Tang Li said slowly, "Hongyun was targeted by the daughter of his boss, but he already had a fiancée, so he rejected her. As a result, he was made difficult at work, so he resigned and applied for a job at Baicaotang. He had studied this major, and my position just happened to become available."
Baicaotang offers good benefits, so people generally don't leave voluntarily. Xu Hongyun just happened to be there by chance, as the headquarters happened to be short of suitable personnel to replace Tang Li.
Feng Caixia suddenly realized, looked Xu Hongyun up and down, and teased, "You have the appearance of a fair-skinned scholar, no wonder the girl took a liking to you, but it's not appropriate to force it. Is your fiancée also from Henan Province?"
Su Yan wasn't interested in other people's gossip, so she walked over to the sofa, sat down, and poured herself some tea.
Xu Hongyun glanced at her, then nodded with his ears turning red, "My fiancée works at the post office in Henan Province."
"So you came to Lanzhou, didn't she have any objections?" Feng Caixia laughed after saying that. "With your shy demeanor, you'll easily be bullied in the business world. You should change that as soon as possible."
"I... my previous workplace didn't require me to interact with too many people, and I've always been a rather shy person. I'll change that!" Xu Hongyun said solemnly.
Feng Caixia nodded, said nothing more, and looked at Tang Li, saying, "You guys go ahead with your work. Su Yan and I will wait here for a while. It shouldn't involve any secrets, right?"
Tang Li's lips twitched, and he said irritably, "You overheard this involving classified information, and I believe you, okay? Is Manager Feng satisfied with this answer?"
Feng Caixia chuckled, ignored him, and sat down next to Su Yan.
The two men quickly got to work.
Su Yan tilted her head and said, "Why are you saying so much, Xu Hongyun?"
Feng Caixia tossed her hair and said helplessly, "I can't help it. At my age, I just like to gossip. Actually, I only said a few more words because I liked him."
Actually, she felt that Xu Hongyun was somewhat similar to her son, otherwise why would she be lecturing him for no reason?
Su Yan: "..." Whatever makes you happy.
About half an hour later.
After Tang Li finished speaking, he said, "Go to the guest room and digest this first. If you don't understand something, come and ask me again."
Xu Hongyun responded, then nodded to Su Yan and Feng Caixia before leaving and closing the door behind him.
There were only three people left inside.
Seeing that Tang Li seemed to be in a good mood, Su Yan said, "It seems that Uncle Tang is very satisfied with his new successor."
Tang Li got up and walked over, smiling, "He's alright. He's not particularly smart, but he's diligent and has good character. He's a person with a pure heart."
He's been in this position for over a decade, and he has some attachment to it, so of course he hopes that the person who will succeed him will be a good one.
"When are you leaving?" Feng Caixia asked.
"I'm leaving tomorrow morning; headquarters has sent someone to pick me up."
"Wow! This capable person is different. Headquarters even came to pick you up personally. Are they afraid you'll change your mind again?"
Tang Li's abilities are evident to all at Baicaotang headquarters. If he had accepted the headquarters' invitation a few years ago, Baicaotang's business would probably be even better than it is now. Now that he has finally agreed, the headquarters is naturally eager to help.
"After being cooped up in the city for so many years, I want to go to a big city and see the world. If I don't work hard now, my children will suffer in the future." Tang Li asked, "What about you? When are you leaving? Have you decided on a date?"
"I can leave anytime; I've started sending things over there."
Su Yan suddenly asked, "Are you really comfortable leaving your son here alone?"
Feng Caixia rolled her eyes and said irritably, "That brat can't wait for me to leave so I can get familiar with Guangzhou. When he came to visit me during winter break, he asked me to take him out to play. Do you think that's reasonable?"
When she was young, she was busy with work and didn't pay much attention to her young son, so the relationship between the two of them was not close. Until her ex-husband cheated on her and brought the other woman home. He did that kind of thing in front of her son. Her son didn't want to watch, but the beast slapped him twice and forced him to watch. When the two of them were having a passionate time in bed, she suddenly came home to get some documents and caught them.
Later, she forced that beast to leave with nothing, and she got custody of her son without asking for child support. It was only after the divorce that her relationship with her son slowly recovered.
“I haven’t met your son yet,” Su Yan said. “Playing is a child’s nature. While he’s still a student, it’s good to let him play. Otherwise, when he enters society, where will he have time to play? Don’t let him have any regrets.”
“That kid lives at school and doesn’t come home until Friday,” Feng Caixia said dejectedly. “We’re both kids, but you’re not playful at all and you’re so good at making money. I envy your mother.”
Su Yan said, "...If I had a mother as capable and wealthy as you, I would love to play even more than your son."
Feng Caixia: "..." Never mind what I said.
Tang Li watched the two bicker quietly until they were almost done before speaking: "Ayan, are you free today? I'd like to take you to Lan City to see my wife. Ever since she took your medicinal cuisine and it worked so well, she trusts you completely."
Su Yan thought for a moment and said, "Sure, I don't have anything planned for today."
"Okay, tell your family, we're getting ready to leave."
Feng Caixia also needed to return to the restaurant to work around lunchtime, so naturally she went with them.
Su Yan left Baicaotang alone and arrived at the braised food shop, but couldn't get in.
The store entrance was so crowded that it was impossible to squeeze in.
Inside, Li Juan, Uncle Li, Su Yu, and Guo Changcheng were all extremely busy.
Because Guo Changcheng was helping out, she didn't need to hire any other shop assistants.
"Please line up to buy, don't crowd, to avoid stampedes, which would require compensation for medical expenses!"
As expected, Su Yan's reason instantly quieted the restless crowd, who obediently lined up as she had instructed.
Su Yan quickly ran into the shop, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and asked, "Mom, why is business still so good?"
Li Juan felt a little guilty and avoided looking at her.
Li Yongcheng replied, "Yuzi is back. Aunt Li is so happy that she's giving out discounts. If you buy more than 20 yuan, you get a free duck head and half a jin of vegetables. Business has been booming these past few days. We've sold out 600 jin of braised food, not even including medicinal porridge and other dishes."
Su Yan: "..."
Seeing that her expression had become complicated, Li Juan quickly said, "I've calculated it all. We've earned a third less, but we're definitely not losing money. Our daily profit is even higher than before the discount."
The main problem was that the customers queuing behind them couldn't buy any, and they kept asking Li Juan to make more, otherwise the people behind them wouldn't be able to buy any. Li Juan softened and agreed, and gradually they ordered more and more stock. Xiao Rui's side couldn't supply that much, so their shop bought up all the miscellaneous duck products in the market.
