Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

"Huh? Okay, big brother."

Sun Haitao didn't understand the trick here and couldn't figure out what the other party meant.

However, the other party was Xiaomei's elder brother, so he would not tease him. So he nodded repeatedly and called his father when he got home that night.

After all, he was not an outsider, and Du Shaojie helped the family solve a big problem, so Sun Haitao's father Sun Zhenguo did not refuse.

The next day.

Du Shaojie asked Wang Yongli to go to the bank to withdraw 6 yuan in cash and give it to Xiaomei.

That night, Xiaomei came to her brother with the IOU written by Sun Haitao.

After Du Shaojie came back, he temporarily lived in the old street, which was very close to Xiaomei's unit and could be reached on foot.

"Brother, this is Haitao's IOU, keep it. By the way, are you really going to help Haitao's dad?"

Unlike Sun Haitao who was confused, Xiaomei understood what her brother meant at that time.

After all, they are siblings, and she knows exactly what her brother is planning.

"Yes, I have a cooperation with a large company in Hong Kong, which deals in paging equipment and pagers.

Your future father-in-law has good vision. Although he has taken a detour, he will be able to succeed if someone gives him a little support. "

Du Shaojie did not hide anything and said it very clearly.

There are many options for support, and the details depend on how the two sides negotiate.

three days later.

Sun Zhenguo and his wife arrived in Guangzhou exhausted. There was no other way. The family savings had been emptied out. They couldn't afford to buy plane tickets, so they could only take a hard seat.

Sun Haitao and Xiaomei went to the train station to pick people up. Du Shaojie asked Zou Xiaohe to make a trip, while he went to the airport to pick up Wang Yuxiu.

Since it concerns Xiaomei's marriage, Wang Yuxiu must come back to meet her in-laws. Both parties also have to discuss some things, so this process naturally has to go through.

That night.

Du Shaojie hosted a banquet at the Seafood Restaurant to welcome Sun Zhenguo and his wife.

"Uncle Sun, I'll toast you a glass."

After meeting, he found out that Sun Zhenguo was one year younger than Wang Yuxiu, so Du Shaojie naturally changed his way of addressing her.

Wang Yuxiu chatted non-stop with Sun Haitao's mother. Sun's mother kept apologizing, saying that her family affairs had affected her son and Xiaomei's marriage, and she hoped that her in-laws would not blame her.

"Not really, not really. Who doesn't have problems? But I think the marriages of our two children can't be delayed any longer. We have to hurry up and hold the weddings."

Wang Yuxiu didn’t care about what happened before, but she didn’t want her daughter’s marriage to be delayed any further.

Her attitude was very firm and there was basically no room for negotiation.

"Of course. The biggest thing that Lao Sun and I did when we came here this time was to arrange the marriages for our two children. Of course, you know the situation at home, so please forgive me if the wedding is not satisfactory to you."

Sun Haitao's mother wears a pair of glasses and looks like an educated person.

Before the couple came, they had already agreed that they would arrange their children's marriages no matter what. For this matter, Sun Zhenguo shamelessly borrowed tens of thousands of yuan before leaving.

The wedding costs money, and the wedding banquet also costs money. Sun Haitao gave all his savings over the years to his family for emergencies. As parents, they naturally have to step up and take on this responsibility.

"Okay, okay, let's eat. I was just busy talking."

Wang Yuxiu was very happy. Just hearing this sentence was enough. As for how much money the man’s family could give when getting married, it didn’t matter.

While drinking with Sun Zhenguo, Du Shaojie also paid attention to what his mother and Sun's mother said.

He nodded secretly. He couldn't blame anyone for what happened in the past. After all, they had encountered difficulties. The fact that they could have this attitude now showed that Haitao's parents were still reasonable.

"Uncle Sun, I don't know if Haitao has told you that I am in the catering business. Don't worry about the wedding banquet. It can be arranged in the company's training center restaurant. It's not too high or too low, and it's quite suitable."

Du Shaojie knew the other party's current financial situation and took the initiative to propose holding the wedding in the training center restaurant.

He held his wedding banquet there, and everyone's response was pretty good.

"Shaojie, thank you for your help! We don't have many acquaintances in Yangcheng. Please help us. I'll give you a toast as your uncle."

"Of course I should. But, Uncle Sun, I can't afford your toast to me. Let's drink together."

Du Shaojie and Sun Zhenguo also reached an agreement that Sun Haitao and Du Xiaomei's wedding would be held at the training center.

The next step was to discuss the specific date, which was finally set at half a month later.

After dinner, Du Shaojie settled Sun Zhenguo and his wife in the courtyard on the old street. There were many guest rooms there, and it was also close to Xiaomei and Haitao's workplace, so he had them ready in advance.

Sun Zhenguo and his wife were naturally very grateful. For them, it was time to save as much as possible. The new house had already been packed up, and they just needed to redecorate it. This house was a wedding gift from Du Shaojie to his sister. In addition, Sun Haitao's unit also allocated a small second-floor apartment of more than 50 square meters. It was up to them how to live after marriage.

"Boss Du, everything has been arranged. We will start the bride-picking process from Huaqiao New Village. We have enough vehicles. You can use your car someday."

Du Shaojie handed over the overall arrangements of the wedding to Chu Linlin, and she could use the company's resources at will.

Chu Linlin arranged everything including the wedding car, on-site decoration, emcee, etc., and then reported to the boss.

"Very good, thank you for your help then."

After all, it was a private matter. Du Shaojie felt very satisfied after listening to it, and then thanked the other party.

Chu Linlin smiled and went to work happily.

The remaining thing was the wedding banquet, and Du Shaojie personally decided on the menu. The banquet was mainly Cantonese cuisine, with seafood accounting for half of the dishes, and a small amount of Sichuan cuisine.

The Cantonese chef was transferred from the Seafood House, and the Sichuan cuisine is prepared by Liao Yongxin himself.

At that time, Du Shaojie will also cook a dish himself. He is the only man in the family and he must make his sister proud.

Half a month passed in a flash, and it was time for Xiaomei to get married.

Under the planning of Chu Linlin and others, the wedding was grand but not extravagant. Many guests came from the units of the bride and groom, and the leaders of their units also spoke a few words at the wedding, which was very respectful.

Especially on the banking side, the provincial bank's president Jiang personally stood up for Du Xiaomei, which surprised many people.

Du Xiaomei is just a small president of a grassroots branch, and her level is far from Jiang Dongyuan. Many people have begun to re-examine Xiaomei's background.

After all, most people don’t know who Du Xiaomei’s brother is, but after today, everyone knows.

Du Xiaomei's elder brother Du Shaojie is the president of the Yangcheng Catering Association and chairman of Shenzhen Bailian Catering Management Company. He owns famous brands such as Xichuan Restaurant, Seafood House, Xiangweiju, and Northwest Noodle House, and is a giant in the domestic catering industry.

Everyone was very envious, but at the same time they had made up their minds that unless there was a major conflict of interest, they would never offend Du Xiaomei.

The same is true for Sun Haitao, whose colleagues envy him for marrying a "rich girl". Of course, Wang Yuxiu would never admit this, as her heart has not changed much over the years.

"Let us bless the newlyweds and wish them a long and happy marriage. Next, the wedding banquet will begin."

As the host finished speaking, various dishes were served in a stream.

The first dishes served were the cold dishes, including [Fuqi Feipian], [Chaozhou Pickled Raw Meat], [Braised Pork Platter], [Spicy Beef], etc.

Next came the twelve hot dishes, including [Baked Lobster with Cheese and Butter], [Steamed Grouper], [Jiangnan Chicken], [Ginger and Scallion Crab], and so on.

"Wow, [Buddha Jumps Over the Wall]!"

This is the only major dish Du Shaojie cooked himself, [Buddha Jumps Over the Wall]. When the dish was served on the table, it caused a burst of exclamations.

It’s not just because of its reputation as the “King of Fujian Cuisine”, but also because this dish is cooked very well, tastes delicious and leaves a lasting aftertaste.

"Dear guests, this dish [Buddha Jumps Over the Wall] is made by our CEO Du himself, and we would like to use it to congratulate Mr. Sun Haitao and Ms. Du Xiaomei on their long and happy marriage!"

Chu Linlin also said something special, and everyone then knew that this dish [Buddha Jumps Over the Wall] was actually made by Boss Du himself.

This is not easy, as most of them have no chance to eat Du Shaojie's dishes. Today, I am here because of Du Xiaomei and Sun Haitao's wedding, so this trip is not in vain.

Sun Zhenguo and his wife looked at the rich dishes on the table and their eyes became a little moist.

The little money they brought might not even be enough for the wedding banquet. The key point is that they didn't tell us anything in advance and arranged everything early. The whole wedding was grand and magnificent, not to mention the wedding banquet. Didn't you see that the guests were having a great time eating?
This was a favor, and they kept it in their hearts.

Sun Haitao and Du Xiaomei were also moved, especially Du Xiaomei. She felt that she would never be able to repay her brother for all the kindness he had shown her.

After the lively wedding, Du Shaojie personally sent Sun Zhenguo and his wife back to the old street. Everyone was very tired today, so they didn't say anything, but agreed to have morning tea together tomorrow morning.

The next day.

Du Shaojie came early in the morning to pick up Sun Zhenguo and his wife, and then went to White Swan.

Later, Wang Yuxiu and a newlywed couple also came. In addition, Xiaoya and her husband with their child, and Qi Yan with her child, all came to the restaurant.

Xiaoya and her husband and Qi Yan arrived just before the wedding. Qi Yan could stay for a few more days, but Xiaoya and her husband had to leave in the afternoon and rush back to work.

It was lively enough for the whole family to sit together and drink morning tea. Especially with the two little ones making a lot of noise, Du Shaojie not only didn't feel annoyed, but was actually quite happy.

After seeing off Xiaoya, Shen Rui and their family of three in the afternoon, he invited Sun Zhenguo to dinner alone in the evening.

Liang Meiqin and Winnie were there to accompany her. Liang Meiqin also attended Xiaomei's wedding and then waited to discuss business.

"Uncle Sun, I am very optimistic about the development of paging stations. Are you still interested in continuing to do this?"

After three rounds of drinks, Du Shaojie got down to business.

Sun Zhenguo smiled bitterly and said, "I am also optimistic about this project. Alas, it is all my fault that I have no experience and failed before I succeeded. Even my capital was lost." (End of this chapter)
