In cities with physical "Shrimp King" stores, the eponymous seasoning packets are easier to market, relying primarily on word of mouth. Housewives have a plethora of options on supermarket and grocery store shelves, so winning their approval is a challenge.
Xie Qian nodded, "Qin Jiao is really capable."
Wen Ying pushed Xie Qian into the store.
The two of them were just consumers, but they didn't expect that Yang Xi was at the Jiaotong University store today.
Yang Xi was stunned when he saw Xie Qian sitting in a wheelchair, and it took him a while to remember to say hello.
"You...why are you here?"
Wen Ying smiled and asked back, "I was just about to ask you, why didn't you tell me you were coming to the Magic City? How long will you stay this time?"
"I can't stay for a few days."
Qin Yi invited Yang Xi to come to Shanghai many times, but Yang Xi couldn't bear to leave his elderly family and stayed firmly in his base in Chengdu.
Seeing Wen Ying, Yang Xi wanted to chat with her: "Do you remember those friends I mentioned before? They were the ones who went to Xiaomei's house during the Spring Festival and threw paint on her. Now they all work at Shrimp King. Some are in Chengdu, and I sent some to Shanghai."
Wen Ying certainly didn't forget.
When Yang Xi called the person out, Wen Ying had an even more vivid memory.
The young man wearing the uniform of the "Shrimp King" was the gangster Xiao Liang who splashed paint and soiled Wen Yingxin's down jacket.
Oh, now you shouldn’t call me Gangster Xiaoliang, now you should call me Kitchen Xiaoliang.
The work clothes are a little big for Xiaoliang, who is thin.
Although he was thin, Xiaoliang looked very energetic. He even bowed politely when he saw Wen Ying.
Wen Ying waved her hands repeatedly, "Oh, no need to be like this, what are you doing!"
Xiao Liang adjusted his chef's hat and said, "Sister Xi, oh no, Manager Yang told us that it was only with your approval that we were able to join Shrimp King. I'm especially grateful to you."
Wen Ying's memory revived.
She didn't actually nod, she just didn't object.
These people were able to enter the "Shrimp King" probably because Yang Xi persuaded the Qin brothers and sisters.
However, Wen Ying did not expose Yang Xi's lie. There must be a reason why Yang Xi said that - if these people knew that Yang Xi's words were so effective in "Shrimp King", they might rely on their old relationship with Yang Xi and not take other supervisors seriously.
Yang Xi gave the credit to Wen Ying, and these people felt a sense of crisis. They knew they had to perform well to stay in "Shrimp King" and they had to perform well to be worthy of Sister Xi's begging for them!
Wen Ying’s memory is indeed good. She still remembers that Yang Xi said that Xiao Liang wanted to “turn over a new leaf” because his girlfriend was pregnant.
"Are you and your girlfriend okay?"
When Xiao Liang mentioned his girlfriend, his face lit up: "It's going well. Our child is already born, but we're not old enough to get married yet. I want to save some money and then have a wedding banquet when we can get the marriage certificate. When we have the wedding banquet, can you come and drink in the wedding wine?"
Xiaoliang was a little scared of Xie Qian.
Although Xie Qian was sitting in a wheelchair and his expression was not fierce, Xiao Liang had a hunch that Xie Qian was a very powerful person.
He is so powerful that he is not even in the same world as Xiaoliang.
Xiaoliang thought, if he were still in society, the person sitting in the wheelchair probably wouldn't even look at him straight in the eye, right?
Wen Ying agreed readily, "Okay, when you get married, ask Sister Xi to let me know. If I'm free, I'll go in person. If I can't be there due to something, I'll ask Sister Xi to bring me a red envelope!"
Wen Ying said she wanted to give Xiao Liang a red envelope, which made him feel embarrassed.
Hey, he really doesn’t want a red envelope!
He just really appreciated it.
Xiaoliang had not received much kindness from others in his life before, so he cherished every bit of kindness.
What's more, Xiaoliang has his current happy life because of his job at "Shrimp King".
The job of "Shrimp King" is not an easy job for Xiaoliang, it gives Xiaoliang new hope in life.
It was almost time for dinner and the kitchen had already started to get busy. When Xiao Liang heard someone calling his name, he didn't bother to say anything else and quickly trotted back.
After Xiaoliang left, Yang Xi took the menu to Wen Ying and the others while talking about Xiaoliang's situation.
Yang Xi suggested that Xiaoliang and the others start working at "Shrimp King" after the Spring Festival this year. At that time, Xiaoliang's girlfriend was already pregnant. Xiaoliang and his girlfriend were not yet of marriageable age, but Xiaoliang did not want his girlfriend to have an abortion, which would harm her health. The two young lovers wanted to have the baby.
It costs money to raise a child.
Xiaoliang couldn't find a proper job and was very miserable.
"The first time he went to his girlfriend's house with gifts, his father-in-law nearly broke his legs. Later, I got him a job at 'Shrimp King'. We have to buy social security for our employees, so when his father-in-law heard about the social security coverage, he thought our company was quite legitimate. Xiaoliang went there every day, despite his father-in-law's scorn, and refused to leave even when scolded or beaten. He rolled up his sleeves every day to help his father-in-law with the work. Even now, his father-in-law still gets angry when he sees Xiaoliang, but his mother-in-law has gradually accepted Xiaoliang. They are not yet of marriageable age, but his girlfriend has already given birth to a child, and for now, his father-in-law and his family are helping to take care of the child. Xiaoliang came to Shanghai to work because the salary here is higher, he can eat and live in the store for free, and he sends his salary back to his girlfriend every month."
