Chapter 217 Xiao Dang Looking for a Job
Cai Wenqing felt that what Li Lin said made sense. Xiao Dang might have really been fired, but where did she get the confidence from? She was clearly looking for a job, but she still looked like she had earned something by including her. She was a complete copy of Qin Huairu, green and tea.
The children of the Jia family are considered useless, with Banggeng looking like that and Xiaodang looking like this. Huaihua is relatively better.
Think about how much effort Qin Huairu put into these children. They were not lacking in nutrition, but they lacked in education.
Xiaodang still regretted leaving the He family. He should have said that he was fired instead of resigning. Now he is being rejected on the grounds of good old-fashioned treatment. How can he explain this?
"How is it? Did the He family agree?"
Qin Huairu looked at Xiaodang hopefully. If the He family agreed, she would finally be relieved. Otherwise, there would be one more mouth to feed and the pressure from the past would come back again.
Why is her life so hard? She had finally raised the children and thought that at least they wouldn't have to worry about food and drink anymore, but who knew it would still be like this.
After marrying into the city for so many years, she has not enjoyed any happiness, but has suffered a lifetime of pain. Fortunately, she still has a stick, and I hope it has not been cut off, otherwise Qin Huairu really doesn’t know what to do.
"No, they even advised me to work hard at the school, saying that the job there is good and I should not give up easily. They said that they have already recruited enough people and they are not short of people."
Xiao Dang didn't dare to look Qin Huairu in the eye. She was afraid of being despised for not working. She also regretted not staying by Qin Huairu's side to take care of her when she fainted. At that time, she just thought that if she didn't come back, she wouldn't have to pay. She never thought that she would be fired.
She actually has money, but she is unwilling to use it to supplement the family income, and she is even more reluctant to rent a house. How good is her home? Food and housing are free, isn't it better to save your own money?
Anyway, when I asked her for money, she said she had spent it all. Can I still kick her out?
"You damn girl, if you're fired, just say you're fired. It's good for your face. The key now is not about face. The truth will come out sooner or later. If you tell the truth, there may be a way. How do we start now?"
Qin Huairu didn't expect that Xiaodang still cared about his face. Getting paid for work is the most important thing. How much is face worth?
This girl doesn't look like her at all. If it were her, she would definitely cry miserably to get sympathy. Is it possible that she can't find a job?
"Mom, I don't want to give up my job as a teacher just to work for the He family. Doesn't this show my determination?
Who knew the He family was so ignorant and advised me to be a good teacher? Isn't it infuriating?"
Admitting that she is too proud to admit it, isn't it easy to make excuses? Did she work as a teacher for nothing these years? Just fooling people, she is good at this.
"Hey, what should I do now?"
Qin Huairu began to worry. What should she do now? She couldn't just sit at home like this. The He family had been disliking her for so many years. Even if she came in person now, it would be useless. She still had this self-awareness.
"Mom, tomorrow is Sunday, He Qian should be back. I'll ask He Qian to help me talk to her then. He Yukai likes He Qian so much, there will be no problem with the job. We can't fire one person when we have enough people!"
Xiao Dang was confident that she could convince He Qian. In her eyes, He Qian was completely naive. With her eloquence and persuasion, how could she not convince a student who knew nothing?
"Well, we can only try. When the time comes, you should talk to her nicely and remember to tell her all the difficulties our family is facing. Then He Qian will be soft-hearted and maybe agree to help."
Qin Huairu was worried that Xiaodang would not tell her about the difficulties for the sake of her reputation, and if he didn't help her when the time came, there would be nothing she could do. Now she couldn't even find a job sweeping the streets. If she hadn't knelt down and cried, her job sweeping the streets would have been assigned to an educated youth.
Qin Huairu felt bitter in her heart. The children had grown up and had their own ideas, but the family situation had not improved. The He family seemed to have never been short of money, but her family was not out of the situation of lack of money.
Banggeng, my dear son, when will you come back? There is no man in the family, only four women are struggling to support the family.
Ho's
"Foolish, you said that the children of the Jia family have grown up. Qin Huairu paid so much for these children back then, but now it seems that the situation of their family has not changed at all. What is the reason?"
"Didn't you say that back then? You were so busy trying to find ways to feed your children that you ignored a lot of things, such as their education. Bang Geng is not an easy person to deal with, just wait and see!
Who knows what kind of trouble that ungrateful person will cause when he comes back. The Jia family still has a lot of problems to deal with."
"Awesome?"
"That's right, didn't we see the great story when we were in Hong Kong? I asked someone to look it up afterwards, but unfortunately they couldn't find it. If it was a serious job, the detective agency would have found it.
The lack of results suggests two possibilities: one is that he left Hong Kong Island, and the other is that he did something shameful and probably didn’t even get an ID card in Hong Kong Island.”
He Yukai thought of the people who were with Banggeng. They didn't seem like good people. One of them was not even Chinese. There must be something fishy going on here.
Either Bang Geng will die outside and never come back, or as long as he comes back, something big will definitely happen in Siheyuan. He Yukai can see the little ability of Bang Geng. It can be said that he is overambitious and has a bad temper instead of ability. In the original drama, if He Yuzhu hadn't asked the big boss for help, it would have been difficult for him to find a job.
Now that he hasn't come back, it means that he can at least have food to eat outside. But he is overambitious and has big ambitions. Can he make a decent living?
He Yukai expressed his skepticism. Who cares? As long as their family lives a good life, there is no need to care so much. Men have many choices. They have to finish the path they choose even if they have to kneel. It depends on whether Banggeng walks the right path.
"Okay, Xiaoqing, go to bed! We won't go out until the kids come back tomorrow."
"All right!"
He Yukai didn't know that Xiaodang had set his eyes on their family and insisted on getting a job from them. He was very determined, but was it really possible?
The next day, he slept until he woke up naturally and it was another energetic day. He Yukai got up and went out for a walk, and bought breakfast. He Yuzhu had already gone to the private restaurant. Although they had not officially started to receive guests yet, there were still many people who came here to visit, and business was gradually getting better.
This shows that the environment in the capital is improving. The people who discuss matters in the private restaurant are all important people. According to He Yuzhu, they are all rich people who entertain guests.
He Yukai knew the significance of these people slowly starting to treat guests. Many of them were second-generation people, and they had already started to go into business. This was a sign of the times, and the second-generation people were not far from being completely let go.
The leader has not yet gone to the south to take a look, but He Yukai's preparations have been completed and all aspects are being prepared. He is one of the people with a lot of free time. People who control the general direction generally won't be too tired, and he is the one who controls the general direction.
"Dad, your precious daughter is back. Did you miss me?"
"Uncle must be missing me"
"Of course it smells good, the two little princesses of our He family, please take a seat."
"get it"
Xiaodang had been paying attention to the movements in the He family. When she found out that He Qian had come back, she could no longer sit still. She walked out of the room and waited for He Qian in the bathroom. She was sure that He Qian would definitely help her.
Since Huaihua can get all the review materials she needs, isn't it easy to let her go to work? The restaurant is hers.
She was jealous of the good fortune of the He family's children, who had enjoyed delicious food and worn good clothes since childhood. However, when she was a child, her grandmother's favoritism made her unable to eat. When she grew up, she finally found a job but was fired.
Look at He Qian's clothes. Going to college is such an unfair fate. He is unwilling to accept it, but what else can he do?
People are different. She was born in the poor Jia family, but He Qian and the other five children were born in the wealthy He family. She suffered endless hardships since childhood, but He Qian and the others were able to enjoy a life that she now feels is a luxury.
She had no father since childhood and had a mean grandmother who was extremely harsh to her and Huaihua. All the good things belonged to Banggeng. Banggeng ate meat, and they couldn't even have soup. Banggeng ate white flour, and they only had steamed corn bread. Sometimes they didn't even have steamed corn bread and could only drink corn flour.
Thinking of these, Xiaodang's heart began to twist. She felt the injustice of society and felt that God was unfair to her.
She never thought of finding fault with herself. She attributed everything to fate. She could not choose where she was born, but she could choose her life.
Now that the work problem has been solved, why not just work hard? She had to court death, and now she was fired, and she was jealous of He Qian and the others.
The He Qian she wants can be obtained easily by them, and the He Qian she wants to possess with great effort, they will give it to her outstandingly and she will already have it.
The huge psychological contrast made this girl who looked like Qin Huairu completely crazy. Her thoughts were no longer right. No wonder in the TV series, Sha Zhu wanted to take the TV away before he even watched it, and even used this as an excuse.
It is ironic that he deliberately calls Lou Xiao'e "mom" in order to become a manager.
He Qian was still at home making a scene with He Yukai, and she had no idea that a woman had set her sights on her. She was innocent and had no idea that a girl had linked her misfortune to her. How incredible it was. "He Qian, I have something I want to ask you for help with."
"Xiao Dang? Wait until I finish using the toilet."
He Qian couldn't figure out what else needed to be discussed with her. They hadn't seen each other for a long time. But after all, they grew up together, so she had to listen to what the other person had to say. As for whether she could help or not, that depended on what the matter was.
She also knew that his parents didn't like the people from the Jia family, but she personally didn't feel that way. If they didn't like them, then so be it!
Except for Banggeng and Jia Zhang, she would usually greet people from the Jia family when she met them. Banggeng left a very bad impression on her, and Jia Zhang's pathological preference for boys over girls made her disgusted from the bottom of her heart.
Huaihua was okay. Although the relationship was not good, it was not bad either. They could still talk to each other. She would not hate the whole family because of one person. She would not expect Xiaodang to ask for such a high price.
"He Qian, I don't want to work at school anymore. Can you help me talk to Uncle He and let me work in your restaurant?
Just give me the position of manager or foreman. Don't worry, I will manage the waiter team well. I have been in school for several years, so I can do this job well.
Besides, Uncle He can rest assured that there is someone from our compound there!"
Xiao Dang spoke as a matter of course, but He Qian was already impatient. "You are a toad yawning, what a loud tone!" She knew how much her father hated the Jia family. On the other hand, Guan Xiaoguan majored in hotel management, which would be a waste of her talent if she were to work in a restaurant. How could she be so confident that she could manage so many waiters on the third floor?
He Qian rolled her eyes. Xiao Dang was not right! He used to be arrogant because he became a teacher and had a government salary. Now he actually wanted to work as a waiter in their hotel. It felt a bit strange.
"Xiao Dang, you don't want to be a good teacher. You want to work in a hotel? There are no receipts in the hotel, only wages. I suggest you work in the school!"
"Oh, I like challenging jobs. It's a headache to face those kids every day. They are so naughty. I want to find an easier job."
"It's not easy working in a restaurant. As far as I know, I'm busy from the start, every day, and most importantly, there are no days off."
He Qian expressed her refusal very well, but Xiao Dang didn't react at all. I don't know whether he didn't hear it or was pretending not to understand.
"Really? I love busy work the most. Can you help me talk to Uncle He?"
"Xiaodang, you also know my dad, why don't you tell me yourself? I have never asked about the restaurant's affairs. My dad asked me to study hard and didn't let us children ask about family affairs. I'm sorry."
"I've told Uncle He and Aunt He, and they said they've already filled the vacancies. He Qian and I grew up together, so can you help me talk to them? Those people are outsiders, not from our compound. If we fire one or two of them, there won't be any vacancies left!"
"No, my dad will definitely not agree. The street office asked my dad to help recruit this waiter, and he didn't do anything wrong. How can you just fire him? I can't say such a thing. You should just work hard at school and find a chance to become a regular employee."
"If the waiter is not good enough, then we can at least fire the foreman and the lobby manager, right? As a teacher, I am better than them, right?"
"Xiao Dang, let me tell you, the lobby manager is a returned overseas student from the United States, and she is also He Bing's girlfriend. Do you think she would be fired so easily? All the waiters were trained by my mom and aunt, so it is even more impossible for them to be fired. Sorry, I really can't say it!"
He Qian had already lost her patience and desire to continue talking to this brainless woman. Her tactful refusal was so obvious, it seemed that this girl didn't even understand the refusal and was still dreaming. How was that possible?
She seemed to understand a little bit about her father's difficulties in having opinions about everyone in the Jia family. It was ignorant of him to act as if it was natural.
"What's so great about you? Isn't it just that you were born into a good family? I can work in your restaurant because you think highly of me, otherwise I wouldn't go even if you invited me."
"Yes, we are nothing special. Then why are you still nagging? And why do you just give us a manager or foreman? Let me tell you, our managers and foremen are all highly educated talents with rich management experience. What do you have? It's nothing. I don't want to talk nonsense with you. I'll get out of the way!"
Originally, He Qianha didn't want to fall out with him, but seeing that Xiaodang was so tactless, she didn't want to keep pretending to be nice to him. It's better not to deal with such a person, as it would lower her IQ.
"When bad luck comes for you, I'll wait and see if your He family will continue to divide the power like this and let the villain succeed."
"I don't know if we will continue to prosper, I just know that I won't ask you for help, so get out of the way!"
He Qian went home angrily. She had finally come back, but met such a person. She was so angry. Where did her confidence come from?
"Hey, who made our little princess angry?"
"You're still a little princess? You're already a grown-up girl, what's going on? Tell me!"
"You are still Xiao Dang, you are so arrogant, just give us a foreman manager, you want to give us alms to support you, do we need people? What the hell, I am so angry."
"If you dare to make my sister angry, I will punish you."
When He Yu heard this, he immediately stood up and prepared to go to Jia's house to settle the score with Xiaodang.
"Little flatterer, okay, ignore her"
"Uncle, I'm not a flatterer, I won't agree with you saying that!"
"Okay, okay, Xiaoyu is not a flatterer! Don't pay attention to those people in their family. Let's go out to eat. After eating, it's a good opportunity to go see the old man. The old man's mental state is getting better and better. You two deserve praise."
"Haha, Dad, you don't know, Grandpa was so stunned by Grandpa Zheng's scolding that he doesn't dare to stab anymore. It's so funny, it's like he met his nemesis!"
"Oh? What is your grandpa doing over there?"
"I feed the birds, clean the house, and cook for Grandpa Zheng. I'm so well behaved. Grandpa Zheng is like a rich landlord who criticizes Grandpa every day. Haha."
"Yes, yes! Uncle, these two old men are so fun. My sister and I will go over when we are free. Grandpa Zheng is amazing and knows so much."
"Well, it's time to send your grandpa to Hong Kong Island. Your aunt called and said everything is ready."
"Ah! Are you leaving now?"
"Of course, there is still work to do over there. What's the matter, little girl, you can't bear to leave your grandfather?"
"After Grandpa Zheng left, he was all alone. We couldn't go there every day. The school had strict management. If the security guard hadn't secretly given out the security code, it wouldn't have been that convenient for us."
"Your Grandpa Zheng will have something to do soon. The old man is a treasure, and his knowledge is inexhaustible. I plan to find a few students for your Grandpa Zheng, haha."
"Foolish, what kind of apprentice are you going to find for Uncle Zheng?"
Cai Wenqing knew Zheng Yaoxian very well and looked at He Yukai worriedly.
"The three boys at home didn't come back this week. They can date, but they have to carry forward the foundation we laid in the future. They can't just sit there doing nothing. They should study hard with Grandpa!
The old man is good at grasping people's hearts and communicating with others. The children can learn from him when they have time. It will be very useful to them in the future."
"Well, this is a good idea. Uncle Zheng is such a powerful person, he will definitely help the children grow up quickly."
"That's right. We'll lay a solid foundation, and their future development will depend on themselves. We'll retire and live a retired life, and won't come out unless it's necessary."
“I’m waiting for that day to come!”
Cai Wenqing is looking forward to the day of retirement. Now he is content with watching his children’s wedding banquets and does not have so many thoughts anymore. As for how much money he makes, what is the point?
Aren’t all their actions now just to lay a foundation for the children? After the foundation is laid, whether they can be a dragon or a worm depends on themselves. They can’t control the rest.
Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Now he can no longer see how society will develop in the future, but it will certainly be for the better, there is no doubt about that.
