A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 391 Taking Office

"What, you asked me out just for this?" Fang Yuan shouted in surprise.

"Shh, keep your voice down. This is a high-end restaurant, not a roadside food stall. Stop shouting." Qiao Weidong interrupted him hurriedly and looked around to see if he was disturbing anyone else.

"Haha, you might as well invite me to a food stall instead of just sitting here and listening to the little... roasted bird immortal bragging about how he's having a good time. He's blabbering away, and I can't understand a word he's saying. This country is small, but it's full of immortals. It's like a small temple with many demons, and a shallow pond with many turtles."

Fang Yuan's mouth started to fire indiscriminately like a machine gun.

It's no wonder that he was full of complaints. He had been sitting here for half a day, and only a few skewers of grilled bird were served. Each skewer cost dozens of dollars, but they couldn't even fill his teeth. The more he ate, the hungrier he became, which made Fang Yuan a little impatient.

Seeing Fang Yuan wolfing down a skewer of roasted chicken, Qiao Weidong couldn't help but sneer, "Come on, I invited you to dinner and you're complaining. I asked you to come and savor the food, not fill your stomach."

"Try working for a day and you'll feel better when you talk while standing." Fang Yuan retorted.

However, Qiao Weidong was not angry. He cheerfully put his hand on Fang Yuan's shoulder and said, "So, you should leave the work to me. Wouldn't it be better for you to go home and rest for three months and take care of the child?"

Without waiting for Fang Yuan to open his mouth, he continued, "Don't worry, your salary will not be reduced by a cent. I will pay you the same salary as the pet shop pays you."

After hearing this, Fang Yuan became even more confused. Qiao Weidong had just asked him for the position of store manager, which had already left him completely baffled. Now he was also asked to pay his salary. It was truly unreasonable.

"Old Qiao, you're the type who won't do anything without a profit. You're so kind to help me, but what are you planning? Tell me straight out, or I won't let you take my place."

"I don't want to help Yingzi. My child is now pursuing her career, and as a father, of course I have to protect her." Qiao Weidong lied without hesitation.

Fang Yuan smiled. He didn't believe a single word of this. He glanced at him and said, "Go on."

"Hey, are you a buddy? You have to dig into this."

"If you don't explain clearly, how can I give you the position? And you want to take over the position. Do the other children agree? Let alone Yangyang and Didi, I feel that even Yingzi wouldn't agree. If I'm not mistaken, you only thought of me after you suffered a setback with Yingzi."

Fang Yuan's character is somewhat unmotivated, but that doesn't mean there is something wrong with his IQ. If he still can't detect any foul play in Qiao Weidong's abnormal behavior, then he has lived in vain.

Seeing his lie exposed, Qiao Weidong took off his glasses in frustration and massaged the bridge of his nose with his fingers. "To be honest with you, it's about what happened last time. You didn't think that I was done with organizing a birthday party, did you? I have to move back step by step. I'm busy looking for something to do nearby now, and meeting Song Qian is my second step."

"That's it? You should have said it earlier. Why are you being so secretive?"

Fang Yuan immediately felt relieved, as long as Qiao Weidong didn't come to the store to cause trouble.

"You agreed." Qiao Weidong asked in surprise.

"What's the point of my agreeing? I'm just an employee." Fang Yuan rolled his eyes at the other person. He felt that Qiao Weidong was stupid for being the boss and really thought he could make the decision.

"Just ask directly. I think it's a good thing. As long as you speak openly and don't make up some high-sounding reasons, there's no reason for the children to disagree."

Qiao Weiding was used to making excuses every day. He would find a plausible reason for anything. After listening to what Fang Yuan said, he immediately handed over the two skewers of roast chicken on his plate.

"Eat more. I'll leave this matter to you. I'll wait for your good news."

"You..." Fang Yuan was so angry that he couldn't speak. He felt that since Qiao Weidong wanted to remarry, why did he have to run around to serve him? He might as well hire a full-time secretary to give him hands-on guidance.

What Fang Yuan didn't know was that Qiao Weidong actually hired a full-time secretary.

At night, Qiao Yingzi came down the stairs in slippers and knocked on the door of Chen Jinnian's house.

"My dad asked Uncle Fang to plead for him. He wants the job of store manager." She shouted hurriedly as she entered the door, and then found that Chen Jinnian and Wang Yidi were very calm.

"you know?"

Chen Jinnian nodded. "I've noticed that your family's problems are more serious than those caused by the crew. Listen to my advice. It's best for the three of you to stay together forever. Don't cause trouble for outsiders."

In response to his teasing, Qiao Yingzi angrily punched him twice.

"I received a call from Uncle Fang. The content was the same as yours, but before I could figure out how to tell you, you came running down here." Wang Yidi said.

"But what should we do now? Should we agree or not?" Qiao Yingzi asked anxiously.

Chen Jinnian stood nearby and said with great interest, "It doesn't matter whether you agree or not. In my opinion, we should get Fang Yifan here. Only magic can defeat magic. We desperately need someone who's even more capable than your father to give him a good beating."

"Stop talking nonsense." After Qiao Yingzi finished criticizing Chen Jinnian, she sat on the sofa with Wang Yidi to discuss countermeasures.

According to their original intention, the pet shop must not be handed over to Qiao Weidong. This is the same as not letting Erha to guard the house. You can't expect a person who is used to being wild to work in the store.

And now that they know that Qiao Weidong has other plans, it is even more impossible for him to help.

"You two should stop discussing this. He doesn't want a salary anyway. If he wants to work in the store, then let him come. He won't be the store manager. Just give him a cleaning job. He can clean the place and clear the feces, and help bathe the pets. This will allow Uncle Qiao to exercise more and lose weight. It's like killing two birds with one stone." Chen Jinnian suggested.

Of course, what he said was not the main point. The main point was that he wanted Qiao Weidong, a member of the rentier class, to experience the work of the general public.

People should not eat too much, especially people like Qiao Weidong, who has nothing to do but do weird things.

"Ah, my dad might not want to do the cleaning job?" Qiao Yingzi said.

"If others can do it, why can't he? What's so precious about him? Besides, this is a good chance for you to test your dad and see if he's sincere towards your mom. If you don't want to endure even this little bit of hardship, then forget it as soon as possible and go back to living under his rule. You don't want your mom to become your dad's full-time babysitter after your parents remarry, do you?"

After hearing what Chen Jinnian said, Qiao Yingzi was immediately moved. It made sense. Since her father was looking for help to deal with her mother, then as a daughter, she would definitely stand on her mother's side to test and screen them.

"Yes, you are right. I can't let my dad get too complacent. At the same time, I have to dampen the arrogance of that stupid military advisor." Qiao Yingzi slammed the sofa hard.

Chen Jinnian immediately smiled triumphantly, "Done, now it's going to be fun."
