Hearing them say that, Madam Yang didn't say much, but simply took Pei Yao's hand and said affectionately, "Ah Yao, come to Auntie's house for dinner again next time."
Yang had only three sons and had never given birth to a daughter, so she took a special liking to Pei Yao when she saw her.
For a moment, I was still a little reluctant to see Pei Yao leave.
Pei Yao pulled Yang Shi along and repeatedly agreed.
"Brother Qian, these are the restaurant's accounts for the past few days. I've compiled them all. Please take a look."
He Zhanglin took out the account book he had just brought and handed it to Manager Qian.
"Yes," said Manager Qian, reaching out to look through the items. After confirming there were no problems, he put them away.
Pei Yao and He Zhanglin bid farewell to Manager Qian.
After leaving Manager Qian's house, He Zhanglin had other things to attend to, and Pei Yao also returned to Pei's shop, so the two parted ways.
Before leaving, Pei Yao told He Zhanglin about going to Pei Ji's place the next day.
He Zhanglin nodded in agreement.
When Pei Yao returned, it was just as Pei Ji was closing up shop.
Pei Yao helped pack things up and also told everyone that He Zhanglin would be coming to be the manager tomorrow.
Upon hearing this, Chen Fang's face lit up with joy: "Finally, we've found a manager! I can go home and go beachcombing in peace now."
Pei Yao's decision to take over as manager of Pei's shop was not made alone; it had been discussed with her family beforehand.
At that time, Chen Fang and the others ran back and forth between their home and Pei Ji's place every day, leaving early and returning late, which was very tiring.
The idea of hiring a manager for the shop was first proposed by Chen Fang and Pei Dalang.
At the time, Pei Yao and the others also felt that Pei Ji really should find a professional manager to run it.
After all, Chen Fang and Pei Dalang also have their own lives; they can't stay at Pei's place forever.
"However, Aunt, we may need you to take care of Mr. He for a while and let him get familiar with the store environment."
After Pei Yao finished speaking, seeing her aunt's happy expression, she couldn't help but feel happy too.
Pei Dalang, who had been busy in the kitchen, rushed out upon hearing the noise, still holding a burlap sack in his hand: "Yao'er, are you serious?"
Pei Yao replied with a grin, "Uncle, when have I ever lied to you?"
Pei Dalang immediately became happy: "No, no, Yao'er has never lied to me."
"Yao'er, when will Manager He arrive?" Yunniang also missed the days when Chen Fang would stay at home with her every day to go beachcombing and wash clothes at the village entrance, when the whole family was together.
Pei Yao: "I can come tomorrow."
"That's great, the sooner we come, the sooner we'll learn." Chen Fang couldn't hide the smile in her eyes at this moment.
So early the next morning, Chen Fang took Pei Yao and Pei Dalang in a carriage and set off for town.
The three thought they had arrived early enough, but little did they know that He Zhanglin had arrived even earlier.
As Pei Yao and her two companions hurried along the mountain path in the dark, they arrived at Pei Ji's place just as dawn broke. There they saw He Zhanglin already standing with his arms crossed, circling around Pei Ji and studying it.
"Mr. He...?" Pei Yao looked at the figure not far ahead with some uncertainty and asked in confusion.
He Zhanglin turned around and met the bewildered faces of Pei Yao, Chen Fang, and the other two.
"Miss Pei, why did you arrive so early?"
Pei Yao: "..."
Chen Fang: "......"
Pei Dalang: "..."
We should be asking you that, since you seem to have been waiting here for quite some time.
After all, Pei Yao's gaze fell upon the pile of sunflower seed shells at He Zhanglin's feet...
He Zhanglin followed Pei Yao's gaze and also saw the pile of sunflower seed shells.
Realizing Pei Yao's meaning, He Zhanglin panicked and quickly explained, "I really didn't vomit."
When He Zhanglin first arrived, there were actually people who had arrived even earlier than him.
The man, for reasons unknown, was already waiting at the entrance of Pei Ji's shop, cracking sunflower seeds as he waited. What was most infuriating was that he threw the shells at his feet after he finished cracking them.
He Zhanglin tried to stop him several times, saying, "Young master, you mustn't spit out sunflower seed shells."
She still vomited at his feet.
But the other person glanced at He Zhanglin's thin body, curled his lips in disdain, gave He Zhanglin a look that said "mind your own business," and spat a few more sunflower seed shells at him.
He Zhanglin glanced at him expressionlessly, then calmly walked up to him, smiled, rolled up his sleeves to reveal his strong arms, and pressed down hard, causing his muscles to bulge.
He Zhanglin's smile remained gentle: "Young master, I have some knowledge of martial arts. If you still insist on going..."
Before He Zhanglin could finish speaking, the man had already picked up his clothes and walked away.
Only a fleeting glimpse of their backs remained.
He Zhanglin: "..."
He Zhanglin shook his head helplessly at the disappearing figure and put the clothes down.
......
Chen Fang introduced Pei Dalang: "Aunt, Uncle, this is Mr. He, He Zhanglin, whom I mentioned to you yesterday. He will be the manager of Pei's shop from now on."
Chen Fang and Pei Dalang both had satisfied smiles on their faces and nodded slightly to He Zhanglin.
Pei Dalang: "Manager He, Yao'er mentioned you yesterday. I'll have to trouble you to take better care of Pei Ji in the future."
Pei Yao smiled and then introduced them to He Zhanglin: "Mr. He, these two are my uncle and aunt. They were the managers of Pei's shop before."
He Zhanglin greeted her with gentle humility: "Greetings, Master. Greetings, Madam."
After exchanging pleasantries, the group went inside.
Chen Fang and Pei Dalang were both teaching He Zhanglin diligently. He Zhanglin was indeed very smart and experienced.
He had only been there a day when he noticed many problems with Pei Ji's business and offered solutions for each of them.
Not only was Pei Yao surprised, but Chen Fang was also very surprised.
He never expected that He Zhanglin could come up with a perfect solution to the problem that had troubled her for so long in just one day.
Although Chen Fang is intelligent and decisive, and what she has is more than enough for a small stall, she still needs to learn for the long-term development of a large shop.
Even in the morning, He Zhanglin was still getting familiar with the environment with Chen Fang, but by the afternoon he was already able to work independently.
This made Pei Yao sigh: indeed, professional matters should be handled by professionals.
Chen Fang was also very pleased that she could finally rest at home for a while.
Doing business certainly made her feel good, but spending time with her family made her feel more comfortable.
Moreover, Pei Ji's business is so good, and the market for ice jelly is so wide.
It's impossible for Pei's to only open one store.
She couldn't possibly settle down at just this one Pei's restaurant in Meilin Town.
She plans to take a break for a while before returning to learn business management from He Zhanglin.
......
In the days that followed, Chen Fang still went to Pei Ji's shop every day, but she didn't stay there all day like before. Instead, she went in the morning and was home by the afternoon.
The task of delivering lychee wine to the family was also mainly managed by Niu Qingshan.
Now, he and his team are the ones delivering Pei's lychee wine.
