...
In the afternoon, He Wenlin returned to the fast food restaurant after school, and her mother arrived right after her.
"Linlin, your aunt said that Xiaokai should come work at the fast food restaurant to learn some skills," said Aunt He.
"Is he here to work, or to learn a trade?" He Wenlin asked.
Aunt He: "What's the difference?"
"Of course there are. They come to learn a trade, and the main purpose is to learn. There is no salary, but they help us with some work and provide us with three meals a day, just like my older brother (He Wenhua).
"He'll come to work and learn on the job. He'll be paid, but we'll teach him cooking skills based on his specific needs."
Mrs. He fell into deep thought; she couldn't be sure which situation it was.
He Wenlin added, "Is it because you see everyone is buying houses that you think fast food restaurants are making a lot of money and want to come here?"
"I think so," Aunt He said in a low voice. "Xiao Jun bought a house, and Li Juan is very envious."
"Our fast food restaurant is already very crowded, if..."
Before He Wenlin could finish speaking, her phone rang. It was Tang Kai calling himself.
"Xiao Kai, what's wrong?"
"Sis, I want to work at the fast food restaurant." Tang Kai was quite direct.
"My mom was just talking to me about this. Do you want to learn cooking skills, or do you want to be like my second brother and Lin Fei? If you simply want to learn cooking skills so you can set up your own stall or open a shop, then come and learn. There's no salary, learning is the main thing, just like my eldest brother. We'll take care of your three meals a day."
"If you want to be like Lin Fei, that's not possible right now. The fast food restaurant is busy right now and doesn't need that many staff. I can't fire anyone else either."
He Wenlin spoke very directly, and there was nothing she was embarrassed to say.
"Doesn't your second brother need anyone either?" Tang Kai asked.
“Business over there isn’t great, he can manage on his own, and he also has He Shan, Peng Liang and Sister Hu to help him out, so he can handle it,” He Wenlin said. “If you want to come, just wait a bit.”
"How long?"
“Who can say for sure?” He Wenlin said. “If a position becomes available for you, and someone else is doing a good job, I can’t just stop them from doing it. I offered you a job here in the first place, but you didn’t want to. My friend, opportunities don’t wait for anyone.”
Tang Kai didn't say anything.
He Wenlin continued, "You're still young, so just keep working hard at the food factory for now. It'll probably only take four or five months."
"Alright."
Although Tang Kai had already guessed this outcome, he was still somewhat disappointed.
Not long after I hung up the phone, Xu Aihua called again to repeat the same thing.
He Wenlin reiterated that the fast food restaurant wasn't short of staff and asked Tang Kai to wait patiently.
From a business perspective, He Wenlin couldn't possibly send an idle person to collect a salary; her money didn't grow on trees.
Moreover, she had advised him to learn cooking, but he thought that setting up a stall would make money faster. He Wenlin had already done more than enough.
Seeing that He Wenlin had hung up the phone, He's mother said, "Your aunt is definitely angry."
“I don’t agree with him being angry. My money doesn’t grow on trees. The shop doesn’t need more people right now. If he doesn’t want a salary and comes to learn on his own, I’ll provide him with food and lodging. I’ll accept the waste of ingredients. But he wants a salary, to learn a skill, and to have food and lodging provided. I’m such a sucker. He was the one who didn’t want the opportunity in the first place.”
He Wenlin felt she had done a good job. Xu Haibo and He Wenhua were learning techniques here, and He Wenlin was responsible for all the wasted ingredients.
During this time, they would help with some things, but He Wenlin also had to provide them with food and lodging. No matter how you look at it, He Wenlin was the one who suffered a loss.
She has been more than good to her relatives and friends.
