"I'm very sorry to have made you come all the way here."
Lin Yi said apologetically to the manager.
"I said, you... aren't you just nearby? Was it necessary to make me come all the way here?"
The manager said with a slightly displeased tone.
"I'm very sorry..."
Lin Yi bowed again to apologize. He said, "Actually... I just lied to you, manager."
"Huh?" The manager was stunned for a moment, his head a little unable to process it.
"There was no car accident... and there was no disagreement with the car owner."
Lin Yi honestly confessed, "I just happened to meet a girl I liked, so..."
"How could you do this?" The manager frowned and said unhappily, "Even if you like her no matter how much, you can't flirt with her during work hours, right? You can leave her phone number first, and then find her after get off work."
"If you do this, it will leave a very bad impression on our store to the customers... Just now, a customer came to complain, saying that you didn't deliver the meal on time. It made Sato have to go out to deliver the meal again before he could even catch his breath."
"Before you do anything, you have to consider others, right? Don't always trouble others."
"..."
Facing the manager's lecture, Lin Yi humbly accepted it.
"Manager."
Lin Yi interrupted him, seeing that he was getting carried away.
"Huh? What's wrong?" the manager replied.
Lin Yi handed over the keys with an apologetic look: "I'm sorry for the trouble... Also, I have a request to make."
"What request?" the manager asked, taking the keys.
"Indeed, I'm not really suited for this job," Lin Yi said, bowing again. "So, thank you for your care."
The manager was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened with displeasure.
Applying for the job yesterday, resigning today, and wanting to leave after messing up the order?
Anyone would feel resentment if this happened to them, right?
"Actually... I'm a second-generation rich kid."
Lin Yi looked up at the angry-faced manager and said apologetically, "I originally wanted to be independent and not rely on my parents anymore."
"To earn a living with my own hands and prove myself."
"But... I really can't do it after all... I'm not the kind of person who can endure hardship."
"I really can't persevere with this kind of physical work."
"I'm really sorry for the trouble I've caused."
"I feel very bad about damaging the store's reputation."
"So..."
Lin Yi took out a thick envelope from his pocket and handed it to the manager: "This is my compensation to the store... Please don't refuse!"
Looking at the thick envelope in front of him, the manager was dumbfounded and hadn't yet figured out what was going on.
What, what, what?
So you're a second-generation rich kid?
You came to work at my store just to experience life?
And then you found life too hard and didn't want to experience it anymore?
You really are something else.
The manager felt quite helpless towards the young man in front of him.
However, since the person had already admitted his mistake and apologized, and sincerely offered money to compensate for his losses, he couldn't say anything.
His personality isn't great, but his character is pretty good.
"So that's how it is... I was wondering why your temperament was different from others," the manager said. "As for compensation... that's not necessary. It didn't cause too much damage."
"Everyone has their own life... If you can't handle this kind of life, then go back and live your own life properly. Don't make the wrong choices because of temporary frustration."
"Life is very long... It's hard to go on if you don't learn to be patient."
The manager not only generously forgave Lin Yi but also refused Lin Yi's compensation with principle.
For him, who had rich life experience, money was external, and it was a great comfort to see a young man turn back from his mistakes.
Lin Yi noticed Xiaolan leaving her seat from the corner of his eye. He knew he couldn't delay any longer, or something would happen.
So he decisively stuffed the money into the manager's hand and said sincerely, "Manager! I caused losses to you, I'd feel bad if I didn't compensate!"
"Besides, Sato helped me deliver the order that should have been mine and apologized to the customer for my dereliction of duty... I really have no face to see him again, and his compensation is also in here."
Without waiting for the manager to say anything, Lin Yi pushed the manager to the delivery vehicle and said, "Manager, you don't need to refuse anymore. This little bit of money is nothing to me, but it's different for Sato."
Seeing Lin Yi so insistent, the manager didn't refuse. He was very touched. This second-generation rich kid was quite good after all.
"Then I'll say thank you on behalf of Sato... Come visit the store when you're free."
"I definitely will when I have time."
Lin Yi nodded and watched the manager drive the delivery scooter away.
Just then, Xiaolan came out of the store and saw the "black-hearted" manager driving away.
"Hey, hey! Wait a minute!"
Xiaolan thought, how could she let him run away like that?
After shouting twice, the other party still showed no signs of stopping. Xiaolan was about to run after him to get justice for Lin Yi.
However, she was stopped by Lin Yi.
Lin Yi stopped her and persuaded, "Xiaolan, forget it, forget it."
