Now that they know Mr. He did not participate in gambling, the whole family finally felt relieved, and the previous gloom was swept away.
I finally got a good night's sleep.
Mr. He was really tired these past two days. He slept soundly and comfortably, and didn't arrive at the fast food restaurant until noon.
Fast food restaurants are crowded and noisy, and most of the customers are acquaintances. It's no secret that Mr. He goes out to play cards and is never home; everyone who knows him has heard about it.
As soon as Mr. He arrived at the fast food restaurant, the people from the Bosi factory who came to pick up their lunches teased him, saying, "Boss He is back! Hey, what happened to your hand? Did your wife chop it up when you came back from playing cards?"
"Go away, how could my wife have chopped it? I just accidentally fell down."
Jiang Dahong laughed and said, "I heard you went to play cards. Damn it, you never come whenever we call you. Now you've gone to play with other people. How was it? Did you win tens of thousands?"
At this moment, He Wenlin chimed in, saying, "You even won tens of thousands? It's good that you won. In just one day, you lost all the money you made from selling vouchers. I don't know where we'll find the money for our monthly payments next month."
"Really?" These people clearly didn't believe it.
Mr. He touched his nose and didn't say anything, which others would see as a guilty acquiescence.
He Wenlin said, "If he hadn't lost everything, would he have come back? Uncles, please don't let him play cards, or I'll flip the table."
Jiang Dahong laughed and said, "You little rascal, you've got your dad under such strict control."
"Who told him to be my dad?"
...
The news that Mr. He had lost tens of thousands of yuan gambling spread quickly.
This is exactly the effect He Wenlin wanted.
There are always people who are envious of the province, and there are always people watching it.
“My reputation is completely ruined,” Mr. He sighed.
“What’s reputation worth? If you care about your reputation, then don’t play anymore,” He Wenlin said. “The card room over there was closed today, the police came by, and Song Bo was taken in for questioning.”
Upon hearing this, Mr. He exclaimed excitedly, "He's also... he has a stake in that card room?"
"I don't know then, I'll ask around later."
"I'll go ask now." He's father took his mobile phone and went to a secluded place to call Liao Jianhai. He returned in a few minutes.
"Have you found out?" He Wenlin asked.
"No, we'll get back to you later. He also needs to inquire about it."
Liao Jianhai was mainly responsible for contacting He's father. Now that He's father has completed his task, Liao Jianhai has returned to his original job. He no longer needs to follow up on this case and naturally doesn't know the follow-up. Moreover, it wasn't his police station that arrested Song Bo.
"Let's eat first. I've made you pork rib and yam soup."
Because of his injury, Mr. He had to avoid certain foods, so he specially made a stew.
He Wenlin then said to Lin Fei, "Brother Fei, my dad is injured and won't be able to cook for at least a week. You'll have to work hard these days. I'll be helping out here in the mornings, but I might not be able to come back to cook in the afternoons."
During this period, the afternoon dishes can be changed to things like egg dumplings, fish pieces, or spicy chicken. The vegetables in the lunchbox can also be replaced with half a braised egg or half a salted duck egg. I will prepare some braised eggs in advance.
With Mr. He injured, he won't be able to cook for a while, which means Lin Fei will have to work harder, and He Wenlin's burden will also be heavier.
Especially now that the winter solstice is approaching, it's peak season for both food factories and frozen products. He Wenlin can't be here all day. The mornings are short, and the factories all close at the same time, so Lin Fei, a cook, definitely can't handle it all.
In the afternoon, the four factories (three large and one small) don't all finish get off work at the same time, so time isn't as tight.
Moreover, Lin Fei can schedule dishes like steamed egg dumplings, braised fish chunks, or spicy chicken for the afternoon.
These kinds of dishes can also be prepared in advance. For example, egg dumplings can be wrapped in advance, and then steamed with chili powder. It saves time and effort. Ruan Jianxin knows how to wrap egg dumplings.
Spicy chicken and braised fish chunks can be quickly stir-fried once the chicken and fish are already fried.
If we remove the vegetables and replace them with eggs, it will be more convenient and quicker, and for customers, eggs are more cost-effective than vegetables.
"I'm going to the food factory now. This afternoon's fast food is pickled pepper konjac, half a salted duck egg, and braised fish chunks. You'll definitely be able to handle it, so I won't come over."
The winter solstice is just around the corner, and He Wenlin is going to visit various supermarkets to check on the displays of frozen products.
“Okay, go ahead and get busy,” said Mr. He. “My left hand is injured, but my right hand is still fine. If I’m really overwhelmed, I can still help out.”
"Alright, thank you everyone for your hard work."
He Wenlin said goodbye to the store's employees and then left.
I took a taxi and went to my second brother's place first.
The shops outside the College of Arts and Sciences are all open now, and Huang Ji reopened yesterday as well.
However, He Wenlin's second store business was not affected, especially Hongrui's. Because Huang Ji had been closed for several days, many workers were afraid to buy his vouchers, fearing that if they bought them, the workers would leave.
Moreover, Hongrui's workers had previously purchased a lot of vouchers from He Wenlin, so they wouldn't be spending them elsewhere anytime soon; they were probably thinking of using up their vouchers first.
Huang Ji can only focus on the liberal arts college now, since there are many people there and some are willing to try their food, but the results are not good.
Because a long time ago, they learned from He Wenlin's method to develop downlines in schools, and some students did indeed bring in orders and sell some vouchers. However, due to the student food poisoning incident, Huang Ji was ordered to immediately suspend business for rectification.
Then, the students who bought their vouchers started demanding refunds. Although the money wasn't refunded in the end, the students who had previously helped Huang's get orders stopped doing it, worried that if the students ate something wrong, they would get into trouble.
Huang Ji had no choice but to start developing new distributors.
It has to be said that Huang Ji's luck has really been a bit bad.
After listening to Peng Liang's report, He Wenlin reiterated the importance of hygiene and the quality of ingredients.
"If the dishes delivered by Boss Liu and Boss Ma are not good, Second Brother should refuse to accept them, or tell me directly. Don't ruin your reputation by being greedy for cheap food."
I've been reborn, so I'll never be poor in this life, no matter what, so there's no need for me to make that kind of dirty money.
However, her second brother is an honest man, and He Wenlin believes that he would not substitute inferior goods for a small benefit.
"That restaurant involved in the incident shouldn't be open yet, right?" He Wenlin asked.
Peng Liang: "That place has already been transferred. I saw it being renovated today. The signboard has been changed. It's a small restaurant now."
The second brother asked, "Linlin, do you want to buy it?"
"I had thought about it before."
He Wenlin initially had this idea, but the people around her hadn't matured yet.
They have strong execution skills, but lack experience and the ability to handle situations, so they gave up. Otherwise, He Wenlin would have gone to discuss the transfer of the business as soon as she learned that the owner had been arrested.
