"Since you're here, I'll treat you to dinner tonight as a welcome-back dinner."
"No need?"
"Of course, we're neighbors. Your sister lives next door to me now, so she can come over to visit often."
After speaking, He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao, who was grinning beside him, and said:
"What are you laughing at? Hurry up and go back to the courtyard house!"
Xu Damao was very puzzled: "Brother Zhu, why didn't you invite me to dinner?"
"What business is it of yours? I'm inviting your sister and older sister to dinner. You'd better go home now."
Xu Damao asked with a bitter face, "Really not me?"
"Really do not have."
Xu Damao didn't realize He Yuzhu was telling the truth until he was chased back. He sighed and got on his bicycle.
Xu Zhaodi and her brother chuckled to themselves, tidied themselves up, and then went to He Yuzhu's house together.
Xu Zhaodi had gotten used to eating at He Yuzhu's house frequently during this period.
Time flew by, and by the end of the month, He Yuzhu was quite busy, receiving his wages and dividends from the braised meat shop and the cannery.
After getting off work, I went to the tavern and asked, "Have you settled the accounts?"
"It's already been calculated."
Zhao Yali whispered, "We filled some of the hole from last month, and then we made a profit of 825 yuan this month."
He Yuzhu nodded. Of the operating profit, 5% dividends, amounting to 20 yuan, must first be deducted.
The pub, along with the three adjacent rooms and all the amenities, is valued at a discounted price of 4800 yuan.
At an annual interest rate of 5%, that's 240 yuan a year, and 20 yuan in dividends every month.
Zhao Yali said that the 5 yuan difference wouldn't count, and that they would only allocate the remaining 800 yuan.
He Yuzhu had no objection to this. One-quarter of the money was paid as taxes, one-quarter was paid to the local government, 200 yuan was He Yuzhu's own money, and the remaining 200 yuan was the salary for Zhao Yali and the other four people.
In other words, He Yuzhu can earn 220 yuan a month from the tavern.
Zhao Yali had already prepared a stack of money and handed it to He Yuzhu, saying, "This is your share. Count it."
He Yuzhu started counting the money, and finally counted out that it was 253 yuan.
"That's not right, there's an extra 33 yuan here. Shouldn't it be 220 yuan? This is 253."
"Yes, you work here too, and you get paid as well."
Zhao Yali said, "Your dividend is 20. According to the four-way profit sharing, you can get 200 yuan in profit, and your salary will also be calculated."
He Yuzhu always thought he didn't get paid at the tavern, since he only came to sit there in the evenings.
Unlike braised meat shops, taverns require customers to provide their own braised meat recipes, which is a daily requirement – essentially, you're working there.
But at the tavern, he didn't actually need to do anything. He only stayed in the tavern to chat and boast because his wife was pregnant, and Xu Zhaodi and Chen Xueru were also pregnant.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yali had even calculated a salary for herself.
"That's not really appropriate, I'm not often at the pub."
So, he was paid from three sources: one from the braised meat shop, one from the cannery, and one from this little tavern.
The shops on Qianmen Street haven't even been counted yet. If they pay wages there too, then we can earn wages from four different sources.
Zhao Yali said, "Of course, we all agree."
He Yuzhu asked, "Will Fan Jinyou agree?"
It's impossible for someone who turned Fan Jinyou from a street-level cadre into an ordinary employee not to harbor resentment towards him.
If I were to receive a salary here, how could Fan Jinyou not cause trouble?
"Why would he have a problem with that? He's just an ordinary employee."
After saying that, Zhao Yali called Fan Jinyou over and asked, "Do you have any objections to Manager He also receiving a salary?"
"No, how could I possibly have a problem with that?"
Fan Jinyou shook his head vigorously, saying, "It was under Manager He's guidance that the tavern regained its former liveliness and was brought back to life. It's only right that we get a salary."
Well, since Fan Jinyou said so, He Yuzhu put all the money into his pocket.
Why not take it if it's free? Taking it isn't a waste either; 30 yuan a month isn't a small amount.
Zhao Yali instructed He Yuzhu that the two of them should go to the neighborhood committee to report on their work tomorrow. The tavern had lost money last month, and although it had resumed normal operations this month, the neighborhood committee was still paying close attention to it.
The next day, He Yuzhu and Zhao Yali went to the neighborhood committee and found the neighborhood committee auntie.
After they sat down, the old lady personally brewed tea for them and placed it in front of them.
"You two look so happy, the tavern must be doing very well this month, right?"
"Very good, it has never been better."
Zhao Yali said happily, "Auntie, after deducting costs, we made a profit of 825 yuan this month."
"So tall?" The neighborhood committee lady was surprised when she heard that.
"Yes, the tavern is really popular right now," Zhao Yali said, describing the current bustling atmosphere of the tavern.
After hearing this, the neighborhood committee auntie smiled and nodded.
"With such good results, I can rest assured and give the neighborhood a satisfactory answer."
He Yuzhu asked, "Auntie, is it appropriate for me to receive a salary even when I don't work at the tavern?"
Chapter 217 Beaten
I came here today to make this matter clear. Without the neighborhood committee auntie's approval, taking that money would be a ticking time bomb.
He might be used against himself by Fan Jinyou at some point.
The neighborhood committee auntie said with a smile:
"Manager He, don't have this doubt. The tavern can't do without your guidance, so it's only right that you get paid. You're the private manager, so you don't need to strictly follow the attendance system. Just make sure the tavern runs well."
"Okay, I understand, thank you, ma'am."
In the braised meat shop in District 5, they once caused a scene, trying to deduct He Yuzhu's wages, but in the end, it went smoothly, and he was able to get his wages every day.
Since the neighborhood committee auntie said that about He Yuzhu, then there was no need to say anything more.
After Zhao Yali finished her report, the neighborhood committee auntie offered a few words of encouragement and then the report session ended.
Before they could even sit down back at the tavern, Xu Xiaomei came looking for them.
"Brother Zhu, come out here for a second."
He Yuzhu got up, went to the door, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Brother Zhu, you'd better go back quickly, Jia Dongxu beat up Yushui."
"What? Jia Dongxu splashed rainwater?"
Xu Xiaomei nodded: "Yes, Aunt Yi and her husband had another fight today. Yushui helped to break it up, but she was biased towards Aunt Yi. Jia Dongxu sided with his master and hit Yushui."
"That's really asking for a beating."
He Yuzhu was furious. She wouldn't even let Jia Dongxu hit her, which was unforgivable.
He Yuzhu was very angry, and then when he returned home, Xu Huizhen said, "You should go back and check on things right away."
"Okay, make sure the door is closed."
After leaving those words, He Yuzhu pushed the bike out, jumped on it, and pedaled incredibly fast.
It took more than 10 minutes to get back to No. 95 Nanluoguxiang from Qianmen Hutong.
I left the car and went into the yard. There was no one in the front yard, but I could hear a lot of noise coming from the middle yard, with many people talking.
After passing through the passageway, you can see that almost everyone in the courtyard has gathered in the middle courtyard. Some people are trying to persuade Aunt Yi, while others are trying to persuade Yi Zhonghai.
Most people watched the show in small groups around the outer circle.
I also saw He Yushui with Wen Yuping. Although they weren't crying, there were still signs of a fall.
It rained intermittently today, and there was a lot of mud on the ground. He Yushui's clothes were covered in mud.
Ever since He Daqing ran away, He Yuzhu has doted on his younger sister. Over the years, they have developed a strong bond, and even when he does something wrong, he can't bear to lay a finger on her.
I never expected that Jia Dongxu would dare to bully his own sister today.
He Yuzhu quickly found Jia Dongxu in the crowd; he was standing next to Yi Zhonghai.
He Yuzhu strode towards him, and when he got close, he grabbed his collar and demanded, "You hit my sister today?"
"Zhu Zi, listen to me, it's not what you think..."
"What do I think of?" He Yuzhu asked, raising his hand.
"Zhu Zi, don't do anything rash!" Yi Zhonghai shouted as soon as he saw this.
But He Yuzhu ignored him completely, raised his hand high, and brought it down heavily, slapping Jia Dongxu across the face.
