When Ye Qing talked to Lin Wan, there was a charming smile on her face, but the smile was so fake that it ruined the beauty of her lovely little face.
Ye Qing didn’t have Lin Wan’s pure and clean beauty; instead, she had a bright and alluring charm. If she wore makeup, she would have a seductive grace. However, she still had some immaturity now.
"You too. Your skin has become a lot fairer. Much prettier than before."
Lin Wan’s words made Ye Qing feel a bit uncomfortable.
"Since brother asked you to come, just work well here. It’s one dollar a day, which is enough for more than half a month’s living expenses."
Ye Qing’s dad wasn’t diligent either; he muddled through each day without achieving much. If it weren’t for the help from Ye Qing’s Grandpa’s family, they might not be living much better than her family.
However, her Grandpa was no longer the village party secretary, and his prestige was gradually declining. At home, with a daughter-in-law and grandchildren, he couldn’t help much either.
Ye Qing’s dad liked drinking, spent his days in a daze, unable to do anything. The farm work was done by her brother and mother, and her mother often got beaten by her dad, spending many days unable to get out of bed. The only person in the family who could be relied upon was her brother, but he was numb to the family, focusing only on his own work, and didn’t care much about the family’s affairs. Letting her go to college was because Ye Qing’s dad wanted to show off in the village and save face, borrowing a lot of money for it. Besides, even the poorer Liang family could afford college, so they believed they could too. It had to be said that apart from being lazy, Ye Qing’s dad loved to show off.
Lin Wan didn’t wait for Ye Qing to speak and called Xiao Yu over. "Xiao Yu, you show Ye Qing around."
Then she said to Ye Qing, "If you don’t know anything, just ask Xiao Yu. She’s an old hand in the store, so you can follow her from now on."
When Lin Yinghui brought Ye Qing in, he coincidentally met Huang Dashan delivering seafood. At this time, Lin Yinghui wasn’t beside them, so Lin Wan spoke with less restraint.
She couldn’t forget Ye Qing’s nasty face before she died in her past life. Originally, she wanted to stay away from her, but now Ye Qing was approaching herself. She wasn’t the fool from her past, letting people take advantage of her while remembering their kindness.
"Xiao Wan, I will work hard and not let you lose face," Ye Qing said with a smile, holding back her unhappiness inside.
"It’s not about losing face or not, just do a good job. We have rules in our store; if you don’t do well, your salary will be deducted."
Lin Wan didn’t want to argue much with Ye Qing, so she said something to Xiao Yu and took Ye Qing to get busy.
She originally wanted the waiters in the store to wear a uniform, but later was too busy to think about it. So she bought a few chef’s hats for them to wear.
In restaurants, the most taboo thing was finding a hair in the food. Lin Wan was very attentive in this regard.
Lin Yinghui and Huang Dashan went to their village. Besides mountain goods, their specialty was sweet potato vermicelli, with almost every household growing sweet potatoes. During the sweet potato harvest season, the vermicelli workshops were filled with people.
A pound of vermicelli cost one dollar. This price was quite high. Since it was their first time doing this kind of business, Lin Yinghui didn’t dare take too much, only taking five hundred pounds.
Country folks were honest, and since it was their own stuff, they didn’t mind giving a tiny bit more.
In the end, Lin Yinghui calculated and found that they got at least ten pounds more.
Lin Yinghui stayed at Huang Dashan’s place for a night, and the next day Brother Huang helped him send the goods back to the city.
