"That Engineering Department Director position Kai Xuan has, so many people are envious of it!"
"Your father and I are both experienced, we definitely won't lie to you!"
"Yes, Feiyan!"
Zhao Tianhai chimed in, "Feiyan, you know, your mother and I are both retired now! We live comfortably on our factory pensions, enjoying our retirement. When Kai Xuan's position becomes available after he retires..."
"Kai Xuan's resignation has already been approved!"
Jiang Aiying's sentence was cut off by Zhao Feiyan: "Kai Xuan has already successfully left his post!"
"You..." Jiang Aiying was so angry she almost spat blood on the spot.
Zhao Tianhai then earnestly advised, "Even if he's already resigned, he can still go back!" "After all, Kai Xuan still has his Senior Engineer qualifications, and the factory will surely give him that respect!"
Zhao Tianhai and his wife were anxious, but seeing Liu Kai Xuan and his wife appear indifferent. Jiang Aiying tearfully pleaded, "Kai Xuan, if you don't think for yourself, you have to think for your family!" "Xiao Hu and Xiao Xue are still in school and their expenses are at their peak!" "Now, you alone have to bear the responsibility of supporting the whole family. The income from a business is extremely unstable!" "If you make money, it's good, but if you don't, the whole family will have to drink the northwest wind!" "If you absolutely must start a business, let Feiyan run a small shop, and you continue to work at the factory!" 138 Read Network "Whether the business makes money in the future or not, the whole family will be able to live without worry!"
Liu Kai Xuan nodded and smiled, "Dad, Mom, please don't worry!" "I've been an engineer at the factory for so many years, I still have some savings!" "Since you both know that doing business is difficult, then Feiyan and I can't be half-hearted about it!" "Now, we must have the courage to burn our bridges to make this business succeed!"
Jiang Aiying was extremely anxious at this moment. However, after much deliberation in her heart, Jiang Aiying ultimately did not argue with Liu Kai Xuan anymore. Liu Kai Xuan said he had saved some money during his years at the factory. Jiang Aiying was certain this was true, as Liu Kai Xuan's salary was already outrageously high. It would have been enough to eat out every day, and Zhao Feiyan also had the habit of being thrifty.
"Then what kind of business are you two planning to start? Have you thought about it?" Jiang Aiying, after coming to terms with it, decided to help the young couple as much as she could with what was within her ability.
Zhao Feiyan said excitedly, "We plan to open a restaurant!"
Jiang Aiying again voiced her concern, "Opening a restaurant requires culinary skills. Feiyan, can you do it?"
"It's just that, we're discussing this very issue right now!"
Following this, Jiang Aiying and her husband joined the discussion. In fact, the purpose of Zhao Tianhai and his wife's visit was purely to act as mediators. They wanted to persuade Liu Kai Xuan to give up his unrealistic ideas and to settle for a stable job to support his family. But now that Liu Kai Xuan had resigned, and his resignation was a done deal, they could only help him deliberate on business matters. Zhao Tianhai and his wife offered their opinions, and Zhao Tianhai promised to help inquire about some skilled workers to bolster the restaurant's reputation. After the family chatted for over two hours, Zhao Tianhai and his wife left the courtyard.
After Zhao Tianhai and his wife left, Zhao Feiyan immediately went to Shazhu's house. Qin Jingru was washing clothes at home when she saw Zhao Feiyan arrive and busily invited her to sit down. Despite Qin Jingru's sarcastic remarks behind closed doors, her attitude towards Liu Kai Xuan and his wife had always been kind over the years. At least, on the surface, the relationship between the two families was maintained very harmoniously. Now that Liu Kai Xuan had "lost" his job, Qin Jingru felt that the gap in status between her and Zhao Feiyan had disappeared.
"Feiyan, why are you here? Is there something you need?" Qin Jingru brought a chair for Zhao Feiyan and asked with a smile.
Zhao Feiyan got straight to the point, "Jingru, Kai Xuan and I have discussed it, and we plan to invest in opening a restaurant ourselves!" "I heard Shazhu has good culinary skills, so I wanted to ask if Shazhu could be the head chef at our restaurant?"
"Ah, this... I'm afraid it's not very suitable!" Qin Jingru shook her head like a rattle drum, "Feiyan, it's not that we don't want to help you! Shazhu hasn't made much money over the years! It's only recently that he's stabilized his job. If his work changes again now, our family's life will be difficult!" "How about this, Feiyan, I'll have Shazhu ask for you. He has several apprentices, maybe someone would be willing to work there part-time for you?"
"Part-time?" Zhao Feiyan frowned.
Qin Jingru casually replied, "Working at your small restaurant is just part-time, isn't it? When there's work, you come in, and when there's no work, you don't have to come, right?"
"What are you thinking?" Zhao Feiyan shook her head and smiled, "Working at our restaurant is a formal job, not for you to do part-time!" "Discuss it with Shazhu when you get back. Whatever salary he earns at the canteen, our restaurant will offer double!" "The salary will be settled monthly, and you'll earn money every day, no empty days!"
"What, double the salary? You're not kidding me, are you?" Qin Jingru could hardly believe her ears at this moment.
"You heard correctly!" Zhao Feiyan said solemnly, "I, Zhao Feiyan, always stand by my word!" "What I say is what I mean, and I will never go back on it!" "However, you also need to tell Shazhu that if he wants to earn our money, he must obey our arrangements!" "During work, he cannot be distracted!" "Otherwise, if something unpleasant happens, it won't be good for any of us!"
"Hey!" Qin Jingru waved her hand and smiled, "Feiyan, you can rest assured. We are all family, how could we mess around with you?" "Don't worry, Shazhu will work hard for you after he takes your money!" "By the way, Feiyan, since you're opening a restaurant, you'll definitely need not only a chef, but also waiters and general helpers, right?" "When the time comes, can I also work as a waiter at the restaurant?"
