A Journey Beginning in a Siheyuan

Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao were very dissatisfied with this hospital-wide dinner.

Especially He Yuzhu.

Xu Damao felt that He Yuzhu deliberately made them look embarrassed, and Liu Haizhong agreed very much.

Especially the small businesses that He Yuzhu mentioned made Xu Damao very angry. He did not expect that He Yuzhu had so much money and invested in so many things.

Of course, He Yuzhu only talked about a small part of the investment and did not reveal much, but this was enough to surprise everyone in the compound.

After knowing that He Yuzhu was such a successful person, people in the compound who wanted to find jobs and do business immediately found He Yuzhu.

This was also something that bothered He Yuzhu, but seeing Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong mocking him in front of him, He Yuzhu had to fight back.

People in the compound approached He Yuzhu, and it was hard for He Yuzhu to refuse. Of course, if he really wanted to find a job, He Yuzhu would arrange it. As for the position, it must be from the bottom. He Yuzhu clearly told everyone that if you can do it, you can do it.

, even if you can’t do it.

Although some people don't like He Yuzhu's approach, many people are still grateful to He Yuzhu.

Today, Xu Damao, Liu Haizhong, Banggan, and Liu Guanghui went to Yuhua Hotel to meet an important customer to discuss business.

Xu Damao is still very concerned about today's business, because as long as the negotiation is completed, it will be another step for Xu Damao to catch up with He Yuzhu.

And just when Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong were waiting for the guests and chatting happily, Xu Damao suddenly heard a very familiar voice and turned his head to take a look.

"Are there a lot of people here?" Director Li said.

Hall manager: "This is all thanks to you."

Director Li looked at the beauty beside him and said:

"Hahaha! I've seen good service. I heard that the service at Yuhua Hotel is good and the food is delicious. Especially the Sichuan food is very authentic. I booked a private room today and we want to taste it.

"

Then, under the leadership of the service staff, we walked to the second floor.

Seeing this scene, Xu Damao rushed to the market to catch up. He had a hunch that he could make a big fortune from Director Li.

"Director Li!"

"Director Li!"

"Director Li!"

Director Li, who had just reached the second floor, stopped. He was very strange. It seemed like someone was calling him?

You Fengxia said: "Why did you stop?"

Director Li did not answer.

Instead, he turned around and saw Xu Damao rushing towards him.

Said: "Hahaha! So it's Xu Damao? I thought someone was calling me just now!"

"It's been a long time, Director Li. I just heard your voice downstairs and felt it was very familiar, so I immediately caught up with you."

Director Li: "Xu Damao, it's been a long time."

Xu Damao immediately looked at Director Li and said:

"That's right, long time no see. Oops! Looking at your outfit, have you made a fortune?"

Director Li said nothing and smiled.

You Fengxia next to you said: "Director Li is now the chairman of the crystal trading company."

Xu Damao slapped his mouth and said:

"Look, what am I talking about? Looking at your outfit, it looks like you have made a fortune."

Director Li said:

"Hey! Let me introduce you! This is my partner, Manager You."

Xu Damao turned around and saw the beauty next to Director Li.

Said: "Hello, Manager You, my name is Xu Damao, I used to be Director Li's subordinate."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand.

"Hello, You Fengxia." After saying that, she stretched out her hand to shake Xu Damao's hand.

"It's really a good name. It sounds nice and the person is pretty." Xu Damao looked at You Fengxia and said.

Director Li and You Fengxia both laughed after hearing Xu Damao's words.

Director Li said: "Hey! Damao, why are you here?"

Xu Damao looked at Director Li and said with a smile:

"Director Li, it's not just me! There is also one of your old subordinates, Liu Haizhong."

After hearing what Xu Damao said, Director Li was still very strange about Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong.

"How did you two get together? Haven't you always been at odds?"

"Hahaha! Look what you said, there are no eternal enemies. Liu Haizhong and I are now in business partnership. We are partners."

"Hahaha! That's right, there are no eternal enemies, there are only interests!" Director Li very much agreed with what Xu Damao said.

"Why don't you also call Liu Haizhong to talk to us?" Director Li looked at Xu Damao and said.

Hear what Director Li said.

Of course Xu Damao didn't want Liu Haizhong to know about this. If there was any benefit, wouldn't he just post it?

"No, no, I'll just talk to you, Director Li. He has to deal with guests down below!"

Director Li said: "Okay, let's go to the box to talk?"

"Okay, great."

After saying that, Xu Damao followed Director Li and You Fengxia to a private room called Yunfei.

As soon as he entered, Xu Damao was very active in pouring tea for Director Li and You Fengxia.

Looking at You Fengxia, she said:

“Excellent West Lake Longjing, very fragrant!”

You Fengxia: "Thank you."

Then he poured tea for Director Li.

Director Li looked at Xu Damao pouring tea and said:

"What do you mean, why is it such a coincidence that I chose this place to eat today so that I could meet you."

"Hehe! At this moment! Many words popped up in my mind. What a coincidence! What a coincidence! These words have come. In the final analysis, it is because of you and me, Director Li! The fate is still there and has not disappeared.

"

"Hahaha! Well said, Xu Damao, you have such a mouth! You are still as powerful as before!"

Faced with Director Li's praise, Xu Damao was still very humble.

Xu Damao: "No, no! Everything I said is true."

Then Xu Damao asked the waiter to serve a bottle of Moutai.

Xu Damao immediately picked up the wine.

"Come on, Director Li, you want to have a few drinks today?"

"Okay, I must. I must drink this wine. I met an old friend."

Then both parties started drinking.

At the dinner table, Xu Damao kept testing Director Li's current business.

Director Li just told Xu Damao that he was now working in a trading company, and of course what he was doing was trading.

When Xu Damao heard about it, he knew that the word "trade" was not simple.

Immediately and continuously please Director Li.

Time passed, and after three drinks, Xu Damao resigned.

He was afraid that he would not be found among the bangs.

When he came back, he was greeted by Liu Haizhong as expected!

Liu Haizhong asked angrily:

"Xu Damao, where did you go just now? Why is there no one there? The client just now almost failed to negotiate."

"I just had a stomachache, so I went to take a convenience store. Who would have thought that eating in the morning would ruin my stomach? Fortunately, you are here, so I can rest assured."

Hearing Xu Damao's praise, Liu Haizhong was very impressed.

"Is the matter over? Let's go back!" Xu Damao was afraid that if he saw Director Li in his bangs later, he would be on Director Li's line again. Wasn't his effort just in vain?

Liu Haizhong has no objection to this either.

Time passed, and two weeks passed in the blink of an eye.

Yan Jiecheng's restaurant encountered a problem. His competitors appeared, and there were two of them. He and Yu Li tried it, but the dishes in their restaurant were not as good as others.

This killed two people.

After tasting the sweetness brought by the business, the two of them were no longer willing to go back to work in the factory.

It's completely impossible to go back.

They hired another chef to cook last week, but the customer flow has not improved. This makes them very distressed and they don't know what to do?

Yu Li was not in the mood to go to the hotel. She was thinking of ways to save their hotel.

And since the hotel business is not as good as before, Yan Jiecheng can handle everything in the hotel by himself.

Yu Li also lost her job. In the second week after opening the store, she saw the benefits and the flow of people and decided to quit.

Who would have thought that things could change unexpectedly and suddenly, this day, she didn't even have time to react.

To be honest, Yu Li does not regret it. It is not Yu Li who regrets it, but her husband Yan Jiecheng and the third uncle. Both of them think that Yu Li should not give up.

It's better now, the hotel business is not doing well, and there are no jobs anymore.

It's not far from closing.

Yu Li remembered that in the second week, it was Yan Jiecheng who took the initiative to ask her to stop working there and come to the store to help.

She was very dissatisfied with Yan Jiecheng.

But I had to let go of my inner opinions.

The only solution now is to hire a powerful chef. This is the only way the couple can think of to save their restaurant.

The first thing Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng thought of was He Yuzhu, but in the past two weeks, the third uncle and the third aunt came back and told them that He Yuzhu's small business was an achievement that was beyond their reach.

They immediately extinguish their thoughts.

Yu Li was very distressed. She really couldn't think of any solution.

The third uncle saw Yu Li and said:

"Business in the hotel is not good, isn't it? Why don't you go ask Zhu Zhu for advice and see if you can persuade him or what he can do? He is such a big boss now." He has not gotten back all his pension money yet.

Yes, of course they don’t want their business to go bankrupt.

Hearing the third uncle's words, Yu Li's eyes lit up after she had been deep in thought.

Yu Li thought to herself: "That's right! Go ask He Yuzhu. Anyway, the hotel is already a dead horse and a living doctor. They can't think of any way to save the hotel."

"Dad, you are absolutely right. He Yuzhu must have a solution. I will go find him right now."

When the third uncle saw Yu Li rushing to ask He Yuzhu, he hurriedly said: "Be polite, my status is not what it used to be. You have something to ask for."

"I know, I know." After saying that, Yu Li left.

She could only come to He Yuzhu's yard with the last hope that He Yuzhu could bring her and help her.

I saw He Yuzhu sitting on a recliner, drinking tea and playing an unknown tune.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, He Yuzhu turned around to look at the visitor and felt strange. Why was Yu Li not in his hotel and coming to his place?

The last time I went to their restaurant to support them, I was ridiculed by Yan Jiecheng.

Recently, he heard that their business was not very good, and He Yuzhu was a little uncomfortable with Yan Jiecheng being slapped in the face so quickly.

Not to mention Yan Jiecheng, he is probably very exhausted now!

When he thought of this, He Yuzhu felt happy.

She looked at Yu Li and asked with a smile: "Yu Li, what do you want from me? If you still want me to be a chef, then I'm very sorry. I believe you know something about my situation? I don't need to say more.

?”

"Is it really impossible?" Yu Li asked still a little unwillingly.

He Yuzhu just smiled at her as a response.

Yu Li bit her lip and said, "Brother Zhu, can you help us with this hotel and help us think of a way to get through the pain? We have invested all our money in it. If we can't

Failure!"

"What does your husband and wife's inability to fail have to do with me? I asked you, are you just kidding me? Have you forgotten what happened a few days ago?"

He Yuzhu looked at Yu Li and said dissatisfiedly, he is a very vengeful person and cannot forget it casually.

Yu Li's eyes began to shed tears and she said pitifully:

"Brother Zhu, as long as you can help us, we will never forget your kindness. You must have a way to make your business so successful now, right? Just help us!"

"Hey! Can you please not come here to buy misfortune? People saw you crying and thought I was bullying you! You can't blackmail me in broad daylight."

"What good will it do me to help you?"

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yu Li was a little stunned. Yes! What benefits could He Yuzhu get from helping their family? She would not have forgotten what Yan Jiecheng said about He Yuzhu before.

"How about we give you money?" Yu Li asked tentatively.

"Of course you can give me money, then ten thousand yuan!" He Yuzhu said immediately.

"Ten thousand fast!" Yu Li couldn't help but exclaimed. She was shocked by this number. Yes, this was a sky-high price. Who wouldn't be surprised to hear it?

He Yuzhu saw her surprised expression.

He immediately said:

"What's wrong? Too much? This is related to whether your restaurant can be revived? I wouldn't tell most people."

Yu Li's eyes began to fill with tears again, she looked at He Yuzhu and said:

"It's not that it's too much, but our family really doesn't have that much money. Brother Zhu, do you think I can give you two thousand yuan?"

The most annoying thing for He Yuzhu is when a woman cries. He Yuzhu, who originally decided not to give her any advice, finally relented.

"For two thousand yuan, I can only give you a business opportunity to overcome the current crisis and make your family make a fortune. As for the future, I can't guarantee it! What do you think? Do you want to give it a try?"

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Yu Li quickly wiped away her tears with her hands.

Said: "I am willing, I am willing, then just say it quickly!"

"Speak quickly! That won't work. Give me the money first, and I will sell you this method. If you don't have money, then go home and get the money!"

"Okay, I'll go right away. You have to keep your word and wait for me here. I'll go get it right away."

"Go! Go! I will definitely keep my word."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Yu Li ran home to get the money. Although she despised He Yuzhu in her heart and didn't believe her behavior of wanting to get the money first, she didn't dare to offend He Yuzhu now, in case she didn't tell him.

If she found a way, wouldn't she have wasted so much time in vain?

When He Yuzhu saw Yu Li walking back to get the money, he happily drank his tea again.

The method he was going to tell Yu Li was what they figured out later in the original work, which was to switch to Chongqing Hotpot. This could really make a fortune, but it was impossible to make money like this all the time.

The flow of customers eating hot pot also depends on seasonality.
