The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 475
When the time came to May, Lao Tan was quietly cultivating in the mountains, without waves or waves.

Life outside the mountain continued as usual.Zhou Xiaomei proceeded step by step according to Lao Tan's plan. The five major districts acted at the same time to comprehensively improve the quality of dishes and services, pay close attention to management, and improve operations. Results were achieved in early three months, and the overall benefits were comprehensively improved.

After the Chinese New Year, Lao Tan has not shown up. At first, no one felt it, and no one said anything when no one felt it. It was calm.

When someone discovered the anomaly in early April, discussions began.

The discussion started in middle management circles.

Everyone in the senior management circle knew that Lao Tan had cancer and was recuperating.They don't talk about it, but they are concerned and worried, hoping that Lao Tan will recover from his illness soon.

These people were brought out by Lao Tan himself, some were his apprentices, some were his brothers, they naturally actively cooperated with Zhou Xiaomei when Lao Tan was recovering from illness, and they took the initiative to work better than what Lao Tan did when he was there.

What the high-level people know, the middle-level people can also know. The middle-level people are brought out by the high-level people, and they are their right-hand men. Besides, it is difficult for people to keep secrets.

The fact that the top management doesn't talk about it doesn't mean that the middle management doesn't talk about it either. It's not that they don't respect Lao Tan, but that they don't have the same relationship with Lao Tan as the top management, which is unavoidable.

In discussions, there are good and bad ones.The good thing is that Lao Tan has early gastric cancer, nothing serious, he will definitely recover if he takes good care of him, and he will still be the executive director at that time, leading everyone to move forward.

The bad thing is that Lao Tan must be very serious. I heard that he vomited blood during chemotherapy, and now he is treated conservatively.How long it can live is not certain, and it is raised at home.

As soon as they talk about employees, they naturally know that employees who are relatives feel pain, and those who are not relatives should listen to the news.

The so-called unacquainted are the new employees in the past two years. Most of them have never met Lao Tan. They only know that there is such a director.Now that I have cancer is just news, and I forget what I should do after two days.

It is the old employees who can feel the pain, especially those who have been taken care of by Lao Tan. They are very sad, worried, and worried.

For example, Xiaohui and Xiaolong didn't believe it was true at first, and they almost got into a fight with the person who said it.She didn't believe it until Yanhua told them herself.

Xiaohui has always treated Lao Tan as her father. It can be said that without Lao Tan, she would not be where she is now.

It was Lao Tan who spent all the money on his body without hesitation when she and her mother were begging on the street without anyone else, and the life of the mother and daughter had a turning point.

When Xiaohui's mother was ill, Lao Tan took the lead in donating money without hesitation, so that Xiaohui had money to treat her mother. Although her mother eventually left, she was grateful to Lao Tan.

Lao Tan took care of his mother's funeral. After taking care of his mother's funeral, he worried about his own marriage until he had a small family and a child.Sometimes she thinks that even if her biological father is alive, she may not be able to do this, she is too lucky.

Old Tan was ill, and she wanted to serve her like a daughter, so she didn't care about it for a few days, otherwise she felt bad and her conscience couldn't bear it.

Yanhua said no, Lao Tan's condition has stabilized and is in very good condition, otherwise she wouldn't be so safe and would have left early.Xiaohui hugged Yanhua and cried, feeling extremely sad.

Also sad with her is Yingzi.

Yingzi didn't know Lao Tan's situation through other people's comments, Wang Hong told her directly.

She asked Wang Hong, "Is my brother's illness serious?"

Wang Hong said frankly: "I can't say for sure, but it is certain in the early stage, and it has been controlled."

Yingzi asked again: "Is my brother in the hospital or at home?"

Wang Hong said: "I'm not there, I went to the mountains alone, and said that there is a place to recuperate."

Yingzi didn't speak for a long time, tears soon wet the mask.

Wang Hong persuaded: "Don't worry, he's fine——"

Yingzi stopped her tears and said, "My brother is sure to be fine. He is very lucky—he is a good man—I will burn incense for him when I go home——"

After Gu Yi and Sister Wang returned to Suzhou, Sister Wang went to the courtyard one night and told Yaru, Li Shuang and Xiao Gao about Lao Tan's situation in Yaru's hut.

Li Shuang couldn't believe it was true, and said, "Impossible, how could my master have cancer?" Then he asked, "Sister Wang, where is my master, I'm going to see him."

Sister Wang said, "Your brother Gu and I just came back from him—"

She told about Lao Tan's recent situation in detail, and the three of them believed it.

No one spoke in the hut for a while, and the atmosphere was a little depressed.

After a while, Yaru spoke. She first called Miss Wang, then turned her gaze to Li Shuang and Xiao Gao, and said, "You three go back first, I feel bad and want to be alone for a while."

Li Shuang and Xiao Gao also felt uncomfortable. Although Sister Wang said nothing was wrong, she didn't see it with her own eyes, so it was difficult to rest assured.

Sad people don't want to stay with sad people, that's even more sad.

Li Shuang and Xiao Gao came back, Sister Wang wanted to comfort Yaru a few words, but couldn't find any words of comfort for a while, so she stepped forward to hug Yaru, turned and left.

Yaru was left alone in the room, she went to bed quietly, put her head on the pillow, pulled the quilt and hugged her in her arms, covered her face and cried silently——
She missed Lao Tan very much, more than ever.

She murmured in her heart: Old Tan, don't have anything to do with you, don't—I miss you so much—

Xiaofeng's illness was completely cured. After learning about Lao Tan's situation, she talked to Zhou Xiaomei. Zhou Xiaomei transferred her back to Changsha as an operation supervisor.This is what she requested. She is familiar with the Changsha market, she is quick at work, and she can also guide Liu Yang.

After all, Liu Yang is young and has little experience. It is a bit difficult to be a regional manager. Zhou Xiaomei is worried about this.The four stores in Changsha are all directly-operated stores, which are as important as the provincial capital and require an experienced old man to sit in charge.

Of course, there are also reasons for Hao Nansheng.

Hao Nansheng didn't want to ask Xiaofeng to continue working, but when Xiaofeng told about Lao Tan's situation, he expressed his support and wanted to find experts to treat Lao Tan's illness.

Xiaofeng stopped him and told him that Lao Tan's condition is very good now, don't disturb him now, and it's not too late to look for him if something bad happens.

In this way, Xiaofeng sits in Changsha and cooperates with Liu Yang and Qin Haitsun, so the situation is very stable.

Let's still remember Baolitu, after he found out about Lao Tan's situation, he approached his sister Su Yaqiqige and said that he would take care of Lao Tan.

Su Ya said: "What can you take care of, go to work honestly, and do your job well."

Bao Litu said: "I want to go, otherwise I will be troubled, and I will not be able to go to work."

"It's not enough for you to make trouble."

"I won't make trouble."

"Then you are not allowed to go, just work hard in the store."

"---"

Su Ya thought her younger brother was just talking, but she didn't know that her younger brother didn't go to work the next day, so she packed her bags and went to Daqingshan.

Although Bao Litu is a reckless man with a stubborn mind, he has a clean heart and knows who is kind to him, and he will repay him with actions.

He didn't hire a car to take him into the mountain, the reason is very simple, no taxi driver is willing to pull him.

The reckless man lost his temper, packed his bags and walked on foot, striding away.

Fortunately, after entering the mountain, he met a kind-hearted pilgrim who went to offer incense, and took him to the place of Qingxiu.

Lao Tan was very surprised when he saw Bao Litu, and never expected him to come.When Bao Litu explained his intention of coming, Old Tan was very moved, so he didn't ask him to go back immediately, but stayed.
