A discerning person can tell at a glance that Fan Shengmei is under great pressure. After all, this is Shanghai, the economic capital of China. However, Fan's father and Fan's mother chose to turn a blind eye, just to indulge their incompetent son Fan Shengtang.
In fact, it is difficult for Suning to finish watching the drama "Ode to Joy". It feels that the characters in it are all suffering from severe depression. Maybe Anai, the boss, wants to express the tragedy of the world, but he puts on a cheerful coat.
, but Suning always feels a sense of depression.
After finally making it to get off work, Fan Shengmei went to the bank first and gave this month's money to her mother. Then she painfully discovered that she had become a "pauper" again, and a super "pauper" who lived like a year.
"Mom, I have already paid back this month's money." Fan Shengmei endured the suffocation in her heart, and then dialed her mother's phone with a forced smile. Only "Alexander" could understand the pain in her heart.
"Ah? Shengmei, your brother won't let me and your dad ask for your money. He said he would support us himself." Mother Fan's explanation came in a low voice on the phone.
"Ah? Mom, would my brother say something like this?" Fan Shengmei on the other end of the phone showed an expression of disbelief.
"Yes! Your brother is now doing well. He doesn't want others to see his joke, so he won't let us ask you for living expenses anymore." Mother Fan explained with a smile on her face.
"By the way! Mom, what kind of job will my brother do now?" Fan Shengmei really thought her mother's words were too fantasy, so she asked another question.
"Huh? I can't tell you exactly. It seems that we are doing business in partnership with others, and we will no longer be involved in the nondescript things before."
"Mom, where did my brother get the money to form a partnership with others? He must not have borrowed money from usury or been deceived by others." After hearing Fan's mother's explanation, Fan Shengmei did not relax, but could not help but become nervous.
"Shengmei, don't worry. Your brother only contributes effort but not money. He will not be deceived by others."
"Ah? That's okay." Fan Shengmei breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and then asked about the relationship between her brother and sister-in-law, "Mom, how is the relationship between my brother and my sister-in-law?"
"That's great! Your sister-in-law's face is glowing every day now, and I don't need to ask for breakfast now. Our Fan family is able to marry your sister-in-law. It's really smoke rising over the ancestral graves of our Fan family."
"Ah? Mom, is my sister-in-law next to you now?" Hearing what Fan's mother said, she felt as if she was being coerced, because it was very different from the sister-in-law she knew.
"No! Your sister-in-law is taking care of the child at home!" Fan's mother explained at a loss.
"Huh? Mom, why do you feel like you were threatened by her with a knife and said these words?" Fan Shengmei said, somewhat dumbfounded.
"Silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about! Your sister-in-law is doing well now. She is not as exaggerated as you said."
"Mom, as long as you can stay safe at home."
"Well, you should take good care of yourself when you are alone in Shanghai. Don't go home too late every day."
"Ah?" Fan Shengmei was stunned for a moment when she heard her mother say this to her for the first time, "Mom, I will take good care of myself."
After hanging up the phone, Fan Shengmei's ears were still surrounded by her mother's personal words. It felt as unreal as a dream. She had never heard her mother's concern since she was a child, so she was a little surprised for a while.
Stunned.
The relationship between the family of origin is so complicated. The idea of raising children to provide for old age has long been ingrained. Children take the love from their parents for granted. Of course, some parents take the filial piety from their children as a given. So sometimes the two sides are very confused.
It is difficult to achieve mutual understanding.
...
Three "Fan Lou" branches in Nantong Vientiane City, Wanda and Wuyue have been opened. The central kitchen of "Fan Lou" provides all the raw materials and dishes immediately, and then allows all "Fan Lou" branches to maintain the same level as the general store.
Same standard as the store.
Because Suning used the most standardized system from the beginning, all three of its four stores have achieved healthy development, and all four stores can keep the stores full. The most important thing is that the reputation of "Fan Lou" is still there.
In the process of fermentation.
Every day after "Fan Lou" closes, the financial officer of "Fan Lou" Cultural Catering Company will come to hand over the turnover to the cashier. This also prevents the cashier from tampering and lays the foundation for future company expansion.
As soon as Suning came out of her office, she saw that the manager of the main store, Lin Youyou, still hadn't left. Instead, she waited until the cashier and the company's financial officer had finished handing over the turnover, and both the cashier and the financial officer had left the main store before preparing to leave.
Main store.
"Manager Lin, why are you still not leaving at this late hour?" Suning called to Manager Lin with a smile.
"Mr. Fan, you haven't gotten off work yet? I was just waiting for the accountant to hand over to the cashier." Store Manager Lin happily explained to Suning.
"Well, thank you for your hard work. Do you have time to have a drink together?"
"OK!"
After locking the door of the "Fan Lou" head office, Suning took Lin Youyou to the barbecue restaurant in the food court next door. After the two casually ordered some skewers, they then ordered a dozen Dafu beers.
Suning and Lin Youyou were drinking beer and licking the skewers in their hands. Soon the restraint between the boss and the employees was gone. Lin Youyou pointedly asked Suning, "Mr. Fan, why didn't you see that?"
Has your wife been in the store?"
"My wife is taking care of the children at home."
"Ah? Mr. Fan, how many children do you have?" Lin Youyou's eyes widened in surprise, and then she asked Suning with some confusion.
"A boy! Four or five months old."
"Haha, Mr. Fan, it's quite late for you to have a child." Lin Youyou said with a surprised smile.
"No! The main reason is that I got married late and it was quite troublesome to find a wife back then."
"No way! Mr. Fan, such an outstanding man, is still very popular with girls." Lin Youyou obviously didn't believe it when she heard Suning's teasing explanation.
"Haha, play and responsibility are different. There are very few people who are willing to take responsibility."
"Eh? What Mr. Fan said makes sense." Lin Youyou nodded thoughtfully.
"Lin Youyou, in fact, in my opinion, the relationship between men and women is just that, it's just a game where each gets what he wants." Suning took a very open view of the relationship between men and women.
"Well?"
"Lin Youyou, you should have noticed that our company is a very formal catering company. Nantong is just our starting point, but it will never be the end. As long as you work hard for the "Fan Lou Culture", you will definitely be very successful.
Promising.”
"Mr. Fan, I understand what you mean." Lin Youyou is also a smart person who is used to ups and downs, and quickly understood the meaning of Suning's conversation.
"Haha, as long as you understand, I still think highly of you." Suning smiled and nodded.
"Mr. Fan, thank you for your consideration and cultivation. I would like to give you a drink." Lin Youyou boldly picked up the bottle and said to Suning.
"Haha, do it!"
Suning is not a stupid young man who has never experienced anything between a man and a woman. He is also well aware of Lin Youyou's constant flirtation. He said these meaningful words during this barbecue today just to make this happen.
The relationship between the boss and his employees should be pure and free from any inappropriate things.
Fortunately, Lin Youyou is very smart and easily understood the meaning of Suning's words. I stopped making trouble with my random thoughts. After all, work is more important.
...
Without the Fan family's excessive demands on her, Fan Shengmei's quality of life has skyrocketed. Today she bought a new piece of clothing. She feels that this is the life she wants.
"Fan Shengmei, did you buy new clothes?" The sharp-eyed colleague looked at Fan Shengmei in surprise.
"Yes! I have taken a fancy to this suit for a long time, and I gritted my teeth and got it today." Fan Shengmei said with a somewhat proud smile.
"Ah! This seems to be Prada's new model this year, right? Fan Shengmei, you have suddenly become rich!" Colleagues looked at Fan Shengmei's clothes in surprise and said.
"Well, I'm also very distressed. It seems that I will have to live a life of "eating dirt" again."
"Hey! I would rather eat dirt every day, and also want the latest Prada." Women's mentality is always so complicated.
"Sisters, let's talk about it, let's talk about it, be careful about what I ask you to do!" Fan Shengmei said seriously to her colleagues while enjoying the envious looks from her colleagues.
"Don't worry! If I find a suitable house, I will introduce it to you."
Recently, without the harassment and demands from Fan's family, Fan Shengmei's life has become much easier, and she has the idea of moving to another apartment. After all, she now lives outside the 18th Ring Road in Shanghai, and commuting back and forth to get off work is still very painful. .
"Fan Shengmei, what kind of house are you looking for?" At this time, a colleague asked Fan Shengmei out of curiosity.
"The apartment! It's clean! The property management service in the community is good! The roommates are easy to talk to, and it's best if they are all women!" Fan Shengmei said a series of requests, but other colleagues were not surprised, because this was a normal request for them as workers.
"Hey! It's really difficult to find an apartment in Shanghai now. I dream of living in Tomson Yipin." One of the colleagues said sadly.
"Yes! If you meet a roommate who is mentally retarded while renting an apartment, life will be worse than death." Soon a colleague responded in agreement.
"Fan Shengmei, I know a community called "Ode to Joy". If you have time, you can go and find out for yourself." The colleague who just asked Fan Shengmei what she wanted suddenly said to Fan Shengmei.
"Ode to joy?"
"Yes! Last time I went to the "Ode to Joy Apartment" to find an old classmate. I felt that the environment there was really good and all the conditions met our needs. As for the issue of sharing roommates, it depends on your own luck.
." The female colleague explained with a smile.
"Sister Rui, thank you! I'll go take a look when I have a break tomorrow." Fan Shengmei looked at her colleague with a grateful face. It was really hard to find a house that she wanted.
"You're welcome! It's just a little effort."
...
After the last barbecue conversation, Lin Youyou's work attitude became much more correct, and she no longer flirted with Suning intentionally or unintentionally. Only then did Suning show a satisfied expression.
Suning is not Liu Xiahui, who is sitting still and happy, but in this small catering business, there is really no need to impose hidden rules on employees. It is better to leave the moral bottom line to more deserving women to break through.
Because the "Fan Lou" cultural catering company is on the right track, I can be considered a moderate boss, and then I bought a high-end car for transportation, which is much more comfortable than riding that little electric donkey.
When Father Fan and Mother Fan saw that their son had gotten into the car, they couldn't help being surprised, "Shengtang, is this the car your boss assigned you?"
"Absolutely! Mom, do you want me to take you for a drive?" Suning explained casually, and then suggested with a smile.
"OK!"
"Dad, Mom, that's good. Let's go out for dinner as a family tomorrow!" Seeing the surprised parents in front of her, Suning made arrangements with a smile.
"That's fine! Take little Leilei out for a walk."
"Master Jingbai" also looked at Suning with a happy face. It felt like Suning had changed. Except for being particularly passive at night, everything else was perfect.
When everyone had rested in the evening, "Master Jingbai" attacked Suning who was wearing a blindfold again, and she acted like she never knew how tired she was, but soon she felt a little bored, after all, there was no response to the happiness.
It's true happiness.
"Fan Shengtang, can you stop acting like a dead fish and give me some reaction?" Master Jingbai complained to Suning while sweating profusely.
"..."
The woman in front of her is so insatiable. Her physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people. Logically speaking, she should also be enjoying herself secretly, but "Master Jingbai" still cannot be satisfied. She never knows how to cherish what she gets, but she has already
Looking forward to what she never had, she felt that her desires were endless. Suning satisfied one of her desires, and soon another new desire appeared.
"Fan Shengtang, if you're not dead, let's take a breath."
"Qianzi, can you please save me the trouble of being busy with work during the day and having to deal with your troubles when I come back at night? Can you just let me have a rest?"
"Hmph! Fan Shengtang, what exactly are you doing outside now?"
"There was a boss who opened a restaurant. His business was usually huge and he didn't have time to manage it himself, so he left it to me to manage it."
"Ah? Then you are the manager of this hotel?" Zhao Qianzi looked at the man with the eyepatch in front of her in surprise.
"Eh? That's about right!"
"Shengtang, I have a cousin who is still unemployed in the country. How about you arrange a foreman for him?"
"Zhao Qianzi, I am also a part-time worker. Do you think my words can be effective?"
"You are the manager of the hotel! Who dare not listen to what you say?"
"Zhao Qianzi, that cousin of yours is so stupid, can he be the foreman of a restaurant?"
"Idiot! You have the right to do so without expiration! You don't care if my cousin is stupid or not. You have to get benefits for our family as soon as possible, so as not to regret it later if we are fired."
"I'm sorry! There's nothing I can do." Suning couldn't listen to Zhao Qianzi's fallacies, so she angrily covered herself with the quilt and turned around to fall asleep.
"Hmph! You are really useless." Seeing that Suning ignored her, Zhao Qianzi turned around and fell asleep in anger.
Suning was so angry that she was shaking all over. She thought about whether women all have this kind of mentality. Can't they live a peaceful life? They have to mess around endlessly and wear useless "hats" for their men.
Then it is really unreasonable to think that the delusion can always ride on a man's head.
