Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

"Boss Meng didn't like me being a hands-off boss, so he forced a secretary to sit beside me. But it's good too. With Luo Qin, I won't have to put things off at work."

Du Shaojie responded casually and didn't take it seriously.

Secretaries are not with you 24 hours a day, they have normal working hours. If they need to work overtime due to special circumstances, they have to be paid overtime.

He was happy with it, after all, no one likes to have their life disturbed.

"Honey, I want to eat your cooking. How about you make me some big plate chicken tonight?"

Qi Yan nodded and took the initiative to change the subject.

At this time, she also reflected in her heart, wondering if the path she had chosen was wrong and if she had placed too much emphasis on her career?
But when he thought about the fact that this guy had a Liang Meiqin, the guilt that had just arisen in him immediately disappeared.

"Okay, I'll show you my skills tonight."

Du Shaojie has no objection. He will not practice his cooking skills deliberately now, because it is difficult to achieve a breakthrough through hard practice at his current level of cooking skills.

At the same time, he will not avoid cooking, cooking is his hobby and he is afraid that he will not be able to quit it in his lifetime.

After a short break at noon, he went to the vegetable market with Qi Yan in the afternoon and bought some vegetables. After the villa in Huaqiao New Village was renovated, the kitchen reached a semi-professional level, which was more than enough to cook a few dishes at home.

night.

Du Shaojie made a [big plate chicken], a [beef stew], a [boiled shrimp], and a [crab roe and egg custard].

The little one has started to eat complementary food, and egg custard is very suitable for her.

After dinner, the two took the little one out for a walk, and Wang Yuxiu and the nanny stayed at home.

After they got married, they were basically busy with their own things. Scenes like this rarely appeared. Qi Yan enjoyed this warm meal. Neither of them spoke, but just walked forward silently.

As a result, Du Shaojie's cell phone rang at an inopportune time.

"Ajie, our Beijing KTV store has been renovated and will open next week. Will you come?"

The call was from Pang Weidong. He and Xu Bo were still working tirelessly to open new stores. Yuedong KTV (Beijing Branch) was about to open.

Du Shaojie glanced at Qi Yan, then said, "I won't go. My wife and children just came here, and I won't go anywhere during this period of time."

"Okay, come and have a look at the store when you get to the capital."

Pang Weidong knew that Du Shaojie and his family were rarely together, so he didn't say much and hung up the phone.

I had just taken a few steps outside when the phone rang again.

"Boss Du, Director Zhao will arrive in Yangcheng tomorrow and will probably stay here for a week. Are you free tomorrow night? Let's have dinner together."

The call was from Dong Yushu, who said that Zhao Zhigang was coming to Yangcheng and wanted to invite Du Shaojie to dinner.

Zhao Zhigang had helped the paging station a lot before. Now that he has come to Guangzhou, it is only right and reasonable to give him a good reception.

"No problem! I'll make the arrangements tomorrow night. Let's go to the [Seafood Restaurant] and I'll personally cook a few dishes to reward Director Zhao."

Du Shaojie and Dong Yushu agreed on the time and place, then hung up.

Qi Yan looked at him with a smile and said, "Hubby, you are really busy with business!"

"I can't help it. Things just happened at the same time. Yan Zi, I have to go out tomorrow afternoon. Director Zhao helped me before, so I have to give him a good reception when he comes here."

Du Shaojie explained casually and said no more.

Qi Yan did not ask any further questions. This was the way their lives went. They were together less often than they were apart, and most of the time they were busy with their own things.

the next day.

After lunch, Du Shaojie came to the [Seafood House] to check the preparation of the ingredients.

"Do you have the dried seafood I want soaked in advance?"

"Boss Du, the ingredients you requested have already been soaked in advance."

[Seafood Shop] A large amount of fresh seafood and dried seafood is consumed every day, so ingredients such as dried abalone and dried sea cucumber are soaked in advance to ensure the daily amount.

Du Shaojie planned to make a dish called "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" in the evening, many of which required the use of dried seafood. Hearing what the manager said, he felt relieved.

After calculating the time, he personally started to make "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall". This dish needs to be simmered over low heat for several hours, and it will be too late if it is not prepared in advance.

Half past six in the evening.

Dong Yushu accompanied Zhao Zhigang into the private room. The manager came over to greet them personally and asked them to sit down first. Mr. Du would come over after he finished his work.

After a while, Ye Weiming also arrived. His company had shares in the paging station, so naturally he couldn't stay out of it.

Later, delicious dishes with fragrant aroma were served on the table.

After Du Shaojie finished his work in the kitchen, he changed his clothes, tidied himself up, and came to the private room.

"Boss Du, please cook for me. I can't afford it. Come on, sit here. I'll be waiting for you."

Zhao Zhigang smiled and said a lot of polite words. Du Shaojie responded and sat next to Zhao Zhigang.

"Boss Du, the dish you made, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, shows your skill. I've eaten it a few times before, but the taste is far inferior to this."

After drinking the opening wine, they started to taste the dishes.

Not only Zhao Zhigang, but also Dong Yushu and Ye Weiming were conquered by this dish [Buddha Jumps Over the Wall].

Both of them had eaten Du Shaojie's dishes before, but this was the first time they had eaten this dish made by the other party. To be honest, they both knew that the other party was a great cook, but the other party always seemed to be able to bring surprises.

Today's table is mainly seafood, mixed with classic dishes of Fujian cuisine and Chaozhou cuisine, each dish is a masterpiece.

"Director Zhao, to be honest, it's very difficult to eat the dishes cooked by Mr. Du these days. Some rich and powerful people have to wait two years to eat his dishes even if they have to pay a lot of money."

Dong Yushu was drumming up support from the sidelines, in fact, he also wanted to indirectly show how much Du Shaojie valued this reception.

Zhao Zhigang was even happier, and even said that he was not worthy of the honor, and took the initiative to offer a glass of wine.

"We are having a party with friends today, so we are happy. Let's not talk about these trivial things. Director Zhao, welcome to Yangcheng. You must eat and drink well."

Du Shaojie then changed the subject, and Zhao Zhigang started talking about some anecdotes in the communications industry.

Today, the paging industry has blossomed, with numerous large and small paging stations. As competition intensifies, the threshold for entering this industry is getting higher and higher, but the first companies to enter basically make a lot of money.

"In addition, wired communications have also developed rapidly in the past two years. Mr. Du, Mr. Dong, and Mr. Ye, I wonder if you have heard about this. A small company in Shenzhen has successfully developed a domestically produced programmable computer and is currently going through the procedures for joining the network."

Zhao Zhigang was well-informed and everyone listened with great interest.

When he talked about a small company in Shenzhen that successfully developed a domestically produced programmable switching system, Du Shaojie couldn't help but feel moved.

"Director Zhao, what's the name of the company in Shenzhen you mentioned?"

"I don't know the details. I'm only responsible for the wireless frequency."

Zhao Zhigang shook his head, and Du Shaojie did not continue to ask.

The guests and hosts enjoyed the meal very much. Ye Weiming suggested going out for a while, probably wanting to invite the guests to sing.

"Forget it this time. There are seven of us on this business trip. It's okay to have a meal and catch up with friends, but it will be bad if we go back too late."

Zhao Zhigang did not agree. He has always been a cautious person and never wants to get himself into trouble.

Then, he thanked Du Shaojie again, and before getting in the car, he whispered:
"I heard that you and others are partnering to open a factory to produce pagers? Actually, there is a huge demand for walkie-talkies in the market right now, so you can consider it. If you decide to do it, I can help you with some of the paperwork."

"Thank you very much."

Du Shaojie smiled and bowed, watching Zhao Zhigang leave in the car.

The remaining three people had no interest in continuing the second half, so they found a place to drink a few cups of tea and then went home to sleep.

the next day.

Du Shaojie had just finished breakfast when Luo Qin came to his door.

She brought some faxed documents that needed her boss's signature before sending them back to the company.

"I have a fax machine at home, you can use it."

Luo Qin temporarily lived in the training center, and Chu Linlin specially prepared a suite for her, one room as a bedroom and the other as an office. The conditions were very good, but she had to run back and forth frequently, which was very troublesome.

Du Shaojie felt that it was not easy for the other party either, so she sent these documents to the catering company from her home.

After Luo Qin finished her work, he gave the other party a phone number and asked her to call and inquire about the situation of Manager Ren's company in Shencheng.

This was actually not within Luo Qin's job scope, but she didn't ask anything and went straight to make the call.

"Honey, you have a good secretary. I think it's a bit of a waste of talent to just let her be in charge of connecting with the catering management company. It's better for her to be your personal secretary."

Qi Yan didn't go out today. She made phone calls when she had something to do, and spent time with her husband and children when she had nothing to do.

She had a good impression of Luo Qin through observation, so she encouraged Du Shaojie to promote Luo Qin to a personal secretary. A personal secretary is equivalent to a work assistant, responsible for connecting with all the companies under Du Shaojie's name, and naturally has a lot of power.

"Yanzi, your suggestion is good. It saves me from having to make phone calls in person for every matter."

Du Shaojie had vaguely had this idea before, and after Qi Yan said this, he made a decision.

Later, Luo Qin came over after finishing her phone call.

"Mr. Du, the other party said that the company you inquired about is developing very well. He faxed you the details a few days ago."

"Oh? Really? I didn't notice it. Let's talk about this later. Xiao Luo, I plan to appoint you as my personal secretary, responsible for connecting with all my companies. What do you think?"

Du Shaojie didn't pay attention to the document sent by Fan Shilun. He put the matter aside for the time being and talked to Luo Qin about the private secretary.

Luo Qin couldn't help but be overjoyed. Before, she was just the secretary of the chairman of the catering management company, but in the future she would be Du Shaojie's personal secretary. The scope of her contacts suddenly expanded, and her power was also different.

As long as Du Shaojie delegates power, she will represent the boss wherever she goes. (End of this chapter)
