The next day, Feng Haidong heard his cousin tell him what had happened.
His expression was quite serious. He didn't immediately agree to his cousin's request, but instead called his cousin's wife and Shen Qing over.
In front of everyone, Feng Haidong asked very seriously, "Shen Qing, you are my cousin's sister-in-law's younger sister. In a way, we are family, so there are some things I need to tell you clearly."
Shen Qingjian and Feng Haidong were very serious, and she suddenly felt a little nervous.
"Brother Haidong, do you not want me to stay and work in your shop?"
Feng Haidong said, "No, let me finish speaking first."
Shen Qing nodded seriously.
Feng Haidong then began to speak: "I opened this store in the provincial capital, and I can say that I am not making a penny for the time being, because I took out a loan to open this store, so I need to pay off the bank loan first."
So actually, I'm under a lot of pressure, but I can't stop paying the store's staff just because I'm under pressure, including my older sister and brother-in-law. I give them a share of the profits every month, and I'll definitely be the one to bear the loan amount myself.
Upon hearing this, Liu Guofeng and his family couldn't help but admire Feng Haidong's courage even more.
Feng Haidong continued, "I'm telling you all this to make one thing clear: my store has requirements for everyone. I hope that every employee can do their job well and not let hard work or trivial matters affect their work."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qing couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, Brother Haidong, I will definitely do my best."
Feng Haidong said, "I believe you will do a good job, but I still want to ask you seriously, can you endure this hardship?"
Before Shen Qing could answer him almost immediately, Feng Haidong said, "Don't rush to answer. I think it's possible. Tonight is our store's first day of business after the New Year. You can try working here. If you can handle it and feel you can endure the hardship, then you can stay. Is that okay?"
Shen Qing nodded seriously and said, "Okay."
Feng Haidong added, "Moreover, if you work in my shop, there are no relatives or friends working there, and you must be just as responsible and diligent as the other employees."
Shen Qing nodded again in agreement: "Okay, I understand."
Feng Haidong said, "I've said everything I need to say. If you're willing to try, then come with me to the store during today's business hours and start working. Give it a try."
Shen Qing excitedly agreed, "Okay, I will definitely do my best."
After listening to Feng Haidong's very organized words, Liu Guofeng was able to understand his cousin's requests.
After all, if you want to run a store well, especially if you need the store to make a profit to pay off the loan, you must establish rules in the store and never let the people in the store do whatever they want.
Moreover, after listening to the story, Shen Qing still showed great enthusiasm for staying in the shop.
Liu Guofeng thought it was indeed a good idea for his sister-in-law to give it a try.
Shen Hui understood as well. She said to her younger sister, "Xiao Qing, you have to work hard tonight and don't cause trouble for your brother Hai Dong."
Shen Qing said, "Sister, don't worry, brother-in-law, I will definitely work hard."
Liu Guofeng continued, "Haidong, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Feng Haidong then smiled and said, "It's alright. Actually, I'm not afraid of trouble. I'm just worried that my shop might be a bit tough, and my sister-in-law might not be able to handle it. I would feel very bad if that happened."
Shen Hui said, "No, Hai Dong. If Xiao Qing leaves because she finds it too hard, we should be the ones apologizing to you. You really don't need to feel embarrassed."
Feng Haidong said, "Sister-in-law, I believe Shen Qing is definitely a good girl, so as long as she is willing to work, I will teach her seriously and take good care of her in the provincial capital."
Shen Hui said, "Thank you so much, Hai Dong. If Xiao Qing does anything wrong, just tell her directly."
Shen Qing said, "Yes, yes, Brother Haidong, if I do something wrong, just tell me and I promise I will improve it."
Feng Haidong smiled and said, "Okay, actually there's not much skill involved in being a waiter in the store. The main thing is to greet people with a smile. Also, there might be some trouble with unreasonable customers. But you can come to me, or to the older sister and brother-in-law in the store."
Shen Qing was puzzled when she heard that some customers were being unreasonable: "Do people really make unreasonable demands?"
Feng Haidong said, "Indeed, when you open a business, all sorts of people may come in."
Shen Qing said somewhat nervously, "That really is a lot of trouble."
Feng Haidong said, "It's okay. If you encounter this, just tell me directly, or find my older sister and brother-in-law. We will handle it. Although you can't offend the customers, you also need to protect yourself and not let yourself suffer losses."
Shen Qing nodded seriously and agreed: "Okay, Brother Haidong, I'll remember."
Liu Guofeng and Shen Hui were both very grateful to Feng Haidong for being willing to keep Shen Qing.
Shen Hui, in particular, still felt that her younger sister staying in the provincial capital had caused Feng Haidong a lot of trouble.
Therefore, Shen Hui kept thanking Feng Haidong.
Feng Haidong understood that his cousin-in-law was worried about her younger sister, and that she kept thanking him so that he would treat her sister better.
In response, Feng Haidong stated clearly: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely do my best to take good care of Shen Qing and won't let her, a girl, suffer any losses."
After discussing the matter, Feng Haidong and his cousin returned to the shop together.
When Liu Fenggu learned of this, he felt that it was too much trouble for his nephew, Feng Haidong.
"Haidong, look, we were able to come here this time thanks to you. Now you've left Shen Qing in your shop, which has really caused you a lot of trouble. Thank you, Uncle."
Feng Haidong said, "Uncle, you're being too polite. I run a business, and I need waiters in my shop. Shen Qing doesn't mind being a waiter and is willing to work in my shop. How could she be a burden to me?"
Liu Guifang also said to her elder brother, "That's right, elder brother. You are the elder, so don't thank Haidong, who is a junior. This is what he should do. Who told him to open such a big store in the provincial capital?"
Liu Fenggu said, "Being able to open a shop is Haidong's own ability."
Liu Guifang said, "What skill do I have? I'm just bold."
Feng Haidong laughed and said, "Haha, Mom is right, I am indeed bold, and I will be even bolder in the future."
Liu Guifang immediately warned: "You need to be careful. You have two children now. Don't act so rashly anymore. You must think things through carefully and consider your children's future."
Seeing his mother's nervousness, Feng Haidong smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, I definitely won't take any risks."
After comforting his mother for a while, Feng Haidong said, "My shop in the provincial capital will open tonight. Uncle, why don't you go check it out together tonight?"
Liu Fenggu readily agreed: "Sure, let's go take a look together tonight and see if my nephew's shop is as thriving as you say."
The whole family laughed together, and everyone was looking forward to seeing how business would go on the first night of the new year.
