Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

When everything calmed down, Carter became a lot busier.

After entering the second year of high school, there were more courses scheduled. As the construction team moved in, the construction of the highway business district also began. In addition to the school and the bank, Carter also needed to go to the construction site from time to time.

In October in the southern United States, although the sun is still shining brightly, the temperature has dropped a lot. Especially since Georgia is close to the sea, the temperature in the state is more suitable.

Today, as always, Carter drove straight to the construction site with the cool autumn wind blowing.

"Mr. Patel, can we start building the shop now?"

"Okay, Mr. Black. You see, we have already started preparations. After the foundation is laid, we can build the building... Otherwise, why not build two floors? Only one floor will be a waste of land.

, for a two-story shop, people can still live upstairs. If they don’t want to go back to the city at night, the shop assistants can rest here for the night.”

The head of the construction team, Patel, greeted Carter from the construction site as soon as he saw Party A's father. He enthusiastically introduced the work they were doing to Carter, making it clear that they had never done anything to Carter.

Be lazy when you are away.

"No, one floor is enough. It's not far from the city. If there are too many people, buying a bus as a shuttle will solve the problem. No accommodation space is needed."

An extra floor means more money. Carter ignored Patel's deception, put on his helmet and wandered around the construction site, and chatted with the two future KFC clerks stationed here.

Afterwards, Carter left in a hurry.

For Carter, who is not an engineering major, the symbolic significance of visiting the construction site is completely greater than the practical significance. It is enough to let the people in the construction team know that Party A attaches great importance to him and will come for random inspections frequently.

"Jenny, I'm back! Are Anna and Joey here?"

After returning home, Carter shouted at the top of his voice while changing his shoes.

After the basic water and electricity pipelines were laid, Carter felt that the construction of the first-floor shops would not take long at all. It was also time for a showdown with Anna...

"It will be a while before they get off work, so you should go and wash up first. Melis should be back later, and it will be time for dinner."

Naturally, Carter would not hide it from Jenny when he used family money to open a shop. Knowing that Carter had something serious to discuss with his eldest daughter and prospective son-in-law tonight, Jenny also started preparing for dinner early.

"Okay, then I'll go upstairs first."

After a while, when Carter finished washing and came downstairs feeling refreshed, the whole family and Joey were already seated at the dining table.

"Hurry up and sit down, Bolognese noodles, eat it while it's hot! We'll talk about it after you finish if you have anything to do."

"I...okay!"

Looking at the bowl of spaghetti with meat sauce that Jenny brought in front of him, Carter twitched the corner of his mouth and held back the words he was about to say. But while eating, Carter suddenly noticed that Joey sitting opposite him seemed a little nervous.

.

He almost always eats in small quantities, and his buttocks are pressed against the stool slightly away from the ground. His body leans forward slightly, and he glances back at Anna from time to time...

"Joy, is the food not to your liking?"

"Ah, no, no, no, Mrs. Black's cooking is delicious."

Faced with Carter's casual question, Joey dropped his knife and fork and waved his hands nervously.

"Don't be so nervous, Joey! My brother is not as scary as the rumors outside say!"

ha?

Now it's Catmon's turn...

Blinking his eyes suspiciously, Carter looked at his cheap eldest sister, as if asking her what she meant, what was being spread about me? Why didn't I know?

"By the way, Carter, why did you call us here this time?"

Anna didn't seem to see Carter's hint, or maybe because she saw Jenny's presence, she didn't stay on the topic for a long time. She directly changed the subject and asked Carter about his purpose.

Since joining the job, Anna, who has money in her pocket, has not yet moved out to live with Joey, but almost no one is seen at the dinner table. If Carter hadn't asked Melis to notify her in advance this time,

Don't even think about seeing Anna tonight.

"Recently, my family is opening a restaurant on Route 23. Have you heard about it? I want you and Joey to work there. The salary is the same as that of a supermarket for the time being. The store manager who came to help when it opened can only do

In three months, after you get to know each other well, you will be promoted to store manager, and the salary will definitely be higher than in the supermarket."

It's not that Carter is reluctant to give the restaurant to his eldest sister, but telling them from the beginning that this restaurant is for you, Carter doesn't think it's a good thing. Instead, let them start from the basics, it will be better if there is a little competitive pressure, and they can truly understand the restaurant.

Pay attention and learn something.

When the store manager sent by KFC headquarters leaves, as long as their abilities are not far behind Anna's two classmates, the store manager will definitely be theirs.

Regarding this point, Carter has already communicated with Jenny, and Jenny will naturally not object to Carter's intention.

"Going to the restaurant? But we are just getting familiar with the work in the supermarket now. Carter, this is too sudden for you! Why didn't you tell us earlier?"

"I've been wanting to tell you for a long time. Can I see you?"

Carter couldn't help but roll his eyes, forget it if he didn't see her normally. He wanted to tell her before opening the store, but she ended up driving him away?

Besides, the water and electricity pipelines have been laid for a month. When the Blake family's real money went out, Jenny was always thinking about it. When she went to the supermarket to buy food, Carter didn't believe that Jenny hadn't told Anna that the family was preparing to open a restaurant.

Even if they didn't say it in the supermarket, they would say it in the evening when mother and daughter have a private talk, right?

I realized it later and didn't take it seriously, so why do I still blame myself?!

"Okay, okay, it's so rare to meet each other, why do you get choked up when we meet? Anna, please discuss Carter's suggestion with Joey? I still want you to work in a restaurant. How can you give your own family money by working for others?

Are you happy with your job? When that store manager leaves, this position will still be yours!"

Jenny, who was committed to maintaining family harmony, saw Carter rolling his eyes, and immediately slapped Carter. Although the slap was very light, Carter knew that Jenny was not malicious, but, my mother! Why do you spit out everything?!

"Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense! There are still two employees in the store now, and they are Anna's classmates. There will definitely be fair competition, the capable will be promoted, and the mediocre will be demoted. Otherwise, if you are nepotistic, people will see it in your heart.

What do you think? All the shop assistants have gone away, do I just expect them to support the restaurant?"

Carter winked at Jenny crazily...

How can we talk about the secret operation in the open?

"Hey, Carter! Do you look down on us? Why can't the two of us run a restaurant? The couple has opened so many restaurants. If they can do it, so can we!"

"What the hell! I run a fast-food restaurant. Do you know what a fast-food restaurant is? The core thing is to be fast and efficient! The food is served quickly, and the store must be cleaned quickly! There are too few people. It can't be done. I don't believe you.

Ask Joey... Joey! Do you think the two of you can make meals and serve them to the guests within one minute?"

Joey seemed a little lost and did not answer Carter's question at first. So Carter shouted again:

"Joy?!"

"ah?"

This time Joey reacted, but he overreacted...

Suddenly he jumped up from his seat, and Joey's knee accidentally hit the edge of the table. He grinned in pain, but he hurriedly replied:

"No, no! Anna, we can't do it, Bukater is right!"
