The door of the lounge was a single-open glass door, which didn't make any sound when it was pushed open. Therefore, the five beauticians in pink gowns were still talking inside.
"Exactly. Deng Xueli is 35 years old this year. Why isn't she married? She doesn't even have a boyfriend."
"Who knows? Maybe she's a lesbian. There are only a few men in our beauty salon, including the head office."
"You can't say that. I think she's too strict and does things by the book. But otherwise, she's fine."
The five beauticians talked about Deng Xueli one after another, but they didn't know that Deng Xueli was standing behind them.
The young girl who led them in wanted to faint now. After all, it was so embarrassing.
She was so embarrassed and angry that she didn't dare to look at Manager Deng.
"It's 9: 25 and 50 now. 55 minutes and 50 seconds have passed since the break. So why are you still in the lounge?" Deng Xueli's cold voice sounded.
Deng Xueli, that is, Manager Deng, looked at the watch on her wrist when she said that. Her expression was the same as when she just entered the door, as if she didn't hear these slanderous and even vicious words. There was no change on her face, only the seriousness of business.
"Hua, hua, hua." Several sounds were made by the beauticians who quickly got up from their chairs.
These beauticians were not young. They looked to be in their late twenties. They were all wearing pink gowns and had their hair tied up in buns. They had light makeup on their faces and looked very good. They looked bright and beautiful.
But now they were all pale and averted their eyes when looking at Deng Xueli. They didn't dare to speak at all.
"I want to know why you are still in the lounge at this time, instead of greeting customers at the front desk or doing beauty preparation work." Deng Xueli looked up at the five beauticians and asked.
"I, I …"
"Well …"
"Well, it's …"
They couldn't say a word. Looking at Deng Xueli's face, they were embarrassed and couldn't say a word.
"For the first time, if you don't show up during working hours, the five of you will copy the rules three times according to the employee handbook. You will be responsible for collecting them and handing them in this week," Deng Xueli said straightforwardly when she saw them hesitating and unable to speak.
"Ah? Oh, okay, Manager Deng. "The young girl leading the way was stunned at first, but then she quickly nodded.
After that, Deng Xueli walked out of the lounge and continued to patrol the store. She carefully checked the cleanliness of each beauty bed and the placement and storage of beauty products.
The whole process took about 30 minutes. During this time, the five beauticians kept quiet and did their own things. Even when the other beauticians finished their work, they did not dare to reply.
It was not until Deng Xueli finished her inspection and left in her high heels that the five of them heaved a sigh of relief.
"I didn't expect that I wouldn't be fined. Good, good."
"Yeah, Deng Xueli actually didn't fine us, but I don't know if she'll make things difficult for us in the future."
"Actually, I heard that although Manager Deng is strict, he rarely fines people. He always follows the rules and regulations."
"You're so naive. Why would you care about our lives when you're in that position? I guess it's not good to just punish us directly. Who knows what will happen in the future?"
Some of the five were worried, while some didn't care. However, there were also some who felt that since they didn't care, it meant that the matter was over.
Meanwhile, Deng Xueli, who was being talked about, drove to the next beauty salon.
As a senior manager, she was only 35 years old and had an annual salary of over 500,000 yuan. However, she didn't get her salary for nothing.
Not to mention staying up all night, Deng Xueli directly started to tour the stores one by one in the morning. This kind of life was the norm for Deng Xueli. Today was the same as usual. She didn't finish the tour of the stores near Taoxi Road until 11: 30 pm.
"Ouch." Deng Xueli, who had just gotten into the car, suddenly covered her stomach and leaned over the steering wheel.
About five minutes later, Deng Xueli's face turned pale. She stood up, picked up the tissue in front of the car, and wiped the sweat on her forehead. Then she started the car and left the garage.
Driving out of the garage, Deng Xueli nodded to the shop assistant outside the car window and left quickly.
Deng Xueli didn't relax until she couldn't see the beauty salon in the rearview mirror. She smiled bitterly, "I almost forgot that I haven't eaten anything for the whole night and the whole morning."
"Let's find a place to eat first. We'll continue in the afternoon." Deng Xueli looked at her watch. It was 11: 35 in the afternoon.
When Deng Xueli was searching for a restaurant near Taoxi Road in her mind, the discussion of those people in the morning came to her mind again.
It wasn't that Deng Xueli cared about those people's words. She had heard worse words from the people closest to her. As for these words from unimportant people, Deng Xueli wouldn't take them to heart.
What she thought of was that Boss Yuan had authentic Guizhou cuisine.
Just as those people said, Deng Xueli was indeed from Guizhou Province. She had lived in Chengdu for eight years, but she still missed the taste of her hometown from time to time.
The intense stomachache just now reminded Deng Xueli of a dish when she was a child.
"I heard that Boss Yuan is a rising restaurant in Chengdu in the past two years. His culinary skills are excellent. It's just nice to have a try in the neighborhood." Deng Xueli changed her mind and drove straight to Taoxi Road.
It wasn't far from Taoxi Road. When Deng Xueli parked her car and arrived at the entrance of Yuanzhou shop on Taoxi Road, it was 11: 49. Lunchtime hadn't started yet, but there were already a lot of people there.
Deng Xueli wasn't a person who gave up easily. Therefore, she walked straight to line up.
"It's really a famous restaurant. There are so many people." Deng Xueli pressed her stomach again and frowned slightly.
"Luckily, I brought my computer." Thinking of that, Deng Xueli took out her handheld computer and started to deal with reports and other documents.
Deng Xueli wasn't conspicuous in the crowd. There were also many white-collar elites who didn't want to waste time. They were also dealing with things on their phones or handheld computers while waiting in line.
Deng Xueli's luck was very good. Not long after, Zhou Jia announced the start of lunchtime.
"Lunchtime starts now. The first 16 people can get their numbers first. Please wait here for your meal. The remaining people can also get their numbers," Zhou Jia announced loudly.
The first 16 people had always been regulars. Of course, there were some new faces occasionally. However, these people all had one thing in common, which was that they were very well-behaved.
After all, the people from the queuing committee were watching them covetously from the side.
When it was Deng Xueli's turn, she happened to draw the second number.
"Although it's a little late, I didn't waste my time waiting." Deng Xueli took the last number and continued to wait.
