Chapter 161
Life in the senior year of high school gradually got back on track. Jian Li didn't know how other people spent their senior year of high school, but her senior year was not much different from her previous life.
The difference is that she no longer wastes time on internal affairs. She goes to school after breakfast every morning, eats at the store at noon and in the evening, and uses her spare time to practice exercises, memorize books, and sleep. To her, this is her real senior year of high school. She doesn't have to consider family changes and can focus on preparing for the most important exam in her life.
Her performance started out as a stable first place, and gradually widened the gap with the second place.
By the end of the semester, Jian Li's grades were several points behind the second place.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of this semester. Wang Mengmei and Jian Feng successfully obtained their night school graduation certificates, and Wang Mengmei took the time to prepare for the correspondence examination.
The results haven’t come out yet and it’s already the Chinese New Year.
When asked what was different about this year's Chinese New Year compared to previous years, Jian Li thought about it carefully and realized that there were indeed many more things.
Wang Mengmei received gifts from several classmates brought by Yang Nan. This year, the window opened by Wang Mengmei quickly realized profits. The School of Business and Management usually distributes money at the end of the previous semester. Wang Mengmei simply took advantage of the few days after New Year's Day to take inventory of the turnover of the past few months.
In just a few months, the provincial university's window earned more than three thousand yuan.
Wang Mengmei donated all the money, 3,000 yuan, to the School of Economics and Management. According to the subsidy standard of 500 yuan per student, this money can support six students.
The money is not much, but the students who can get it are very poor.
Wang Mengmei didn't take the money to heart at first, but the students who received the money were very grateful to her.
Yang Nan was asked to bring several handwritten letters and report cards to Wang Mengmei, who wiped away tears as she read them.
She put the letters carefully into the cabinet, and her heart was filled with warm sunshine.
In addition to these students, Lin Hui also sent New Year's goods. This year, she was going to take her mother and younger son to reunite with her older son early, so she didn't prepare anything at home. Wang Mengmei sent her some food for the journey, and specially made some side dishes that Kong Fei liked for her to take with her.
Lin Hui reciprocated and gave Wang Mengmei a large box of products from the store.
What about seaweed mud mask, pearl powder, facial cleanser...
"Thanks to Jian Feng, our customer retention has been good this year, and many new customers were brought in by old customers."
Lin Hui's skin is fair with a rosy glow. After she lost weight, she started to dress herself up. Wearing thin high heels on her feet, Lin Hui walks steadily.
This year, she ordered Mid-Autumn Festival gift boxes and Chinese New Year gift boxes from Jian Feng. Both the boxes and the items inside won praise from customers.
Lin Hui is already selecting a location for her second store.
She took bigger steps than Wang Mengmei. Not only the second store, she even planned to select locations in other cities in the province to recruit franchisees. Within two years, she wanted to open stores throughout the province!
Wang Mengmei admires Lin Hui, but she is no longer the same as before. She didn’t have many ideas of her own before. She just did what others did. The first one was Li Lijuan, and later it was Lin Hui.
Now that she had found her pace, she planned to walk slowly.
After seeing Lin Hui off, Wang Mengmei received many blessings and gifts from the store employees.
Sometimes it’s just a card, but Wang Mengmei cherishes it very much.
Yao Feng's daughter Wenwen came secretly once and brought several boxes of gifts to Wang Mengmei.
Wang Mengmei refused, but Wenwen insisted that she accept it.
"Auntie, these gifts are not only a thank you to Jian Li, but also a thank you to you. My mother has changed a lot recently, and I am really happy."
Yao Feng had only worked for Wang Mengmei for a few days when Wang Mengmei brought out the new version of the rules and regulations.
Of course, since there is only one branch now, Wang Mengmei did not put forward very harsh terms.
On that densely packed piece of paper, the three most important items are:
The first is processing salary, which includes basic salary and bonus for promotion, including seniority and ability. In total, the store manager can get 700 yuan and the clerk can get 500 yuan. This does not include additional benefits and overtime allowances.
This salary is already high for the catering industry.
But to get this pay raise, you need to behave properly. This brings us to the second and third points.
The second point is the job responsibilities, which include details such as how to store pickled vegetables and vegetables at what temperature, how often to change bamboo skewers, and how long the table cannot be dirty... These are all minor details, but they are detailed and clear.
The third point is the hygiene habit. The hygiene of the store should be cleaned and inspected every day. For example, cockroaches and rats should be dealt with immediately once they appear. If the situation is serious, the store may even be closed for inspection.
Wang Mengmei would come to check the above requirements from time to time or ask someone to check them. If there were any problems, everyone from the store manager to the employees would have their bonuses deducted...
When this paper was brought out, of course some people grumbled that it was too strict.
But no one said they would leave because of this.
Are you kidding? Who can pay you so much?
Yao Feng originally thought that she was just out to make a little money, but she didn't expect Wang Mengmei to be so generous. She was a person who never gave up, and soon she stood firm in the store with her nimble hands and feet and her ability to speak, becoming the best among the employees and getting bonuses every month.
After Yao Feng made money, he started talking louder and louder, and he became more and more active at home.
Wenwen looked at Wang Mengmei sincerely: "Auntie, to be honest with you, I don't want my mother to stay at home to serve my father."
Wenwen had a long talk with her mother in private, and successfully fooled Yao Feng into saving all the money by saying that she still had the intention of studying for a master's and doctorate degree, and her sister also wanted to go to college.
Her father had no money and was unwilling to work, so someone had to do the housework. Her father had been treated like a big shot over the years and didn't even know where the rice was. But people, when pushed to that point, would do anything.
Her father now does housework every day with a lot of resentment.
You have to do it, because the one who holds the purse strings is the eldest daughter, and she always has various reasons, and she will only give money if there are real household expenses.
He wanted Yao Feng not to go out to work, but after seeing the outside world, Yao Feng would never be willing to stay at home.
Gradually, her father didn't speak as loudly at home as he used to.
Wenwen said with emotion: "Now I finally understand the saying that the economic base determines the superstructure."
Whoever pays has a say.
Yao Feng now often talks about work at home, and is even ambitious to compete for the next store manager.
Wang Mengmei was very happy to hear this. In fact, she had already put Yao Feng in the reserve position for store manager, and was ready to promote her as soon as the location for the next store was selected.
After Wenwen left, Wang Mengmei received several people coming to pay New Year's greetings. Several apprentices sent gifts from their families, and Xue Ling's family also sent a gift.
Wang Mengmei took the opportunity to pull Xue Ling's mother aside and asked her, "Has Xue Ling's marriage been settled?"
Xue Ling is now the accountant of her store. If she gets married, Wang Mengmei will definitely give her a big red envelope.
Xue Ling's mother frowned and said, "No, she did go to meet him, but when she came back she said she didn't feel anything."
What does Xue's mother think? What does marriage have to do with feelings?
This girl studied accounting before, and her family didn't push her, thinking that she could work hard for a few years while she was still young. Now she is already a few years old, and she still doesn't seize the opportunity. Does she really have to wait until there is no choice in the future?
Xue's mother kept complaining.
Wang Mengmei thought of the past and her heart skipped a beat. She wondered, could it be that Xue Ling is still thinking about Ni Hao?
After saying a lot of random things, Xue's mother looked at Wang Mengmei with hope.
"I shouldn't be bothering you, but Xue Ling usually listens to you, besides her sister. Can you help me ask her what she thinks?"
Wang Mengmei had exactly this idea, so she took up the matter.
"Okay, I'll ask her after the New Year."
If she really still likes Ni Hao, and Ni Hao's mother is urging Ni Hao to get married, and both sides are aware of the relationship, she might as well poke the paper and ask. If they can really be together, it is also fate.
She didn't agree to it back then because she thought Xue Ling was still young, and Ni Hao was also dating Cui Panpan. Now Cui Panpan was nowhere to be found, and Xue Ling was getting married. Ni Hao's character was still trustworthy.
It's time to ask.
Wang Mengmei's side was replaced by another one, and the same was true for Jian Feng's side.
Even Jian Feng's interpersonal relationships are more complicated.
Jian Feng was either on his way to treat someone to a meal or on his way to be treated to a meal by someone else. There were all kinds of gifts piled up in the house. Because they knew there was a senior high school student, the most popular gift was walnut juice, which was good for the brain.
The winter vacation, which used to be a quiet time for everyone, has now become the busiest time.
Among the whole family, only Jian Li slept soundly every day with the dog in her arms. When she woke up, she would search the gift boxes for food and drink all kinds of drinks on the market.
The provincial experimental remedial classes were suspended on the day of the Little New Year. Jian Li finished her homework in one go and used the rest of the time to catch up on sleep.
When the second day of the Chinese New Year finally arrived, Wang Mengmei and Jian Feng drove her back to Wangjiazhuang again.
Jian Li was shocked when she saw Wang Yunyun.
"Sister, why are you so thin?"
Wang Yunyun has lost about 20 kilograms since the last time we met.
She was thin to begin with, and now that she has lost these 20 pounds, there is no flesh on her face.
Wang Yunyun was exhausted: "Stop talking, No. 2 Middle School is really perverted."
No. 2 Middle School is a full-boarding school that adheres to strict management in both school rules and learning.
Wang Yunyun never has a chance to rest from morning to night.
"We only have 20 minutes to eat!"
Wang Yunyun said slowly, "Forget it. You provincial experimenters won't understand us..."
Jian Li: ...How can you not understand? I understand it so well.
The No. 2 Middle School in her previous life left a deep mark on her soul, such as running exercises at 5 o'clock in the morning, only 20 minutes to eat, reciting lessons out loud, and evening self-study at 11 o'clock in the evening... Hengshui is a younger brother in front of it.
"... Take a good rest during the New Year."
No matter how many words you say, it's useless. You can only wait for time to pass.
After you get through this period, good days will come.
Wang Yunyun clenched her fists and said, "I am relying on this thought to get through this."
Otherwise she would really go crazy.
The two of them complained to each other, and General Wang felt sympathetic as he listened.
Senior year of high school is so scary!
The most important thing is, he will be a senior in high school next year.
This year, because of the absence of two senior high school students and Wang Chengcai, everyone was not very interested.
When Li Xia was present, there was no more loud talk.
Wang Chengcai's departure was beyond her expectations and made her extremely sad.
For Qianqian, Wang Chengcai left his family and her and went to the south, not even coming back for the New Year.
This fact devastated Li Xia.
The sisters-in-law were all talking about their own children, but what about her children?
Wang Yuexi got angry with her, and for the first time in her life, Li Xia cursed at her husband.
"Blame me? Why do you blame me? It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, would I be so strict? From childhood to adulthood, you have been the good guy, and I am the bad guy. Now, if there is a problem, it is my responsibility. What is my responsibility? My responsibility is to marry you, a person who does not strive for progress, and give birth to a son who does not strive for progress!"
After the fight, Wang Yuexi and Li Xia started a cold war.
During the dinner, Wang Mengmei couldn't stand it and gave Li Xia some advice with a veiled meaning.
"Look at the bright side. The child will learn skills when he goes abroad. When he makes a lot of money in the future, he will take you to enjoy a good life."
She knew a lot of information and knew that Wang Chengcai had found a job in a foreign trade company there. Instead of working in the accounting industry, he became a foreign trade merchandiser.
"Maybe it would be a good thing for Chengcai to go out and have a look."
Jian Li raised her eyebrows. Isn’t this a good thing?
In two years, our country will join the WTO.
