Chapter 135: Asking for leave to go back to his hometown
Seeing that Ye Zhonghua was sweating profusely and panting, Ye Fan and Dong Yuejun couldn't care less about taking a walk, so they hurriedly ran to help.
"Dad, you are celebrating the New Year!" Ye Fan couldn't help but be shocked when he saw that the bag was full of chicken, duck, fish, and various seafood.
"Silly boy, these are all bought for you and Xiaojun to replenish your health!"
Dad laughed aloud and said to Dong Yuejun: "Xiaojun, you are weak and weak, please eat more later! Work harder tonight and give me a fat grandson!"
"Ah?" Dong Yuejun immediately heard what Ye Zhonghua meant, and his face turned red with embarrassment.
Dad laughed and walked quickly up the stairs.
Dong Yuejun gently pinched Ye Fan's waist, "It was all your fault last night, my parents heard it!"
"You heard it when you heard it, there's nothing to be afraid of!" Ye Fan shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "It's not too late for them to be happy!"
"Ah, you still said that!" Dong Yuejun was ashamed and annoyed, his face flushed with red.
When the three of them returned home, Ye Zhonghua ran non-stop and started working in the kitchen. His mother, who had difficulty moving, sat aside to supervise the work.
Dong Yuejun took the opportunity to go to the bedroom and make a phone call, telling Sister Zhang and others that he had something to do today and could not go to the store.
Ye Fan was not idle either, calling Li Ruoxin to ask about signing the contract with Wu Xue and others today.
Li Ruoxin was very happy. Everyone cooperated very smoothly. No one made excessive demands. Moreover, Hu Bingbing and Pan Xiaowei also hired several accountants from their original companies.
As a result, the financial department of Novan Catering has taken shape.
"Xiao Li, make an appointment with them tonight, and invite Xiao Zhao and the others. Let's hold a shareholder reception first so that everyone can get familiar with each other. It will also be good for future cooperation."
"Well, I have asked Mr. Yuan to make arrangements. They are still here. I will send you the address later."
"Okay, sorry to trouble you." Ye Fan responded with an apologetic smile: "I'm at my parents' place, and I can't get out of my way."
"It's okay, help me say hello to my uncle and aunt."
Li Ruoxin knew that Ye Fan had been busy with too many things recently and had not been home to visit his sick mother. Now that Nuofan could finally take a breath, it was reasonable for him to rest for half a day.
After making the call, Ye Fan came to the kitchen. He originally planned to help, but Dong Yuejun had already put on an apron and helped his father.
"Okay, our kitchen is small. It's good that Xiaojun is here. Go out and watch Yiyi and the others." Mom drove Ye Fan out, as if she had something to say to Dong Yuejun.
Ye Fan had no choice but to go to the living room to watch TV with Yiyi and Nuonuo.
Since Nono joined the family, Yiyi is no longer as clingy to Mark as before.
The two little guys get along very harmoniously, and Yiyi has also established the image of a big sister, feeling that she has grown up a lot all of a sudden.
At noon, Dad invited everyone to eat.
Dong Yuejun's face was red, she didn't know what the two old men said to her.
"Ye Fan, I heard from Xiaojun that you plan to go back to your hometown in August?" My mother suddenly asked while eating.
"Well, business in the store has been quite busy recently. I want to go back when things stabilize."
"That's it..." My mother felt a little distraught and wanted to persuade Ye Fan.
Ye Zhonghua waved his hand, "Old lady, what do you know? Xiaofan's career has just started. A man should put his career first, otherwise how can he take care of the family?"
Then, he changed the topic and said gently to Dong Yuejun: "Xiaojun, don't be so tired. There is Ye Fan outside to support you. You must not bear all the pressure on yourself."
"Dad, I know."
Dong Yuejun lowered his head and took small bites of the food in the bowl.
Ye Fan gave her a few pieces of braised pork and said, "Eat more."
"Papa, I want it too!" Yiyi likes braised pork the most, and her meaty little arms lift up the rice bowl and stretch it straight.
"Daddy..."
Nuonuo opened her mouth, blinked her big eyes and hesitated for a long time, not embarrassed to imitate Yiyi's behavior.
"Okay, everything is there, everything is there!"
Ye Fan smiled and served the two children some food. The two little ones cheered and ate the rice with big mouthfuls.
Dad smiled and said to Ye Fan: "Xiao Fan, this time we go back to our hometown, but we are going back to make your mother look good. If you have the ability, bring more money back."
"What are you going to do with the money?" Ye Fan was stunned and looked at his mother: "Do you still know how to give out red envelopes in the village?"
"Why do you care so much? Just take care of it if you are asked." My mother looked embarrassed and shouted loudly.
"Okay, okay, take it with you. I will take as much as I have." Ye Fan was speechless.
My mother has been very grumpy these past two days. Could it be that her menopausal period has given her a second spring?
"Xiaojun, you haven't been home for many years. When the time comes, take Ye Fan to your house for a walk!
Ye Fan, if your father-in-law and mother-in-law need help, don't be petty, otherwise they will think that Xiaojun is not having a good time with us."
Mom instructed.
"Yeah, whatever you say is what it is." Ye Fan nodded repeatedly.
"Xiaojun, you have to watch Ye Fan. This kid has a bad temper and has conflicts with your parents. Stop quarreling." My mother was worried.
Dong Yuejun smiled and nodded: "Mom, don't worry, I will keep an eye on him. But... you also know the situation of my parents. Sometimes they go too far."
"Well, every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. I can understand that." My mother sighed.
Ye Fan continued to be confused.
Since yesterday, when they were talking about the past, Ye Fan had been in a state of confusion.
He has no idea what happened in the past, and is completely unfamiliar with Dong Yuejun's family. To him, this marriage is like picking it up for nothing.
Ye Fan stayed out of the matter and didn't know how to interrupt. Whenever his parents told him, he would keep nodding in agreement.
Dong Yuejun and Ye Fan have been very busy recently.
The two discussed it and wanted to ask their parents to live here temporarily and help them take care of their children.
Naturally, his parents were eager to do so. After lunch, Ye Fan took Ye Zhonghua to pick up clothes at home, while Dong Yuejun went to work in the club.
Ye Fan drove the car to his parents' neighborhood, packed a suitcase of clothes, went downstairs, called a taxi for his dad, and paid him to take him back to Dong Yuejun's house.
Ye Zhonghua knew that Ye Fan still had many things to do, so he rushed him to the cake shop to do some work.
Ye Fan was not polite to his father and drove straight to Shanda Plaza.
He was busy in the store all afternoon, and in the evening he hosted Li Ruoxin and entertained Yuan Yin, Wu Xue and others.
So far, everyone is getting along pretty well, and with Ye Fan in the middle, Murong Qi and the others don't dare to be disrespectful to Li Ruoxin.
In this way, the first shareholder meeting officially came to an end.
The next day, Hu Bingbing and Pan Xiaowei reported to Novan Catering, along with two young girls and three middle-aged women.
With the addition of a professional accounting team, Li Ruoxin's work load became much easier. Every day she only had to review and approve the account statements submitted by Hu Bingbing.
As for the reconciliation work, Ye Fan secretly handed it over to Xiao Zhao and Xiaojuan.
Xiao Zhao is a science student, and since he is responsible for purchasing goods, he knows the store's expenses in detail.
Xiaojuan, on the other hand, is very attentive, and the two of them work together to check the accounts easily.
After more than a week of observation, they were very impressed by Hu Bingbing and others' accounting standards and no longer had any doubts.
However, Ye Fan still asked them to check whether every account was balanced, which almost became something they must do before falling asleep.
I don’t know if Ye Fan was mistaken. He found that there was something wrong with the relationship between Xiao Zhao and Xiao Juan recently. It seemed that they often sneaked out to open a small stove, making it seem like they were dating.
Every time Ye Fan mentioned this to Li Ruoxin, she would always cover her mouth and chuckle without making any comments.
Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, it has been one month since Novan Catering officially opened.
In late July, Li Ruoxin held a shareholders' meeting to announce the operating results of Novin Catering for the entire month and make the accounts public.
In just one month, the three stores of Novan Catering have made a total profit of more than 5 million yuan. After deducting various expenses, the company's internal account balance still has 3.2 million yuan!
Moreover, these profits were achieved after the five heating rooms were put into use for half a month.
In other words, next month’s profits will be even more impressive!
We spent 20 million of the money we raised, with 5 million left, and the company’s current account balance came to more than 8 million.
As soon as Lei Jun heard the news, he immediately proposed to open two more branches to expand the scale of business.
However, Li Ruoxin does not intend to do this. She hopes to extend the observation period and wait until the stores and orders in Shanda Plaza and Central Mall are completely stable before considering the plan to continue opening branches.
Lei Jun belongs to the reformist group and directly quarreled with Li Ruoxin at the meeting.
What Ye Fan didn't expect was that Li Ruoxin was more prepared and sent many shareholders the expansion methods of more than a dozen failed restaurant chains, and argued hard to convince Lei Jun.
After listening to Li Ruoxin's explanation, Lei Jun was convinced and agreed with her statement. He would see the situation in a few months.
The subsequent shareholders' meeting went very smoothly. Yuan Yin, a business veteran, pointed out some shortcomings in Novan's work. Xiao Juan and Xiao Wu accepted it humbly and recorded it in detail.
At first, Ye Fan was worried that the two groups of people would be at odds with each other. Unexpectedly, everyone worked so hard, all for the good of Novan Catering.
After everyone finished speaking, Ye Fan finally spoke.
"Everyone, I have something to ask you for advice."
"Asking for instructions?" Yuan Yin screamed strangely, "Ye Fan, you are the second largest shareholder of Novan. The current general manager, how can you ask us for instructions on work?"
"Don't be poor, something really happened." Ye Fan rolled his eyes at Yuan Yin and looked at Li Ruoxin: "Xiao Li, now Nuofan is on the right track, I have some personal matters here and I want to ask you for leave."
"Ask for leave?" Li Ruoxin was stunned, "Brother Ye, are you kidding me? You should ask for leave from Sister Bingbing and Sister Xiaowei. They shoulder the responsibility of the Human Resources Department and the Finance Department. I don't have that much power now.
.”
"Yes, we also have a human resources department here!" Hu Bingbing covered her mouth and smiled, "Tell me, do you have any personal matters to ask for leave for?"
