Yan Ling stopped treating Jiang Xin with disdain, because he didn't know how much money Jiang Xin still had.
She actually sold the jewelry she took from the Ye family and was able to buy a house outright. Who knows what other good things she has in her possession.
However, Jiang Xin was being secretive to him, so Yan Ling could only play the long game.
Yanling had absolutely no clue about doing business; he wasn't cut out for it.
After thinking about it for several days, he decided to open a small restaurant.
Food is the most important thing for people. Whether they are ordinary people or high-ranking officials, they all need to eat and drink.
Restaurants are less likely to make mistakes.
But who will cook?
Yanling thought for a moment and realized that his aunt was a good cook and made excellent home-style dishes. Why not let his aunt take over as the chef at his restaurant?
Yanling told his uncle about his plans, hoping that his uncle could persuade his aunt to join his business.
The uncle called his aunt, excitedly telling her about his nephew's plans: "Honey, come back soon! Yanling's restaurant is short-staffed right now. You're his elder, you should support him unconditionally! Let me tell you..."
Beep beep beep...
Her aunt hung up the phone; she didn't want to listen to her husband's nonsense about needing more people—she thought he was just being foolish!
She quit her good job to help Yanling at his restaurant!
You're just working for free! Are you crazy?!
You say such nice things, that you are his elder and should support him unconditionally!
So she's just a tool with no needs!
Being his elder must be incredibly unlucky!
The uncle was still muttering to himself, "Huh, why did the call drop? The signal is so bad!"
Then he dialed his aunt's cell phone number again, and as soon as the call connected, he started babbling on and on: "Why is your signal so bad? The call just dropped!"
I'm telling you, come back quickly! We desperately need your chef! We're family, family shouldn't talk about money. This kid has had it so tough. We should help him! You…”
My aunt's eyes darted around: "Hello, hello, hello! What did you say? My signal is bad, I can't hear you! Hello???"
Beep beep beep...
The call was disconnected again.
Auntie rolled her eyes after hanging up the phone, then called Jiang Han and told her that Yanling was planning to open a restaurant and intended to make her work for free!
Jiang Han was speechless. Her mother was not young, so how come her brother only managed to take advantage of this one person?
She used to serve him at home every day, and now that she's finally free, she's being asked to go back to work for free!
Besides, being a chef is so tiring. My mother is a woman; how can she do heavy work every day?!
Jiang Han forgot her mother's instructions and called her father to give him a lecture.
"How old is my mom? You're not planning to hire anyone, and you're just letting her do everything in the kitchen by herself? Dad, are you trying to work my mom to death? Besides, my mom will retire in a few years, are you trying to make her retire early?"
Have you calculated how much less pension you'll receive if you take early retirement? I don't object to you helping your brother, but broaden your perspective—you could easily enroll in a cooking class. Wouldn't that help your brother too? Besides, Grandpa's health isn't good; he needs Mom's constant care!
When his plan to get something for free failed, Yanling had no choice but to recruit chefs from all over the place.
However, he was quite lucky and managed to snag a very skilled chef.
The chef's name is Kang Pengyi, and he is from out of town.
Kang Pengyi came to Beijing from his hometown to work. As soon as he got off the train, his phone and wallet were stolen. After reporting the theft to the police, the officers offered to pay for his train ticket back home, but Kang Pengyi refused. He wanted to stay in this bustling metropolis.
He has been wandering around looking for work these past few days, believing that with his skills, he can make a name for himself in Beijing.
As a result, he ran into walls everywhere. Famous restaurants didn't value his skills, and he wasn't willing to work at smaller restaurants.
Kang Pengyi was penniless and hadn't eaten for several days. On this day, he collapsed in front of Yanling's restaurant.
The uncle was worried that he would be held responsible if the man fainted in front of their door, so he and Yanling quickly carried him inside and poured him a glass of water.
When Kang Pengyi woke up, he found himself in a restaurant. Judging from the surrounding decor, the restaurant was not yet open for business.
At this point, he had lost all his ambitions; all he wanted was to fill his stomach and survive.
And so, Kang Pengyi stayed at Yanling's restaurant and became the head chef.
