22 -22: Dad and Mom successfully promoted to be the ‘Utility Person’_1

In the kitchen.

The tempting smell of the home-cooked meal made by mum, Zhang Yuping, wafted.

Ding Yue sat cross-legged on the sofa, his stomach growling.

Finally, he was home, and he definitely had to indulge in mum’s delicious meal.

“Bro, how did you manage to hire Jian Zihao?”

Ding Xiaoyou had heard of Jian Zihao, a professional player in “League of Legends,” a famous ADC with a high popularity.

She never expected him to become a lecturer at her brother’s school, Ding Yue.

“It was quite a surprise actually.

I just thought I’d try my luck, so I sent some gifts in Jian Zihao’s live streaming room, then added him on Whatsapp and mentioned this opportunity to him.”

Ding Yue explained with a smile: “Turns out, Jian Zihao agreed to it just like that.”

“E-sports Game College, bro, how did you come up with that?

Nowadays, more young people are into gaming, games like LOL, King of Glory, and the Chicken Dinner game.”

“You play games too, lil’ sis?”

“Yeah, I play Candy Crush.

I’m really good at it!” Ding Xiaoyou proudly asserted.

Umm.

Well.

For a super nerd like her, who only focuses on studies all day, probably Candy Crush is the only game she can manage.

“Fair enough, you’re a senior now, and academics are your priority.

There’ll be plenty of time to play other games after getting into university.”

Ding Yue imparted these words with deep affection to his sister.

“Humph.”

Ding Xiaoyou countered with an arrogant throwback of her head and a chest-out posture.

Ding Yue looked intently.

His sister had become quite grown up!

Gurgle~

Ding Yue’s stomach grumbled again.

Although he was only slightly peckish, the aroma of Zhang Yuping’s cooking had intensified his hunger.

“What a waste not to start a restaurant with mom’s skills.”

Ding Yue jokingly quipped.

Hmm?

Suddenly, Ding Yue turned thoughtful.

“Bro, what are you thinking about?”

“Sis, what if…

our mum, being such a good cook and with dishes so yummy, opens a cafeteria at my university.

Wouldn’t it be extremely popular?”

Ding Yue, with a twinkle in his eye, suggested.

“Isn’t your university cafeteria already contracted out?”

“Nope, they were planning on calling for bids, but now… hehe.”

A smile crept at the corners of Ding Yue’s mouth.

His own university.

Why call for bids to contract the canteen out?

Wouldn’t it be profitable to run their own canteen?

Zhang Yuping’s cooking was so good.

Delicious and exquisite home-cooked meals at a very reasonable cafeteria price would certainly make the business booming!

“Hahaha, let Mum open the canteen at your university.”

Ding Xiaoyou suggested with a hearty laughter.

Their dad, Ding Jianjun, who was listening nearby, nodded in agreement, “That’s a great idea, your mum often complains she has nothing to do all day.”

“By the way, Dad, aren’t you an electricity and water maintenance worker?” Ding Yue suddenly remembered his dad’s occupation.

An electrician in a company, with a fixed monthly salary subject to the boss’s satisfaction.

My university, Mist City Arts and Science University right here, needs plumbers and electricians for maintenance, and Dad is perfect for the job.

It would be a waste not to put him to work.

“How so?”

Ding Jianjun looked at his son, frowning in question.

Is this kid actually trying to take advantage of his own dad?

“Dad, my university, Mist City Arts and Science University, is currently looking to hire a group of electricians and plumbers to take care of the regular maintenance.

You, Dad, are an experienced electrician.

Why not come work at my university?

Lead the plumbing and electricity maintenance group.

You can consider it as a way of supporting my entrepreneurial efforts, haha.”

Ding Yue excitedly said to his father.

“Brother, you’re planning on getting both Mom and Dad on the front line to support your entrepreneurship, aren’t you?” Ding Xiaoyou laughed behind her hand.

“Exactly!

Once we’ve made a successful school, we’ll be making quite a bit by the end of the year.

Then I can buy you guys a big villa!” Ding Yue continued, looking at Ding Jianjun, his dad.

“What do you say?

Dad, have a think about it.”

“Am I getting paid?”

Ding Jianjun suddenly asked.

At his current job, Ding Jianjun makes about 7-8 thousand a month and, the best part is, he doesn’t have to give the money to his wife.

With all that money in his pocket, he can smoke, drink, and dine with friends as he pleases.

Isn’t that great?

“Hahaha, Dad, are you saying you’re afraid I won’t pay you?

As the head of the plumbing and maintenance team, you would earn a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan.

If you don’t want the job, then I can always find someone else…”

Ding Yue tried to use reverse psychology on his father.

“Fine, fine, fine.

Who am I to disagree when I’m your father?

Of course, I should support your entrepreneurship.” Ding Jianjun immediately agreed.

Not long after, their mom Zhang Yuping had finished preparing dinner.

During the meal, Ding Yue brought up to his mother Zhang Yuping the idea of her running a cafeteria at the Mist City Arts and Science University.

“You want me to run the cafeteria?

No, no, no.

I couldn’t possibly manage that all by myself.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuping immediately shook her head.

“Mom, our school has two large cafeterias.

You wouldn’t be running them alone!

You have skills.

You can hire chefs and staff when the time comes.”

Ding Yue explained in detail.

“Right, brother has a point.

The school is my brother’s and the food and health of the students are important issues.

It’s better to let our own family handle things than outside contractors.”

Ding Xiaoyou also agreed with the idea of having their mom, Zhang Yuping, run the cafeterias at their brother’s school.

She began helping her brother by attempting to persuade their mother.

“Yes, that’s true.

We’ve recruited these students, and we owe it to them to be responsible for their diets.

We can’t be careless about the food.

”

Zhang Yuping felt a sense of responsibility.

Her son was opening the school, and to the students studying in her son’s school, she had to ensure that the food served was clean, hygienic, delicious, and affordably priced.

It would indeed be more reassuring to personally run the cafeteria than to let someone else do it.

“Go for it.

It’s all for supporting our son’s business.” Ding Jianjun also advised his wife to run the cafeteria at their son’s school.

“Mom, I really need you.

With your amazing cooking skills, you can definitely build a great reputation for my Mis City Arts and Science University’s cafeteria!”

Ding Yue said to his mother, Zhang Yuping, bright-eyed and with a pleading expression.

“I could do it, but what about Xiaoyou’s food?” Zhang Yuping’s last concern was for her daughter, Ding Xiaoyou’s daily meals.

“Mom, I can eat at my school.

Our school’s cafeteria is pretty good.” Ding Xiaoyou, naturally wanting to fully support her brother, said: “Whenever I want to eat your cooking, I’ll just come to brother’s school, or I can have it after I come back home at night.

Hehe.”

At last.

After Ding Yue’s plea, Ding Jianjun’s persuasion, and Ding Xiaoyou’s support.

Their mother, Zhang Yuping eventually agreed to work at the Mist City Arts and Science University to help her son manage the cafeteria.

“Dad, mom, starting from tomorrow, you will come to the school with me to get familiar with the environment.

After that, I will buy you each a car for commuting.

You guys can choose to live near the school or come back home.

It’s up to you.”

Ding Yue made a rough plan for his parents’ forthcoming stay at the Mist City Arts and Science University.

“What job is your dad going to do?”

Zhang Yuping asked confusedly.

At this moment, Ding Jianjun proudly stood tall and said: “I am now the head of the plumbing and electricity maintenance team at our son’s university.”
