After May Day, Geng Zhiyuan was busy for more than half a month, and finally completed the design of the urea plant he was responsible for. After proofreading and revising, he and Wang Qiang sent the signed base map to the archives for storage. For designers, the design work is not complete until the drawings are in the database.

Out of the archive room, Geng Zhiyuan breathed a long sigh of relief, the time was close to the end of May, he hadn't gone home to see his girlfriend for more than half a month, he was almost terminally ill with lovesickness, and he couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly back to Liangcheng immediately.

It's a pity that Liang Guangyuan has already informed him to go on a business trip to Sichuan Province the day after tomorrow and go to Yurong Chemical Group Company for technical disclosure, and the time to meet his girlfriend can only be postponed later.

That night, Geng Zhiyuan, Pang Dong, Yu Qinghe and Wang Jin came to a two-story frontage house in the middle of Dongmen Street.

When paying the share capital after the holiday, Geng Zhiyuan took 20,000 yuan, Pang Dong reluctantly took out 30,000 yuan, and Yu Qinghe brought back the promised 20,000 yuan in full, adding up to a total of 70,000 yuan. Geng Zhiyuan saw that Yu Qinghe's face was not worried, and immediately promised to take out the remaining 10,000 yuan in early July. Although Pang Dong complained bitterly, he had to promise to pay the remaining 20,000 yuan in early July.

After Wang Jin got the 70,000 yuan, he immediately began to choose a location to recruit people. I chose to choose and choose, and I took a fancy to a three-hundred-square-meter two-story façade house on Dongmen Street. This façade house is owned by the Municipal Garden Bureau, and the other party asks for 5,000 yuan per month, Pang Dong and Wang Jin have a stubborn fight with each other, and finally talk about the rent of 4,500 yuan per month.

4,500 a month, 54,000 yuan in rent alone a year, and 27,000 yuan in advance for half a year.

The four of them went upstairs and downstairs, back and forth, and looked carefully. Geng Zhiyuan dabbled in a lot of feng shui books when he was in college, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes! This place is very good! Sitting in the north and facing the south gate, it is rare that there are no trees in front of the store, and it is easy to accept the anger of all directions, which is very suitable for opening a restaurant to do business." ”

"Isn't it a little bigger?" Yu Qinghe hesitated: "It's the first time we do it, we don't need to make it so big, right?"

Wang Jin spent a lot of effort to find this cost-effective store location, and when he saw that Yu Qinghe was too big, he couldn't help but pout.

Geng Zhiyuan looked at it in his eyes and said with a smile: "There are great benefits, the location of this location is good, and the price is not expensive." ”

Pang Dong naturally had the same heart as Wang Jin, two of the three shareholders were satisfied, and the minority obeyed the majority, so Yu Qinghe had to keep his mouth shut and reserve his opinion.

"I went to the labor market and recruited six people, all young men, who could be waiters but not cooks. Wang Jin took out his notebook 1510 and reported: "They ask for a low price, just 300 yuan a month for food and housing." ”

"Do you have to rent a house for them?" Yu Qinghe frowned.

"Don't worry. Pang Dong smiled: "My aunt's house is empty, just pay some money for them to live in." ”

"What about the chef?" asked Geng Zhiyuan. No matter how simple barbecue and hot pot are, there must be a chef to serve the ingredients, and ordinary people can't afford this position.

"I was a barbecuer when I was young, and he helped contact a few apprentices who had just graduated from the school, and the price was not high. Pang Dong continued: "The hot pot chef doesn't need it yet, let's talk about it when it's cold." ”

"I also contacted the furniture and kitchenware, which cost more than 20,000 yuan in total. During this time, Wang Jin ran hard, the corners of his mouth were foaming, and his voice was hoarse and he looked a little tired.

"Wang Jin is tired! Thank you!" Geng Zhiyuan thanked from the bottom of his heart.

Wang Jin was a little surprised by his praise, and then smiled and said: "It's still Brother Geng who hurts people, and Pang Dong thinks that I can't do this or that." ”

"How can I have?" Pang Dong cried out, "Won't I also run around?"

"You two have worked hard, and we thank you both. Geng Zhiyuan smiled and asked: "The source of mutton for barbecue has to be implemented, peanuts and edamame are easy to say, and the vegetable wholesale market has them." ”

"I've got in touch. Pang Dong said: "I have an old family who raises sheep in the west of the city, and we can get the goods from him." ”

There are several Hui villages in the west of the city, and the villagers are mostly engaged in cattle and sheep breeding, and the fresh mutton is affordable, which is one of the main sources of mutton in the catering industry in the provincial capital.

"We can also serve crayfish, in the past two years, the fried crayfish on the barbecue stall is very popular. Wang Jin suggested.

"What does crayfish look like, is it expensive?" Geng Zhiyuan rarely eats barbecue, and he is a bit clean, he dislikes roadside stalls as unhygienic, so he never patronizes them, so he doesn't know anything about crayfish, an emerging food star.

Wang Jin opened his mouth wide and said in surprise: "Brother Geng has never eaten crayfish?"

Yu Qinghe joked: "You don't know, Lao Geng doesn't smoke or drink, and he doesn't even go to the barbecue stall, how can he know what crayfish?"

Pang Dong also smiled on the side: "Lao Geng can't even scream, if I didn't understand his temper with Lao Yu, I would have thought he was an unkind weirdo." ”

Geng Zhiyuan couldn't hold it on his face when they said it, and forced himself to distinguish: "Am I that bad? I just don't like that kind of occasion." You're going to treat me to a good meal, can I not go?"

Men who don't smoke, drink, and don't get together are really a strange existence in today's society. Wang Jin said curiously: "Brother Geng is really different, I can't figure out how a person like you can get involved with them and open a restaurant?"

Geng Zhiyuan smiled bitterly: "I just don't like to be lively, and it's not that I don't eat fireworks in the world, why don't you participate in making money?"

Pang Dong joked: "In ancient times, Lao Geng was a pure scholar, and he only needed to listen to things outside the window and only read the books of sages and sages." Admitted to a Jinshi, what do you want for money and beauty. ”

Geng Zhiyuan smiled and bowed his head silently, Wang Jin said in his heart: "No wonder the Wei Xiao I saw last time is also a girl with a quiet personality, it turns out that Brother Geng is this kind of person." But...... Both of them are quiet people, how boring is this life? People have to be happy when they live, and I can't stand this boring life anyway. ”

After the opinion of the façade room was determined, Wang Jin found the Garden Bureau the next day to sign an agreement to pay half a year's rent. Then, she began to clean and buy furniture in full swing, while Pang Dong took the time to go through the procedures of the industrial and commercial taxation and health departments.

Geng Zhiyuan couldn't help if he wanted to, he had already followed Liang Guangyuan and others on the train to Yurong. When he was in college, Geng Zhiyuan took the train many times, but never took a sleeper. Even if I went to Lu Province for an internship in my senior year, I sat hard for more than ten hours, and I never experienced the luxury of lying down and sleeping on the train.

A total of six people went to Yurong Chemical Group Co., Ltd. this time, with design manager Liang Guangyuan leading the team, process majors Wang Ping and Geng Zhiyuan, as well as electrical Qi Yuanhao, automatic control Jiang Jihang, and structure Wang Xinghu, all of whom were men.

Geng Zhiyuan was assigned a middle bunk, he was tall, he was very aggrieved in the narrow space, and he could barely lie down. Lying on his own bunk, his heart suddenly moved: "I only worked in a tank farm, why do you have to call me for the design disclosure? Are you going to arrange for me to go there for construction services? This time you are taking me to recognize the road?"

The design institute has recently signed several new projects, and Geng Zhiyuan is preparing to participate in them to earn more bonuses. If you are sent to Sichuan Province for construction services, I am afraid that you will have to stay for another three or four months, not only will you delay your work to earn money, but you will also have no time to prepare for the opening of the restaurant, and it will be impossible to go home to meet your girlfriend.

"Oh! it's so sad!" Geng Zhiyuan put his hands behind his head and sighed worriedly. The group of students who came in the same year as him had never been to the site except for him. According to his observations, most of the people who were sent to the construction service were unpopular marginal people in the hospital. The real design backbone and elite, the institute is reluctant to send out for long-term on-site service.

The most typical example is Jia Rui, who was sent to the Jixian urea project site after the New Year, and has not yet returned. If you become a habitual candidate for expatriate construction services, if you stay away from design work for a long time, you will sooner or later fall into a similar marginal person.

What should I do? Geng Zhiyuan's brows twisted into twists. If the hospital really arranges to go to Yurong for construction services, it is definitely not a wise choice not to go. The last time the construction service of the Haibin County Fertilizer Plant almost offended Yang Wenge, if he offended him again this time, his fate can be imagined.

A low-level designer like him, who has no background, is involuntarily involved in arranging work, and only when there is a project at hand that has not been completed, will he be reasonably excluded from the construction service candidate.

"Looks like I'm going to have to find a project to work on quickly, or I'm afraid I won't be able to run away. "It's a pity that the ideal is very plump and the reality is very skinny. In addition to the teacher Xia Su, Geng Zhiyuan's familiar design manager is Liang Guangyuan, and the other project leaders don't know any one so far, at most they are only familiar with each other, how could they think of him when they formed the project team?

"What can I do about this?" Geng Zhiyuan stared at the bottom of the upper bunk in a daze.

Yurong Chemical Group Co., Ltd. is located in Yurong City, Sichuan Province, northeast of Chengdu. Therefore, the nearest route from Ningcheng to Yurong is to take the train to Chengdu first, then transfer to the long-distance bus to Yurong, and finally take a taxi or bus to the company.

There is a way that it is difficult for Shu Road to go to the blue sky, and the train from Ningcheng to Chengdu takes more than 32 hours even if it is a direct train at the earliest, and it is not uncommon to encounter emergencies such as failures and accidents, and more than 40 hours, so Liang Guangyuan prepared instant noodles, ham sausages and other fast food for two days and two nights before getting on the train, after all, the price of the boxed lunch on the train is high and the quality is small, and it is far less affordable than instant noodles and ham sausages.

Geng Zhiyuan went on a long trip for the first time, and it was also the first time he sat on a sleeper, so he felt very strange, lying on his bunk and looking at the scenery outside the window.

Liang Guangyuan and others got together and started playing poker. Long-distance business trips are long and boring, in addition to reading books, reading newspapers and listening to the radio, playing cards when there are many people has become the best choice to spend time. The people in the design institute have long been accustomed to business trips, so when they got in the car, put their luggage, took out their playing cards and started to upgrade.

Geng Zhiyuan didn't like to play cards when he was in college, and in his opinion, playing cards was a boring activity that wasted time, so his card skills were very poor, and there were not many ways to play cards. Seeing the old comrades gathering together to play cards, he was a little curious, and got down from the bunk and sat on the side to watch the battle.

Qi Yuanhao was older and didn't want to mix with young people, so he sat in the aisle with a book and read leisurely. Liang Guangyuan and others played cards in full swing, and they couldn't help shouting when they hit the hearty place. Geng Zhiyuan was dumbfounded from the sidelines, a senior engineer who is gentle and dignified on weekdays, at this time, his true appearance was revealed, where was there still a little bit of Sven?
