Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 178 Divine Assist

Yu Mo's letter was very short, only one page, mostly polite words, and only a small part was useful. The other party promised to assist the patient in completing all the procedures for going to Hong Kong, help contact the hospital, and if necessary, solve the problem of accommodation.

"This Yu Mo is quite nice!"

Du Shaojie smiled silently and gave Yu Mo a thumbs up in his heart.

He thought about it, put away the two letters, and went to the kitchen to cook. Today he wanted to cook two dishes to reward Xiaoya.

night.

He went to Liang Meiqin's house and took the opportunity to tell Liang's mother Wang Liwen's reply.

The expression on Liang's mother's face kept changing. She was indeed frightened by the high medical expenses abroad.

Comparing like this, it seems more appropriate to go to Hong Kong?
"Thank you, Shaojie. I will discuss this with Mikoto's father later. If we really go to Hong Kong, I will have to trouble you and your friends."

Liang's mother did not say anything definite. Going to Hong Kong for medical treatment would also be a huge financial burden for their family.

Du Shaojie didn't say much. He chatted with Meiqin for a while and then went home.

Liang Meiqin didn't know about this yet. Liang's mother and father waited until late at night to discuss this matter in the house. They didn't know before, and they didn't expect that medical expenses abroad would be so expensive.

"Lao Liang, how about going to Xiangjiang and giving it a try?"

"We need to prepare tens of thousands of dollars to go to Hong Kong for treatment. How can we afford that? I think we can borrow some money from outside. As long as my daughter's eyes can be cured, I will be willing to pay the debt for the rest of my life."

"Well, let's think of a solution together."

The couple decided to borrow money to pay for Liang Meiqin's medical treatment. Faced with the huge medical expenses, they were gambling the rest of their lives.

Du Shaojie also knew that going to Hong Kong for medical treatment would make Liang Meiqin's parents very embarrassed, but he couldn't take the initiative to take charge of everything, which would be unreasonable.

If the other party comes to him to borrow money, he will definitely try his best to help.

But Liang's father and mother thought of their relatives and friends first. Unless it was absolutely necessary, how could they have the nerve to ask their younger generations for help?
While the couple was busy borrowing money outside every day, Qi Yan and Du Xiaomei also had their summer vacation and returned home one after another.

"Brother, do the clothes I bought for Mom and Xiaoya look good?"

Xiaomei came back this time with a lot of bags and bought clothes for Wang Yuxiu, Du Shaojie and Xiaoya.

The gifts given to Du Shaojie were a shirt, a short-sleeved shirt and a pair of trousers, the gifts given to his mother were a set of summer clothes, and the gifts given to Xiaoya were two dresses.

"It looks good and makes me look more energetic when I wear it."

Du Shaojie had to admit that his elder sister's aesthetic taste was still on point.

"That's good. It's worth my trip to Gaudi Street to buy it."

Du Xiaomei became proud immediately after getting recognition from her brother.

Gaodi Street is home to some of Guangzhou's earliest self-employed clothing businesses. In the next ten years, this street will be the largest clothing distribution center in the area.

It was not until the early 1990s, when the Guangzhou Baima Clothing Market opened, that Gaodi Street gradually began to decline.

"Kid, you've been on the train for such a long time, go get some sleep."

Wang Yuxiu felt sorry for her daughter and sent her to bed.

Now there are more rooms in the house, and the three brothers and sisters all have their own rooms. This is the happiest thing for Xiaomei this time when she returned.

She slept soundly until her sister called her to get up and eat, then she realized it was already dinner time.

"Where's brother?"

When Xiaomei came out of the room and didn't see Du Shaojie, she asked Xiaoya.

"Brother has gone out for something, let's eat first and don't wait for him."

Xiaoya responded and then ran to the kitchen to serve the dishes and rice.

Du Xiaomei felt a little disappointed. After all, she just came back today and her brother didn't even have dinner with her.

But she had no idea that Du Shaojie had been extremely busy for the past half day.

Medical school cafeteria.

Du Shaojie and Su Dapeng were making [Dezhou Braised Chicken]. The kitchen, which was originally bustling, now became deserted.

In the afternoon, Huang Yicheng suddenly brought people to the snack bar to inspect the work. He clearly stated that someone had reported to the higher-ups that some employees of the snack bar had used the excuse of going out to study and had never returned.

Dong Jun urgently sent someone to notify Du Shaojie, and Du Shaojie had to ask the six people to put down their work and go to the snack bar with him.

Let Su Dapeng take care of things here first. He will come over to help when he is done.

When they arrived at the snack bar, Huang Yicheng had a very bad attitude and kept asking Du Shaojie what he wanted to do.
"It doesn't matter what I want to do. What matters is that I have a contract agreement with the bureau. According to the agreement, as long as I pay the contract fee on time and don't embezzle collective property, the bureau has no right to interfere with my business activities."

Even though Du Shaojie had lived two lives, he was still furious at Huang Yichen's anger.

Before signing the contract, he had thought about the various problems that might arise, but the other party's lack of regard for the agreement still opened his eyes.

In his previous life, he saw some big Vs posting about nostalgia for the 80s on the Internet, as if the 80s were the best. Only after he experienced it himself, he couldn't help but think, that's all bullshit!
"It's true that you have the right to operate the business, but you cannot infringe upon the rights of the employees. I need to investigate this matter thoroughly, and I hope you can cooperate. Now call those six people over, I want to talk to them." Huang Yicheng actually didn't want to get involved in this mess from the bottom of his heart, but the bureau leaders had received a large amount of reports, saying all kinds of things, and almost portrayed Du Shaojie as an evil government official.

In fact, since Du Shaojie took over the contract, he has never withheld anyone's salary or bonus.

He even tolerated the bureau constantly sending people to the snack bar.

But today he didn't want to endure it anymore, so he said, "You can investigate as much as you want, but only today. The employees are very busy. If it affects the efficiency and can't pay their wages, then I will let them eat for free in the office cafeteria every day."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Huang Yicheng and the others who came with him were all helpless, but they still had to go through the necessary procedures.

Afterwards, they talked to the six people separately, mainly to verify whether Du Shaojie had used the excuse of going out to study to deduct their wages.

Bonuses do not count and are not included in this investigation.

The six people understood and insisted that they were going out to study. Not only would they receive the same monthly salary as before, but they would also receive the same bonuses as other employees.

Huang Yicheng and others breathed a sigh of relief. Without an investigation, they had no right to speak. Now that the investigation has been completed, the matter can be put to an end.

At this time in the cafeteria of the medical school, Su Dapeng kept persuading Du Shaojie: "Shaojie, why don't you just quit! You don't need money, why do you care about that little salary? We can't bear that humiliation."

Du Shaojie shook his head and didn't respond.

He had worked in the snack bar for such a long time that he had some feelings for it. He had seen a group of unemployed young people change from being lazy and careless at the beginning to being conscientious and hardworking now.

To be honest, if he quits, the snack bar won't last for a few more years.

Putting aside other things, just looking at Dong Jun and Huang Tingting's personalities, if someone else couldn't convince them, there would definitely be a big fight.

What's more, the recipe of the snack bar's signature dish, "Spicy Chicken with Peppercorns," is still in his hands. Without the spice packs he provided, this most profitable project would be ruined.

In the second half of this year, Du Shaojie will take part in the "Chef Grade" qualification examination organized by the Provincial Department of Commerce. He plans to apply for the "Special Level 3 Chef". If he leaves the unit, he will not even be eligible to register.

Of course, this situation will definitely change in a few years, but he doesn't want to waste time like this.

At this moment, Huang Tingting walked in with the six people.

"Manager Du, Manager Su, let us do it, you guys take a rest."

The six young men were very smart. When they saw Du Shaojie and Su Dapeng were busy, they immediately changed their clothes and started working.

Du Shaojie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Huang Yicheng did not make things difficult for them.

Huang Tingting pulled them out and explained the cause of the incident: "My uncle doesn't want to get involved in this matter. The main reason is that people in the bureau keep writing reports of accusations, and we have to investigate."

"What was the conclusion of the investigation?"

"The conclusion is that the complaint materials are fabricated, and no evidence was found that the snack bar contractor violated the rights of employees."

After Huang Tingting’s explanation, everyone understood everything.

It seems that Huang Yicheng cannot be blamed for this matter. This is both a bad thing and a good thing. There are always people who make trouble out of nothing. The leaders of the authorities really have no temper, right?
It would be fine if some problems could be verified, but the problem is that nothing happened. I guess the people who jumped high will be in trouble again.

"Tingting, I understand. Thank you for telling me. By the way, you and Dapeng have been dating for so long, when will you treat me to wedding candy?"

Du Shaojie thanked him, and then changed the subject, causing Huang Tingting to blush.

Su Dapeng was secretly delighted, thinking, as expected of a childhood friend, this divine assist came just in time. He actually wanted to confront Huang Tingting, but every time he would swallow the words back, he was indeed a "coward" in this respect.

"Ask him."

Huang Tingting was silent for a long time before she suddenly said this.

Du Shaojie understood immediately, and then looked at Su Dapeng with a look of "hateful for not being able to live up to expectations".

"Dapeng, shouldn't you take the initiative in this matter? Listen to me, buy some good cigarettes, wine and tea, and ask your family to come to your house to propose marriage. If you wait any longer, don't cry if Tingting marries someone else."

When Huang Tingting heard this, she couldn't help but give Du Shaojie a fierce look.

What does it mean to marry someone else? Is this what people say?
"Hey, I got it. I'll tell my parents when I go back today. My parents are very satisfied with Tingting, and Tingting's family also has a good impression of me. It's time for this matter to have a result."

Huang Tingting was naturally very happy to hear him say this.

Afterwards, the two of them left Du Shaojie's office hand in hand, probably to discuss their marriage.

Du Shaojie then went to the kitchen and returned home.

Xiaomei just came back today, and something like this happened, so she didn't even have time to have a good chat with her sister.

"Brother, have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet. I have a lot to do today. I just finished my work."

When Xiaomei heard that her brother hadn't eaten yet, the slight resentment in her heart suddenly disappeared.

She hurried to heat up the food for her brother. Du Shaojie sat down to eat and she stayed by his side.
