Chapter 253 Giving Favors

Next was the matter of the other employees. This time, Li Shengli did not plan to go to see Director Wang.

Director Wang arranged for himself to work with educated youth who had returned from the countryside. Most of these people planned to just do the job for now, and if they could start a business or get other jobs later, they would leave. This time, Li Shengli planned to find two people who would work for him for a long time, preferably those who could take on important responsibilities after he taught them cooking skills.

In this way, Lee Seung-ri can safely hand over the restaurant to the chef he trained. Lee Seung-ri believes in the dual protection of interests and relationships.

Things like this can be handled by Han Qiuyu, and two jobs can be considered as two favors.

Thinking of this, Li Shengli planned to go see Han Qiuyu in the afternoon. Liu Jianjun would not come tomorrow, so there would be one less person in the store tomorrow.

"Xiaohui, Xiaomei, you two stay at the door. I'm going to go out for a while." Li Shengli greeted the two girls in the restaurant, then rode his bike away from his restaurant.

"Xiaomei, what do you think Liu Jianjun is thinking?" Xiaohui leaned out to take a look. Li Shengli and Liu Jianjun were not around, so Xiaohui moved closer to Xiaomei and whispered to him.

"Who knows? Boss Li has been very good to us. Not to mention our salaries, just look at the meals we eat here. There is always meat and vegetables." Xiaomei couldn't understand why Liu Jianjun would resign. It's hard to find a job nowadays, not to mention the high salaries paid by the business here. Not to mention other benefits, this month's salary is almost catching up with that of an eighth-level worker.

"Let's ask later." Xiaohui thought about it and decided that it would be better to ask the person involved in this matter.

Zhao Guangquan also asked this question.

"The work here is too tiring from morning to night." Liu Jianjun couldn't help but complain, "and my classmates helped me find a way. The money I make is not as much as it is now, but the work is easy."

Zhao Guangquan did not ask Liu Jianjun's classmates what solution they had found for him. Liu Jianjun would not tell anyone about such things. Their relationship was not that good yet.

Li Shengli rode his bicycle to the street office where Han Qiuyu was. Since the last favor was given to Director Wang, this time he would give it to Han Qiuyu.

"Brother-in-law, why are you here?" When they arrived at the street office, Li Shengli asked someone to call Han Qiuyu out. Han Qiuyu was still wondering why this man didn't come into his office to find him but asked him to come out instead. When he came out, he found that it was Li Shengli who came to find him.

"I came to see you about something." Li Shengli looked around, but it was not a good idea to say this in front of everyone.

Li Shengli pointed to a quieter corner nearby and said, "Qiuyu, let's talk over there."

Han Qiuyu was curious now. What else was there that he wanted to say behind others' backs? So Han Qiuyu followed Li Shengli to an empty corner.

"Tell me, brother-in-law, what's the matter that you're keeping so secret?" Han Qiuyu looked at Li Shengli with some amusement.

"Qiuyu, do your street office also have a lot of young people who need to find jobs?" Li Shengli ignored Han Qiuyu's teasing and had to ask clearly before he could do the favor.

"Yes, brother-in-law, there are many unemployed young people in every street now." Han Qiuyu saw that Li Shengli's expression was a little serious, and put away his smile. "Then, I need two people who can learn cooking skills for a long time. You can see who to give these two places to." Li Shengli explained his purpose directly.

"Brother-in-law, are you going to take in an apprentice?" Han Qiuyu was moved after hearing what Li Shengli said. Her brother-in-law's cooking skills were not bad. If he took in an apprentice, these two positions would be very popular.

"It can be considered as taking in apprentices. I plan to take in two people and let them take over my current restaurant." Li Shengli nodded as he acquiesced to what Han Qiuyu said. "I plan to let you take care of these two apprentices. I only have one requirement, that they have to have good character."

Li Shengli did not require these people to have any talent in cooking. A chef in a small home-style restaurant like this could become a master after learning for a few years even if he did not have talent. The only thing Li Shengli was afraid of was that the chef would leave after learning. This was his first restaurant, so he had to leave a souvenir.

"That's easy, brother-in-law. When do you need someone?" Han Qiuyu immediately understood what Li Shengli meant. There are so many people without jobs now, and there are also those from rural areas who want to come to the city to beg for food. These two positions are huge favors.

"There's no rush for these two people, but you must choose carefully. I also need a kitchen helper. I don't have too many requirements. A temporary worker is also fine." Li Shengli's requirements were stricter this time. He planned to recruit these two people before Zhao Guangquan left. As for now, he would just find a temporary worker to make do.

It is not certain that the educated youth who are helping in the kitchen will be able to continue doing this job. After those educated youth who have gone into business have become millionaires, those who have some education will definitely not do the job of helping in the kitchen anymore.

At that time, it will cause a wave of people going to the sea.

"Don't worry, I, your brother-in-law, will definitely choose carefully for you." Obviously, Han Qiuyu also understood that Li Shengli was here to bring him performance.

Although there are so many people in the city now, many of them came from the countryside before, and everyone has a relative in their hometown. For them, a few dozen yuan a month is already a high salary. What's more, Li Shengli not only pays you a salary but also teaches you some skills. This was a good thing that people could not even imagine in the past.

After Li Shengli talked to Han Qiuyu, he rode his bicycle back to his hotel.

When Han Qiuyu got off work, she found her husband and told him about the incident.

"This is a good thing. There is no need to look for anyone else. I have several comrades who came from the kitchen squad. Their children are also idle at home. They all came from the army, have strict family education, and have a basic knowledge of cooking." When Han Qiuyu's husband heard about this good thing, he decided not to give the two places to the street office, but to solve it internally.

This not only solved Li Shengli's employment problem, but also provided a place for the children of his comrades-in-arms, killing two birds with one stone.

"Then go and tell him as soon as possible. The sooner this matter is resolved, the better." Han Qiuyu was also not vague. It didn't matter who he gave the favor to.

Han Qiuyu's husband nodded in agreement and after dinner he rode his bicycle to his comrade's home. The two comrades were very grateful to him. Even if their children entered the factory canteen, they would still have to start as kitchen helpers, and they would not be able to learn anything without a master to guide them.

After hearing what Han Qiuyu's husband said, how could she not agree? Apart from anything else, if someone can open a restaurant outside, his cooking skills must be good.

What happened next to the two families was similar. They both kicked their idle sons at home.
