The lights are red and green, and the eyebrows and eyes in the drunken eyes are like the moon, which makes people intoxicated.

Zhou Ming couldn't drink in Meixi Town, but when he came out, the cold wind blew, and the drunkenness dissipated. I found a small bar with He Yuelian that ran late at night, sat opposite each other in the booth, drank the plum wine brewed by the restaurant, ordered several plates of snacks such as duck tongue and rabbit head, and chatted while eating.

"Why is Mr. Zhou staring at others, I look ugly. He Yuelian glanced at Zhou Ming, brushed the curly hair of her sideburns behind the root of her ear, and asked him with a smile.

"The wine and food in Meiyuan are so fragrant that they have filled my stomach, and now I can only envy Manager He for having a good appetite. Zhou Ming said with a smile.

"Zhou always laughs at me for being too good at eating, right?" He Yuelian asked, put her hand between her laps, and stopped eating, and couldn't help laughing at herself, "I opened a restaurant, I really want to eat it myself, whether it is the former reception station or the current plum garden, there are a few dishes that I still make up." But I'm afraid that I won't be able to go to the elegant hall, and I don't have the courage to recommend it to Mr. Zhou to taste it......"

"Really, I'll definitely try them next time. Zhou Ming said.

"No, if you feel bad and lose your business, the plum garden will be closed, and I don't dare to take this risk on my own. He Yuelian said.

"Why, I have a lot of confidence in Manager He, and I must eat it next time. ”

"It's not enough for you to be confident, but the food is served for everyone to taste. If the Japanese guests are not satisfied, I can't afford it," He Yuelian said with a smile, "If Mr. Zhou must eat, I will cook and invite you alone another day, which is what Mr. Zhou wanted." Even if Mr. Zhou is not satisfied, I am not afraid of losing the business of Japanese customers. ”

"Okay, good ......" Zhou Ming laughed, looking forward to eating the dishes cooked by He Yuelian alone, but he was afraid of being too eager, and said, "If you have the opportunity, you must eat the dishes cooked by Manager He himself, even if it is poison, it is not wrong." ”

"Okay, you're laughing at the food I made again," He Yuelian said angrily, "I finally have the courage to show my ugliness, and I call you this laugh, but now I don't have the courage again," Seeing that Zhou Ming was fascinated by her, He Yuelian did not relax, knowing that now men take off their pants quickly, and the ability to lift their pants and not recognize people is also very good, she doesn't want to shoot a bubble of sweat in her body, and she can't get anything cheap at the end, so she can't get any good results if she is in a hurry to ask him to taste what he wants, seeing that today's heat is almost over, she poured him wine with her hand, turned to the serious topic with a smile, and said, "I really have something to ask Mr. Zhou for advice today?"

"What's the matter?" Zhou Ming's eyes were glued to He Yuelian's snow-white little hand holding the pot, compared with the azure porcelain wine shell, the texture was not bad at all, he knew that He Yuelian was ten years older than him, but he really didn't understand, He Yuelian's skin was so delicate, almost no trace of time.

"Now the scale of the plum garden is still small, I can't hold a few tables of banquets at a time, the backyard is still empty and undecorated, I also rented a yard next door, originally thinking about running a hotel, and then I thought about simply opening up the two courtyards and making the scale of the plum garden bigger - but I am afraid that the scale will be bigger, and I won't be able to do any business in the future, and I will lose all my money if I bet on my net worth," He Yuelian said with a smile, "I just boasted in front of Mr. Zhou that I dared to take risks, but in fact I am a coward." This matter has been tossed back and forth in my mind for a long time, and I haven't made up my mind yet, and there is no one to discuss, so I will borrow wine to ask Mr. Zhou for advice today. ”

"I don't have much experience in running a restaurant. Zhou Ming said.

"Mr. Zhou, you're stingy again, if you don't help me analyze it, I'll pay for it later, but I feel wronged......" He Yuelian said coquettishly.

He Yuelian sprinkled coquettishly, and there was another flavor, Zhou Ming's bones were lighter, and he said with a smile: "I know what you are worried about, you are worried that Shen Huai is covering the sky with one hand in Meixi Town, and everyone will give him face, and he will not dare not go to Chen Dan's store for a treat, right?"

"What do you say?" He Yuelian was also resentful when she heard Zhou Ming talk about this, and said, "I contracted the reception station well, didn't I force him out?"

"Shen Huai used to cover the sky in Meixi Town, and no one dared to disobey him, but what about it, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, Shen Huai can't always be unscrupulous, right?" Zhou Ming said with a smile, "There is a news that has not yet been announced to the public, but it doesn't hurt for me to tell you." ”

"What's the matter?" He Yuelian leaned over and asked.

He Yuelian leaned over, her upper body was pressed against the table, she was wearing a velvet jacket indoors, and her bulging chest was directly propped up on the edge of the table, a huge ball, which made Zhou Ming swallow saliva when she saw it.

Seeing He Yuelian's eyes eagerly staring at his face, Zhou Ming also had the pleasure of mastering everything in his heart, and said: "At the party and government meeting last month, Shen Huai took the initiative to take back the entire contracting rights of the cultural station building after half a year, and no longer release it to privately operated hotels, and the town will arrange other uses......

"Wouldn't it?" He Yuelian was very surprised when she heard the news.

He Yuelian was forced to give up the right to contract the guest house and instead contract to operate the supply and marketing cooperative's shopping mall.

Meixi Town's economy has developed rapidly this year, and the supply and marketing cooperatives have also benefited a lot from it, but the extent is not as big as imagined.

From Meixi Town to the city, the transportation is convenient, and the relatively wealthy families in the town are accustomed to shopping in the big shopping malls in the city for any large items. Residents and villagers at the lower levels have not yet benefited significantly from the rapidly developing economy, and it will take time for the overall purchasing power to increase.

On the other hand, the relatively wealthy residents of Meixi Town, including the families of front-line workers in Meigang, have taken the lead in concentrating on Xinmeixin Village in the south due to the transformation of the township. The purchasing power of these groups of people, which has increased with economic development, will be absorbed by the department stores, cigarette hotels and clothing stores that have been opened one after another in the community business districts. In this regard, the supply and marketing cooperatives have lost a considerable number of high-quality customers, and their performance has also been affected.

Maybe for ordinary people, it is quite good to have an income of more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan a year, but He Yuelian is not satisfied.

For more than a year, the tertiary industry in Meixi Town has been most driven by economic growth, and the catering industry is still the catering industry.

After people have money, they always satisfy their appetite first, and this is easy to be satisfied, and even if they accidentally earn a windfall of thirty or fifty yuan, they can also invite three or five friends to have a drink. For more than a year in Meixi Town, not to mention the banquets directly related to Meigang and the town government, even the truck transport drivers, steel traders and a larger number of project construction personnel have also been densely packed to the point that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

Although the catering industry is booming as a whole, the profit level is high and low, compared with the low-end catering with small profits and quick turnover, the profits of business reception banquets at the commercial end are so lucrative that people are greedy. Three or five people have a drink, and a table of wine and food is 350 yuan, and the wine is hot and hearty, while for a high-end business banquet, two or three bottles of wine cost four or five hundred.

The difference and mystery in this, He Yuelian knows better than anyone else, otherwise she would not have turned back to open the Plum Garden Restaurant.

There are more than 30 private rooms on the second and third floors of Zhuxi Hotel, which are full every day during this time.

In addition, Zhuxi Hotel has contracted the four or five floors of the Cultural Station Building as a housekeeping department. In the past, there were almost no guests in the housekeeping department of the reception station, but now there are sixty or seventy rooms in the Zhuxi Hotel, which is almost empty for the major project departments in the town, and there are basically no rooms vacant on weekends.

In He Yuelian's view, most of the cultural station buildings are simply Chen Dan's gold-absorbing machines.

He Yuelian thought that Chen Dan took down the yarn factory warehouse at the Laohe Wharf and renovated the high-end restaurant to expand the business scale of the Zhuxi Hotel, and did not want Chen Dan to give up the contracting right and let the town government take back the cultural station building.

"No, Zhuxi Hotel can now make a net profit of more than 300,000 yuan a month, even if Shen Huai is willing, Chen Danken will let go?" He Yuelian still couldn't believe the news Zhou Ming said.

"......" Zhou Ming was also a little stingy when he heard He Yuelian say this, he didn't expect the Zhuxi Hotel to be so profitable, but thinking about how Shen Huai could be stingy with his lover, he smiled, "Whether you believe it or not, Shen Huai did say so at the party and government meeting." As for the reason, it's what I just said, Shen Huai himself knows that he can't cover the sky with one hand in Meixi Town forever, he is leaving a way out for himself......

"Why?" He Yuelian saw that Zhou Ming felt good, so she simply planned to put more information out of his mouth, holding her chin in her hand, and staring at him eagerly.

"I have to admit that Shen Huai has some ability to run Meigang well," Zhou Ming smiled lightly and said, "This person, if he succeeds, he will inevitably get carried away." Shen Huai is now lying on the credit book for Mei Gang's rise, thinking that Mei Gang's ability to rise is his credit alone, and he will not move anything in the city. However, the city now has to take care of the overall situation and ensure that Meigang and Meixi Town can continue to develop steadily, but Manager He, you also know that patience cannot be unlimited......"

He Yuelian showed a charming smile, if she couldn't see her eyebrows at all, she wouldn't stick to Zhou Ming's side during this time.

In fact, the most obvious sign is that Zhou Ming, as the son-in-law of the deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee, came to Meixi Town, forcibly suppressed him for four months, sat on the cold bench for four months, and suddenly promoted the plenipotentiary representative Mei Gang to participate in the negotiation of the joint venture project.

Meixi Town's economy can be so hot this year, in the final analysis, it depends on the rise of Meigang.

Now Meigang's annual production capacity is less than 200,000 tons, and the production capacity of the joint venture project can reach 300,000 tons in one step - these news are not top secret in Meixi Town.

In the final analysis, Shen Huai first mastered Meigang, and then further mastered Meixi Town, and kicked Du Jian out.

At this time, Zhou Ming led the negotiation of the joint venture project on behalf of Meigang, is this sign not obvious enough?

Although she stood at a low level, how could she know that Shen Huai would be the grandson of the former vice premier, she only knew that Shen Huai could run rampant in Meixi Town because of the relationship with Tan Qiping, secretary of the municipal party committee.

Zhou Ming didn't say who in the city couldn't command Shen Huai, but He Yuelian could know from the various signs during this time and the fact that Xiong Wenbin and Su Kai were present today, but Shen Huai was obviously in Meixi, and she could also know that Tan Qiping, the secretary of the municipal party committee, was beginning to be dissatisfied with Shen Huai - for her, knowing the news was enough.
