Chapter 37

It was only fifteen minutes after Yi Baitang entered the kitchen that a new plate of cabbage with sauce was served on the table.

Xu Lao was staying in the reception room with Mr. Shi at this time, and when Yi Baitang brought the dishes drenched with sauce, he hurriedly started to divide this plate of dishes into two plates, one plate was left for Mr. Shi, and one plate was ready to be brought in to the distinguished guests.

Mr. Shi smiled and said: "It's troublesome for Xu Lao, how can Xu Lao do such a trivial matter?" Xu Lao ordered, can't I divide it? Oops, the dish is coming up, let me taste the feeling of this sauce on the dish! ”

As he spoke, he had already picked up his chopsticks and was ready to put them down.

But I didn't know what to remind Xu Lao of these words, I saw that Xu Lao, who was about to leave, suddenly turned around, picked up the plate in front of Mr. Shi again, and divided the contents of the plate into two, and then entered the room behind the reception room with three-quarters of the things.

The plate in front of Mr. Shi was still the plate that Yi Baitang had loaded with vegetables at the beginning.

One, two, three......

The big oval plate contained three cabbage leaves that could be counted with the naked eye, and the monkey next to Yi Baitang who was beautifully hooked with sauce was not destroyed, but the original good pair of monkeys holding cabbage has now become a monkey carrying vegetable leaves, and his heart is broken.

But his arms couldn't reach his thighs, and everyone was gone, so Mr. Shi could only pick up the chopsticks aggrievedly, and put a vegetable leaf into his mouth......

At the same time, in the room at the back of the reception room, the distinguished guest sitting under the bay window had already thrown off the quilt on his body, ran to a corner that could not be seen through the sliding door, and began to taste the plate that Xu Lao had brought in.

Xu Lao looked at the distinguished guest holding the plate as if he was holding a baby, let alone tasting it with him, and he didn't mean to give him a cabbage leaf at all from beginning to end.

He was also embarrassed, but fortunately he was smart and witty, and he divided another half from Shi Yi's side, otherwise he would not be sitting on wax at this moment......

Thinking like this, as soon as he took a bite of the dish into his mouth, his tongue had just touched the sauce, and his teeth had just torn the ingredients, he felt an indescribable taste rushing to his mind, it was like eating the thick and juicy fried tender beef for the first time, and then chewing two bites, but returning to the innocent Chinese cabbage!

This...... This taste has a lot of layers! Is this plate really a simple sauce with cabbage?

Xu Lao was a little shocked, and subconsciously looked at the distinguished guest, and saw that the distinguished guest who was sitting there and had also eaten a bite of the dish had a faint expression...... It's a little quirky.

Xu Lao was a little worried that the distinguished guest would be as difficult as he was just now, so he simply beat the side drum first: "I think this dish is delicious, I can make this kind of dish at a young age, and the future is limitless, what do you say?" ”

The distinguished guest glanced at Xu Lao and said unexpectedly: "In this plate, even if there are a hundred unsatisfactory places, there is finally one unexpected place." ”

Xu Lao: "......" is so mean! What is your status, what kind of axis did you commit today, why bother with a child? I'm not afraid of losing my old face when I say it, it's really ......

The distinguished guest didn't hear Xu Lao's heart, and said to himself: "Only when children grow up will they slowly understand what the true meaning of cooking is, and this dish will be barely ordinary and casual." ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, Xu Lao heard a trace of embarrassment from the mouth of the distinguished guest.

Then the guest continued: "But you want to take two million for this dish, it's too much, you are only allowed to give him one million, do you know?" You can't give a dime more! ”

Xu Lao: "......" I'm afraid that he will sell the formula to Shi Yi sitting next to him as soon as he turns his head, so that he can take three or four million directly, let alone two million.

But the identity of the distinguished guest in front of him was extraordinary, he frowned for a long time, and could only agree to this request with a bitter face, and then reappeared in the reception room with his heart in mind.

In the reception room, Yi Baitang sat and waited for him, the plate in front of Shi Yi was already clean and slippery, and even the monkey that Yi Baitang sketched at the beginning was dipped in cabbage leaves and eaten clean little by little.

Xu Lao coughed: "That, after my discussion with the internal management committee, I'm afraid it won't work to mortgage two million for the recipe of this sauce, and we can only give one million here, and it can't be more." ”

After saying this, he saw Shi Yi's eyes lit up when he saw Shi Yi sitting next to him, and immediately made a decision, and immediately turned his head to Yi Baitang and said: "This little brother, you don't have to panic, I am the owner of the Yisheng hot pot chain, your sauce chef association doesn't want it, I can directly take the buyout, and by the way, I invite you to be our new product research and development technical consultant, the treatment is preferential, and you can also get dividends, what do you think?" ”

Before Yi Baitang could answer, Xu Lao, who had just finished speaking, listened to Shi Yi's seamless connection, and gritted his teeth angrily: "Shi Yi, you just said that doing business will come first and come first, and you won't sabotage!" ”

Shi Yi continued to smile: "Old Xu, it's not that I want to destroy, isn't this your price too low?" directly cut other people's offers in half! Everyone is a chef, alas, I just have too soft hearts, and I really can't bear to see my peers being lowered, always thinking that if this money is used to save lives, I can't stand by and watch......"

Xu Lao almost sprayed this shameless guy with a spit on his face.

He was about to roll up his sleeves and debate with the other party for 300 rounds, when he suddenly heard a voice from in front of him:

"Okay."

Yi Baitang said.

Xu Lao and Shi Yi turned their heads to look at Yi Baitang together.

Shi Yixi smiled: "Then-"

"I said okay." Yi Baitang said to Xu Lao again, his expression was very calm, "Just one million." ”

Shi Yi realized at this time, and was stunned, thinking to himself what happened? There are people who don't make money even if they don't make money?

Xu Lao was also shocked: "One million...... Will you say yes? ”

"Hmm." Yi Baitang was a little impatient, took out a note directly from his backpack, and put it on the table casually, "I promise, the recipe will be given to you, I only need to verify one thing." ”

"What's the matter?" Xu Lao asked subconsciously.

Yi Baitang stopped speaking at this time.

I saw him suddenly get up from his seat, and in a few strides he walked through the reception room, and before he came to the sliding door of the reception room, he slammed the sliding door between the two rooms open.

Xu Lao reacted at this time, and suddenly became anxious: "What are you doing?" ”

Yi Baitang stood at the sliding door and looked into the room behind.

I saw the sunlight dappled on the bay window against the wall, and the small table across the bay window was placed with a moving plate.

The large windows of the bay window were open, and the wind swept the leaves off the branches and flew into the room.

Outside the window, the sparkling water reflected the sky, and a fathead fish suddenly jumped out of the water and bit a small insect lying across the water.

Yi Baitang's eyebrows were slightly raised.

He looked at the empty room, and after a moment, turned to Xu Lao: "It's nothingβ€”" he said, "I've already verified." ”

Xu Lao: "......" he subconsciously asked, "What have you verified?" ”

Yi Baitang's face was expressionless: "It verifies whether you are hiding a big bastard here who can go to the sky and enter the earth, and is not the same as the spirit behind him." ”

Xu Lao: ".................."

Suddenly, speechless.

Shang Huaiyan is holding a quarterly meeting in the company.

As a large company with a headquarters and tens of thousands of branches, there are always various things that are stipulated.

For example, there is a president meeting every quarter, a general meeting of shareholders every year, a weekly or bi-weekly meeting of managers at all levels, and a monthly manager meeting presided over by Shang Huaiyan.

Today's Shang Huaiyan is a little unrefreshed, since he entered the meeting site, he began to take out his mobile phone to play games, he also played openly, not to mention the president sitting next to him, even the others who were present at the same time, almost all of them saw this scene, so anxious that the assistant behind Shang Huaiyan didn't know how many times he secretly pulled his boss's clothes.

But Shang Huaiyan made up his mind not to speak, not to express his position, and not to do anything meaningless today, so even if his secretary was in a hurry to hang himself, he didn't stop his actions until the president called his name:

"Huai Yan."

Shang Huaiyan raised his eyes, and followed the sound to see the old man sitting on the main seat looking at him with a slight smile.

He also smiled, put down his phone, got up and said, "Boss, you called me?" ”

"Mr. Jiang's case, well done." The old man said kindly.

Shang Huaiyan said with a smile: "Thanks to the help of Manager Shang, if he hadn't worked hard to help keep Mr. Jiang, I wouldn't have reached a comprehensive cooperation intention with the other party so easily." ”

"You're bringing someone with you." The old man said without doubt, and then waved his hand to let Shang Huaiyan sit down again.

He looked at everyone who was doing it, clasped his hands together, the age spots exposed to the light of the room, and only listened to him say slowly:

"Since the tens of millions of orders in cooperation with Mr. Jiang were won by Huai Yan, then this list will be fully responsible for Huai Yan, as long as the chief consul can complete this matter properly, I think he is qualified to join the board of directors."

The meeting room was quiet.

Shang Huaiyan, who sat down again, picked up the mobile phone, and his eyes gathered on the game interface of the mobile phone screen again, and snorted slightly.

The meeting, which began at 3 p.m., ended two hours later.

Everyone walked out of the conference room, and when Shang Huaiyan walked out of the conference room with the assistant, the assistant was walking behind Shang Huaiyan excitedly, and his mouth never stopped along the way: "Mr. Shang, you didn't see Manager Shang's face just now, his fair face is called an iron blue, if you want to start scraping, maybe you can scrape a layer of frost!" ”

Shang Huaiyan didn't want to hear how the business manager was, what he wanted to hear was how Yi Baitang was.

He was very bored, quickened his pace, and planned to go back to the office to pack his things, but at this time, he saw that around the corner in front of him, the business manager came towards him, with a hearty smile on his face, and greeted him: "Mr. Shang!" ”

The voice of the assistant behind him disappeared in an instant.

Shang Huaiyan smiled slightly, nodded to each other with Manager Shang, and then did not stop for a moment, passed by the other party, and continued to move forward.

"Manager......" the man behind the manager whispered, "he just joined the company a few years before you." ”

Manager Shang waved his hand: "You can't say that, Mr. Shang's ability has always been good, and his contacts are very broad, a hero and three gangs, the position of CEO can be said to be well-deserved, even grandpa values him very much, isn't it?" ”

After speaking, he asked the people behind him again: "By the way, when is the golf with Mr. Tan?" ”

"It's three o'clock tomorrow afternoon!" Manager Shang's assistant hurriedly replied.

The two talked to each other's voices in the closed corridor from afar, and Shang Huaiyan, who had not gone far, listened to YiqiΔ“ into his ears, and suddenly remembered who the boss was, and said to the assistant on the side: "You call Mr. Tan." ”

Assistant: "? ”

"Just ask Mr. Tan to go play golf tomorrow afternoon, I just have something to discuss with Mr. Tan." Shang Huaiyan commanded. The other party is the owner of a business circle that has just been established for two years, and the flow of people in the business circle is not bad, this time he can just ask to see if he can win a restaurant for Yi Baitang to do catering.

Assistant: "......"

He burst out laughing.

In the same closed corridor, this sentence and laughter also spread to the business manager.

The two people who walked to the front did not answer, but the assistant next to the business manager silently lowered his head, and his boss's face was as red as burned by fire!

All the qiΔ“ had been resolved, but Shang Huaiyan finally failed to return to the office lightly.

Because at this time, the mobile phone in his pocket rang, the ringtone was specially set, and the moment it rang, he said to Shang Huaiyan: He is the one you think!

Shang Huaiyan suddenly stopped in a hurry.

He stopped, picked up the phone, and there was a smile in his voice: "Bai Tang, why did you call?" I'll be going back in a minuteβ€”"

"I'm downstairs." Yi Baitang said.

"Then why don't you enter the villa? Don't you have a key? Shang Huaiyan hurriedly asked.

"I'm downstairs from you." Yi Baitang said a little more clearly.

Shang Huaiyan suddenly understood.

His heart skipped a beat, and he hurried to the window in the hallway, opened the window and looked under the building.

The red sun on the horizon is about to set.

Patches of clouds appeared in the clear sky, filling the world with orange.

And in front of the buildings where the dark green and dark blue windows reflected the last daylight of the day, Yi Baitang took the mobile phone away from his ear, he stood on the ground, looked up at the building, and no matter how good his vision was, he couldn't see the window belonging to Shang Huaiyan in the chaotic sunlight.

But he seemed to feel it.

So he followed his feelings, put one hand in his pocket, raised his head, and said with ease:

I know you're there.

"I'll wait for you to come down."
