Turn back hours of time.

With the arrival of carnival night, the whole Christmas celebration enters the craziest stage. In the seafood restaurant of the municipal party secretary's house, a crazy uproar is going on. A group of young people who were drinking enthusiastically were bouncing to the beat of the music in the rooftop garden.

Because of its inland location, seafood is a relatively rare and high consumption for the public, which is rarely touched on weekdays. The so-called Christmas is nothing more than a religious holiday in the West, and it has almost no meaning for these non-religious men and women of the Celestial Empire. They're just trying to find an excuse to get together and have a good meal.

They find an excuse to make their young hearts, extravagant, and crazy.

That's all.

Enduring all kinds of noise that could almost be described as noise in his ears, the distant cousin of the secretary of the municipal party committee frowned. Because officials feared corruption and abuse of power for personal gain, the top brass strictly forbade high-ranking officials and their immediate relatives from doing business. Therefore, the secretary of the municipal party committee had to transfer the industry that originally belonged to him to the name of a distant relative who was relatively safe little by little.

The so-called, there are policies and countermeasures, which is probably the current situation.

In front of the man, the experience of the seafood restaurant stood meticulously to report on the work. "Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve and Carnival Eve saw a 50-fold increase in footfall compared to the same period last year. I think this has something to do with the fact that other businesses in the city have been reduced due to the unavoidable manpower...... Our city is a city with relatively backward industry and relatively developed tourism industry. Last year, just because of the Double Egg Festival, the number of visitors to our city was 100,000......"

"And this year, because in the provincial capital city 100 kilometers away, there will be a big event in a few days, and their advertising is overwhelming all over the world. Although the time has not yet come, some of the guests who came early have already packed the whole city...... As a result, the number of tourists in the city this year has increased by at least several times compared to the same period last year......"

"Of course, as a prefecture-level city with a population of 10 million, the consumption data of local households and their relatives and friends will be even larger. Stimulating domestic demand and promoting development has always been the most rational saying of China's economic development......"

Hearing the report of the experience, the man couldn't stop nodding.

He had long heard about the scandals of several other rivals in the city.

In addition to the one that is about to close down due to poor management, there is also a second family that is fighting a cruel property division war due to the divorce of the husband and wife. Oh, she remembered, there was another company, because the CEO suddenly broke his leg from skiing, and he was unable to take charge of the marketing, so the whole company was sluggish. Of course, among these unfortunate events with many digits, the affairs of the Sun family are particularly strange. It is said that the woman suffered domestic violence because of the quarrel with her husband, and even broke two whole ribs.

That's a big joke among jokes.

The heir of a dignified family, the chairman of the entire group, was actually broken by his own subordinates with two ribs. He no longer has the strength to complain about what happened in the Sun family, horizontally and vertically, there are many people who complain about Sun Xiaoyou these days, and he is not bad.

The manager is still debriefing. "In order to receive a full 50 times as many guests, at the suggestion of the marketing manager, we temporarily converted part of the tea house and the unused entertainment space into a buffet dining venue. Even the hanging gardens are fully used......"

He interrupted the manager's report: "Wait, because fresh seafood is not easy to preserve, so if you want to get better ingredients than others, even we have to order in advance." Explain to me how you solved the ingredient problem. ”

As mentioned earlier, seafood does not occupy a high proportion of people's daily lives in this inland city. The vast majority of people, only in rare cases, enjoy this delicious taste from the sea.

As a result, seafood consumption in the city is not significant.

All of the hotel's seafood ingredients come from a seafood store run by a distant relative of a powerful person in the city. But this store did not pick up the goods directly from the coast, he took the goods from the secondary wholesaler in the provincial capital, and the goods in the hands of this sub-wholesaler were picked up from the coastal first-level wholesaler. With so many checkpoints, booking seafood can be a hassle.

Because of the intolerance of this delicate commodity, almost no one will press the goods by hand, and people will only contact the fishermen when there is an order. Therefore, it is not easy to change the order temporarily.

There are 50 times more customers than the same period last year, and how many things these people eat are eating at the bar. Don't forget, they run an all-you-can-eat buffet that allows guests to eat with their stomachs open.

It's unusual for a sub-supplier to be able to get a 50-fold order in a matter of hours.

But the manager shrugged his shoulders and asked not to be unusual. "The eldest lady of the Sun family kicked out the director and manager in charge of her own supermarket together, and then sent a gentleman to take charge of her own supermarket. The loser who won't do anything but take advantage of female employees, the only thing he can do after taking office is to offend his subordinate employees as much as possible. Therefore, the entire supermarket's Christmas plan was completely messed up by him, not to mention, and even the hotel side was implicated. ”

"In normal times, suppliers will find a way to sell these goods to others because of unexpected reasons. We are a tourist city, and the Double Egg Festival is our big market, although it is not as good as the Spring Festival market. But as you know, there were so many unexpecteds this year that the supplier could barely find a home for the items he had ordered in previous years, so I ate them all. Use a price that is two tiers lower than the market price. ”

Seafood belongs to the category of agricultural products, and this kind of commodity is not comparable to electronic products or anything, and it is already remarkable that it can be reduced by two percent.

The man nodded, pleased with the price.

"According to the marketing manager's plan, we have converted some of the unused entertainment spaces, as well as tea houses, KTVs, and table restaurants and private rooms into buffet restaurants. And according to the age level of the people, five themed buffet banquets were opened for them on different floors. Of course, eating only one theme and five themes to enjoy, the price is completely different. There was even a band that was popular with young people who had just come to our city, and my assistant happened to know them. Those people agreed to perform in our restaurant for a very low fee. That's why it's so full. ”

"When it comes to cutlery and décor, you don't have to think about it at all. In our city, every day there are stores opening and new ones closing. My assistant contacted several of them for us and they lent us their equipment. As for employees, because of the bad luck of several hotels in the city, a large number of middle and low-level employees have changed jobs. They are all cheap laborers. The manager smiled a little. Because of the eldest lady of the Sun family, her family's managers have changed jobs several times. ”

"The former manager is now my assistant, and he has worked hard to organize this Double Egg Festival."

Something seemed to be wrong, and everything was going too well.

It feels like I have become the protagonist of a novel with a bang, and it's the kind with a golden finger. There are only the unexpected, there is nothing that cannot be obtained, and all the supporting roles are washed and actively transported to the existence of supplies. It feels weird.

If the secretary of the municipal party committee who is sitting here today, if this man hadn't quarreled with his wife a day ago, and was severely ridiculed by the other party. Then, he must be able to calm down, think quietly, and then find Ni Duan.

But now, his mind is full of thoughts that I want to do my job and make the ghost woman regret looking at the wrong person.

Therefore, some of the most obvious Ni Duan were all ruthlessly ignored by him.

All the best, there's nothing wrong with that.

Fifty times the number of guests, tsk, I have to calculate how much profit the restaurant will get during the Double Egg Festival. Will these profits make my uncle (the secretary of the municipal party committee) look at me differently? I'm going to throw a lot of money in the face of that (his wife).

Let's see if she dares to say that I'm incompetent.

Thinking he was funny, he held out a finger and said, "Remember, those who suddenly change jobs, including your competent assistant, we will only pay them for the probationary period." "The man hummed in his heart, lower costs, higher incomes.

But at this moment, the building shook violently, shaking the ornate chandelier in the general manager's office. With a crackling and popping sound, the two men were surprised to find that the beautiful marble tiles that adorned the office walls cracked with a clatter. At first glance, it looks as if the entire room has been deformed.

"What's wrong? What the hell is going on here? Voices of doubt came and went.

In an instant, even the open-air concert on the top floor stopped, and the surroundings were clear.

"The same shaking, there was once at 7 o'clock, I asked people to check, it didn't look like an earthquake, and there was no project nearby that needed to blow up the mountain and open a mine. I've contacted the experts in the Department of Architecture and they'll be the first to come tomorrow. It's Christmas, and you have to understand that they have to spend time with their wives and children. Although it is nothing more than a Western holiday. But young people believe in it. ”

The man nodded in understanding, and he began to gather his salute.

Because it was Christmas, he had to rush to spend the night with his mistress who was keeping him outside. Since traditional festivals are exclusive to his wife, he can certainly find his mistress on Western days such as Valentine's Day and Christmas.

When he walked to the door of the office, he suddenly remembered something, and turned to face his manager. "If a guest asks for a refund or something because of the shaking just now, ignore him. Went into my restaurant and ate my stuff, even if he could spit it out as it was, he would have to pay for it. Especially those customers who have already discounted through the Internet. ”

The man's expression was resolute, but at this moment, a huge explosion came from the roof of the building.

In just 30 seconds, the twenty-four-story luxury hotel collapsed in succession, like a chain reaction in dominoes, one layer hitting another, and then the whole thing was flattened. The entire twenty-four floors of the building were now in ruins, and passers-by were silent in the ashes, and they were completely shocked by the hellish scene.
