Cheng Su noticed that after Qi Taiguo had a conversation with Deng Weixia, Deng Weixia’s attitude towards her clearly changed, becoming more respectful and somewhat reverent. She was very curious about what Old Qi had said to make him so cautious.
Qi Taiguo casually said, "Nothing much, I just told him not to become another Zhang Jisheng, otherwise there’d be no family ties left to speak of, and no relatives in the future."
Cheng Su was taken aback and laughed teasingly, "Aren’t you using your position to pressure people?"
Qi Taiguo glanced at her and said, "What’s wrong with that? I’m just teaching him how to behave, giving him a heads-up in advance. You have a kind heart, I don’t want you to lose face. After all, he’s going to work at your restaurant. If anything happens, it’s still your reputation at stake."
If Cheng Su lost face, then he’d lose even more face, since Cheng Su was helping Deng Weixia out of goodwill and consideration. Not helping him, no one would have any reason to say anything. It’s like the saying: helping you is kindness, not helping you is reasonable.
But Deng Weixia is Qi Taiguo’s actual cousin, if he ends up causing any embarrassing troubles, then his old face would be utterly lost, especially in front of Cheng Su.
Cheng Su said, "I hope I didn’t misjudge him this time!"
Since it was decided that he would work at the restaurant, seeing that June was approaching, Qi Fengping had to hurry home to prepare for exams. Knowing that with Mother Qi’s arrival, the two of them definitely couldn’t face it, Qi Taiguo suggested that Deng Weixia go back to the hometown and apologize first.
He privately handed Deng Weixia two Great Unity RMB notes, "Rent a house first, you’ve got to have a place to stay."
Deng Weixia refused, "You guys introduced me to a job, that’s enough. Why give me money? I can’t take it. It’s also awkward with my sister-in-law."
