Wang Ge
The young people in the courtyard began to curry favor with Wang Jiefang, trying to use him to get a job at the restaurant "Food as Immortals." Yan Jiedi also stepped forward, looking at Wang Jiefang with admiration. "Brother Wang Jiefang, you opened 'Food as Immortals,' right? That's amazing! Well, I went for an interview last time but arrived a bit late, and you guys had already filled all the positions. Could you see if you could arrange a job for me?"
Faced with these neighbors who were eager for work, Wang Jiefang could only shrug helplessly. "The restaurant doesn't have any openings right now; I can't arrange anything for you. You should try looking elsewhere."
It was a joke. Ever since "Food as Immortals" became popular, he was constantly being contacted by various leaders, all wanting to arrange jobs for their relatives! Wang Jiefang could only brush them off with the excuse that there were no vacancies at the moment and that he would let them know when there were.
These people in the courtyard were so brazen, demanding jobs at "Food as Immortals." It wasn't just that he didn't have a close relationship with them; even if he did, he wouldn't arrange anything for them!
When they saw Wang Jiefang refuse to help them find jobs, their expressions immediately changed. "Wang Jiefang, you're being too selfish! You opened a restaurant and are doing well, but there are still so many people in the courtyard without jobs. Can't you help them out a bit? After all, we're all part of the same community; we should support each other!"
"If you help us now, when your restaurant has something going on, won't we be able to help you in return?"
Wang Jiefang found this line of reasoning oddly familiar. Oh? He remembered that Yi Zhonghai used to love using such emotional blackmail. He never expected that even though Yi Zhonghai had faded into the background, there were still others in the courtyard who knew how to play this game!
Facing their emotional manipulation, Wang Jiefang chuckled. "Let's skip it. If something comes up later, I wouldn't dare ask you for help anyway. After all, when my family was struggling before, none of you helped me, did you? Don't bring up this 'same community' nonsense!"
"You said it yourself; we're just neighbors living in the same courtyard! Even brothers can fight each other; why should I help you?"
The people in the courtyard understood that when Wang Jiefang mentioned brothers fighting, he was referring to Liu Haizhong's family!
Seeing that Wang Jiefang was unyielding, they didn't know what else to say. At that moment, Yan Bugui stepped forward. "Hey, Wang kid, that's not right. Liu Haizhong's family is just an exception; there's a saying that distant relatives are not as helpful as close neighbors!"
"Who can guarantee that your family will always be smooth sailing? If you help us now, how could we not repay your kindness? We will definitely help you in the future!"
"Look at your eyes; they can't see well. And Yu Wei is pregnant again! Now that you've got such a big restaurant to manage, you'll have a lot on your plate; there's no way you'll manage everything alone!"
"My son Yu Li and Yan Jiefang both have experience running restaurants. How about I let them come help you manage things? After all, you and my family’s Jiefang grew up together; you know him well enough to trust him more than those unknown people."
"Hehe, as for wages, just give them two hundred each per month; I've heard your wages aren't low."
Yan Jiefang initially felt jealous when he heard that "Food as Immortals" belonged to Wang Jiefang. Why should this blind man be better than him? What gave him the right to own "Food as Immortals"?
Now hearing his father suggest sending him and Yu Li to manage the restaurant made his eyes light up! His dad was indeed clever; he immediately thought of putting him in a management position!
Hehe! This Wang Jiefang is blind; once he and Yu Li use a little trickery, won't "Food as Immortals" soon belong to the Yan family?
Thinking about having "Food as Immortals," this golden goose that lays eggs in the future, Yan Jiefang couldn't help but chuckle softly!
