Chapter 268: Preparing to open a branch (Please vote!)

Xu Xuemei was here just to keep the family company today. Knowing that her husband and in-laws were very interested in this garment factory, she did not compete with them for it. Anyway, according to her daughter's personality, she would have her work to do. So Xu Xuemei said it was nothing that her daughter brought her father-in-law to be the factory director but did not arrange any work for herself.

"Just buy one. Why spend so much money? Your dad and I go to get off work together. It's nice to have a companion."

Huo Chenggong felt that buying two bicycles at once was a bit expensive.

"It doesn't matter whether you buy it or not. Your mother's motorcycle has been shipped here with the help of a transport team. It should arrive in the next two days. I'll ride it then!"

Shen Jianmin chuckled.

"That's fine." Chen Jintao thought that a motorcycle would definitely be more convenient than a bicycle, so she didn't say anything.

Xu Xuemei rolled her eyes. "You've just become the factory director, and you're already eyeing my motorcycle. You're really getting cocky!"

Shen Jianmin just laughed foolishly, "Wife, if you want to use it, let's ride a bicycle."

Xu Xuemei smiled, "I'm just kidding. I'm not that stingy. It's all thanks to Taozi that you can be the factory director. You should be more sensible. Don't be a factory director who doesn't even know your own last name."

"How is that possible?" It was impossible for Shen Jianmin to take advantage of the power of others and think that he was great just because he was a factory director.

What he wants now is nothing more than to find something to do so that he doesn't have to sit around at home taking care of the elderly every day like before.

He really felt a little overwhelmed during that period, but through that period he also had a better understanding of the hardships his wife had gone through in the past.

It was only after I retired from the position of team leader that I felt the hardship of taking care of the elderly at home. But at that time, the children at home were going to school and working, and their work was not as hard as my wife had been taking care of the elderly and children before.

And it’s not like Mr. Shen is completely unable to take care of himself, but even so he still feels physically and mentally exhausted. In fact, it’s mainly a psychological problem. He always feels that he has been busy all his life, and he is not used to suddenly having free time.

"I am very happy that I have a job now. I don't care whether I can make money or not. I just think that life is more interesting this way."

Chen Jintao could actually understand her old father's psychology very well. Although he was not a team leader when he was young, he still had to go to the fields to work every day. People of that era mainly emphasized self-reliance and always felt that they were stable only when they could earn money.

If he is suddenly asked to do nothing but take care of the old man at home, it would be strange if he could get used to it.

"Mom, please stop talking about my dad. Don't you know what kind of person he is? He's not the kind of person who would do anything reckless. Besides, my father-in-law is watching us."

"From now on, we two fathers will supervise each other, and if anyone makes a mistake, he will go back and complain to our mother."

Shen Jintao said playfully.

After returning home, Xu Xuemei asked her daughter, "What can I do to help you?"

"Mom, I'll tell you straight away. I plan to open two more branches of our restaurant. Xiaoxi has already brought out those apprentices, and they can all handle things on their own, so I'm thinking of opening two more branches."

"Didn't you all learn from me before? Your cooking skills are not bad now. If you can take over as the manager of the other two stores, there will be no problem. If the kitchen is really too busy, you can also help out. But I have already checked their work situation. They have learned very well and can definitely open a store."

"We only have one store now, which is too limited. Generally speaking, no one is willing to travel a long way to eat here unless it is necessary, so we have to open more stores and expand the scope."

"When we have more and more branches, our reputation will surely increase. Then we can open stores in other provinces and all over the country."

Chen Jintao told Xu Xuemei all her thoughts in detail, and Xu Xuemei thought it made sense.

"Sure, that's a good idea. Can we do the same in our milk tea shop?"

"A milk tea shop is also possible, as long as you have enough energy. You can talk to your uncle and aunt about it."

"Okay." Xu Xuemei nodded, "Then Mom will help you take care of the new store."

"Then you can familiarize yourself with the environment here during this time, and we can go and choose a location for the new store together."

After the mother and daughter agreed, Liu Guifang also came back with Dabao and Erbao.

In fact, Dabao and Erbao haven't seen their grandparents for a long time, but they still have a good impression of them because both children are very smart and they can feel who is good to them and who is not.

Grandpa and grandma have great kindness towards them, so Dabao and Erbao also like them very much.

Although the Shen family now lives next door, they definitely have to eat together.

Seeing that they had finished their work, Liu Guifen said, "I thought you must be hungry after all the hard work today, so I have prepared the food a long time ago. You should go inside quickly."

"Is Beichuan back?" Chen Jintao didn't see Huo Beichuan, and thought he should still be busy in the army, but she still asked.

"No, he still has some things to deal with. So he asked Xiao Wu to take me and the kids back first?" Liu Guifen waved her hand. "He said we don't have to wait for him. Let's just eat first."

"Okay." Chen Jintao also knew that her husband's job didn't allow him to get off work on time every day, especially now that he has become a leader in the army. Although it doesn't seem as dangerous as before, there is still a lot of work to do every day.

"The work in Beichuan is really hard." Xu Xuemei, the mother-in-law, also feels sorry for her son-in-law.

"It's already pretty good. It's better than digging for food in the fields."

In the next two days, Shen Jianmin and Huo Chenggong started going to the factory.

It is said that a new official will make three big moves when he takes office, but the workers felt that the two new factory managers were very easy to talk to. They always smiled when they saw them, and the tense atmosphere at the beginning was gone.

The most important thing is that the boss said that they could be given a job. When they went back and told their families about it, everyone was very happy and felt that working in this factory was becoming more and more promising.

Chen Jintao began to take Xu Xuemei to look for shops everywhere, and this time she asked Wang Defa for introduction.

It is not easy to find a suitable store, so they looked at several.
