Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

"Thank you for your trust, President Du. I will definitely work hard in my new position."

Luo Qin first thanked his boss for the promotion and reuse, and then expressed his position.

Du Shaojie nodded. He was very satisfied with the other party's reaction.

With the title of personal secretary, Luo Qin could legitimately access most of Du Shaojie's business. It only took her ten minutes to find the fax from Fan Shilun.

Du Shaojie took the document and read it through. Manager Ren had indeed successfully developed a programmable switching system.

He was very happy with the result, but that was all. He would not interfere with the operation of the other company unless the other party asked for help.

Later.

Du Shaojie called Meng Gang and told him his decision.

Luo Qin's work relationship will be transferred to [Dingxin International] in the future. When the branch of [Dingxin International] is established, her salary will be paid by the branch.

Meng Gang couldn't help but sigh that fate was really an amazing thing.

After Luo Qin became the boss's personal secretary, her career soared to prominence, and even he had to give her some face.

Next, Du Shaojie spent a month's vacation with his wife and children. In the second half of the vacation, the family went to Shenzhen, where he also has a large flat, and now he lives here.

At the end of the holiday, Qi Yan, her daughter and the nanny flew directly from Shenzhen back to Beijing.

Shenzhen Airport was recently put into operation, ending the history of the Special Administrative Region without an airport. In the future, it will be more convenient to travel, and there is no need to transfer in Guangzhou, which saves a lot of trouble.

this day.

It was the day when the construction of Baiyun Villa District and Dun Resort started, and Du Shaojie arrived at the construction site early in the morning.

After he came back from Shenzhen, he had not paid attention to the progress of the project. The preliminary work was completed by Cai Jing, Ye Weiming, Dong Yushu and others. The land was not far away, at the foot of Baiyun Mountain, with beautiful scenery, and a sense of tranquility in a bustling city.

"Boss Du, you really do what you say. You don't care about it at all. This matter was not very smooth at the beginning, but later it was Leader Lin who gave the order to speed up the progress of the project."

After the groundbreaking ceremony, the project party arranged a banquet at White Swan.

Ye Weiming accompanied Cai Jing to greet the guests. Dong Yushu and Du Shaojie were free and sat down to drink and chat.

Dong Yushu said that the project was stuck at the beginning, and it was only later that Ye Weiming went to find Lin Zhiyuan to get it done.

Du Shaojie suddenly realized that he hadn't had dinner with Lin Zhiyuan for quite a long time. Also, he didn't know what he was busy with this year and he seldom visited Feng Qingsong.

This is certainly because Leader Feng is busy with official duties, but more importantly, it is because he is always out and about.

Du Shaojie nodded and did not continue to talk about Lin Zhiyuan. It was not appropriate to talk too much on this occasion. Dong Yushu obviously understood this truth and changed the subject to something else.

After dinner, he said hello to Cai Jing and others and left the hotel.

He called Secretary Tang in the car and the call was quickly connected.

"Boss Du, I was just about to call you. Tell me first, why did you suddenly think of me?"

"I'm just about to go visit my boss, and I'm just looking for you to find out when he's free. That's all I want to ask you, what about you? What do you want from me?"

"It's hard to explain things over the phone, how about coming out for a cup of tea?"

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

Afterwards, the two agreed on a location, and Du Shaojie asked Zou Xiaohe to turn around in front and head straight for the destination.

Only when they met did Tang Jun tell him the whole story.

"My boss kept talking about roasted whole lamb some time ago. I asked someone to bring some from Xijiang, but he was not satisfied. I said, why not ask Mr. Du to make it himself? But he scolded me."

"Why?"

Du Shaojie felt very puzzled. Given his relationship with Feng Qingsong, this was no big deal. Just tell him and he would definitely take care of it.

"The leader said that you are now successful and famous, so don't always bother you with such trivial matters."

Tang Jun seemed helpless, but he found that Feng Qingsong was still thinking about the [Roasted Whole Lamb], so he planned to talk to Du Shaojie privately.

I didn't expect to receive a call from the other party today.

"Boss Feng is really great. Cooking is my specialty. It's not a big deal. I have professional equipment for baking, or I can use the ancient baking method. You can choose one."

Du Shaojie disagreed and immediately decided to make a whole roasted lamb.

Tang Jun thought for a moment and said, "Why not just grill it over charcoal? I heard that the [Roasted Whole Lamb] made using the ancient method tastes better."

"That's settled then. I need to prepare and we'll contact each other by phone when the time comes."

When Du Shaojie got home, he called Xijiang.

In view of the previous experience, he asked the manager of Xijiang branch of Xichuan Restaurant to buy a slaughtered big-tailed sheep and to send someone to deliver it by plane and keep it refrigerated.

Two days later, the fresh big-tailed sheep were in hand, and Du Shaojie immediately informed Tang Jun.

Then he started to marinate, otherwise he would be too late. When he finished marinating the mutton, Tang Jun called and said Feng Qingsong had an hour around 7:30.

The place where Du Shaojie processes the big-tailed lamb is [Fish House], because it needs to be roasted using the traditional method, which is inconvenient in other places, so this place is the most suitable.

"Then we'll be there around 7:. Please pay attention to the environment to avoid any unnecessary trouble."

"Secretary Tang, don't worry. This place is closed at night. I have sent all the other employees away except for a few trusted ones."

"Ah, no wonder the boss didn't let me tell you, it really troubles you."

"Why should we be polite to each other? Let's leave it at that for now."

Du Shaojie had no choice but to make the decision to suspend business for half a day.

There are a lot of mixed people at the fish restaurant. How could he dare to let Feng Qingsong come over if he didn't clear the area?

As time was limited today, he used some tricks in the marinating and grilling process, but it did not affect the taste and texture of the dish.

After Feng Qingsong and his group arrived, the two sat in the self-service barbecue area and ate the [roasted whole lamb] while it was hot. There were no other dishes except a few seasonal vegetables, and the staple food was naan bread.

"Shaojie, your cooking skills are even better than before. The [Roast Whole Lamb] you make has the authentic taste, even better than what I've had before."

Feng Qingsong has been under a lot of pressure recently and his appetite has not been very good. It was a rare occasion that he ate a little more tonight.

He praised Du Shaojie's cooking skills highly, and recalled the little things that happened in Xijiang back then, he couldn't help but smile.

"If you want to eat something in the future, just call me. I can't say anything else, but I can still cook the authentic food of Xijiang."

The two chatted about some past events and an hour passed quickly.

Tang Jun and others also tasted the [Roasted Whole Lamb] made by Du Shaojie. Before leaving, Secretary Tang even gave him a thumbs up.

There was still a lot of roasted whole lamb left, so he called Wang Yongli, Zou Xiaohe, Xu Youlian, Peng Yongjun, Wu Dazhui and others over, and they ate barbecue and drank wine.

Du Shaojie just had dinner with Feng Qingsong and was not full at all. Eating meat and drinking wine is the perfect match.

"Boss Du, the [Roast Whole Lamb] you made is really delicious. Can you teach this technique to our chefs? If they can make it half as tasty as before, it will definitely be a big hit."

Wu Dazhu not only ate with relish, but also had new ideas for making money.

[Fish Restaurant] focuses not only on fish banquets, but barbecue has already accounted for half of the sales revenue and is even showing a trend of overtaking others.

Wu Dazhu wanted to ask Du Shaojie to teach the chefs here how to make "Roast Whole Lamb". He thought this dish would definitely be very popular and might even become the signature dish here in the future.

"Of course there is no problem in teaching you how to make this dish, but if the fish restaurant wants to make it, they can't use the traditional method like I do. They have to buy a special oven. Only in this way can the quality of the [Roast Whole Lamb] be guaranteed."

The traditional method of grilling over charcoal requires very high skills, while it is relatively easy to control the temperature in an oven.

Nowadays, if a restaurant makes [roast whole lamb], they basically won’t use the traditional method of roasting it over charcoal fire. After all, times are advancing, so why not use more suitable tools?
Wu Dazhu nodded repeatedly and even specially memorized details such as where to customize the oven.

After eating and drinking, Du Shaojie received a call from Ye Weiming and went to KTV to play for a while, and did not return home until the early morning.

"I can't stand these people. Each one can stay up later than the other."

Du Shaojie reeked of alcohol and felt better after taking a hot bath.

He actually doesn't like the so-called nightlife very much, but sometimes he has to accommodate his friends.

Then he lay down on the bed and slept until dawn.

"Mr. Du, according to the itinerary, you need to visit the car sales company today. I called Mr. Qi yesterday, and he will be waiting for you at the company today."

After Du Shaojie had breakfast, Luo Qin opened the memo and reminded him of today's schedule.

It's different after having a personal secretary, many things become organized.

Although Wang Yongli was his assistant, he was essentially the security director, and he was not good at other things. But Luo Qin was different, having graduated from a prestigious university and having administrative work experience, he handled these matters with ease.

"Then let's go."

Du Shaojie and Qi Biao did not deal with each other very often. After Dingxin International invested HK$1200 million in the other party's company, all subsequent matters were handled by Winnie and others, and he did not intervene again.

But just like inspecting his own stores, he will also randomly visit the companies in which he has a stake and will not leave them alone.

Money invested is like water spilled. You will never feel at ease unless you see it with your own eyes.

Later.

Du Shaojie, Luo Qin and others went to Qi Biao's car sales company together.

"Boss Qi, this is like a car city. It's really huge."

Du Shaojie hadn't been here for a long time, and the car sales company had already changed. The entire layout was comparable to the "4S store" he remembered, and even larger in scale. (End of this chapter)
