Liu Weiguo didn't expect things to become so complicated, and he didn't know where to start for a while. If it was just to deal with gangsters like Wang Zhibang and Sixth Uncle, he believed that Cheng Liping would definitely be able to handle it easily, but now that so many forces are involved, every step they take seems to be a little difficult.

"How's the business?" Liu Weiguo decided to change the topic, and Cheng Liping of the province was worried about the things in front of him again.

"It's okay," Cheng Liping smiled, "The chef can be the boss." ”

"Then give him the Shell Hotel." Liu Weiguo said neatly.

"If you want to give it to him, you can change the procedures when you come back." Cheng Liping said with a smile, "I don't have time to do this, at this juncture, I have to deal with the business of the distant flour group." ”

Liu Weiguo used to be a businessman who was interested in water production, and he didn't know anything about the development rhythm of this kind of listed company, so he couldn't help anything. However, he knew very well in his heart that the Shell Hotel could not be compared with the distant flour group at all, and Cheng Liping could bring the flour group up, and the benefits would be much greater than that of ten Shell Restaurants.

"Where's your girlfriend?" Liu Weiguo asked again, "If such a big thing happens, it is impossible for her to stay out of it, right?" ”

Cheng Liping really didn't know how to answer this question, because he hadn't contacted Tian Zicheng in the past two days. Although Tian Zicheng called him several times, he really didn't know how to face Tian Zicheng. On the hill of Peach Blossom Fairy Village, the two of them have spread things out, and it is obviously unrealistic to continue their love, but Cheng Liping doesn't want to turn against Tian Zicheng.

Liu Weiguo seemed to be able to guess Cheng Liping's difficulties, laughed maliciously twice, and hung up the phone. Cheng Liping originally planned to ask about the situation of Hu Hao and Ding Er, but he didn't expect Liu Weiguo to give him time to ask, and called back according to the dialed number, and suddenly there was a system prompt that could not be connected.

This guy's sense of secrecy is really in place, Cheng Liping thought with a wry smile.

After coming out of the hospital, Cheng Liping called his parents back again. I've been so busy these days that I haven't even had time to ask if anything is going on at home. The phone rang a few times and was answered by my mother. When I asked my dad where he went, my mother said that Mr. Ren from the winery came over last night, so he had to drive your dad to the winery, and said that he would arrange an errand for him over there.

Cheng Liping was a little confused, his father used to farm, and later he sold miscellaneous grains, what kind of work could he do in the winery. Could it be that Uncle Ren deliberately arranged a position for his father in order to please himself? asked my mother this question, my mother couldn't figure it out, and said that Mr. Ren said it very politely, and my father couldn't get in the way of other people's face, so after drinking a few glasses of wine, he followed with a fart.

Let's go, anyway, Uncle Ren is a smart person, and it is impossible to arrange any heavy work for Dad. Cheng Liping thought about it like this, and suddenly heard his mother ask: "How are you and Orange now, she came to the house yesterday and said that she didn't find you." ”

"Huh? What about her going home? Cheng Liping asked in surprise.

"Yes, I made a meal, but don't say it, this girl is really good. Pingwa'er, you are blessed. The mother couldn't be more satisfied with this daughter-in-law, and her tone was full of joy.

Cheng Liping glanced at Xu Jingwen beside her, and saw that there was nothing unusual on her face, so he said vaguely: "I've been too busy these days, I'll contact her when I'm done with the things at hand." ”

My mother answered and said, "Okay, then my mother will rest assured." Pingwa'er, let me tell you, Orange is such a good girl, you can't let people down. ”

Cheng Liping has two big heads, and now the distance between him and Tian Zicheng is getting farther and farther away, I am afraid that he will not even be a friend in the future, and he will not be able to live up to it. No, Li Ping didn't want his mother to worry too much, so he hurriedly diverted the topic and asked how his mother was doing recently, whether she had gone to the hospital to hang saline, and whether the old problem of blood viscosity was getting better now.

My mother replied heartily that it was not a big deal, she had a medical insurance card, and she would take half a day to go to the health room for infusion every week, which was cheap. Cheng Liping said a few more gossips, for fear that his mother would mention Tian Zicheng's matter again, so Xu Jingwen could see the clues, so she hung up the phone under the pretext. Xu Jingwen blinked her eyes twice and said, "Is my aunt not in good health?" ”

Cheng Liping nodded and said, "The blood pressure is a little high, the old problem, now I often go to the infusion, and it is much better than before." ”

Xu Jingwen didn't say anything more, obediently grabbed Cheng Liping's arm and followed him to the Shell Hotel.

The main business of the Shell Restaurant is now barbecue and seafood buffets, so there are not many customers at noon. Cheng Liping took Xu Jingwen directly to the second floor, sat down in a fixed private room, and the conscience kitchen opened two bottles of liquor, shouting for the two primary school apprentices to quickly serve the dishes. Cheng Liping, two elementary school apprentices, knew each other, and they were old employees recruited when the hotel opened, although they were only about 20 years old, but they were quite reliable. In the rape fields in the suburbs, he once made a contribution to Chen Dufan's sword fight.

"Sit together, you're welcome." Cheng Liping said with a smile.

The two elementary school apprentices sat down nervously against the conscience kitchen with half of their butts on the chairs. The two called "Brother Cheng" at the same time, but when they arrived at Xu Jingwen, they suddenly got stuck. Cheng Liping chuckled in his heart, these two boys are both veterans, they must have seen Tian Zicheng, but don't accidentally leak this matter, otherwise Xu Jingwen will definitely leave with her hands and stay.

The conscientious chef also realized this problem, and pretended to be angry and shouted in a low voice: "This is my sister-in-law, and I don't say hello to my sister-in-law yet." ”

"Hello sister-in-law." Both apprentices were amazed, but at the prompting of the Chef of Conscience, they still called out in a proper manner.

Xu Jingwen's cheeks were flushed, but her smile was full of happiness. She touched the small bag she was carrying, took out a few red banknotes from her purse, and then stuffed them into the two elementary school students, and said, "When we met for the first time, I didn't prepare a gift for you, so you went back and bought something to eat by yourself." ”

Where have the two apprentices seen this meeting, and they were stunned for a moment. The conscientious chef smiled: "Sister-in-law, the guests in the hotel don't have the habit of tipping, these two boys have a little wooden heads, you thank you on behalf of the two of them." ”

Xu Jingwen smiled and said, "It's okay, but you still call me Sister Wen better, I don't like that title very much." ”

The conscience chef looked at Cheng Liping in surprise, and his eyes seemed to ask if this eldest sister hadn't won it yet. Cheng Liping pretended not to see it, and said paradoxically: "You can call it whatever you want, your own people, don't be so particular." Okay, try the craftsmanship of the two little ones, and it will be cold in a while. ”

The conscientious chef didn't dare to talk too much, so he picked up the chopsticks and desperately pulled the food into his mouth. Cheng Liping tasted a few mouthfuls of the dish and felt that the taste was not bad, although it had not yet reached the level of a conscientious chef, but it was reasonable to go out and set up another door. Xu Jingwen had never eaten the food cooked by the conscience chef, so she couldn't tell the real gap between the apprentice and the master, but she smiled very happily: "It's very good, it's much better than my cooking." ”

Cheng Liping remembered the scene where Xu Jingwen cooked instant noodles for the first time, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Xu Jingwen gently pinched Cheng Liping's thigh underneath, and said, "Mr. Cheng, tell me quickly, can the two of them go to open a restaurant?" ”

Both apprentices pricked up their ears, and it seemed that the two of them had already had the idea of going it alone.

"You two, do you want to go out?" Cheng Liping took a sip of water and asked quietly.

The two boys glanced at each other, lowered their heads and said, "Yes." However, I don't have any money, and I can't even rent a small shop. ”

"I'll pay for you." Xu Jingwen said briskly.

The conscience chef hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Sister-in-law, oh no, Sister Wen, where is this?" Brother Liu said that he would come out of the money, and it would be paid by the Shell Hotel for the time being. ”

"Cook, you're kind to me." Xu Jingwen has the demeanor of a royal sister, and with a wave of her slender hand, she made a unilateral decision.

It's a pity that the final decision-making power is still here with Cheng Liping. "Look at your urgency," Cheng Liping smiled bitterly, "I still grabbed this kind of thing as advancing money." Don't even talk about it, I have a place for the two of them. Cook, you can help them prepare, and take them to the logistics department of the distant flour group in a few days. ”

Xu Jingwen pouted, but didn't say anything more. It's not so simple to go out and open a restaurant, the people from the street office check you, the people from the industrial and commercial bureau check you, the people from the tax office check you, and the people from the urban management bureau still check you. According to the connotation of these two kids, if you don't do it, you will have to do it with others in two days, and when the business is not done, you will put yourself in it.

Although Cheng Liping only said such a sentence, Xu Jingwen and the conscience chef knew that this was the result of Cheng Liping's careful consideration. Anyway, now the flour group is its own industry, and the logistics and catering department has two cooking masters, and no one will gossip.

After eating, Cheng Liping took Xu Jingwen to the Lion Bar in the west of the city. Zhou Shouchang has already gone out to travel, and there are only two fathers and sons, Zhou Jianjun and Zhou Shiqiang, who are at the bar. The two beckoned Cheng Liping to sit down in the living room, said hello to Xu Jingwen again, and then talked about what happened in Li Cheng in the past two days. Zhou Jianjun said in a tone full of vicissitudes: "The mountain rain is about to come, the wind is full of buildings, this city has been peaceful for so many years, and now it is facing an eventful autumn." ”

Cheng Liping didn't answer this sentence, lest Xu Jingwen know that he took the risk to rescue Cheng Hongbin. You must know that when she was in Gao Lu in Vietnam, Xu Jingwen didn't have a good impression of Cheng Hongbin. "Mr. Zhou, what happened to calling me yesterday?"

"Oh, it's not a big deal, I'm just talking to you." Zhou Jianjun said.

Cheng Liping smiled and said, "Yesterday, the phone was muted, and I didn't hear it, don't be surprised." ”

Zhou Jianjun waved his hand and said, "That's right, the stock of the flour group has risen well, and people have come to me these days, planning to buy some shares with cash." Now you're at the helm of the Far Away Group, so I'd like to hear your opinion. ”

Cheng Li was blank and had no expression at all. As Zhou Jianjun said, now he is the big boss of the distant flour group, and those people who buy shares don't talk to him, but go to Zhou Shouchang, what does this mean? Although Zhou Shouchang once gave out a share of 10 million, and he didn't plan to swallow him up with 10 million, talking about things in this way still made Cheng Liping feel very uncomfortable.

"Not for sale." Cheng Li said flatly.

"Now the stock price is four yuan six," Zhou Shiqiang interjected, "They plan to buy five million shares with 30 million, and they can make a lot of money by calculating it." ”

This price is high enough, Cheng Liping smiled meaningfully. "Not for sale," Cheng Liping said, "There is no shortage of money for the time being." ”
