Chapter 327
Jiang Fengyi turned around and frowned, "Why are you here again?"
The visitor chuckled and replied, "Brother Jiang, aren't you taking a break today? Why are you back so late? I've been waiting for you for over an hour."
He raised his right hand, which was holding something, and continued, "I brought some good wine and food. Let's have a few drinks."
Jiang Fengyi waved his hand impatiently and said, "No, no, I'm already full at the Su family's and can't eat anything else."
After saying that, he opened the door and walked in. The visitor followed his footsteps and wanted to say a few more words, but the door was closed in his face.
The man frowned, turned and left without saying anything.
But the next day, when Jiang Fengyi returned home from get off work, the man appeared at his door again. Jiang Fengyi didn't greet him, but took out his key and went to open the door.
The newcomer quickly locked his bicycle and followed with a smile on his face: "Brother Jiang, you just got off work and haven't eaten yet? I brought some more..."
"I've eaten. Su Ji's employees have a free meal and eat at the same table with the boss." Jiang Fengyi interrupted him.
The man's face froze for a moment, then he continued with a smile, "That's okay, we can still have a midnight snack. Brother Jiang, you see, I've come to see you so many times, you should at least give me a chance to talk."
This time he learned his lesson. As soon as Jiang Fengyi entered the house, he followed him in, not giving himself the chance to be turned away.
Looking at the visitor who looked like a dog-skin plaster, Jiang Fengyi said helplessly: "Manager Wu, I have already said that I am doing well in Su Ji at the moment and I don't want to change jobs."
Manager Wu persisted, saying, "Every time I bring it up to you, you immediately reject it. Whether or not to change depends entirely on the job's capabilities. These conditions are negotiable! Give me a chance, and we can talk over a drink!"
Jiang Fengyi has been annoyed by Manager Wu's pestering for a while now, so he decided to let him speak today. If he refuses after he finishes speaking, he probably won't come again.
Manager Wu poured wine for Jiang Fengyi and said, "Xiao Jiang, I told you before that my brother is the owner of Lao Wu's food stall. You should know Lao Wu's food stall! It has opened three branches now, and it is already a very famous store!
Last time he accidentally ate the porridge you cooked, and he couldn't forget it. He thought this was a good business and thought about opening a branch specializing in porridge.
"Look at your excellent cooking skills, why don't you just come here and become a chef? I can assign you a few apprentices, wouldn't that be more enjoyable than working for someone else right now?"
Jiang Fengyi stuffed a piece of sausage into his mouth and said, "Manager Wu, I appreciate your kindness. First of all, I am very happy with my job at Su Ji and have no intention of changing jobs.
Next, you will be disappointed if you ask me to be the chef, because the ingredients and seasonings of Su Ji are all made by the boss and his nephew, and I just put the ingredients into the porridge and cook it.
So, if you hire me as a chef, I'm afraid the restaurant will close down before it even opens."
Manager Wu had not expected this to happen and was very surprised. After thinking about it, he said:
"You said you were doing well at Su Ji, but they're so wary of you that they won't even let you get involved in any of these slightly skilled jobs? Aren't they just treating you like an ordinary worker?
Brother Jiang, don't blame Wu Ge for being blunt. As long as his nephew is around, you won't have a chance to make a name for yourself. You can only follow orders from below."
He had originally intended to sow discord, but Jiang Fengyi said nonchalantly, "That's great! I do the work of a laborer and get paid more than a laborer. Why should I step forward? Isn't it tiring to be responsible for so many things?"
He is someone's nephew. It's only right to promote him, as he should be well-off.
As for me, after I finish my work every day, I go home and lie down without worrying about anything. At Su Ji, the salary is high, the food is good, and we often have long holidays during the New Year and other holidays. Why don’t you come and work with me!
Our boss is really nice. I'll introduce you to someone else. Although you can't work in the kitchen, you're good at talking, so you can definitely be a waiter!"
Manager Wu felt that Jiang Fengyi was teasing him. He was the manager of a big store, so how could he work as a waiter in a small store?
He blurted out subconsciously: "Are you kidding?"
Jiang Fengyi looked at him with an extremely sincere look and said, "Of course not! Didn't you say that Su Ji's food is delicious?
"I can eat every day when I come to work, and my salary is higher than other companies. Manager Wu, you should enjoy life to the fullest and not work so hard every day! Look at you now, you have to run around for the boss after work and you can't even take care of your family."
Manager Wu was at a loss for words, secretly cursing Jiang Fengyi for being a man without ambition.
But thinking of his elder brother's great ambitions, he still tried to persuade him: "Brother Jiang, you are only in your twenties, which is the age to strive for success. If you lay a good economic foundation now, you will be able to enjoy life in your old age!
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to season the food. You can learn. Just watch a little today and a little tomorrow, and you’ll learn it, right?
If you bring your skills with you, I can offer you three times the salary you make at Su Ji, and the other benefits will be the same as theirs.
After all, our Lao Wu Food Stall is already established, so we have more room to maneuver than a small Su Ji shop."
"Hey! No, no, no! What I've feared most since I was a child is someone asking me to learn something. Besides, as you can see, I have a car and a house. I've worked at Su Ji for two years and saved a lot of money. There's really no reason for me to work myself so hard."
Manager Wu looked around Jiang Fengyi's house. It was a two-story self-built house where he lived alone. The living room was almost as big as his own suite.
He has a TV, a refrigerator, a washing machine, and a rare three-seater sedan parked there. These conditions are indeed beyond the reach of most people.
He wondered, was Su Ji paying him such a high salary? Or was it just the allowance he received when he retired from the army? None of them made sense!
What he didn't know was that this house was forced upon him by several uncles after he came of age, who said it was for him to use as capital for his wife.
Later, after he returned from the front line, he resold some goods with his friends and made a lot of money in half a year.
But he always felt that this was not what he wanted to do. He wanted to live a peaceful life, have a stable job, and have a group of like-minded friends.
In fact, this is also related to his life experience, which is why he sneaked to the front line despite opposition. He hopes to protect everyone's stable life.
When he started working at Su Ji, integrated into that stable and united small circle, and felt the care and trust that the Su father and daughter gave him like family, he felt that if possible, he hoped to continue working in this warm environment.
