"Bosses, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, we will definitely pay back the money we owe you, please forgive us a few more days. ”

In the "Tongzhou Restaurant" on Yanjingkou Street in Yanjing City, there were no less than 20 people, who were not here to eat, waving bills in their hands, and the crowd was surging.

There were three men in front of them, a fat man shiny in a chef's suit, and a timid girl of sixteen or seventeen, both huddled in a corner, leaving only a young man facing the angry crowd.

The young man's name is Lin Chen, who is twenty years old, and is the general manager of this restaurant.

Although Tongzhou Restaurant is not big, Lin Chen, the general manager, is real, because Tongzhou Restaurant was not called Tongzhou Restaurant before, but Tongzhou Romantic Restaurant, and it was called Tongzhou Hotel earlier, and its original name was Tongzhou Chain Catering Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Jiang's Group.

Lin Chen is not a business genius, but he is not a loser. From Tongzhou Chain Catering Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Jiang Group, with total assets of nearly 100 million, to Tongzhou Restaurant, which has only 12 tables and two private rooms, and is in debt, it is all because of a kind and good boss, Miss Jiang Jiasan, Jiang Xiaoqi.

"Lin Chen, you see, those children in southern Xinjiang still have to climb the cliff to go to school, how dangerous it is, let's build a road for them. ”

"Lin Chen, you see, the people of Ganlong are so pitiful, because of the lack of water, they can only repair the pool to store rainwater, and the pond is full of insects and still have to drink, let's build a reservoir for them." ”

"Brother Chen, look, Xishu has an earthquake again......"

"Brother Chen, look ......"

Eight-year-old Jiang Xiaoqi looked at it, and when she was fourteen years old, she handed over her father to her huge company, and she saw it as what it is now. Although this amount of money is nothing to the Jiang family, it is also a project to examine Jiang Xiaoqi's ability to do business, which is extremely important to the Jiang family, and Jiang Xiaoqi is now well-known in the family.

Since Tongzhou Romantic Restaurant became Tongzhou Restaurant, Jiang Xiaoqi didn't care about repairing the reservoir and road, but some time ago she met a little girl who was suffering from heart disease, Lin Chen didn't listen to any persuasion, Jiang Xiaoqi had to bear the medical expenses for the little girl.

No, the cash flow of Tongzhou Restaurant has dried up, and the rice boss, the oil boss, the meat boss, and the vegetable boss have all come to the door to collect debts, what can Lin Chen do? Lin Chen is also desperate.

I can't pay the water and electricity this month, and I'm afraid that Tongzhou Restaurant will become a Tongzhou barbecue stall again. Lin Chen is the general manager of Tongzhou Grill Stall.

"General Manager Lin, don't lie to us, we all know it, your Tongzhou restaurant has been cut off from funds, I'm afraid it will be closed this month, and if we have a few more grace days, we're afraid we'll lose all our money, right?"

"That's our hard-earned money, General Manager Lin, you can't have a bad conscience. ”

"If you don't pay back the money, I'll go to court and sue you. ”

Everyone was gossiping, and a middle-aged fat man stood up, this middle-aged fat man was fat, but he was wearing a slim suit, tied tightly, and looked extremely uncoordinated, but he walked very confidently.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, your gossipy General Manager Lin can't hear clearly, I'll negotiate with him on your behalf, okay?"

"Okay, Boss Najia told him. The others agreed.

The fat man nodded to everyone, turned to Lin Chen and said: "General Manager Lin, it is natural to repay the debt, but I, Jia Buren, am not an unreasonable person, I know that you are in financial difficulties now, so that's it, you can slow down other people's money, you pay back my three thousand yuan first." ”

Everyone: "......"

"Boss Jia, are you going too far?" Lin Chen's attitude towards this Boss Jia is obviously different from that towards other bosses: "At the beginning, the third lady of my family saw that several migrant workers were owed wages and couldn't eat, so she took them to your restaurant for dinner, you are good, if you don't sympathize with these migrant workers, forget it, and immediately ask someone to change the menu, you want fifty yuan for an egg, are you an egg or a bomb?" Now you are embarrassed to ask me for 3,000 yuan?"

"Hey, General Manager Lin, what you said is not right. Jia Buren waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile: "I didn't force your third lady to eat, I let the change of dish brand first give your third miss a purpose, the real price, can't afford to eat it, will I Jia Buren force me to buy and sell? I agree that the credit has already reflected the great benevolence and righteousness, what's the matter? Now that I'm done eating, I still want to repay the account?"

"In the middle of the night, a few migrant workers just came out unsuccessfully to collect debts, tired and hungry, and there is only one restaurant nearby, where do you let the third lady take them to eat?" Lin Chen said angrily.

"Yes, in the middle of the night, I haven't calculated overtime pay with your third lady. ”

"You ......" Lin Chen's face turned blue with anger.

"General Manager Lin, dissipate your anger. Jia Buren patted Lin Chen on the shoulder, changed a "kind" tone and said to Lin Chen: "Alas, General Manager Lin, to tell you the truth, I, Jia Buren, admire the kindness of your third lady very much, and I am also learning to emulate, but don't you have to pay back if you are kind?

Jia Buren turned to ask the other debt collectors.

"It's a fart. Everyone replied in unison and shouted to Lin Chen: "General Manager Lin, this Jia Buren's money can not be repaid, and our hard-earned money cannot be less." ”

A group of people blocked the door of the restaurant for several hours, and Lin Chen almost left when his ears were almost deaf, threatening Lin Chen to sue Tongzhou Restaurant if he did not repay the money within ten days.

"Manager, what should I do? After all the creditors left, the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl came up and said to Lin Chen carefully.

The oily fat chef sighed and said, "It's really not good, I'll go to make ducks, maybe I can subsidize it for a while." ”

"Which duck?" the girl looked at the fat chef in horror.

The girl's name is Xiaomei, and the fat chef's name is Tang Niu, these two people, like Lin Chen, have both received Jiang Xiaoqi's grace, so they have never left the same boat.

Because Lin Chen met Jiang Xiaoqi earlier, several general managers couldn't stand Jiang Xiaoqi and left one after another, and he became the general manager.

"I think we'd better go to the street to see which location is good, and I'm ready to be the general manager of Tongzhou Grill Stall. ”

Lin Chen was so angry when he thought of what Jiang Xiaoqi had done, and he planned to go back to the room to be quiet for a while, but at this moment, an aunt carrying a basket came to the door.

"Excuse me, is the boss there?" the aunt probed into the store and shouted in a strong local accent.

Tang Niu and Xiaomei immediately retracted into the corner.

"Yes, but I really don't have any money, can the boss give me a few days?" Lin Chen reluctantly turned around and blurted out the lines that he had said countless times.

"The boss wants to make a mistake, I'm not here to ask for money, I have some wild vegetables here, ask the boss if he can accept it." ”

As she spoke, the aunt pulled the contents of the basket, which contained a lot of okra, thin strips, with leaves, and a lot of weeds in it, which did not look like they were planted, but like they were dug in the field.

"Auntie, to tell you the truth, my restaurant is too poor to afford food. Lin Chen glanced at the freezer, where there were only a few handfuls of vegetables in it.

"It seems that the boss is also very miserable, hey, it's a pity that I dug up the wild vegetables in the mountains, the people in the city are not in good condition, and they haven't sold it for a day, and it's bad to take it back. "Auntie almost begged for the authenticity, it was a pity that these hard-dug wild vegetables were left to spoil.

"Manager, let's buy it, you see that it's not easy for the aunt. Xiaomei said.

"You give money?" Lin Chen glanced at Xiaomei, looking at the amount of okra in the aunt's vegetable basket, it cost almost thirty yuan, but he took out his wallet, and there were only fourteen yuan and five cents in it, and they were all five cents in it.

"I'll make up some more. Tang Niu searched his whole body and took out four yuan.

Xiaomei went to the room and took out her bag and scooped out two dollars from it.

"This is what I kept to buy melon seeds at night, and I gave it to you. ”

Lin Chen took the twenty yuan and five cents that he had scraped together and handed it to his aunt: "This is all our belongings, if you don't think it's enough, then find someone else." ”

The aunt took the twenty yuan and five cents in Lin Chen's hand, looked at it, took out two yuan and returned them to Lin Chen: "Keep it for the girl to buy melon seeds, it's pitiful." ”

The aunt poured the wild vegetables on the newspaper, carried the basket, shook her head and sighed and left the restaurant.

Lin Chen looked at the back of the aunt and slammed his fist on the table: "Grass, start a company until the aunt who is digging wild vegetables sympathizes, I am also the first person, Tang Niu, make a delicious meal in the end, let's break up." ”

Tang Niu looked up to the sky and sighed: "I didn't expect that Tang Niu, the first chef of Tongzhou Hotel, would be mixed up to this point, and the sky has no eyes." Anyway, there is a duck in the back hall, since I bought these okra, today I will make a plate of my best okra cold duck shreds, for everyone to remember. ”

Xiaomei said: "Isn't your best thing Sichuan hot pot duck?"

"Nonsense, can you afford the ingredients for hot pot duck?"

Xiaomei picked and washed the okra, Tang Niu hot the pot, and Lin Chen took a kitchen knife to the back hall to kill the duck.

"Are you really going to disperse?"

Lin Chen carried a duck in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other, but the whole person was very confused, if he had a choice, he really didn't want to break up, at the age of fourteen, he followed the third lady into Tongzhou Catering, whether it was to be a handyman, or to catch ducks on the shelves as a manager, for six years, Lin Chen had a deep affection for Tongzhou.

And this is really not the result that Lin Chen wanted at the beginning, the children of the Jiang family have to learn to do business since they were young, and they will have assets to take care of, so as to judge the business ability of each child of the Jiang family, and also determine their status in the family when they become adults. If the gang really breaks up, it also proves that Jiang Xiaoqi's talent in business is zero, no, negative.

In the future, Jiang Xiaoqi will not be trusted by any family elders, and her status is definitely the lowest in the entire family.

Lin Chen was favored by eight-year-old Jiang Xiaoqi, and he treated her as a sister over the years, Lin Chen really didn't want her to end up like that.

"Ouch......"

Lin Chen, who was absent-minded, cut the throat of the duck with a knife, and also cut his own hand, and the blood dripped on the weeds that Xiaomei threw out after cleaning the okra.

A palpitating green light rose up to the sky, shaking Lin Chen couldn't open his eyes, only to see that the blood-stained weed suddenly grew wildly, and in the dizzy green light, Lin Chen's head spun around, and he fainted all of a sudden.
