After Geng Zhiyuan's on-site leader and project assistant were dismissed, Wan Defu was replaced. Song Chen originally thought that he had sued Geng Zhiyuan according to Wan Defu's arrangement, and he should throw a peach to send Li to take him, but he never expected that people would ignore her as if they had forgotten her.

After all, no one wants to have someone around who could betray them at any time, let alone a smart person like Wan Defu.

After Geng Zhiyuan was publicly punished, the design managers did not dare to ask him to do the project easily, and he was rarely idle for a while. Not only can I go home on time after work, but I have almost nothing to do during work hours.

Accustomed to being busy and worrying, where can he live idlely, since he has nothing to do, after playing the card, Geng Zhiyuan sneaked out while people were not paying attention, and went to Yuanyi Company to be with Lu Yi.

"Zhiyuan, since the second half of last year, the restaurant's turnover has gradually declined. After the Chinese New Year, there were two stores that were almost unprofitable. Lu Yi reported with the financial statements.

Geng Zhiyuan carefully read the report, raised his head and sighed, "I noticed it too." In the past two years, the homogenization of the surrounding restaurants has been too serious, and after we became popular, people have followed suit and opened a lot of Sichuan-style hot pot restaurants. No matter how good things are, once they are overdone and become rotten streets, it means that it is over. ”

Lu Yi said anxiously when he heard this: "Then what should we do?"

Geng Zhiyuan touched his forehead and pondered for a while, "How many stores do we have now?"

"Four stores. ”

"The store with the least turnover will be closed first, and the rest of the stores will be closed as long as they are not doing well, and the lease period of the store will be closed. Geng Zhiyuan commanded.

The three newly opened stores contain Lu Yi's hard work, and she is quite reluctant: "Shall we wait a while?"

Geng Zhiyuan glanced at her and said with a smile: "What are you waiting for?

Lu Yi said: "I think it's a pity, we finally got to this point, if we close the door, what will we do in the future?"

Geng Zhiyuan understood Lu Yi's feelings of worrying about losing everything now, and said with relief: "Once the business opportunity passes, forcibly insisting on it will only add to the mistake." We have to have the courage of a strong man to break his wrist!"

Lu Yi said deflated: "I thought I was better than you, but I found out that I was still inferior to you, you always see farther than me." ”

Geng Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I promised you to stay at the head office and not close it, even if you lose money, it's always okay, right?"

Lu Yi didn't expect Geng Zhiyuan to guess what was on her mind, and said with a red face: "Thank you, Zhiyuan!"

"You call Xiao Wu, I'll ask him something. After comforting Lu Yi, Geng Zhiyuan still has to rack his brains for the next survival of Yuxiang Restaurant.

Lu Wenwu saw him and said respectfully: "Brother Geng, do you have something to do with me?"

Geng Zhi asked, "Xiao Wu, did you study Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine or Shandong cuisine?"

Lu Wenwu said: "We learn a hodgepodge, and we learn all the common dishes, but they are not as authentic as the masters of others." ”

"How's the Sichuan cuisine?" Geng Zhiyuan frowned.

Lu Wenwu said truthfully: "It can only be regarded as so-so, you also know that the attraction of Sichuan cuisine mainly lies in the unique spicy taste." That taste is inseparable from the unique pepper of Sichuan Province, so I have never been able to make it. ”

Geng Zhiyuan sighed: "Alas, I have to find someone again." ”

Lu Yi wondered, "Zhiyuan, do you want to serve Sichuan food?"

"No, no, no. Geng Zhiyuan covered his forehead and thought: "Didn't I say before, the restaurant must be distinctive, since we are a Yuxiang restaurant, we naturally have to have Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine, so as to attract customers." ”

The Lu sisters and brothers looked at each other, whether it was Sichuan cuisine or Hunan cuisine, they had no connections to find, and they still had to count on Geng Zhiyuan.

When he got home in the evening, Geng Zhiyuan asked his girlfriend who had just returned from Sichuan Province and said, "Qingqing, do you have a familiar Sichuan chef in your hometown?"

Su Qingying smiled and said, "Zhiyuan, you really asked the right person." My uncle is a well-known master of Sichuan cuisine. ”

"Really?" Geng Zhiyuan was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Where is he doing now?"

Su Qing recalled: "When we ate together during the Chinese New Year, I heard him say that he seemed to be the master of a restaurant in the county. ”

"Can you invite him over to be a chef?" Geng Zhiyuan asked eagerly.

"Yes, yes, but I heard that the hotel gave him a lot of treatment, more than 2,000 a month. Su Qing said.

"Let's give four thousand!" Geng Zhiyuan said arrogantly: "If your uncle is willing to come, the house on the fifth floor will be for him to live in." ”

"Okay. Su Qing smiled: "If my uncle comes, it must be a family, and my aunt and cousin will follow him." ”

"Okay, no problem. The treatment of your aunt and cousin is mentioned by your uncle. In terms of improving the core competitiveness of the restaurant, Geng Zhiyuan spared no expense. As long as the dishes are well cooked and there are more customers, Qian Kenben does not have to worry.

After implementing Sichuan cuisine, Geng Zhiyuan contacted his younger brother again and asked him to ask Wang Xiaoling if he could help find a master chef of Hunan cuisine. Wang Xiaoling introduced a fellow chef, Geng Zhiyuan couldn't figure out the bottom and didn't dare to agree easily, so he invited him to come to Ningcheng to discuss in person.

The person who came was Yao Taize, a distant relative of Wang Xiaoling, who had been engaged in the chef business in his hometown in Hunan Province. His craftsmanship is okay, and the Hunan cuisine he makes is also authentic, so Geng Zhiyuan left him with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan.

With the joining of Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine, Yuxiang restaurant finally lived up to its name, and with the increase of customers, the turnover finally improved, and gradually began to look up.

After recovering the decline of Yuxiang Restaurant, Geng Zhiyuan rushed to Chuyan Condiment Company non-stop. Due to the decline in hot pot sales, the demand for pot base materials has decreased significantly, and Chuyan Company's products have a backlog, and production has to be stopped.

Liu Jun and Zhang Shulin were anxious when they saw him.

"Mr. Geng, there is a backlog of goods in the warehouse, and production has stopped for half a month after the Spring Festival, what should I do next?" Liu Jun insisted on calling Geng Zhiyuan Mr. Geng, and he didn't want to force people to change it.

"Don't panic, don't panic!" Geng Zhiyuan said with a smile: "I have asked Lin Chu to contact the major supermarkets, let's sell the pot base directly to customers through the supermarket, they can eat hot pot by themselves at home, and the sales will be better." ”

Zhang Shulin said: "We have tried to produce the cold drink production line you let you put on a few years ago, and the taste is okay, but Mr. Lin said that it needs to be improved again." ”

"On such a cold day, no one eats cold drinks, right?" Liu Jun was puzzled.

Geng Zhiyuan said: "When paired with a restaurant, after eating spicy things, you naturally want to eat something cold, and some people will like it." Besides, now that we have smooth production and commissioning, won't we be able to make a lot of money in the summer?"

"Also, cold drinks are profitable. Liu Jun sighed: "I did a rough calculation, the profit is amazing, and the cost of a two-yuan ice cream is less than three cents." ”

Geng Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Two yuan is the retail price, and the ex-factory price we sell to the merchant is lower than him." ”

"Even if we sell it to them for 1.2 yuan, our profit will still be nine cents, and the profit will be 300 percent, which is really high enough. Liu Jun said while calculating.

"The cold drinks in our factory are new brands, and they can't be sold so expensive, but they can definitely make a lot of money. Geng Zhiyuan comforted them and said: "There are many kinds of food markets, even if the pot base can't be sold, you can find another way, you don't have to be too anxious, no matter how difficult it is, we can come up with a way." ”

Finally cleaned up and stopped the two enterprises, Geng Zhiyuan could finally take a breath, and the time had quietly come to March.

Early in the morning of Women's Day, Geng Zhiyuan rode his bicycle to the design institute, and before he reached the gate, he saw a group of people gathered on the side of the road, and a white BMW car parked next to it.

Chinese people love to watch the excitement, Geng Zhiyuan is not exempt from vulgarity, taking advantage of being tall to stretch his neck and take a look in, only to see a fat middle-aged woman pinching her waist with one hand, and pointing to a beautiful and slender girl with the other hand who is scolding and scolding.

The girl who was scolded turned out to be Yue Qing, Yue Weiben's daughter. When Yue Qing encountered something, Geng Zhiyuan couldn't turn a blind eye and stand by. He parked his bicycle and squeezed into the crowd to listen, it turned out that the fat woman was driving a car from the main road into the auxiliary road, Yue Qing happened to ride out of the gate, because the BMW car was driving too fast, Yue Qing couldn't brake and hit the side of the front of the car, knocking the door a little dented and paintless.

The fat woman scolded angrily in a sharp southern accent: "Can you afford to pay for this car?

The fat woman's scolding was too ugly, and the foul language was unbearable. Yue Qing was ashamed and afraid, and stood aside with a red face, at a loss.

Some of the onlookers understood and some didn't, and they knew how to say: "The little girl rides a car to go out normally, and the car takes the non-motorized lane and has an accident, so you shouldn't complain about riding a bicycle." ”

I didn't understand and said: "That's also the little girl who hit someone, whoever hit it will pay." ”

Seeing this, Geng Zhiyuan stepped forward and said: "The motor vehicle should give way to the road, and if you don't give way, you should be fully responsible." ”

Yue Qing saw that it was Geng Zhiyuan, and her heart was immediately overjoyed. And when the fat woman saw that someone was speaking for Yue Qing, she was immediately unhappy: "It's really a dog meddling with a mouse, does it have anything to do with you? Get out of the way!"

Geng Zhiyuan smiled slightly: "No matter how rich you are, you have to be reasonable, there is nothing wrong with the little girl in this matter, the fault is all yours, you are still scolding here, everyone is right?"

Geng Zhiyuan first drew a clear line, and then agitated it, and the surrounding people couldn't help but be excited, and they denounced the fat woman. The fat woman was furious, but in the face of the passionate people, she was also a little afraid, and she flinched and wanted to escape into the car.

Geng Zhiyuan called the police first, and then took the first step to stop the fat woman and said, "Don't go, I have already called the police, wait for the police to deal with it." ”

As soon as she heard that the police were coming, the fat woman was immediately deflated and pleaded: "Big brother, forget it, can't I not pursue it?"

Geng Zhiyuan saw her dodging eyes, sensed that something was wrong, and said resolutely: "No, you can't go." ”

While pulling, a tall and thin traffic policeman arrived on a motorcycle, got out of the car and asked the fat woman for a driver's license and driving license. The fat woman hesitated and said, "I forgot to bring it and left it at home." ”

Geng Zhiyuan's heart moved, pointed at her and asked, "Could it be that you don't have a driver's license and drive without a license?"

As soon as these words came out, the fat woman's face suddenly turned pale.
