Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Time flies.

Dongsheng Electronics' new factory was completed and successfully entered the trial production stage.

Yu Mo insisted on taking Du Shaojie to celebrate, after all, this process was not easy.

"At first, I thought the biggest difficulty was funding, but now I know that the biggest difficulty is the lack of talent. You don't know, during the entire construction phase, I not only had to worry about engineering matters, but also had to recruit people everywhere."

The two went to the InterContinental Hotel to eat Western food. This was Yu Mo's suggestion, and Du Shaojie naturally would not object.

Yu Mo recounted the hardships of building the factory from scratch, which made Du Shaojie feel somewhat guilty. It seemed that apart from helping to solve the funding gap problem, he basically didn't care about anything else.

"I'm just a chef. I want to help but I'm powerless."

Du Shaojie quickly found an excuse, and the little bit of guilt he felt instantly disappeared.

In fact, it is right for him to not intervene. After all, he is completely ignorant about the manufacturing industry and might end up making things worse.

"Oh, right, Ajie. Brother Bing, who used to work for my uncle, is now helping me. Brother Bing is an expert and has a way of managing a factory. I want to hire him as the company's vice president. Do you think it's okay?"

The new factory is still named "Dongsheng Electronics".

Yu Mo meant to let Brother Bing (Jiang Bingchun) be the company's deputy general manager, responsible for the daily work of the factory.

"That's up to you to decide."

Du Shaojie did not get involved in this matter and just let Yu Mo handle it.

"Mo Mo, how many orders do you estimate you can get in the next six months?"

He doesn't understand production matters, but that doesn't mean he doesn't understand the survival issues of the company.

The key is that the products produced by the enterprise must eventually be sold.

"You don't have to worry about orders. As soon as we started trial production, some companies took the initiative to seek cooperation. Our products have been identified and are fully qualified, and are also at the leading level in China."

Yu Mo seemed very confident, and Du Shaojie nodded with satisfaction.

After dinner, the two went directly across the border to Xiangjiang, where Yu Mo bought a lot of things. She was so busy recently that she didn't even have time to go shopping.

night.

Du Shaojie was ready to call Wang Liwen out, but she had to work the night shift and had no time.

After dinner, he and Yu Mo went to the bar and played until late at night, completely relaxing for the day.

The next morning, Du Shaojie and Yu Mo returned to Shenzhen.

"Mo Mo, I'll leave the company to you. I'm going back to Yangcheng today. Call me if you have anything."

Du Shaojie felt that he had only two roles: one was to provide financial support to Yu Mo when she was in financial difficulties, and the other was to provide her with spiritual support when she was depressed.

He couldn't help in any other way, so he simply returned to Guangzhou.

"Brother, I knew you would come back. I have good news for you. I can graduate now."

Within two days after he came back, Xiaomei came to see him excitedly.

Du Xiaomei passed the thesis defense, completed her master's studies, and graduated successfully.

"This is indeed good news. What about work?"

"I've got a job at the provincial Bank of China. Actually, I wanted to go back to Xijiang, but my mentor and classmates persuaded me not to, so I ended up staying in Yangcheng."

Xiaomei expressed her concerns, saying that her mother was getting older and would not be able to stay in Xijiang alone.

She planned to go back before officially reporting for duty and bring Wang Yuxiu over no matter what.

"Don't run away. Just go to work. I'll go back in a few days and have a good talk with mom."

Du Shaojie can understand his elder sister's choice. At this stage, the gap between the South and the Northwest is huge. Why not stay if she has the conditions?

Of course, they, the brothers and sisters, could not ignore their mother, so the best way was to bring Wang Yuxiu to Yangcheng.

In fact, he would rather Xiaomei join the system, but working in a bank is also fine. After all, the choice is in Xiaomei's hands, and he will not interfere too much.

three days later.

Du Shaojie took Wang Yongli to Xijiang.

He is now accustomed to having Wang Yongli accompany him when he travels far away. The other party is not only his driver, but also, in a sense, his personal assistant.

Wang Yuxiu was of course very happy to see her son come back.

Du Shaojie comes back less and less often now, and sometimes she feels sad when she looks at the empty house.

However, she did not want to hinder her children's future, so she never said these words on the phone.

That night, Du Shaojie cooked a sumptuous dinner.

"Yanzi's parents came to see me a few days ago. They seemed to have something to say, but they left without saying anything. Son, are you still in touch with Yanzi?"

After dinner, Wang Yongli went to the yard next door to rest. Wang Yuxiu took the opportunity when there were no outsiders around to suddenly say something.

Finally, he asked Du Shaojie whether Qi Yan's parents came because of what happened between him and Yan Zi.

Du Shaojie didn't know how to answer, so he changed the subject.

"Mom, Yan Zi is in Beijing. I went there a long time ago to see her. Let's not talk about this for now. I want to tell you about Xiao Mei. Xiao Mei has graduated and has found a job. She will soon work for the Bank of China in Guangdong Province. You see, my brother and I are both in Guangzhou. You might as well come with me this time, otherwise we will all be worried."

Whenever this issue was brought up in the past, Wang Yuxiu always found various excuses.

Now that she heard her daughter had secured a job, she had to think seriously about it, no matter how reluctant she was to leave.

Although my youngest daughter Xiaoya is still studying, it is unlikely that she will come back. She can't live alone forever, right? Without her children around, she is actually quite lonely.

"But I'm unfamiliar with the place. You guys are working, busy with your careers, and I'm staying in the house all day without anyone to talk to. How can it be good?"

Wang Yuxiu was hesitant, mainly because she was unwilling to leave her familiar environment.

She has things to do here and many old friends, so she is somewhat reluctant to let go.

"Mom, just because you go there doesn't mean you can't come back. For example, if the summer in the south is very hot, you can come back and stay for two months. If the winter here is very cold, you can go to the south to spend the winter, how great is that?"

Du Shaojie knew his mother's concern and tried to persuade her from another angle.

Wang Yuxiu actually took his words to heart.

"That's fine. When Xiaomei gets a stable job, I'll go live in the south for a while. Xiaojie, it's all your fault that you haven't gotten married yet. Otherwise, I could take care of my grandchildren, and naturally I wouldn't be bored."

Wang Yuxiu hesitated for a long time and finally agreed to go to the south.

However, she also scolded Du Shaojie, and her intention was naturally to urge him to get married.

Du Shaojie said a few perfunctory words and ran away. On the one hand, he liked a free and easy life and didn't like being constrained. On the other hand, it was difficult for him to choose between Qi Yan and Liang Meiqin, which was actually a form of escape.

The next day.

Du Shaojie took Wang Yongli to the street to taste the local delicacies, including [roasted lamb], [roasted lamb chops], [roasted buns], [pilaf], [mixed noodles], etc. They did not go home for dinner the whole day.

Wang Yuxiu was also very busy today. She started to hand over her work to Su Xiaoyun. From now on, she will be unable to take care of things here.

"Xiao Jie, after I'm gone, what will happen to the recipe for Dezhou Braised Chicken? Without the recipe, there will be no spice pack. Xiao Yun won't be able to make a good dish even if she has three heads and six arms."

night.

Wang Yuxiu discussed the recipe of [Dezhou Braised Chicken] with Du Shaojie very seriously.

Du Shaojie had thought about this problem in advance, so he said, "Mom, give the formula to Sister Xiaoyun. With the relationship between Dapeng and me, there won't be any problems."

After years of cooperation, this foundation of trust still exists.

At that time, Wang Yuxiu can let go completely and still get a considerable dividend every year, which will be good for everyone.

"Yeah, I think so too. Dapeng doesn't need to be mentioned. Xiaoyun is a good girl and she shouldn't let us down."

In fact, Du Shaojie no longer cares about this formula. The formula has not been upgraded in recent years, and he is too lazy to fix it.

Looking back, it was just a small business.

The two reached a consensus, and a few days later, Wang Yuxiu handed the recipe to Su Xiaoyun.

Su Xiaoyun was a little nervous when she got the recipe. After Du Shaojie explained it again and again, she put it away with confidence.

after a few days.

Du Shaojie called Liu Ying and invited her, Jiang Cheng and Lu Yimin to have dinner together.

"When did you come back? I find you are becoming more and more mysterious. There is no problem with eating, but you don't know yet? Jiang Cheng got a promotion and was transferred to the provincial government."

Liu Ying's future is hopeless, and she will probably feel retired in her current position.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Cheng was extremely lucky and went directly to the province. It seemed that he was quite lucky.

"That's great. Then you can contact them this weekend and go to Xichuan Restaurant for dinner."

"Why go to a restaurant? Let's go to your private kitchen. I say, you are the big boss now, don't you want to cook for us?"

"That can't be possible! I'll just listen to you and you all come over this weekend."

Du Shaojie wanted to be lazy, but Liu Ying didn't buy it, so he had to agree to cook for himself.

Although he no longer needs the care of Liu Ying and others, they have been good friends for a long time, so he still has to give them some face.

It's the weekend.

Du Shaojie and Wang Yongli went out to buy groceries early in the morning.

He didn't plan to make any difficult dishes today, and would focus on hometown dishes and Sichuan cuisine. After all, Liu Ying and others had heavier tastes.

Therefore, he arranged [Beef Stew], [Spicy Fish], [Jiangnan Hundred Flowers Chicken], [Signature Maoxuewang], [Braised Lamb Chops], and [Silky Tofu Soup].

There aren’t many dishes, but they’re definitely filling.

Perhaps it has become a habit, Du Shaojie now pays not only attention to seasoning when cooking, but also pays great attention to the presentation of the dish, which means that the appearance must be good-looking.

Liu Ying, Jiang Cheng and Lu Yimin hadn't seen Du Shaojie for a long time. When the food and wine were served, they started eating and couldn't help showing expressions of surprise.

The other party's cooking skills have undergone tremendous changes compared to before, and the level is so high that it is completely beyond their cognition.

Jiang Cheng said with an intoxicated expression: "Is this the level of a state banquet?" (End of this chapter)
