Chapter 117: Showdown
PS: Tomorrow will continue three chapters, please support friends!
Walking back to the bedroom, Xia Qin sat on the edge of the bed and said to her husband who was resting on the bed: "That Wang Qiao in your class is very distinctive, he cooks good food, can also play basketball, and becomes Bobo's idol, I think it is the material for the president of the student union." β
Huang Yonggui said objectively: "He has been in the rivers and lakes, of course, he is more mature than ordinary classmates." As for whether he can be the president of the student union, he has to observe again, listen to his words, and watch his deeds. β
Xia Qin sneered: "Isn't it just the chairman of a student self-governing organization, it's just a marionette in the department, it's so important, and you have to listen to his words and watch his deeds." β
Huang Yonggui said: "The president of the student union is very beneficial in distribution, and it is a scarce resource that is still valuable. What's more important is to choose the president of the student union, my job is at least half easier, and I will have more time to go home with you, and it doesn't matter if you say it's important. β
Xia Qin said: "I like your rhetoric." I suggest that Wang Qiao be the president of the student union, he is capable and can take care of the student work, and you can come back to accompany me and the children more. In comparison, Qin Zhengao is much more naΓ―ve, and it is suitable for him to be a minister. β
Huang Yonggui stretched out his hand from the quilt, patted his wife, and said: "I still have to think about the affairs of the student union, in short, no matter who is elected as the president of the student union, I will go home more to accompany you and have another pair of twins." β
"Think beautifully." Xia Qin felt itchy and twisted her waist.
The couple talked and laughed for a while, and Xia Qin went out to clean up the living room. The phone in the living room rang, Xia Qin answered and said a few words, and shouted: "Yonggui, Wu Xiang's phone." β
Huang Yonggui came to the living room with his clothes on. "Well, you go back. Pay attention to safety on the train at night. If you come back early after the Spring Festival, you will definitely be very busy after the start of school. β
I'm about to go home for the Spring Festival. Wu Xiang was very happy.
After hanging up the public magnetic card phone, she sat in the back seat of the Wangqiao motorcycle. Motorcycles are like nimble fish, turning left and right on crowded city streets, and it takes more than 20 minutes to come to Shannan Railway Station. Wu Xiang hid behind Wang Qiao's back to avoid the cold north wind, and suddenly felt that it was really good for a man to have broad shoulders. As a girl from the suburbs of Shuangjiang, staying in school is her most brilliant dream, and for this dream, she must give up the dreams of many girls. Including love in college.
When he arrived at the train station, Wang Qiao took off his sister's new helmet, his cheeks were white from the cold, his nose was red, he sniffed, and said, "Wu Xiang, it's very sinful to ride a motorcycle in winter." β
Wu Xiang untied his long scarf and said, "I'm okay, I hid from the wind behind you." And the scarf is thick. Thank you, Brother Man. If you don't send it, this point in time is still troublesome. Knowing the nickname "Brother Man" in Huang Yonggui's house, she felt that this nickname was very in line with Wang Qiao's image, with both form and spirit. In private, he also called Wang Qiao a barbarian brother.
Shannan Railway Station has always been poor during the Spring Festival, and from time to time there are news that single women have been stolen, robbed and even molested, Wang Qiao bought a platform ticket to enter the platform. The rumbling train brings a whirlwind. Squinted Wu Xiang's eyes, and she was in a trance for a while. I secretly feel that it is a happy thing to have such a handsome and capable boyfriend.
On the train, Wu Xiang waved to Wang Qiao through the window. The flute sounded for a long time. The train slowly moved, and the bridge turned into a small black dot.
In the eyes of the little black dot, the train turned into a long worm that could run, and fled from Shannan with a whimper in the cold wind.
Wang Qiao rubbed his hands and left the platform of the railway station, and secretly thought: "Spring Festival train tickets are difficult to buy, if it weren't for a senior brother who was a soldier at the train station, Wu Xiang might not be able to get a ticket." Mr. Huang has been a counselor for so many years, and this network of relationships is a little scary. β
In the cold wind, we returned to the old taste restaurant, which is about to usher in the best dinner of business, the kitchen is methodically preparing the ingredients, and the old soup is filled with the special mellow aroma of Changdong cuisine.
Emin, who had a frosty face, called Wang Qiao to the office on the second floor, closed the door, and said, "Brother Man, you should have a pager, I have been waiting for you all afternoon." β
Looking at Ai Min's serious expression, Wang Qiao said: "So serious, is Lao Duan pretending to be a monster?" β
Ai Min said: "Lao Duan officially spoke today, if we don't agree with him contracting the kitchen, he will resign and leave tonight, including the two apprentices, and go together." I talked with him for more than an hour, and I talked about two sentences, one is to contract the kitchen, and the other is to increase the salary. The business of the old taste restaurant is so good, and the old Duan people still have merit, if they leave during the Spring Festival, it will have a great impact on the restaurant. β
Wang Qiao was angry and said, "Lao Duan's salary increase and contracting the kitchen are both negotiable things, but I don't accept them using this method." I hate being threatened the most in my life, compromise today, and make new demands tomorrow, and in the end we still have to turn against Lao Duan, rather than this, it is better to cut the hemp quickly and let him walk. β
Ai Min said: "Business has just improved, and Lao Duan will definitely be affected when he leaves." And it's approaching the Spring Festival, so it's hard to find a chef. β
Wang Qiao's attitude was very clear: "Go to the butcher and eat the hairy pig." In the past few days, I have not attended classes, and I have been in the kitchen every day, and I will make the pickled cabbage fish and fat intestine hot pot fish, and you will get the roast chicken and stir-fried vegetables, and at the same time advertise to recruit chefs. β
"Then I'll talk to them one last time after dinner today, and if they can't talk, let them walk."
After the collapse of the conversation with Lao Duan, Emin has been restless. After Wang Qiao made the final decision, despite the difficulties faced by Lao Wei, she had the backbone, but her mood calmed down completely, and she began to think about how to deal with the most difficult situation, and said: "When I used to be a dunzi, there was a dispute between the boss and the chef when he wanted to let the chef walk, and the fight was full of blood. Lao Duan also has a bad temper, and I'm afraid of conflict. β
"I know a bunch of students from the physical education department, who are tall and tall, and I call them over for dinner in the evening. With this group of people as the backing, Lao Duan didn't dare to do anything. "From childhood to adulthood, Wang Qiao has fought countless wild fights, especially after training in the detention center, the level of fighting has improved by leaps and bounds. If it were before, he would definitely not find a group of people to suppress the field, and after arriving at Shanda, his heart gradually changed. He doesn't want to solve problems with just his fists.
After agreeing the details with Ai Min, Wang Qiao rode his motorcycle straight to the female dormitory of the Department of Physical Education. The aunt who guards the door of the dormitory is concentrating on making sweaters. looked at the tall boy standing at the door with vigilant eyes, and said to himself: "These babies don't go home on vacation." Patronizing and falling in love, the old people don't want it anymore, and they are not famous. She didn't wait for Wang Qiao to say more, and said, "Which girl are you looking for, tear your throat and shout, I don't bother to pass it on to you." β
Wang Qiao stood downstairs and shouted: "Lu Yifan, Lu Yifan." β
After two voices, Lu Yifan poked his head out from the fourth floor and saw that it was Wang Qiao. jokingly: "Come to me at this time, if you want to eat, please eat, I'll come down." After receiving Wang Qiao's affirmative answer, she put on a military coat and went downstairs.
Lu Yifan said quickly: "Don't coax me to eat noodles, if you want to eat, eat a big meal." β
Wang Qiao said: "You call a few friends who play ball, and invite you to eat roast chicken at the old taste restaurant outside the door." β
Lu Yifan said: "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief, why do you invite us to dinner?" I'll tell you first. There's no way to chase me. β
Wang Qiao smiled: "How are you like a Tang monk who is instigating, at seven o'clock, in the lobby on the second floor of the old taste." β
At seven o'clock in the evening, two men and three women came to the old taste. Wang Qiao opened a bottle of liquor. said: "This restaurant was opened by my sister and someone else, and it has only been more than two months. Today I have a treat, everyone let go and drink. β
Around eight o'clock. Except for a few people from the physical education department in the lobby on the second floor, there were no other guests.
When Emin and Lao Duan came up from the ground floor. Wang Qiao patted the shoulders of the two boys in the Department of Physical Education with a wine glass and said, "You drink slowly." The boss called me something. β
The two big men with a height of 1.8 meters were very intimidating, Lao Duan squinted at Wang Qiao, and followed Ai Min into the office silently.
Ai Min said: "Master Duan, thank you for your contribution to the old taste in the past three months. β
Lao Duan sat on a bamboo and rattan chair, smoking with a gloomy face, interrupting Ai Min's words and saying, "I didn't want to come at the beginning, but you begged me to come." Three thousand yuan a month is too low for a master of my level. β
Ai Min said: "Master Duan, I asked you how much your salary is, and you shouted a price, and I didn't lose a penny." We haven't made any money in the past few months, and we don't have a single point less than you. β
"There are more than 30 tables in total from the private room to the lobby, and when business is good, we do it all day without a break. You make a lot of money as a boss, but you can't lose our efforts. Lao Duan patted his chest and said: "Let's open the skylight and say brightly, my salary is 5,000 yuan a month, and the two apprentices are 3,005, or we will contract the kitchen and procurement, and you as the boss just collect the money." Your procurement is really not good, the vegetables you buy are not good, and the thieves are expensive, and you eat at least hundreds of dollars a day. β
The person engaged in procurement was a laid-off worker in a factory of Ai Min, and Lao Duan accused procurement in front of Wang Qiao, which made Ai Min embarrassed.
Wang Qiao said slowly: "Master Duan, we can't afford to raise a big god in a small temple here, and we can't afford to agree to these two conditions." β
Lao Duan has been mixing in the kitchen for more than 20 years, cutting meat with a kitchen knife every day, and he is a little angry, and said: "Since we can't talk about it, let's calculate the wages clearly, our round-trip bus and boat fares, overtime pay on Saturdays and Sundays, and three times the salary on national holidays." You're going to dismiss the three of us, and you're going to pay one more month's salary. Settle the accounts clearly, we will immediately roll up the shop and leave, if it is not good, you should not think about business. β
Hearing the last sentence, Wang Qiao's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and said: "You settle the accounts first, and after you calculate it, you will bring it to us for verification, and not a penny will be missing you." But tomorrow we're going to open as normal, it's my business, so you don't care. β
The fierce light was like a sword, Lao Duan even felt a little pain in his eyes, he avoided Wang Qiao's gaze, and said stiffly: "If ten days and eight days are not a good account, we will hang it here." It's still the same sentence, it's not clear, don't think about business. β
Ai Min didn't expect that Lao Duan would be so domineering and scoundrel after turning his face, if she were to deal with this situation alone, there would be a chance that she would make it difficult. Wang Qiao sat here, and she felt that she had something to rely on.
Wang Qiao said angrily: "You are still gasping when you say you are fat, you settle the accounts by yourself tonight, and take the money and leave tomorrow." As long as you dare to play tricks here, you won't get a penny, and I'll throw you on the street. β
There are two strong men in the lobby, Lao Duan knows that he can't take advantage of the fight, and Wang Qiao's family has the support of the Dongcheng police, his arrogance has no reason to weaken by three points, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Ai Min, when you were in Yuehua Restaurant, I taught you a few days, and now treat the master like this, I didn't expect you to be an ungrateful person." β
Emin said softly, "According to the rules of the trade, if you want to leave, you have to say hello a month in advance, so that we can have time to find a new chef." Now we don't care about these things, we can calculate the money and disperse. Everyone is in a restaurant, and the mountains and rivers do not change, and maybe they will meet again one day, saving some face for each other. β
Wang Qiao took out a cigarette and threw one to Lao Duan.
Lao Duan sat for a while and said, "I'll go and discuss with the two apprentices." Boss Wang wants me to roll up and leave, and I can't be too careful about money, otherwise I won't be able to explain to my two apprentices. β
Lao Duan calculated that Ai Min, a weak woman, couldn't support the situation of the old taste restaurant, and originally wanted to give himself more money after the business was booming, but who knew that Ai Min had Wang Qiao's support and a tough attitude, and the situation was stiff, so he had no face to continue to stay, so he had to choose to leave.
This is a lose-lose result, Lao Duan and his two apprentices can't find a home during the Spring Festival, and Wang Qiao and Ai Min's restaurant business will inevitably suffer.
