Chapter 155: Shattered Ideals
If He Yuzhu could understand Lou Xiao'e's current living conditions, he would also understand the Lou Xiao'e who was like a salted fish after marrying into a courtyard house in her previous life.

Because of her life experience, Lou Xiao'e is actually a bit socially anxious.

Come to think of it, it should be so. I have been dependent on my mother for more than ten years, and I have accepted my fate of being inferior to my brothers and sisters since I was a child.

Then she suddenly became the eldest daughter of the Lou family. The covetousness from outside, all kinds of calculations, and the way a young lady should treat others made it impossible for her to keep up with the pace of that courtyard.

Therefore, it was a mistake for Lou Xiao'e to marry into that courtyard.

Everyone blames her and looks down on her.

At that time, a deaf old lady appeared who always cared about her and looked at the world from her perspective. Naturally, she regarded the other person as a trustworthy person.

He Yuzhu didn't think much about it, as little girls are just shy.

When Yu Shui sees a stranger, he likes to snuggle into his arms.

When He Yuzhu went there again, Lou Xiao'e became much more natural towards him, although her face was still red, and she subconsciously wanted to avoid him after they said a few words.

But at least I can have a positive conversation with He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu was a little confused because the way Lou Xiao'e spoke to him didn't seem like a little girl's curiosity about new things.

More like an adult, trying to explore He Yuzhu's background.

"Master He, you said that the third senior brother treats you the best, then why don't you talk about the first and second senior brothers? Could it be that they are not good to you?" After asking He Yuzhu about his apprenticeship with Wang Furong, Lou Xiao'e was very interested in the first and second senior brothers who had never appeared in He Yuzhu's name.

He Yuzhu touched his nose and said, "I do think they treat me badly, but the key is that I have never seen them myself...."

He Yuzhu told Lou Xiaoe again the whereabouts of his eldest and second senior brothers.

Because of the guilt from his previous life, He Yuzhu found it difficult to refuse Lou Xiao'e's questions.

At this time, Lou Xiao'e suddenly asked tentatively: "Master Xiao He, you are so good at cooking, have you ever thought about opening a restaurant of your own?"

According to Lou Xiao'e's idea, He Yuzhu should have said something like "I want to, but I don't have money" at this time.

Although Lou Xiao'e would not mention the investment in He Yuzhu at this time, she left a hint so that she could understand the other party's intentions, so that she would not be at a loss when she really wants to go out and be independent in the future.

Who knew that He Yuzhu quickly shook his head and said, "Only a fool would start his own business in this era. Miss Lou, you must know that Mr. Lou's factory will be a public-private partnership next year, right?"

This time it was Lou Xiao'e's turn to be confused. She sorted out her thoughts for a while before saying, "This, isn't this only available in big factories?"

He Yuzhu was already somewhat alert at this time. Although he believed in Lou Xiaoe, he didn't want to attract attention because of Lou Xiaoe.

At this time, He Yuzhu did not understand the relationship between Lou Xiao'e and Lou Bancheng.

If the relationship between father and daughter is good, Lou Xiao'e will tell Lou Bancheng everything.

With Lou Bancheng's sensitivity, maybe he could understand something.

Regardless of whether Lou Bancheng will change or not, if what he said were exposed, he would be the one in trouble.

His thin arms and legs can't afford to get into those things.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I don't know either. I heard that the street office of my master also arranged someone to go over and talk to him."

This sentence can still be said because it is indeed true.

Wang Furong is angry about this matter now.

The public-private partnership of Emei Tavern may have little impact on the chefs.

But for a chef like Wang Furong, the impact is too great. If Manager Qian joins in at this time, he can still convert his assets into shares, so on the surface, there is no loss.

Then the person who suffered the biggest loss in the entire store should be Wang Furong.

If that day comes, all the unspoken rules that were followed before will be broken.

The three years of apprenticeship and two years of service are gone, the boss’s year-end bonus is gone, and some hidden benefits are also gone.

But the trend is unstoppable. The government wants to invest. What can a cook like him do?
Wang Furong was thinking about packing up his belongings and returning to his hometown in Sichuan Prefecture, but was persuaded by his third senior brother.

He Yuzhu naturally went as well, but he was of low status, and although his master felt sorry for him, his words had no authority in Wang Furong's mind.

The third senior brother is different. Since he entered the Sijiucheng Hotel, he has been considered a person of high rank.

The Sichuan cuisine foreman above is the senior brother Wang Furong mentioned, but in fact, the management work of the Sichuan cuisine kitchen is now done by the third senior brother.

If you have the skills and know how to behave, it is normal to do well.

The third senior brother advised Wang Furong to wait and see. It was not a good choice to return to Sichuan Prefecture now. It was only a matter of time before the place implemented public-private partnership.

Moreover, Sijiu City is under the feet of the emperor after all, and the street clerks are both good and bad, but they dare not go too far.

If I go back to a place like Sichuan Province, I can’t say for sure.

Besides, if he stayed in Sijiu City, after all, there were so many disciples there, which was far beyond what Wang Furong could compare to in his hometown.

It was because of the third senior brother's words that Wang Furong was appeased, but the old man was displeased with everyone at this time, and the few brothers who stayed with him were scolded like grandsons every day.

On the contrary, the old man still treated his disciple He Yuzhu as usual even though he had left.

He Yuzhu never severed his ties with that place in this life, and his fellow disciples often came to him to complain.

He Yuzhu didn't have a better solution for this matter and could only advise those people to be patient.

He Yuzhu knew that Wang Furong had a bad temper in his previous life and died of a cerebral hemorrhage after drinking.

But He Yuzhu couldn't persuade him on this matter.

As I said, although Wang Furong felt sorry for this apprentice, he also believed that He Yuzhu would have a bright future because of some of the things he had done.

But age limits Wang Furong's appreciation of him.

To put it bluntly, He Yuzhu's words have no weight in front of Wang Furong.

If you talk too much, the old man might even scold you.

He Yuzhu can't afford to mess with this thing.

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Lou Xiao'e became nervous and stammered, "In other words, individuals can no longer do business in the future?"

He Yuzhu could hear the little girl's nervousness, but he looked at Lou Xiao'e in surprise. What he saw was the dejection in Lou Xiao'e's eyes, as if her ideals were shattered.

He Yuzhu asked curiously: "Why do you care about this? Could it be that at your age, you want to inherit your father's business and become a big boss?"

Lou Xiao'e ignored He Yuzhu's joke. She turned around and left without even saying a word.

She wanted to tell her mother about this big news as soon as possible.
