Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Time flies.

Qi Yan finally returned to Yangcheng.

Wang Yuxiu, who wanted to have a grandchild, was very dissatisfied with her. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finally had a conflict, leaving Du Shaojie in a dilemma and he could only persuade both sides.

Qi Yan also felt that she was a bit selfish and decided to have a child.

Du Shaojie cooked a table of dishes in the villa in Overseas Chinese New Village and invited Wang Yuxiu and Xiaomei to eat.

During the meal, Qi Yan announced the news. Wang Yuxiu immediately put aside the little conflict and kept picking up food for Qi Yan.

"You need to eat more. You look so thin. If you want to have a child, you have to take care of your body first."

Xiaomei smiled secretly and Du Shaojie shrugged helplessly.

There's no way. My mother is a typical housewife. She doesn't have much pursuit, but she is particularly persistent about some things.

Fortunately, there are no fundamental conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and everything becomes harmonious again.

"Mom, Xiaomei, don't leave at night, just stay here."

After dinner, Qi Yan took the initiative to invite Wang Xiu Yu and Xiao Mei to stay for the night.

Xiaomei and Wang Yuxiu did not refuse. The villa was very big and there was naturally room for them to live.

While the family was chatting, the landline phone rang.

Du Shaojie walked over to answer the phone and heard Xiaoya's voice: "Brother, is mom here with you? I called home, but no one answered the phone."

"Yes, Mom and Xiaomei are having dinner at my place tonight."

"Brother, let mom answer the phone."

Du Shaojie immediately called Wang Yuxiu over, and as Wang Yuxiu listened, she began to grin.

After the call ended, she announced the good news: "Xiaoya is pregnant, and she asked me to visit her when I am free."

Xiaomei was very happy. She immediately picked up the phone and called Xiaoya again. The two sisters talked for a long time.

Qi Yan and Du Shaojie looked at each other, and the pressure on them suddenly eased a lot.

Of course, she couldn't keep dragging it out. She was not young anymore and some things had to be planned early.

"Yanzi, I also have shares in Sister Yi's business, and I will leave the matters of Rongcheng School to you later."

At night, Du Shaojie talked about his plans.

He has a stake in the Chengdu Chef Training School, which has developed smoothly over the years with the support of Xichuan Restaurant. From the perspective of resource integration, it is the best choice to let Qi Yan manage the Chengdu School.

"Okay! When I open a few more chef training schools in the future, the company can be upgraded to an education group."

Qi Yan registered the company from the very beginning, and Jingcheng School was the company's first entity.

Now Du Shaojie plans to transfer his shares in Rongcheng School to Qi Yan's company. The changes in shareholdings between the two are family affairs, but external relations will be straightened out.

Qi Yan was naturally very happy, as this meant that the company now had two entities, which would be very beneficial for its future development.

"Also, you need a capable manager here, don't overwork yourself. Yan Zi, do you have any good candidates? If you really can't find one, then we can open the recruitment to the public."

Du Shaojie thinks it is wrong to do everything by oneself. It is acceptable to do so in the early stages of entrepreneurship, but it is not appropriate when the company develops to a certain stage.

He didn't know much about vocational education in his previous life, so he had no specific candidates to recommend.

"There are two candidates. I will think about it and nominate one to be my deputy and take charge of daily work."

Qi Yan nodded. If she wanted to get pregnant and have a baby, someone would have to take full responsibility for the company's affairs. In addition, she also felt that being separated from her husband all the time was not a good thing.

Having only one Liang Meiqin was the limit of what she could tolerate. She didn’t want a bunch of beautiful women to appear around her husband in the future.

Men are like positions. If you don't occupy them, the enemy will.

after a few days.

Wang Yuxiu flew to Shanghai.

Du Shaojie told her that it was okay to visit her little daughter, but she should not make herself too tired. If necessary, she could hire a nanny, but there was no need to do everything herself.

Wang Yuxiu agreed, but Du Shaojie had no idea whether she could do it.

Qi Yan stayed at home for almost a month and returned to Beijing. Deputy Tian Zhiguo personally went to the airport to greet her and was very excited when talking about the current situation of the school.

The situation of schools in the capital has been completely opened up. There is an endless stream of students coming to register for study, and there is basically no need to worry about the source of students.

This month, the school has once again strengthened its teaching staff, and the Beijing Chef Training School has begun to take shape.

"Boss Qi, during the time you were away from Beijing, we made a new plan to open a chef training school in Xingcheng."

Tian Zhiguo is the company's future general manager candidate. He is very rigorous in his work. In addition to the plan, he has also prepared a project feasibility report and a market research report. Qi Yan nodded. She had talked about this with Du Shaojie before, and they were both optimistic about opening a school in Xingcheng.

Xingcheng is one of the birthplaces of Hunan cuisine, and it has many famous Hunan chefs. It certainly has many natural advantages. Just like Rongcheng School, it is now very famous in the Sichuan cuisine world.

"Well, let's have a meeting later to discuss it. If there's no problem, let's do it this way."

Qi Yan has Du Shaojie and Bailian Catering Management Company to support her, so she has no financial pressure. This has reduced the difficulty of starting a business for entrepreneurs.

Therefore, she only needs to consider the gains and losses of the project itself, and not much else.

[Bailian Catering Management Company] is also making big moves. Next, [Xiangweiju] Yangcheng store, [Xiangweiju] Shanghai store, as well as Chang'an store, Jinling store and Hangzhou store will open one after another.

Considering that Qi Yan has a lot of talented people, Du Shaojie discussed with the other party and transferred Wang Qingquan to [Bailian Catering Management Company] to serve as the nominal head chef of [Xiangweiju].

Wang Qingquan's responsibilities are to provide technical guidance to each store, standardize the production process and specifications of each dish, discover and train talents, and have the right to make recommendations on the selection of head chefs for each store.

This made Wang Qingquan very happy. He was a person who could not stand loneliness, and he had to stay in school to teach students. Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally felt proud.

Although this chef's job is hard and he will have to travel all over the country, he enjoys it.

Du Shaojie took time out to attend the opening ceremony of the five new stores. However, like Meng Gang, he left immediately and did not stay in the area for a long time.

Relatively speaking, the expansion speed of [Seafood House] is much slower.

During this period, [Xiangweiju] has opened 5 new stores, while [Xiangxianfang] has only opened 2 new stores. This is mainly because the supply of seafood is quite special and the supply channels need to be established in advance.

This part took Xiao Jianjun a lot of time and effort.

Although Du Shaojie prefers to play it safe, he is not opposed to periodic aggressive expansion. However, his sub-brands are pretty much like this, including [Xichuan Restaurant], [Xiangweiju], [Seafood House] and [Northwest Noodle House].

After the expansion period is over, no new sub-brands will be added. Instead, the company will strengthen the construction of existing brands and gradually improve the operation and management level of each store.

That is to say, shift from extensive expansion to the pursuit of intensive quality development.

It was a rare moment of peace and quiet, so Du Shaojie went to Hong Kong and planned to have a good rest for a while.

"Boss Du, this is a cocktail party hosted by Oak Investments. They sent an invitation to our company and invited our senior executives to attend. You happened to be in Hong Kong, do you want to attend the cocktail party?"

When Du Shaojie arrived in Hong Kong, he first went to Dingxin International.

When the boss arrived, Liang Meiqin convened a high-level meeting in the company to report to him on the recent business operations.

At the meeting, Winnie took out several invitations and handed them to Du Shaojie very solemnly. Then she specifically introduced the background and strength of [Oak Investment Company], which is a top international investment company and is very famous in the industry.

"Then go and have a look."

Du Shaojie has no objection. His Dingxin International is not very prominent in Hong Kong. Compared with international capital giants like Oak Investments, it is just a little brother.

To be honest, he was actually quite unfamiliar with the investment circle, so he just wanted to join in the fun.

After everyone finished their reports, Liang Meiqin announced the end of the meeting.

"Misaki, I won't eat with you at noon. Come home to eat in the evening. I'll cook a few dishes."

Du Shaojie said hello to Liang Meiqin and went to Repulse Bay.

I seldom visit my villa, but fortunately there is someone to take care of it, otherwise the grass in the yard would be half a person's height.

The car drove to the gate of the villa. Zou Xiaohe honked the horn a few times, and Zhong Qing came out to take a look, then opened the big iron gate.

The car drove in and parked, and Wang Yongli jumped out to help Du Shaojie open the door.

"Hi boss!"

Zhong Qing hurriedly stepped forward to greet the boss, Du Shaojie responded with a smile, and the group walked in.

The nanny is cooking. She works normally, and besides cleaning and tidying up the house, she also has to cook. The boss and his wife are not here, so she and Zhong Qing have to eat too, right?

Zhong Qing stays here 24 hours a day and only leaves when he needs to rest, which saves him money on rent.

In addition to his security duties, he was also responsible for the maintenance of the house. As for the lawn and flowers in the yard, there were gardeners who came to take care of them regularly, so he didn't need to worry about it.

"Zhong Qing, how do you feel about staying here? Is it boring?"

Du Shaojie was in a good mood and had a rare chat with Zhong Qing.

Zhong Qing quickly replied:
"It's not boring! This job not only brings me a good income, but also provides me with a place to live. I am very grateful to my boss for giving me this opportunity."

Du Shaojie nodded and went upstairs on his own.

Zhong Qing then found Wang Yongli, thought for a moment and said, "Yongli, this area has not been very peaceful recently. A major case happened some time ago, and these wealthy people are in a panic."

When Wang Yongli heard this, he quickly asked for details.

The Repulse Bay villa area is full of rich people. Not long ago, the son of a well-known rich man was kidnapped from his home by gangsters. (End of this chapter)
