Chapter 12: Our very own boss

“Mr. Chen Jianyu, I sincerely apologize for my son’s actions.”

“Dad!”

“Shut up! You have caused enough trouble.”

Sun Yifeng turned towards Chen Jianyu.

“Mr. Chen, don’t worry. I will properly look into this matter. Be assured that I will not spare him even if he is my son.” He buttered him.

“You should not apologize or assure me. It’s the owner and her employee. They are the ones who have suffered.” He said coldly.

“Mr. Sun, your son, and his lackeys need a serious talk about respecting a girl’s honor. As a father and, more importantly, as a police officer, isn’t this your duty to teach him those basic morals?” Mother Chen said.

“How would the society be at ease knowing that the son of the chief of the police himself is openly committing such crimes and also threatening to use your name to get away with it?” Mother Chen didn’t hold back.

Nana saw the two customers standing up for her and felt grateful towards them.

“Yes, yes, Madam Chen. It’s also my mistake. I must have lacked somewhere in his upbringing. How can he do those shameless things!” He sweated.

He turned towards Sun Dong. “You! What are you still standing for? Apologize to them!”

Sun Dong gritted his teeth. He was humiliated. But he couldn’t say anything. He finally understood that the man who punched him and that lady must be someone important. If his father can’t help him, then he has no choice.

He grudgingly looked at Xiaoli and said, “I am sorry. I shouldn’t have forced you like that. Please forgive me.”

“And what about the owner?” Mother Chen said.

He was beyond mad now, but he reigned in his temper. “I am sorry for raising my hand against you. I Please forgive me.”

In his mind, he was spitting fire. I will never forget this. Just you wait!

Sun Yifeng said, “Miss owner and miss…” He looked at the name card, “He Xiaoli. I will again ask for your forgiveness for all the trouble my son has caused. But don’t worry. I will make sure he learns his lesson.” He tried to give an assuring smile.

Nana stared at him a few seconds and said, “I really hope he learns his lesson. We’ll let him go for now” She looked at Xiaoli, and Xiaoli nodded, “but he is not welcomed to Natsukashi anymore.I hope you understand that.”

“Sure sure, miss. He won’t bother you again. On my word.” He quickly said.

The whole uproar finally came to an end. Sun Yifeng dragged his son and his lackeys away. Nana also apologized to the other customers for the inconvenience.

She looked at Chen Jianyu and Mother Chen with a smile. She bowed and said, “Mam, sir, thank you so much for standing up for us. We are truly grateful for your help.” She said with utmost sincerity. He Xiaoli also followed Nana.

Mother Chen smiled. “There is no need for any thanks, child. It was the right thing to do. In fact, I am impressed. It is rare for any owner to take it’s employee’s side. Almost always, the owner forces the employee to apologize whether or not it was his/her fault. He doesn’t want to offend their customers, especially if the other person has status or connections. But you didn’t do that. It all the more made us stand up for you.”

Nana smiled, “She is a girl, much less my employee. Any owner must take care of them. If we can’t assure them a safe workplace, then we don’t have any right to do any business.”

He Xiaoli was moved to tears. She even started to develop a little crush on her. Boss! You are the only one for me. I swear I will work hard every day and make you proud of me.

Mother Chen smiled even wider. She was now genuinely impressed with this girl.

Chen Jianyu was also surprised. At first, he thought she would crumble under pressure when she came to know that he is the chief’s son, but she didn’t. She still opposed him. And now hearing her thoughts on the matter, he understood his mother was right.

She is a very kind person.

“Oh, that’s right! I actually wanted to meet you. I wanted to ask you something.” Mother Chen suddenly exclaimed. “Can I meet the chef? I want to thank him for such a delicious meal personally. It truly evoked so many memories within me, just like your restaurant’s name.”

Nana stood there, awkwardly. She always becomes a little nervous when somebody praises her.

He Xiaoli giggled. “Mam, you have already met the chef. She is standing in front of you. Our very own boss.”
