Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

"Cooks can move up the career ladder. Once they reach the top, they are basically working for themselves. Although they will get a share of Samadhi Tower, the entire logistics support of Samadhi Tower is so good that no one can help but say it. As for the cooks who cannot be promoted, it would be meaningless if they go out to work for others. In the whole city of Sijiu, there is no one who pays more than Samadhi Tower."

"If you open your own shop, you may be able to earn more than the current salary. But such people are a minority after all. Everyone knows that this is not the mid-80s, when there were so many restaurants that would have business as soon as they opened. Now everyone is choosing, so it is better to settle down."

"So, the current Samadhi Building is just like the steel mill back then. Everyone is basically satisfied. Unless the external environment changes, such as higher wages outside or too high cost of living, it is possible to form a chain of people who want to take advantage. And our group of people who left basically have feelings for the Samadhi Building and will not easily do such a thing."

After Qin Huairu's analysis, Cao Leyao nodded.

"Don't listen to your mother Huairu's analysis. Think about what the most important thing here is."

"environment?"

"Yes, it's the environment. This is very important for the helmsman. When the environment changes, what do you need to do? And how do you need to do it? Back then, your father dared to be the first to open Samadhi Tower because of his confident judgment of the environment and his own connections. Later, Samadhi Tower actually encountered several crises. The first crisis was that there were too many people."

"Too many people?" Cao Leyao couldn't believe it: "Aren't we always recruiting people?"

"That was now. Before 85, the Samadhi Building was right next to the headquarters, and there was a big cafeteria. Do you know how many unemployed young people there were in the entire city at that time?"

"I know." Cao Leyao was not ignorant. How could she not know at that time? The streets were full of unemployed young people: "But what does this have to do with us?"

"Why not?" Lou Xiao'e shrugged. "The problems in the macro environment will eventually be broken down. So, we have to take responsibility. That's why we implemented the branch store plan in 85. Under this plan, a lot of jobs were created. The key is that after the expansion, Samadhi Building did not become unstable."

"This fully proves that your father had anticipated this day and had made preparations."

"This is a decision made based on a prediction of the future environment."

"So, when you are considering things, it is best not to put your personal emotions into it. Let me ask you, if the Samadhi Canteen and the Braised Meat Shop really embezzled money, how do you plan to deal with it?"

"Ah?" Cao Leyao was stunned for a moment: "Of course we have to pull it out. Should we let them keep chewing it?"

"That's not right." Lou Xiao'e stretched out her white index finger and shook it: "This is the standard of being swayed by personal emotions. The first thing to think about is what kind of consequences will be caused after arresting him. Will his store be unable to operate normally because of arresting him? If someone really tampered with it, then it means that at least everyone in the chain will not be able to escape."

“If you remove everyone in the chain, there will be problems with the opening of this store.”

Cao Leyao opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

"Are you trying to say that even if we close the store, arrest him, and send someone else over, it won't be a big deal."

"Yeah." Cao Leyao nodded frantically. So what if he took over the system of Samadhi Tower?

“It’s still not right.”

"How do you know whether the person you sent over can guarantee the normal operation of this store, what is the relationship between this store and the nearby streets, and whether there are any tricks here? Will someone come to make trouble after you send him over? Or, how many people in this family are in cahoots with the person you arrested? In serious cases, after arresting him, this store may not be able to operate. Do you think, how many stores in our Samadhi Building can make you so arrogant?"

Cao Leyao opened her mouth slightly.

Qin Huairu chuckled and said, "Don't be so sensitive. We in Samadhi Tower still have a say in the city of Sijiu. This kind of situation is unlikely to happen. I'm just telling you how to deal with things and what kind of thinking to use when you encounter them."

Cao Leyao looked at Lou Xiaoe with resentment.

"Don't look at me like that. Think about what Chongzhen did. After he came to power, he took down Wei Zhongxian, thinking that everyone was happy. But what happened? He couldn't collect money, and his imperial decrees couldn't be issued. The remaining Donglin Party controlled him like a chicken. Do you think it's the right thing to do to be swayed by emotions?"

Cao Leyao shook her head frantically.

Who doesn't know Chongzhen, the one hanging on the crooked tree?

"You go to the shops to learn. What you need is to know what's going on. You can't see the tricks when other people submit reports. You only know how to make money and lose money, which will cause problems. You need to look at the big picture and have a sense of the overall situation. Don't be too fussy about everything. Your mother likes to be fussy, but she is very meticulous about serious matters. Over the years, there have been a few inhuman things, and your mother can find them all by just flipping through the account book."

"My mom is so awesome?"

"You think so." Qin Huairu patted her head and said, "Jingru is a talented person. She has read a lot of books in recent years."

Not only Qin Jingru, Qin Huairu is almost the same.

It’s just that Qin Huairu has a job, so she doesn’t have as much time to think as Qin Jingru.

Cao Leyao burped and felt that she had eaten a lot today, which was full of delicious food.

"Okay, don't be so restless these days. You're going to get married in a few days. After you get married, don't be so jumpy. Be steady. Of course, don't let others bully you."

"It's him." Cao Leyao curled her lips: "My father taught me a lot of tricks, but I haven't used them yet."

"Don't learn bad things from him, he's a bastard." Lou Xiao'e gritted her teeth.

Qin Huairu nodded and said, "That's right, bastard."

Cao Leyao was happy: "So you two are still following him?"

"Go away, you grown-up girl, and you're teasing us." Qin Huairu nodded her head and stood up: "Okay, okay, pack up and go home. Do you know where your dad is?"

"I heard he went fishing with the third uncle. His skills were terrible. He couldn't catch a single fish for most of the day, and he still said he was Jiang Taigong."
