Chapter 1496: Chapter 272: Someone to Look After
Xiang Aidong felt a bit embarrassed being observed, hesitated for a moment and said, "Once we earn enough money, we’ll go back home to build a house."
Having a goal creates motivation, having a dream leads to hard work and effort.
Han Xiangning realized she can’t treat her little cousin like a child anymore, but should see him as a young man with ideals and goals, holding a strong sense of responsibility towards his girlfriend and family. She couldn’t help but ask, "Have you settled things with that Boss yet?"
"Yes, it’s settled. It’s the Boss’s first time opening a restaurant, but he has friends who own restaurants. He took me to his friend’s restaurant in the afternoon to taste dishes, and after tasting, we talked for over half an hour. He wants me to be the head chef of his restaurant, and Red Plum to be the supervisor, and wants us to start working there tomorrow."
"How much is it per month?"
"For me?"
"Hmm."
"Two thousand two hundred."
Han Xiangning exclaimed, "So much!"
That’s not much, though...
Xiang Aidong felt the Vice Mayor cousin seemed inexperienced and laughed, "His restaurant not only needs someone to cook, but also to make hotpot. I need to cook and also help him with the hotpot prep. The Boss wants to operate until midnight, lots of work and long hours, also being responsible for the back kitchen, two thousand two hundred a month sounds about right."
The little cousin is so capable!
Han Xiangning asked joyfully, "What about Red Plum?"
"My salary isn’t as high as Aidong’s, although the Boss says I’m the supervisor, but his restaurant is so small, just sixteen tables and a small private room, basically I’m a server. I get five hundred a month, but the Boss said the commission from selling alcohol and drinks goes to the servers."
"There’s commission on alcohol?"
"Yes, there’s commission for selling apple cider, beer, just not much, but it adds up. If sales are good, it can be one or two hundred a month."
"Who gives this commission?"
"The people delivering alcohol and drinks give it, Boss gets his profit, servers get their commission."
Truly, each trade has its complexities, who knew there were so many intricacies in a restaurant.
As Han Yu thought about visiting the restaurant, the little cousin surprisingly put down his chopsticks, and cautiously said, "Sis, brother-in-law, the Boss rented a house upstairs from the restaurant. Once we start working, we need to keep an eye on things in the restaurant, there’s a lot to buy for the renovations, need to help hire staff, once it opens there will be even more to do. The Boss and Boss Lady want us to move in."
"You’re moving in!"
"Moving in is convenient."
...
Clearly, not only the restaurant’s Boss and Boss Lady want them to move in, they themselves wish to move in.
Han Yu and Han Xiangning had no choice but to agree.
At night, Han Yu called his mother-in-law far away in East Sea, chuckled bitterly and said, "Mom, they found the job themselves, they’re moving tomorrow, nothing to do with me or Ningning!"
The sons from the family showing promise, Director Xiang was very pleased and couldn’t help but laugh, "You don’t need to worry, isn’t this great?"
With the older cousin accompanying the little cousin and his little girlfriend for a shopping trip, no outsiders at home, Han Yu felt carefree and laughed, "But they came to find us, we didn’t help with anything, it’s quite embarrassing to think about. Besides, Aidong is really skilled, and Red Plum, that smart girl, is very clever and capable, they could have found work anywhere, no need to come to Binjiang."
"What’s this talk?"
Director Xiang rebuked and then said earnestly, "I urged them to go to Binjiang, and your uncle and aunt supported it not for anything else, but thinking you’d be there to look after them. San’er, when Han Han grows up and goes away for school or work, you and Ningning will understand what they mean about a son traveling many miles making a mother anxious."
"Just to have someone to watch over them?"
"Isn’t that enough?" Director Xiang laughed, and continued, "The two kids are sensible, no need for you to worry, but you can’t really neglect them. He found a job, and is working as the head chef at a restaurant, in the future, go take care of the restaurant business."
"I know, I will definitely go, I’ll take Xiao Yu when I go."
