Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 519 Smart people are everywhere

Yu Qiu said, "Not necessarily. Right now, those with technical skills are definitely more suitable. But it's hard to say what will happen in the future. As more and more people learn these skills, they will become less valuable. In the end, it will all come down to performance. So I think that the basic salary for store managers in the future will definitely not be that high. They will not necessarily have to know how to make cakes, but they will have to know how to run a business. Their income will mainly come from bonuses."

Zuo Hong thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense. I've found that Yu Qiu's brain is actually quite capable."

Yu Qiu said, "Besides, didn't you hear what the boss said? We're opening branches in every city, so each city needs a person in charge, right? So how can the salaries be low? You don't need to ask for anything else, just do this job, and you'll definitely earn tens or hundreds of thousands a year. Trust me."

Zuo Hong clenched her fist and shouted, "Stick to the boss, and you'll get promoted and make a fortune! I'm going all in, I'm going to Fengtian, and if my mom doesn't agree, I'll run away."

Liu Shangyue pretended to cry and said, "What should I do? I should have known better than to start dating so early."

Shan Hongmei said, "Are you stupid? Fengtian isn't that far from here, and you're not married yet. Just go out and work for now. If you really make money, I don't believe your boyfriend won't be happy. If he has the nerve, he shouldn't spend it."

Zuo Hong said, "Yeah, yeah, if you earn a thousand a month, let's see what your boyfriend dares to say. If he's so capable, he can earn that too."

Yu Qiu suddenly exclaimed "Huh?", frowned, thought for a while, and said, "No, no, no, Liu Shangyue, you don't need to go to Fengtian. You can just stay here."

The girls all looked at Yu Qiu. Yu Qiu coughed, put the cigarette behind her ear, and said, "Look, the boss is going to open cake shops and restaurants all over the province, build a big food factory in Fengtian, and even open a training school there, right?"

Zuo Hong stared wide-eyed and said, "He has to go to Fengtian."

Yu Qiu slapped his thigh and said, "That's right, he'll definitely be staying in Fengtian from now on. So what about here? Doesn't he need someone in charge? The school has everything—recruitment, internships, the cafeteria—someone needs to be in charge and manage it, right?"

An Lihua said, "Once the three of us leave, Shang Yue automatically becomes the person in charge, and she's even more comfortable than us. Isn't that a case of fools having good fortune?"

Yu Qiu pointed at Liu Shangyue and said, "You need to think about it now, whether you'll still be considered part of the Labor Bureau in the future. Let me tell you, if you still are, you won't be able to become the person in charge. Even if you do, you'll just be getting the same salary, maybe with a little bonus at most."

Liu Shangyue blinked blankly. Zuo Hong said, "Oh dear, this will take at least six or seven years. Why think so much? What's the use of thinking about things six or seven years from now? Will you be able to get a permanent position in the Labor Bureau in six or seven years? That's a pipe dream. Just follow the boss; at least you'll make money."

An Lihua and Shan Hongmei both nodded: "Yes, yes, Xiao Hong is right."

Liu Shangyue blinked her big eyes, looking at this person and then at that person, and said, "Why do I feel like I'm making a fool of myself in front of you all?"

Zuo Hong said, "A woman in love has a negative IQ. You really are an idiot right now. A negative IQ doesn't mean you're stupid, does it?"

Liu Shangyue jumped up and rushed over to pinch Zuo Hong, while the girls laughed and shouted together.

Yu Qiu said, "Stop fooling around. Hongmei, hurry up and make a form to investigate who stayed in the pastry class and who went back to open their own shops. An Lihua, you check the chef class; you have their phone numbers, right? Shangyue, you organize the new student information. Zuo Hong, do we need to rearrange the accommodations here?"

The maids, panting heavily, let go and went back to their work. After fiddling around for a while, Zuo Hong said, "Wait a minute, Yu Qiu, what gives you the right to order us around?"

Yu Qiu said, "I'll go check the car." She got up, opened the door, and ran off.

An Lihua said, "Yu Qiu will definitely succeed in the future; Hong Mei is truly blessed."

……

A week has quietly passed.

The grocery store had been divided into two halves, one large and one small, by wooden boards. The after-sales service team from Shendi Billiard Tables, who came from Fengtian, was busy leveling the tables. It was just a matter of moving a table; Boss Shi wasn't there. That's the troublesome thing about billiard tables—once they're moved, they have to be leveled again.

The billiards club room is now empty. Manager Sun from the grocery store is hiring people to build counters and tile them inside. The grocery store's counters are made of bricks, one meter high, covered with tiles, and then used to display items or glass cabinets. Once his side is finished and moved in, the original store area will start demolishing.

Li Gengsheng has moved his office to the school. Xiao Wei considered it for a while and decided to leave Li Gengsheng in Longcheng for the time being. Someone still needed to manage all the accounts for the restaurant, food factory, and cake shop. They would deal with that later, after the Fengtian site was built and completed.

Xie Xiaolong is still in Longcheng for the time being. He can only go there after the equipment is built and installed. However, the food factory is basically under Sister Shang's management, with Xie Xiaolong occasionally providing guidance as a transitional measure. The Xiali that Lao Xia bought has become Xie Xiaolong's car without him even driving it for a day.

The dough-making work was handed over to Guan He, and the biscuit machine was to be dismantled and moved to Fengtian. The entire second floor was then used as a dough-making workshop.

Yu Qiu spends every day searching for a house all over the city.

Xiao Wei was currently on the train to Andong with Lao Xu from the timber yard and a few others.

Anton's shop needs to be renovated.

"The style is basically still based on Fengtian, but the specific details need to be adjusted. This house is a bit complicated, divided into front and back sections, with stairs leading up to both. The third floor is hidden behind the second floor, not on top. I guess you won't understand if I explain it like this, so go to the site."

Xiao Wei gestured for a long time but still couldn't explain the shape of the house. The key point is that each floor of this house is different, with twists and turns. The Soviet Union, the big brother back then, did a really careless job.

Old Xu looked at Xiao Wei's sketch and said, "It's okay, you just need to decide on the style, I'll figure out the rest. Do you still need to reserve a food production workshop and dormitories there?"

Xiao Wei said, "It's too big, we can't use it all. After thinking it over, I think we should build a food processing plant. It doesn't need to be too big, just enough to supply the cake shops in the area from Andong to Fengcheng. The mountain roads here are difficult to navigate, and it would be too much trouble to deliver from Fengtian."

Old Xu said, "The first floor is the kitchen and cake shop, right? The second floor has tables, the third floor has private rooms, and the back of the first floor has a food factory and dormitories. Your drawing is too abstract. There are a few places I can't figure out without seeing the site. Never mind, we'll see when we get there." He rolled up the drawing and put it in his pocket, took a cigarette from the coffee table, lit it, and took a puff.

"We're opening three or four more stores in Fengtian, and Dalian is opening one too. I reckon you won't be idle for the rest of the year. We can't run out of timber, right?" Xiao Wei asked Lao Xu.
