Su Fugui asked Su Le with some concern, "Is he okay?"
Su Le looked at the door. "It's nothing. I'll figure it out."
Xu Hu stayed in his room for nearly three days. Finally, he stood up and walked out, heading towards Su Le who was sitting on the stone chair.
"I can go to work tomorrow." Xu Hu said in a hoarse voice.
Su Le nodded. "There's porridge in the kitchen. Have some first. Eat something light these days."
Xu Hu looked at Su Le and opened his mouth. Su Le smiled and said, "Didn't the old man say that it's over with him? Have a good rest tonight and go to work full of energy tomorrow."
Xu Hu nodded tiredly, drank a bowl of porridge, and returned to his room to rest.
Su Fugui and Xu Sheng did not ask what happened to Xu Hu. Su Le took a pot of spiritual spring water, added some water, and sent it to Xu Hu's room.
Xu Hu described the whole story to himself, and Su Le acted as a quiet listener, listening to him.
Su Le could roughly guess that Xu Hu hadn't lost his memory. He had seen Zhang Chuan meet the old man more than once, and each time he'd listened from the sidelines, including when the old man didn't want to go back for a family reunion, and when the old man counseled Zhang Chuan. From their conversations, he gradually understood the whole story. Back then, he could distinguish right from wrong, which was why he treated Zhang Chuan well out of guilt. When the old man passed away, he took the initiative to find other things to give them space to talk.
Neither he nor Zhang Chuan was wrong; it was their parents who were wrong.
Su Le patted his shoulder and said, "You two are too deeply entangled. It's best for you to separate like this. You still have many brothers in your life who care about you. It's time for you to move on."
Xu Hu looked at the brothers sitting at the stone table outside, who occasionally glanced at him. The worry in their eyes was clearly visible.
Su Le walked out the door and sat on a stone bench, waiting quietly without letting them report.
Xu Hu shaved off his beard, changed his clothes, and walked over refreshed. Yu Jie and the others looked at him in surprise, "Brother Hu, are you okay?"
"Brother Tiger, have you eaten?"
"Brother Hu, if you don't come to help me, I won't be able to run the milk tea shop anymore!"
"Brother Hu! My brothers and I will drink with you tonight! Let's get drunk!"
Xu Hu looked at the concerned people, not even asking why. Suddenly, he felt relieved. "Drink for nothing! Don't think you can slack off on your work just because I'm not around. Who's going to work tomorrow if we get drunk? Let's start reporting quickly. We'll be eating soon."
After being bullied, Xu Changsheng and his friends became even happier. It was great that Brother Hu was still the same Brother Hu.
Xu Changsheng and the others began to report as normal. After the report was finished, Su Le slowly said, "Xu Hu will go back to work as normal tomorrow. Xu Changsheng, give me a cashier position next month."
Xu Changsheng nodded, "Okay, he's almost independent now. It's Zhang Fei from the next yard."
Su Le nodded, "Wang Ming, you have to give me four salesmen."
Wang Ming thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Lin Guang, Chen Mi, Zhang Jin, Qin Zhong."
"Zhang Jing, have you taught anyone to study law?" Su Le asked Zhang Jing with his head tilted.
Zhang Jing lowered his head and said, "No..."
Su Le said coldly, "There are still five people left next door. You must at least pick out two with a solid foundation. Li Xian, you must bring out three."
Li Xian and Zhang Jing nodded, "Got it."
He turned to look at Zhang Liang and asked, "How are those kids doing in school?"
Zhang Liang frowned and said, "Only one has some talent."
Su Le nodded, "Alright, there's nothing we can do if we don't have talent. You three can take turns to rest then."
Zhang Liang nodded.
Xu Jiaojiao sat beside him, listening quietly to the reports and learning Su Le's management style.
Su Le asked, "Is there anyone applying?"
Everyone shook their heads. "One or two people came to ask questions, but when they saw we were all grown men, they only asked a few questions and then nothing more."
Su Le frowned, his feudal ideas still deeply ingrained. He turned to Jiaojiao and said, "We have bicycles at home, a supply and marketing cooperative, and these stores. We'll have to run them for a day or two. Let's wait and see."
Xu Jiaojiao nodded, "Okay. Tomorrow I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to keep an eye on things, and then go to the milk tea shop in the afternoon."
Su Le said, "Then I'll be in the clothing store in the morning and in the restaurant in the afternoon. I'll open a new store after I find a new hire."
Xu Changsheng handed the money collected from various stores to Xu Hu, who put it in the cash box.
The meeting ended just like that. Xu Jiaojiao remembered that her uncle had a daughter who worked in a cloth factory. "Le Le, I have a cousin who works in a cloth factory now. I'll see if I can recruit her. I'll go over there later."
Su Le actually didn't like having relatives in the company, as it was bound to lead to arguments. He said to Xu Jiaojiao seriously, "Jiaojiao, let me make this clear first. If she's willing to come, her salary will be about the same as an employee's. She won't get any special privileges just because she's your cousin."
Xu Jiaojiao was also a smart person and understood it immediately. "Don't worry, if you make a mistake, I'll treat you all the same and I won't interfere."
Seeing Su Le nod, Xu Jiaojiao turned around and pulled Xia Le, ready to leave. Xia Le said, "Jiaojiao, don't visit anyone at night. If you have to go, go early tomorrow morning."
Xu Jiaojiao obviously didn't care about these rules now. "Mom, my cousin has to go to work this morning. How can I ask her?"
Xia Le frowned, not wanting to go. But seeing Xu Jiaojiao's expression, he had no choice but to follow her and hurriedly walked to a self-built house.
The aunt in the courtyard saw them and asked coldly, "Why are you here?"
Xia Le's eyes turned cold. Xu Jiaojiao stepped forward and asked, "Aunt, is cousin Xia Xue home?"
Xia Xue came out when she heard the noise, "Cousin, what's wrong?"
Xia Qianshan sat in the yard, wiping his glasses attentively.
Xia Le pulled Xu Jiaojiao and said straight to the point, "Jiaojiao knows a friend who plans to open a store and needs to recruit some employees."
Xu Jiaojiao didn't understand why her mother was talking about someone else, and continued, "Cousin, I came here just to ask you, do you want to go?"
Xia Xue looked at Xia Qianshan next to her and asked, "Jiaojiao, how much is the salary?"
Xu Jiaojiao said, "Thirty-five a month."
My aunt snorted, "That's not even a guaranteed salary. Xiaoxue will soon be promoted to team leader, with even more benefits. She'll have a stable job."
Xia Le grabbed Xu Jiaojiao and said, "Okay, then we won't bother you anymore." Then he turned and left.
