Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

After three days of booming business, the opening promotion period ended and the store's business saw a noticeable decline.

Du Shaojie was not in a hurry. Even if the reputation of the [Da Pan Ji] store exploded, it would take time for word of mouth to spread, right?
Besides, you don’t have to worry about rent for your own house, so you can afford the time spent.

He personally took care of Luo Gang and Tian Feiyu for a few days and felt that there was no problem, so he didn't plan to waste any more time here.

With the level of Dong Jun, Luo Gang and Tian Feiyu, they can already beat most small restaurants in seconds. Of course, this refers to individual dishes.

In terms of salary, the two waiters each receive 50 yuan per month, and the part-time cashier girl receives an additional 10 yuan subsidy.

There are two cooks in the kitchen, each earning 60 yuan per month. Luo Gang and Tian Feiyu get a higher salary, 80 yuan per month. Everyone's bonus is paid based on performance.

As for Dong Jun, he is a part-time worker. He receives a salary from the snack bar, and the specialty store gives him an additional 50 yuan (per month). His bonus is about half of that of Luo Gang and Tian Feiyu.

It is impossible to get more if you do less, and Dong Jun has no objection at all.

In the next few days, Du Shaojie went to the store every day to collect money, but later he stopped going. He opened a current account at a savings bank near the central blood station and asked the cashier to deposit money every day at 6 pm.

The evening business proceeds were directly locked in the iron cabinet upstairs and deposited into the savings bank the next morning.

The daily reconciliation is done by Dong Jun, Luo Gang and the cashier together. In fact, Du Shaojie can't hide this matter at all. He has a lot of experience in hotel management, kitchen management, etc.

Du Shaojie once again absorbed the surplus staff of the snack bar, and then accepted four unemployed young people from the labor service agency.

"Manager Du, why do I feel like this is more like a chef training restaurant? What do you think?"

In the afternoon, Du Shaojie went to the snack bar to reconcile accounts with the finance department, and Dong Jun smiled and made a joke.

Huang Tingting's team is composed of six outstanding staff members who are currently making Dezhou Braised Chicken in the canteen of the medical school. Two of his generals, Luo Gang and Huang Feiyu, are currently the chefs in charge of the Dapanji Specialty Store.

There are also cooks and waiters. Aren’t these people all trained in the snack bar?
"Isn't this good? The bureau has solved the employment problem for the children of employees, which has reduced the burden on the group and benefited the individuals."

In fact, Du Shaojie didn’t think so much. He just wanted to make good use of the three-year contract period. Who told the bureau to always want to stuff people into the snack bar?

Nowadays everyone's wages are generally low, and the wages of these unemployed young people are even lower. Even Huang Tingting and Xiao Jianjun's salary is not as high as that of a salesperson under Su Dapeng.

Huang Tingting and Su Dapeng have already made their relationship clear, and both families have no objection, so they plan to hold their wedding tomorrow, New Year's Day.

She didn't care about the salary, after all, the man she found was rich. But Xiao Jianjun couldn't bear it anymore, and had mentioned to Du Shaojie several times that he wanted to go out and work with him.

"Yes, it's a win-win situation for all three parties. However, Manager Du, you are so attractive that everyone wants to follow you to make more money."

Dong Jun understands this well, otherwise he wouldn't run to the Dapanji store after get off work every afternoon.

The two chatted for a while and then left work.

Not long after Du Shaojie returned home, Qi Yan pushed Liang Meiqin to see him.

Qi Yan, who usually loves to smile, had her brows furrowed, and Liang Meiqin still had traces of tears on her face.

"What's going on? What happened?"

"My parents fell down while riding their bikes last night and are still lying in bed. I asked them to go to the hospital but they refused to go.

I know they are afraid of spending money, and they wanted to hide the fact that they were borrowing money from everywhere from me, but I already knew it. "

"Shaojie, I tried to persuade Miqin's parents, but they wouldn't listen. How about you go and persuade them? We have to go to the hospital. If something is broken, the longer we delay, the more trouble we will have."

Liang Meiqin and Qi Yan each spoke a few words to explain the whole story.

Du Shaojie did not dare to be careless and immediately followed them to Meiqin's home.

He tried to persuade Liang's father and mother for a long time before they were convinced. Then he and Qi Yan carried them on their bicycles to the People's Hospital.

Liang Meiqin stayed at Du Shaojie's house temporarily. With Xiaomei and Xiaoya accompanying her, nothing would go wrong.

After the hospital's examination results came out, the doctor told Du Shaojie and others that it was nothing serious and they would be fine after a few days of rest.

After getting the medicine, everyone left the People’s Hospital and went home directly.

"Xiao Du, Yan Zi, thank you for your help today."

Liang's father and mother have been feeling exhausted during this period. It is extremely difficult for them to raise enough money to go to Hong Kong to treat their daughter.

They have been borrowing money from everywhere during this period, and have been looked down upon by many people.

After settling Liang's parents, Du Shaojie went home and pushed Liang Meiqin over. Liang Meiqin heard that her parents were fine, and she finally felt relieved.

"Shaojie, I don't want to treat my illness anymore. It can't be cured anyway."

How could Liang Meiqin not know the situation at home?
Her parents borrowed money from everywhere, for no reason other than to pay for her medical treatment.

Liang Meiqin felt that she couldn't always be a burden to her family. It would be fine if this disease could be cured, but the problem was that her disease couldn't be cured at all. What was the point of owing so much debt?
"Let's talk about this later. Uncle and aunt need to rest. When they have fully recovered, you can talk to them again."

Du Shaojie stayed for a while and then left. He didn't like this atmosphere because it was too depressing.

Qi Yan has been accompanying Liang Meiqin. There are three people in her family, three of whom are sick, and she is worried.

The next day.

Du Shaojie went to Liang Meiqin's house early in the morning. Qi Yan was not there at the moment, and Liang's father and mother were still resting.

He told her that Liang's mother had asked him to find out whether "sudden blindness" could be treated abroad, and that Yu Mo had helped contact a hospital in Hong Kong. "I think you should go to Hong Kong to see if it's okay, and your parents will have an explanation for you. If you don't have enough money, I can lend you some, and you can pay it back when you have more."

Du Shaojie and Liang Meiqin are just good friends. There may be a vague feeling between them, but no one has made it clear. As a result, Liang Meiqin's life has undergone major changes.

Although he is not rich now, he is still able to lend the other party 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.

But the Liang family had not said anything, and he was not in a position to rush to give money to his family.

At present, it seems that Liang Meiqin's parents have indeed encountered great difficulties, which have also affected Liang Meiqin's mood.

At this time he couldn't continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, otherwise he would not be able to get over it in his heart.

"Thank you, Shaojie! I didn't say that out of anger. I really don't want to run around for treatment anymore. We both know that there is no cure for my disease."

Liang Meiqin was very moved. Since ancient times, there have been few people who provide timely help, but many people who add icing on the cake.

It is hard to find a friend who is willing to lend money to your family.

After all, it is not a small amount of money. In this era when even a millionaire can make the newspapers, who would dare to lend so much money to others easily?
"Well, you should discuss it with your parents. What I said today will be effective in the future."

Du Shaojie actually didn't want anything. He didn't have the ability before, but now that he has the ability, how can he bear to see the girl who once liked him fall into despair?

Even though he doesn't usually flirt, he knows everything in his heart.

Liang Meiqin's tears fell all of a sudden. She could feel the other person's sincerity and knew that she had not misjudged him from the beginning.

It’s a pity that fate has made me blind, otherwise I would really like to marry him and be his woman for life.

"Don't cry."

Du Shaojie was a little at a loss. How could he make someone cry while talking?
If her parents came in now, she wouldn't be able to explain herself.

He quickly grabbed a tissue, bent down, and wiped the tears from her face.

Liang Meiqin suddenly stretched out her hands and hooked them around his neck. Their faces were already very close to each other. Caught off guard, Du Shaojie lost his balance and leaned forward, and their mouths met.

After a while, the two separated.

"Mikoto, look what I brought you?"

There was a hint of blush on Liang Meiqin's beautiful face, and at this moment, Qi Yan rushed in from outside.

The other party has the key to the front door, so there is no need to knock.

"Eh? Shaojie, you're here too. It just so happens that I bought some fried cakes. Let's eat them together. Have uncle and aunt eaten yet? There are some fried dough sticks here. I'll put them in the kitchen first."

Qi Yan still had her impetuous personality, and spoke like a machine gun, and no one could get a word in.

Du Shaojie picked up a fried cake and handed it to Liang Meiqin's mouth: "Eat it while it's hot."

Liang Meiqin smiled brightly, reached out to take the fried cake, and then began to eat it in small bites.

"Really delicious!"

"It's delicious, right? Shaojie, why don't you eat it?"

Liang Meiqin had just uttered an exclamation of praise when Qi Yan walked in and continued the conversation.

Du Shaojie shook his head, indicating that he had already eaten.

"I still have things to do. You two can eat slowly and come back when I'm done."

Maybe he felt a little guilty, but he made an excuse and left Liang Meiqin's house.

Although Liang Meiqin couldn't see, she could imagine someone looking a little embarrassed.

"Yanzi, you like Shaojie, right?"

Liang Meiqin was in a much better mood at this time.

After eating two fried cakes, Qi Yan helped her wipe her hands, and she suddenly asked.

"It's not the first day you've known that I like him, but this guy has always been so distant to me. It's so hard to guess what he's thinking."

Qi Yan is not the kind of person who would be shy, so she expressed her grievances in front of her best friend.

There are many outstanding boys in the school, but for some reason, she just can't get interested in them.

And if anyone said something like "just a cook" to her face, she would definitely never speak to that person again.

All the girls in the dormitory now know this taboo and everyone always avoids this topic.

"Our Yan Zi is so outstanding, how could she not impress him? Come, I'll teach you a trick that will make him fall in love with you forever."

"Oh, Mikoto, you've become a bad person. You even dare to say such embarrassing words."

The two best friends were laughing in the room, as if all the unhappy things had gone away from them. (End of this chapter)
