Chapter 147: Contradicting Wei Yaozu and Getting Married
"If she doesn't have any brains, how can she stay in the company?" Ning Yanjing said, "Wenjun knows how to do it well."
"I'm not worried about the cake shop." Su Xueqing said, "It's not our family's cake shop. I just think that Wenjun is at an age where she might fall in love and get married."
Su Xueqing was worried about her daughter. Marrying is a lifelong thing for a woman. Su Xueqing didn't know what kind of person Ning Wenjun would bring back. How could a mother not worry? Su Xueqing knew that it was useless to worry too much. The most important thing was to see what Ning Wenjun would choose.
On the morning of a new day, Ning Wenjun went personally to tell Tian Caixia that the company's contract would not be renewed after it expired, and that the company wanted to recruit a professional pastry chef.
"Hiring people?" Tian Caixia had been worried that the Ning family's company would not renew the contract, but she did not expect that this day would come so soon.
"Yes, we are already recruiting. This is the decision made by the company after discussion." Ning Wenjun said, "It's not just my decision. What they said does make sense. It's convenient and quick to hire people directly. Our company has a lot of employees, so it's better to have a dedicated pastry chef."
"Yes, indeed." Tian Caixia nodded, "It's good to have a dedicated person."
"Our company is like this. For other companies, it depends on the size of the company. Some companies have a lot of people, and they may hire people to do it." Ning Wenjun said, "Now more and more companies pay attention to employee benefits. The benefits of some private companies are not bad at all."
Not all private companies hire chefs to make pastries. Most of them hire chefs who are good at cooking. Pastries are not a must. The pastry chefs hired also need to prepare breakfast, which has a lot of pastries.
If employees don’t have breakfast at home, they can go to the company canteen to eat. The company canteen not only serves steamed buns and steamed bread, but also a variety of other foods.
After the personnel department made their suggestions, Ning Wenjun read the documents and listened to what those people said, and she agreed. Ning Wenjun knew that this was because of her relationship with Tian Caixia, so those people specifically told her.
This kind of thing is not a big deal, those people should ask Ning Wenjun first, so that Ning Wenjun will not disagree and then tell Ning Yanjing. Those people in the workplace are all smart, they all know how to handle things best.
"After the contract expires, it will not be renewed. When you purchase materials, take a look at the situation." Ning Wenjun said, "Don't buy too much at once."
"Those things can be kept for a long time. It doesn't matter. The weather is getting cold again." Tian Caixia said, "There is still a one-month buffer period in between, which is not bad."
Tian Caixia smiled. She couldn't blame Ning Wenjun for her mistakes. She knew that some companies hired chefs to make cakes and other things for afternoon tea. Tian Caixia had a hunch that something else might happen to Ning Wenjun, and sure enough, it happened.
With orders from big companies, you can make a lot more money in a month.
Tian Caixia was reluctant to give up the money, but she had no choice but to agree. It was inappropriate to force others to make money.
After Ning Wenjun finished talking to Tian Caixia, she left. As soon as Ning Wenjun left, Tian Caixia's sister-in-law came. Tian Caixia's sister-in-law was called Ma Ling. Ma Ling didn't have a job. She often came to Tian Caixia's store to help out, and Tian Caixia gave Ma Ling some money.
"Why is she here?" Ma Ling asked, "Didn't she withdraw her investment?"
Ma Ling heard from her mother, and her mother asked these people to withdraw their investment. Ning Wenjun's two brothers also withdrew their investment. Now the cake shop belongs to Tian Caixia. It's a pity that the shop needs rent, and the shop doesn't belong to Tian Caixia.
"They are withdrawing their investment," Tian Caixia said. "The contract between their company and our store is about to expire, so she came to tell me so that I can prepare."
"The contract has expired?" Ma Ling opened her eyes wide. "Isn't she deliberately making things difficult for you?"
"No, she's not deliberately making things difficult for me." Tian Caixia said, "Their company is so big, they need a lot of things. It's better for them to hire people to do it themselves, and they can make more styles, and the price is cheaper, so they can control the cost."
"If you don't want to do business with their company, then don't do it." Ma Ling said, "It's not like this store won't be able to continue."
"It can continue," Tian Caixia said, "but we can't make that much money."
Tian Caixia sighed, "But I don't have to share the profits with others, it's not too little."
Labor costs are basically fixed, and Tian Caixia's cake shop doesn't employ many people. If there are fewer orders, it's not certain whether so many people will be needed to make cakes. If so many people are not needed, then layoffs will be made.
Tian Caixia was thinking about looking for new orders, but new big orders were not easy to find.
"They've gone too far. They withdrew their investment and did this on purpose," said Ma Ling.
“……”Tian Caixia was silent.
"Didn't you say that she is going to inherit the company? She will be the boss of the company in the future. How can't she decide such a small matter?" Ma Ling said.
"She came to tell me in person, which shows that she respects me very much." Tian Caixia couldn't say that Ning Wenjun did anything wrong, because it was the people on her side who didn't do well.
The in-laws thought that if they let those people withdraw their investment, they would be able to make more money. How could that be possible? The reason why their cake shop was so successful was not only due to Tian Caixia herself, but also to others.
As expected, I am only suitable to be an ordinary person and open an ordinary cake shop. Don't think about making more money from the cake shop.
When Su Yanan learned that Ning Wenjun personally went to talk to Tian Caixia about the termination of the cooperation, she was not surprised. People didn't need to place orders with Tian Caixia's cake shop in the first place, but they signed the contract just to take care of the business in the cake shop. The contract has expired, and the cake shop can survive without that order now, so there is really no need to renew the contract.
"It doesn't matter if the contract is not renewed. Caixia still thinks that is her own ability." Su Yanan said.
Su Xueqing said this when Su Yanan came to Su Xueqing's place to take flowers to sell.
Father Su was still alive, so the money in the retirement account had to be kept. Su Yanan still came from time to time to get flowers, sell them, and then deposit the money into the account.
"When Wenjun told me about this, I let her make her own decision," Su Xueqing said. "She wants to be in charge of the company, and she can't be accused of being too partial. The cake shop only makes a few dollars, and the company will belong to Wenjun sooner or later. She can't give up the company for the cake shop. Besides, she doesn't have any shares in the cake shop anymore."
Su Xueqing said it bluntly. She supported Ning Wenjun's move. "There is still a month left, and Caixia can also look for new orders. Didn't Caixia say before that there were too many orders and sometimes she couldn't handle them? It's just right. Take advantage of this time to find some suitable orders."
"Let her find it herself." Su Yanan said, "I don't care. Her in-laws are afraid that we will covet the cake shop, so Caixia's two brothers have withdrawn their shares. Shanshan wanted to invest, but she didn't because of her brother. Caixia has already returned the money to Shanshan."
The cake shop now belongs to Tian Caixia, and she can manage it however she wants.
"Caixia's sister-in-law is working in a cake shop." Su Yanan said, "She said that her sister-in-law didn't have a job and it was hard to find a job, so she went to work in a cake shop first. I think her sister-in-law is not unable to find a job, but she has to go to the cake shop to watch. Caixia is really, just letting her sister-in-law go. I used to say that Caixia is smart, but now I don't think she is that smart. When a woman gets married, it is always easy for her to side with her husband's family."
"Didn't Caixia ask her sister-in-law to find another job?" Su Xueqing was surprised.
"No." Su Yanan said, "Her mother-in-law said that her sister-in-law works for her and is not easily wronged. She also said that she would have to hire someone anyway, so she might as well hire her sister-in-law."
“……” Su Xueqing was silent.
"Her sister-in-law went to the store. Sometimes she didn't do anything but just sat there and ate." Su Yanan said, "Fortunately, Caixia made it herself, so the cost won't be too high."
"If you eat it a few times, you won't like it anymore." Su Xueqing said.
"When I went there, Caixia's sister-in-law was always eating." Su Yanan said, "She didn't always eat the same thing. I was embarrassed to say anything to her. Was she going to work? She was eating at the snack buffet. She ate so much without considering how much she was paid. By the way, Caixia paid her the same salary as others. Her sister-in-law went there less time, but she still wanted so much salary."
Su Yanan complained, "I asked Caixia to give less, but she said there was no need to bother about that little money. Just give it, it will save a lot of trouble. What else can we do? We can only let her do whatever she wants. We are her family, not her in-laws. We can't interfere with her relationship with her in-laws."
"If Caixia is willing, then forget it." Su Xueqing said, "Sometimes giving a little money can solve the problem, which is really good."
"Caixia doesn't have a lot of money, but she still does this." Su Yanan said, "When she was looking for someone to invest, no one else participated in the management, so she managed it herself. Now, she is married, and she let her sister-in-law go over. Caixia is pregnant again. If she gives birth to the child, she won't be able to do anything..."
Su Yanan thought that it would be difficult to deal with if Tian Caixia's sister-in-law and others were in the store.
"It would be better not to let her sister-in-law go to work, and just give her a sum of money every month." Su Yanan said, "But if we give this sister-in-law a sum of money, what about the others? Do we have to give money too?"
"Caixia will handle it, you don't have to worry." Su Xueqing said, "Caixia is married and has her own small family. She knows how to handle it herself and doesn't need people like us to help her. As for Wenjun, I also let her make her own decision."
Su Xueqing didn't participate in the decision-making of things she didn't understand, and she didn't make things difficult for her daughter. Even if they were her own sisters or nieces, Su Xueqing would never make things difficult for her daughter because of these people. Her daughter was much more important than these people, and Su Xueqing could clearly tell who was closer to her and who was farther away from her.
"We are old, so we should mind our own business and not annoy the younger generation." Su Xueqing said. "So, I am just talking and not caring." Su Yanan said, "How can I care so much? If I care too much, others will think that I am not doing well and it is my problem. Caixia is caught in the middle of her husband's family and her own family. If I say those things, it will embarrass Caixia."
"We are fine, nothing happened. Third brother and the others don't blame Caixia. Caixia is married now, and many things are indeed different from before. We can't always deal with those things with the same perspective as before."
"You should be open-minded." Su Yanan said.
"It's not a question of whether we want to open it or not, this is a fact." Su Xueqing said, "We care so much, and the children are not happy, how can we be happy?"
At the end of the year, Wei Yaozu found a girlfriend. The woman was from the country, not from the city. She was also hired by Amelia Su to help in the store. Amelia Su was not satisfied and wanted Wei Yaozu to break up with the woman. There was no way Wei Yaozu would break up with the woman, so Wei Yaozu got married with the woman directly.
When Amelia Su bought the house, her name and her son's name were on the property title. Amelia Su didn't dare to write only Wei Yaozu's name at the time, for she was afraid that she would be kicked out one day. Wei Dashan was gone, and Amelia Su was afraid, so she wrote her own name.
When Amelia Su learned that Wei Yaozu had obtained a marriage certificate with someone else, she was particularly unhappy.
"Mom, what are you unhappy about? Keke didn't ask for a betrothal gift." Wei Yaozu said, "She was even willing to sell breakfast with me."
Wei Yaozu admired Wang Keke's ability, but he himself was not that capable. It was hard to sell breakfast, but he had to do it. Wei Dashan was gone, Amelia Su went to knead the dough, and Wei Yaozu had to go to buy goods, so he had to get up early.
"I get up so early in the morning and have to go back to sleep in the afternoon, so I don't have time to date others." Wei Yaozu said, "Do you think those girls are willing to marry me? Mom, can you be more sensible? In a few days, Keke will move in with us. She is my wife, we have obtained a marriage certificate, and she is my legal wife."
Amelia Su looked down on Wang Keke. What was so good about a country person? Amelia Su wanted Wei Yaozu to marry a city person. Amelia Su thought that city people were better and country people were not good. Country people said they didn't want a betrothal gift, but they actually wanted a city hukou, and they also wanted Wei Yaozu to use money to help Wang Keke's family in the future.
"If I don't agree, how can you get the certificate?" Amelia Su said, "Can't you wait a while? Your dad has only been gone for a short time, others will say something about you."
"What are you talking about me?" Wei Yaozu said, "Keke and I won't have a wedding yet. Keke will come with me. We can open the stall together, and you won't have to complain about your hands hurting all the time. When you were making breakfast, Keke tried hard to learn."
"..." When Amelia Su hired Wang Keke to do things, she did it in front of Wang Keke, and Wang Keke got the hang of it quickly. Amelia Su thought Wang Keke was quite diligent at the time, and it was a good deal to let Wang Keke do things with such a low salary.
But now, Amelia Su didn’t think it was a good deal, she just felt that she was cheated by Wang Keke.
Wang Keke is a country girl, and she knows that not everyone can own a house in South City. Wei Yaozu used to be a demolition household, and he lost money in stock trading. Wei Yaozu no longer dares to trade stocks, and is now willing to work down to earth. Wang Keke feels that she has made a good choice of Wei Yaozu. She is a country girl with no diploma. If she goes to find those rich people, they will not look down on her. It is better to choose Wei Yaozu.
The reason why Amelia Su hired Wang Keke was because Wei Yaozu was not that capable, and the business of the mobile breakfast stall was okay, so Amelia Su asked Wang Keke to do things. Now, Amelia Su regretted her original decision. Wang Keke knew that Amelia Su was not satisfied with her, so what.
The most important thing is that Wei Yaozu is satisfied with Wang Keke. What Wei Yaozu needs is someone to help her take on more responsibilities. Amelia Su is old and has a lot to say. Wei Yaozu had other girlfriends and children before. If Amelia Su was really good, Wei Yaozu would not be with Wang Keke. Wei Yaozu had already been with other women under Amelia Su's arrangement.
"Mom, you are so old, why do you care so much?" Wei Yaozu said, "You used to say that grandma is not good, but I think you are the one who is not good."
“I’m not good?” Amelia Su couldn’t believe that these were words her son said. She thought she had done a good job.
"Are you okay? Don't you know what's going on? Grandma died in front of the breakfast shop." Wei Yaozu said, "Others say this is retribution for our family. You didn't do well and you were not filial to grandma."
“Retribution…” Amelia Su was stunned.
"Clean up the room. It doesn't matter if you don't want to do it. Coco can do it." Wei Yaozu said.
Wei Yaozu turned and left, he was going to pick up Wang Keke. Wang Keke rented a house, she shared it with others, because she moved out before the New Year, the house was not easy to sublet, so she had to pay one more month's rent, and after deducting one month's rent, she returned the remaining deposit. Wei Yaozu felt that Wang Keke had a very hard time, Wang Keke was a country girl who came to the city, she worked very hard.
Wang Keke is willing to work with Wei Yaozu, and Wei Yaozu really thinks it's a good thing. Wei Yaozu's biological father, Wei Dashan, is a countryman, so what if Wang Keke is a countryman? Countrymen just need to work hard.
Wei Yaozu and Wang Keke got married. Among the brothers and sisters of the Su family, Su Xueqing was the first to know about it. Su Xueqing only found out after Wang Keke moved to Su Yamei's house. Wei Shanshan found out when she went to Su Yamei's house. She went to Su Xueqing's house and told Su Xueqing.
"She moved in." Wei Shanshan said, "I think she is a very capable person. She cleans the house inside and out and cleans the kitchen very well. But my mother is not satisfied with her. She also said that I don't introduce Wei Yaozu to a girl. I am speechless. How can I introduce Wei Yaozu to a girl? He is too unreliable. If I introduce him to a girl, I will harm others."
"It's good that you're married. At least your brother is willing to work now." Su Xueqing said, "It's much better than before."
Wei Yaozu used to receive the demolition compensation, but he had high expectations and low skills, and he thought he was great. Wei Yaozu did not have a full understanding of himself, which led to the subsequent incidents. If Wei Yaozu had a full understanding of himself, those incidents would not have happened.
"That's what I told my mom too." Wei Shanshan said, "I asked my mom not to talk about my sister-in-law, but she insisted. She also disliked that my sister-in-law was older than Yaozu. Not much older, just about three years older. My sister-in-law is capable and can endure hardships. She can let Yaozu work with her, how great is that."
"It's really good." Su Xueqing said.
"My sister-in-law was in the kitchen, and my mother was in the living room saying some unpleasant things." Wei Shanshan said, "It's really too much, not just a little bit too much."
Wei Shanshan couldn't listen any more, so she left. Wei Shanshan really didn't know what her mother was thinking. Her mother would have to rely on her younger brothers and sisters in the future. Wei Yaozu listened to Wang Keke now, and he would probably do the same in the future.
Amelia Su offended Wang Keke at this time, and Wang Keke would definitely remember it. Amelia Su can still help with some things now. If Amelia Su can't help with things, see how Wang Keke treats Wei Shanshan.
Wei Shanshan couldn't tell Amelia Su these words directly, for fear that Wang Keke would hear them. Amelia Su treated her as a mother-in-law, and she really said whatever she wanted, without considering Wang Keke's face at all. Wang Keke and Wei Yaozu had already obtained a marriage certificate, and Wei Yaozu could not divorce Wang Keke. Wei Yaozu himself was not a very filial person, so how could he consider Amelia Su? He would only consider his wife.
"I'm not surprised if my sister-in-law treats her badly in the future, since she's like this." Wei Shanshan said, "My mother is a person who has her own ideas. It's useless to say anything to her."
"If you can manage it, then manage it. If you can't, then forget it." Su Xueqing said.
The relationship between Amelia Su and Amelia Su had already collapsed, and it was impossible for Amelia Su to care much about Amelia Su.
It was almost the New Year, and someone from Wang Keke’s hometown called. Amelia Su, standing next to him, said, “Is it that important? You have to make such a long call. Isn’t the phone bill money?”
"Those are my family." Wang Keke was speechless.
When Wang Keke was hired by Amelia Su, she knew that Amelia Su was not easy to get along with, so what. There is still a big difference between being a subordinate and being a daughter-in-law. Wang Keke can mix the fillings and knead the dough by herself. She has done those things before. Wang Keke is not afraid of offending Amelia Su. Even if Amelia Su does not go out to work, she, Wang Keke, can go out to work by herself. For Wei Yaozu, Amelia Su still has to work. If she doesn't work, she will just wait for Wei Yaozu to give her a cold look.
Anyway, Wang Keke couldn't be good to Amelia Su now. If Amelia Su didn't give her a good face, why should she be good to Amelia Su? Amelia Su was not a good person. Her biological mother died in front of her breakfast shop. Wang Keke heard it from Wei Yaozu.
Wei Yaozu dared to tell Wang Keke everything and did not hide anything. If Wang Keke investigated on her own, she might not be able to find out so many things.
“Family members, just say a few words, why say so much.” Amelia Su said, “It costs money.”
"It's New Year's Day, what's wrong with spending some money?" Wang Keke said.
“You…I’m your mother-in-law, can’t I say it?” Amelia Su said.
"What era is this? You're still using your status as a mother-in-law to pressure me." Wang Keke rolled her eyes, "Stop being so arrogant."
When Wei Yaozu came back, Amelia Su told Wei Yaozu that Wang Keke was not nice to her. Wei Yaozu asked, "Mom, are you talking about Keke again? Didn't I tell you not to talk about Keke? Keke is a member of this family. We are going to live together. Can't you say less?"
“You’re still talking about me?” Amelia Su stared at Wei Yaozu.
Wei Yaozu didn’t feel anything, and didn’t feel guilty. Wei Yaozu didn’t even want to pay attention to Amelia Su, but walked to Wang Keke and said, “Not many people have bought breakfast these days. Let’s take a few days off and sell breakfast again around the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. It’s just right, so we can take a break.”
"Okay." Wang Keke had no objection. It was indeed good to take a proper rest.
Mainly because during the New Year holidays, many people went back to their hometowns in the countryside. Some people in the city did not get up in the morning, did not go to buy breakfast, and went straight to lunch. If Wei Yaozu had not said it, Wang Keke would have said it.
“Do you still need to rest?” Amelia Su said, “If there are few people, Coco and I can just go and sell breakfast.”
Amelia Su meant that Wei Yaozu would rest at home, and she and Wang Keke would go to sell breakfast together. Amelia Su wanted to work like a cow and a horse for Wei Yaozu, and she also wanted Wang Keke to follow her and work like a cow and a horse for Wei Yaozu.
"You go if you want to go. I won't go." Wang Keke said, "Nowadays people like to rest during holidays. Fewer people buy breakfast on weekends than from Monday to Friday."
Wang Keke didn't want to work so hard when not many people were buying breakfast. It was not worth it to work so hard without making much money. If the money was too little, it would be better to take a good rest and go out to set up a stall when more people were around.
"People are not made of steel. They need to rest." Wang Keke said.
“Yaozu, look at the wife you married.” Amelia Su pointed at Wang Keke.
"Keke is right." Wei Yaozu said, "There's a saying that goes, 'If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. We're taking a break now so that we can set up the stall later."
“…” Amelia Su was furious, “You are just standing on your wife’s side.”
"What she said is not wrong." Wei Yaozu said.
“She’s not wrong yet? She’s not wrong, am I wrong?” Amelia Su said.
"Mom, please stop being so unreasonable, okay?" Wei Yaozu said, "If you do this, people will think you are a bitch."
“Me? A shrew?” Amelia Su was sad.
Wei Yaozu didn’t care whether Amelia Su was sad or not, he went to help Wang Keke do things.
Amelia Su wanted Wang Keke to do those things alone, so Wang Keke asked Wei Yaozu to help, and Wei Yaozu went over.
“You are a grown man, can’t you let Wang Keke do things? There is no stall now.” Amelia Su said.
"When dad was alive, he also helped you with things." Wei Yaozu said.
“…” When Amelia Su thought of Wei Dashan, she felt that Wei Dashan died too early. If Wei Dashan died later, it would be fine. With Wei Dashan around, she would not be bullied by her daughter-in-law.
Wang Keke knew that Amelia Su had a bad relationship with the Su family, so she didn't think about helping Wei Yaozu repair this relationship. Even if they wanted to repair this relationship, it depended on whether others were willing.
Tian Caixia's cake shop ended its cooperation with the Ning family's company. Tian Caixia looked for other orders, but she couldn't find such a large order from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. With these orders, the cake shop could make more profit. If it only wanted those individual investors, it would not be impossible to make money, but the profit would be too little.
Business during the Chinese New Year was OK, not too bad, but if you really calculate it, without the big orders, the profit in the following months was much less. Since there was no one else to share the profits, Tian Caixia could indeed make a little more. If there were other people to share the profits, the profits would be much less than before.
"It's better not to share the profits with others." said Tian Caixia's husband.
Tian Caixia was calculating the profits in the room. Her husband Ma Ping found out and thought it was a good idea as he could make more money.
"What do you mean by others? They are my brothers and sisters." Tian Caixia said, "Your mother had to make such a fuss. If she hadn't done that, maybe we wouldn't have lost the big order. We not only lost the big order from my cousin's company, but also from other companies. Some people just like to follow the trend and terminate the contract."
Some companies did not terminate the contract, but their scale was too small.
Tian Caixia understood what Ning Wenjun said. Private enterprises, especially those with a large number of employees, have their own canteens and can hire chefs to cook in the canteens without having to order from outside. As for small enterprises, some companies are reluctant to provide employees with good welfare policies and do not buy these foods for their employees.
Cakes, bread and other things are expensive in themselves, and the cost is there, so they can't sell them too low. If they sell them too low, people will think their products are not good.
"If you throw it away, then throw it away. You can make more money and work less, isn't that good?" Ma Ping said, "You should have opened your own store in the beginning, it would have been much better."
"I opened my own shop, will you give me money?" Tian Caixia said, "You talk so easily, without considering my life or death. I don't have that much money, so I can only borrow money from my brothers and sisters and ask them to invest. Without them, the cake shop can't be established, and if it can't be established, it's their fault."
"At least we make more money." Ma Ping said.
"You still say I don't work too hard, but how can I not work too hard?" Tian Caixia said, "I have to worry about the orders. Will other people stop wanting things from our store and instead order things from other stores? Some companies haven't signed contracts with us, but we only deliver the things they say they want us to deliver the day before."
Tian Caixia also has to maintain her relationship with her customers and not let them feel that they are useless.
"You don't own a cake shop, so how would you know what's going on here?" Tian Caixia said, "You think we can make more money if we don't let Wenjun and the others invest, just dream on. With Wenjun and the others, we can relax a little. Although we have to make more things, we have the master to do them."
Tian Caixia feels a little regretful now, but there is nothing she can do.
"I'm pregnant again and I have to give birth to the baby when the time comes. I won't have time to run the cake shop." Tian Caixia said.
"Let my sister go, she is familiar with that place..."
"Your sister did go there. She sat there and ate a lot every day." Tian Caixia said, "She also told me that when others saw her eating, they would think the food was delicious and would buy more. Others didn't buy anything yet, but she ate so much. It's really..."
Tian Caixia thought her sister-in-law was a pig. She kept eating, eating non-stop, as if she had never eaten those cakes and egg tarts. At first, Tian Caixia thought her sister-in-law would stop eating after a few days, but it turned out that she would eat whenever she came. She either said she didn't eat breakfast or she didn't eat lunch.
Since her sister-in-law said so, Tian Caixia couldn't stop her from eating. If she didn't let her sister-in-law eat, others would say she was stingy. No one else had invested in the store, it was Tian Caixia's own store, and Tian Caixia couldn't say that the shareholders were unhappy if her sister-in-law ate something.
"She has a small stomach and can't eat much." Ma Ping said.
"Bread itself is very small. If you pinch it, a large piece becomes a small ball." Tian Caixia said, "I see she is a big eater. If I were not here, I don't know how much she would eat. We still pay her all the wages, and we don't give her less. Wait, in a month or two, the cake shop will make even less money, lower than when Wenjun and others bought shares."
Tian Caixia had a premonition that even if she tried to save the business, it would not be easy. She could only think that it was back to normal, just like other ordinary cake shops, and that it would not make that much money. Before, their cake shop made more money than many other cake shops, and Tian Caixia even got commissions as the store manager.
If we really count the store manager's commission and profit distribution, Tian Caixia is not getting much more money now than before. If the business is a little bit worse, it will be worse than before. This makes Tian Caixia feel a sense of crisis. She wants to do better, but there is no way to do better.
"No way?" Ma Ping didn't believe it.
"Yes." Tian Caixia said, "I can see the decline. I didn't look for new orders, and your sister sat in the store to eat. How could the store's profit be high? Your sister didn't do anything, but she still wanted that salary..."
Tian Caixia was not very satisfied with her sister-in-law's actions. No matter how dissatisfied she was, there was nothing she could do. Her in-laws felt that her sister-in-law was still young and worried that she would not be able to bear working elsewhere. The mother-in-law even said that Tian Caixia, as a sister-in-law, did not know how to consider her sister-in-law, and asked if they should give the money directly to her, and she would give the money to her sister-in-law.
After hearing what her mother-in-law said, Tian Caixia couldn't say no, nor could she ask her mother-in-law to give money. If Tian Caixia really took money from her mother-in-law to give to her sister-in-law, what would others say about her? The key point is that Tian Caixia knew that her mother-in-law would never give her money, so she would have to give money to her sister-in-law in the end.
Before getting married, Tian Caixia never thought that she would have to face such a situation one day. She originally thought that her husband's family was good. After getting married, her husband's family wanted Tian Caixia to have a good relationship with the Ning family, and at the same time, they hoped that Tian Caixia could get benefits from the Ning family.
After the Chinese New Year, but before the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Ning Wenjun started to get busy again.
Su Xueqing saw that Ning Wenjun was so busy, so she didn't want to bother her daughter too much. Someone asked Su Xueqing what kind of son-in-law she wanted to find. Su Xueqing said that it all depends on Ning Wenjun, and her opinion as a mother doesn't count. It depends on her daughter's opinion as to who will spend her life with her daughter.
No matter how much those people asked Su Xueqing, it was useless. Su Xueqing would not interfere with her daughter's decision unless the person her daughter brought back was really not good enough.
At this time, Yan Yanran was already in college. She relied on her own ability to be admitted to a domestic university. Yan Yanran studied at a university in the south city, and did not go to a university in another province. Yan Yanran wanted to go to the company to help her father. Although she was still in college, she did not have many achievements in college, so she had more time to go to the company.
"Dad, can I go to the company?" Yan Yanran asked her father during dinner one day. "The government doesn't assign jobs to us anymore. We have to find jobs on our own. The school also requires students to do internships before they can get their diplomas."
"It's still early. Let's talk about it when you are a senior." Yan Yichen said, "It's still early. It's very early."
"This..." Yan Yanran didn't think it was very early. She just wanted to go to work at the company early. She looked at her mother.
"Yanran is in college now, she's a little adult now." Xu Ruyun looked at her daughter, "Your dad wants you to enjoy your college life more, so he asked you to wait a while."
"I..." Yan Yanran didn't want to wait, she wanted to enter the company as soon as possible. The reason why Yan Yanran chose a university in the province was to be able to enter the company as soon as possible, but her father didn't let her in, "Dad, is it really not possible?"
"You are still young." Yan Yichen said, "College life is precious. When you graduate, it will be difficult to enjoy the good times in college. When you have time, you can go out to travel and hang out with friends. Transfer money to the card I gave you. If there is not enough money, just tell Dad."
Yan Yanran thought this was not a matter of money. She wanted to speak but was stopped by Xu Ruyun.
Xu Ruyun shook her head at Yan Yanran, telling her not to worry about those things.
"Your father is doing this for your own good." Xu Ruyun picked up some food for Yan Yanran, "Enjoy your wonderful campus life."
Seeing her mother's attitude, Yan Yanran could only shut her mouth and eat.
After dinner, Yan Yanran went to find her mother, "Mom, why doesn't Dad want me to go to the company?"
"Don't you see?" Xu Ruyun took her daughter to her room and talked. She locked the door. "Your father is on guard against you. Your elder brother is studying abroad, and your younger brother is a few years younger than you. Your father is worried that you will compete with your brothers and sisters. Your father's company is to be left to his son, not to his daughter. As for you, don't think too much. If your father gives you real estate, you should take it. If your father gives you money, you should also take it. You don't have to work in the company."
"Didn't you tell me before that I should grow up quickly and go to work in the company?" Yan Yanran didn't understand.
"I originally wanted to let you enter the company first, but your father doesn't want to." Xu Ruyun said, "If we talk too much, your father will be unhappy, so let's talk less. Don't want to join the company first, wait a minute."
"He made me wait after the college entrance examination, he made me wait when I was in my freshman year, and when I was about to enter my sophomore year, he made me wait again, all the way to my senior year. Will my dad still let me join the company when I am in my senior year?" Yan Yanran expressed doubt by comparison.
"By that time, your elder brother Yan Mingde should be back." Xu Ruyun said, "If your elder brother can join the company, you can too."
"Will Dad say to wait until I graduate?" Yan Yanran asked, "When I graduate, he might say that I should go on a blind date and get married."
"..."Xu Ruyun looked at her daughter and thought that this was indeed a possibility.
"I'm not competing for the position of heir, so can't I go in and work?" Yan Yanran said.
"Your father is not on guard against you, he is on guard against me." Xu Ruyun said, "Don't think about joining the company yet, study hard first. If that doesn't work out, then find a suitable person to marry. If your father doesn't let you join the company, then join your man's company!"
"Ning Wenjun from the Ning family..."
"You can't compare with her. It's impossible for your father and I to have only you as our child." Xu Ruyun said, "If I hadn't given birth to a son for your father, your father would have had a child with someone else."
"How could it be?" Yan Yanran was shocked. "Don't you have a good relationship with Dad? How could Dad do something to let you down?"
