"Hey, Brother Chao, you're still not off work so late!"

After finishing the charging cabinet issue, I went to the finance office for a look. It turned out that the venture capital funds were basically in place, so I signed some relevant documents and left.

Just as I went downstairs, I saw Yang Zhichao wandering around the front desk. I greeted him and was about to leave when he stopped me. I found a deserted place and stammered, "

"Did you ask Yu Li to introduce me to someone?"

"Is this happening?"

Li Zehua thought about it and seemed to have heard her mention introducing Youyou to Brother Chao. Was she so quick to act?

Curious to ask: "Have you met? How was the conversation?"

In his previous life, he went to Brother Chao's wedding, so he didn't have any impression of it. When he was reborn, Brother Chao was still running his dumpling restaurant in Shanghai.

She is raising a son alone, has lost her house, and looks much older.

"I'm looking for you because we haven't met before. You have to help me!"

The tall man, who weighed 180 kilograms, was hesitant when talking about this matter, and was not straightforward at all: "Yu Li said that we should have dinner together tomorrow night, but I have not prepared anything."

"It's not like we're going to the execution grounds, what preparations do we need?"

He had something else to do, so he said casually, "No one can tell you about feelings. Just tell me whether you saw the photo and whether you like it or not."

"What's the use of me liking someone? I have to be liked by others."

Yang Zhichao was anxious and held her back, "I don't care. You and Yu Li have to make it happen!"

"You're poisonous, aren't you?"

Li Zehua was not happy with it. "You are just playing fraud! What do you mean by guaranteed success?"

Then he reacted and said with a chuckle: "Are you interested?"

Brother Chao rarely showed any shyness, and the tough guy said shyly: "Yeah."

"Fuck, are you human?"

Li Zehua suddenly realized something was wrong and gestured: "You are about 1.8 meters tall, and it's questionable whether Youyou is 1.6 meters tall. The contrast is quite big!"

Brother Chao is a typical Northeastern man, burly and strong. Youyou seems to be from southern Anhui. She is a girl from the water town of Jiangnan. This!

It's a very confusing operation.

"Tsk tsk, I never knew you, with your thick eyebrows and big ears, actually liked this one."

He took the opportunity to make a few jokes before saying seriously, “You’re going to make it very difficult for me tomorrow night!
I have made an appointment with the investors to go fishing together. Your timing is perfect."

Brother Chao pursed his lips and said, "Then I'll let Yu Li take her fishing together."

"Don't."

Li Zehua was almost scared to death. Is that serious fishing?

They went there together, and when they got there, they found that Yu Li had a good temper by not beating him to death.

Kuang shook his head: "How can that be possible? This is your first meeting, so you have to find a formal occasion to have a meal, and Yu Li and I will help you.

You know what, with your conditions, if you stand there, I guess few girls can resist you."

"It's not as good as you say."

"must have!

After all, you are the vice president of the group. When the board meeting meets tomorrow morning, your annual salary including options will be over one million. You are tall and a bit handsome. Isn't this the typical tall, rich and handsome man?

Be confident, you can do it."

After the promotion, Yang Zhichao was obviously much more confident. Actually, he usually didn't do things like this. However, he was in his twenties and had never held a girl's hand.

Commonly known as Chi, Virgo.

After solving the major life issue, Brother Chao casually said, "By the way, my dad asked me to ask you, he said he wants to open a few more branches, you see."

"That's good, let's go."

Li Zehua had heard him say that since he got the upper hand from the food, the dumpling restaurant business at his home had been getting better and better, and he even called in relatives from his hometown in Northeast China to help.

"Go back and say hello to Qin Lang, and include your uncle's store in the first batch of restaurant chain plans. The company will also invest part of the money. You can make money by selling Northeast dumplings with braised pork bones and takeout bags."

After saying that, I felt something was wrong, "Hey, isn't your family going to buy a house? Do you have money to open a branch?"

"Hehe, my parents said that they have only been with you for a few months, and you have made so much money, the ancestors' graves must be filled with smoke.

I want to save some money for my wife while I can still work."

Brother Chao is very satisfied with his current life. "Besides, this is also a pilot test for the company. I have told my dad that the company can do whatever it wants.

It’s always easier to manipulate something you own than someone else’s. As long as the company’s policies can be successfully implemented, it doesn’t matter whether the dumpling restaurant makes money or not.”

"fart."

Li Zehua pointed at him and said, "What nonsense, do you think running a restaurant chain is just playing house?

It doesn’t matter whether you make money or not. If you think this way, buy a house as soon as possible and live a stable life.”

He then explained earnestly: “The essence of the catering plan is to allow more people to benefit from it, with individual owners investing in it with their labor and cooking skills.

The company comes up with plans and provides traffic for promotion, and the landlord and the three parties contribute money and effort together. Only in this way can we build scale and establish systems and save costs so that we can better serve consumers in terms of ingredients and taste.

You are all senior executives of the company, and this is your level of awareness? Your family loses money when investing, what do others think?
If you don’t know, you might think that they ate it to cheat their own people.”

Yang Zhichao was scolded but did not get angry. He smiled and said, "I will listen to you."

"I'm free, so I asked my uncle to pay more attention to my colleagues. Aren't there a lot of people in your Northeast who are willing to venture out?

If possible, go back to your hometown to promote yourself and see if there are any good chefs out there, and spend more time on the ingredients.

Without saying anything else, let's set a small goal first. Is it not too much to unify the Northeastern dumpling market in Shanghai?"

For Li Zehua, anything can be successfully transformed into business, even Yang Zhichao's family is no exception.

Brother Chao nodded seriously, obviously taking the matter to heart and planning to discuss it with his parents when he got back.

Anyway, the old couple are at home now, talking about Mr. Li all the time, and his status in the family has plummeted.

"Okay, it's getting late, you should go back early, I'll take care of the arrangements tomorrow and come back early.

Also, remember to say hello to your uncle and aunt for me. I will treat them to a meal when they return from Guangdong."

A good fishing trip at sea was ruined, but brother’s business was more important, so he did not forget to give Yang Zhichao some instructions before leaving.

"I will go to East Guangdong the day after tomorrow. Mr. Gu and Mr. Zeng are in charge of the company. You can take some time to go to Jinling and Chengdu and lead the marketing department to set up the local branch.

Mr. Zeng has old connections there, show off your drinking ability and fighting ability, and try to knock them all down."

"That's no problem. Recently, some good guys have come to my hometown. They can't drink as much as you, but they can easily drink two or three kilograms.

I will bring them all this time, so that they will avoid me when they meet next time."

Brother Chao patted his chest so loudly that it shook the heavens, and it was not an exaggeration at all.

Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly felt something was wrong, "Hey, where's your car? Do you want me to give you a ride?"

"No, you go first."

After sending him away, he went back to the front desk and knocked on the table. "Call the logistics car team and arrange a car to pick me up."

During this period, the company has purchased a number of vehicles, most of which are Audi and Volkswagen.

There is also a Mercedes-Benz s350 and an Audi a8 as special concierge reception cars.

If you register it under the company name, you can deduct taxes and turn it into fixed assets, which is very cost-effective.

Don’t think that you don’t have to pay taxes just because Hummingbird is at a loss. It’s only been half a month, and the Shanghai market alone can contribute two to three million in revenue every day.

This number is still growing rapidly. After all, Zhongtong’s Magic City business and part of Shentong’s business were also successfully acquired by Hummingbird.

In other words, the staff training and division of labor have not been completed yet. Once things stabilize, the express delivery business in Modu alone will have hundreds of thousands of orders a day.

The marketing department and the express delivery department have recently joined hands to launch the same-city express parcel delivery business. Relying on the advantage of a large number of personnel, the business has just started with two to three hundred orders a day.

The starting price for express delivery is 3 yuan per kilometer, and the weight is calculated separately. It’s great.

In addition to the errand business for cake, flower and gift shops, and the purchasing business for large and small supermarkets and pharmacies, all aspects are developing smoothly.

While I was thinking, A8 stopped at the gate of the park, and the driver of the company's transfer car team came to greet me respectfully.

I took a look at the text message and found that I hadn't received it yet, so I decided to go to the area near my old rental house, since the hotel was there anyway...

"Uncle Zhang, are you busy?"

As night falls, the night market barbecue city starts to get busy. A few friends get together to drink, play finger-guessing games and eat barbecue skewers. This is life.

Zhang Zhengwu was busy arranging ingredients for his apprentices. Ever since Li Zehua helped him, his barbecue stall quickly became popular.

As a typical example of traffic support, coupled with the secret sauce, it is hard for the business not to be popular.

In just over a month, his business has expanded several times. Not only does he have an independent night market storefront, he has also invited the barbecue chef who originally learned the art to become his partner. Chizume also holds a stake, and has sent a special cashier to supervise. At the same time, he continues to recruit apprentices, ready to expand the business at any time.

The Logistics and Purchasing Department also sends people to learn and explore from time to time, and prepares to unify the management of barbecue stall ingredients, equipment, etc.

The food supply that Li Zehua used to impress restaurant owners started from the night market, and now he slaughters a lot of cows every day.

The next step is to form an industrial chain, upgrading from primary raw material distribution to processed semi-processing industrial chain.

Take barbecue as an example. From charcoal fire equipment, tables and chairs, to decoration style, various seasonings (packets), and skewers of various raw materials, we are all trying to form a one-stop service.

You have to do it if you are a normal person, willing to work hard and have a certain financial foundation (the financial pressure of a full-package package is too great).

To have a certain level of cooking skills, you must at least know how to control the heat, know when to add what seasoning, and be able to persevere through it with hard work and perseverance.

Then Zumei can let him open a barbecue restaurant. Zumei can provide all the ingredients and raw materials needed to open a store, ensuring that the ingredients are fresh and healthy.

By providing online and offline traffic support, such a store can be ensured not to lose money no matter where it is opened in the future.

Now that we are in the initial stage of development, the first things to be solved are the issues of personnel, venues and supply chain construction.

Li Zehua is not in a hurry, he has plenty of time to perfect the plan.

When he arrived, the barbecue restaurant was already doing very good business. After greeting the cashier at the front desk, he went straight to the kitchen, where he saw Zhang Zhengwu, who was teaching his apprentices to grill skewers.

"Good job, it looks like this group will be able to start their career soon."

Zhang Zhengwu was very happy to see him coming. He didn't care about the grease on his hands and started to pull him out for a few drinks.

"You haven't been here for a while, Xiaolian. Take out the good wine in my cabinet."

Invited to the private room, with the air conditioner on, Zhang Zhengwu asked excitedly, "How is it, is it okay?
I am also planning to build one next to it. I am talking to the landlord. I recently found a few Chongqing chefs who all came from my hometown. I will build a Chongqing grilled fish restaurant. What do you think?"

Li Zehua didn't really understand this, and asked curiously, "Why not put them together?"

"I've considered it before, but there's not enough space, and it's hard for consumers to handle too many specialties in one store, so it's better to separate them."

After not seeing him for many days, Zhang Zhengwu seemed like a different person, not only in his clothes but also in his temperament.

Although he worked hard before, there was always sadness between his brows. Now he is full of hope.

Seeing his old friend change so much, Li Zehua was also happy, "By the way, has Miaomiao taken it over?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhengwu took out his cell phone and said, "Mom, bring Miaomiao to the store quickly. Something's going on. It's a good thing. I'll be waiting for you here. Hurry up."

Turning to Li Zehua, he said, "Miaomiao has been here for half a month. I knew you were busy, so I didn't dare to disturb you. But today I happen to be free, so I'll bring the child to you to take a look."

"We are old friends, and we are still talking about this."

Seeing that he might even shed tears to express his gratitude if he continued to talk, he quickly said, "Bring me a bottle of wine. We two brothers are close friends, so let's have a drink together."

"Just one bottle?"

Zhang Zhengwu opened his mouth to invite him, but when he learned that he had something to do in the evening, he didn't force him and just said that he would give him a chance next time and the whole family would treat him to dinner together.

Li Zehua naturally would not refuse.

"Look at me. I haven't brought any snacks after talking for so long. Wait for me. I'll be right there."

Zhang Zhengwu turned around and left. A voice came from behind: "Remember to add some sausage."

This familiar scene almost made him cry, and he nodded heavily and said, "Hey!"

"Life is getting better day by day, it's good."

Looking through the simple window, I saw the room was full of guests, toasting each other, and I was stunned for a moment.

Miaomiao was still a little girl who had just arrived in the big city of Shanghai from Henan Province. Everything she saw was curious and she kept staring at Li Zehua.

He was quite timid and only dared to look but not come up. His voice was also soft.

"What do you mean by going to the hospital for a checkup?"

Li Zehua was equally curious about her. She had a small bald head and a slightly pale complexion, but her pair of big, lively eyes were particularly endearing.

I had only seen the photo twice in my previous life, once as a smiling little girl in a color frame, and the other time, in a small white frame.

Speaking of this, Zhang Zhengwu smiled from the bottom of his heart, "I asked experts to take a look, and they all said that the problem is not serious, and I will do conservative treatment first. It is a bit expensive, but the effect is good.

There are no sequelae yet, and as long as you pay more attention in the future, the chance of recurrence is not high."

He didn't say what disease it was, but it was obvious that a girl of eleven or twelve years old would shave her head.

"Quick, call me brother! This is the benefactor of our whole family."

Zhang Zhengwu finished his glass of wine, pulled the child up to show it to Li Zehua, and almost made the latter kneel down to thank him.

He was so frightened that he quickly advised: "Don't scare the child, how can you be a father like this.

Don't do this, if you keep doing this I'll leave and never come again."

He said it with his mouth, but his hands were not slow in action.

He took out his wallet, took out a stack of money without counting it, and stuffed it into the child's arms, "This is a little gift for sister Miaomiao, brother, you must accept it."

The child's grandmother was there too. She looked very old and refused to take the child in.

Even though she is not well educated, her whole family are sentimental and caring people.

Two months ago, my son was struggling to run a fried rice and noodle stall in Shanghai, making two to three thousand yuan a month, and more than half of it was spent on his child's medical treatment.

I'm numb to all the hardship and fatigue. Who made the family's favorite child be born with such a miserable life?

But I never thought that not long after, when my son called me, his voice had changed. He kept saying that he was lucky and had met a noble person.

What a noble person!

When the whole family came here half a month ago, they couldn’t believe that this was still the son who worked hard to earn money by running a small stall?
I almost couldn't recognize him. Not only did he run a barbecue restaurant with dozens of employees, but he could also earn tens of thousands of dollars in dividends every month. I couldn't even imagine this in the past!

After listening to her son's story, the child's grandmother couldn't stop praying to God late at night these days, hoping that good people would be rewarded.

He even lit the incense burner he brought from his hometown for Li Zehua every day.

Pray for blessings from all the gods and Buddhas!

"Okay, okay, someone just called me and I have something to do. We'll drink together next time."

Taking advantage of the ringing of his cell phone, Li Zehua smiled at the little girl and waved before leaving. "Miaomiao, next time when I'm free, I'll take you to the amusement park."

Having said that, he slipped away as if escaping.

He just couldn't stand this kind of occasion, as if he was born to be uncomfortable with it. He didn't even have time to say a few words to Miaomiao the whole time.

However, he didn't know that his image, from this moment on, was deeply imprinted in Miaomiao's mind and he could never forget it.

Zhang Zhengwu took his family to the roadside and watched him get on the bus before turning back...

"Boss, this is the room card. I live in the hotel across the street. You can call me anytime if you need anything."

At the entrance of a five-star hotel, Zhang Tao handed over the room card, turned around and left without any hesitation.

"This guy, but I am very satisfied."

I got on the elevator and swiped my card to enter in one go. I saw the table was filled with delicious food. It was obvious that Zhang Tao had informed the hotel in advance.

Even the lighting in the room was specially adjusted to be just the right dimness, and the sounds coming from the shower room made people swallow subconsciously.

"It's almost half past nine and we haven't had dinner yet."

After a busy day, Li Zehua's stomach was already growling with hunger before he had time to eat a single bite.

I was at the barbecue restaurant just now, and I was so busy chatting that I drank a lot of wine and didn’t even have time to eat a few peanuts. I’m hungry.

As he spoke, he took off his clothes. He was sweating a lot after running all day. "The weather in Shanghai is too hot."

Although I said I was hungry, my legs and feet unconsciously walked towards the shower room. The room was very big, with three living rooms, one large and two small, and many rooms, and the sound insulation was perfect.

I took off my shoes and walked barefoot on the wool blanket, and there was no sound at all.

"Yeah~"

As the door of the shower room was opened, there was no beauty coming out of the bath as imagined, but instead there was a large embedded bathtub next to the window.

Lin Qingyi was lazily blowing bubbles, her whole body hidden in the milky white ocean, looming.

There was a glass of red wine not far away.

When I saw her, I would look up from time to time to overlook the entire night view of the Magic City. The flowing lights and colorful lights echoed each other, which was beautiful beyond words.

It’s just that the scenery here is even better, like a dream.

As she was lost in the intoxication, she heard the door open, turned around and looked frankly.

Ah~ a cry of surprise.

She turned her head as if to avoid it, wanting to refuse but still shy, and then a figure fell in, splashing water... (End of this chapter)
