Return To 1998

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Xu Tongdao drove back to Ximen Road Internet Cafe No. 1 shop.

He returned to Shazhou during the day to learn about the progress of Li Xiaoshan's research in the past two days, as well as the research ideas and directions.

Although he gave Li Xiaoshan to research the new hot pot ingredients and other recipes, he didn't plan to be the shopkeeper.

He wants to keep abreast of every thought and progress of this research.

He also needs to master all the things that Li Xiaoshan has researched.

Because this is the core technology of his future hot pot restaurant.

Although Li Xiaoshan has signed a five-year employment agreement with a non-compete clause in the agreement, he is still not assured that this core technology will only be mastered by Li Xiaoshan.

Whether he is suspicious or careful, he has decided to do it anyway.

He has this time and the confidence to fully understand the new formula researched by Li Xiaoshan.

This confidence is of course derived from the fact that he had been a chef for several years before he was born again, and he has a technical foundation in relevant aspects.

And he didn't go to accompany Wu Yali tonight, but drove back to the city overnight and returned to the No. 1 Internet Cafe on Ximen Road. It is not that he is not greedy for Wu Yali.

I just want to finalize the decoration plan of the hot pot restaurant as soon as possible, determine a suitable decoration company as soon as possible, and start the decoration of the hot pot restaurant as soon as possible.

time is money!

The five houses he rented in the Chase Food Street have an annual rent of 250,000 yuan. The rent is quite a lot every day. Every time a day is delayed, all the money is lost.

only……

When he took his handbag and walked hurriedly into the gate of Ximen Road Internet Cafe 1, he saw his cousin Tan Shi sitting next to the cashier Hou Ying, chatting with Hou Ying.

He stopped in surprise.

When Tan Shi saw him, he was taken aback, and then he showed a smile, reached out his hand and pointed at the internet cafe, and whispered: "Xiaodao, look over there!"

What to look at?

Xu Tongdao looked in the direction of her fingers, but saw a familiar woman, Zeng Xueyi, standing behind a computer not far away.

Seeing where she got up, she should have been surfing the internet just now, and she was just right where she could see the door. At this moment, she stood up and smiled shyly at him, pushed away the chair behind her, and picked up the table. The leather bag on the top, twisting his waist, trot to this side quickly.

"After noon today, she came to us. I heard that you were not there, and she didn’t leave. She went online here. Until now, she didn’t even go out for dinner, so she bought a box of noodles in our internet cafe. With a bottle of mineral water, I think she is deliberately waiting for you to come back."

Tan Shi behind the cash register whispered to Xu Tongdao.

Xu Tongdao frowned slightly.

What does Zeng Xueyi want to do?

See too many movies? Or have you watched too many TV series?

I thought it would show her sincerity by blocking here like this? My Xu Tongdao will feel softened for a while and be moved by her behavior? Then let go of the decoration of the hot pot restaurant to her?

What are you thinking about?

I, Xu, seems to be such a softhearted person?

He wanted to leave and ignored the woman.

But thinking that she had waited here all afternoon and didn't even go out to eat dinner, he was really hard-hearted for a while and walked away.

He hesitated for a moment, Zeng Xueyi trot to him, with an unnatural smile squeezed out on his face, and stretched out her white hands, "Mr. Xu, I am very happy to meet you again. I didn't expect you to come back so late. What a hard work!"

To be honest, Xu Tongdao felt a little airy in his heart when he was rushed to please such a stunningly beautiful young woman and spoke cautiously.

It's cool.

He could see it too—Zeng Xueyi really wanted to take down his hot pot restaurant decoration business.

He praised her for such a spirit in his heart.

But also secretly shook his head in my heart.

He admired her spirit, but he did not shake his position.

To open a hot pot restaurant, there is no small risk for him.

Before his rebirth, the example of Haidilao and other hot pot restaurant chains told him-this line is very promising.

But reason told him that the hot pot industry and the Internet cafe industry are different.

Around 2000, it is almost impossible to lose money by opening an Internet cafe.

But if you open a hot pot restaurant, you may lose money at any time, because there are many competitors, and because the catering industry is too competitive. If you do well, you will make a lot of money. If you don’t do it well, you will lose money. .

Therefore, it is impossible for him to risk his own hot pot restaurant decoration.

Because you sympathized with Zeng Xueyi, so you gave her this business?

No!

He has sympathy, but in doing business, we should talk about reason, not emotion.

Business belongs to business, sympathy belongs to sympathy, he will not confuse it.

No, he stretched out his hand and shook hands with her, with a cold attitude, "Mr. Zeng is also very hard! Waited for me all afternoon here, I heard that you only ate a bucket of instant noodles at night, and you haven't gone to dinner? Then go to dinner. Come! Your body matters, don't be hungry! Go!"

Tan Shi and Hou Ying in the cash register were surprised.

Looked at Xu Tongdao unexpectedly.

The smile on Zeng Xueyi's face also stagnated, and the smile became more unnatural, and she grinned reluctantly, "Okay! Then... I don't know if I have the honor to invite you together? Mr. Xu, please give it to me. This opportunity! Please!"

Tongdao Xu shook his head, "Sorry! I have already eaten this evening, and I went out and ran for a day today. I was driving back and forth. I was tired. Mr. Zeng, please! I won't accompany you!"

After speaking, he raised his foot and walked to the top of the stairs.

Do not stay.

It’s said that women are like flowers, and men should pity and cherish flowers, but Zeng Xueyi’s flower is not his Xu Tongdao’s flower. The original owner of this flower is dead. Without the owner’s flower, it has withstood the wind and snow from the outside world. Normally, Xu Tongdao is not a Virgin, he is not interested and unable to shield every flower from wind and rain.

Zeng Xueyi turned around, looking disappointed at the back of Xu Tongdao striding away, trying to catch up, but couldn't muster the courage~www.readwn.com~ Tan Shi in the cash register gave a light sigh, got up and picked it up. When the three folders on the cash register passed by Zeng Xueyi, he raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder, softly comforting: "Zeng, it's getting late, you should go out for a meal, and then go back to rest early!"

Zeng Xueyi turned to look at her, smiling bitterly, "Okay! Thank you!"

"You're welcome! I didn't help you, see you later!"

Waving his hand, Tan Shi took the three folders in his hand and walked quickly to the top of the stairs.

She will also report to Xu Tongdao the decoration plans, renderings and quotations sent by the three decoration companies today.

...

Under Hou Ying's sympathetic gaze, Zeng Xueyi walked out the door of the Internet cafe sadly, and when she reached the courtyard door, she couldn't help but look back at the lit window on the second floor.

In Xixi's night breeze, the hair around her ear fluttered lightly, slightly messy.

The black jewel-like eyes are filled with distressing confusion and helplessness.
