Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

"It's awful." Qin Huairu said coldly. "Saying it's alright is being kind to you. If you ask me, it's awful."

"..." Seeing her mother sulking like this, Xiao Dang helplessly turned her gaze to Sha Zhu and Yang Jianguo.

"Uncle, I really love cooking, and I want to be a chef when I grow up."

Xiao Dang's eyes darted around, and she said cleverly, "That's a good idea. Look, Uncle Jie Cheng opened a restaurant, haven't you ever thought about opening one?"

"How about you open a restaurant, and I'll become your apprentice?"

Sha Zhu originally came to persuade Xiao Dang, but now she's the one who's convinced.

Hey, yeah!

If Yan Jiecheng can hire people to open a restaurant, why can't I open one myself?

With our skills, how could our restaurant business be bad?

However, the timing is a bit difficult to coordinate, and someone has to help out.

Glancing at Xiao Dang standing in front of him, Sha Zhu thought to himself, 'If it were her, I'd really feel at ease.'

Xiao Dang was a well-known good kid in the courtyard.

She is very polite to everyone she meets, and she has been sensible since she was a child. She helps take care of her younger sister and helps her mother pick vegetables and cook.

At the age of seven, he could cook and steam buns by himself.

When they see elderly people carrying heavy things outside, they lend a hand if they can.

She was always among the most diligent when the school organized activities.

She's a good girl, and Shazhu is happy to believe her from the bottom of his heart.

If you were to open a restaurant and let her manage it, Sha Zhu wouldn't even bother checking the accounts.

Of course, this is just an analogy.

If it really works out, Ran Qiuye will have to check the accounts even if he doesn't.

Without checking, you won't even know where the break-even point is, so what's the point of doing charity?

"Hey, no, I can't stop thinking about opening the business." Sha Zhu shook his head, trying to banish the thought.

This girl has found her own lifeline.

Sha Zhu was lost in thought, but Qin Huairu patiently and persistently tried to persuade her and reason with her.

She did want Yang Jianguo to say a few words, but she knew even more that her master valued people's freedom of choice and freedom of action the most.

I've never seen him, outside of work, force anyone to do things his way.

Therefore, Qin Huairu was genuinely afraid of letting him speak.

Instead, it became something like, "Uncle Yang supports you; there are 360 ​​professions, and every profession can produce an expert."

It must be said that Qin Huairu's apprenticeship was worthwhile; he understood Yang Jianguo's thoughts perfectly.

He genuinely felt that Xiao Dang's choice was not wrong.

If we wait another twenty or thirty years, when we are about to enter or have already entered the new century...

Yang Jianguo firmly supports Qin Huairu, believing that children must go to school to have a future.

But now, what is about to happen is a crazy, barbaric era where money is everywhere.

With Xiao Dang's quick wit, plus her high school education level, she was able to succeed.

Who knows, he might actually become one of the rising stars, soaring to great heights and achieving great success.

Judging from her recent proposal to cooperate with Sha Zhu, the probability is not small.

If they do well, even in the worst of Beijing's catering industry, they'll still have a place.

To live a life of wealth and luxury is certainly a glorious existence.

Studying, getting a university degree, and then working for a few more years isn't any worse than this. In recent years, the value of a university degree has become ridiculously high.

But how far will she ultimately go? Is she suited for a career in politics? Is it possible that she will make mistakes along the way?

It's hard to say for sure; there are pros and cons to it all!

“No, I don’t agree. You have to finish your studies.” After a long discussion, Qin Huairu asserted her authority as a mother.

Since I can't persuade you, I'll just have to be tough with you. Your wings aren't fully grown yet!

Seeing her mother acting like a spoiled child, Xiao Dang was both amused and exasperated.

Let's not talk about it anymore; we should persuade people with reason and virtue.

You can't handle this?!

Chapter 326 Prevention is worse than Prevention: The Cooperative Project Team is Established

"Uncle Yang, look at my mom, she's cheating!" Xiao Dang stomped her feet and whined.

Qin Huairu was a little nervous, afraid that Yang Jianguo would give in to the girl directly. "Master, you said that you should study more so that you can be capable in the future."

The mother and daughter were instead put on hold by Yang Jianguo.

Amused, Yang Jianguo nodded and said, "You two are both right. You have the ability to go to school, and you have the ability to learn a trade."

"Everyone has their own destiny in life, and no one can say for sure which way is better."

“In today’s world, going to school is one of the most direct and fair ways to change one’s social class.”

Hearing him say that, Qin Huairu was overjoyed, and her expression brightened.

See? Your Uncle Yang said the same thing. Let's see what you have to say this time.

"but……"

As soon as those two words were uttered, Xiao Dang's dim eyes lit up.

Qin Huairu's smug face paled.

“Craftsmen also have their own way of life. If you can really do what your mother and Uncle He are like, that’s quite an achievement.”

Noticing Qin Huairu's gaze, Yang Jianguo looked directly at her and said, "You yourself are a worker, am I wrong?"

Qin Huairu opened her mouth, then shut it again!

That's true, but she suffered so much to get where she is today.

How can a mother let her child kneel down the path she herself has walked?

“Xiao Dang’s situation is different from yours. He’s a high school student, so it’s easier for him to learn a trade than for you.”

“However,” Yang Jianguo paused, then said, “learning to be a chef isn’t easy either; just mastering knife skills alone takes a lifetime.”

"Even now, your Uncle He still has to practice his basic skills from time to time, otherwise he'll get rusty."

Hearing him say this, Sha Zhu nodded in agreement: "That's right. If you want to make a living this way, you can't lose your basic skills."

“I think we should let her try it out first,” Yang Jianguo suggested, trying to balance both approaches.

We can't neglect our studies; we still need to focus on learning.

In her spare time, she goes to the kitchen to help out, starting with the basics, so that she can experience it for herself.

Whether something is feasible or not cannot be decided simply by talking.

You have to let her feel and experience it for herself before she can understand the ins and outs.

Does it make sense to just talk about it?!

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu quickly nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll do as you say, Master."

Xiao Dang agreed, "I also agree with what Uncle Yang said."

It's just about balancing both, even if it's a bit more work for me.

Xiao Dang felt confident that she would be fine...

Exactly, where should she go to learn this?

Working in a factory is definitely not an option, as it conflicts with her school schedule.

By the time she got back from school, she had already finished work and gone home.

"Well," Sha Zhu said, his eyes darting around, "wait a few days, I'll ask around for you."

"That's settled then. It's getting late, let's hurry up and get going."

Yang Jianguo raised his wrist to check the time, then walked out.

Qin Huairu got up and followed, saying, "Xiao Dang, you should hurry to school too. We agreed that we can't fall behind in our studies."

"Mom, don't worry, I definitely won't fall behind." Xiao Dang smiled confidently.

Once outside, Qin Huairu rode her bike along the alleyway, still feeling uneasy: "Master, do you think she can hold on?"

"That depends on her. It's better to guide than to block. Maybe she'll find it too hard after a few days and stop mentioning it!"

Qin Huairu nodded, thinking it made some sense.

It's better to guide than to block; she had learned this principle, and it made sense.

Upon arriving at his workplace, Yang Jianguo went straight to the laboratory. "Master Huo, Shao Dong, you two come here for a moment."

Yang Jianguo called the two of them over and handed them his notebook, saying, "Take a look at Dongxi's notes here, and remember to keep it a secret."

Xiang Shaodong and Master Huo exchanged a glance and opened their laptops.

Once you look at me, you can't look away.

At lunchtime, the two sat shoulder to shoulder, their heads close together.

To the eye, they looked like conjoined twins.

It wasn't until night, after they had finished flipping through the notebook, that the two of them looked up again.

That's when I realized my neck was sore.

Her eyes stung and felt blurry; tears streamed down her face as she blinked. "Master Huo, what do you think?"

But their minds were still entirely on the data in the laptop.

The incredibly detailed data and processes are captivating.

The two of them now wanted to know how Yang Jianguo had obtained this data.

"In my opinion... our director is a capable person." Master Huo rubbed his eyelids, his tone full of emotion.

The more you interact with your boss, the more you realize how capable he is.

Not to mention ordinary people, you can't find another one like him in the entire system.

No wonder the higher-ups gave him so much power.

They supported his innovation by establishing a precision engineering research institute and appointed him as the manager of the joint venture.

Their abilities are undeniable; it's hard for you to ignore them.

If someone else were to take his place, they would need to be capable of doing so, would they?

Anyway, Master Huo has never seen him.

"Alright, let's not think about all that nonsense, let's just talk about what to do!"

Yang Jianguo handed this over to the two of them, and the meaning was obvious.

I've laid out and thoroughly studied the Japanese devils' technology for you, and I'll put Dongxi right in front of you.

How to learn, how to modify, how to make it your own.

That depends on your abilities.

“I’ll start by finding a few reliable people, and we’ll carve out a space in the lab specifically for this research.”

"Okay." Xiang Shaodong nodded in agreement, and the matter was settled.

The next day, Master Huo called away several highly skilled craftsmen from the research institute.

After that, the work site changed; it was no longer in the experimental office building that had been allocated to us in the Ministry of Industry compound.

It was directly transferred to Loongson Technology Co., Ltd., becoming a collaborative project between the company and the research institute.
