Beijing, Chuanchuan hot pot restaurant.

Liu Quan is a southerner who loves spicy food, and Li Fushan, the vice president of the personnel department, is a fellow countryman with him, so he ordered a very authentic Sichuan hot pot restaurant according to his own taste, and the characteristics of this hot pot restaurant are the two words 'hemp' and 'spicy'.

Liu Quan got off work early today and came to the skewer hot pot restaurant at six o'clock in the afternoon, which is not far from the headquarters of CNGR, which is also considered to make Li Fushan more convenient.

Strictly speaking, Liu Quan and Li Fushan do not have much intersection, and the reason why they keep in touch with Li Fushan is because of the habit of cultivating relationships in the intermediary industry, but I didn't expect to use it this time.

Liu Quan stood at the door of the hotel, watching the passing cars, remembering that the last time he had a gathering with fellow villagers, Li Fushan drove a black Buick car, but he didn't remember the license plate number.

The reason why Liu Quan hit Li Fushan with his own helplessness was also out of his own helplessness, he went to the hospital to find Wang Dongyuan, hoping that the other party could support his contemporary store manager, but Wang Dongyuan always answered very vaguely and did not express his intention to support him, which made him feel very unsure.

In addition to Wang Dongyuan, Liu Quan also took the initiative to talk to Liu Chengze, the regional manager, because he was not very familiar with Liu Chengze, and the two of them did not talk very deeply, but he indicated to Liu Chengze that he would work hard, and if he could become the acting store manager, he would definitely do his best to ensure the performance of the store.

However, Liu Chengze only said a few words of encouragement, and also did not give a clear answer, which made Liu Quan's heart even more bottomless, so he was so eager to find Li Fushan.

Li Fushan is the vice president of the personnel department, and the promotion and transfer of positions must ultimately pass the review of the personnel department, if Li Fushan is willing to help himself out, the probability of Liu Quan's promotion will also be greatly increased.

Just when Liu Quan was thinking nonsense. A bright black Buick drove over and parked in the parking space at the entrance of the hotel, Liu Quan came back to his senses, hurriedly trotted all the way up, and waited outside the cab.

"Squeaky ......"

With a bang, the door of the car opened. A man of about forty years old walked out, the man was medium, with a back comb, a serious expression, and he really looked a little bit of a leader.

"Mr. Li, you are here. Seeing the man who got out of the car, Liu Quan hurriedly greeted him, stretched out his right hand, and made a handshake motion.

"Liu Quan, I haven't seen you for a while. Li Fushan stretched out his right hand and shook it symbolically. Then he withdrew his right hand.

"Yes, but your complexion is getting better and better, and you look more energetic than last time. Liu Quan said.

"You also have a good complexion, what is the good thing about inviting me to dinner this time?" asked Li Fushan.

"Mr. Li, guess I've booked everything, let's go in and eat while talking. Liu Quan made a gesture of please.

“OK。 Li Fushan responded.

The two entered the hotel and soon a waiter greeted them. led the two into the private room, and the hot pot soup base in the private room was ready. After seeing the two people come in, the two waiters began to serve other side dishes.

"Mr. Li, I don't know what you like to eat, I think we are all fellow villagers, we are all born and raised in the water and soil, and the taste of what we want to eat is similar. So I decided on this Chuanchuan hot pot restaurant, I heard that the hot pot here is very authentic, and the boss is also our southerners. Liu Quan said.

"This is not far from our company, and I have eaten it once with my colleagues, and the taste is indeed very authentic. The soup base is spicy and spicy, but no one has dared to come with me since, hehe. Li Fushan said with a smile.

"Mr. Li, if you want to eat hot pot in the future, call me, be on call, there are few people in the capital who can eat spicy, or our fellow villagers can eat together. Liu Quan said.

"That's right. Li Fushan nodded, Liu Quan's words did speak to his heart, he was one of the earlier batch of North Drifters, and it has been almost 20 years since he came to the capital, but some habits are still incompatible with the people in the capital.

"Mr. Li, I haven't seen you for so long, I salute you, and I wish you a high level of prosperity and financial resources. Liu Quan opened a bottle of beer, poured a glass for Li Fushan, filled it for himself, raised the cup with both hands and said.

"I came by car today and can't drink. Li Fushan waved his hand.

"Mr. Li, eating hot pot and drinking beer are a perfect match, if you don't drink beer, what can this hot pot taste like? Liu Quan said.

"Another day, let's have a few more drinks when I'm not driving. Li Fushan said.

"Mr. Li, don't worry about driving, I'll find you a substitute driver, na. As he spoke, Liu Quan took out a business card for the driver from his pocket and put it on the table in front of him.

"Heh......" Li Fushan shook his head and smiled, driving without drinking is the best excuse, but everyone has found a good substitute driver, and this reason is useless.

"Wine, I can drink it, but before we drink it, we have to make it clear, what is the matter with you coming to me today?" Li Fushan said.

"Didn't I mention it to you on the phone? I just want to report back to you. Liu Quandao.

"Don't give me sloppy eyes, I'm in the personnel department, and I don't care about business, what are you reporting to me?" Li Fushan asked.

"That's right, a few days ago, our store manager was injured by a few gangsters when he went home at night, and now he is still recuperating in the hospital, it is estimated that he will have to recuperate for at least half a year, so the district wants to promote a substitute store manager to temporarily manage our Jingxin store, and our regional manager means to promote within the store, and I am also an old salesman, so I am a little tempted. Liu Quan said.

"Since your regional manager has said that you want to be promoted within the store, why don't you go to your regional manager and invite me to dinner?" asked Li Fushan.

"As for the regional manager, I've already said that, but because there are other competitors in the store, I'm worried that it's a little unsafe, so I want to ask you for help. Liu Quan said.

"That's right. Li Fushan touched his chin, as if thinking about Liu Quan's words.

"Mr. Li, this is a little bit of my heart, please accept it. As he spoke, Liu Quan took out a white envelope from his pocket and handed it to Li Fushan.

"What do you mean by that? Bribe me. Li Fushan frowned and asked.

"No, no, don't get me wrong, I'm not bribing you, it's just a little heart, I want you to help me in the personnel department, so that I have a better chance of promotion. Liu Quan hurriedly explained.

"Liu Quan, it's against the company's rules to do this. Li Fushan sighed, neither took the envelope, nor did he say no, just stared at Liu Quan tightly.

"Mr. Li, you are serious, everyone is a fellow countryman, if something happens, I won't look for you, who can I find?" Liu Quan showed a pitiful look.

"Liu Quan, although the personnel department is in charge of job transfers, some things still have to be done according to the rules, not that whoever we want to be on can be on it, one is to look at your own ability and qualifications, and the other is to follow the recommendation of your direct leaders, we just play a role in review. Li Fushan said.

"Mr. Li, I understand that I am also working hard, and whether it is qualifications or business ability, I am ranked first in the store, and our regional manager also appreciates me, as long as you are helping here, there will be no problem. Liu Quan said solemnly.

"At home, I rely on my parents to go out and rely on friends, since we are fellow countrymen, we naturally want to help each other, I can't guarantee that you will be promoted, but I will do my best to help you at a critical moment. Li Fushan pondered for a moment and said.

"Thank you, Mr. Li. Liu Quan showed gratitude, pushed the envelope in front of Li Fushan again, and said: "Mr. Li, you need money to do everything now, you can accept this envelope, even if it is to help me invite my colleagues from the personnel department to dinner." ”

"Then I'll take it and invite them to a meal, and it's easier to talk to you. Li Fushan picked up the envelope, swiped it with his right index finger and thumb, and estimated that it should have three or four thousand yuan.

Li Fushan didn't open the envelope in person, and planted it directly into the pocket of his jacket, because the envelope was a bit big, and part of the pocket was exposed, but there were no outsiders here, and he was not afraid of being taken away by others.

Seeing Li Fushan accept the red envelope, Liu Quan's mood was very complicated, both joy and heartache, after all, it was thousands of yuan, and he would still be reluctant to give it to others if he took the initiative to give it to others.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Quan comforted himself, the money had already been sent, it was useless to have a heartache, it was the right thing to do well, squeezed out a smile, picked up the wine glass, stood up, and said:

"Mr. Li, I toast you, let's not get drunk tonight. ”

"Xiao Liu, you're welcome, sit down. Li Fushan said.

"Mr. Li, I'll do it first as a respect. Saying that, Liu Quan poured a glass of beer into his stomach with the same neck, Liu Quan has been mixed in the society for so many years, and he has long had experience, and he wants to ask someone to do something, one is to give money, and the other is to match people well, as long as the wine is enjoyable, many things are not a thing.

After receiving the money, Li Fushan's attitude was also different, he also picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and said: "Xiao Liu, we are fellow countrymen, don't always call Mr. Li Mr. Li, I am a few years older than you, if you don't dislike it, call me Brother Li, what's the matter?"

"Don't say anything, Brother Li, I'll toast you again. Liu Quan poured the wine, showing a look of excitement, as if he had found his long-lost brother, and after speaking, he poured a glass of beer into his stomach.

"Happy, you kid is an errand guy. Li Fushan gave a thumbs up and was very satisfied with Liu Quan's attitude.

"Brother Li, try this mutton, it's smooth and tender, and it doesn't smell yet. Liu Quan stood up, scooped up a spoonful of mutton with a colander, and put it into Li Fushan's bowl.

"It's all my own brothers, don't worry about me, eat you. Li Fushan waved his hand, poured a large sip of beer, and began to eat the mutton in the bowl.

I don't know if it's because of eating hometown-flavored hot pot, drinking beer, or receiving red envelopes, the relationship between the two has warmed up sharply, and the words are like old friends who haven't seen each other for many years. (To be continued.) )
