Chapter 2285
The Country is Gone, Strange Woman?
Why do people say that Xiao Er played a good hand terribly?
It's not that He Yuzhu doesn't think highly of Xiao Er and his wife just because they don't listen to him.
Rather, this couple also exhibited some ungrateful and opportunistic behavior.
The key issue is that the things the Wang family did didn't bring them any benefits, but they did offend several people who were genuinely good to them.
Putting aside everything else, let's just talk about the restaurant that the eldest brother opened in Sichuan.
They bought a building and opened a large restaurant.
They gave the waiter and his wife a 30% share.
This looks pretty good; getting 30% of the shares for free.
But there's a problem here.
This doesn't mean that the eldest brother was planning to swindle the Wang family, but rather that reality constrained his restaurant.
Currently, it is extremely difficult to make a profit.
How should I put this?
Hong Kong businessmen investing back in their hometowns are certainly welcomed by the local authorities.
But in terms of actual operation, there are issues such as sourcing ingredients, hiring skilled chefs, and maintaining customer relationships...
That was a real problem for the eldest disciple, who hadn't been back to Sichuan for many years.
A truly skilled chef would never give up a secure job elsewhere to go elsewhere.
The way He Yuzhu and his third senior brother cooperated was something that couldn't be learned over there.
Not to mention the procurement of ingredients.
That restaurant, for the eldest brother, was his dream from his youth.
I wasn't thinking about making any money from it.
Furthermore, even if the eldest brother buys a building in a bustling downtown area of a major city in Sichuan, he won't lose money.
His children are all developing their careers on Hong Kong Island and have no plans to return at the moment.
So that restaurant was where the eldest brother retired and played around.
Xiao Er and Qin Jingru, for the sake of their 30% share, disregarded their third senior brother's objections and the old lady's words, and went to Sichuan Prefecture without hesitation.
So far, we haven't earned a single cent; the restaurant is still in the process of getting things set up.
It's unclear when it will be profitable.
It's nothing.
Perhaps in five or six years, as society develops, there will be a day when it becomes profitable.
But by then, it's uncertain whether the aging senior apprentice will still be able to make decisions, or whether the restaurant will be able to continue operating.
The temptation of this seemingly unprofitable relationship caused the third senior brother, who was wholeheartedly devoted to the Wang family, to lose all hope in the couple.
This was the couple's first stupid mistake.
There's a second stupid mistake: what if Xiao Er had refused his senior brother's invitation back then?
The Wang family's kindness towards their eldest brother will always remain.
To put it bluntly, even if the eldest brother were to pass away, he could simply give the waiter a sum of money to repay the kindness shown to him.
That's still more cost-effective than them going to Sichuan to partner up.
With that money, and He Yuzhu's relationship with his third senior brother, he could buy one or two more shops in Beijing and collect rent without lifting a finger. How comfortable that would be!
That's the current situation; the couple hasn't received any real benefits.
But it broke people's hearts.
According to Liu Ting, the couple is thinking of taking back the storefront they used to rent out and opening a small restaurant.
This is something that can't be done without causing trouble.
"hey-hey···
This is a concrete example of why one doesn't need to worry about their children's affairs. "He Yuzhu suddenly blurted out this as he was eating his noodles.
To ensure their son's comfortable life, Wang Furong and his wife went to great lengths to think of everything they could think of before they passed away.
The relationship left for Xiao Er and his wife is such that as long as they don't cause trouble, they can live a peaceful and happy life.
Putting everything else aside, if He Yuzhu hadn't been disgusted by the situation, he would definitely have intervened if the Wang family had run into trouble.
Even if he doesn't care, the third senior brother will.
Instead of the current situation where nobody wants to talk to the couple at all. "Let them be, it's best if they can make money."
"If we lose money in the future, our family will help you out a little, as a way of repaying the debt you owed to Yushui." Unlike He Yuzhu, who wolfed down his food, Liu Ting chewed slowly and carefully, picking each piece into her mouth.
She wasn't really hungry; she just wanted to eat with He Yuzhu and enjoy the atmosphere of eating with him.
“My family doesn’t owe anything. We’ve paid back everything we owed,” He Yuzhu retorted.
"Heh... Do you think the waiter will blame you in the end?"
"If you hadn't introduced Qin Jingru to him, none of this would have happened."
"Cough cough..." He Yuzhu almost coughed the noodles out of his nose after his wife's words.
He picked up the tea in front of Liu Ting, took a sip, and calmed himself before saying, "Although neither my third senior brother nor I like Qin Jingru."
But let's be honest, is the Wang family in this state because Qin Jingru is too short-sighted?
Or is it that the waiter himself is brainless?
If your restaurant jeopardizes my future...
What would you choose?
Liu Ting rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu. How could her own man ask such a brainless question?
Let alone restaurants earning a few hundred a day now, they can earn tens of thousands a day.
If He Yuzhu had said something to her, telling her to stop driving.
Liu Ting would close the restaurant without hesitation.
This is Liu Ting's understanding of their marital relationship.
The sky is vast, the earth is vast, but one's own man is the greatest.
He Yuzhu nodded as if he knew her answer and said, "That's exactly it."
King You of Zhou blamed Bao Si for losing his kingdom, King Zhou of Shang blamed Daji for losing his kingdom...
But what do women have to do with such important military and national affairs?
It's all the men's fault.
Xiao Er is just a little weak-willed, not stupid. He doesn't know who is truly good to him.
I guess she's been listening to adults for too long and now wants to make her own decisions.
He Yuzhu initially attributed all of the Wang family's problems to Qin Jingru.
But as time went on, he came to see things more clearly.
The one causing trouble inside is probably the waiter himself.
He listened to his parents when he was a child, and he continued to listen to his grandmother when he grew up.
After the old lady passed away, they found him a third senior brother to take care of him.
I guess this 'child's' rebellious phase came a little late.
Whether he was annoyed by being controlled or wanted to prove himself.
These things in the Wang family were not something Qin Jingru, a woman, could have caused on her own.
They probably take their favor for granted and think that no matter how much trouble they cause, someone will always bail out the Wang family in the end.
The reason I can see through all of this is quite simple.
Now it's clear that neither the third senior brother nor He Yuzhu wants to talk to him.
If Xiao Er had any sense at all, he would know that the couple had definitely done something wrong in the past.
Even if he couldn't persuade Qin Jingru, he should at least communicate with He Yuzhu and the others privately.
but.
He continued to do things his own way.
Just like today when I asked Liu Ting to help me find a chef.
Xiao Er knew that neither He Yuzhu nor his third senior brother would agree to this.
But he still wanted to do it.
This can no longer be attributed to Qin Jingru's influence through her pillow talk.
It's only possible that the waiter saw all the other restaurant owners making money and couldn't resist the temptation. (End of Chapter)
