In the next two days, in addition to going to school, Xiaoyu spent the rest of his time on the opening of the new store.

Opening a new store this time was a challenge for him, the new store was more than five times larger than the old one, he invested all the money in the store, and hired more people, if the new store business could not be done, then he would have to lose all his money.

The knife is really the head snake on Tianlin Road, and the people of the three religions and the ninth rank know some of them, and soon found Shen Datou, who specializes in decoration business, in the vegetable market.

Shen Datou has a big head that is different from ordinary people, very talkative, he is from Hebei, and there are seven or eight Hebei villagers under his command, all of whom are engaged in decoration, and usually take on some loose work, and form a group to go together when encountering a big project.

Compared with the regular decoration company, the price they open is naturally much cheaper, according to the knife, Shen Datou's work is not bad, and the person is also honest, and the reputation in the vegetable market is very good.

Xiao Yu thought about it, he didn't change much about the layout of the hot pot city, and the most important project was to add a door in the middle of the second floor as a partition between the staff dormitory and the outer room.

Other changes, such as the fast take-out passage in the lobby and the partition of the dine-in area, are relatively simple and do not need to hurt the muscles and bones, and these casual decoration teams can cope with it, so the suggestion of the knife was adopted.

After discussing with Shen Datou with his own design drawings, Xiao Yu felt that he had a clear mind and rich experience, and he also gave himself a lot of good suggestions, which made Xiao Yu very satisfied.

In the end, the two sides negotiated the price, contracted labor and materials of 30,000 yuan, Xiaoyu paid a deposit of 10,000 yuan, paid another 10,000 yuan in the middle of the project, and paid the remaining 10,000 yuan after acceptance.

The price is already good, Xiao Yu also secretly asked the regular decoration company, and the opening of the person is more than 50,000 yuan, Xiao Yu had to retreat.

Now I don't have much money left in my hand, every penny has to be broken in half and spent, the deposit of 10,000 yuan is still taken from Lao Zhangtou's passbook, I feel that I really can't live with his old man, Xiaoyu secretly swore in his heart that after making money, he must double the money and make up for it.

Shen Datou took Xiaoyu's 10,000 yuan deposit, and immediately called his subordinates to work, it is not easy for casual workers like them to find such a big business, naturally they are full of energy, and they want to complete the project as soon as possible and make money.

Xiaoyu has also made great progress in hiring people.

After Lao Zhangtou and Li Haozi said hello, this kid was so happy, where didn't he eat? There are often people from the 'Black Dragon Society' in the bazaar who come to collect protection money, and he can't stay for a long time.

There are four people under Li Haozi's hands, and they wanted to come to Xiaoyu's shop to work that day, but they were driven back by Xiaoyu, and now the kitchen in the store is crowded enough, how can there be a place for them to plug in? Let them wait until the beginning of next month and report directly to the new store.

Zhou Xin also called the sisters in Hunan, and soon contacted five sisters who were willing to come to Shanghai to work, and they could come to Shanghai at the end of the month after they took care of their family affairs.

According to Zhou Xin, her five sisters look good and work hard, the key is that they are reliable, responsible, and trustworthy.

Xiaoyu knew that it was not easy for rural people to come out to work, so he took out 2,000 yuan and asked Zhou Xin to remit it over and let them buy train tickets.

It's been two busy days.

Saturday afternoon.

Xiao Yu was helping in the kitchen, and suddenly felt a vibration of the mobile phone in his trouser pocket, so he quickly explained to the knife and ran outside to pick up the mobile phone.

"Hey, is it Shen Datou?"

In the past two days, Shen Datou has begun to renovate the new store, and Xiaoyu has to receive a lot of calls from him every day, so Xiaoyu intuitively thinks that this call must be from Shen Datou.

"Senior, you're so bad, people's heads aren't that big, right?" Shen Mengqi's voice came from the other end of the phone, and it sounded obviously unhappy.

Xiao Yu sweated profusely, so coincidentally, both of them were surnamed Shen.

secretly blamed himself for talking nonsense without looking at the phone number, but Shen Mengqi's phone number was not in his phone book, and even if he saw it, he couldn't know who the other party was.

"This, Shen Mengqi, I didn't talk to you just now."

"You're not talking to me, who are you talking to? Be all abroad! ”

Xiao Yu felt that his head was also getting bigger, and he knew that there was nothing to discuss with this kind of little girl, so he hurriedly asked, "Miss Shen, is there anything to find me?" ”

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone, and after a while, Shen Mengqi's extremely resentful voice came, "...... Senior......"

Xiao Yu's legs were weak, and he almost sat on the ground, complaining secretly in his heart, wouldn't this little girl talk well? If you listen to this kind of voice too much, you will get hypochondriasis.

Fortunately, Shen Mengqi continued, "Today is someone's birthday, you won't forget it, right?" ”

"Birthday?" Xiao Yu suddenly remembered that today was Shen Mengqi's birthday.

It's too bad now, I haven't prepared a birthday gift for Shen Mengqi yet.

Originally, when I received that card, I thought about it, but there have been too many things recently, and I have forgotten to prepare a birthday gift until now.

However, this matter should be put aside for a while, and Shen Mengqi was sent away first, and Xiao Yu immediately replied, "How could I forget?" I was about to change my clothes and go out when you called. ”

Shen Mengqi on the other end of the phone smiled, she just didn't feel at ease, so she called to remind Xiao Yu, fortunately he didn't forget, and said to Xiao Yu at the moment, "Uncle Zhao just called and said that he has arrived, you can go, let's see you later!" ”

hung up Shen Mengqi's phone, Xiaoyu was anxious.

Looking at the time, it's already 3:50, and the driver is already waiting for him there, and it's definitely too late to buy a birthday gift now.

Xiao Yu hurriedly went upstairs, changed into clean clothes, and walked out of the store.

Turning a street, I came to the place where I got off the car last time, and sure enough, the Audi A8 was safely parked there.

Uncle Zhao, the driver of the Shen family who had a relationship last time, was smoking there by leaning on the car.

Xiao Yu stepped forward and greeted him politely, "Uncle Zhao, I'm sorry to keep you waiting!" ”

At this time, Uncle Zhao also saw Xiao Yu, his eyes lit up, he immediately extinguished the cigarette butt, and smiled at Xiao Yu slightly, "It's nothing, I just came, Xiao Yu, get in the car!" ”

After the two got into the car, Xiao Yu had nothing to do and chatted with Uncle Zhao.

"Uncle Zhao, you also know kung fu, right?" Xiao Yu asked tentatively.

Uncle Zhao drove the car skillfully, and said with a smile, "I have been a special soldier for a few years, and kung fu is taught by our captain." ”

Xiao Yu had long guessed in his heart that the other party should be a soldier, but he didn't expect that he was still a special soldier, it seems that his captain's kung fu must be more powerful, but this Uncle Zhao is not young, right? Is there nothing to accomplish after being discharged from the army? How can it be reduced to the point of driving for people?

Uncle Zhao seemed to see the question in Xiao Yu's heart, and said to Xiao Yu, "After retiring from the army, several people in our team don't want to separate, the captain wants to have a career, so we will all help him together, and wait for his career to stabilize, anyway, a few of us have nothing to do, so we all stayed at his house, I have the best driving skills, so I picked the driver's job, this job, hehe, it's ten years!" ”

"Ten years?" Xiao Yu gasped, and was a little puzzled in his heart, could it be that the charm of this captain is so great? Can you make your subordinates willingly die for him?

"Hehe, Xiaoyu, several of us are friends of life and death, and the captain has saved my life, not to mention being a driver for ten years, I am also willing to be a driver for a lifetime, the captain is very good to us, he gave us two percent of each share, and the dividends alone are enough for me to eat for a lifetime."

"So powerful?" Xiao Yu smacked his tongue secretly, and suddenly remembered that this captain should be Shen Mengqi's father, could it be that his business is so big?

"Xiaoyu, listen to Qiqi, your kung fu is very good? It is said that he is still the head of what sect? Uncle Zhao suddenly asked with a strange face.

Xiao Yu's face turned red, the last time he was in the car, he was forced by Shen Mengqi and Zhou Zhihao to have no choice, talking nonsense, saying that he was the head of a secret sect in the Song Dynasty, besieged by the enemy and died, and then reincarnated and reincarnated.

Thinking about it now, Uncle Zhao must have heard those words at that time, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and quickly explained, "Uncle Zhao, last time I was forced by them to have no choice, I just said nonsense, don't laugh, my kung fu lesson is okay for little rascals, where to talk about it is very good, don't laugh at me." ”

Uncle Zhao laughed heartily, he felt that Xiao Yu, a child, was modest, honest, and very angry with him.

The two chatted without a word, and the relationship became much more familiar.

The car drove for 40 minutes, crossed downtown Shanghai, and stopped at the entrance of a large hotel in Pudong.

Xiao Yu got out of the car first and waited for Uncle Zhao at the door to park.

After looking around, I couldn't help but be secretly surprised, the scale of this hotel is too big, right?

There are nearly 100 cars parked there in the parking lot at the entrance of the hotel alone, the hotel is divided into five floors, and the top floor adopts the design of Chinese palace-like architecture, which looks antique and very luxurious.

A large neon sign was placed in the most conspicuous position, with three big characters written on it - Jiang Nanchun.

Xiao Yu's heart sank, in Shanghai, the fame of 'Jiangnan Chun' is well known, and there are chain stores in almost every district, which is a giant in the catering industry.

It is said that the dishes here are all cooked by famous teachers, and they are ridiculously expensive, even a plate of fried vegetables costs 80 yuan, this is a place for the rich to eat, where can ordinary people afford to consume?

Shen Mengqi's family is really rich, he actually held a birthday party here, and it costs at least four or five thousand to hold a table here, right?

"Xiaoyu, Qiqi called again just now, this kid is urgent, let's go in quickly!" Uncle Zhao held his mobile phone in his hand and hurriedly walked over from the parking lot.
