Let's go back to 2008, starting with a recreational fishing park.

Jiang Xia coughed. "This young master is a gentleman. It must be that little vixen Su Qing who steered the conversation toward beauty!"

"Ahem, let's get down to business. Are you interested in opening a restaurant?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, he still forced the topic back on track.

Jiang Xia got back to business, and Su Qing lost her mood for jokes. She thought for a moment and asked curiously:

"If I agree, will you give me a raise?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xia couldn't help but laugh again:

"If the restaurant is really doing well, how about I raise it to 150 a day? That's 50 yuan more than Xiao Bo!"

"Huh? That much of a raise?" Su Qing tilted her head and then said, "It doesn't seem like it will cost that much. I'd be happy if it were the same as Xiao Bo's salary."

Jiang Xia shook his head, "If I say I'll give you a raise, I definitely will."

Actually, he felt that he was already offering Su Qing too low a salary.

When the job was initially arranged, the idea was for Su Qing to assist Wang Guifen, but unexpectedly, the girl turned out to be an exceptionally skilled cook, eventually becoming the head chef of the fishing pond.

You should know that the wages of a vegetable washer or a regular chef are different.

Although Su Qing wasn't a professional chef, Jiang Xia still felt that paying her 50 yuan a day was too low.

However, since the young woman had only been working at the fishing pond for a short time, he kept thinking of waiting until she had worked for a longer period of time before giving her a raise.

However, if a restaurant were to be opened and Su Qing were to become a proper chef, then her salary would definitely have to be properly arranged.

…………

On the other side, Su Qing was filled with anticipation when she heard that Jiang Xia was really going to give her a raise.

But then, with some concern, she asked:

"Jiang Xia, isn't it a bit too hasty to open a restaurant just because I'm a good cook?"

Jiang Xia felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this; he hadn't expected the young girl to be so considerate of him.

He smiled and explained, "Actually, doing business is far less complicated than you think."

"If you can cook, I have money, and there happen to be customers at our fishing spot, then we can open a restaurant. It's that simple!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qing's mind went blank. "What do you mean 'I can cook' is enough? What do you mean 'You have money'? Is that so simple?"

Seeing that Su Qing didn't understand what he meant, Jiang Xia had no choice but to patiently explain:

"Our fishing spot has so many tourists every day, so there should be a restaurant, since some tourists don't want to eat fast food and want to have some nice dishes cooked."

"Before, I just thought you cooked well and didn't think much more about it. But tonight, the whole fish feast you made has really opened my mind."

"We're a fishing park. If we opened a restaurant specializing in whole fish banquets, I think it would be a very promising business!"

Hearing Jiang Xia's explanation, Su Qing finally understood what Jiang Xia meant.

However, the thought of having to rely entirely on herself if the restaurant were to open made her inexplicably nervous.

At this point, Jiang Xia continued, "However, opening a restaurant and selling boxed lunches, although both involve selling food, are definitely different in terms of difficulty. To be honest, I'm not very confident either, but since we have this idea, I think we can give it a try!"

"Huh?" Hearing that Jiang Xia herself wasn't very confident, Su Qing hesitated and said, "Maybe we should just forget it. I'm afraid I won't do a good job."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Beautiful Su, you cook so well, how can you be so insecure about yourself?"

As he spoke, he gently patted the little girl's shoulder: "Just listen to me. I'll discuss it with my parents later and see how to handle this."

"Is it really going to work?" When Su Qing heard that Jiang Xia wanted to discuss it with Jiang Jianguo and his wife, she knew that the other party was serious.

"It'll definitely work, don't worry." Jiang Xia nodded seriously to Su Qing, then looked up at the night sky and said, "It's getting late, I've had a drink and can't take you home, let Xiao Bo take you home first."

Su Qing shook her head: "No need to see me off, I can go back by myself."

But Jiang Xia completely ignored her when he heard this, and went straight to the office door to call out:

"Xiao Bo, come out here and take Qingqing back."

"Okay." Jiang Xiaobo quickly came out of the office, picked up the keys to his electric scooter, and called out to Su Qing, "Let's go, Qingqing, I'll take you home."

Seeing that Jiang Xiaobo had come out, Su Qing didn't refuse any longer. She got on her electric scooter and rode off with Jiang Xiaobo into the night.

Jiang Xia watched the two figures disappear from sight, then strolled back to his office with his hands behind his back.

At this moment, the parents and their second uncle, Jiang Jianjun, were sitting together drinking tea.

As soon as Jiang Xia returned, Wang Guifen immediately leaned in and asked curiously, "Xiaxia, what were you talking about with Qingqing outside?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiang Jianjun and Father Jiang Jianguo both wore expressions of watching the drama unfold.

Seeing everyone looking at him like that, Jiang Xia felt a little helpless, but afraid that they might misunderstand something, so he had no choice but to tell them again about his idea of ​​opening a restaurant.

After hearing Jiang Xia's idea, Wang Guifen couldn't help but show a disappointed expression: "Sigh, it's just opening a restaurant? I thought my own pig had finally come to its senses..."

But then she couldn't help but sigh at how many ideas her son had.

"Open a restaurant? Is that even possible?" Jiang Jianguo heard his son talking to Su Qing about serious matters. Although he was a little disappointed that his son hadn't grasped the point, he still asked seriously.

"I think it's still okay." Jiang Xia nodded, glancing at the people inside the room:

"Dad, Mom, Second Uncle, please tell me the truth, what do you think of the food Su Qing cooked?"

Upon hearing this, the people in the room subconsciously thought about it.

The first to speak was Jiang Jianjun, the second uncle, who said:

"Xiaxia, I've never eaten Su Qing's cooking before. This is my first time trying it. To be honest, I think it tastes just as good as what Fatty Sun makes."

Jiang Jianguo nodded: "Yes, don't underestimate Su Qing just because she's young; she's really good at cooking."

At this moment, Wang Guifen chimed in, "That's right, Xiaxia, Qingqing's cooking is really good. I think the reason our family sells so many boxed lunches a day is largely due to the delicious taste of her cooking."

After saying that, she added earnestly:

"Actually, I've been thinking about asking you if you want to give her a raise. Don't underestimate her just because she's young; our lunchbox business depends on her."

With everyone saying the same thing, Jiang Xia understood. He first looked at Wang Guifen and said, "Mom, I know what I'm doing about her salary. I'll give her a raise when the time comes."
