Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Yang Hua was also helpless. It wasn't that he wasn't good enough, nor that he couldn't speak properly, but Qin Liling's requirements were higher, and she hadn't given a reply yet.

Of course, they didn't refuse either; they're probably still observing. After all, Qin Liling was the one who got divorced. Their concerns are understandable, aren't they?
"Tell me, what did your master say that made you rush to see your grandfather?"

The old man gave Yang Hua a disdainful glare, then became curious about why Yang Hua had returned home. His eldest grandson wasn't an ordinary person; nothing could easily rouse his attention, unless…

"Grandpa, Master said..."

After relaying He Yuzhu's words, Yang Hua remained silent. With his current experience, he could not determine He Yuzhu's true purpose, which was why he rushed back to report to the old man!

The old man remained silent after listening. He Yuzhu's words caused a huge uproar. Was this the same cook who used to come to their house to cook?

Given He Yuzhu's position, he couldn't possibly have access to much information. So why did he urge his grandson to persevere?
"Grandson, He Yuzhu has cooked at our house before. I didn't have time to learn more about him then, but now it seems he's quite capable. Tomorrow is Sunday, so come with me to He's Restaurant. If there's a chance, I'd like to have a chat with your master!"

Yang Hua was taken aback. Why was Grandpa thinking of taking a trip? Was it really appropriate to go to He's Restaurant at this time? Wouldn't it send a signal to someone with ulterior motives?

"Hehe, you are the number one person in our Yang family. Your every word and action represents the will of the Yang family. Therefore, we can no longer stand aside, understand?"

The old man shook his head. At this point, it wasn't so easy to remain aloof. Ever since Yang Hua started testing the waters, the Yang family had already been drawn into the game and could only hope for victory.
"Grandpa, what about the Dong and Chen families? My brother is still with Dong Yong..."

No one can sway the old man's decision. Now that's the case, the Dong and Chen families have a choice. How should they proceed?
"You don't need to worry about those two families. What you need to do now is to do as He Yuzhu says. Hehe, the meaning is very clear!"

Old ginger is spicier; the old man understood He Yuzhu's meaning immediately... He himself hadn't even realized it yet!
"Grandpa means... I should do as he says?"

How is it so clear? It's just a research project. The topic has been given, but it doesn't say what the research will entail!

"Idiot! Isn't He Yuzhu's meaning very clear? Just do as he says!"

The old man shook his head. According to some investigations, He Yuzhu might be Qin Liling's biological father. If that's the case, He Yuzhu's behavior can be understood!
"Yes!"

"Well, since they've made that choice, we should naturally support them. Tell Yang Huajian to keep an eye on Dong Yong and Chen Yousai, and provide necessary assistance when appropriate!"

"Yes, Grandpa!"

The Yang family's discussions came to an end, but He Yuzhu was considering the preparations for the opening of the branch store. The branch needed a mature and prudent person to take charge, and Ma Hua might not be able to control it.

But it won't work if there's no one here. Qiuyue is all alone; she can't be split up, can she? Besides, someone has their eye on He's Restaurant!
Qiuyue is certainly capable enough. She has been studying for many years without stopping and has even simulated many times. Now she needs to put it into practice, but how does she deploy troops?
"Honey, I'd like to let your husband take charge of the kitchen at the new store. How about leaving things here to you? Cashier Qi Zongling should be able to handle it, and as for the manager, Qin Huairu could give it a try!" Qi Zongling is one of the five waitresses. She's learned a lot from Cai Qiuyue recently, and she'll be put in charge of the new store from the start. If she's capable, she can be trained to be the manager!

"Hmm... Let's just have the two of us go to the new store. We can leave this place to Qi Zonglin and have Huai Ru keep an eye on things. There are bigger challenges ahead there, and I don't feel comfortable letting a newcomer go!"

He Yuzhu adopted a system of three separate slips for the waiter, chef, and cashier. That is, each time a dish is ordered, the waiter records it, the second copy is given to the chef, and the third copy is given to the cashier. After get off work, the three parties reconcile the accounts.

This way, the cashiers can be subject to certain restrictions to prevent embezzlement. Therefore, Cai Qiuyue wanted to go over there herself. Things were already on track, and Qi Zongling could handle the cashiering without any problem!

“Okay, then I’ll take Ma Hua over. Didn’t Second Brother also want to come out? We’ll leave this place to the old man and Second Brother to take charge of the kitchen.”
As for the front of house, leave everything to Qin Huairu; the cashiers are directly under your management!

No matter what, you must always keep the money and personnel in your own hands. Although Qin Huairu is not an outsider, He Yuzhu, due to the influence of his past life, cannot fully trust her and can only keep her in check.
"Okay, let's start the renovations. We should ask the higher-ups for approval before opening. As for whether there are any issues with continuing to recruit, it would be best to get their instructions!"

"I understand. After you and the children finish packing, take the money and go back. I'm going to the tavern. It's time to release these wines in different grades; they can't all be sold in bulk!"

"Alright, don't drink. It's not safe late at night!"

Cai Qiuyue did not object. The people who come to eat are all kinds of people. Dividing the drinks into different grades will naturally increase the turnover. From a business perspective, since the restaurant is open to make money, we should naturally find a way.
However, things haven't been very peaceful on the streets lately. There have been frequent fights among gangsters and drunken misbehavior. At this critical moment, Cai Qiuyue couldn't help but remind He Yuzhu to take precautions!
"Yeah, I'm not in the mood for drinking. As for safety, don't worry, with my skills, those brats are no match for me!"

He Yuzhu left He's Restaurant and rode his bicycle toward Zhengyangmen. About ten minutes later, he saw Han Chunming acting suspiciously.

He Yuzhu was taken aback. Was this kid up to no good? He was acting suspiciously, clearly up to no good. He was supposed to be an upright person, but he was always so unruly. It was outrageous!

"Han Chunming, why did you call me out? My grandma won't let me have any contact with you!"

"Su Meng, it's been so long since I've seen you! Let's go out and chat!"

He Yuzhu was stunned. That girl with two braids was all looks and no substance? Good heavens, Han Chunming turned into a super simp for this woman? That's so theatrical!
Let's chat!

Su Meng lowered her head and kicked at the pebbles at her feet. She didn't know what to do. To be honest, she liked Han Chunming.
However, she has now been admitted to university, while Han Chunming has not. Although her parents have not objected, they have not supported her either. However, her grandmother has given a clear warning that she is not allowed to have any contact with Han Chunming in the future.

But the moment I close my eyes, I remember Han Chunming saving people at Beihai Park. Even though he's a bit unreliable, he's a good person at heart! (End of Chapter)
