Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 278 Li Kangri Resigns

After the secretary left, Lou Xiaoe said, "It seems you have made up your mind. Okay, go back and take a look first. Forget about Boss Li, but it would be bad not to go to the Feng Shui Association, right? After all, you are the president."

"Haha, Ezi, our family is not short of money now. As for the Feng Shui Association! If I don't go, can it still be called the Feng Shui Association? Don't worry, if I don't go, they will have to wait for me. When I go, they can open it. Are you kidding? My ability is there for everyone to see!"

Hearing Xu Damao's words, Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are not even one tenth as capable as your master!"

"I know! That's why I have to go back in a hurry. Let me tell you, if my master takes out even a little bit of medicine, hehe, I can sell it for a sky-high price here. Also, I miss my master too. It's been more than ten years. I have to go back and give him an explanation. After all, he is also my major shareholder."

"Yes, if there is a reason for me to go back, it is to see Brother Li. You go! I will go back after you have explored it." Lou Xiao'e looked longing, and that magical person appeared in her mind again.

At the same time, in the steel rolling mill office, Li Kangri packed up the things in the office and went to Li Huaide's office with his hands behind his back.

When he arrived at Li Huaide's office, Li Kangri pushed the door open and walked in. At this time, Li Huaide was pulling his hair with his hands, looking uncomfortable.

"Brother Li, are you upset?"

Seeing that it was Li Kangri, Li Huaide loosened his hands, with a bitter look on his face, "Ah! You really calculated it right, now..."

"Brother Li, there's nothing to be upset about. As the saying goes, things change over time. Good times will come after bad times, and things will turn around when they reach their peak. Isn't this the truth? Now is the time to leave. I want to leave too, so I'm here to resign while you're still here." Li Kangri said leisurely.

"You want to leave too?"

"You know what I'm saying. I don't care about that little salary at all. Everything will be open outside in the future. I can make a lot of money by doing something outside, and I don't have to worry about it."

"What do you want to do?"

"Opening a restaurant, treating illnesses, fortune-telling, what can't make money?"

"Then what can I do? How about you, brother, do the math for me?" Li Huaide said.

"Haha, why don't you quit your job and take a break for a while? When my fortune-telling business starts, you can be my first customer, okay?"

"Okay, it's settled. You'd better hurry up! I am the kind of person who can't stay at home all day even though I am idle all day long." Li Huaide said.

"Then don't stay here. Go out and have a drink and a meal with your old friends and keep in touch with them. It will definitely be useful in the future." Li Kangri hinted.

"Okay," Li Huaide nodded, "Give me your resignation letter and I'll approve it right away."

After saying goodbye to Li Huaide, Li Kangri went straight to the kitchen. How could he resign without taking his good apprentice with him?

"Master, it's not even noon yet. Are you hungry? How about I prepare something for you to eat?"

Seeing Li Kangri coming in, Sha Zhu greeted him with a smile.

"No, I'm not working at the steel mill anymore. I wasn't just now." Li Kangri looked at Sha Zhu with a smile on his face.

"What do you mean?" Sha Zhu looked confused.

"Literally, I'm resigning and won't be working in the factory anymore. I'm going to open a restaurant for your Auntie, and I'm in need of a chef. I wonder if you're willing to do it?"

"Ah! Master, you, you...are you okay? This is a stable job." Sha Zhu was shocked.

"Haha, a stable job?" Li Kangri laughed. "It will soon cease to be so. Just tell me whether you will resign with Master!"

"Well... Master, I'm doing a great job as the canteen director. I have little work, good pay, and can even bring in food. At this moment... it's really a bit..." Sha Zhu said hesitantly.

"Go, go, Master, I don't want to do this anymore. Wherever you go, we'll go. Brother Zhuzi is the same. We'll listen to you." Just when Sha Zhu was still hesitating, Yu Li came over and interrupted, "I've wanted to do this myself for a long time, but I don't know if it can be done. Since Master said it can be done, then it must be possible, right, Brother Zhuzi?"

After hearing Yu Li's words, Sha Zhu could only nod and say, "Hey, I was just afraid that Li Li would not agree. Now it's all right, everyone is happy. Master, I will resign now."

"Hahaha, Zhuzi, your brain, ah! Lily's brain is better. Master will give you 10% of the shares, work hard." Li Kangri said with a smile.

Hearing that there was a share for free, Yu Li smiled like a chrysanthemum, "Master, it doesn't matter if there is a share or not, as long as I can work with you, it's fine. You go back first, I will resign with Zhuzi now."

"Well, Lily, you will be the front desk manager from now on, so you'd better find someone to do odd jobs in the kitchen and cut vegetables." Li Kangri hinted with a smile.

Hearing Li Kangri's words, Yu Li understood immediately, "Master, don't worry, don't forget, you have many disciples and grandchildren."

After talking to Sha Zhu, Li Kangri went to the Personnel Department. At that time, Wang Yue was already the head of the Finance Department.

"Yuer, have you finished your resignation report?"

"It's already been done. I've handed it in. Now let's go home."

So, just like that, amidst a crowd of puzzled looks, the couple walked out of the Finance Department hand in hand.

Soon, after lunch, the news that Li Kangri and his wife, as well as Sha Zhu and his wife, had resigned spread throughout the steel mill.

Qin Huairu was incredulous when she heard the news. Yu Li was not mentioned, but the other three were all making over 100 yuan a month. Are these people crazy? They just gave up their good jobs? Is there something wrong?

Although she was an invisible minor character in the factory, she knew that Li Huaide was in trouble and might be kicked out one day.

"Yes, that must be the case. These people resigned because they knew they couldn't stay there any longer. They are all Li Huaide's men. God must have mercy on them! They also have bad luck sometimes." Qin Huairu thought excitedly.

After thinking it through, Qin Huairu went home briskly to cook.

……

"Hey Huairu, did you pick up some money today? Why are you so happy? If you picked up some money, you can buy some meat to improve our food. Our family hasn't eaten meat for a year." Jia Zhang, who was so thin that she was almost unrecognizable, said on the side.

"Mom, what are you thinking about?" Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at Jia Zhangshi. "We don't even have enough money to buy noodles, so where do we get the extra money to buy meat? I don't even know how to pay for Xiaodang and Huaihua's tuition next year."

"Then why do you look so happy?"

"Oh, it's like this. Director Li is going to go bankrupt. Sha Zhu and his wife, Li Kangri and his wife resigned today, so I am happy!" Qin Huairu said lightly.

"What? Those inhumane guys resigned?" Jia Zhang said excitedly.

"That's right. If they don't resign, how can they continue to work? I think they just don't want to be fired, so they don't work."

"Oh my god, God finally opened his eyes. I want to eat one more steamed bun today."

"What are you thinking about? Drink some boiled water! The quantities at home are calculated, otherwise if you are full for this meal, you will be hungry for the next one." Qin Huairu said unhappily.
