Volume IV, Section 21 The Dinner

Xu Yunjian had a few beautiful meals, they were just when they could eat, although the hot pot restaurant was in charge of the rice, no matter how good the food was, they would get tired of eating it every day, not to mention the hot pot that was extremely caloric and spicy. Although Lu Li occasionally leads employees to go out to improve, he is also generally based on Chinese food, while the Ou family makes Western-style food, which is usually not eaten, so this time it is really like a storm. At the end of the day, there was nothing left on the long table of a stainless steel tray with a few fruit peels, or a few toothpicks, or a vegetable leaf or two, and nothing else!

Xu Yunjian randomly put a piece of fragrant pear into his mouth, slurping his tongue with satisfaction, and suddenly noticed, oh no, why did you eat it? "I said, 'It's bad, you see?' Let's eat it all! ”

"Nonsense, didn't you say it, can you let go of the food?" Zhang Qing was not ambiguous, the belt around his waist had been loosened three times in a row, and his belly was round and round.

"Can't you eat them all? Why didn't you look at it? ”

Li Tiehan raised his hand and gave it to him, and scolded in a low voice: "CNM! Even if you eat evilly, you still count us? ”

Gu Zhong and Ah Mao were also angry and funny, gathered around, and whispered, "Then what should I do?" ”

"I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm afraid of being in a little hurry. We are guests, and Lawyer Ou will not say anything even if he is unhappy, so it is different. That, Zhang Qing, you go and talk to him. ”

"I'm not going, why aren't you going?"

"Don't pull it down, I'll go!" Xu Yunjian mustered up his courage and walked to Lu Li's side, he was talking to Ou Zihao, watching them laugh and laugh. Thinking about it, his mood should not be bad, "Xiaoxiao, it's broken, we ate everything that others prepared!" ”

Lu Li frowned, turned his head to look over, Zhang Qing and Gu Zhong met his gaze. They couldn't help but shrink their necks; Fortunately, he only glanced at it, then turned his head away, and didn't seem to be angry? Xu Yunjian didn't dare to stay longer, and after saying a word, he turned his head and ran away. Lu Li shook his head with a wry smile at Ou Zihao and whispered a few words.

Ou Zihao was stunned for a moment, looked up, and couldn't help but smile on his face. "It's okay, there's still someone in the kitchen, I'll ask them to rearrange it. You won't be mistaken. Please wait. ”

He turned around and went to Zhang Luo, Lu Li walked out of the hall quickly, Xu Yunjian followed out timidly, the sky outside was already dark, there was bright lighting under the porch and on the grass in front of him, and the scenery and guests from near and far could see it very clearly. "Tiny, don't be angry. We...... We're all hungry. ”

"You ......," Luli turned his head and slapped them on the head one by one, "are you all starving ghosts reincarnated?" You can eat a little bit of this kind of thing, don't you see that there are so many customers? Why did you eat it all?! ”

Xu Yunjian and Gu Zhong knew his temper, but they were most afraid that he would not express it. It's okay to have a seizure like this, "No, don't hit us, it's really delicious." We don't remember eating it. Besides, no one came to get it at all, so we thought, maybe they have all finished eating, and they are not hungry, and if they are all left, how bad it will be? ”

"No matter how big your appetite is, people will fill your food appearance!" Lu Li scolded a few times, took a breath and said, "Wait a while to go in, don't eat like this, you know?" ”

Xu Yunjian nodded urgently, he licked his tongue, and added: "Xiaoxiao, I didn't eat caviar this time, hey, it seems that there is less in my mouth." ”

"Go to the toilet, where there is a smell!" As soon as the words came out, several people laughed in low voices at the same time.

Lu Li really didn't have anything to do with these pieces of material, scolded a few words, led them back again, and saw Ou Pei Linying, Ou Chenli and Ou Zihao's family laughing, they had ghosts in their hearts, looking at how the smiles of the other three people looked at themselves, Lu Li took a few steps forward, and said with a wry smile: "Mrs. Ou, look, I'm really sorry ......, and I have to trouble the people in your house." ”

"Nothing." Ou Pei Linying didn't take such a thing to heart at all, in fact, Xu Yunjian's words made sense, such things are decorations in many cases, and the final result is that the family eats them, and if they don't do it, they will spoil this high-quality ingredient, "If Mr. Xu likes them, I'll wait a while and let someone help you pack them and take them away?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xu Yunjian screamed out without a mouth, seeing that Lu Li's eyes were not good, he hurriedly argued: "Mrs. Ou, don't get me wrong, this time it's not for me, but for Xiaoxiao, we all ate, and he didn't eat a bite!" ”

The three members of the Ou family were all moved, Ou Zihao nodded, and said, "I know now why Mr. Lu is always thinking about you." The subtleties of this kind of language can be seen in your friendship! ”

"Of course, of course we are not ordinary, we are best friends!"

Ou Pei Linying was stunned, and Lu Li smiled wryly, obviously distressed by his carelessness in making friends. After a while, everyone smiled at the same time, only Xu Yunjian didn't know that he had said the wrong thing, "What's wrong, Xiaoxiao, are you happy?" ”

This time, the mother and daughter of the Ou family laughed even more happily!

"Mr. Lu......" Ou Zihao nodded to him, "Let's have a few words?" ”

Lu Li nodded naturally and followed him into the restaurant, and when he entered here, he felt even more embarrassed! The original servants of the Ou family were busy again, obviously making urgent compensation for Xu Yunjian's several evils, "That, I'm sorry for causing you trouble." ”

Most of the people stared at him, but they couldn't understand his words, Ou Zihao explained in English, and a woman with a short stature and a turmeric face in the crowd said, "She told you, you're welcome, these are their business." ”

Lu Li nodded noncommittally, watched Ou Zihao walk to the wine cabinet opposite the cooking table, chose it, and brought out a bottle of blue porcelain bottle, "This is the best Shanxi Fenjiu, which was exported from Jin Province for the last time in the 37th year of the Republic of China, that is, the year of the founding of the mainland." ”

"This ......" Lu Li was secretly a little sad, Ou Zijie was not good at drinking. But he is very good at storing wine, and his collection is all top famous wine, just take a bottle out, it is very valuable, it can be said to drink a little less, Ou Zihao uses such a good wine to feast guests. I really don't know whether to enjoy it or excuse myself, "Mr. Lu, the so-called goods seller, such a wine has entered the belly of a big wine barrel like yours, and it is right, so you don't have to be polite." ”

"What kind of scholar am I? I just can drink it, and can I recognize whether it is a good wine or not, and appreciate such a good wine. It's two different things entirely. ”

Ou Zihao laughed, "One thing, one thing." Come, let's sit down. He took Lu Li's hand, and without leaving, he sat down on the two high stools in front of the cooking table, opened the long-dusted wine bottle, and a mellow smell filled the air. He took two glasses and slowly filled them. The wine has been left out for too long. The water had evaporated, and what was left was the essence of it, which had taken on a viscous syrupy form, but in the glass, such a wine, even with Lully's amount, did not dare to drink more. Raising the cup, he took a shallow sip, "Oops, good wine!" ”

"Oh? What's a good way? ”

"I don't know," Lu Li's answer made Ou Zihao stunned. "I have limited school, and my knowledge is even more barren, and the words that can be said are the word 'good wine', as for how good it is, I can't describe it at all."

Ou Zihao laughed, "Just from these few words, you can see that Mr. Lu is a serious and sincere person!" ”

"Where, you're complimenting."

Ou Zihao no longer praised each other with him, and said: "I have heard frequently that Mr. Lu has terminated his cooperation with Stephen's Company? ”

"Ah, this matter, in fact, it is not a suspension, we have not started at all, so why talk about abort?"

"I heard that it's because the other party's request doesn't match yours?"

"Yes." Lu Li hastily explained, "...... I still think that such a situation is not good for my future development, don't you say? ”

Ou Zihao smiled and shook his head, "I'm sorry, I don't agree with your words. ”

"Oh?"

"Depending on one or several of your current hot pot restaurants, a small business, you can do everything yourself, what about in the future? If you are willing to live your life in a hot pot restaurant and are only satisfied with food and clothing, then there is no need to mention it; On the contrary, if you want to achieve greater development in the shopping mall, or even go out of Hong Kong and face the world, do you think that with your existing dozen or twenty employees, you can also support it? Mr. Lu, I have no intention of denying the quality of your staff, but in fact, these people are obviously not very deeply educated, and their comprehension and understanding of business behavior are still in a very rudimentary stage. I think you'll agree with me, right? ”

Luli gritted his teeth and smiled bitterly, "Yes, I agree. ”

"That's it, you've often told me that you were still very interested in cooperating with Stephen's company, especially about the other party helping you train managers on your behalf, aren't you?" After receiving an affirmative reply, Ou Zihao said: "If it is my opinion, even if I give up these hot pot restaurants, I must get a chance to be trained in an international company like Stephen!" Of course, this is a very extreme idea, and I wouldn't agree with you doing it. ”

Luli smiled bitterly, "Yes, I see what you mean. This thing...... I will seriously consider it again. ”

Ou Zihao nodded, slapped him on the shoulder, looked back at the kitchen door, and met his niece's eyes full of anticipation, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the girl immediately became happy, "Uncle, cut the cake!" ”

Lu Li and Ou Zihao walked out of the door, and the latter said, "Mr. Lu, I have a few more words with Pin. ”

"Oh, oh, of course, of course."

Lu Li walked away, the uncle and nephew walked a few steps side by side, and when they arrived under the porch, the cool breeze from the night was blowing, Ou Chenliser shrank for a moment, Ou Zihao hurriedly took off his suit and wrapped himself around his niece's bare shoulders, "Frequently, I have already told him for you, I always can't figure it out, can't you say such a thing yourself?" ”

"Of course he can say it, but he also needs to be able to listen to it!" Ou Chenli looked at the figure of Lu Li in the hall who was laughing and feasting with the guests, and sighed for no reason, "You also know that he has a very strange temper, and he always has a ...... for me Stereotypes, anyway, thank you. uncle。 ”

"My own family, why do you say thank you?" Ou Zihao also felt a little regretful, Lu Li belonged to the top of the people in terms of appearance and temperament, in addition to the identity of a mainlander, it was a match made in heaven with his niece. But just because of some verbal fights back then, I never forgave the frequent behavior of the little daughter, it seems, this guy is really fucking stingy!

"Frequency, let's go in and cut the cake."

*******************************************

After eating the cake, Lu Li and Ou Zihao shook hands, "Mr. Ou, then." Let's preliminarily schedule it for next Monday? May I? ”

"Yes, I'll wait for you in the company's office then. After you come, let's talk in detail. ”

A few said goodbye to the Ou family, and Gu Zhong drove towards Kowloon. All the way to the car, he never spoke, Xu Yunjian thought that he was still angry at the shameless eating of a few people, and he didn't dare to say anything. stabbed Zhang Qing in the back and snorted his mouth. "That, Xiaoxiao, what's wrong today, why don't you say a word?"

"Zhang Qing, Ah Zhong, let me ask you, if we open a new branch. And then let outsiders take care of the day-to-day management, what would you think? ”

Zhang Qingleng paused, how did he answer, he has only been in Hong Kong for a few days? It was Gu Zhong who skillfully manipulated the steering wheel. While saying: "Brother Li, has the matter of cooperation with Stephen's Company changed again?" ”

"Sort of, Mr. Ou said something to me just now, I think about it, it does make sense. We're too short-sighted. After all, although a hot pot restaurant can make money, it is a bit limiting to say that you will live by it for the rest of your life, right? And for greater development, the use of appropriate talents is a must. ”

"I agree with Brother Li," said Cat, "but Brother Li, I'm afraid that the people sent by others are not of the same mind as you?" ”

"This is also a problem that I am very worried about, so when I was leaving, I was going to meet with Ou Zihao again in a few days, and asked him to help me analyze it in detail, if everything is under control, I am ready to start cooperation with Stephen - at the same time, there is another important thing, that is, the substitute training we talked about before, I think, let Zhang Qing, Er Danzi, Ah Zhong and Ah Mao, the four of you accept this kind of substitute training first. How's that, no problem, right? ”

Li Tiehan looked at each other a few times, "Dai Pei, what the hell is it?" ”

"I don't know the specifics, but I guess it's some business management or something like that."

Xu Yunjian suddenly leaned forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Xiaoxiao, why didn't you say let me go?" With so many people and you let them go to class, why can't I go? ”

Lu Li looked back at him in amazement, "Do you want to go?" ”

Looking at his old friend's expectant eyes, Xu Yunjian suddenly rose with courage, "Go, why don't you go?" If you want me to go, I'll go. ”

"Okay, count you too, and you will go when the time comes, how about it?"

"Okay, this is great, they can all go up, why don't you let me go up! I'll show you what I've learned when I get back! ”

Zhang Qing knew that he was not funny, Xu Yunjian was three minutes hot when he was in trouble, and he forced Lu Li to go to the night back then, didn't he also slap his chest loudly? Didn't you give up halfway in the end? This time, look what he has to say!

Lu Li turned around and smiled, and said: "Xu Yunjian, I can tell you, this time is not as big as the time you last night, if we accept the training, it is through the British side, if you are still the same as back then, but it will not be in China back then, even if you are embarrassed, you will only be lost at home, but in front of foreigners!" Do you understand? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

Zhang Qing bumped into him and said with a smile: "You still don't understand? It means that we are just among ourselves, if you lose face in front of foreigners, you will have an international face! ”

Xu Yunjian nodded, this time he understood, "It's okay, our buddy's brain, no problem!" I don't usually use it, but when I do, you can watch it, and I promise to make those Englishmen dumb and one by one - straight eyes! ”

"I don't know if your brain is useful or not, just swear at you, foreigners have to be straight-eyed!" Luli's words made the carriage laugh! (To be continued......)
