Chapter 242: The Uselessness of Reading

When the movement first broke out, the second child had just entered junior high school and was already considered a sensible older child.

Before that, the second child's academic performance had always been very good, and he was very self-conscious and never let her and Lao Chen worry about it as parents.

Xu Shi witnessed the riots caused by that movement, so Chen Hua never read a book since then.

Spend the whole day in a state of confusion.

The situation was unclear before, and the Chen family didn't want anyone in the family to be the leader, so they just let him go.

But now, the crisis has been completely exposed, and going to school has become the most convenient way to change the future. However, the ambition of the second child has been extinguished more than ten years ago.

Chen's father and Chen's mother have tried hard, but to no avail.

Out of concern for their children, they did not force it too much and let it develop.

However, Chen Huaqian should never say this in front of the Xu family.

Has he ever thought about how miserable his sister's life would be in the Xu family if the Xu family were angry?

Thinking about it, Mother Chen couldn't help but blush.

There is a sense of powerlessness against reality, and there is also resentment towards Chen Laoer who does not live up to expectations.

As a "bystander" who knows the direction of history, Xu Wanning can easily sense Chen's mother's emotions.

She ignored the Xu family members' unkind eyes and looked at Chen Hua, and said with a chuckle: "Although what the second brother just said is not entirely correct, it is not entirely unreasonable."

After hearing this, Chen Hua adjusted his sitting posture again, and it was even better than before. Sit up straight.

"Oh? What does Aning think makes sense?"

"First of all, I don't agree with what my second brother said, reading is useless. I have read a lot of books and learned a lot of knowledge from them, so I know that reading can change your destiny. But you have to If you want to live a good life, studying is not the only way. "

Secondly, there is no shame in making money. No one stipulates that people with high education cannot make money. In fact, there is no conflict between the elegance of literati and the philistinism of businessmen. The important thing is how to balance the two. One point more or one less is not good. "

"This is the end..."

Xu Wanning paused deliberately at this point.

She approached Chen Hua and asked in a low voice, "Does the second brother also want to do business?"

An unnatural look flashed across Chen Hua's face.

Then he returned to his previous laziness, leaning back on the chair and pretending not to care.

"I'm a regular worker. I get a lot of salary every month and the work is easy. Why can't I think about starting a business when I'm so good?"

As he spoke, he kept glancing at Chen's father and mother.

Obviously, those words just now were meant for Chen’s father and Chen’s mother.

Hearing this, Xu Wanning smiled and looked regretful.

"I originally thought that if the second brother really has this plan, I will talk to you in detail. Since the second brother has no such idea, just pretend that I didn't say anything."

Xu Wanning ended the topic decisively.

She whispered to Lin An, and soon, Lin An took out a stack of paper and distributed it to everyone together with Xu Maoning.

"Everyone has just eaten. Please write a review for me. Well, just briefly talk about which dish you like the most, or which dish you dislike the least, and why. Write it down.

" , she also added: "My favorite dishes are not allowed to be written about my cooking."

If all the dishes were written about her cooking, then there would be no need to ask for this opinion.

Several people had already started writing. After hearing what she said, they had no choice but to cross out everything they had just written and start writing again.

Xu Maoning looked at everyone's uniform movements and felt particularly proud.

As expected of her sister, with just three words, she could get so many prominent figures in Beijing to listen to her and write comments on a few dishes.

This picture cannot be seen anywhere else.

Hey, he saw it all without paying for it.

"Ouch, it hurts! Sister, why are you hitting me?"

Xu Wanning gouged out Xu Maoning, who was smiling with a wretched look on his face: "I asked everyone to write comments, but you are just standing here and being lazy?"

Xu Maoning pointed to the tip of his nose: "I Do you want to write too?"

Xu Wanning gave him a look and let him understand.

"Forget it, your opinion is not important. Now, please, my dear brother, please help me collect all the comments."

"Oh!"

Xu Maoning rubbed the head that Xu Wanning had hit, and accepted his fate. Receive comments individually.

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished writing yet!"

Xu Maoning looked down at Boss Sun's comment, and then took a breath.

"Boss Sun, my sister said you only need to express your like or dislike for one of the dishes, but you wrote down every dish!"

Boss Sun smiled proudly.

"As the owner of Quanfulou, a time-honored brand in Beijing, of course I have to write more than others, otherwise how can I highlight my professionalism?"

Xu Maoning didn't know what to say and could only give Boss Sun a thumbs up.

He learned this posture from Xu Wanning.

By the time all the comments were collected, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.

There was really nothing going on in the restaurant at the moment, and Xu's mother also wanted Xu Wanning to have a good rest, so she simply said goodbye.

Soon, the group of people was gone.

Several waiters worked together to clean up the mess.

Although Xu Wanning ordered four waiters, two to serve food and two to clean up, four people worked together when serving food just now, and four people worked together when cleaning.

Everyone helps each other and it becomes easier.

Xu Wanning didn't say anything about this.

This is a matter between the four of them and requires their own coordination.

The coordination is not good, and there is Dongzi, the lobby manager.

As a boss, she only needs to show up at the critical moment.

After Lin An and Dongzi arranged the gifts from the guests who had just arrived, they sat in front of Xu Wanning with a glass of hot water.

"What are you writing about?"

"A little calculation." Xu Wanning explained: "Today, all the dishes that Chef Zhang bought are finished. I first calculated how much I spent on buying the vegetables, and how many dishes I cooked in total. It will be easier to do the accounting in the future."

Seeing that she was doing business, Lin An did not disturb her, but watched her silently.

Until, he saw several strangers pushing the door open and coming in.

"Is this a hotel? Can we eat here?"

Lin An subconsciously looked at Xu Wanning.

She just said that Chef Zhang had finished cooking the dishes he bought. The kitchen should be empty now, and she didn't know if she could still entertain people.

Xu Wanning had already put away the account books and stood up to greet her with a smile, "Of course. It's sunny outside, everyone come in and have a rest. Snowflake, bring me a few cups of tea."

"Hey, I'll be here soon!"

Xu Wanning greeted her . A few women came in, dressed very simply, even crudely. Even in their summer shirts, there were patches on their clothes.

Two of them had their shoes and even their toes exposed.
