Get something in the courtyard

Chapter 1615 Restaurant Opening

A fake pregnancy certificate brought down the arrogance of Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu. The two were busy eliminating their influence in the hospital and behaved themselves for a while.

During this period of time, Wang Kun's restaurant has been renovated and is ready to open.

The hotel's management was brought in by Lou Xiao'e from Hong Kong. Wang Kun personally checked it out and fired half of the staff. Those people were indeed competent, but they acted condescending all day, which annoyed him a lot.

Those people went to Lou Xiao'e to complain, and the result was naturally self-evident: they were fired by Lou Xiao'e.

The remaining few people were frightened by Wang Kun's move. They didn't want to lose their jobs, so they obeyed him obediently.

The waiters in the restaurant are young men and women, both from the city and the countryside, and he treats them all equally.

Because of the problem of accommodation for those rural employees, Wang Kun bought a few more houses nearby to serve as dormitories for them. Sha Zhu also suggested that the houses in the quadrangle courtyard were vacant and they could live there, but Wang Kun and his men ridiculed him.

Those people in Siheyuan were able to deceive good people. Wang Kun didn't want to have too many such people in his company.

On her side, Lou Xiao'e relied on her connections in Hong Kong to raise the banner and obtain preferential policies for foreign investment.

When the hotel opened, there was a team there negotiating with the government about investment. Wang Kun hid behind the scenes and directed the negotiation team remotely.

Everything is developing in a good direction.

However, the cancer of the courtyard house broke out again when they were happy.

Sha Zhu quit his job at the steel mill and came to Hongfenglou with Ma Hua and a few others to work as chefs. This news was eventually known to the people in the courtyard.

The group of people became excited and ran to Hongfeng Building to find Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu didn't see them at first, so Yi Zhonghai and his men blocked them outside the hotel. Wang Kun had seen them long ago and sent the hotel's security guards over. If they dared to cause trouble, the security guards would call the police immediately.

The police here are Wang Kun’s colleagues and they will come here immediately after receiving the alarm.

Yi Zhonghai and his people were also tactful and did not dare to make a noise in such a high-end place. Instead, they sat outside.

Yan Bugui turned his head to look at the restaurant from time to time, secretly encouraging Yi Zhonghai: "I didn't expect that Sha Zhu would become successful and find a place like this to be a chef. The clothes worn by those waiters are worth a lot of money.

He has become very rich. I will ask him to treat everyone in our courtyard to a nice meal later."

Liu Haizhong was filled with jealousy and said with dissatisfaction: "Why don't you be a good worker and come here to be a slave to the capitalists? Isn't it shameful?"

Qin Huairu felt as bitter as if she had eaten bitter herbs. If she had thought that Sha Zhu would have such a day, she should not have hesitated and married him directly.

As long as she marries Shazhu, all the money Shazhu earns in this restaurant will be hers. She can also let Shazhu bring Banggeng to work here. Banggeng works with those pretty girls, and with Banggeng's conditions, he can just pick any one.

"Uncle, you need to have a good talk with Shazhu and ask him to bring Banggeng to work here. You said Shazhu is the same. He can bring Ma Hua and Liu Lan to such a good place to work, so why can't he bring Banggeng?"

All the pressure was put on Yi Zhonghai, making Yi Zhonghai feel even worse.

It was a good thing that Sha Zhu became rich, but this prosperity had nothing to do with him. He would rather Sha Zhu not become rich and continue to be the offending cook in the steel mill.

Yi Zhonghai sat there with a dark face, not saying a word.

The other three people kept talking about their own things, and finally formed an alliance to deal with Sha Zhu together. They knew very well that it was impossible to succeed against Sha Zhu alone. They had to unite and use moral kidnapping to control Sha Zhu. The three uncles could only deal with Sha Zhu by uniting, and this was not just a joke, it had been tested by history.

The four people sat at the door from the afternoon until seven in the evening without drinking a sip of water, and no one paid any attention to them.

There were only five or six security guards sitting not far away, staring at them without blinking.

It was seven o'clock in the evening, when the restaurant was doing its busiest business. The aroma wafting out made a few people who hadn't eaten yet very hungry.

Liu Haizhong stood up angrily and said, "This is outrageous. We came to see Sha Zhu with good intentions, but he actually left us out. Even if he is very busy, he should have invited us in for a drink."

Yan Bugui also stood up and said tentatively: "How about we go in and wait? We can say we are looking for Sha Zhu. Even if Sha Zhu doesn't come, he should at least bring us some food and drinks."

Qin Huairu's stomach growled and she said, "Uncle One, I think Uncle Two and Uncle Three are right. Let's wait outside. How long do we have to wait? You three uncles are old, you can't skip dinner.

Besides, my mother-in-law and Bang Geng are waiting for me to come back home to cook.”

Yi Zhonghai's patience had already run out. Seeing that the three people said so, he did not intend to refuse, but said: "You can go find Sha Zhu. But we have to make it clear first that you can't go against me this time, you must listen to my arrangements. If we don't unite, nothing can be accomplished."

He said these words mainly to Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui because he was worried that they would stab him in the back.

The conversation between several people was heard clearly by the security guard, and one of them trotted to the hotel to report.

Wang Kun thought about it and called Liu Lan in: "Yi Zhonghai and others will come in later, you go and receive them, don't let them cause trouble in the hotel."

Liu Lan patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, I'm good at dealing with them. I will definitely drive them away."

Now that her status is different, Liu Lan sees Wang Kun as being very honest. Working in a restaurant is much better than working in a steel mill, and she is reluctant to give up this job.

The restaurant had just opened not long ago, and now was the time to attract customers, so Wang Kun couldn't stop a few people from entering the door. These people were best at moral kidnapping, and people who didn't know the truth were easily fooled.

Yi Zhonghai and his men came in, and Liu Lan greeted them: "Oh, Qin Huairu, you are willing to treat the three uncles in your courtyard to a meal. I will definitely ask the kitchen to serve you a few good dishes."

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes and said quickly: "Liu Lan, you misunderstood, we are here to find Sha Zhu."

Liu Lan pretended not to understand and said, "I know. Six out of ten people who come here to eat are here for Sha Zhu's cooking skills. Don't worry, after you order the dishes and pay, I will go to the kitchen and tell Sha Zhu to make them especially for you.

We were colleagues before, and colleagues don’t lie to colleagues.”

Qin Huairu was very unhappy when she heard about paying. She was unwilling to let Liu Lan continue. If Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui took it seriously, it would be troublesome.

"Liu Lan, don't talk nonsense. We don't want to pay."

Liu Lan looked at Qin Huairu in surprise: "Qin Huairu, you have to understand, this is a restaurant. Not a steel mill. Even if it is a steel mill, you have to pay for meals. If you don't want to pay, why come to the restaurant?"

She wanted to let people know on purpose, so her voice was neither loud nor soft.

People passing by looked over here with contempt in their eyes.

Some people even pointed at them and said, "This is the first time in my life that I have seen an old lady and three old men eating for free in a restaurant."
