Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Inside the kitchen, Liu Lan was excitedly talking about the joke.

“MCA, you live in the same compound as Bang Keng, have you met his girlfriend?”

Ma Hua said, "I leave early and return late every day, how am I supposed to see his partner?"

"Liu Lan, don't blame me for not warning you. You've only been a lobby manager for a few days. If you keep spreading rumors like this, Manager Xie might just fire you."

Liu Lan rolled her eyes at Ma Hua and muttered something like, "What a disappointment."

"Fine, I won't say. But let me ask you, what are your thoughts on your sister's situation?"

Several years have passed since the reform and opening up, but many people's mindsets have not changed.

Many ordinary people still believe that staying in state-owned enterprises is the best way out.

Ma Hua's sister, Ma Yue, thought this way; more precisely, it was Ma Hua's sister's in-laws who thought this way.

When Ma Yue was looking for a job, He Yuzhu helped her get a job in a textile factory.

It was the textile factory where He Yushui used to work.

When the restaurant first opened, Ma Hua wanted Ma Yue to come and work there. Ma Yue agreed, but her mother-in-law disagreed.

They believe that losing a secure job and going out to work is like losing the big picture for a small gain.

In the end, Ma Yue had no choice but to give up.

But when the restaurant gave out perks at the end of the year, Ma Yue's mother-in-law was extremely envious.

After the New Year, the old woman changed her mind and wanted Ma Yue to work at the restaurant.

Ma Yue felt embarrassed and didn't say anything.

A while ago, Ma Yue's mother-in-law came to the restaurant, and Ma Hua treated her to a meal.

The implication in Ma Yue's mother-in-law's words was that she wanted Ma Yue to work at the restaurant.

Ma Hua was fed up with Ma Yue's mother-in-law and didn't want to talk to her anymore.

When Ma Yue's mother-in-law went back home, she talked about Ma Hua behind his back.

A waiter at the restaurant, who lived not far from Ma Yue's house, heard the news and told Ma Hua.

Ma Hua was annoyed by Ma Yue's mother-in-law, but he couldn't just ignore Ma Yue.

He had already spoken with He Yuzhu and arranged for Ma Yue to work at the factory after it opened.

When Liu Lan asked, Ma Hua did not hide anything.

Upon hearing this, Liu Lan said, "Your idea is good. Her mother-in-law is too troublesome. When your sister comes to the restaurant, she comes every few days, which affects our restaurant's business."

Oh, and there's one more thing. When is your master coming back?

"Why do you ask?"

Liu Lan said, "Isn't this my daughter? Is the factory not doing well? I want to talk to him and ask him to let my daughter work in the factory."

Upon hearing this, Ma Hua said, "You don't need to ask my master about this matter."

Miao Jianye is in charge of recruitment now. I'll let him know when I get back tonight.

Liu Lan said, "I know, I just thought it would be better to tell your master first."

Ma Hua glanced at Liu Lan and knew she had ulterior motives: "What are you trying to do?"

Liu Lan smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's nothing. My daughter only graduated from junior high school. I want her to go into management, not work in the workshop."

The work in the factory is too tiring, and you don't earn much money.

MCA dared not make any promises now.

The workshop needs many people, and there are no barriers to entry. As long as you are honest and hardworking, you can get in.

The management team is different. All of He Yuzhu's companies have management teams comprised of people he hired from Hong Kong.

In He Yuzhu's words, it was to align with international standards.

To align with international standards, the quality of management personnel is required to be very high.

MCA didn't dare say this to Ho Yu Chu.

Liu Lan didn't expect anything from him: "If your master is coming back, I'll go and talk to him."

On the other side, Tang Yanling and a few others asked some questions and learned a lot of secrets that others did not know.

For example, the restaurant owner is named He Yuzhu, who used to live in courtyard number 95.

As for the relationship between the Jia family and the He family, Bang Geng didn't say anything.

Bang Geng isn't stupid; he can see why Tang Yanling and the others are so enthusiastic towards him.

Tang Yanling and the others never imagined that neighbors who had lived in the same courtyard for decades could have such a bad relationship. Therefore, they didn't suspect the relationship between Bang Geng and He Yuzhu.

After they had almost finished eating, Tang Yanling tentatively asked, "Bang Geng, since you are so familiar with the people at Chaoyang Hotel, could you talk to them and ask me to work there as a waitress?"

Bang Geng's heart skipped a beat; he realized he'd gone too far with his boast. He could probably figure out a way to get some money.

Asking him to find Tang Yanling a job at a restaurant would be the death of him.

If he had that ability, he would have been working at the restaurant long ago, instead of working in a run-down factory.

Bang Geng is indeed Qin Huairu's son; his mind works pretty fast.

He whispered, "This problem shouldn't be difficult."

However, when they opened the restaurant, they wanted our family to help out, but my grandmother was afraid of losing her secure job, so she didn't agree.

I'm too embarrassed to ask right now.

They had already seen what Jia Zhangshi looked like, so they believed Bang Geng's words.

Tang Yanling was unwilling to give up and tried to persuade Bang Geng: "What's there to be embarrassed about?"

It wasn't you who refused; it was your grandmother who refused.

Besides, your current lousy job only pays a few dollars a month.

"That's my only request. If you don't agree, then we're done."

Tang Yanling's two best friends also tried to persuade Bang Geng.

Banggeng felt bitter inside, afraid that they would make a scene and others would find out, so he wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"I can't make the decision myself; I need to go home and discuss it with my family. Don't tell outsiders about this until it's settled."

Tang Yanling sensed an opportunity and quickly said, "That's only right. If Chaoyang Hotel were hiring, people would be scrambling to get in."

Let's go.

"Bang Geng, I beg you, please talk to your aunt when you get home. If I can get a job here, I'll marry you right away."

Tang Yanling's two best friends looked at her with envy: "Bang Geng, you can't forget us, otherwise we won't agree to let Yanling marry you."

While skillfully dealing with the three people, Bang Geng felt increasingly bitter inside.

He can't even get one spot, let alone three.

If his family could really secure a spot, his younger sisters, Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua, would have been working long ago.

The group prepared to leave and went to settle their bill.

This time, Tang Yanling beat Bang Geng to it and paid the bill for the meal.

"You've treated me so many times, this time it's my turn to treat you."

Her generosity was for a simple reason: she wanted to help Bang Geng get home and use her connections.

As Banggeng reached the door, he saw Duan Zicong: "Uncle Duan."

Duan Zicong saw Bang Geng and said, "Bang Geng, you've come to the restaurant with your friends."

"Yes, Uncle Duan."

Because He Yuzhu had a bad relationship with the Jia family, Duan Zicong's relationship with the Jia family was also just so-so.

However, this is a restaurant, and they're open for business, so Duan Zicong can't ignore Bang Geng just because of a grudge.

After the group left the restaurant, Tang Yanling asked curiously, "Who was that Uncle Duan just now?"

Bang Geng explained, "He is also the head chef of the restaurant, and he and Ma Hua are fellow apprentices."

Also, his wife was my elementary school homeroom teacher.

This shocked Tang Yanling even more.

If it weren't for the timing, she would have liked to go to the Jia family with Banggeng to meet her future mother-in-law.

"Bang Geng, when would be a good time for me to visit Auntie?"

"Oh, you're already eager to meet your future mother-in-law?" her two best friends teased sourly.

Tang Yanling naturally understood what the two were thinking, and resolutely used her body to separate the stick from them.

"That's what I meant, so what?"

The three of them joked with each other.

Banggeng followed listlessly, wanting only to take Tang Yanling home and then go to Qin Huairu to find a solution. (End of Chapter)
