Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Du Shaojie left Jinling and went all the way to Suzhou and Hangzhou.

As the saying goes, "There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below", it will surely bring him surprises.

Although he was traveling, Du Shaojie kept in touch with Meng Gang and Wang Yongli. He also talked to Wang Yuxiu, Liang Meiqin, Qi Yan and others by phone, and sent them some photos he took outside.

"Boss Su, is our boss always so cool and unrestrained?"

Meng Gang has been busy ever since he joined the catering management company.

He felt that he should do his best when working for his boss. After all, the company's treatment was excellent and fully worthy of the title of a foreign-funded enterprise.

It’s just that the boss himself seems to be very casual. He leaves at any time and is often not seen for a month or so.

He asked Su Dapeng curiously, after all, he and the boss were childhood friends.

"It's okay. Maybe his personality has changed in recent years."

Su Dapeng thought for a long time. He had never realized that Du Shaojie loved to play so much before.

However, in front of his colleagues, he couldn't say anything and could only be vague.

Meng Gang smiled and nodded, and understood. Maybe the boss started to enjoy life early after he became rich? Fortunately, the normal operation of the company was not affected by the boss's presence or absence, otherwise he would be worried.

Liang Meiqin took the photos sent by Du Shaojie, looked at them again and again, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

This is his personality, he likes to be free, which is good.

Qi Yan was jealous of Du Shaojie's freedom. When they talked on the phone, she said that when summer vacation came, she must make him go out and play with her.

Du Shaojie agreed immediately and asked Qi Yan to meet in Shanghai during the summer vacation.

Only Wang Yuxiu couldn't help cursing after seeing her son's photo: "You have time to go out and play, but you don't know how to find a date?"

Everyone's reactions were different, but Du Shaojie didn't care.

It was not until the renovation of his "old villa" was completed that he returned to the Magic City with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

"Xiao Wang, thank you for your hard work!"

"It's not hard, this is what I should do."

Du Shaojie personally inspected the renovation project, looked carefully upstairs and downstairs, and felt very satisfied.

Looking at Wang Yongli again, he has obviously lost weight and become darker during this period, but he follows Du Shaojie without saying a word.

Du Shaojie said "thank you for your hard work", but he didn't expect the other party to not take any credit at all.

"Tomorrow you will go with me to buy furniture, electrical appliances and other daily necessities. After these two days, we will go back to Guangzhou."

"Okay, Mr. Du."

A few days passed quickly.

Du Shaojie cleaned up the new home and then invited Zhou Huai'en and others to his home for a meal.

He cooked this meal himself, and all the dishes were the [Jinling cuisine] he learned during his trip. The cooking skills were on par with those of the chefs at [Jiangsu Restaurant].

"Boss Du, you are such a genius! You are so good at everything you do. Most people can't compare to you."

Zhou Huai'en is a master of Sichuan cuisine, but it is not possible to ask him to cook [Nanjing cuisine].

As the saying goes, every profession has its specialties. There is no one like Du Shaojie, who is so talented. He can master anything he learns and the dishes he makes are so delicious that they are even better than the master.

For example, this table of [Jinling cuisine] tastes absolutely delicious and has reached a very high standard.

Manager Wu Xueqing and No. 2 Kitchen Chef Cui Dongfang also looked at the boss with curiosity. They were not familiar with Du Shaojie and some things were difficult to say, but they were simply in awe of his cooking skills.

People in the store always say that the boss's cooking skills are superb. Cui Dongfang has heard Du Shaojie's lectures and has some impression of him, but Wu Xueqing has no idea at all.

Today the two finally understood that praising the boss's cooking skills was not flattery, but the truth.

Wang Yongli often follows Du Shaojie, so he is not surprised because he is used to it.

"Come on, come on, let me toast to everyone. From now on, the Magic City store will depend on you."

Du Shaojie smiled slightly, did not respond to Zhou Huai'en's words, but toasted a glass of wine to several people.

After this meal, Modou’s new home was ready, and it was time for him to leave.

at night.

Du Shaojie took stock of his recent gains.

The only reward he had was today's 10 dishes, all of which received an overall rating of "exquisite delicacies", which brought him 10 exchange points and an increase of 5000 hours of cooking time.

However, I was busy traveling before, which only consumed time without any gain, and I inadvertently consumed 3 hours of time.

[Exchange points: 72918 points\416066 points]

【Duration: 51.10 million hours\715.30 million hours】

the next day.

Du Shaojie and Wang Yongli took the opportunity to return to Guangzhou.

Meng Gang got the news and hurried over from Shenzhen. He had several important things to discuss with Du Shaojie.

"Boss Du, Boss Su has completed the market research in Shenzhen and has also found a store. After a company meeting, everyone agreed that it is appropriate to open a [Northwest Noodle House] in Shenzhen. We are just waiting for your signature to implement it."

The first thing is that the company agreed to Su Dapeng’s plan, but Du Shaojie’s signature was still needed in the end.

Du Shaojie took the relevant documents, read them through, and signed his name without saying a word.

"anything else?"

"Also, there's a problem at the Xichuan Restaurant in Beijing. Someone has set their sights on our business, and Manager Yu has been trying his best to get things done, but it seems like he can't quite figure it out."

Next, Meng Gang talked about the second thing.

This matter was actually beyond his ability. Although the catering company had good profitability and was also covered with the skin of a "foreign-funded enterprise", there were always people who were jealous and tried every means to take over the business. This kind of thing might not be solved through normal channels, or even if it could be solved, it would leave trouble.

Therefore, Meng Gang thought of his boss's connections.

It would be great if the boss could resolve the matter through his own connections, otherwise it would be quite troublesome.

"Have I become fat meat in the eyes of others now?"

Du Shaojie had just solved Zhang Yufa's problem not long ago, but unexpectedly he encountered something even more outrageous.

If Zhang Yufa was doing bad things behind the scenes, then this time it was an open robbery.

He couldn't help but feel annoyed.

【Ding! 】

[Task: Keep the fruits of victory and solve the problems of [Xichuan Restaurant] Beijing store within 30 days.]

[Reward: 10 redemption points, random gift pack (×2). ]

[Punishment: None. 】

The task was released unexpectedly, and Du Shaojie couldn't help but frown.

In fact, the reward for completing the task this time is very generous, and there is no penalty if the task is not completed on time.

Logically he should be happy.

But that's exactly where the problem lies.

The unprecedentedly generous reward and exemption of punishment for failure to complete the task show that this matter is very tricky.

"Boss Du?"

Seeing that Du Shaojie remained silent for a long time, Meng Gang couldn't help but speak up and remind him.

"Well, I understand. I'll go to the capital in person later to see if I can solve the problem."

Du Shaojie came to his senses and took the initiative to take on the matter.

Meng Gang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was not clear about his boss's connections, he believed that the other party must have some confidence in taking over this matter on his own initiative.

Later, the two continued to talk about work, and Meng Gang left in the afternoon.

Du Shaojie had not even rested for two days after returning before he flew to Beijing the next day.

Naturally, he had nothing to complain about. The company was his, and so were the stores. He could not expect his subordinates to solve all the problems.

"Jianxin, have we really met such an arrogant person? If he takes a fancy to my store, I must sell it to him. If I don't sell it, I will be unable to continue my business?"

The first thing Du Shaojie did after arriving in Beijing was to call Yu Jianxin to his home.

It is not convenient to discuss things in a restaurant, especially when it involves such negative things. It is best not to expand the impact.

"I recently made some inquiries. This person himself is not a big deal, but his family has great power. If he really wants to target us, we will be in trouble."

Although Yu Jianxin spoke very tactfully, Du Shaojie understood it immediately.

It is meaningless to investigate the specific reasons now. The key is how to deal with the subsequent situation.

"Go back and make an appointment with that person. Set the time for the day after tomorrow. It's best to choose a public place. I will talk to him."

Du Shaojie felt that he should get in touch with the person first. A face-to-face conversation would allow him to have a clearer understanding of what kind of person the other person is.

However, he had no intention of selling the restaurant, no matter who might be the boss.

Whether the other party was bragging or not, he would have to wait until the fight to know. If he really couldn't win, he would rather close the restaurant than compromise with the other party.

This is the bottom line, other things can be negotiated.

"Okay, Mr. Du, I'll let you know when I get back in touch."

Yu Jianxin stood up and said goodbye. He had been very busy recently, partly because of this matter.

Now that the boss is here, he feels more confident.

Du Shaojie's house has been installed with a telephone, and it was Yu Jianxin who helped solve this problem.

He thought about it and called Chen Jizhou first, saying that he wanted to go see him.

"You really know how to pick the time. I'm going abroad tomorrow and will be back in about 10 days. If you haven't left when I get back, let's find a place to have a couple of drinks and have a good chat."

When the unit was first established, Chen Jizhou was appointed general manager and had almost no free time.

However, his relationship with Du Shaojie is different. Although they couldn't meet this time due to bad luck, they could still find time to have a meal together when he returns from abroad.

"Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I'll welcome you back when you come back."

Du Shaojie hung up the phone helplessly. He originally wanted to ask Chen Jizhou to see if he could ask someone to settle the matter.

It seems that we can't rely on each other now. Who knows what will happen in 10 days.

Afterwards, he called Qi Yan and told her that he had arrived in Beijing.

Qi Yan was surprised and happy at the same time.

In the evening, she came running over in a hurry.

The result was that Qi Yan didn't get up the next day and had to call and ask for half a day off.

"Shaojie, you must be careful when handling this matter."

Qi Yan asked Du Shaojie why he suddenly came to Beijing, and he did not hide anything and told the truth directly.

After all, she had been in the local area for so many years and knew a little about the situation, so she tactfully advised him. She didn't say anything more, because she knew Du Shaojie's character too well, and saying too much would be counterproductive. (End of this chapter)
