Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Time flies.

The investigation into Qi Chenggang has ended. This strong man, who has always been known for his strength, has been exposed and he probably won't be able to get out of this life.

Unfortunately, Jiao Hongtao did not receive any reward for this incident, but lost his position as branch director. However, this guy was soon transferred to the provincial department, and many people speculated that he might have a deep background.

In his previous life, Du Shaojie always heard people say that the 1980s were full of gold, but when he really stood in this era, he found that everything was not as good as he had imagined.

He rested at home for a while and then began to inspect the newly opened stores.

Starting from Yangcheng, he first went to Xingcheng, and then to Jiangcheng, Hangzhou, and Jinling.

Today, Du Shaojie has become a giant in the catering industry. According to the plan, at least 50 more stores will be added across the country in the future, including [Xichuan Restaurant] and [Northwest Noodle House].

After leaving Jinling, he went to the capital.

"How long have you not been here?"

When Qi Yan met Du Shaojie, she was both happy and a little resentful.

Du Shaojie laughed and thought it would be better to shut the other person up first, so that she wouldn't get more angry the more she talked.

After a long time, Qi Yan came out of the shower with a rosy face and her skin looked more lustrous.

"Let's go eat hot pot."

Afterwards, Du Shaojie took Qi Yan to the hotpot restaurant. Qi Yan was all smiles, without any trace of resentment on her face.

Tonight Pang Weidong is hosting a welcome party for Du Shaojie. As partners, the two haven't seen each other for a while.

Pang Weidong still feels quite resentful about this.

However, he now has a lot of talented people under him, so under normal circumstances he really doesn't need to bother Du Shaojie.

"Dongzi, congratulations, you have achieved great success."

The "hot pot" project jointly created by the two has already occupied a large market in the north.

The project is highly profitable, borrowing and loan repayment have formed a virtuous cycle, and the company's debt-to-asset ratio is very healthy, so there is no need to worry at all.

However, this development model is rather risky. The process cannot be inferred from the results. The process is still very thrilling and one may lose everything if one is not careful.

But as a partner, Du Shaojie only looks at the results, so he would never say anything that would spoil the fun.

"Haha, half of the credit should be attributed to you. If it weren't for the recipes for the hot pot base and dipping sauce you provided, it would have been difficult to develop."

Du Shaojie and Pang Weidong clinked glasses, and Qi Yan and Pang Weidong's girlfriend clinked glasses.

Pang Weidong said that the company will soon expand into the southern market, and will ask Du Shaojie to help with the review at that time.

Du Shaojie agreed readily. It was not good for him to just sit there and do nothing. He had to do something.

The meal lasted nearly two hours. After the meal, Pang Weidong sent a driver to take Du Shaojie and Qi Yan back home.

Because Qi Yan had to go to work the next day, the two of them came to Qi Yan's new home.

"Yanzi, this house is well decorated. How does it feel to live in it?"

Although it is a second-hand house, the surrounding environment is good and the house is spacious.

Du Shaojie read the whole thing and felt very satisfied.

"Of course it's comfortable to live here, thank you, man."

Qi Yan likes this house very much, and of course she likes the man in front of her even more.

"Then how are you going to thank me?"

Du Shaojie felt a little regretful as soon as he finished speaking, because his words made Qi Yan's eyes start to become tearful again.

"Thank you however you want."

Therefore, Du Shaojie had to score twice and fell into the land of gentleness again.

The next day.

After Du Shaojie got up, he called Chen Jizhou. It happened that the other party was not on a business trip recently, so they agreed to get together at Du Shaojie's house in the evening.

"Okay! Mr. Chen, is there anything you want to eat?"

"You decide. I can adapt to any taste."

Chen Jizhou didn't say what he wanted to eat, so Du Shaojie went out to buy groceries after hanging up the phone.

When he came back, Wang Yongli's hands were full of things. Wang Yongli proved his loyalty and toughness, so Du Shaojie must take him with him when he goes out.

"Boss, you really don't need my help?"

Wang Yongli put down the things in his hand and asked.

"No, Wynn, go take a look at the car and then buy it back in the name of the company."

Du Shaojie didn't have a car in Beijing, so he asked Wang Yongli to go and have a look and then buy two cars. One for Yu Jianxin and others, and one for himself.

Without a car, it is inconvenient to do anything.

"Ok."

Wang Yongli then went to see the car, and Du Shaojie began to prepare dinner.

There shouldn’t be many dishes, but they must be exquisite; that’s his idea.

After Chen Jizhou arrived, Du Shaojie prepared four dishes and a soup, which looked quite sumptuous.

"Xiao Du, your skills are amazing now, amazing!"

When Chen Jizhou was on the farm, he ate meals prepared by Du Shaojie every day and thought they were delicious.

Looking back now, Du Shaojie was just a beginner in this field at that time.

Today, Du Shaoji's cooking skills are so amazing that it's no exaggeration to call him a great chef. "No matter how good my cooking skills are, you still have to be free, right? Are you still so busy every day?"

Since Chen Jizhou was transferred to Beijing, the two met very rarely, and their normal communication was mainly through phone calls.

The key issue here is that Chen Jizhou is too busy.

"Busy. There are only a few days of leisure time throughout the year."

Chen Jizhou smiled slightly. He was certainly busy, but he also enjoyed it.

Suddenly, he remembered something Du Shaojie had asked him to do, and he continued, "I have already done what you asked me to do, and there will be a result by next month at the latest."

Du Shaojie knew that the other party was talking about Yu Jianxin’s wife’s work problem. She used to be a temporary worker in Chen Jizhou’s unit, but now she has finally succeeded and become a regular employee.

"Mr. Chen, thank you so much! How about this meal not count, and I'll treat you to a formal meal next time?"

Du Shaojie was very happy and felt happy for Yu Jianxin and his wife.

Over the years, Yu Jianxin has worked diligently in Beijing and created huge value. As a boss, he deserves some reward.

Yu Jianxin’s wife’s work is the most important thing for their family.

"You are such a snob. You only think of treating me to a big meal after you've finished your work. I won't go!"

As Chen Jizhou spoke, he also started laughing.

Even though there are only four dishes and one soup today, such delicious food is hard to find even in big restaurants.

Less than an hour after the meal, Chen Jizhou said goodbye and left. He had a foreign affairs reception the next day and had to get up early.

Looking at the old man's hurried footsteps, Du Shaojie suddenly thought, should he also be more diligent?
the next day.

When Qi Yan was resting, Du Shaojie put the idea of ​​"diligence" behind his mind and took her out to play for a day.

After coming back, Qi Yan continued to work overtime. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and begged for mercy repeatedly.

Du Shaojie couldn't bear to make the other person suffer, so he cooked some nourishing medicinal food in the evening to help the person replenish his energy.

That night, Qi Yan was particularly honest and kept talking to the man about ideals and the future.

"You don't know, I really long for a free country. If I could let you go, I would have planned to study abroad."

There is nothing wrong with studying abroad, and there is nothing wrong with envying the living standards of developed countries.

After all, it is the 80s now. To be honest, the gap between China and foreign countries is still quite large.

However, Du Shaojie felt something unusual from Qi Yan's words. This girl's values ​​seemed a little distorted.

"Yanzi, I have to warn you that your thoughts are very dangerous. We rarely talked about this before, and it seems that you don't realize the seriousness of the problem."

As a "veteran", Du Shaojie must correct some of the other party's extreme ideas.

Otherwise, Qi Yan would most likely suffer a great loss.

"I know, man, I'll listen to you, isn't that enough?"

Qi Yan's attitude was very good, but Du Shaojie still had doubts. Why did he feel that the other party was just perfunctory?

This is not okay.

So Du Shaojie gave Qi Yan an ideological lesson for half the night, but only God knows what the effect was.

Two days passed.

Du Shaojie took some time to visit Xichuan Restaurant’s first store in Beijing, which is the earliest one.

Due to the impact of municipal projects, one store eventually became two stores.

He arrived at the store, checked the accounts, and then assessed the skills of the kitchen staff. He fully affirmed the work of Jianxin, Yan Dabao and others.

He didn't care about other specific matters, that was what Meng Gang should worry about.

Then he called Yu Jianxin aside and told him that his wife's work quota had been met and she would be a formal employee starting next month.

And there is an important benefit here, which is that it can solve the local household registration problem.

"Boss, you are so great. Our whole family has to thank you."

Yu Jianxin almost shed tears after hearing this.

He did it not for anything else but for the household registration and for his children's future schooling.

It is crucial to understand that students are not treated as well as regular students.

"Okay, a grown man, you still can't keep your cool? Don't tell anyone else about this. I don't have the ability to help more people solve their work quota and household registration problems."

After Du Shaojie finished speaking, he left the store.

His current inspections are, in a sense, a bit like financial audits, while the company is still responsible for management.

Before leaving, he took Qi Yan and Pang Weidong out for dinner.

The next morning, he flew back to Guangzhou.

After Lin Zhiyuan found out, he called and made an appointment to have dinner together at the Seafood Restaurant on the weekend.

When the day came, Du Shaojie met not only Lin Zhiyuan, but also Ye Weiming, Jiao Hongtao, Jiang Dongyuan and an unfamiliar friend.

This person's name is Huang Yong. He was also there when Du Shaojie first met Jiao Hongtao.

But they didn't have much contact afterwards, and he was rarely present at any dinner parties, so he almost forgot about this person.

"Old Huang, your promotion is a happy occasion, you have to drink a few more glasses today."

After Lin Zhiyuan and Jiao Hongtao's introduction, Du Shaojie learned that Huang Yong had just taken Peng Ziwu's seat.

Huang Yong didn't waste any words and drank three cups in a row. He was very humble in front of Lin Zhiyuan and others. (End of this chapter)
