Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Du Shaojie booked a room in the hotel in advance, so he didn't have to leave at night. After drinking enough, he would go back to his room and sleep until the next day.

The era of starting with one word has passed, and the era of starting with two words has quietly arrived.

Du Shaojie returned to Guangzhou with his family after New Year's Day. Wang Yuxiu and Xiaomei came to his new villa to discuss arrangements for the New Year.

Actually, there is not much to say about this matter. Everyone comes here mainly to eat the dishes cooked by Chef Du.

"Brother, I heard that you don't cook much at home now. This is not good. You need to practice your cooking skills regularly so that they won't become rusty, right?"

Xiaomei and Qi Yan helped him in the kitchen. After all, it was a family dinner and outsiders should not interfere.

According to the taste of his family, Du Shaojie cooked authentic Cantonese cuisine today. After all, his family has taken root in the south, and they usually eat Cantonese cuisine the most.

He planned to cook all Teochew dishes, and just one dish of pickled food took him a lot of time and thought.

"Just say you're hungry, isn't that enough? Hurry up and don't delay me from cooking."

Du Shaojie responded with a smile and then started cooking.

Thanks to the thorough preparation in advance, it didn’t take long before delicious dishes were served on the table.

This table of food is both delicious food and a work of art. It is a pleasure to look at.

"Eat it all, why are you standing there?"

Wang Yuxiu saw that everyone was just staring at the food without eating, so she said something.

Several people finally reacted and started to move.

"Brother, your cooking skills have improved again."

Xiaomei took a few bites of the food with an intoxicated expression on her face.

She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she felt that her brother’s cooking skills had improved a lot.

Du Shaojie smiled and shook his head without saying anything. His cooking skills have reached the ceiling at this stage and there is no room for improvement. If he wants to go further, he has to achieve a breakthrough.

It’s a pity that he hasn’t found an opportunity to break through until now.

The family was having a good time while chatting about trivial matters. When everyone had almost finished eating, Wang Yuxiu told them about moving the grave of Du Shaojie's father before Qingming Festival.

"Then I have to go back. Three to five days off will be enough."

Xiaomei didn't know about this before, and her mother and brother didn't tell her.

She would definitely go back at that time, so after dinner she quickly called her sister Xiaoya.

Xiaoya is not like Xiaomei. Xiaomei has someone in the industry who takes care of her, so no one would make things difficult for her for small matters like asking for leave. But Xiaoya is not like that. She is just average in the archives, and her boss is particularly difficult to talk to.

"Sister, I'll try my best when the time comes. If it really doesn't work, I'll take two days of sick leave."

Xiaoya wasn't sure, so the two sisters chatted for a while and then ended the call.

Xiaomei sat there in silence for a long time. Her sister Xiaoya never told her about things at work, but she could feel that she was very unhappy.

Qi Yan and her daughter returned to Beijing soon. Du Shaojie sent them to the airport and took a detour to look for Sun Haitao on the way back. The family had dinner together that day. Although Sun Haitao did not act abnormally, he spoke very little.

Du Shaojie saw that the other party was worried and prepared to ask him in person.

"Brother, why are you here? Wait for me, I'll go and tell them. I'll treat you to lunch at noon."

Sun Haitao seemed very happy to meet Du Shaojie.

He is the financial director of the unit and has good relationships with people. He can leave work early by just saying hello and no one will bother him.

Du Shaojie waited for a while, and when Sun Haitao came out, the two got in the car and went to the private restaurant together. The environment here is very quiet and private.

The food and wine were served, and the two ate, drank and chatted.

Since Sun Haitao had to work in the afternoon, he did not drink white wine at noon, but ordered a bottle of red wine.

After three rounds of drinks, Du Shaojie made his intention clear:
"Haitao, have you been worried recently? We are family, if you encounter any difficulties, you can talk to me."

"Brother, did you figure it out? Well, I'm worried about the company. Last year, the company changed its leader. This one is quite bold and brought a lot of trouble to the financial work."

Sun Haitao did not hide anything and told every detail about the troubles he encountered at work.

My brother-in-law is not an ordinary person. If I tell him about it, I can get his advice.

"So that's what happened, Haitao. You might as well resign. If you continue working, you might get implicated. You must make sure to clean up the mess before you leave. Do you understand me?"

He had a very good impression of Sun Haitao. This guy was definitely a second-generation rich man, but he didn't have any bad habits. He worked and lived a down-to-earth life. It can only be said that Xiaomei had a good vision at the time.

But looking at it from another perspective, my brother-in-law has a soft personality and is not someone who can accomplish great things.

In this regard, Sun Haitao is not as good as Shen Rui. Shen Rui has a strong personality and can let go at critical moments, so he developed quickly after resigning.

But personally, he likes Sun Haitao more. "Ah? Do I really need to resign? I've thought about it. If the company continues to run like this, something bad will happen. If something goes wrong, others may not have any problems, but I, who's in charge of finance, will be the one that can't escape."

Sun Haitao's mind is still very clear, but he is not decisive enough in doing things, otherwise he would not have been so annoyed during this period.

Du Shaojie's words just gave him a push, and he felt that he should have a good talk with his wife.

After dinner, Sun Haitao went to work as usual. When he got home in the evening, he talked to Xiaomei about the work at work and also told her about his brother-in-law's advice.

"My brother asked you to resign, why are you still hesitating? It's right to listen to my brother. Haitao, I work in a bank and have seen a lot of things. It's right for you to avoid the vortex of right and wrong as soon as possible."

Xiaomei agreed with her brother's suggestion. She didn't want her man to get involved in work.

Besides, the family is not short of money. Why can't Sun Haitao do anything else after resigning? Why does he have to hang himself on a tree?
Sun Haitao nodded and made up his mind to resign.

the next day.

He submitted his resignation.

Many leaders in the unit tried to keep him, but he had made up his mind and would not change it.

The company was helpless and approved Sun Haitao's resignation report, but asked him to make a good handover. This was also his idea, and it took him a full half month to leave completely.

Sun Haitao didn't want to stay idle at home, so he planned to open a teahouse.

A teahouse is not a business that makes a lot of money, but if it is managed properly, it can still be a problem to maintain the normal expenses of a family.

Du Shaojie secretly gave Xiaomei some money, and Sun Zhenguo also gave his son some sponsorship. Sun Haitao and Xiaomei bought a two-story storefront. The total area of ​​the upper and lower floors was nearly 400 square meters, and then they spent another sum of money on decoration.

Sun Haitao’s teahouse has a considerable investment and the overall environment is good.

It happened that Tang Jun wanted to talk to Du Shaojie that day, so Du Shaojie invited him here.

"Boss Du, is this your brother-in-law's teahouse? It's well decorated. You can come and sit down when you're free."

When Tang Jun heard that the teahouse was opened by Du Shaojie's brother-in-law, he became interested and planned to introduce it to his acquaintances.

Of course, this was just a small episode, and he had other matters to discuss with the other party.

"Mr. Du, I remember that the resort project was originally funded by you and two other shareholders. Why did you sell the resort later?"

Tang Jun basically didn't go to the resort before because there were too many people there and it was nicknamed a "gold-consuming den". He was worried about the bad influence.

But no matter what, the previous resort was doing legitimate business, not like the current chaotic situation.

It was obviously a cash cow, so he was curious why Du Shaojie, Ye Weiming and others gave up? Today was a rare opportunity, so he asked casually.

"At the beginning, President Dong was transferred to the headquarters, and the new President Tang decided to sell the resort's shares. In fact, from that time on, the crisis of the resort quietly came.

Mr. Ye and I thought that although the resort business was good, there were too many troubles, so we simply transferred the project. Fortunately, we sold it at a high price at the time, so it was not a loss. "

Du Shaojie explained the inside story of the matter in detail, and Tang Jun nodded in understanding.

"So, you've completely cleared up the resort and have tied up all the loose ends?"

"It's all cleaned up. There's a [Seafood Restaurant] of mine over there that's still open, but it has nothing to do with the resort. It's just renting a house for business."

As the conversation deepened, a strange feeling arose in Du Shaojie's heart.

For some reason, he always felt that something was going to happen at the resort.

"It doesn't matter if you just open a restaurant, but it's best not to have anything to do with Tan Zheng. In fact, there are many places to do business. You can just move the [Seafood Restaurant] store away."

This is not just a hint by Tang Jun, it is an explicit statement.

At this point, Du Shaojie was already certain that the resort or that guy Tan Zheng was in trouble.

Once there are changes in the resort, the restaurant business will also be greatly affected, so it is better to make plans early.

"Yeah, I'll think about it."

Du Shaojie didn't say much, so Tang Jun stopped talking.

The two chatted about other things for a while, and then Tang Jun said goodbye and left in a hurry.

Du Shaojie then called Xiao Jianjun and Yu Jianxin and asked them to find an excuse to stop the operation of the Seafood House resort store and move as soon as possible.

As for the new store, everything can wait and we will move out first.

Yu Jianxin and Xiao Jianjun were confused, but Du Shaojie did not explain and just told them to do it immediately.

Over the years, Du Shaojie rarely made a decision without consultation. The two did not dare to neglect it, and two days later they issued a notice to suspend business, using the excuse of renovation.

There are still a few months of rent left for the storefront, but it doesn’t matter. He believes that Tang Jun will not sit around and tease others.

Since the store was going to be renovated, everything in it was quickly moved out, even the kitchen equipment was removed. (End of this chapter)
