Reborn in the 80s, Get Rich by Eating Melons

Chapter 460: Chapter 460 This is a Bad Habit of Many Men

Seeing their joyous faces and hopeful eyes about the future, Tong Yao chuckles, "If you ever need help, just ask my dad. He might seem gruff, but he’s not that hard to get along with. You’ll have four days off every month, but since there’s not many of us at the Breeding Farm right now, you’ll have to stagger your days off. Once we expand and have more staff, you’ll be able to take off at the same time."

It was apparent they had a good relationship. Tong Yao was understanding and wouldn’t mind giving them the same time off, so long as there were enough staff on hand.

Jian Jun laughed and said, "We don’t really have anywhere to go on our days off, so it’s okay if we don’t take them."

Liu Sanwa agreed. Having food to eat, a place to stay, and a wage was something they were already content with. They wouldn’t mind working every day.

Tong Yao didn’t take Jian Jun’s comment to heart. Even if he was sincere, they wouldn’t let him work himself to exhaustion. _{𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝒐𝒎}

Seeing that the two boys were honest and straightforward, not cunning or shrewd, Tong Yao kindly advised, "If you want to earn steady income, stick with Gu Hongwei. Pay close attention to his words. He’s capable. If you continue working with him, you won’t lead a bad life."

Jian Jun and Liu Sanwa took heed of Tong Yao’s advice since she had helped them numerous times before. They felt she wouldn’t deceive them.

To them, Tong Yao was very business savvy. If she said Gu Hongwei was capable, then he definitely was.

Neither of them were educated or skilled. Meeting someone who could give them clear guidance was a rare opportunity.

Little did Tong Yao know that her reminder would result in the two boys sticking by Gu Hongwei’s side, becoming his right-hand men. Despite their lack of education, Gu Hongwei went as far as hiring trainers for them. But that’s another story.

After Tong Yao walked the two to the car, she waved them off, "Take off! If anything comes up, reach out to Hongwei or my dad."

"Goodbye!"

As Jian Jun and Liu Sanwa parted ways with Tong Yao, they felt as though they were parting with a family member, choking back tears.

After they left, Deng Wenwen leaned in, "Sister Yaoyao, why does it seem like they’re saying goodbye to their own mom when they look at you?"

Tong Yao butted in "I can’t possibly have sons their age."

Just as Deng Wenwen was about to reply, she saw a woman entering the shop across the street. Her eyes widened, "Sister Yaoyao, Lin Man has gone back to the shop across the shop. How shameless of her! Zhao Wenkai dumped her not long ago, and she’s already found her way to Shi Yan. That Shi Yan is really a fool to take someone like her in. Is he ill or something?"

Tong Yao looked over and made eye contact with Lin Man. She chuckled and looked away.

"Shi Yan has been chasing Lin Man for years, without success. To him, Lin Man is like his untouchable moonlight. Now that he has money, he surely wants to reach out and touch this moonlight of his, to offset his regret. It’s a bad habit that many men have."

Whether Shi Yan wants to marry Lin Man, Tong Yao wasn’t sure, since she could not read his mind or understand him fully.

But she knew Lin Man. If Shi Yan ended up marrying Lin Man, he’d better be able to provide for her indefinitely. Otherwise, Lin Man would surely ditch him.

Frankly, Lin Man was with Shi Yan only because she didn’t have a better option.

"Sister Yaoyao, I kinda get what you mean now." Deng Wenwen felt enlightened.

Just as Tong Yao was about to reply, a woman’s scream suddenly rang out from across the street. Lin Man was seen grabbing another woman’s hair and berating her.

"Who do you think you are? An employee showing off in front of me! Get out of here, you’re fired!"

The girl whose hair was being yanked was a store attendant named, Dong Shanshan. While she bore the pain, she did not admit defeat.

"What gives you the right to fire me? You’re not even married to Mr. Shi yet. Why are you acting like the boss’s wife? Mr. Shi already told Mr. Xiao that he’s just messing with you, and yet here you are, acting all mighty...."

Lin Man was enraged at this, tightening her grip on Dong Shanshan’s hair. "Say that again and I’ll rip your mouth apart! Don’t think I don’t know that you’re trying to seduce Shi Yan behind my back! Trying to steal my man, you good-for-nothing vixen! Do you even know how long Shi Yan pursued me for?"

Feeling the pain of Lin Man’s grip, Dong Shanshan fought back, grabbing Lin Man’s hair too. Just as tough, if not tougher, she gave as good as she got. The two brawled. The other staff either was stunned or stood back, watching the drama unfold.

"A fight, a fight’s broken out." Deng Wenwen was so engrossed she could hardly blink.

Tong Yao, on the other hand, watched the drama unfold with cool detachment. Yet very soon, a crowd gathered to watch, blocking her view. She could only hear their shrieks and knew they were going at it intensely.

"Who would have guessed, Lin Man is so feisty." Deng Wenwen jumped up trying to get a better view, itching to get closer.

Not long after, Shi Yan appeared in the doorway. He pushed his way through the crowd, watched the two women grappling, and shouted, putting an end to the drama.

Tong Yao raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Who do you think Shi Yan will side with?"

"Must be Lin Man," Deng Wenwen guessed. "Didn’t you say Lin Man was his ’moonlight’?"

Tong Yao smiled without uttering a word. True, Lin Man was Shi Yan’s "moonlight". But the difference between a man who has attained his "moonlight" and one who hasn’t is quite significant.

Furthermore, Dong Shanshan’s audacity in standing up to Lin Man suggested that someone was giving her confidence. And it was easy to guess who.

As Tong Yao expected, Shi Yan barked, "Lin Man, what are you causing a scene here for?"

A wave of rage washed over Lin Man at Shi Yan’s words, "I’m your girlfriend. I came here to see if they’re slacking off. Why shouldn’t I? You have no idea how she treated me, even daring to fight with me. You have to fire her now."

"Boss, I’ve been doing my job well. As soon as she came, she started cursing and hitting people." Dong Shanshan had changed her arrogant attitude, looked pitifully at Shi Yan and even showed him the scratched marks on her neck left by Lin Man.

Shi Yan stared intently, not uttering a word, which left Lin Man almost on the brink of explosion.

"Shi Yan, are you even listening to what I’m saying?" She commanded, "You have to fire her now or we’re over."
