Factory Director Yang noticed Chen Jun's reaction and smiled as he unscrewed the bottle of Moutai.
"Don't be nervous. The reason I brought you here today is because I need your help with a small matter."
really!
Chen Jun asked directly, "Factory manager, there's no need for us to beat around the bush. If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."
Upon hearing this, Director Yang glanced at his cousin, and Yang Jingwen, seeing this, took the Moutai and poured a cup for Chen Jun.
"Chef Chen, I would like to invite you to be our honorary head chef."
"Please don't rush to refuse. This honorary head chef position is just a nominal one at the restaurant. I don't need to come here to do anything. As compensation, I'm willing to give you 10% of the restaurant's profits."
"What do you think, is it a good idea?"
Yang Jingwen spoke very sincerely. In fact, the idea of appointing Chen Jun as honorary head chef was not his own, but rather a letter from Director Yang, who said that Chen Jun was now a second-level cook and a prominent figure in the entire Beijing chef circle.
"Just for being an honorary head chef, you can get a 10% cut?" Chen Jun smiled and shook his head: "I can't accept a reward without merit. I don't want this kind of benefit."
"Hey, let the child finish speaking."
Factory Director Yang waved his hand, signaling Yang Jingwen to continue.
“Master Chen, my skill level is just average, so I’d like to find a master to mentor me. But I’m not qualified to be your master, so I’d like to make you the honorary head chef of the restaurant, so that I can have the opportunity to learn from you.”
"Of course, I won't bother you every day. I'll only go two or three times a month. You just need to help me with my questions."
"That's right. Jingwen is too embarrassed to trouble you, so he wants to ask you for a chance to study."
Factory Director Yang chimed in, "Anyway, it's always him who comes to the factory to find you. You can just give him some pointers when you have some free time. It won't cause any problems."
Trading 10% of the store's profits for a learning opportunity?
Chen Jun glanced at Yang Jingwen with some surprise; this guy was really willing to go to such lengths.
In fact, given his relationship with Director Yang, could he really refuse Yang Jingwen's request for guidance from the factory?
But he was still willing to give himself 10% of the profits.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Jun nodded: "No problem. If there's anything you don't understand, just come to the cafeteria and find me. You don't need to give me any profit. Running a small shop isn't easy for you."
Seeing that Chen Jun had agreed, Yang Jingwen excitedly clenched the corner of his clothes.
"No, no, I can't let you work for nothing. You're a second-level cook, your time is very precious." Yang Jingwen insisted that he had to take this 10% profit, otherwise he wouldn't feel at ease.
Chen Jun declined a few times and then said no more.
Since you have to give it to me, I'll just keep it.
After a satisfying meal, Chen Jun and Factory Director Yang left Yang Jingwen's small restaurant.
However, Chen Jun did not go back to the steel rolling mill with Director Yang. Instead, he took an afternoon off and went to Xue Ru Silk Shop.
When they arrived at the destination, Chen Jun saw Chen Xueru seeing off an old customer at the door.
"Honey, you said a few days ago that there was something you hadn't done yet. What is it? Let's take care of it while we have some free time this afternoon."
Chen Xueru glanced at him: "It's because you're such a busy person that you have free time. I'm free every day."
"Wait here, I'll be right out."
After uttering a small complaint, Chen Xueru went back to the shop to give a few instructions, and then got on Chen Jun's bicycle.
"Follow my instructions and turn right."
Alright!
Chen Jun suddenly pedaled his bicycle, startling Chen Xueru, who quickly grabbed his waist.
Following Chen Xueru's instructions, they arrived at their destination five or six minutes later.
Looking at the signboard above the shop, the words "Barbershop" are clearly written.
Um??
Did you just bring yourself to get a haircut?
Chen Jun figured that given Chen Xueru's personality, she probably wouldn't do something so pointless. Looking around, he spotted a photo studio across from the barbershop.
Happiness Photo Studio!
"Are we here to take wedding photos?" Chen Jun raised the corner of his mouth and reached out to squeeze Chen Xueru's small hand.
"Ugh, we've had our marriage certificate for days now, and you haven't mentioned taking wedding photos. It would be so embarrassing if we didn't have any pictures when we have the banquet in a few days," Chen Xueru pouted, her words tinged with complaint.
"Oh dear, this is my first time getting married. I didn't know we had to take wedding photos. Nobody in our neighborhood has ever had them taken before," Chen Jun explained.
Whether it was Jia Dongxu or Sha Zhu, the wedding process was very simple, and they didn't take any wedding photos.
As a wealthy woman, Chen Xueru's friends must also live a relatively refined life.
"This is my first time getting married too!"
Chen Xueru pinched Chen Jun's soft flesh on his waist, then pulled him into the barbershop.
"Master, fix his hair."
Chen Xueru pointed at Chen Jun and then continued, "Trim the tips of my hair too."
Chen Xueru's big waves don't need to be redone for now; a quick wash will do.
The barber shop owner, a middle-aged man with a small mustache, looked Chen Jun up and down, then nodded and replied, "Don't worry, I'll give him a trendy hairstyle!"
Forehead?
Chen Jun was startled and suddenly thought of Hammer King's little wife.
"Boss, what's your surname?" Chen Jun asked tentatively.
My surname is Hu!
"Hu Delu??" Chen Jun was startled again.
The shop owner exclaimed, "Young man, you know him?"
"I don't know him, I don't know him..."
Chen Jun quickly waved his hand.
In the end, after Mr. Hu's work, Chen Jun got a buzz cut, which is very common nowadays.
Chen Jun looked at himself in the mirror a few times and said that this was not fashionable at all, and the shop owner probably did not come from Shigejie Commune.
After getting their hair done, Chen Jun and Chen Xueru went into the Happiness Photo Studio.
There were no customers in the store at that time. Chen Xueru briefly explained her needs, and the owner asked her to choose one from several backgrounds.
"The male comrades should move slightly closer to the female comrades."
"Hey, come a little closer."
"The female comrades should move slightly closer to the male comrades."
"Hey, there's no need to get so close."
"Okay, don't blink, three, two, one."
Click!
At this time, taking a wedding photo is not cheap; it costs three yuan per photo. If you want a larger photo, you have to pay extra. No wonder no one in the neighborhood has taken wedding photos.
After leaving the Happiness Photo Studio, Chen Xueru dragged Chen Jun to the department store to choose some wedding candies, specifically picking out the ones she liked.
After strolling around, the two went straight to Donglaishun for a hot pot meal, discussing the wedding arrangements for a few days later while they ate.
Chen Jun suggested that he could borrow a car from the factory and bring Chen Xueru home in a grand manner.
But Chen Xueru disagreed. She meant that it shouldn't be too high-profile; picking him up by bicycle would be enough.
Chen Jun expressed some regret, saying that if circumstances allowed, he would have even wanted to use a motorcycle to pick up the bride, which would have been much more lively and exciting.
