Forty has a hurdle

Chapter 227 A New Beginning
Zhao Hongming's injury could not heal in a day or two. Zhao Huan returned to school after two days of infusion.

Qin Yali couldn't stay with her in the hospital all the time. In the end, Zhao Yuancheng took over the matter.

Initially, Zhao Yuancheng planned to take care of his son in the hospital, but Zhao Hongming and his wife felt that their father was old and in poor health, and they were afraid that he would be tired, so they did not agree.

Now he goes to school and goes to class, and no one is here to take care of Zhao Hongming.

Qin Aiguo also offered to take care of Zhao Hongming, but Qin Yuan's house was also sold, and Qin Yali had Zhao Yuancheng and his wife living in Qin Yali's house, which was really inconvenient.

Therefore, his proposal was also rejected, and in the end it was Zhao Yuancheng who could only take the lead. Qin Yali would usually help when she was off work.

"Oh, Brother Zhao, such a big thing happened, and you didn't even tell me. I had to watch a short video to find out that something happened to you!"

On the third day that Zhao Hongming was hospitalized, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Jiang Xiaowei and Wei Xingguang walked in, one carrying a fruit basket and the other holding flowers.

Just after entering the door, Jiang Xiaowei complained.

"Hey, it's not a good thing, what are you guys doing?"

Seeing Jiang Xiaowei and Wei Xingguang, Zhao Hongming was very happy.

"Old Zhao, you're wrong! Brothers, no matter what good or bad things you say, everyone should do something about it!"

Wei Xingguang answered.

"It's enough for you people to come. Why do you bring things with you?"

Zhao Hongming smiled and said again.

"Haha, it depends on the patient. How can anyone come to the hospital empty-handed?"

Jiang Xiaowei curled his lips and said.

The two chatted with Zhao Hongming in the ward for a while, and saw that Zhao Hongming was a little tired, so they said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, Jiang Xiaowei took out a wad of money.

"Brother Zhao, several brothers and sisters in our concierge department put this together. It's not much money. You can accept it for 5000 yuan."

Before Zhao Hongming could refuse, Jiang Xiaowei and Wei Xingguang opened the door and ran away.

"Hongming, your colleagues are pretty good!"

Zhao Yuancheng stayed with him in the ward and praised Jiang Xiaowei after they left.

"Ha ha."

Zhao Hongming just giggled when he heard this.

This shows that the year he spent in the hotel really left an indelible impression on everyone's hearts.

This is how we ended up with colleagues now coming to visit.

When Jiang Xiaowei and the others had left for less than half an hour, the door of the ward was pushed open again.

An unexpected person appeared at the door of the ward.

"Director Xia Xia? Why are you here?"

Zhao Hongming asked in surprise.

The visitor was Xia Yang, the concierge of Ziyi Hotel.

"Haha, Lao Zhao, why can't I come?"

Xia Yang looked at the surprised Zhao Hongming and smiled.

"No, no, just."

"You didn't expect me to come, did you?"

"Ha ha."

Facing Xia Yang's straightforward question, Zhao Hongming could only respond with two dry laughs.

"Lin Feng will be fired soon."

Xia Yang suddenly said something.

"what?"

Zhao Hongming was confused by Xia Yang's jumping way of speaking.

At the same time, I was shocked by the news.

Doesn’t Lin Feng have Wenshan’s background?how come?
"Since you left, the atmosphere in the concierge department has actually not been good, and Lin Feng has played a very bad role in this."

Xia Yang said it directly without any ambiguity.

"Not long ago, he drove a guest's car without permission and damaged the guest's car. What's damning is that he refused to admit it." Xia Yang gritted his teeth.

"This matter made a big fuss. Wenshan originally wanted to suppress it, but the customer complained directly to the headquarters. Wenshan had no choice but to prepare to fire Lin Feng."

"Furthermore, because he stole the customer's car and caused damage, Lin Feng had to bear the cost of repairing the customer's car."

"What do you mean?"

Hearing the news, Zhao Hongming couldn't help but feel a little happy.

He immediately wondered why Xia Yang told him this.

"Oh, I'm ready to leave Ziyi."

Xia Yang said something again that shocked Zhao Hongming.
"Haha, to tell you the truth, my family is a hotel business. I came to Ziyi just to find a place where no one knows me and practice some of my ideas. Now, my ideas are basically completed in Ziyi It’s almost done, it’s time to leave.”

"Oh."

Zhao Hongming was already a little numb.

However, after thinking about some previous rumors about Xia Yang, I felt relieved immediately.

"Then are you planning to go back and take over a hotel?" Zhao Hongming asked tentatively.

"Well, my family has opened a new hotel in the provincial capital, and I'm going to let me do it. How about it? Are you interested in going with me?"

Xia Yang asked with a smile.

"Ah I?"

"No, I no longer work in the hotel. Well, that's not right. How can I go there if I'm like this?"

Zhao Hongming said a little at a loss.

Zhao Hongming was stunned by Xia Yang's invitation.

"I didn't tell you to go right away. I guess I won't leave Ziyi until next month, and then my hotel will have to wait a few more months to open."

Xia Yang smiled.

"By the way, if you come with me, the position of concierge manager in my hotel will be yours, and the salary will be guaranteed to your satisfaction."

Xia Yang continued.

"Me, Director Xia, no, Mr. Xia, you, what do you like about me?"

Zhao Hongming asked somewhat stutteringly.

“Devotion and dedication to the job, yes, that’s dedication.”

Xia Yang took a serious look at Zhao Hongming.

Although he and Zhao Hongming have not known each other for a long time, Zhao Hongming's sense of responsibility for his position and identification with the hotel are what he admires most.

The reason why he paid this visit today was also after careful consideration.

His hotel is about to open, and he really needs someone like Zhao Hongming who can really love his work.

"You don't have to promise me now, think about it carefully, you know my phone number, call me when you think about it."

As he said this, Xia Yang took out an envelope and placed it on Zhao Hongming's bedside table, then said goodbye and left.

Zhao Hongming asked his father to open the envelope, which contained 1000 yuan.

"Hongming, is this your leader? He looks quite young! And what does a supervisor mean? He said"

Although Zhao Yuancheng had been sitting in the ward listening to the conversation between his son and Xia Yang, there were some things he was still unclear about, and he immediately started asking questions.

But Zhao Hongming was filled with thoughts of Xia Yang's invitation before leaving.

Supervisor!

As far as he knew, when Wenshan was the manager of Ziyi Hotel, his monthly salary was basically more than 7000. Adding in the hotel's monthly and quarterly bonuses, on average, the monthly salary was basically less than [-]. .

Thinking about Xia Yang's hotel in the provincial capital, the salary of a concierge director should not be less than that of Wenshan.

After thinking wildly for a while, Zhao Hongming fell asleep again in a daze.

Seeing his son closing his eyes, Zhao Yuancheng stopped talking.

This time I slept straight into the night.

When she woke up, not only Qin Yali was in the ward, but Zhao Huan was also there.

"Huanhuan, if you don't do your homework well at home, why are you here?"

Zhao Hongming couldn't help but frown. "Oh, my dear dad, it's the weekend tomorrow and you don't have to go to school, so I'll stay with you for a while!"

Zhao Huan stuck out his tongue playfully.

"Ah? Really? I've been lying in bed all day, and I don't even know what time it is."

Zhao Hongming couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, you're not going to work anyway, so just lie down. I can't lie down even if I want to!"

Zhao Huan curled his lips.

Seeing the father and son making jokes, Qin Yali also covered her mouth and chuckled.

Ever since Zhao Hongming's accident, Zhao Huan seemed to have changed. He had returned to the person who loved to act coquettishly and cutely in front of his parents. After coming home from school every day, he would always talk and laugh with Qin Yali.

After studying in the evening, I have to study at home until the early morning or even later.

Several times, Qin Yali couldn't help persuading him to go to bed early, but Zhao Huan just evaded it with various reasons.

In terms of school work, apart from basic teaching tasks, principal Yu Zheng did not arrange any other work for her, just to allow Qin Yali to take care of her family with peace of mind.

It is worth mentioning that the child Yang Borui seems to have grown up in an instant just like Zhao Huan. Not only has there been earth-shaking changes in discipline, but he also works hard in his studies, which makes Qin Yali very happy.

So these days, although her husband is lying on the hospital bed, Qin Yali's mood is unprecedentedly relaxed.

"Let me tell you something!"

After eating something simple, Zhao Hongming told his wife and children what happened when Xia Yang came today.

"Supervisor? Isn't that the middle level of the hotel? What a good thing!"

"Provincial capital? It's too far!"

Zhao Huan and Qin Yali had different reactions after listening to it.

"Old Zhao, what do you think?"

After pondering for a while, Qin Yali still wanted to hear her husband's thoughts.

"I haven't made up my mind yet."

Zhao Hongming was also a little embarrassed. As his wife said, the provincial capital was a bit far away from Jiangcheng. This round trip basically took five or six hours to sit in the supervisor's position, and he had very little rest time.

This means that Zhao Hongming may have to return to the same state as when he was in Qingyuan. He is not guaranteed to go home once a week, no, even once a week.

Career and family once again cannot be taken into consideration.

Now Zhao Huan is about to take the high school entrance examination, and he doesn't know what school he can get into. His wife Qin Yali is also taking medication for depression.

Zhao Hongming was worried that if he was not in Jiangcheng, if something happened to his family again, he would not be able to come back in time.

As for whether to go to the provincial capital to work, we just couldn't discuss it.

People say that the college entrance examination is the biggest turning point in life.

July used to be called "Black July" every year.

The same is true for the high school entrance examination, with a diversion rate of nearly 50%, leaving countless children facing two different lives at this stage.

The days slowly entered June.

There are only ten days left before Zhao Huan's high school entrance examination.

Zhao Hongming was also discharged from the hospital. Although the fracture in his arm was not completely healed, the wound on his leg had almost recovered.

Looking at Zhao Huan's busy study life every day, Qin Yali and Zhao Hongming were actually very nervous.

Since this semester, Zhao Huan's grades have basically been stable at the top dozen in the class. This grade makes Qin Yali a little unsure.

She had little hope of applying to Hanzhou No. [-] Middle School, but she still wanted her children to try. If that didn't work, she would have to consider other schools in Hanzhou.

Every day when Zhao Huan comes home from his self-study in the evening, he is greeted with a sumptuous midnight snack, including milk, fruits, etc.

"Jingle Bell!"

In the evening, when Zhao Hongming was reading a book about cooking with great interest, the phone rang.

"Hey, Qin Yuan, it's so late, what can I do?"

The caller was Qin Yuan.

"Brother-in-law, great news! When I was in Lanzhou, didn't I catch one of the people who defrauded me of money? Just now, the police called and said that several other people were also caught."

"Really? That's great!"

After hearing the news, Zhao Hongming was also happy for Qin Yuan.

"What's even better is that the police said that there is hope that we can recover the money we were defrauded from!"

Qin Yuan said excitedly on the phone.

"Brother-in-law, I have thought about it. If not all my money is recovered, but only part of it is recovered, the two of us will open a restaurant together!"

"I'm responsible for paying, and you're responsible for cooking. With your skills, the restaurant's business will definitely be booming."

Qin Yuan chatted on the phone about his wonderful vision for the future.

Zhao Hongming also became interested and discussed with Qin Yuan
Jiangcheng City's tourism industry has regained its vitality with the end of the epidemic.

Many supporting service industries have regained their vitality.

The catering industry is undoubtedly one of the best.

"Clap clap clap clap!"

In front of a store facing the street, there were lights and banners hanging. It was obvious that a new store was about to open.

"Come, come, come inside, our store is open today, all dishes are [-]% off!"

Zhao Huan stood in front of the store and shouted hard.

From time to time, he would run far away and put the leaflets in his hands into the hands of people passing by.

It was already September, and because his father's restaurant was opening, he rushed back from school in Hanzhou to attend his father's opening ceremony.

In this year's high school entrance examination, although he had tried his best, he was still a few points away from the admission line of Hanzhou No. [-] Middle School, so he could only apply to another key high school ranked second in Hanzhou.

To his great surprise, Li Zhilei also enrolled in the same high school as her.

This means that in the next three years, the two good friends can continue to study and live together.

At this time, there were already two or three tables of customers in the restaurant waiting for their dishes to be served.

The [-]% discount is quite attractive to some people.

In the back kitchen, Zhao Hongming was wearing work clothes and skillfully frying vegetables.

After some ideological struggle, he finally gave up the idea of ​​going to the provincial capital with Xia Yang and chose to open a store in partnership with Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan recovered most of his money, and the money he owed has basically been paid off. The 20 yuan that Zhao Hongming helped loan has also been paid off.

Qin Yuan invested all the remaining money in this store.

He himself continued to stay in the provincial capital and work hard, leaving all matters in the store to Zhao Hongming.

On the first day of business, business was very booming. Zhao Hongming was busy until nine o'clock in the evening before he could sit down and take a rest.

"Come, come, let's eat!"

Zhao Hongming brought the last dish to the table.

At this time, the Qin family and the old Zhao family were all sitting around a big table.

"Ahem, let me say a few words!"

Zhao Hongming deliberately coughed on the two of them, interrupting everyone's conversation.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at him.

“In the past few years, our family has experienced so much, and we have basically experienced the ups and downs, but even though life is hard, we can still smile at it.

We humans in this world, as long as we don’t close our eyes, no one knows what kind of miracles will happen in the future.

Today, Qin Yuan and I opened our store. This is a new starting point in my life and the beginning of new hope.

As long as there is hope, no matter how hard we suffer, it is worth it.

Come on, do it! "

Zhao Hongming raised his wine glass, looked around at the family around him, and said affectionately.

After saying that, he raised his head and drank the wine in his hand.

"Good! Cheers!"

Everyone smiled and toasted.
