Chapter 235: Is This Deal Worth It (Two in One)
Lin Dingqiang saw that Huang Lechi was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help asking, "Chef Wang, what's going on?"
Huang Lechi let out a long sigh, and he told everything that happened tonight.
"Originally, I would be in charge of the dishes in your private room tonight, and a few second chefs would be in charge of the rest. Huang Lechi paused, and then said: "But after I finished making shallots and tofu, there was a private room that suddenly wanted to return the food, saying that the heat was wrong. ”
"The steak you ordered?"
Huang Lechi nodded, "Since the dish is returned, in line with the attitude of being responsible for customers, I will let the second chef redo it." However, after the second dish of the same dish was delivered to the box, it was returned. I had no choice but to put down my work, hand over the dishes in your box to the second chef to do, and then deal with the matter of returning the dishes. ”
After several people heard Huang Lechi's description, Xin Qing asked curiously, "Is there a food critic here?"
According to Manager Shen, several people did not comment on the dishes in detail, but only said that the dishes were not in the right taste. Huang Lechi explained.
As soon as Guan Lan heard this, he came up angry, "Then he must be here to find fault!"
Lin Dingqiang felt that this matter was not so simple, "I only asked to return the vegetables and redo them, and I didn't make trouble, I definitely didn't come to find fault." Secondly, we are not a professional Michelin-starred restaurant, nor are we an Internet celebrity check-in point, and it is impossible for food critics to come to us to try the dishes. ”
Lin Dingqiang thought for a while, and then asked, "Then after the dishes you made were served, they didn't say anything more, right?"
"I'm pretty confident in that. Huang Lechi said firmly: "Although Manager Shen didn't say whether it was good or bad, I believe that my craftsmanship can still satisfy those people." ”
Lin Dingqiang nodded, "The customer's experience is more important, and I have worked hard for you today." Let's just think they're a bunch of mouth-to-mouth people!"
Xin Qing's strength seemed to be a little stronger, and she said to Lin Dingqiang: "Old Lin, don't you want to go and see it?
Lin Dingqiang frowned, "Isn't this okay?"
"Let's take a look at a lot of meat!" Guan Lan was also interested, she was also very curious about the people in the box, "Xin Qing, let's go, let's see where the sacredness is!"
Huang Lechi saw that the two girls had made up their minds, and proposed: "There is a food outlet outside the box, if the two of you are really interested, let's take a look from there." It will not disturb the diners. ”
Lin Dingqiang knew that Xin Qing was drunk, and when she was eating, she drank almost four taels of white wine and two large glasses of red wine. He was afraid that Xin Qing would not be able to hold it steadily, so he still followed the footsteps of the two of them.
Zhao Lei took Song Shu back to her box, and after a few people came to the food port, the two girls poked their heads curiously and looked inside.
Since he had come, Lin Dingqiang also leaned down and looked inside.
There were three people seated in the box, two men and one woman, both in their early forties.
One of the men impressed Lin Dingqiang, his hair was not a flat inch, but a round head. The clothes on his body are also relatively simple, just a dark blue T-shirt.
The other man wore a gray shirt with neatly combed oiled hair. Judging by the watch on the wrist, it should be a Rolex gold watch.
The woman wears more luxury, judging from the diamond necklace around the neck, the size of the center diamond will not be less than three carats.
But when the two men talked, the man in the shirt was obviously respectful to the man in the T-shirt, and even his smile was extraordinarily sincere, coupled with the glass in both hands when toasting, it made people feel that the T-shirt man had an extraordinary status.
Lin Dingqiang saw that he had almost observed, patted Xin Qing's back slightly, and whispered, "Okay, let's go back quickly." ”
Xin Qing's cheeks were already crimson, and her head was even more dizzy, she took a few steps back, almost stumbled into Lin Dingqiang's arms, panting for wine, and said with a smile: "It's boring, Guan Lan, let's go back and drink." ”
Guan Lan also shrugged her shoulders, she was not full, turned to Huang Lechi and said, "Chef Huang, can you cook me a bowl of noodles?"
Huang Lechi responded with a smile: "Is it okay to have Yangchun noodles?"
"Okay!" Guan Lan happily agreed: "I'm not a picky eater." ”
A few people walked towards their box again, Xin Qing had already hit the front foot and the back foot, and she had to be supported by Lin Ding all the way to barely be able to walk. When he arrived at the door of the box, Lin Dingqiang was afraid that the drunk Xin Qing would make Shu Lan worried, so he simply said to Guan Lan: "You go in first, I'll accompany her outside to sober up." ”
Guan Lan nodded slightly, and then walked into the box alone. After Lin Dingqiang helped Xin Qing to the recliner, Xin Qing took Lin Dingqiang's hand and said, "Lao Lin, thank you." ”
Ding Qiang looked at the charming expression, squatted beside Xin Qing, and said with a smile: "What do you want to thank me?"
"I thank you for giving Song Shu a chance. Xin Qing whispered: "When I heard that she resigned desperately and came back to be a housewife, I felt worthless for her. She is a very good person and deserves a bigger stage to make her dreams come true. ”
"It's the same question you asked me at the altar of earth. Lin Dingqiang replied unhurriedly: "Everyone has their own choice, and no one forced her to choose such a life." Now she is willing to return to her own stage, in addition to your kind words and persuasion, I think she also has a restless and calm heart. ”
Xin Qing smiled brighter than ever, and the iconic dimples hung on her face again, "You're right, I don't regret my choice." ”
Just when Lin Dingqiang wanted to say something more, he found that Xin Qing seemed to be about to fall asleep. The long eyelashes kept drooping, and the eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand tons, and after a few seconds, Xin Qing let out an even voice, took Lin Dingqiang's hand, and fell asleep peacefully.
"This girl. Lin Dingqiang smiled no, not like it and no, he looked at the sleeping beauty in front of him dotingly, combed the hair on her sideburns, and squatted silently aside.
About fifteen minutes later, Huang Lechi came to Lin Dingqiang's side after delivering noodles to Guan Lan.
After seeing that Xin Qing was already asleep, he whispered, "Mr. Lin, thank you today." ”
"You're going to thank me too?"
Huang Lechi said with a smile: "Thank you for your understanding of my work, I think if it were a different boss, I'm afraid I would have packed my luggage in the dormitory now." ”
Lin Dingqiang said slowly: "You didn't do anything wrong in this matter, but I think you did it right." ”
Huang Lechi laughed happily, it seemed that there was always a feeling of freedom when doing things under Lin Dingqiang. He is no longer working for others, but can use his own experience to decide the priority of things, so as to realize the value of life.
Lin Dingqiang gently withdrew his hand from Xin Qing's hand, came to Huang Lechi's side, and asked with concern, "Have you seen your daughter?"
Huang Lechi lit a cigarette, took two puffs and said, "Three days ago, I took a look from a distance, but I didn't say hello. She had a good time, and I was content. ”
Lin Dingqiang knew from Huang Lechi's relieved eyes that one-third of his father's wish had been completed, and the remaining two-thirds still had to be fought for by himself. However, judging from the situation between him and Shen Mushi, except for some sparks when they first met, there must be no major contradictions in their work.
"Then you're going to have to work hard. Lin Ding cheered up, "One day, your wish will always come true." ”
"I lend you a good word. ”
And at this moment, the box door suddenly opened. Guan Nushan staggered out of the house, "Xiaolin, so you are here!"
Lin Dingqiang turned around, thinking that Guan Nushan was looking for him to drink, so he politely shirked and said, "Boss Guan, I can't drink anymore." Just come here and blow the wind. ”
Guan Nushan strode forward a few steps and grabbed Lin Dingqiang's arm, "It's not about drinking! ”
Lin Dingqiang looked back at the sleeping Xin Qing, a little uneasy. And Huang Lechi said at this time: "Mr. Lin, I asked Manager Shen to prepare a suite first, and then asked Miss Guan to send Miss Xin to rest." ”
"You go and call Zhao Lei in the box. Lin Dingqiang instructed two sentences, thinking that it was also his own territory, and said to Huang Lechi: "Let her send Xin Qing." ”
"Okay, no problem. After Huang Lechi finished speaking, he walked into the box first, ready to ask Zhao Lei to come out first, so that Lin Dingqiang could rest assured.
Guan Nushan saw that Lin Dingqiang's affairs were all arranged, so he pulled him out in a hurry.
"Boss Guan, what is the matter so urgent?" Lin Dingqiang asked curiously.
Guan Nushan smiled mysteriously, "I'll take you to meet someone." It's in your club. ”
The two came to the first box again, Lin Dingqiang looked at the familiar food mouth, and always felt that things were not so simple.
Guan Nushan didn't knock on the door, pushed open the door directly, and strode in.
Lin Dingqiang found that there were three people in the private room just now, and now there are only two left. One is a man in a shirt, and the other is a woman wearing a diamond necklace.
After the two saw Guan Nushan coming, they stood up respectfully, "Guan Ye, you're here!"
From the analysis of the earnest tone, the two regard Guan Nushan as a very important person.
Guan Nushan waved his hand, motioned for the two to sit down, and then said: "I didn't expect you to come here to eat! He is also a junior I am very optimistic about. ”
Lin Dingqiang smiled and nodded, saying hello to the two. The two also reciprocated with the warmest smiles.
After Guan Nushan sat down, the woman hurriedly took a cigarette, came to Guan Nushan's side, held the fire in both hands, and lit Guan Nushan.
Guan Nushan took a sip and said slowly: "What is the matter with the two of you looking for me today? But in the third chapter of the law, I drank wine today, and what I said may not be counted. ”
The man laughed, "Master Guan, don't worry. I asked you to meet today, just to catch up on the old days. We don't talk about anything else. ”
"Yes, I haven't seen Guan Ye for a long time, and I remember it very much. The woman added.
Regarding these coping words, Guan Nushan just smiled slightly, and said by the way: "It's not that you two don't know where I usually are, and I haven't seen a figure in the third section." I suddenly called today to make an appointment, and if it weren't for the fact that I was only a few steps away, and I had a distinguished guest there, I would definitely not have come. ”
Lin Dingqiang learned the art of speaking on the side, and Guan Nushan's image of not being angry and self-righteous instantly made the two of them a little frightened.
"Master Guan, you see that we are all ignorant. The woman hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Guan Nushan, and handed it to him with both hands, "Just take a sip of tea and forgive us juniors!"
Guan Nushan took the tea, but he didn't drink it, just held it in his hand and said bluntly: "What's the matter, just say it." I don't like to beat around the bush. ”
The man and the woman glanced at each other, and the man spoke, "Actually, I just want to tell you something about inviting you over today." Huang Baitao has already come out, and we have eaten together just now. We get along very well, just like we did back then. ”
Lin Dingqiang instantly sorted out the relationship between the characters, it turned out that the man in the T-shirt was called Huang Baitao, judging from the word coming out and the appearance and clothing of the characters, he should have squatted in and squatted.
Guan Nushan shook the teacup in his hand and thought for a moment, "The things of the past are all in the past. Now that the two of you can still sit at the same table and eat, my heart is relieved. If it was just because of this, then I understand. ”
The woman has been standing by Guan Nushan's side, and when she saw him serving tea and not drinking, she knew that Guan Nushan was not relieved, and then said: "Guan Ye, all these years, our husband and wife have worked together to help Baitao take care of the company, and we have done our best. Although he has been in there for twelve years, in the blink of an eye, he has also gained more than two billion. It's enough for him to live a solid life for the rest of his life. ”
After Lin Dingqiang heard this, he was shocked and thought to himself: "People really can't look good!"
Guan Nushan smiled slightly: "Since he is doing well, it is not bad! You don't have to tell me about this." ”
"Actually, I came to you today just to get an answer from you. The man stood up and said sincerely: "He has been locked up for twelve years, and he can't keep up with the outside society." Now that he has money, a leisurely life is what he should enjoy. As for the company's affairs, I don't want him to meddle again. And I also hope that Guan Ye will not ask about this matter again. ”
Guan Nushan put the teacup in his hand on the table, and then stood up, "Xiao Chen, you and Bai Tao are brothers. I'm sure you won't treat him badly. Since you've said that, I don't want to say anything more. I won't drink this cup of tea yet. When the two of you really shake hands and make peace, come to me, and when the time comes, no matter how hot that cup of tea is, I will no longer refuse. ”
After speaking, Guan Nushan took the lead in walking out of the box. After Lin Dingqiang saw Guan Nushan leaving, he nodded goodbye to the two, and then followed.
Guan Nushan silently bowed his head for more than ten minutes before stopping.
Lin Dingqiang asked curiously: "Boss Guan, what is going on? You asked me to join you, not just to get to know those two people, right?"
Guan Nushan threw the half-smoked cigarette on the ground, and after stepping on it, he re-lit his cigarette and asked slowly: "Xiaolin, do you think it is cost-effective for more than 200 million to buy a young man's 12 years of youth, to endure the days in the bars, and to live a life without freedom?"
