Chapter 365 Let’s Break Up
The room was quiet for more than ten seconds, during which the only sound was the TV.
It was Bao Pandi who broke the silence first, "Xiao Yu, this noodle shop is a partnership between you and Qian Lan, right?"
"Yes." Yu Hui nodded.
"You two opened a noodle shop together, so you two are the bosses. You have a sister-in-law working in the noodle shop and getting paid, so there should be someone from our family working in the noodle shop as well. It doesn't make sense that all the people in the noodle shop should be your family members if it's a noodle shop opened by two people!" Bao Pandi said while clapping his palms with the back of his hands.
Yu Hui shook her head. "Aunt, that's not the case. Back then, the noodle shop was busy, and Sister Qian wanted to open the evening market, but the two of us couldn't handle it, so we decided to find someone else to work at the noodle shop. Initially, Sister Qian went to ask her mother, but she wouldn't come. It just so happened that my sister-in-law was free, so I asked her to work at the noodle shop."
"Now the noodle shop is staffed manually. The three of us are sometimes quite idle, and we are divided into two shifts. If we hire one more person, there will only be four people working in such a small noodle shop. Wouldn't we be so idle that we would be swatting flies?"
Bao Pandi waved his hands impatiently, "You don't have to say so much. I only believe one thing, that is, since this noodle shop is a partnership between you and Qian Lan, and someone in your family works in the noodle shop, then we must have one in our family!"
Yu Hui pursed her lips and was silent for a moment. "When we first opened this noodle shop, I paid for the rent and the initial preparations. Sister Qian didn't contribute a penny. She was just a laborer."
"From ancient times to the present, in business partnerships, whoever contributes the most money gets the lion's share. Even if there's one more person working in my family's noodle shop, no matter how much you talk about it, no one would say anything wrong."
This time it was Bao Pandi's turn to remain silent. After about a minute, she spoke again, "How much did you spend on the initial preparations and renting the shop? We can just make up for it. With one more person working at the noodle shop, you and Qian Lan can split the monthly earnings 50-50."
Bao Pandi's heart was burning with anger, and his old face turned red.
The Gu family and Yu Lixin were all shocked by Bao Pandidi's shamelessness. What was she dreaming of here?
In the early days, Qian Lan didn't know that the noodle shop could make money. She was afraid of losing money so she didn't want to invest money in it. She joined the business as a human being and only got a 10% stake.
The noodle shop was making money, and Bao Pandyi wanted to make up for the initial investment and split the monthly profits 50-50. How could such a good thing happen in the world?
Yu Lixin felt embarrassed, so he stood up and ran out.
Yu Hui said coldly, "No, this partnership and profit-sharing agreement was signed by Sister Qian and I when we opened the shop. There's absolutely no reason to change it."
"Why can't you change it? Can't you just sign a new one?" Bao Pandi said as a matter of course.
"Xiao Yu, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're just a dishonest person. Qian Lan really treats you like a good sister, but you don't treat her like a good sister. The noodle shop is so profitable, and you only give Qian Lan a little over a hundred yuan out of a thousand yuan a month. You really have the nerve to do that."
"I don't treat Sister Qian as my sister?" Yu Hui sneered. "I provided the initial capital for this noodle shop, and the noodle-making skills are also mine. I can definitely call my niece from my hometown to open a noodle shop myself."
"I saw that Sister Qian didn't have a job, and Brother Yu's salary alone was enough to support not only his wife and children, but also his parents and brothers at home. The family burden was heavy, so I thought Sister Qian would have a job, earn some money, and have more income to ease the burden, so I brought her in."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Yu Zhuang's face.
"Aunt, you are still saying that I am not kind!" Yu Hui was very angry.
"Forget it. Since my kindness has been rewarded, I'll just part ways with Sister Qian. Sister Qian didn't contribute a penny to this noodle shop anyway, and there's no investment involved. Starting tomorrow, she won't have to work there anymore. I'll run this noodle shop myself."
As soon as Qian Lan and Yu Qiang walked into the yard, they heard Yu Hui say this.
Qian Lan was startled at first, then she understood what Yu Hui meant. She pretended to be angry and glared at Yu Qiang and said, "Look at what your mother has done!"
Yu Qiang scratched his hair irritably and walked into the main room.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
The stunned Bao Pandi came to his senses, looked at his eldest son, then at Yu Hui, opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Yu. My mother is old, her mind is not very clear, and she is not very careful with her words. No matter what she says, don't take it to heart." Yu Qiang bent down to apologize.
Yu Hui had a cold face and said in a cold voice, "I think Auntie is very smart. I don't dare to continue running this noodle shop with Sister Qian. I originally had good intentions and felt that your family was burdened. I took Sister Qian with me to make money, but now it seems like I'm cheating your family."
"Let's break up. Brother Yu, you and Sister Qian know that your family didn't contribute a penny in the early stages, and the craftsmanship is mine. Sister Qian just contributed some effort, and I also contributed some effort. She is actually just like others who find a job and work."
"There are so many military families in our compound. Finding a formal job would only earn you thirty yuan a month at most. I'm willing to share ten percent of the net profit with you, which is at least seventy or eighty yuan a month, which is already quite good."
"Now I've been branded as a swindler and a dishonest person. Why did I even bother?"
"Xiao Yu, I know how good you are to me. I am the one who has let you down. I won't have the face to see you anymore. I have no objection if you want to break up." Qian Lan said with red eyes.
Bao Panddi was confused. She came here just to work at the noodle shop so that Xiaojuan could go, so why did she talk about breaking up the partnership?
Gu Huai glanced at Yu Qiang coldly and said, "Let's tear it down. It will be more convenient for us to run our own business. There will be no conflicts, we don't have to give away so much money, and we won't have to bear the blame for our good intentions."
"Call home later and ask Qiuyu to sell her job at the supply and marketing cooperative and come work at the noodle shop."
Yu Qiang was so ashamed that he couldn't raise his head. He was too embarrassed to face Gu Huai and Yu Hui. He had a clear idea of how Gu Huai and Yu Hui treated him and his family, and he was very grateful to them.
If it weren't for Gu Huai, he might still be an old company commander.
The couple had helped them so much, and always thought of their family when something good happened, but his mother was the one who found such a thing for the Gu family. He really felt embarrassed and guilty.
I feel even more reluctant to give up the dividend of 180 yuan this month.
Although he felt a little uncomfortable because Qian Lan earned more than him, with so much dividends every month, his burden was really lightened a lot and life at home was much better.
He was just thinking about how to apologize when he heard his mother say, "Let's tear it down. Qian Lan has worked in the noodle shop for so long and has learned the skills to make noodles. Let's tear it down and open our own noodle shop."
