Diary of the life of a working wizard

"Long time no see, Brother Qiang!" Xia Yunjie patted Ren Yongqiang's shoulder affectionately.

"No, please don't, you call me like that and I feel so panicked, you still call me Xiaoqiang!" Ren Yongqiang said in a panic as Xia Yunjie called him so hard that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

"Haha! You are the big boss now!" Xia Yunjie laughed.

"In front of you, Brother Jie, I will always be the good-for-nothing little bastard I was before!" Ren Yongqiang said modestly. Xia Yunjie smiled when he heard this and stopped being polite to Ren Yongqiang. Ren Yongqiang drove a big black Mercedes-Benz. When he got to the parking place, he put the salute on the car and drove all the way to Dongcheng District.

The first branch of Renjia Hotel was opened in Dongcheng District. Dongxicheng District is the real center of Beijing, and every inch of land is extremely valuable. Ren Yongqiang opened the first branch of Renjia Hotel in Dongcheng District, not only spending a huge amount of money, but also investing a lot of energy and effort. At the same time, it is not difficult to see Ren Yongqiang’s strong aspirations and ambitions from the fact that he opened his first branch in Dongcheng District.

Perhaps it was because he had tasted the sweetness of purchasing Renjia Villa Hotel in Qingshan Lake, or perhaps it was because of his blind trust in Xia Yunjie’s physiognomy. It should be said that the latter factor was more important. Therefore, although the housing prices in Beijing were very expensive, Ren Yongqiang still chose to purchase the hotel. It's not a rental business.

Of course, the strength of Renjia Hotel was not enough to purchase a high-rise building in Dongcheng District. Instead, it purchased a five-story hotel with a Chinese-style architecture and poor management through a bank loan. After purchasing it, Ren Yongqiang renovated it. Nowadays, under the lights at night, the antique style of Renjia Hotel still reveals a touch of nobility and luxury. The three characters "Renjia Cuisine" are engraved on the blue brick wall. The sky is powerful and reveals the vicissitudes of history.

Ren Yongqiang asked Feng Wenbo to write these three words, and then carved them on the blue brick wall.

Feng Wenbo is a real old Chinese medicine doctor, and his calligraphy is not inferior to that of some famous calligraphers.

The Renjia Villa Hotel only specializes in catering and currently does not have the strength to operate accommodation, so the first to fourth floors are restaurants open to the public. Half of the fifth floor is a super luxury box specially designed for Xia Yunjie, and the other half is the hotel's administrative office.

Ren Yongqiang originally wanted to take Xia Yunjie and the others to a nearby hotel to settle down, take a short rest and then take them to Ren's hotel for dinner. However, Xia Yunjie didn't want to go back and forth, and he also wanted to see how the Ren's Hotel was doing now, so Ren Yongqiang had to take them to the Ren's Hotel first.

"Not bad, not bad. Although the hotel is not big, it is antique and quite stylish." After getting out of the car, he stood on the stone-paved passage with green trees on both sides, looking at the Ren Family Hotel a few meters away. Xia Yunjie nodded in approval.

"Not bad, many decorations inside and outside the hotel are Yongqiang's ideas." Zhu Xiaoyan said.

"Oh, I don't know, Xiaoqiang, you are quite accomplished in architectural decoration!" Xia Yunjie glanced at Ren Yongqiang in surprise.

"My grandma also left some hand-drawn paintings of the restaurants run by our ancestors. In fact, I just copied some of the styles of the restaurants run by our ancestors." Ren Yongqiang said modestly.

"That's not bad, but we need to make some changes to the Feng Shui pattern. I'll tell you about it later during dinner, so that the whole hotel will look more natural and people will feel extra comfortable when they come in." Xia Yunjie He patted Ren Yongqiang's shoulder and said.

"With Brother Jie's help in setting up the Feng Shui pattern, it will be difficult to do business well." Ren Yongqiang said excitedly after hearing this.

"Haha, the Feng Shui pattern is just the icing on the cake. The most important thing is the quality of your dishes and service." Xia Yunjie said with a smile and stepped into the hotel.

The tall receptionist at the door naturally recognized Ren Yongqiang, Shao Lihong and Zhu Xiaoyan, the three bosses, but not Xia Yunjie. When they saw the two beautiful bosses accompanying Xia Yunjie, while boss Ren was smiling and leading the way, they were all secretly surprised. They didn't know what Xia Yunjie's background was, so he could be accompanied by three bosses.

When Xia Yunjie arrived at the hotel, it was almost ten o'clock, but the hotel's business was still booming. Standing in the lobby, he could still hear the noise of talking and clinking glasses coming from the restaurant.

After all, it is a hotel that both wives are involved in running, so Xia Yunjie is quite interested in the first branch of Ren Family Hotel in the capital. After entering the lobby, he didn't rush to take the special elevator to the fifth floor. Instead, he asked Ren Yongqiang to take him around starting from the first floor and going up one level at a time.

"Xiaoqiang, why did you get a special box again? It's just Jiangzhou City. I may go there once or twice every now and then. I estimate that I rarely come to the capital once a year. It's such a waste to leave a box for me." ." Xia Yunjie said when Ren Yongqiang led Xia Yunjie to the Emperor's Hall on the fifth floor.

"Yes, Sister Hong and I said the same thing. But Yongqiang insists, so we have to let him go." Zhu Xiaoyan interjected.

"It's needed, it's needed. Which hotel these days wouldn't leave a special box for the boss, just in case something happens. Brother Jie is the person I respect the most, Bald Qiang, so naturally I have to reserve a special box. Even if you don't come. , in case friends come to the capital or friends from the capital come to the hotel for dinner, you must leave a private room just in case something happens." Ren Yongqiang said seriously.

As the saying goes, only flattery can never be worn. As long as a person is a person, he always likes to hear good things. Xia Yunjie is also a person of flesh and blood, so naturally he is no exception. Moreover, he can also see that Bald Qiang’s words come from the heart, and it is not only It was just flattering on the surface, so I let him go. After all, it's my wife and Bald Qiang's hotel, and it's not a waste of taxpayers' money. As long as everyone is happy, they can do whatever they like.

"Haha, then it's up to you. Don't blame me for losing money when the time comes." Xia Yunjie joked.

"Haha, Brother Jie, didn't you say that I have good fortune? It would be difficult to lose money!" Ren Yongqiang said with a smile.

"Haha, you Xiaoqiang, if you say this, it would seem that I am not accurate if you lose money." Xia Yunjie pointed at Ren Yongqiang and laughed happily.

"I don't dare to mean that." Ren Yongqiang scratched his head.

Seeing Ren Yongqiang, a big boss, scratching his bald head, Xia Yunjie and the other two laughed.

While they were joking, the three of them found a small seat by the window and sat down. Ren Yongqiang apologized and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook himself. When Brother Jie came here to dine, Ren Yongqiang naturally had to cook himself. "Let your apprentice cook it. The food you cook is delicious, but other dishes will be hard to swallow after eating it. You'd better sit down and talk to us. I heard Sister Hong and Sister Yan say, Thank you for your hard work these days." Xia Yunjie smiled and pointed to the seat next to him and called out to Ren Yongqiang.

"It's not hard work. I can do a career I like and make a lot of money. I enjoy it every day!" Ren Yongqiang said flattered.

"Haha, just be happy. It doesn't matter how much money you have. The most important thing is to be happy. Come on, sit down, sit down. How many drinks will we two brothers have today?" Xia Yunjie pointed to the seat next to him again and said.

Ren Yongqiang was so excited that his face turned red when he saw Xia Yunjie smiling broadly and calling him a brother. However, no matter how excited he was, Ren Yongqiang was still cautious when he sat down.

Many dishes had been prepared in advance when Ren Yongqiang went to pick up Xia Yunjie, so after the four of them sat down, the food and drinks were served soon.

While eating food and drinking wine, Xia Yunjie began to talk to Ren Yongqiang about some changes in the hotel's layout. Although the changes Xia Yunjie mentioned seemed insignificant and simple, Ren Yongqiang carefully wrote them down one by one.

We chatted while eating, and after Xia Yunjie finished talking about some modifications to the hotel's layout, he was full of wine and food.

"It's getting late, let's go back to the hotel and rest. Oh, by the way, prepare yourself tomorrow night. I will treat some friends from Yanjing to dinner." Xia Yunjie stood up and said.

"Okay, Brother Jie, I will prepare carefully. But the Han Zhenlin I mentioned to you the day before yesterday, although he rejected him according to your wishes, he still didn't give up and wanted to make an appointment with us again..." Xia Yunjie mentioned Tomorrow night, Ren Yongqiang remembered what Han Zhenlin said before leaving last night, and couldn't help but worry.

"Tell him there's nothing to discuss about that matter. Oh, by the way, you won't have to come to the hotel for pick-up and drop-off tomorrow. I'll arrange the arrangements myself." Xia Yunjie interrupted with a wave of his hand.

When Ren Yongqiang saw that Xia Yunjie waved his hand to reject it, he did not dare to mention the matter any more. He thought that he would talk to Shao Lihong and Zhu Xiaoyan about it in detail another day. If it really doesn't work, I have no choice but to go home.

Poor Ren Yongqiang still doesn't know who Xia Yunjie is hosting tomorrow's banquet, and he doesn't even know that the person who will pick up Xia Yunjie tomorrow was originally Director Qu of a special department, but was later changed to his son Qu Leng because Xia Yunjie didn't want to affect his work. Otherwise, Ren Yongqiang would have forgotten Han Zhenlin long ago.

Bars usually get really busy after dark, and hotels usually only get busy at noon, so Shao Lihong and Zhu Xiaoyan still didn't completely change their work and rest schedules. They kept pestering Xia Yunjie until three o'clock in the morning the next day. get up. After getting up and having breakfast, he went downstairs to the lobby. Qu Leng, who looked almost exactly like his father and never seemed to have any expression on his face, was already waiting in the lobby. But when Qu Leng saw Xia Yunjie and the others coming out, the face that made people doubt that his expression would ever change actually "smiled", but the "smile" was a bit weird, and Shao Lihong and Zhu Xiaoyan saw him smiling at him. When people came, they felt as if there was an eerie cold wind blowing over them.

"Teacher Xia, good morning. You and your friends, please wait a moment. I'll bring the car over right away." Qu Leng walked up and bowed respectfully.

"No need to go to such trouble, let's walk there together." Xia Yunjie said.

"Yes, please come this way." Qu Leng responded respectfully, and then led Xia Yunjie and the others to the parking place.

After leaving the lobby, there were no outsiders. Xia Yunjie introduced Zhu Xiaoyan and Shao Lihong with a smile: "Lihong, Xiaoyan, his name is Qu Leng, and he is a junior in our school."

"So your name is Qu Leng. You live up to your name. I just saw you in the lobby. You look like a cold killer in the movie." Zhu Xiaoyan has a lively and straightforward personality. I heard that the face of the person in front of me is as cold as a zombie. The young man turned out to be Xia Yunjie's junior, but Aiwu Jiwu no longer thought he was cold, and joked after hearing this.

Although Qu Leng looks cold and dull on the surface, he is actually very smart. When he saw Xia Yunjie, Shao Lihong, and Zhu Xiaoyan walking out of the lobby talking and laughing, he guessed that these two women should be the great uncles of the Grand Master. , now that Xia Yunjie introduced himself without hesitation, he confirmed this even more. After hearing this, he hurriedly bowed to the two of them and said: "Qu Leng has met the two great-aunts. Please forgive me for the inconvenience in the lobby just now."

Qu Leng's "uncle" almost made Zhu Xiaoyan and Shao Lihong tremble, and their eyes widened. How could they have imagined that Xia Yunjie's so-called junior would be so "late"! The two of them were only a few years older than Qu Leng at most, but they suddenly became a level higher than grandmother level.
