Chapter 1390 - 545: Yuanyuan’s Appointment! Steamed Flower Rolls and Nougat—A Busy Morning on the Second Day!

Chapter 1390: Chapter 545: Yuanyuan’s Appointment! Steamed Flower Rolls and Nougat—A Busy Morning on the Second Day!

Chen Shaokang wanted to eat peanut nougat, to be precise, it should be called peanut nougat candy, but unlike regular nougat, this is made with maltose.

Cook the sugar until thick, then add the roasted peanuts, mix evenly, and while hot, press into pieces.

Once cooled, divide into small pieces. When eating, the candy becomes very chewy, while the peanuts inside are fragrant, crisp, and delicious, contrasting with the candy’s texture.

When Lin Xu was in middle school, he often bought it from the school store, so he has a deep impression.

To be honest, he has always quite liked this snack.

Although it’s high in sugar, if you actually eat it freely, it’s just about one piece, because this candy is very hard to chew, and without chewing, the peanuts inside can’t dissolve.

It’s quite suitable for eating during exercise to replenish energy, yet you won’t eat much, so it doesn’t cause fat accumulation.

After eating stir-fried cold skin, Lin Xu gnawed on a pig bone for a while, then extracted the marrow and delightedly ate it, what a treat!

After the meal, Chen Meijuan and the eldest aunt helped to clean up the kitchen.

By this time, the water soaking the pig head had turned red, Lin Xu took out the pig head and changed the water.

Then he used sugar color, spices, stock, and crystal sugar to prepare the braising soup for the braised whole pig’s head in advance.

So the next morning, he can directly blanch the pig head to set its shape and then put it into the clay pot to braise, saving time.

After finishing these, he returned to the dining room to see Shen Jiayue and Chen Yuanyuan playing Double Ascension with Chen Shaokang and Lin Bin, so he went over and sat next to Shen Jiayue.

He cracked sunflower seeds for a while and grabbed a handful of almonds, occasionally feeding one to the big baby beside him.

He blended in until nine o’clock in the evening, then got up to rest.

Today, he woke up early to climb the mountain, plus he has to get up to stew the pig head tomorrow morning, so he should go to bed early.

Although just a night’s sleep will energize him the next morning, lying in bed early with the fragrant, soft big baby is more comfortable than sitting by the charcoal oven cracking sunflower seeds, isn’t it?

Shen Jiayue, the pig teammate, was being complained about by Chen Yuanyuan, and when she heard about leaving, she immediately put down the poker cards and delightfully said:

"Let’s go, I’m just getting sleepy, Yuanyuan, tomorrow let’s go dig wild vegetables, don’t forget to wear hiking boots."

"Let’s go, I lost all night, I need to go snatch a few red packets in the group to adjust my mood... By the way, little brother, when Dou arrived, he mentioned job adjustments, what’s he planning for me?"

Being surrounded by family, Lin Xu didn’t hide anything:

"Originally, I wanted to give you a surprise when we got back. Since you asked, I’ll be direct. We’re preparing to make you the general manager of Ziqiang Shengjian, responsible for overall operations and expansion, and give you five percent of the shares, with salary and bonus calculated separately. How does that sound?"

How does it sound?

Is there any need to ask?

It’s an enormous surprise.

Chen Yuanyuan’s mouth opened:

"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, not April Fool’s Day, you’re not joking, little brother?"

Chen Meide also said:

"Job appointments shouldn’t be this frivolous. Xiao Xu, consider it more carefully; don’t rush to a conclusion. Besides, Yuanyuan is so young, what if she can’t win people’s support..."

He hadn’t finished before Shen Guofu interrupted him:

"Then just fire those who are unsupportive. Yuanyuan’s efforts and achievements are evident. Since she became the store manager, she has proposed numerous income-increasing and employee-caring measures. If people still aren’t supportive, it indicates they don’t align with Ziqiang Shengjian’s values and should be removed from the team."

Business isn’t a child’s play; if someone is unsupportive, replace them. There’s no need to cater to employees’ preferences.

Compared to Chen Meiliang, who was busy with the horse farm, Shen Guofu and his wife, spending their days in Beijing, paid much attention to Chen Yuanyuan since she was a relative. As elders, they could not ignore her.

In fact, starting from winter, Shen Guofu and his wife have cared for Chen Yuanyuan quite a bit.

They not only bought her imported winter clothes and boots but also frequently drove around the Fourth Middle School to see if this strong girl was ever wronged.

Han Shuzhen also subtly inquired several times.

If Chen Yuanyuan didn’t want to sell Shengjian, she could work at Shen Group anytime.

What she does isn’t important; after all, being the chairman’s relative, even if she naps at her desk or plays games all day, no one would dare hassle her like Dou Wenjing.

Chen Meijuan said:

"Second brother, stop thinking your family’s child isn’t up to it. Actually, the decision to promote Yuanyuan was finalized around New Year’s and communicated with Little Dou, it isn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision. Besides, even if it were, why can’t our family’s child be the general manager?"

Chen Meiliang naturally didn’t really think Yuanyuan was inadequate.

Just worried that if his daughter lost money, she’d feel she’d let her cousin down.

Second Aunt Yao Lina smiled at Lin Xu and said:

"Then many thanks to our big nephew. Yuanyuan, quickly thank your cousin. Many people work all their lives for such an opportunity, so when you go to Beijing this time, learn and achieve more, don’t let your cousin’s arrangement down."

From attending the wedding in Beijing to now, she actually always wanted to ask Lin Xu what kind of job he plans for her daughter.

If she kept selling Shengjian, they’d find another job for her back home.

Unexpectedly, before she found a suitable chance to ask, the nephew himself revealed it.

This is the general manager of a chain fast-food enterprise, with five percent shares, no matter the future income or career development prospects, it’s very promising.
