Xia Jin sat on the ground, leaning against the door, covering her face with her hands and crying silently. Xia Jin rejected Gu Jingmo, and at this time Xia Jin's heart was also aching.
Gu Jingmo, who was lying on the sofa outside, looked at Xia Jin who ran back into the house and murmured, "Xia Jin, you can't run away. I won't give up. It doesn't matter if you don't agree now. One day I will make you agree to me. Don't even think about marrying anyone else except me."
The next morning, Xia Jin discovered that Gu Jingmo was missing. Xia Jin thought, "Isn't this just perfect? You rejected him so you knew this would be the result." But there was still a little bitterness in her heart. However, Xia Jin cheered up and thought that it was better this way. She didn't fall too deeply into it. After a long time, she would forget it and wouldn't feel the pain anymore.
Xia Jin finished her breakfast bitterly, closed the door and went to the store. Xia Jin did not see that Gu Jingmo had left a note for her on Gu Jingmo's bed. Gu Jingmo received a temporary task from the team last night and had to leave.
When Gu Jingmo left, Xia Jin was already asleep. He didn't want to wake her up, so he left a note on the bed for her to see when she cleaned up. He didn't expect Xia Jin to be so sad after seeing him leave that she didn't even enter his room. Even until he finished his task and came back, Xia Jin didn't open his room again.
In the kitchen, Xiaohua saw Xia Jin put her hand on the spicy hot pot again, and quickly grabbed her hand and said, "What's wrong, little boss? This is the third time you put your hand there. If you are too tired, just go and rest. I can do this myself."
Xia Jin smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a little tired. I'll just go out and take a rest."
Xia Jin spent a week in this absent-minded state. Suddenly, a heavy snow fell this weekend, and the entire city was covered in white. Xia Jin stood under the eaves, watching the falling snow, thinking about everything that had happened in the past week, and warned herself: "Xia Jin, this is your own decision. You rejected him yourself. Everything is your own decision. Who are you trying to show this listless look to? Next, you need to cheer up. Since you are afraid that men will betray you, then work hard to make money. Money will not betray you."
Xia Jin buried Gu Jingmo deep in her heart, as if this person had never appeared in her life. Xia Jin found two houses facing the street, which were introduced to her by Chen Xin. Chen Xin complained that her store was too far from her home and she had to run a long way every time she ate. She jokingly asked Xia Jin if she could open a store near their home. Xia Jin wanted to develop his career, so he told Chen Xin that he also wanted to, but he didn't have a house.
The next day, Chen Xin brought Xia Jin some good news: two houses on their street were for sale. Upon hearing this good news, Xia Jin quickly looked at the houses, completed the formalities, and paid the money.
This time, Xia Jin plans to open a hot pot restaurant and a malatang restaurant. Both restaurants have good locations and a large flow of people around them. The only downside is that they are too close to the Xia family's home.
Xia Jin spent a total of nearly 6,000 yuan on the two houses this time. The main reason was that the area of the store Xia Jin planned to use to open a hot pot restaurant was a bit large. Originally, Xia Jin only wanted to buy one house, but after taking it and seeing it, he immediately thought of opening a hot pot restaurant, so he bought both houses together.
Xia Jin handed the renovations over to Tian Hao and drew a simple design for them. Xia Jin also ordered custom tables and chairs for the hot pot restaurant in advance. During the renovation of the new restaurant, Xia Jin encountered a problem: recruiting staff.
Most of the old store couldn't be moved, and it wasn't safe for women to travel so far home at night. So Xia Jin wanted to recruit a group of people to train them in the store before they started working.
Xia Jin raised the salaries of everyone in the old store. Except for Aunt Cuihong, who was the store manager and had her salary raised by 100, Aunt Liu, Sister Xiaohua, and Liu Zhonghua all worked twelve hours a day and Xia Jin raised their salaries by 80. The salaries of everyone else were raised by 60.
This salary is enough to cover the salary of two people in the factory. If they are ungrateful and want to betray Xia Jin again, Xia Jin has nothing to say. She has done her best.
Xia Jin wanted to recruit more boys because boys are stronger and can protect everyone when encountering people with bad intentions. When Liu Zhonghua heard that Xia Jin was still recruiting, he found Xia Jin privately and asked, "Do you want veterans? He has several brothers who have retired and are living in the countryside. They have some minor health problems, but they will definitely not affect their work."
Xia Jin said: "As long as you don't cheat or act dishonestly and work hard, everything will be fine." Xia Jin thought that this was also a contribution to the country. These people have done so much for the people. As someone who was protected by them before, I can also help them.
Liu Zhonghua said gratefully, "Thank you, young boss. I'll write to them right away."
Xia Jin said, "How many people are there on your side?"
Liu Zhonghua said: "Six, boss, how many do you need?"
Xia Jin said, "Then take them all. But first, let's make sure their salary isn't the same as yours. They make 40 yuan a month."
Liu Zhonghua said, "Forty yuan is very good. Let me thank the boss on their behalf."
After seeing Liu Zhonghua off, Xia Jin posted a job posting outside the restaurant. Diners coming in and out saw the notice and asked, "Young Boss, what are your requirements for this job?"
Xia Jin said, "Just be hardworking, don't be dishonest, and be clean."
"Boss Xia, you are going to open a new store."
Xia Jin smiled and said, "Yes, everyone is welcome to come and eat then."
"Where is it? I'm not saying you should have opened a branch long ago, but this place is too far from my home."
Xia Jin said, "It's next to the department store and the printing factory."
"Great, that's where my home is."
"My family, too."
After the notice was posted, more than a dozen people were recruited quickly. After finding the people, Xia Jin sent them to the old store for training. Xia Jin found Sister Wang Feng alone and said, "I want you to go to the new store. You dare to take the lead."
Wang Feng said, "I'll try my best, but how can I get there?"
Xia Jin said, "Sister Wang, the others all have families, so it's not easy for them to move over. You're on your own here, so if you go over there, you can just live in the staff dormitory. The women can live in the dormitory above the hot pot restaurant, and the men can live in the spicy hot pot restaurant."
"Sister Wang, you should learn from Aunt Cuihong these two days. You will be able to do the accounting, right?"
Wang Feng said, "Yes, I'll go over then. Thank you, boss, for giving me this opportunity."
Xia Jin said, "That's fine. Your salary will be the same as the store manager's salary, 100 yuan a month. If the new store does well, I'll give you a raise."
Wang Feng said, "Okay. I will definitely do my best."
