Chapter 9: The struggle for power
Xu Zhifeng, who escaped death, did not go home, he took turns off during the day, and he had to go to the store to work the night shift at night.
The palatial hall was full of people.
All kinds of delicacies are held by handsome or beautiful waiters and sent to one table after another.
Since the vast majority of arable land is used to grow Xuanling Grass, there must be a high-yield crop to meet the basic food supply of the vast majority of the population.
Meat and rice came into being.
Meat rice is not a gramineous rice, but a tree.
The branches are covered with grape-sized rice grains, which are knotted in bunches, and the yield is extremely high.
And this meat and rice are cooked four times a year, which is enough to feed the appetite of 20 billion people.
The nutritional value of meat and rice is very high, rich in various nutrients and trace elements required by the human body, and the taste is also sweet and delicious.
It can be cooked, steamed, fried, stewed, and simmered.
Although the civilians who were born and raised in Sri Lanka are tired of it, they can bear it, after all, they have no choice.
After all, the poor will always be in the majority, and ordinary people can't afford to eat all kinds of delicious food.
Scarce is expensive, there is not much land that can grow meat and rice, and it is even more difficult to grow other vegetables and fruits.
If you can eat stir-fried vegetarian dishes at once, it has to be a big family, not to mention all kinds of meat.
But where there are people, there will be a gap between the rich and the poor.
There is always someone to enjoy life.
As the most high-end hotel in Wenxing Town, backed by the mountain of Bangyue, Bangyue Tower is undoubtedly a high-end place, and the consumption is comparable to the real gold cave.
The customers of Bangyue Lou are either rich or expensive, and all of them who can work here are talents, each with their own unique skills.
Back then, in order to rub his rice, Xu Zhifeng sharpened his head and drilled in, with a three-inch tongue, he told ten cold jokes in a row, and shook twenty marketing chicken soups, giving full play to the advantages of the traverser, which moved Xiang Bangyue, the cold-blooded woman.
Unknowingly, three years have passed now, Xu Zhifeng has become more and more mixed, and has become a middle-level cadre leader second only to the general manager, a "high-powered" lobby manager.
When he doesn't have to go to the planting area, his working meals are somewhat mixed with meat or vegetarian dishes.
Looking at the millions of people in the town, he is also a big man with status and status, and he can eat food every day.
Because of the delay of the raid of the strange beast, Xu Zhifeng arrived at the store at nearly eight o'clock, and unfortunately missed the working meal of potato braised pork rice bowl, leaving only the staff food plate composed of shredded potatoes and meat and rice.
Xu Zhifeng didn't complain, he asked a colleague to bring a packing bag, put shredded potatoes in it, eat two bowls of meat and rice, and dealt with it like this.
The shredded potatoes that are going to be packed and taken home are naturally used to repay Chen Xi for saving his life.
"Manager Xu! Mr. Liu is here! Today, Mr. Liu temporarily booked a banquet for Tang Baye's family. ”
He had just put down his chopsticks when a petite and cute girl opened the office door, poked her head out and said.
It was Tang Tiantian, and she regained her vitality after only one day of the incident.
Who knows if she still has a shadow about yesterday's events, but she is just not qualified to be sad.
However, Xu Zhifeng deliberately instructed that Ding Song should not let her mix with the banquet in the future.
Xu Zhifeng hummed, "Mr. Liu likes to eat shrimp, prepare a steamed shrimp." Tang Baye is the host and guest, he has a heavy taste, so let's serve a plate of back to the pot meat. Tang Baye's youngest son loves to eat lotus root the most, and he served fried shredded lotus root with shredded pork. By the way, remember to put slightly spicy in all dishes. ”
Tang Tiantian wrote down Xu Zhifeng's words one by one, and sighed, "Manager Xu, you are really amazing, you have the tastes of the big people in the town." ”
Xu Zhifeng laughed, "Of course, otherwise why am I the manager? Speaking of which, Tang Tiantian, how do you wear this work clothes? The button on the neckline is buttoned for me, Tang Baye's wife is different from ordinary women, and she can't see a young woman wearing revealing clothes in front of her man. ”
Tang Tiantian stuck out her tongue and turned her head to run, "Got it! Aren't I thinking of being idle to solicit more business for myself?"
After taking two steps, she turned back and said, "I...... I still have to pay my debts. ”
Don't think I don't know you bought a Donghua leather satchel last month. ”
"Hehe, by the way, I'm out of business for the past two days, Manager Xu, do you want to give it for free? I'll give you free this year!"
"Get out! I'm busy!"
"Hahahaha...... Manager, you're so funny. ”
Tang Tiantian really ran away this time, leaving behind a string of silver bell-like laughter.
Xu Zhifeng glared at her angrily, there was nothing he could do with her.
Tang Tiantian, the little woman, has some stories, but Xu Zhifeng usually turns a blind eye to her actions.
As long as she doesn't toss too much, there's no need to be too up-and-coming.
If it weren't for her manager, Xu Zhifeng really wouldn't mind taking care of her business.
No one is nobler than the other, and as a commoner, it is not easy for anyone to live.
Xu Zhifeng has no senseless sense of superiority.
He remembered the courier he had sent out before he arrived at the store, and he was a little stunned.
He sent the iron plate back.
That thing has no special connotation, it is Lu Liang's suicide note, and he begged the person who picked it up to help him pass it on to his daughter, who is still in high school.
Similar last words are standard objects for many civilians in this world, but Xu Zhifeng didn't get them, because he was a little different from others after all.
He has a strong desire to survive.
Lu Liang also has a strong desire to survive, but he is ready to die at any time.
Xu Zhifeng No, he will never sit still.
Lu Liang is a chicken thief, and it is not a pity to die.
If he hadn't been too concerned about his daughter and too afraid of death, Lu Liang would have obediently let Xu Zhifeng ride, he wouldn't have died.
But if you consider that he has a disabled daughter, you may be able to figure out his motives.
In short, a drink and a peck have their own destiny.
This guy was also uneasy when he was dying, telling others in his last words that his daughter's legs were disabled, and expecting others to donate some money to his daughter.
How stupid and ridiculous, there are such rotten good people in the world?
Stretching his waist and getting to work, he first spent an hour sorting out the attendance sheets, finishing the holiday recipe for the prophet's birthday next week, and writing a summary of this week's work, in which he focused on criticizing an unlucky guy who overturned a hundred thousand yuan of dishes.
As soon as he thought of this, Xu Zhifeng had a little headache, but it was easy to say it on his side.
But Yan Yingjian, the general manager of Bangyue Building, is afraid that it will be difficult.
With Yan Yingjian's usual style of a slut, he will definitely have to fire Tang Tiantian on the spot when the time comes, or directly deduct other people's wages for two years, leaving no way to live.
Forget it, anyway, he scolded Tang Tiantian at the meeting.
I scold harder, but I can block other people's mouths, and Yan Yingjian is always bad at making more articles.
When the time comes, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and it is time to go out to greet the guests, brush their faces, and check the hygiene by the way.
Getting up, he walked to the mirror, dipped his fingers in some water from the porcelain basin next to him and wiped it on his hair, picked up a wooden comb and carefully groomed his hair neatly.
He straightened his collar again, looked good, nodded in satisfaction, and walked out the door.
Xu Zhifeng's biggest trait is super adaptability.
As long as you give him some color, he will definitely be able to open a dyeing workshop to show people.
In the past, he was not a poor person, but he did a line of love, and now standing in this position, he has to play his role well.
As the lobby manager of a high-end restaurant, the image and conversation in front of the guests are very important, representing the grade of the hotel.
He has always been meticulous and impeccable.
Most of the guests were familiar faces from the town, and most of them knew him.
Xu Zhifeng swims like a butterfly wearing flowers, greeting people warmly from time to time.
From time to time, he was called to the table for adding food or paying the bill.
He always has a smile on his face that makes people feel like a spring breeze, and can even increase the appetite of others.
He walked and stopped, and out of the corner of his eye, he could keenly pick out the defective dishes passing by, and sent them back to the kitchen to redo them, and he went to the private room where he ordered food to communicate with the guests.
He has been working here for almost three years, and in terms of the eyes of the food, he definitely has the top level.
Unconsciously busy for more than half an hour, he had just sent a drunk guest out of the gate of Bangyue Tower, and was about to leave after work, but suddenly felt a slightly chilling gaze floating in front of him.
Xu Zhifeng looked up, his brows furrowed slightly.
Why did this slut come back a day early?
A few days ago, Yan Yingjian was instructed by his boss to Bang Yue to go to the capital of Gaotianfu and bring some things to the boss.
Originally, he was supposed to come back tomorrow, but today he actually came back overnight, something is wrong.
Yan Yingjian held his chubby belly, walked forward slowly with his hands behind his back, and did not smile on his face, "Xu Zhifeng, you are long-lasting." ”
Xu Zhifeng pretended not to understand, "Manager Yan, you have something to say, I don't understand it." ”
Yan Yingjian looked left and right first, there were no guests nearby, and then he said with a gloomy face: "Tang Tiantian caused such a big incident, who gave you the qualifications to protect her?"
Xu Zhifeng couldn't erase it, so he simply had a showdown, "The boss said that when you are not there, I am fully responsible for everything in the store, including emergency matters, of course." ”
"But I didn't give you such a big permission, can she afford to pay for 100,000 dishes?"
"I said, slowly deduct it every month, and she will be able to pay it off sooner or later. ”
"You don't have the right to make her pay back like this, what if she dies tomorrow?"
The corners of Xu Zhifeng's mouth twitched.
It's stiff.
The same words were taken to his original world, which was a curse of extreme malice, but here it became a reasonable judgment.
"I'll pay for her death. ”
Xu Zhifeng will also cheat, anyway, it's just 100,000 yuan.
Yan Yingjian glared and obeyed.
He can't curse Xu Zhifeng anymore, and you will die tomorrow.
"I disagree. ”
Xu Zhifeng snorted, "Then what are you going to do?"
Yan Yingjian straightened up, "Tie her up and send her to the door of the Ding Mansion to make amends." ”
Xu Zhifeng sighed, "I confiscated the 100,000 yuan of vegetable money for Ding Song's steamed eggs with crab roe, and secondly, I compensated him for iron snake tooth powder." And what are you talking about?"
Xu Zhifeng thought secretly, no wonder this slut returned from the starry night, and really took the benefit of Ding Song.
Seeing that he didn't eat oil and salt, Yan Yingjian's heart was furious, "You really have a leg with her?"
"Hehe, what's your business. ”
"You ......"
"What are you, Manager Yan, the two of us quarreling here will not have a good impact on the hotel. Otherwise, when we get off work, let's hold a plenary meeting and let everyone vote?"
Xu Zhifeng stabbed Yan Yingjian in pain.
Obviously, Xu Zhifeng is a subordinate, but he is more popular in the store, and the boss also values him very much.
Yan Yingjian already had a ghost in his heart, knowing that public voting would definitely be useless, and he would have to make jokes.
It doesn't seem to be possible this time, but next time, there will always be a chance.
If I persist any longer, I will show Xu Zhifeng that I have taken the benefits of Ding Song.
Yan Yingjian's eyes rolled, "Forget it, I just don't want to offend a big customer like Ding Shao, if you have to protect her, you can protect her." ”
After saying that, he really walked in with his hands behind his back, as if nothing had happened.
Xu Zhifeng was quite speechless about his lack of three hundred taels of silver here, and his IQ was regarded as a grade with him.
Really when I can't see anything?
Your insidiousness is too superficial.
What else do you want to hide?
From the first second you open your mouth, you're completely exposed.
Idiot.
Sooner or later, I'll kill you.
