Era: Life's Big Winner

Chapter 115 You Fengxia: The Boss’s Rare Visitor

Had breakfast.

Liu Hongchang did not go to the food factory, but went to a private restaurant.

There is basically no business here in the morning, mainly at noon and in the evening.

As soon as I arrived in the yard, I saw You Fengxia holding a morning meeting for employees.

Liu Hongchang didn't go over to join in the fun. He took a few glances and planned to go to the kitchen to take a look. He Wenyuan had just come to work lazily.

She works as a financial officer here and obviously comes to work on time, so she doesn't have much work to do on weekdays.

Being able to go to and from get off work on time means he is relatively law-abiding and doesn't take advantage of his status to get any special treatment.

The two came to the office, and Liu Hongchang sat down and asked with concern: "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Well, I chatted with my mom and sister until midnight and couldn't fall asleep." He Wenyuan put his bag aside, leaned on the desk, and answered weakly.

Liu Hongchang asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"

"We talked about everything, but now let me tell you, I don't remember what we talked about." He Wenyuan said with a smile.

Yawning, she asked again, "Are you done with the factory?"

"There is always something to do in the factory. There is no such thing as being busy all the time. I just took some time to come and take a look." Liu Hongchang shook his head.

He Wenyuan said "oh" and asked, "Are you coming back to our place tonight?"

Liu Hongchang: "No, I have an appointment tonight."

"You are such a busy man, leaving us alone in an empty room." He Wenyuan said resentfully.

Liu Hongchang said with a smile: "Stop talking nonsense. Didn't I feed you enough the past few days?"

"The few days ago were just the few days ago. It's not a good idea to be lazy and reckless about this matter!" He Wenyuan said with a smile.

The two chatted for a while. After the meeting, You Fengxia came to the office with a slender waist and said with a smile: "Boss, it's a rare guest..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Hongchang waved his hand and said, "Go and see if the Nan Yi meeting has finished. If it has, call me over."

"Boss, you are so cruel. You talk about work as soon as you come here." You Fengxia said resentfully.

He Wenyuan curled his lips and said, "Sister Fengxia, you are so hot!"

You Fengxia choked, rolled her eyes at her, and turned to leave.

"Is this woman doing anything stupid?" Liu Hongchang asked with a smile.

He Wenyuan shook his head and said, "She may seem flirtatious at work, but she knows when to advance and when to retreat. I don't know how she behaves after get off work."

"But she is really capable at work and manages the restaurant in an orderly manner. There are many aspects that are worth learning from her."

As he said this, he stood up and made a cup of tea for Liu Hongchang.

After a few words, You Fengxia came back and said, "Two apprentices secretly took the vegetables home yesterday, and Master Nan is furious now!"

"Are there many such things?" Liu Hongchang asked.

You Fengxia took a stool and sat aside, and replied: "The leftovers were distributed among the employees according to the old rules, but those two guys stole the mutton and vegetables yesterday."

He Wenyuan sighed and said, "People are greedy, and the leftovers are not enough for them to eat? They even learned to steal vegetables."

"Boss, how do you think we should deal with this?" You Fengxia asked.

Liu Hongchang smiled and said, "Wait for Nan Yi to come over and see how he handles it!"

"That's fine. Chef Nan is quite strict in managing the kitchen." You Fengxia nodded in response.

After a while, Nan Yi came over to report the situation: "Let the two guys pay ten times the fine and fire them immediately."

"Isn't it too cruel? Not giving them a chance to reform?" He Wenyuan asked in surprise.

Nan Yi glanced at Liu Hongchang and said thoughtfully, "This is not a school. Minor mistakes can be forgiven, but such principled mistakes cannot be tolerated. I have shown him mercy by not sending him to see the official." You Fengxia agreed, "That's how it should be. There is no order without rules. Now that there are so many employees, if one follows another, wouldn't it be a mess?"

"Okay, let's do it." Liu Hongchang said with finality.

Nan Yi was right. If it was just some minor mistakes, the worst that could happen was that he would be punished by sweeping the floor for a month or two and then returning to the kitchen. But this kind of stealing could not be tolerated.

You have to know that the restaurant's leftovers are distributed among the employees to take home, which is enough for the whole family to have a good meal. The key is that there are leftovers every day, which means they can have a good meal every day.

With such good conditions, if someone is still not satisfied and is greedy, Liu Hongchang is not a philanthropist, so he will be punished if necessary, and in serious cases he will be sent to prison.

In fact, it is not just the restaurants that are dealing with corruption, but also the food factories and companies in Hong Kong Island that are very strict with corruption, and some people are sent to prison every year.

It is impossible to completely prevent this kind of thing. We can only make an example of it as a warning to the rest and then rely on institutional supervision.

Then, Liu Hongchang took the opportunity to ask You Fengxia and Nan Yi about the operation of the restaurant during his absence.

Today's restaurants are very powerful, with nearly ten famous chefs who can cook a variety of dishes from all over the world.

When Liu Hongchang opens a hotel or a restaurant in the future, these people will be able to take charge on their own.

Therefore, private restaurants not only make money, but also temporarily serve as talent training bases to continuously cultivate talents.

In addition, You Fengxia has also trained a lot of people, including some team leaders. Although they are waiters, they have good abilities and can serve as foremen or managers in the future.

……

Around ten o'clock in the morning, business in the store gradually became busy.

Today, the private restaurant's reputation has long been well-known, and the guests include officials as well as a large number of businessmen.

Starting this year, many officials, seeing no hope for their careers, have followed the trend and taken unpaid leave from their jobs to start their own businesses. As a result, the small circle disappeared and became a big circle.

There was a lot of noise outside, but it was quite quiet after the office door was closed.

Liu Hongchang was concentrating on reviewing the accounts when You Fengxia suddenly knocked on the door and came in, smiling, "There's a lady named Lou who said she knows the boss. She's been coming over for dinner every day these days and asking all kinds of questions."

"Did you tell her that I was here today?" Liu Hongchang asked with raised eyebrows.

You Fengxia shook her head and said, "I'm not such a talkative person. It's just that she came again now and I just remembered it, so I came to report to you."

"Then don't worry about her, just receive her normally." Liu Hongchang ordered.

You Fengxia responded, understood what was going on, and turned and left.

He Wenyuan asked curiously, "Ms. Lou? Where is she from? Do I know her?"

"You don't know him." Liu Hongchang shook his head.

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, He Wenyuan stopped asking.

In the next few days, Liu Hongchang was busy running between the food factory and the private restaurant. Finally, he got everything sorted out the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

On this day, He Wenhui returned from her parents' home, and Yu Qiuhua and He Wenyuan also moved in.

Alley entrance.

Lou Xiao'e was guarding the convenience store. She was dressed fashionably and attracted a lot of attention. Most passers-by would look at her curiously.

Liu Hongchang came back from outside on his bicycle, saw Lou Xiaoe, thought for a moment, and this time he didn't hide from her anymore, but went forward and stopped the car.

"Tsk tsk, it's really not easy to see you." Lou Xiao'e said with a sigh.

Liu Hongchang asked with a smile: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Of course there is something. Don't worry. I know people are avoiding me, so I won't do anything rash." Lou Xiao'e said with a smile.

Liu Hongchang nodded and smiled: "I'm not afraid of you messing around. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Lou Xiao'e hesitated for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "I want to buy the Red Star Courtyard. Do you think it's possible?"
