A foreign city, dear you

"Sister is here?" The customer left and Ye Lu saw Ye Lian.

Ye Lian nodded, glanced at the bread in the bakery cabinet, and asked, "How are you today?"

"Same as usual, almost every day." Ye Lu opened the bakery cabinet and put the bread from one plate into another.

"Have you seen the finance?" Ye Lian asked.

"No, I didn't pay attention. Are you here to get money again?"

"What if I don't get paid? I need to pay you wages."

"It may be difficult to get it. The owner of the delicatessen went to the finance department this morning and it seems he hasn't gotten the money yet." Ye Lu took out an empty plate and walked into the operation room.

Ye Lian frowned.

I have been working in Yuehe Shopping Mall for more than a year, and the monthly payment has been relatively smooth, but the last payment at the end of the year has been delayed again and again.

Ye Lian was not so anxious at first, thinking that the mall might not be able to turn around at once, and it would be a few days later.

But this time, it was delayed from the middle to the end of the year.

The wages of several bakery employees have also been delayed for a few days.

Ye Lian doesn't like to delay employees' wages. She has repeatedly promised that if the payment is not paid on the 25th, she will pay the wages no matter what.

During this period, Ye Lian called the finance department several times, but the finance department did not make an accurate promise and sounded very impatient.

So Ye Lian stopped calling and went directly to the mall to find the accountant.

In the first three times, one time I waited until very late and the finance department didn't call. The other two times, the finance department always said that there was no money and it was useless to contact him.

This time, the finance department will probably say that there is no money and it is useless to contact him.

Ye Lian has a headache. She wonders what happened to this mall? Why don't you pay?

Ye Lian came to the deli next door, where the proprietress was cleaning the countertops.

Ye Lian exchanged pleasantries with the deli proprietress, and then asked her, "Have you paid for the goods yet?"

"No, I asked this morning and was told no. I'm so annoyed." The deli proprietress also sighed in annoyance.

The deli didn't hire any workers. It was just the proprietress and her husband who ran the deli, so they worked hard day and night.

"Oh, I don't know what's wrong. Why don't you pay us this month?" Ye Lian couldn't figure it out.

"I heard that the owner of the mall is going to open a new store and has misappropriated all the money for the goods here." The wife of the delicatessen shop looked around and whispered.

"How can that be done? Our counters are dead?" Ye Lian was surprised.

"He doesn't care about you, just support yourself." The deli proprietress curled her lips.

"Didn't the other counters receive payment?" Ye Lian thought that the deli proprietress was in the store every day and she should have a better understanding of the mall's situation.

"I heard that there are a few people who have a good relationship with their bosses or finances and have received payment. As we do business honestly and have nothing to do with each other, we are always deceived." The wife of the delicatessen shop owner was a little helpless. After she finished cleaning, she went to do other things.

After hearing what the deli proprietress said, Ye Lian felt even more worried.

If it's like what the deli proprietress said, then the settlement will be very slim.

Employees can use their own money to advance their salaries, but at the end of the month Ye Lian also has to pay her suppliers, so the payment won't be a small amount.

Flour, eggs, and oil alone cost a lot of money, and the other miscellaneous items added up also cost a lot.

No, you have to pay for the goods despite all the hard work.

Ye Lian came to the finance room. The door of the finance room was closed, but the payment window was open. Through the window, you could see the finance head with some white hair.

Finance also saw Ye Lian, but immediately pretended not to see it.

Ye Lian knew that Finance didn't like to see her.

Being disliked and rejected by others is a very bad feeling.

But what’s wrong with me taking my money? Why should I worry so much?

Ye Lian came to the window, said hello to Finance, and asked: "Finance, can you pay me for the goods today? I've been here four times."

"I told you that if you don't have money, it's useless to contact me." The finance department still said the same thing.

Rascal.

But Ye Lian didn't want to give up today.

Although she is a bit timid, although she is not good at dealing with others.

In front of outsiders, Ye Lian was never a eloquent person. She had to think through her words clearly in her heart first.

"Are you kidding me about finance? The shopping mall is open every day, and the daily turnover is displayed there. Isn't this money?"

For Ye Lian, this was a bold statement.

She was a little worried that her words would offend the finances.

As expected, the finance officer raised his head and glanced at Ye Lian contemptuously, a little sullen, but he was too lazy to talk to Ye Lian.

"Finance, I have to wait for the money to pay the workers, and I have to pay the suppliers. I have been delayed for a few days, and if I don't pay the wages, several workers will go on strike, and then the bakery will be closed. I can’t open anymore. I don’t think the mall wants to see me like this, right?”

"Finance, you have to talk. You have to give me an answer. Otherwise, I will look for you every day and you will be annoyed."

"finance……"

……

Ye Lian begged one sentence after another.

The finance manager finally became impatient: "It's no use begging me. I ask you to beg the boss. Funds are tight now. I can only give you money if the boss speaks."

"But the boss is not here."

"He'll come later."

Ye Lian got two pieces of information from Finance's words: Finance is not without money; the boss will come to the mall.

She felt there was no need for Finance to lie to her, because he could have rejected her directly.

Okay, then wait for the boss.

The boss's office is separated from the financial room by a small corridor.

Ye Lian was standing in the corridor waiting.

What she is worried about now is, when will the boss come? Is there any use in asking the boss? When the boss comes, will the finance department leave again?

Time passes so slowly while waiting for someone.

Ye Lian's phone rang.

He is the baker at Ye Lian's bakery.

Ye Lian answered the phone, with a more sad look on her face.

The baker said that he would take a month's leave to go back to his hometown. He gave several reasons why he had to go back to his hometown.

Ye Lian was in trouble and had an ideological discussion with the baker. The baker finally said that he would have to take at least ten days off to go back to his hometown for the Spring Festival.

It seemed that this was the baker's biggest concession, so Ye Lian had no choice but to agree.

The baker was still dissatisfied on the phone, complaining roundly about Ye Lian's unpaid wages.

Ye Lian had no choice but to reassure him again, saying that she was trying to find a way to settle the payment with her boss, and would pay her wages as soon as the payment was made. Even if the payment was not made until the 25th, she would definitely pay her wages.

Alas, sorrow.

The money that needs to come in cannot come in, and the money that needs to go out must go out. If it is two days late, you will still be blamed.

The baker also came to pose a problem.

He returns to his hometown during the Spring Festival, what will happen to the bakery?

Shopping malls are open during the Spring Festival even on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and naturally all the counters are also open.

It’s the Chinese New Year, so it’s hard to recruit people at short notice.

At that time, the only option is to come to the bakery and replace Ye Lu on the day shift to sell bread, and let Ye Lu take the apprentice to work on the night shift to make bread.

Yelu also learned how to make bread, but the appearance and taste were a bit different.

However, it is still possible to buy one. Fortunately, there are not many people shopping in shopping malls to buy bread during the Spring Festival.
