"I should have muttered it a few more times, so it wouldn't have any effect."
Bonnie could see the faint worry on her uncle's face, but he just didn't say anything.
"Uncle, I heard you're not doing too well at work?"
Bonnie didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
"Sigh, don't even mention it. The new manager wants to turn Sihaiju into his own business. As soon as he took office, he started eliminating dissidents and brought in a lot of his own relatives. If Chef Shen hadn't retired and I, as the head chef, couldn't replace him for the time being, he would have gotten rid of me too."
When Uncle Lin heard that the manager had found a great chef, his position was in jeopardy.
He said that the manager had been clearly making trouble for him these past two days.
"Is this serious? Isn't anyone going to do anything about it? Which department is in charge of your state-run restaurants?"
Bonnie really didn't know which department was in charge of state-run restaurants. In later generations, people could expose them with videos, but now she didn't know if she could write a letter to complain.
"It's no use. This guy has powerful connections; he has people in high places. Otherwise, he would have been finished long ago. I'm even thinking of following Master Chen's example and opening my own restaurant."
Uncle Lin had been to Master Chen's restaurant. It was quite busy and seemed to be doing well; the customers must have made more money than Uncle Lin earned in a month.
"Oh, that's a real job for you. It's such a waste to just give it up like that. Da Hong, do you agree?"
Aunt Bao Ni was quite surprised. A formal job is so hard to come by these days, especially since Lin Nan had finally gotten one.
"If Bonnie hadn't introduced him to us, he would still be fishing and farming on the island, not some kind of formal worker. Over the years, my family has changed a lot because of this job. We're not greedy."
At worst, they can just go back to living on the island; it's not like they've never lived before. Zhiqiang is unhappy at work, and Lin Nan isn't much better off. Rather than harboring resentment, it's better not to do it at all.
Bonnie was surprised that her aunt was so open-minded. Well, she had always been very clear-headed.
In those years, her uncle worked alone on the outskirts of the island, while she stayed home to raise their three children, never making a fuss about moving to the city. She took good care of the family and didn't forget to be filial to her grandparents.
Bao Ni's uncle looked at his wife and smiled so broadly that Bao Ni understood how Liu Jiu and San Qi felt every time her brother said something sentimental.
