Chapter 958: Disagreement between Husband and Wife
Xu Huizhen was undoubtedly feeling a little confused at this time, and for a moment she didn't know how to save her sister.

Because she had long realized that Fan Jinyou was not a good person, she just wanted to find a good man for her sister.

Unfortunately, Xu Hesheng's words just now also reminded Xu Huizhen that Xu Huizhi might not need her meddling at all. After all, Xu Huizhi is indeed an adult with sound thinking.

Xu Huizhen, who had figured it out, looked at Xu Hesheng with shame and apologized, "Teacher Xu, I'm sorry! I was prejudiced."

"Huizhen, it's my honor that you think highly of me, but sometimes matters of the heart cannot be forced." At this time, Xu Hesheng still behaved in a gentle and elegant manner, because he still liked Xu Huizhen more among the Xu sisters.

"Teacher Xu is right." Xu Huizhen responded to Xu Hesheng somewhat awkwardly.

"Huizhen, actually, compared to your sister Xu Huizhi, I admire you more." Looking at Xu Huizhen, who was still at the first blood level, Xu Hesheng finally couldn't help but speak out his true feelings.

"Ah?" Xu Huizhen widened her eyes in shock and looked at the old man in front of her with disbelief.

"Huizhen, I know my conditions may be very different from yours, but I still can't help but overestimate my own abilities."

"Teacher Xu, I..." Xu Huizhen was so confused that she didn't know how to respond. She realized that her behavior today was too reckless.

"I know you won't accept me, so I'm just speaking from my heart."

"Teacher Xu, the tavern is about to open, so I'll go back first."

"OK, bye."

Xu Hesheng looked at Xu Huizhen's fleeing back and couldn't help but reveal a fascinated expression again.

However, the fact that he was too old, widowed and had a son had already doomed him to be impossible with Xu Hui.

Xu Huizhen also realized that the tavern was not a place to stay for long, and it would be best to persuade her sister Xu Huizhi to give up together.

However, Xu Huizhen also knew that if she wanted to persuade Xu Huizhi, it would not be something that could be resolved overnight, so this matter still needed to be considered in the long run.

After Xu Huizhen returned to the tavern again, she never asked about Xu Huizhi and Fan Jinyou again.

He also transferred all his shares in the tavern to Xu Huizhi, making Xu Huizhi the sole private manager of the tavern.

……

As the saying goes, where there is loss there is gain. In fact, Xu Huizhen has already entered other people's sight a long time ago.

Xu Huizhen officially left the tavern just as the neighborhood committee director came to visit her.

The neighborhood committee director smiled at Xu Huizhen and called out, "Xu Huizhen."

"Oh! Aunt Director, how come you have time to come here?" Xu Huizhen hurriedly ran forward in surprise to greet the Aunt Director of the neighborhood committee.

"Huizhen, I heard that you gave all the shares of the tavern to Xu Huizhi?" The neighborhood committee director looked at Xu Huizhen in front of her without answering.

"Yes! We don't need so many people here at the tavern. I'm going back to the Niulanshan Brewery."

"Huizhen, I want you to work in the neighborhood committee, is that okay?" Then the neighborhood committee director made her invitation, feeling that Xu Huizhen best met all the requirements for a cadre.

"Neighborhood committee?" Xu Huizhen's heartbeat quickened. These days, being a cadre was not as glorious as doing anything else.

The reason why Fan Jinyou could cause trouble in the tavern with impunity was simply because he relied on his position as a cadre of the street office.

"That's right! The neighborhood committee is very familiar with your situation. They know that you are not only knowledgeable but also know how to run a business. You are the most suitable person to work in our neighborhood committee."

"Director, I agree."

"Haha, that's great! Huizhen, you'll be considered a cadre of our neighborhood committee from now on."

"Thank you, Director."

"Huizhen, if you really want to thank me, just work hard in the future."

"Yes, Auntie."

Xu Huizhen had never expected that she would suddenly end up working at the neighborhood committee. She guessed that it might have something to do with the fact that she had given up all the dividends from the tavern. After all, she was no longer the small business owner she used to be.

Human beings are often the most complex and powerful creatures. They never know how to cherish what they have already obtained, and their eyes can only focus on things that others have but they do not.

So when Chen Xueru heard about Xu Huizhen's recent situation, she was undoubtedly jealous and crazy. She really couldn't understand why Xu Huizhen got all the good things.

As expected, Chen Xueru looked at her man with a depressed face and complained, "Suning, this Xu Hui is really too lucky. She actually turned into a neighborhood committee cadre."

"Tsk! She's called a cadre, but actually she's just an old lady from the neighborhood committee. What's there for you to envy?" Suning, who had seen everything, didn't agree. Instead, he believed that enjoying life was the true meaning of life.

"Humph! What do you know? This is what we call pursuit. It's what we businessmen and industrialists all dream of."

Chen Xueru suddenly felt that she and her husband were talking at cross purposes. Apart from the fact that they did that evening and were very harmonious, the couple's values were completely different.

"Vulgar! Can't you just enjoy your life? Why do you have to compete with that Xu Huizhen? It's boring!" At this time, Su Ning couldn't help but express his contempt for Chen Xueru's behavior.

"Humph! So you don't understand what I'm pursuing at all. I can't let this Xu Huizhen suppress me."

"..."

What makes Suning feel most speechless is this thing about Chen Xueru. Every time she sees Xu Huizhen, she is like a jealous fighting cock. She can't get along without having a fight with Xu Huizhen.

Of course, Chen Xueru's "pursuit" is incompatible with Suning's go-with-the-flow attitude, which is also where the disagreement between Suning and Chen Xueru lies.

……

Suning's current job has also been determined. His unit is the cafeteria of a national key research institute, and the people he is responsible for entertaining are naturally foreign experts who come to China to aid.

You have to know that such an important department still needs the guarantee of a big shot with a deep background. Suning's loyal fan looked at Suning earnestly and said, "Suning, I personally recommended you to work at the research institute. Don't embarrass me when you get there!"

"Don't worry, sir! I won't let you down." Suning, who had seen many ups and downs, naturally knew this very well, and responded with the same serious face.

"Well, I'm not too worried about your cooking skills, but most of these experts are Soviet, and there are also some Italians and Americans hired at high salaries, so you need to learn at least one foreign language and Western cooking techniques as soon as possible."

"Okay! I'll go find a Russian teacher and learn from him."

"Well, I've also prepared some Russian language learning materials and some Western food materials for you."

"Thank you, sir."

Of course, Suning was quite proficient in both English and Russian, but being able to study Russian publicly was a rare opportunity, allowing him to share his skills with the public. When Suning returned home with the Russian study materials and Western food materials, Chen Xueru immediately became curious.

Chen Xueru looked at the Russian materials in Su Ning's hand with a puzzled look on her face. She suddenly felt that her husband was becoming increasingly confused. "Suning, what unit do you work for? Why do you have to learn all this stuff?"

"Lao Mo Western Restaurant." At this time, Suning immediately revealed his public identity. Being affiliated with Moscoe Western Restaurant could also keep it confidential better.

"Oh? No wonder! I'll have Yelena come over and teach you Russian later. The Soviets are experts in this field."

"Didn't she go to Suzhou with Liao Yucheng?"

"I'm already back. I heard that I didn't find any fabrics I liked this time."

"Xueru, why do I feel that this is unlikely? Could it be that Liao Yucheng and Yelena are secretly having a private deal?" Thinking that Liao Yucheng and Yelena were not good people in the original drama, Su Ning couldn't help but look at Chen Xueru and reminded her.

"Huh? That's impossible! Liao Yucheng is the official manager of the silk shop." Chen Xueru couldn't help but feel that Su Ning was worrying too much.

"It's better to be cautious! I think you'd better contact Suzhou secretly."

"Too!"

After receiving Suning's reminder, Chen Xueru no longer remembered to help Suning contact the Russian teacher. Instead, she hurriedly picked up the phone and called the supplier in Suzhou.

After Chen Xueru made several calls in a row, her expression gradually relaxed.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xueru looked at Suning complainingly and said, "Suning, I feel like you're just judging others by your own standards. There aren't any problems with the suppliers in Suzhou."

"..."

At this time, Su Ning was naturally heartbroken by Chen Xueru's words. It was obvious that there were serious differences in the lives of the couple. They didn't know when it started and they had been unable to communicate with each other.

Given Suning's personality, he naturally hated such meaningless arguments the most, so he simply picked up the Western food information given by the big shot and went to the study to read it.

However, it was Suning's direct way of settling the matter that Chen Xueru saw as a kind of contempt from the king, which made the stubborn and extreme Chen Xueru even more dissatisfied.

Of course, knowing that she was in the wrong, Chen Xueru did not continue to argue with Suning. Instead, she squeezed the conflict into their hearts bit by bit.

……

The original plot of "The Little Woman Under the Zhengyang Gate" is indeed exciting, but in order to make the plot more exciting, the screenwriter portrayed Fan Jinyou as too stupid and neurotic, and kept letting Fan Jinyou jump around and be repeatedly ravaged by the heroine.

At this time, the public-private joint venture restaurant in the original play had been divided into two, one became a collectively owned canteen for workers, peasants and soldiers, and the other became a public-private joint venture tavern.

The workers, peasants and soldiers canteen is now doing very well under the management of Manager Lu. Although the sudden change in the taste of the buns has caused the canteen to lose many loyal gourmets, it is still quite popular among nearby residents due to its honesty and fair prices.

"Dongzi, why do you always make mistakes when delivering food recently?" Manager Lu called his distant relative Dongzi in alone, feeling that Dongzi had been going too far recently.

"Manager, we deliver delicious food, so it's natural that some takeout will be lost." Dongzi, who replaced Cai Quanwu at this time, retorted with disapproval.

"Dongzi, I don't want to hear your explanation now. If you lose takeout again, don't blame me, your cousin, for being ruthless."

"I……"

"Alright! Let's get to work!"

"Yes! Manager."

The perceptive Manager Lu knew very well that Dongzi was being dishonest, but considering that Dongzi was a distant relative, Manager Lu always chose to turn a blind eye.

But Dongzi has become even worse recently, which is why Manager Wu warned Dongzi just now.

The business of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Canteen is very good now. Although there is still a big gap from when it was run by Suning, it already meets the expectations of the street office for a state-owned canteen.

Of course, Manager Lu also knew that this was all due to the good foundation laid by Suning. So as he spent more and more time running the workers, peasants and soldiers canteen, he began to admire the young man more and more.

In fact, Manager Lu at that time could have given Suning some face and arranged a formal job for Cai Quanwu in the workers, peasants and soldiers canteen.

However, Manager Lu's aversion to small business owners still made him refuse. To be honest, he really looked down on the self-employed Suning from the bottom of his heart.

"Manager, the bulk wine sales in our cafeteria have been very poor recently." Accountant Yu from the state-owned cafeteria looked at Manager Lu and explained.

"Oh? Do you know what the reason is? Is there something wrong with the wine we bought?" Manager Lu looked at Accountant Yu in surprise, and immediately thought that it was Dongzi's doing.

"No! It seems like the residents nearby all get their alcohol from Suning."

"What? Isn't he just speculating?"

"Huh? Manager, I made some inquiries. It turns out they buy it at 70 cents a pound and sell it at 85 cents a pound, so all the regular customers from the neighborhood go there."

"Humph! Businessmen are indeed businessmen. They don't know how to abide by the law at all."

“Manager, should we hold a Suning event for the street?”

"Forget it! Our cafeteria doesn't make money from selling alcohol anyway, so we should try to have as little involvement with Suning as possible in the future."

"Yes! Manager."

"By the way, Accountant Yu, how's business at the public-private partnership tavern next door?"

"It's terrible! I heard they can't even pay salaries."

"Oh? So serious?"

"Originally, their tavern also had Suning and Cai Quanwu deliver wine, but after Manager Fan Jinyou took over the tavern, he suddenly asked Ma Liansheng to do the purchasing. The wine they bought was all fake wine diluted with water. I heard that the taste of their pickles has also changed. Naturally, the tavern's business has become worse and worse."

"The neighborhood committee tolerates Fan Jinyou's reckless behavior?"

"Manager Fan Jinyou is quite the sly one. He actually withheld the dividends from the private manager to fill this hole."

"What? The private manager has no objection?"

"Ah! What can private manager Xu Huizhi, a woman with a child, do? Besides, Fan Jinyou always says that there's nothing wrong with owing it first."

"No! This Fan Jinyou is going too far. Tomorrow I'm going to report this to Director Li of the Subdistrict Office. Although we need to restrict private industry and commerce, we can't bully people like this."
