Cheng Su found Qi Taiguo’s question odd and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Me, unhappy? Where did you see that I’m unhappy?"
"I just know," Qi Taiguo pulled the book out of her hands.
When it came to discerning hidden emotions, Qi Taiguo had become increasingly adept. Although Cheng Su had agreed to let her older sister go home for the holiday, he sensed she was somewhat displeased.
"You seem reluctant to let your sister take leave to go home, is it difficult to manage?" Qi Taiguo asked.
Cheng Su pursed her lips and said, "Shall I just say it?"
"Firstly, as a boss, what I must ensure is fairness and impartiality. The rules I set apply to all employees, regardless of personal feelings. The food industry is busiest during holidays, and unless it’s an emergency, I generally don’t approve leaves. Of course, that’s not to say one can’t take leave, but a report must be filed in advance so the management can make arrangements. This way, the restaurant’s staffing and service can keep up."
"Secondly, considering that my sister has only started working a few days ago and is already asking for leave, it would surely displease any other employer. Who would like an employee who asks for leave as soon as they start? My sister hasn’t been getting along too well with the other employees these past few days. Now that she’s taking leave, I’m afraid she will have an even harder time meshing with them later on. She was already an outsider parachuted into the team, and now that she can’t even communicate well with them, future management will be even more difficult."
"Thirdly, my sister is too soft-hearted. When her husband says a few words, she becomes anxious and gives in, wanting to go back. If her husband asked her not to work and just focus on taking care of the children at home, she would continue to obey and seek peace at the expense of herself? If she doesn’t stand up for herself, when conflicts arise in the future, she’ll only continue to be soft, and in that case, how can she stand tall?"
