Shopkeeper Zhang asked strangely. Did he want to stay in Datong? Well, it was not impossible. Actually he quite liked staying in Datong, and also didn't want to part with them. It was just, well, human strives hard to move up. He had a big family to feed. If he could work in the prefecture, of course the pay would be higher, and he could also give his family a better life.
“Hehe…Here is the thing, Brother Zhang. I'm going to the capital in autumn next year the latest. So I plan to take you with me. First, you can directly take the post as the general shopkeeper of the head restaurant in the capital. Second, you can do me some little favors, you know. As for the monthly pay, you can rest assured. Except what Xinyuan pays you, I will pay you an extra one. Starting from this month. What do you say?”
Ling Jingxuan explained his intentions with a smile.
“That's awesome, of course, but forget about the money thing. I should snicker if I can work in the capital.”
On hearing that he could go to the capital, Shopkeeper Zhang held a big grin on his face. Not only because the monthly pay was higher, but more because there were more opportunities there. Although he might not need them, his brothers and kids needed them. If he could work in the capital, of course he'd take them all with him. By then, would he still have to be worried they couldn't have a bright future?
“Then it's settled. Besides, when will all the branch shopkeepers will gather in Cangzhou?”
Basically known as the year-end review meeting.
“Generally at the end of November, but if there is any special situation, the general restaurant in the prefecture will send letters to them. Why ask?”
“Nothing. It's just, you know, right after we got married, we started to be busy. And I got no time to spend time alone with Shengrui and the kids. So, since everything goes back on the track, I'm think about going on our honeymoon with Shengrui and the kids and see the world outside. If we happen to be there when you gather together, I can go see them by the way.”
This was a plan he had long conceived. Now, things of Baiyunge were left to Zhang Qing, and the businesses at home, he also planned to leave it to Ling Jingpeng. The school was still under construction. He could take the time to go around with his man and kids. The most importantly, Ling Jingpeng was going to take the examinations soon. By the time the school finished building, and the branch of Baiyunge opened, he could never go out.
“Honeymoon? Although I don't understand what you are talking about, I think it's not a bad thing that you go out to look the outside world. You have been exhausted in recent months. Jingpeng has me, at least, there won't be any big problems in business. I heard you also took over Baiyunge. Shopkeeper Hong and Shopkeeper Wang won't fool your cousin. And I guess no one would dare make difficulties for you at home, right?”
When it came to personal matters, Shopkeeper Zhang relaxed a lot. Now Ling Jingxuan suddenly changed his identity as his boss, sometimes he'd feel scared of him subconsciously, although that was not what he wanted, but…some things were uncontrollable.
“Haha…then I have to trouble you again. And things about the mushrooms will count on you. Jingpeng is still young, and needs more toughening. As long as there is any place he does inappropriate, just lesson him.”
While speaking, Ling Jingxuan smiled and glanced at his younger brother, while the latter scratched his head embarrassedly, but he really approved of them going out for some fun. His big brother had been too busy recently and did need some rest.
“Haha…then I won't stand on ceremony. But Jingxuan, I'm really jealous of you. You have two so capable younger brothers, and two cute and smart suns. If I were you, I'll be contented even if I got maxed out.”
“Look at what you say. Aren't your brothers and kids good?”
“Yeah, although my few brothers can't compare with Jingpeng and Jinghan, they are all well-behaved and quite diligent. And my sons are also quite sensible. But you know, everyone only wants his own kids better than others'…Alas…sorry to make you laugh.”
“Hehe…However good others' kids are, it's still others' kids, it has nothing to do with us. Every child is like a piece of white paper when it comes to this world. It all depends on how we teach them. Before, I was like a fool and didn't teach the kids much. But now what? I got nothing to teach them already. But, I still want to satisfy them as much as I can.”
All parents in the world hold the same heart to their kids. Even though Ling Jingxuan's character was a little peculiar, on things about the kids, like all the other parents in the world, he always wanted to offer them the best.

His words touched the soft spot in Shopkeeper Zhang's heart. He stretched out a hand to touch Ling Wen's delicate little face affectionately.
“Knock knock…”
A knocking sound was heard suddenly. Everyone turned their heads. A worker pushed the door open and came in, then said to Shopkeeper Zhang respectfully, “Boss, we have prepared everything you asked us to. The chef has cooked the thing according to Childe Ling's instruction. They mean to ask Childe Ling to take a look and see if something missed.”
“No need, no certain thing is needed for the hot pot. As long as the soup is well decocted, and prepare enough amount, that'd be enough. Since things are all prepared, you can set a table in the hall. Later I will teach you how to eat it. Oh right, don't forget to set a table here. We'll eat early today.”
Before Shopkeeper Zhang said anything, Ling Jingxuan said so faintly. It was only ten in the morning. But, they could avoid the rush hour at noon, and also advertise to their hot pot by the way. Maybe they would sell it at noon.
“Yes.”
Now except the branch shopkeepers, others still had no idea Ling Jingxuan had already been their second boss. The waiter subconsciously took a look at Shopkeeper Zhang, only after he gave him a nod did he backed out reverently.
“Daddy, I will teach them how to eat with you.”
The next second, Ling Wu suddenly rushed before Ling Jingxuan, eyes glittering, at the corner of his mouth it looked like some kind of saliva thing. Ling Jingxuan poked his head helplessly, “You little foodie. You even have never seen it before. How are you gonna teach others?”
Silly kid! Already went beyond himself when it was about food.
“Hee hee!”
Being complained by his daddy, the small bun didn't look bothered at all, and made a bad smile instead. Seeing that, everyone couldn't help chuckling.
