Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk! - Chapter 82: 82: Just an Idiot

Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Just an Idiot

The next morning.

Zhao Yulu arrived at Jang De Lao.

“Hello, I’m here for the interview,” Zhao Yulu entered Jang De Lao and said to the receptionist.

“Okay, please follow me,” the receptionist led Zhao Yulu to a conference room.

Jang De Lao had been constantly hiring, with two interview sessions every morning and afternoon.

There were quite a few people in the conference room, both young people like Zhao Yulu and older middle-aged folks.

Zhao Yulu found a seat and sat down to wait without talking to anyone else.

Those who had arrived earlier were chatting with each other.

“Have you heard? I heard that the boss is going to do a different kind of firepot.”

“Really? I haven’t heard that. It wasn’t mentioned in the job posting, how do you know?”

“I have a friend working as a server in the company; they’re currently being trained. My friend told me.”

“A different kind of firepot? What could be so different about firepot?”

“I don’t know the specifics, but it seems to be about offering a different kind of service.”

“A different service? Special service? It’s a firepot restaurant for eating, how can it offer something different?”

“Don’t think dirty, it’s a service that others haven’t offered before. I don’t know the specifics; we’ll only find out once the store opens. Anyway, the pay is high, so I came.”

“I heard that the company’s general manager has been changed, and some say the new general manager used to own a small restaurant.”

“A small restaurant owner can become the company’s general manager? Impossible, right?”

“I heard the general manager is the boss’s father-in-law. What do you think, possible or not?”

“So that’s it. But is this general manager competent? If we come to work here, is there a future for us?”

“I’ve heard the general manager is very capable. When he was young, he was a senior executive of a catering group. Now, he’s coming out of retirement, and the tactics he’s displayed these past few days have amazed everyone.”

“As long as the general manager and the boss are fine, the company can continue to develop and grow. If we do well, there’s hope for promotions and pay raises.”

“All this information you guys have is rather vague. I, on the other hand, know some definite news, the company’s general manager is the owner of Old Zhao’s restaurant on Linghai Road.”

“I know about that too. A few days ago, I happened to be at Old Zhao’s restaurant when there was a disturbance. My friend goes there often and is quite familiar with the owner.”

“Are you trying to pull some strings?”

“What strings? If I had any connections, would I still be waiting here?”

The crowd was discussing, mostly about the company and things related to the general manager and the boss.

Zhao Yulu was not interested at first, but when she heard the young man nearby say that the company’s general manager was the owner of Old Zhao’s restaurant, she couldn’t help but be stunned. Isn’t that her dad?

She snapped back to reality and quickly asked the young man, “Handsome guy, is what you just said true? The company’s general manager is the former owner of Old Zhao’s restaurant on Linghai Road?”

The young man replied, “Of course it’s true. My friend told me.”

Zhao Yulu furrowed her brows. How did her dad become the general manager of Jang De Lao?

Why would the company’s boss hire her dad, who had been out of the workforce for over a decade, as the general manager?

No, that’s not right. Someone mentioned earlier that the general manager is the boss’s father-in-law.

Could it be…

Zhao Yulu thought of a possibility and hastily took out her phone to look up Jang De Lao’s business registration information.

She discovered that the company’s legal representative was Xu Yang!

“How can this be? The company’s boss is Xu Yang?” Zhao Yulu found it hard to believe.

“Right, beauty, my name is Wang Chao, what’s yours? We might be colleagues in the future, so let’s get to know each other first.”

The young man saw that Zhao Yulu was very beautiful and had been wanting to strike up a conversation.

Now that they had started talking, hitting on her was just the natural thing to do.

“`

If we had exchanged contact information, whether we could work together or not, we could still be friends, and possibly even become boyfriend and girlfriend.

“Sorry, I have to leave now.”

Zhao Yulu quickly got up and left.

The boss was Xu Yang, and the general manager was her father; there was no way she could attend the interview, much less work at Jiang Dilaio.

She couldn’t bring herself to do that either.

Leaving the company, Zhao Yulu felt completely at a loss.

How did Xu Yang become the owner of a catering company all of a sudden?

How did Xu Yang have so much money to acquire a catering company like this?

Could it be, as her sister said, that Xu Yang really made money from somewhere else?

At that moment, her phone rang.

Looking at it, she realized it was Chen Guanglei calling.

Zhao Yulu answered the call.

“Yu Lu, let’s have lunch together, I’ll come pick you up soon, and in the afternoon we could go to the flower market in Nancheng to hang out.”

With nothing better to do, Chen Guanglei was always out having fun, his main goal for now was to win over Zhao Yulu.

“No, I have an interview today,” Zhao Yulu shook her head.

Today, besides Jiang Dilaio, she had chosen another company as well.

That company had notified her to come for an interview in the afternoon.

“Yu Lu, I told you to work at my dad’s company or I could introduce you to work at my friend’s company, but you don’t want to. Why is that? It’s all the same work no matter where you do it,” Chen Guanglei sighed.

“I’ll keep looking first,” Zhao Yulu didn’t close off the conversation completely. If she really couldn’t find a satisfactory job, she might indeed agree to Chen Guanglei’s offer, after all, making money was the most important thing.

“Alright, what company are you interviewing with today? Let me see if I can give you some insight. I am fairly familiar with some companies after all.”

Chen Guanglei mainly wanted to find out which company Zhao Yulu was interviewing with to see if he knew someone there, so he could give a nod under the table to help Zhao Yulu, and then let her know about it afterward.

This way, even if Zhao Yulu didn’t want to accept his favor, she would have accepted it already.

“I was originally planning to interview at Jiang Dilaio this morning, but I’m out now,” Zhao Yulu said.

“Jiang Dilaio? You mean the former Yuhuo Renjia?” Chen Guanglei asked.

“Yes, do you know about it?” Zhao Yulu was somewhat surprised.

“I heard from friends these past few days that Yuhuo Renjia has changed owners and been renamed Jiang Dilaio,” Chen Guanglei said.

“Then, do you know who the owner of Jiang Dilaio is?” Zhao Yulu asked.

“No idea, who is it?” Chen Guanglei asked casually.

“It’s Xu Yang,” Zhao Yulu said.

“Xu Yang?” Chen Guanglei paused before realizing, “You mean your ex-boyfriend, now brother-in-law Xu Yang?”

“Yes,” Zhao Yulu was somewhat speechless. Why add those prefixes, isn’t it enough to just say the name?

“Haha, so it’s him!” Chen Guanglei laughed.

“What’s so funny about that?” Zhao Yulu frowned, really not understanding what there was to laugh about.

“Yu Lu, you should know that Yuhuo Renjia is an old hot pot brand in Jiangcheng, right?” Chen Guanglei said.

“I know, there’s a branch next to our university, I used to go there often,” Zhao Yulu replied.

“Yuhuo Renjia has been a brand for over a decade, quite valuable. If Xu Yang had kept it running as it was, he could have made at least eighteen to twenty million a year.”

“But instead, he changed it to this what, Jiang Dilaio? Don’t you think he’s out of his mind?”

“Building a brand is extremely difficult; changing the name is just foolish. I’m sure that his Jiang Dilaio will definitely go under within a year.”

Chen Guanglei snorted derisively, certain that Xu Yang was a fool.
