Faced with his wife’s analysis, Yue Shan wanted to find some evidence to refute it, but after thinking about it, he couldn’t find any loopholes, and the scene fell into a brief silence.

Yue Feng just watched the couple discuss it calmly without saying a word.

Letting the elder brother and sister-in-law participate in the management of the restaurant is not what Chen Hong said about helping her brother-in-law to build his business, but actually helping the elder brother and sister-in-law to climb up the ladder.

To put it bluntly, we are really short of people. My wife Wang Xiaona is still idle at home. She is only a junior high school student and can definitely help with the accounts and operations in the store.

Even if there is no suitable candidate temporarily, Master Niu will definitely be able to solve the problem of personnel selection at the front desk of the store. As a partner, Yue Feng can conduct random checks on the business situation from time to time to ensure that there are no mistakes.

When facing one’s blood relatives, one can be kind, but Yue Feng also knows that there should be necessary limits to this.

Respecting the fate of others and letting go of the desire to help others is a great wisdom in life. Yue Feng, who has lived two lives, has a deep understanding of this.

After about 30 seconds of stalemate, Chen Hong became anxious when she saw that her husband still refused to give in: “Yue Shan, are you out of your mind? Xiao Feng is giving us a chance, can’t you see it?

Do you know that we are now thorns in the eyes of some leaders in the unit?

That is to say, the policy does not allow us to be taken down directly, otherwise we would have been sent back home long ago!

You must be addicted to staying in your small office all day and being bullied by dozens of eyes, right?

Xiaofeng, your sister-in-law has made her position clear to you on this matter. I will submit a report on suspension with pay tomorrow. You tell me what your brother and I need to do, and we will be there to carry out the execution immediately!

As for salary and dividends, you have the final say. We will take whatever you give us. That’s settled.

If my parents at home don’t understand, I will go back and mobilize them!!!”

To be honest, Yue Feng didn’t have a good impression of his sister-in-law at first. He always felt that this woman had the materialism and utilitarianism of a city dweller.

But at this moment, Yue Feng discovered from the performance of the two people that his elder sister-in-law Chen Hong’s ability to make decisions when faced with opportunities is much stronger than that of his elder brother Yue Shan.

Yue Feng waved his hand: “Don’t rush to make a decision. In the next few days, I will look for a suitable house and so on. It will take a while for the individual business license to be issued! It will be in time to submit a report by then!”

“That’s fine. Your brother has given it a lot of thought and doesn’t understand the opportunities here, but I can understand your thoughts and actions! I’ll discuss this matter with your brother later!”
Well, you haven’t had dinner yet, have you? I’ll make you some side dishes to eat, and you can go back in time after dinner!”

After giving a few brief instructions, Chen Hong turned around and went to the kitchen at the back to work.

Only the two brothers Yue Feng and Yue Shan were left in the room. Yue Shan scratched his head, took out a dustpan and broom from behind the door, swept up the broken pieces of dishes on the floor, and then re-cleared the dining table.

Since being promoted by Zou Zhaoguo, the family’s living conditions have improved significantly. Apart from other things, the benefits provided by the company have made life much easier.

There were hairtail fish hanging on the kitchen window, as well as eggs and meat distributed as office welfare, and there was no shortage of winter vegetables. Chen Hong no longer had to worry about money when preparing dinner for her brother-in-law.

Given the limited time and lack of preparation, it is definitely unrealistic to cook any big dishes, but it is definitely no problem to cook a few home-cooked dishes.

Take out some of the meat buried in the jar of lard, stew it with cabbage and tofu, and it will be considered a meat dish.

Fry some peanuts, fry a plate of hairtail, and finally scramble an egg with chopped green onions.

These four simple dishes are definitely a thoughtful treat for my brother-in-law who came to our house.

While the kitchen was busy, Yue Shan poured his brother a glass of water from the thermos.

“Drink some water, Xiaofeng!”

Yue Feng took it and looked at his elder brother: “Brother, do you have any other concerns?”

Yue Shan was a little hesitant at first, but facing his brother’s gaze, he said, “Although I am being targeted now, I am also the deputy director of the dispatch room. As long as I don’t make any mistakes, no one can do anything to me!
Since I started working, I’ve been used to seeing people look down on me at the bottom of the social ladder. I’ve just been living like a human being for a few days, and they asked me to submit a report to resign. I…”

“I can’t bear to do that!!”

Yue Feng followed his elder brother’s words and completed what he was about to say.

Yue Shan gritted his teeth and said, “Yes!”

Seeing his elder brother’s performance, Yue Feng felt both understanding and distressed.

Having grown up in the lowest class of society, he finally managed to leave the countryside and move to the city to become a formal worker, and then took the opportunity to become a small leader.

This change in mentality and difference in identity will indeed cause inevitable fluctuations in people’s hearts.

But even Yue Feng knows that relying on power has a price. When you get promoted with the help of power, you will feel very proud, but when you lose the power, you will become very passive.

“There are some things I can’t say outside, but I can tell you!

You think you have a stable job in the coal mine, but actually, you can’t keep this job for life!

Society is developing, and systems and policies are constantly adjusting.

Let me give you an example. For example, for individual businesses, there are already supply and marketing cooperatives and state-owned hotels. Why do we need to open up this?

If the salespersons or chefs of state-owned restaurants all think like you, when our own restaurants are opened, they will not have institutional protection and will not be able to fully participate in commercial competition. Will they still be able to survive?”

Hearing this, Yue Shan became a little anxious: “How can a coal mine be the same as a restaurant? This is a national resource!”

“There will be times when coal mines are exhausted and policies are adjusted. When production drops, there will be no need for so many people. What will happen to these people?
Right now, you and your sister-in-law are being stared at by dozens of eyes.

You used Mr. Zou’s power to rise to the top, squeezing out other people’s opportunities for promotion. Now that Mr. Zou is in trouble and has no backing, how could he not want to pull you down?

To be honest, the game I send to the canteen is in short supply, so everyone has to give it some face!
Even if Master Niu no longer works in the second canteen, I can still make friends with the new canteen chef!
Even just mentioning your relationship with your relatives can improve the situation where you and your sister-in-law are being bullied.

Why wouldn’t I do that?

Is it because I need to hire you guys because I’m short of people for my restaurant? My wife Xiaona only has a junior high school degree, wouldn’t I feel more comfortable with her being a front desk manager?
If you must be the small leader in the dispatch room, I respect your choice. Just ignore what I said about the hotel. I will ask someone to give you a heads up and you can continue to do your job!
We are brothers, and I have done what I should say and do, and I have lived up to the kindness of being brothers.”

Having said that, Yue Feng has done his best.

After hearing this, Yue Shan’s face changed again and again, but he still couldn’t make up his mind.

Seeing his elder brother’s vision and courage, Yue Feng was too lazy to persuade him anymore.

After his sister-in-law had prepared the meal and put the hot food on the table, Yue Feng simply took a bite to fill his stomach, said goodbye, and rode back home.

After Yue Feng left, Chen Hong and Yue Shan closed the door and started discussing again in the house.

Yue Shan: “Xiao Feng said that he could find someone to talk to so that we can continue to work in our current positions at the company! I don’t think there is any guarantee or bottom line for self-employed private restaurants!”

Chen Hong listened and said: “Didn’t Xiaofeng say that we can take a leave of absence first, and then regret it when we find that we have done something inappropriate!

Have you lost your sense of self after being an official for a few days? Without Mr. Zou to support you, are you fit to be an official?”

“If you regret it, can you still go back to your original unit and be a leader? By then, everyone will be so busy, there won’t be any room for us! I don’t agree to take the risk!”

“Okay, good! No matter how I discuss it with you, it won’t make any sense. You must be the official, right?
Ever since you became this crappy director, your temper has gotten worse. I try to talk to you nicely, but you don’t listen!

If you don’t listen to me this time, let’s get divorced!

Do you know what you are in my eyes now?
You can’t prop up a wall with mud!!!”

After saying this, Chen Hong didn’t even pick up the table. She turned and went into the bedroom and slammed the door heavily.

Now, Yue Shan was a little panicked.

He understood Chen Hong’s temper. After all, they were a couple who slept in the same bed. No matter how many dissatisfactions and complaints they had, or how many fights they had, Chen Hong had never mentioned the word divorce.

Now that it has been brought up because of work, if I insist on my own opinion, Chen Hong may really be able to do it.

……

In the next few days, Yue Feng’s life rhythm changed significantly.

He definitely doesn’t have the time to lead the hunting team into the mountains for hunting. To open a restaurant, he needs to find a suitable house, so Yue Feng decided to do it himself.

Strictly speaking, this job could actually be done by Master Niu, but Yue Feng has money now, and he wants to take the absolute initiative in the original shares of the joint venture store.

Based on this selfish consideration, Yue Feng rode his motorcycle and strolled around the streets of Fengcheng’s main urban area in the next few days.

In this era, especially in the Northeast, most of the houses in urban areas are public housing. This is because the establishment of resource-based cities was originally planned based on different resources such as coal mines or forest farms. There are very few indigenous residents, and some new cities even have no indigenous residents at all.

When Yue Feng was looking for a suitable house, he took several factors into consideration.

One is the current store location.

For example, the streets in the city center are given priority. There are only so many people in Fengcheng, and new things like private hotels must not be too remote.

The second is the potential for subsequent development.

For example, subsequent urban development will continue to expand the urban circle. If you want to open an old store, try to expand in the direction of mainstream development, otherwise it will become an old city in the future and will be greatly depreciated.

The third is that if I can buy it, I will never consider renting it.

At this juncture, it doesn’t cost much to buy a brick house with a yard. If you buy it directly, no matter how the times develop and change in the future, this property will enjoy the increase in the dividends of the times.

Yue Feng is not short of money now, so the investment made at this time will not result in loss at any time.

Based on the above considerations, Yue Feng wandered around and asked around, and finally came across a suitable house. (End of this chapter)
