Chapter 332 Xia Xiaoluo Is Discriminated
Xia Xiaoluo was smart. With Ouyang Feng’s guide and help, the promotion activity during the term time was very successful. Xia Xiaoluo didn’t even want to study, she just wanted to concentrate on the management of the restaurant.
“Grandpa, can I stop studying? Now our business is so good, and the World of Luoluo can’t run without me.” Xia Xiaoluo discussed with Ouyang Feng tentatively.
“Xiaoluo, if you only want to be the owner of this small restaurant in your whole life, then you don’t have to study. But if you want to make it bigger, or even build a chain restaurant with the branches all over the world, it’s absolutely impossible that you stop to study.” Ouyang Feng didn’t answer Xia Xiaoluo’s question directly, he wanted to make the truth clear and let Xia Xiaoluo make a correct judgment by herself.
Xia Xiaoluo thought for a while. She was silent, and she didn’t say anything.
“Think about Taotao! What will he want his mom to do?” Ouyang Feng used his trump card. Every time when Xia Xiaoluo wanted to give up, as long as he mentioned Taotao, she would surely summon up the courage to go forward.
“I hope that Taotao’s mom will be the owner of the chain restaurant of the World of Luoluo!” Xia Xiaoluo clenched her fists and said to Ouyang Feng, gritting her teeth.
“Good! Since you have the ambition, I will support you!” Ouyang Feng praised Xia Xiaoluo at once. He knew that his granddaughter must be able to make the right choice.
“Grandpa, if I go to school, I may have to trouble you a lot about the restaurant. And Taotao stays at home, I…” Xia Xiaoluo didn’t finish, Ouyang Feng patted his chest and guaranteed that as long as Xia Xiaoluo was willing to study, he would support her all the time.
“Grandpa, it’s very kind of you!” Xia Xiaoluo kissed Ouyang Feng’s cheek happily, and Ouyang Feng felt very happy at once.
“No problem, I have a lot of time, and I can help you. It took me so much effort to find you, I must take good care of you and help you. Your business is my business.” Ouyang Feng said.
Although Xia Xiaoluo asked Ouyang Feng to help her a lot, she couldn’t feel at ease. After class, she would rush to the World of Luoluo at the first time, she did many things as she could and helped Ouyang Feng as much as possible. After going home in the evening, she accompanied Taotao all the time to make up for him. Until Taotao fell asleep, she stayed up late to review her lessons and preview the lessons of the next day.
Ouyang Feng has reminded Xia Xiaoluo for several times that the most important thing for her now was to finish her study. And he reminded her not to be like a top and be busy every day, which would exhaust her.
Xia Xiaoluo studied very hard during the daytime. Unlike when she was in Dwichen’s College before, she either skipped classes or slept in class. When she failed the exams, Ling Tianyi, as the biggest shareholder of the school would help her to settle all the problems. And she didn’t even need to take the make-up exam.
But now it was different. Xia Xiaoluo studied hard for the sake of her son. Because she had spiritual support now and she was not very stupid, so she could basically study well.
There were seven overseas students in Xia Xiaoluo’s class, and the rest were all local students from Y Country. Not knowing why, she always felt that the students in Y Country seemed to look down upon her.
During the break, a girl in Y Country accidentally dropped Xia Xiaoluo’s book on the ground. But she didn’t apologize, she just walked away directly without looking back.
“Hey!” Xia Xiaoluo was very dissatisfied.
“Xiaoluo, don’t be angry. It’s not worthy of being angry with the people who are impolite. Those foreign students just look down upon us.” A girl with short hair who was also from A City helped Xia Xiaoluo to pick up the book, she seemed indignant as well.
“Why do they look down upon us? We are also studying hard!” Xia Xiaoluo complained and she was not convinced. If she still didn’t study, just behaved like when she was in Dwichen’s College before, she wouldn’t care whether others look down upon her or not. After all, she just wanted to get a diploma at that time. Now she studied so hard, but she was still looked down upon by others.
And the most important thing was that Xia Xiaoluo thought that she was studying in the University of Y Country now, if she didn’t study well, others would not only look down upon her, but also look down upon her motherland.
Xia Xiaoluo was also an ambitious girl. Naturally, she was unhappy.
“They have already looked down upon us. After they know that you work in a restaurant, they look down upon you even more, so they treat you worse than us.” A boy said.
“Psycho!” Xia Xiaoluo said with depression. She was the owner, but now she was misunderstood as a waitress.
“That woman’s family is very rich, so she always looked down upon others.”
“Those local people looked down upon the overseas students who was doing a part-time job like us.”
“Yes!”
Several overseas students were chatting, Xia Xiaoluo was very annoyed, she even couldn’t concentrate on listening to the teacher at the last class. After school, she went back to find Ouyang Feng and continued to work in the restaurant. She was willing to do everything, such as serving the guests and washing dishes. After all, it was her restaurant. She had to pay something, or she wouldn’t feel at ease.
“Xiaoluo, are you in a bad mood today? Is it that you have troubles understanding the lesson?” Ouyang Feng saw that Xia Xiaoluo was in a bad mood, so he wanted to comfort her.
“Grandpa, I…” Xia Xiaoluo sighed, and then she told Ouyang Feng what happened at school during the daytime.
Ouyang Feng smiled at Xia Xiaoluo all the time. Although he was angry in his heart, he didn’t express it.
After all, his own granddaughter felt wronged at school, he was sure that he was really angry. But even if he was an old rogue, he couldn’t let his rage affect his granddaughter. He must give Xia Xiaoluo a correct guidance and help her to let it go, so that she could treat such things with the right attitude.
“Xiaoluo, it’s not strange that other people treat you like this. The world is so big and there are all kinds of people. You can’t ask everyone to be friendly to you.” Ouyang Feng said.
“But the foreigners bullied me! I didn’t provoke anyone!” Xia Xiaoluo was still unhappy.
“Why did she bully you instead of others? Have you thought about it?” Ouyang Feng asked.
“I know! Because I am an overseas student, and they saw me serving and greeting guests in the restaurant all day long, so they thought that I was very poor. And they thought that I was a waitress, they looked down upon me even more.” Xia Xiaoluo said with depression.
“Well! That is one of the reasons.” Ouyang Feng said.
“So I say that they bullied me! They are so impolite.” Xia Xiaoluo was angrier when she said this.
“Xiaoluo, it’s not right for them to bully others. But when we encounter such a thing, we should review it from our own side to see if we did anything wrong first.” Ouyang Feng continued to guide Xia Xiaoluo.
“Me? I didn’t make any mistake. I didn’t do anything wrong to them.” Xia Xiaoluo was angrier. She felt that Ouyang Feng didn’t stand on her side, so she was very upset.
“Oh, are you angry with grandpa? You think that I don’t help you, right?” Ouyang Feng knew what Xia Xiaoluo was thinking about. Although he was an old rogue, he has been the leader of the Ouyang family for dozens of years. His insight was absolutely the first-class. It was absolutely no problem to see Xia Xiaoluo’s thought.
“No! How can I be angry with you!” Xia Xiaoluo said with duplicity.
“No, you little girl.” Ouyang Feng smiled, “Xiaoluo, I say it this way because I have my own reason. I will tell you. I believe you can listen to me and understand my goodwill.”
“Xiaoluo, think about it. If your classmates know that you are the owner of the World of Luoluo, will they bully you? Why do they misunderstand that you are a waitress? Have you thought about that?” Ouyang Feng asked.
“Because I’m the owner, so I want to set an example and do everything by myself. I take the initiative to hand out the coupons, to welcome the guests at the gate, to greet the guests and serve them. Isn’t that right?” Xia Xiaoluo asked.
“As the owner, you should have your own tasks. It’s a good quality that you can start from basic things. But this is not a long-term plan. The reason is very simple, everyone has different tasks. You did the things that the owner would not do, no wonder everyone would look down upon you and no one thinks that you are the owner.” Ouyang Feng analyzed.
“Then what should I do in the restaurant?” Xia Xiaoluo asked.
“Check accounts, supervise and think about the development of the restaurant!” Ouyang Feng said.
“You have helped me to check accounts and supervise the employees, grandpa. As for the development, the restaurant is just at the beginning now. I just want to earn a little money on the basis of capital preservation. Development is the task in the future!” Xia Xiaoluo said.
“Xiaoluo, if we want the restaurant to become bigger and stronger, we have to treat the problems from the perspective of the development and take a long-term view. If you can think about the things three years later today, you can earn money to support yourself and Taotao. If you can think about the things five years later, you can live a very rich life. But if you can think about the things ten or twenty years later, you are a successful entrepreneur.” Ouyang Feng said.
“You mean that if I only focus on the immediate interests and hire fewer people to save costs, then I am short-sighted. At present, the salary of one or two employees is saved, but it is not conducive to the long-term development of the restaurant, and it is not conducive to my image. It will also delay my own things and make me very tired. The gain is not worthy of the loss!” Xia Xiaoluo said thoughtfully.
“Yes, that’s what I mean! It’s good that you can understand.” Ouyang Feng smiled. His granddaughter was really smart.
“What’s more, you are very tired and busy now, and you have to accompany Taotao in the evening. You don’t have so much time to do the work as a waitress. You have to use your time on the important things. You can’t waste your time in washing dishes and serving the guests.” Ouyang Feng continued to teach Xia Xiaoluo.
“Now your uncle and I support you. The cost of your restaurant is not a problem at all, so you don’t have to think about the cost saving. Saving costs is a good thing, I am not against of it, but you shouldn’t do it in the right way.” Ouyang Feng took this opportunity to tell Xia Xiaoluo what he wanted to tell her before. After all, for the Ouyang family, the operating capital of such a small restaurant was nothing at all.
