Chapter 224: You are such a great man
Seeing that the workers in the restaurant's kitchen were working hard, Suning knew that this situation could not last long. People have a lot of lazy thinking, and blindly forcing them with high pressure is not advisable at all. They should also be given appropriate rewards.

However, in this special era, the reward mechanism happens to be the most troublesome. As long as Suning proposes to use the restaurant's money to reward outstanding employees today, it may be said to be violating regulations tomorrow. Not only will it be demoted to the bottom, but the senior leaders behind it may also be implicated.

Therefore, if you want to use the reward mechanism to encourage employees, you have to pay out of your own pocket, and more importantly, you can't let others find out what you're doing wrong, so Suning turned its attention to its own storage space.

Yixin searched for a long time in his storage space, and finally saw some scattered New Year supplies in the corner. Most of them were "New Year supplies" that he had exchanged for by writing calligraphy couplets in the world of "Children of the Qiao Family" before he went to college.

After going to college, especially after the dividends from "Harry Potter" arrived, he no longer worried about money. More money was spent on buying calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, so the storage space was filled with more gold and precious calligraphy and paintings.

Although these calligraphy and paintings by famous artists cannot see the light of day in this courtyard world, they can still be collected as a hobby. Seeing that there were nearly five kilograms of sugar in the space, Suning had an idea.

Before leaving get off work in the evening, Suning checked the kitchen again. Looking at the clean, tidy and brand new kitchen, Suning nodded with satisfaction.

"Yeah! Very good! You guys did a really good job today!"

"." The employees, who were tired and had back pain, reacted indifferently to Suning's praise.

Seeing that everyone was unhappy, Suning smiled indifferently and took out his "trump card".

"It's my first meeting, and I'm making everyone work so hard to clean up. I feel bad too!

But this is what we have to do if we want to continue operating!
So from now on, I have to clean the kitchen before leaving get off work every day!"

"Ah? We're still going to do it!"

"Quiet! Everyone, quiet down!
Of course everyone will feel very tired when dealing with garbage that has accumulated over several years at once!

But from now on, it will be very easy to keep the kitchen clean every day!"

"That's easy for you to say!" one of the employees muttered softly.

Suning heard the employees' grumbling, but smiled indifferently and said, "In order to encourage everyone's work enthusiasm, I plan to hold an evaluation for outstanding kitchen staff once a month.

For outstanding employees, half a pound of sugar will be rewarded!"

"What? Half a pound of sugar? Is that true?" The employees in front were all shocked and looked at Suning with stars in their eyes.

"Haha, of course it's true!"

Seeing everyone's doubts, Suning smiled and reached into his pocket. In fact, a small bag of half a pound of sugar came out from the space.

Seeing Suning actually taking out white sugar as white as snow from his pocket, the employees were shocked and swallowed their saliva. It was really too hard in that era. To get daily necessities, one not only needed various receipts, but also money and very strong connections.

"Manager, how many outstanding employees will be selected every month?" After seeing that there would be benefits, the employees changed their way of addressing Suning, and finally remembered that Suning was also a manager.

"Haha, from now on, everyone should just call me Master He!

I will only be responsible for the work in the kitchen!

As for how many outstanding employees there will be each month, it is not fixed!
There could be just one, or all of you, or even none, so it all depends on your actions!"

After hearing Suning’s straightforward explanation, the kitchen staff all understood that whether one is an excellent employee depends on his or her performance, and only Suning has the final say.

Suning played a "king bomb" in the kitchen, which completely aroused everyone's enthusiasm for work, as if they could get half a pound of sugar next month.

You Fengxia in the front hall had been paying attention to Suning's actions. At first, when she saw Suning desperately asking everyone to clean up, she guessed that he would definitely be resisted by everyone. You Fengxia was waiting to see Suning make a fool of himself.

Unexpectedly, Suning suddenly gave everyone a blow and immediately took out a handful of "sweet dates" and made a "white sugar" reward. You Fengxia was shocked and a little worried. Where did Suning get the white sugar from? If he made any mistakes, would it implicate her, You Fengxia?

"Master He, what is going on?

I heard that you took out a lot of sugar from the kitchen?
Do you also want to reward the kitchen staff?"

"Yeah! Reward good employees who work hard!"

"But where did you get so much sugar?

Did I make some mistake?

And you can't use the restaurant's funds to reward your employees!"

"Manager You, I think you misunderstood!

I took out the leftover sugar and gave it as a reward to the excellent kitchen staff. It didn't use any of the restaurant's public funds!
Even if there are other expenses in the future, the reward will come from my own salary, so what can go wrong?"

"Huh? Are you really willing to spend your own money and supplies to reward everyone?"

"Haha, Manager You, I'm only in charge of the kitchen, and I won't give you direct monetary rewards!

It will only be some physical rewards such as sugar and scraps of cloth!"

"Where did you get so many things?" You Fengxia thought that Suning would also take care of the front-of-house staff, but she didn't expect that he was only responsible for those in the kitchen. Then she looked at Suning in front of her with a questioning look.

“Haha, the mountain man has his own clever plan!

I didn't steal or rob, I just used my own salary to buy it through normal channels!"

"Huh? Fine! Just make your own decisions!

However, Master He, I have to remind you.

This is your personal behavior and has nothing to do with the restaurant or me, You Fengxia!"

Seeing that You Fengxia finally said something to avoid suspicion, Suning smiled indifferently. He never expected that anyone would share the responsibility with him, as long as they didn't hold him back.

After warning Suning in front of her, You Fengxia was still a little confused. She really couldn't understand why Suning did such a thankless task. After all, she didn't have the concept of "the more work, the more pay" in her mind.

After a busy day, Suning returned to the courtyard at almost nine o'clock. The courtyard had become quiet because the neighbors had all gone to sleep.

Looking in the direction of his home, Su Ning suddenly felt lonely. His sister He Yushui was married, and there was no one in the cold house waiting for his return home late.

Suning, who had just opened the door, suddenly saw an unknown "thing" jumping out from the side, and questioned the "thing" in front of him in horror.

"Who?"

"It's me! You're such an old man! Is there any need to be so surprised?"

"Uncle, are you crazy? Don't you know that scaring others can kill them?"

"Huh? What have you been doing recently? Why do you always go out early and come back late?" Uncle Yi Zhonghai knew that his sudden appearance was too rash, so he stopped arguing about it.

"What else can I do? Isn't it just serving the boss?

If their leader doesn't leave, I, as a cook, can't leave either!"

"You've been so busy lately, you must have made a lot of money, right?"

Hearing the question from the old man Yi Zhonghai, Suning was really surprised. With the help of the faint moonlight, he moved his face closer to check the old man in front of him.

Uncle Yi Zhonghai was also very surprised to see Suning's strange behavior in response to his question. But before he could be surprised for long, he saw Suning directly start to tear his face hard.

The old man, in unbearable pain, angrily slapped Su Ning's hand away, then scolded Su Ning angrily, "Zhu Zi, what's wrong with you?"

"Hey! You're really an old man!
The question you just asked seems to be something only our courtyard's third uncle, Yan Bugui, could ask!"

"I"

"Uncle Yi, you are not possessed by Uncle San, are you?

This is not right either!
Uncle Three isn't dead yet, so he can't possess you!" Su Ning continued teasingly.

"Zhu Zi, what are you talking about here! Answer my question quickly!" Uncle Yi Zhonghai rubbed his face which was hurt by Suning and asked unhappily.

"Uncle, this is because you are not aware enough!
Preparing a banquet for the leader is such an honor, and you're actually talking about money? "Suning won't let go of such a good opportunity easily.

"Vulgar! So vulgar! I never thought you would be such a jerk!"

Hearing Suning's sarcasm towards him, the old man Yi Zhonghai suddenly paused and turned away angrily, but then he thought about something else in his mind and turned to look at Suning again.

"Shazhu, did you know that Lou Xiao'e from the old lady's room is missing?"

"Gone? Are you kidding me again, uncle?
How could she, a living person, suddenly disappear? "

Uncle Yi Zhonghai carefully observed Su Ning's expression and found nothing unusual. "Silly Zhu, do you really not know where Lou Xiao'e went?"

"Uncle, I don't like to hear what you said!

Why are you bothering me instead of looking for Lou Xiao'e's ex-husband Xu Damao?

"That's enough! Stop yelling!

I'm just asking casually. If you don't know, then you don't know!

What a lot of nonsense! "

Seeing the old man turning away angrily, and seeing him changing his name from "Pillar" to "Silly Pillar", I knew that I had really hurt his face just now, otherwise he wouldn't be so furious.

Suning knew that it was fortunate that it was the middle of the night. The old man was worried that it would disturb the rest of the neighbors in the courtyard, otherwise the old man would definitely jump up and curse Suning, because Suning used too much force and his face would definitely be swollen tomorrow morning.

After taking revenge on the old man, Suning happily returned to his room, washed his feet casually, and went to bed to sleep.

When the old man Yi Zhonghai returned home, he was still rubbing his face. The old woman who was awakened was also shocked to see the old man in such a state.

"Old Yi, what's wrong with you?
I just went to the bathroom, how did it become like this?"

"Hey! Stop talking! It's so annoying!" Uncle Yi Zhonghai was speechless and angrily scolded the aunt for her nagging.

When the aunt saw Yi Zhonghai behaving like this, she shook her head helplessly, realizing that Yi Zhonghai must have suffered a great loss outside, which made Yi Zhonghai, who was very concerned about his reputation, feel very miserable.

The aunt quickly took out the medicine box. Fortunately, she had been taking medicine for many years and had all kinds of medicines at home. She took out the blood-dissolving and pain-relieving plaster and applied it on Yi Zhonghai's face without saying a word.

As his wife applied the medicine gently, feeling the pain on his face eased, Yi Zhonghai looked at his wife who had been silent but understood him very well, and he was suddenly moved.

"My dear, do you think we are wrong?"

"What?" The old lady who had been giving Yi Zhonghai medicine with all her heart was a little surprised when she suddenly heard Yi Zhonghai's question.

“I said, are we wrong?
Shouldn't we place all our hopes for retirement on Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu?"

"Hey!"

The aunt just sighed, but did not answer Yi Zhonghai's question, because she knew it was useless to say anything, as the uncle Yi Zhonghai was now possessed.

Seeing that his wife did not answer his question, Uncle Yi Zhonghai did not care and started thinking on his own. It was just a casual question and he did not really want to get an answer from his wife. It was more like he was asking himself.

Some questions don't need answers at all. Maybe Yi Zhonghai himself doesn't know why he has come to this point. He keeps tricking Suning again and again, and unknowingly tricks himself.

Just imagine that if Uncle Yi Zhonghai had adopted a child from the beginning, or adopted one from a relative, instead of making all kinds of excuses and taking advantage of others, it would never have come to this.

Of course, Yi Zhonghai would never be able to figure out these things. He had become completely obsessed, just like Qin Huairu, and both of them placed all their hopes on exploiting others, and never tried to change themselves.

Lou Xiao'e took her parents and said goodbye to her lover Suning. She set sail from Tianjin by boat. After several days and nights of bumpy sea travel, she finally set foot on the land of Hong Kong.

Seeing her parents' pale faces, Lou Xiao'e suddenly remembered Su Ning's reminder and asked nervously, "Mom and Dad, you look so ugly?

I'll take you to the hospital!"

"No need! It's just because of the bumpy sea life for several consecutive days. You'll be fine after a rest!" Lou's mother was very touched when she heard her daughter's concern, but she smiled indifferently.

Mr. Lou, who was standing by, was too weak to speak and could only force a smile to show that he didn't have any serious problems.

Lou Xiao'e looked at her parents and remembered Suning's reminder again. She made up her mind and no longer asked her parents' opinions. She took the old couple directly to the best Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital in Hong Kong.

Unconsciously, Lou Xiao'e was also influenced by Suning. In Beijing, she heard Suning say that the cancer center of Hong Kong's Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital was the best and that she should take her parents there for a physical examination.

Seeing Lou Xiao'e registering and paying the fee in a familiar manner, as if she was very familiar with Hong Kong, both Lou's father and mother were shocked. After all, this was Lou Xiao'e's first time in Hong Kong.

"Xiao'e, why do you seem to know so much about Hong Kong?"

"Haha, my brother told me!"

"Silly Zhu? How does he know the situation in Hong Kong?
Isn't he just a cook?" Lou's mother was very surprised.

"Mom, don't call my brother Shazhu anymore!
He hates it most when his family calls him "Shazhu". You must remember this from now on!

"Okay! Okay! I'll listen to you! I'll call him Zhuzi from now on!" Seeing that her daughter treated Su Ning sincerely, Lou's mother joked happily.

"As for how my brother knew about the situation in Hong Kong, he didn't tell me in detail!
I guess he got the information from some important leaders!"

"Also! My brother sorted out a lot of information about Hong Kong for me.

As long as we invest according to the information he compiled, our Lou and He families will surely prosper!"

"Haha, do you trust your brother so much?"

"Of course! Brother seems unremarkable from a distance, but when you really step into his world, you will discover his personal charm and outstanding abilities!" Lou Xiao'e thought of Suning who was far away in Beijing with a nostalgic look on her face.

"Well! Xiao'e, I believe what you said!

But have you ever thought that you and Zhuzi are separated and may never meet again in this life!" Mother Lou looked at her daughter and couldn't help but sighed.

Lou's father, who was sleeping on the hospital bed waiting for the test results, heard Lou's mother's persuasion to his daughter and looked at his daughter with a worried look on his face.

Hearing her parents' concerns, Lou Xiao'e of course understood what her mother meant. She looked at her parents with a determined face and said, "Mom and Dad, I understand what you mean!
But now my whole heart is on my brother, I must wait for him!
Whether it's one year, ten years, or even a lifetime, I have no regrets! "

Seeing their daughter so determined, Lou's father and mother were both happy and worried. They were happy that their daughter had finally walked out of the shadow of divorce and found the other half she loved, but they were worried that their daughter and her other half were separated by the world and they didn't know when they would meet again.

The next morning, the medical reports of Lou's father and mother came out. A foreign doctor walked into the ward with the medical reports and said, "Ms. Lou, your parents' medical reports are out!"

"Dr. Joseph, what's the result?"

"Ms. Lou, your mother is in good health. She's just exhausted from the long journey. She'll recover after a few days of rest!

only"

"Just what?" Lou Xiao'e and Lou's father and mother all looked nervous.

"It's just that your father's health is not optimistic. The test results show that he has early-stage cancer."

"Ah? What should I do?"

"But you don't need to worry too much. Fortunately, we discovered it in time. If it had been delayed for another year or two, it would have been too late to save the situation!"

"That's not bad!" Lou Xiao'e and her family were also somewhat relieved.

Thinking that they came for a physical examination because of the reminder from Su Ning who was far away in Beijing, Lou's father and mother no longer objected to their daughter and Su Ning's relationship.
