When Sha Zhu left the Feiyan Restaurant, he had been arrogant and proud. Now, after switching jobs, not only had his salary not increased, it had actually decreased significantly compared to before. If the other neighbors in the courtyard found out about this, they would surely laugh their heads off! Qin Jingru only wanted to find a better-paying job for Sha Zhu and could not accept a lower salary. This made it very difficult for Sha Zhu to find a satisfactory job now. Qin Jingru's unreasonable tantrums had pushed Sha Zhu's mental state to the brink of collapse.
Helpless, Sha Zhu had no choice but to grit his teeth and go to Liu Kai Xuan's house again. Late at night, when Liu Kai Xuan and Zhao Feiyan were both home, Sha Zhu shamelessly showed up. "Boss's wife, I'll come back to work at the restaurant tomorrow!" Sha Zhu said, forcing himself to speak. "The previous fuss about resigning was all Qin Jingru's idea. I've already criticized her severely! From tomorrow onwards, I promise to work diligently and create benefits for the restaurant!"
Zhao Feiyan replied with a chuckle, "Sha Zhu, actually, I think your cooking skills are quite good! In this era, it's very easy for people with skills to make a living! Our restaurant is already fully staffed, so you can try other restaurants!" "Boss's wife, please give me another chance!" Sha Zhu replied with a crestfallen face. "The one who resigned before really wasn't me, it was Qin Jingru! She threatened to divorce me if I didn't quit. I really had no choice at the time! But now..." "Now that I let you come back to work, won't Qin Jingru still divorce you?" Zhao Feiyan sighed helplessly, "Sha Zhu, there are many job opportunities now! We don't need to get hung up on this small issue. You should go back early!"
Unable to persuade Zhao Feiyan, Sha Zhu turned his gaze to Liu Kai Xuan. "Director Liu, you know we've been neighbors for over ten years! I've lowered my head and apologized, please give me another chance?" Liu Kai Xuan shook his head and sighed, "I'm really sorry, Sha Zhu, I truly can't help you with this matter today! Feiyan has always managed the restaurant, and she said they don't need people now! Alas..." Sha Zhu could only sigh helplessly and turn to go home.
In this era, there were quite a lot of people with real skills. The key was that people with skills were generally very busy and not always available. Talents needed to be "reserved" in advance and then managed and deployed uniformly. After Sha Zhu left the Feiyan Restaurant, Jiang Han Tao could have supported the restaurant's operations. However, Zhao Feiyan subsequently recruited two more experienced head chefs. These people were the talents she was reserving for her new outlet. Now, if Zhao Feiyan wanted to, she could arrange a well-paying job for Sha Zhu.
However, Zhao Feiyan was unwilling to do so because Sha Zhu's work attitude was too negative. He was disobedient to company assignments and always sought special treatment. Zhao Feiyan paid him a generous salary, yet he constantly caused trouble for her, which was simply unbearable. As she watched Sha Zhu walk away, Zhao Feiyan said, "Kai Xuan, in the future, if anyone in our courtyard asks for a job, please arrange it for them! I really can't stand the people in the Siheyuan, so please don't let them cause me trouble!" "Hahaha..." Liu Kai Xuan nodded and smiled, "No problem, no problem. In the future, if such things happen, just have them come to me directly, and I'll be responsible for arranging them uniformly!"
"Alright, are you really going to be the Iron Head King?" Zhao Feiyan glared at Liu Kai Xuan, "I'll be working at the new outlet for a while! From now on, you'll have to take good care of Xue'er and Xiao Hu. You can't let these two little ones neglect their studies!" Liu Kai Xuan said solemnly, "Alright Feiyan, you can rest assured! Xiao Yue is already grown up, and I'm very confident with her taking care of her two younger cousins!" Zhao Feiyan asked with some confusion, "Xiao Yue still has to go to school herself! Are you not afraid that having her look after the two little ones will affect her own studies?" Liu Kai Xuan replied with a chuckle, "Alright Feiyan, you can just rest assured! Oh, and I have something else to tell you! My old partner, Li Ya, also wants to come work for my company recently! I feel that working with her is quite enjoyable, so I plan to keep her by my side as a secretary! However, I still think it's necessary to discuss this with you!"
"Discuss with me?" Zhao Feiyan asked, "What's there to discuss when you've already decided?" "Hahaha..." Liu Kai Xuan shook his head and smiled, "I mean, if you disagree, then this matter is off. After all, Li Ya is a woman! If I keep her by my side like this, it's bound to cause a lot of gossip! If I assign her to work in another position, it would be considered treating her as a friend!" "Stop, stop!" Zhao Feiyan quickly shook her head and waved her hands, "Kai Xuan, please don't say that! The way you're saying it makes me feel guilty! I know Li Ya quite well. Before you and I got married, she also liked you for a while. However, after we officially got married, your relationship became pure. Moreover, she's also a married woman now, so I don't doubt your relationship! If you find it convenient to work with her, then let her continue as your secretary!"
At this point, Zhao Feiyan specifically emphasized, "In the future, if there are such matters, you don't need to discuss them with me, make your own decision! We've been married for so many years, and Xiao Hu and Xue'er are so old, who else can I trust if not you?" "Hahaha..." Liu Kai Xuan replied with a chuckle, "Alright, it's true that I was too petty about this. I need to reflect deeply!" "Oh, come on, why are you getting more and more pedantic now?"
... Time flew by, and another three months passed in the blink of an eye. In these three months, Liu Kai Xuan's trading company's profitability had surged exponentially. In just a few months, the company's assets rapidly swelled to over 600,000 yuan, and the number of employees under its umbrella grew to more than 30.
