
Speaking of which, other than that spring water, the most important use of her space was the storage room full of seasonings.
In her last years in her past life, she spent most of her time researching these, including readymade meals, beef sauce, chili sauce, mixed rice sauce, bean paste.
Especially her beef sauce and spicy bean paste, which were well-loved by the market and sold both domestically and internationally.
Lin Chuxia spent the afternoon in her office, and only when she heard staff returning did she stretch lazily, looking at the work plans written on the paper, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
Originally, she thought they were in for a long battle with the food factory, but after just a couple of days, there was a long queue in front of the Bun Shop’s ready-meal window, while there were only a few sporadic people across the street.
People were even cursively lining up.
