Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

As Shazhu hesitated, the rice in Banggeng's mouth no longer tasted good.

The two of them stood there awkwardly, not moving.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu quickly pulled Sha Zhu's arm and sat closer.

"Zhu Zi, please say something. I have been thinking about this for a day. If we can't keep the iron rice bowl, we don't want it. After all, we have Jing Ru and her family to help us, so our life won't be too bad. What do you think?"

Qin Huairu approached with enthusiasm, but was met with a dazed look on Sha Zhu's face.

"Why don't you say something and express your opinion!"

Qin Huairu kept poking Sha Zhu with her hands, hoping that he would quickly show her attitude. After all, she was working for someone else and making a living, so she had to show her attitude no matter what!

But Sha Zhu hesitated and never spoke.

"How can you say that? There are many Zui Xiang Lou restaurants in the world. I, He Yuzhu, make a living based on my own abilities. I can make a living anywhere and support my family."

He Yuzhu's tough attitude left everyone stunned. It was not in line with common sense!

"Zhu Zi, what you said is meaningless! Four-legged men are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere. Why did I want to marry you in such a huge crowd? Isn't this fate? I own a restaurant, how can I let my family go out to find work? This is a slap in my face! There is no room for negotiation on this matter. Come to my place with Bang Geng later!"

"I……"

"As for the salary and benefits, you can ask for whatever you want. Even if my life is hard, I, Xiao Weiguo, will not let my family suffer!"

"What's more, I can fulfill one of your wishes. I will be in charge of the restaurant's decoration and personnel management, but you can make your own decisions on the kitchen, including the ordering of dishes, the purchase channels, the deployment of personnel, and even the recruitment of people. I will leave the kitchen to you! It will be considered as your indirect investment, and the share of the profits will be calculated according to the restaurant's profits."

Xiao Weiguo spent a lot of money this time and made a historic concession in order to win back Sha Zhu.

However, Sha Zhu's expression was very intriguing. He did not have the joyful look that Qin Huairu showed when clapping her hands. Instead, he looked very sad.

"What are you doing, brother-in-law? You are too happy! Not everyone can enjoy this good thing. Chef Wang has been working for the restaurant for a long time, but he doesn't have the power to be the chef now!"

Qin Jingru couldn't help but complain a few words, which made Sha Zhu even more angry.

My goodness, your offer is so good, how can I refuse!

Bang Geng was observing the expressions of several people from the side, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and his eyes revealed the nature of a thief.

"Bang Geng, you must be exhausted after running around with your silly dad all day. Go home and have a rest after eating!"

As he spoke, Xiao Weiguo handed him a pack of cigarettes, hinting that he should leave quickly.

Banggeng's hand subconsciously reached for the cigarette box, but reason told him that he could not take the cigarettes. Wasn't it obvious that Xiao Weiguo was bribing him?

If I were to go somewhere, how would I have the face to face Sha Zhu in the future, and how would I have the nerve to refuse his invitation.

"Uncle-in-law...ah, I'm not full yet, just sit here!"

As he said this, Banggeng picked up another steamed bun and started eating it slowly in order to stay there.

"There's no soup left, what else can we eat? You'd better not get involved in adults' affairs!"

Xiao Weiguo's frank remarks put Banggeng in an awkward situation.

To go or not to go...

He looked at Sha Zhu helplessly, but Sha Zhu was a righteous man.

"Bang Geng is my apprentice and my right-hand man. I have to take him with me wherever I go!"

Sha Zhu's words undoubtedly made Banggeng feel at ease, but Xiao Weiguo hesitated. With Banggeng's personality, he would be a nuisance wherever he went.

If we let him come to Zui Xiang Lou, we would have to watch him all day long, and we might not be able to keep him under control.

It's not just a possibility, but it will definitely cause him all kinds of trouble.

Just for this reason, he cannot be allowed to come along.

But what about Shazhu!

Xiao Weiguo thought for a while and made a decision.

It’s better not to have unfaithful people!

"Zhu Zi, given our relationship, you can decide for yourself! I'll be waiting for your news tomorrow morning!"

After saying that, Xiao Weiguo got up, walked out and went straight home.

He understood Sha Zhu, and he understood why he didn't want to come to Zui Xiang Lou. It was simply to save his face. After being knocked down by Chef Wang, he was too embarrassed to stay in Zui Xiang Lou.

This has nothing to do with salary or benefits, it’s all about face!

Qin Jingru saw that the scene was so awkward, but couldn't help but say a few words.

"Brother-in-law, I really don't know what you are still hesitating about. Weiguo won't treat you unfairly, so why can't you come to Zui Xiang Lou! This is our family's business, so we should work together and make money together. Isn't it good? Think about it carefully, sister! It's up to you!"

Qin Jingru was not shy about it and obviously wanted Qin Huairu to say something good about her!

Qin Huairu nodded without hesitation and made the decision immediately, "Don't worry, Jingru, we are the closest family, how can we let him go to a stranger's place to show off? Don't worry, I will persuade him! I guess he is still thinking about going back to work in the factory!"

Qin Huairu was afraid of making everyone unhappy, so she simply explained a few words on behalf of Sha Zhu.

After seeing Qin Jingru and her family off, Qin Huairu slammed the door shut.

"Bang Geng, come here!"

Bang Geng, who had just put down his chopsticks, was suddenly called and was really scared.

"What's wrong, mom!"

"I asked you to come over here and ask you something!"

Bang Geng knew that Qin Huairu was going to torture him into confession, so he stood up, glanced at Sha Zhu, and silently asked him for help.

But Shazhu rolled his eyes and looked indifferent.

"To be honest, we haven't done anything shameful!"

"How dare you say that? I asked the security department and found out that you left in a car. Who on earth was this person who could have rescued someone so quickly? And it was a woman!"

It’s no wonder that Qin Huairu was sulking, because Xiao Weiguo never told her who this person was.

Bang Geng was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to say a word. He could only stand there silently and watch the two people quarreling.

Sha Zhu asked himself honestly that he had never done anything to let him down, yet he was still confronting him with such an arrogant attitude!

"Don't you just want to know who she is? Is it worth all the trouble? Humph, you actually know this person!"

Do I still know you?

Qin Huairu was very surprised, but then she strode to Sha Zhu and said, "Okay, I'm all ears. Who is she? Why should I help you?"

It is said that a woman's heart is as deep as the sea. When Xiao Weiguo and his family came here just now, Qin Huairu hadn't gotten angry yet. But as soon as this person left, she couldn't help but make a big fuss.

"She used to live in the same courtyard with us. She's an old neighbor! Do you doubt the help of an old neighbor?"

Old neighbor?

Qin Huairu opened her eyes wide in disbelief. She instantly thought about all the people around her. When she thought about what happened a few days ago, she immediately understood.

"is her!"

"Why did she help you..."

Qin Huairu couldn't get out of this circle, her mind was full of questions. Sha Zhu sighed helplessly and prepared to explain.
