Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

After discovering that Cao Zhiqiang was determined not to accept the invitation of the University of Hong Kong, and did not want to go to the University of Hong Kong to give a speech, Mr. Jiang stopped talking about this issue, but talked about another issue, that is, the issue of joining the Writers Association.

According to the vice chairman of the Writers Association, the Writers Association very much hopes to have a talented newcomer like Cao Zhiqiang join. If Cao Zhiqiang agrees, then he will jointly recommend Cao Zhiqiang to join the Writers Association with another vice chairman of the Writers Association.

If it was jointly recommended by the two vice-chairmen, coupled with Cao Zhiqiang's current fame and status, I believe that there is no need to wait for a year at all, and there is no need to join the Peking Writers Association first, fill out a form, and go through the motions. Directly join the National Writers Association and become a member of it.

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang directly raised his eyebrows: "Is it true?"

"Of course it's true." Mr. Jiang smiled, "It's a special matter. I believe that in your situation, no one will object."

Hearing the words of the old man whose pen name is Ai, Cao Zhiqiang chuckled, noncommittal.

If it was two months ago, this old man came to talk to him, Cao Zhiqiang would definitely be delighted and agree without saying a word.

After all, Cao Zhiqiang at that time did not have the career and status he has now, and he was still working hard for fame and fortune.

As a person who earned his first pot of gold by coding at the beginning, he is of course willing to join the Writers Association, after all, this is also an honor.

But now, Cao Zhiqiang doesn't care much about the identity of the Writers Association.

It's not that Cao Zhiqiang looks down on the Writers Association, but that Cao Zhiqiang really doesn't have that much free time.

Although the binding force of the Writers Association is not strong, it is a circle. When you join, you always have to deal with people in this circle, and you always have to play some activities and meetings from time to time.

For many people, this may be a dream, but for Cao Zhiqiang now, this is a tasteless, tasteless food, and it is not a pity to discard it.

In essence, Cao Zhiqiang is not the same as those people. Although he has achieved great achievements in poetry, the essence is nothing more than plagiarism, and then he uses plagiarism to make money.

Now that the money has been obtained, he has also begun to target the music industry, so naturally he has no interest in the Writers Association.

The most important thing is that the Writers Association is no longer helpful to Cao Zhiqiang, and may waste his time and energy, so it is better not to join.

In particular, thinking that poets who wrote SNP in his previous life could join, made Cao Zhiqiang feel sick for a while.

A gentleman is poor, but he still needs face. In order to avoid being used as an issue by some people in the future, it is better to avoid it.

"How about it, Xiao Cao, you will not and will not be willing to join the Writers Association, will you?" Mr. Jiang asked with a smile.

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and shook his head: "Uncle Jiang, I respect you very much, and I am very grateful for your love for me, but it is better not to do such special things, it is easy to attract people's tongue.

Besides, I didn't have any great achievements. I just wrote a few crooked poems and earned a little money, so I can't be considered a great writer.

In particular, I haven't even graduated from high school, and I'm a bitch, how can I dare to join any writers' association and sit at the same table with you great sages?No way, no way!
Even if you don't care, I'm ashamed myself, so forget about it, thank you for your kindness. "

Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang frowned immediately: "Xiao Cao, don't underestimate yourself. In fact, with your talent and influence, you can join the Writers' Association. After joining the Writers' Association, in the future..."

"Oh!" Cao Zhiqiang suddenly slapped his head, "I'm sorry, I'll go to say hello first when I meet someone I know, take your time, and you can order whatever you want to eat and drink, and it's mine."

After finishing speaking, Cao Zhiqiang called a waiter, told the table to be his, and immediately ran out of the restaurant lobby.

Seeing Cao Zhiqiang running away in a hurry, Mr. Jiang was stunned for a moment, then looked at a middle-aged and elderly man with gray hair next to him, and shook his head with a smile at the same time.

"It seems that he is not interested in going to the University of Hong Kong for exchange or joining the Writers' Association, and he is a bit evasive. Hehe, it's really interesting. When did the Writers' Association become so unpopular."

"You can't say that. In my opinion, the other party has self-knowledge and knows that he doesn't have enough education, so he doesn't want to make a fool of himself. After all, being able to write poetry and giving speeches are two different things."

"That's true, but Lao Feng, the poetry world is going downhill now, it's rare for such a talented newcomer to appear, it would be shameful not to help.

And more importantly, it is rare for Cao Zhiqiang's works to go abroad in a short period of time and have a certain influence in the world.

Do you know, I heard that in Xiangjiang, the name of the poet Qiangzi is already known to everyone, and many people are praising his poems.

So it is a pity that talents like this are not included in the Writers Association. "

"That's only if people are willing to do it. Didn't you see that they are not interested in us at all, let alone the Writers Association.

A twisted melon is not sweet, and people's ambitions are not here, so don't force it. "

Not to mention how the two masters of the Writers Association discussed Cao Zhiqiang there, but also to say that Cao Zhiqiang is really not lying at this time, he is really welcoming a distinguished guest.

As for this distinguished guest, he also came uninvited, and somewhat beyond Cao Zhiqiang's expectations.

"Sister Hao, why are you here?" Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile to a stylishly dressed woman wearing a headscarf and big sunglasses, "And you didn't say anything when you came? What's the point of standing outside?"

Well, this woman wearing a scarf and sunglasses is none other than Hao Shuwen.

Cao Zhiqiang never expected that she would appear here.

After all, Hao Shuwen hadn't appeared for a long time, and Cao Zhiqiang didn't mention the opening of this restaurant to Hao Shuwen.

In the end, Hao Shuwen suddenly appeared, still dressed like this, no wonder Cao Zhiqiang was curious.

"Yo, your eyes are quite poisonous." Hao Shuwen smiled slightly, "I've covered myself so tightly, can you still recognize it?"

Hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang grinned, not knowing how to complain.

Yes, at first glance, Hao Shuwen is wearing a turban and sunglasses, covering herself tightly, and she really can't recognize her as Hao Shuwen for a while.

But the problem is, if Hao Shuwen didn't wear a turban or sunglasses, Cao Zhiqiang would really not be able to recognize her. After all, there are too many people now.

But with a turban, sunglasses, a woolen coat and flared trousers, and a pair of high-heeled black leather shoes, she stands out from the crowd, and it's hard not to attract attention.

If this attracts attention, you will take a second look. If you look a few more times, it will be difficult to recognize Hao Shuwen.

Of course, at first, Cao Zhiqiang did not recognize her, he just thought she was different.

It was because he wanted to avoid the two big bosses of the Writers Association that Cao Zhiqiang ran out on purpose, and when he saw such a woman, he wanted to come over and ask questions, but when he got closer, he realized that it was Hao Shuwen.

"Why don't you talk anymore?" Hao Shuwen rolled her eyes at Cao Zhiqiang, but unfortunately, because she was wearing sunglasses, the effect of her eyes being coquettish was greatly reduced.

"What should I say?" Cao Zhiqiang sighed.

"If you say you are dressed like this, you stand out from the crowd. Can I not care? Then you are Sister Hao. I may not be able to recognize you if you turn into ashes, but if I still can't recognize you because of this outfit, then Is it still me?
No way, who made Sister Hao's aura too strong and unique, it's useless to cover her tightly, I think it's hard not to recognize it. "

"You're the only one who can talk poorly!" Hao Shuwen gave Cao Zhiqiang another look.

"Hey, Sister Hao." Cao Zhiqiang chuckled, "It's not okay to roll your eyes while wearing sunglasses. Besides, it's too flamboyant. Why don't you take off your sunglasses and take a look inside?"

"No." Hao Shuwen shook her head, "There are so many people inside, it's fine for me to take a look outside, I won't go in today, let's talk about it next time."

Cao Zhiqiang saw the excitement in the restaurant, it was indeed overcrowded, including the private rooms, so he didn't say anything more.

You must know that the people who came to support him were either the leaders of the machinery factory that Cao Zhiqiang was familiar with, or their relatives and friends, and of course He Yuzhu's relatives, friends and leaders.

With so many people coming to cheer, no matter how big the restaurant is, it's useless, not to mention that the Shiweitian restaurant itself is not particularly big, it's just a remodeled courtyard.

In order to have more seats, even the inner courtyard is filled with tables. Just here, there are still many people who have no seats, so they can only go in to say hello.

As for outsider diners, there are not many, but not many.

In other words, on the first day of opening, most of the guests inside were acquaintances.

Just these acquaintances already filled the entire restaurant, let alone ordinary diners.

It is also because of the support of acquaintances, so there are waves, and there is rarely a single guest inside.

In this case, it's really inconvenient for Hao Shuwen to be a woman.

"It's quite lively." Hao Shuwen looked at the bustling scene inside, "Unexpectedly, after only a few days of seeing each other, you actually made a big career, not only became the president of the publishing house, but also opened your own restaurant? "

"Hey Sister Hao, you're killing me." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "I'm just a small business, what's the deal.

Besides, it’s not like I haven’t seen you for a few days. It’s been almost a month, and I haven’t seen you. I wondered where you went, did you forget about my brother? Are you dating your younger brother? "

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Hao Shuwen patted Cao Zhiqiang's arm lightly, "How could I forget you, me, I just came back from a long trip recently."

"I guess so." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Did you go out to play? Where did you go? Was it fun? Take your brother to see and see some other day?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Hao Shuwen patted Cao Zhiqiang's shoulder again, "I, I..."

"What's wrong with you?" Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile.

Hao Shuwen looked around and said in a low voice, "This is not a place to talk. I, you, can you find a quiet place with me? I, I just want to talk to you."

Speaking of this, Hao Shuwen lowered her head, her tone seemed a little lonely, and she was out of tune with the lively atmosphere of the scene.

Seeing her current state, Cao Zhiqiang frowned.

But soon, Cao Zhiqiang said firmly: "I understand, sister, you wait for me here for a while, I will make arrangements and come to you."

"Ah, no, no need." Hao Shuwen said suddenly, "You can do your work, I, I just came to see, wait for you, when you are free, it's not too late to find me."

Seeing Hao Shuwen's appearance, Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "It's okay, you've seen it too, it's very popular here, so I don't need to be there.

Besides, I am a partnership business, and I have a boss.

Sister, don't worry, I'll go talk to my partner and ask him to look after it for me, come and go as you go.

You just wait here, and you are not allowed to go anywhere, or you will deny my brother! "

After finishing speaking, Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded at Hao Shuwen, and then left quickly.

After that, Cao Zhiqiang found Cao Jiajia who was helping to settle the accounts at the front desk, and said that he had to go out for something, and asked her to help keep an eye on it, and told He Yuzhu in the back kitchen.

Yes, the current front desk manager of this hotel is Cao Jiajia.

In fact, at the beginning, Cao Zhiqiang didn't think about letting Cao Jiajia come here as the manager, or the current account manager, but wanted Cao Jiajia to work as a nurse in the factory-run hospital of the machinery factory.

But Cao Jiajia doesn't want to be a nurse to serve others, because the work is too tiring and the status is too low.

Yes, these days, nurses and doctors are completely different worlds, and nurses are still a profession that is not looked down upon.

Just in time, Cao Jiajia heard that Cao Zhiqiang was going to open a restaurant, and went to see the size of the restaurant, and found that the place was not small, the decoration was good, and the most important thing was that there was air conditioning, so she wanted to come here all the time.

Since Cao Jiajia is willing to work as the manager of the restaurant, Cao Zhiqiang naturally has no objection.

Anyway, being a restaurant manager means doing calculations, managing waiters, and dealing with some front desk issues. Most people can do it, and Cao Jiajia can certainly do it.

And let's do this job, the job is easy, the income is high, and the degree of freedom is also high, so it will not delay Cao Jiajia's going home to take care of the children.

At the same time, Cao Jiajia, as Cao Zhiqiang's biological sister, came here as a manager and no one said anything.

Although it's a bit cronyistic, it's a normal phenomenon in a self-employed restaurant like this.

Besides, with Cao Jiajia watching, He Yuzhu wouldn't be too ugly.

To be honest, cooperating with He Yuzhu is just a kind of return from Cao Zhiqiang to him, and he wants to continue to use him, and then through him, to cooperate with Lou Xiaoe in the future, it is not that Cao Zhiqiang really likes to cooperate with He Yuzhu.

You must know that a person like He Yuzhu has too strong a personality and is too self-righteous. He is definitely not a good business partner.

But, He Yuzhu is lucky, he knows the big leader, and Lou Xiaoe, these are the relationships that Cao Zhiqiang wants to use.

Now, the relationship with the big leaders has been established, and Lou Xiaoe's line has also been established, but because of this, He Yuzhu cannot be considered useless and kicked.

After all, whether it is a big leader or Lou Xiaoe, they all have eyes.

If Cao Zhiqiang crossed the river and demolished the bridge at this time and kicked He Yuzhu, the loss would be great.

Lou Xiao'e came second, and the key was the big leader, Uncle Xu.

If Uncle Xu thinks that he is an impersonal person who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges, and refuses to help him, it will be a big loss.

So, even though Cao Zhiqiang doesn't like He Yuzhu from the bottom of his heart, he still needs to cooperate, and he must give back the dry shares that should be given.

Of course, the so-called cooperation with He Yuzhu is only this restaurant.

What Cao Zhiqiang really wants to do is to franchise a fast food restaurant, but he never planned to cooperate with He Yuzhu, nor did he intend to let his eldest sister Cao Jiajia intervene, but planned to do it alone.

"Okay sister." Cao Zhiqiang ran to Hao Shuwen after explaining clearly, "I have explained everything clearly, we can go now, by the way, how did you come here? Did you drive here by yourself?"

"No." Hao Shuwen shook her head, "I played three rounds."

"Ah." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "In that case, let's play three rounds together, and then I will choose the place, okay?"

"This..." Hao Shuwen hesitated, "No, brother, you really don't need to do this, I, I really just came here to take a look, I didn't want you to..."

"Stop it!" Cao Zhiqiang smiled and waved his hands.

"To be honest, sister, I don't like this kind of lively scene, I wanted to leave a long time ago, and you just came, so I have an excuse to slip away.

Okay, this is not a good place.

I haven't seen you for so long, let's find a clean place and have a good chat with the siblings! "
