Chapter 857: Chapter 857: Wen Yanqing is Very Satisfied
For several days, Lin Gantang was busy with matters concerning the bookstore.
After getting up early to go to the store, she no longer went to Shengfang, eating lunch separately from him until finally, she hoped to be intimate at home in the evening. But after a busy day, Lin Gantang said she was tired and wanted to rest early, not giving Wen Yanqing a chance to do anything.
Wen Yanqing, who had gotten used to being inseparable during his period of blindness, began to show signs of resentment.
He quietly observed the bookstore and felt that the appointment of a new manager had to be arranged immediately!
But hiring a new manager might not be something Gantang would entrust completely, guessing she would want to train them personally. Wen Yanqing pondered for a moment and decided to look for someone experienced, preferably the kind who wouldn’t even need a break-in period.
Wen Yanqing set his sights on the previous manager of Cat Bookstore.
And so, not long after, when Lin Gantang saw Qian Ruoxi coming in for an interview, she was quite surprised.
“Boss, do you think I meet the requirements?” Qian Ruoxi sat up straight; even though she had worked there before, she was still a bit nervous about the re-interview.
Qian Ruoxi’s qualifications naturally met the standards, after all, she was the one Lin Gantang had personally promoted to manager in the past. Lin Gantang was only a bit puzzled, “Where have you been working recently? Did you resign?”
“I was working in another bookstore, but it was too far from my residence so I quit a few days ago. Then I heard Cat Bookstore was hiring a manager and thought I’d give it a try,” Qian Ruoxi truthfully explained.
Qian Ruoxi desired the position for simple reasons: first, having worked there before, she was familiar with the job and wouldn’t need to adapt anew.
Second, the salary was very attractive, the boss was nice, and the working atmosphere was relaxed.
Lin Gantang had witnessed Qian Ruoxi’s work capabilities and sense of responsibility firsthand. The only shortcoming was her lack of extensive industry experience, but Lin Gantang felt that was completely irrelevant. Willing to come back, Lin Gantang decided on the spot to hire her.
Gradually, just as Wen Yanqing had predicted, Lin Gantang began to find more free time, and the time spent with him significantly increased.
Wen Yanqing was very satisfied with this.
Free from trivial matters, Lin Gantang concentrated on learning to swim, determined to master it by this summer.
That Saturday, after finishing her swimming practice and changing clothes, Lin Gantang received a call from Wen Rendong.
“Gantang, are you free tonight?”
“I don’t have plans tonight, Dad, what’s up?”
Wen Rendong coughed and said, “Well, the thing is, Dad’s old friend’s cat had kittens, and he doesn’t want to keep them, so he sent two over. Do you want to come home and take a look? If you like them, you could keep them at the bookstore?”
“Kittens? If they’re too young, it might not be convenient to keep them at the bookstore,” said Lin Gantang.
“They’re two months old, healthy.” Wen Rendong tried to persuade her, “Young people these days all like little cats, right? They say they’re cute and all that. They’ll definitely be popular.”
Lin Gantang thought for a moment, “Then, I’ll go have a look.”
Wen Rendong asked, “What about Yanqing…”
“If he’s free, we’ll go together.”
Wen Rendong happily agreed, joy evident in his voice.
Lin Gantang put down the phone and couldn’t help but smile.
Perhaps Wen Rendong was more eager to see Wen Yanqing, but given Wen Yanqing’s cold attitude toward him, Rendong tried contacting her instead. Otherwise, they could have just had someone deliver the cats, no need to ask her to come over.
Seeing Wen Yanqing coming out of the shower room, Lin Gantang asked, “Are you busy later? I need to make a trip to your dad’s place.”
Wen Yanqing, roughly toweling his hair, replied, “Not busy, let’s go together.”
In front of the Wen family’s gate.
The car stopped.
Wen Rendong, who had hung up the phone, said to the driver, “Xiao Li, you take her back.”
