After discovering that Cao Zhiqiang was determined not to accept the invitation of the University of Hong Kong and did not want to give a speech at the University of Hong Kong, Mr. Jiang no longer talked about this issue, but talked about another issue, that is, the issue of joining the Writers' Association.

According to the vice chairman of the Writers' Association, the Writers' Association would like to have a talented newcomer like Cao Zhiqiang join, and if Cao Zhiqiang agrees, then he will jointly recommend Cao Zhiqiang to join the Writers' Association with another vice chairman of the Writers' Association.

If it is jointly recommended by the two vice chairmen, coupled with Cao Zhiqiang's fame and status today, I believe that there is no need to wait for a year, and there is no need to join the Peking Writers Association first, fill out a form, go through the motions, and you can directly join the National Writers Association next month and become a member of it.

As soon as he heard this, Cao Zhiqiang raised his eyebrows directly: "Really? ”

"Of course it's true." Mr. Jiang smiled, "Special affairs, I believe that in your situation, no one will have any objections." ”

Listening to the words of this old man with the pen name Ai, Cao Zhiqiang smiled and was noncommittal.

If it was two months ago, the old man came to say this to him, Cao Zhiqiang would definitely be overjoyed and agreed without saying a word.

After all, Cao Zhiqiang at that time did not have his current career and status, and he was still bent on fame and fortune.

As a person who earned his first pot of gold by code words at the beginning, he is of course willing to join the Writers' Association, after all, this is also an honor.

But now, Cao Zhiqiang is not very interested in the identity of the Writers' Association.

It's not that Cao Zhiqiang looks down on the Writers' Association, but Cao Zhiqiang really doesn't have so much spare time.

Although the binding force of the writers' association is not very large, this is a circle, you join, you always have to deal with people in this circle, and you always have to play some activities and meetings from time to time.

For many people, this may be a dream, but for Cao Zhiqiang now, this is a chicken rib, tasteless to eat, and discarded...... It's not a pity.

In essence, Cao Zhiqiang is not the same as those people, although he is now highly accomplished in poetry, but the essence is nothing more than plagiarism, and then use plagiarism to make money.

Now that the money has arrived, he has also begun to target the music industry, so naturally he has no interest in the Writers' Association.

The most important thing is that the Writers' Association has no help to Cao Zhiqiang now, but may waste his time and energy, so it is better not to join.

In particular, thinking that poets who wrote SNPs in his previous life could join, Cao Zhiqiang felt nauseous.

The gentleman is poor, and the face is still needed, in order to avoid being used by some people to talk about things in the future, it is better to be exempted.

"How about it, Xiao Cao, you won't and won't be willing to join the Writers' Association, right?" Mr. Jiang asked with a smile.

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and shook his head: "Uncle Jiang, I have great respect for you, and I thank you for your love for me, but it's better not to do this kind of thing, it's easy to attract tongues."

Besides, I don't have any great achievements, it's just that I wrote a few crooked poems and earned a few dollars, so I'm not a big writer.

Especially, I haven't even graduated from high school, and I'm a turtle, how dare I join any writers' association and share the table with all the great sages? It's not appropriate, it's not allowed!

Even if you don't care, I'm ashamed myself, so forget it, thank you for your kindness. ”

As soon as he heard this, Mr. Jiang immediately frowned: "Xiao Cao, don't be presumptuous, in fact, with your talent and influence, you can join the Writers' Association, and if you join the Writers' Association, you will ...... in the future."

"Oops!" Cao Zhiqiang suddenly patted his head, "I'm sorry, when I meet an acquaintance, I'll go say hello first, you use it slowly, you can eat and drink whatever you want, count it mine." ”

After speaking, Cao Zhiqiang called a waiter and told him that the table was his, and then immediately ran out of the restaurant lobby.

Seeing Cao Zhiqiang running away in a hurry, Mr. Jiang was stunned, and then glanced at a middle-aged and elderly man with gray hair next to him, and shook his head with a smile.

"It seems that he is not interested in going to HKU for exchange and joining the Writers' Association, and he is a little avoidant like a snake and scorpion, hehe, it's really interesting, when did the Writers' Association become so unpopular."

"I can't say that, in my opinion, it's the other party who is self-aware and knows that he doesn't have enough education, so he doesn't want to make a fool of himself, after all, being able to write poems and give speeches are two different things."

"That's right, but Lao Feng, now that the poetry world is in decline, it's rare to have such a talented newcomer appear, and it's too unreasonable not to help.

And more importantly, Cao Zhiqiang's works have gone abroad in a short period of time and have a certain influence around the world, which is rare.

You know, I've heard that in Xiangjiang, the name of the poet Qiangzi is already known to everyone, and many people are praising his poetry.

So it's a pity that talents like this don't make it to the Writers' Association. ”

"Then you have to be happy, don't you see, people are not interested in us at all, let alone the Writers' Association.

The twisted melon is not sweet, and people are not here, so don't force it. ”

Not to mention how the two writers association leaders discussed Cao Zhiqiang there, and said that Cao Zhiqiang was really not a lie at this time, he was really welcoming a distinguished guest.

And this distinguished guest was also uninvited, and somewhat unexpected by Cao Zhiqiang.

"Sister Hao, why are you here?" Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said to a fashionably dressed woman with a headscarf and big sunglasses, "And you don't say a word when you come?" What's the point of standing outside? ”

Well, this woman with a scarf and sunglasses is none other than Hao Shuwen.

Cao Zhiqiang never expected that she would appear here.

After all, Hao Shuwen hasn't appeared for a long time, and Cao Zhiqiang hasn't mentioned it to Hao Shuwen when this restaurant opens.

As a result, Hao Shuwen suddenly appeared, still dressed like this, no wonder Cao Zhiqiang was curious.

"Yo, you're very poisonous." Hao Shuwen smiled slightly, "I've wrapped myself so tightly, can you still recognize it?" ”

Hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang grinned, not knowing how to complain.

Yes, at first glance, Hao Shuwen wrapped her headscarf and wore sunglasses, she wrapped herself very tightly, and she really didn't recognize her as Hao Shuwen for a while.

But the problem is that if Hao Shuwen doesn't wear a headscarf or sunglasses, Cao Zhiqiang really can't recognize it, after all, there are too many people now.

But she is wearing such a headscarf, sunglasses, a tweed coat and bell bottoms, and a pair of high-heeled black leather shoes.

This attracts attention, and you will look at it twice, and if you look at it a few more times, you will find it difficult to recognize Hao Shuwen.

Of course, at first, Cao Zhiqiang really didn't recognize her, he just felt that she was different.

Or because he wanted to escape from the two writers' associations, Cao Zhiqiang deliberately ran out, and then when he saw such a woman, he wanted to come over and ask for questions, but as soon as he got closer, he found that this was Hao Shuwen.

"Why don't you speak?" Hao Shuwen glanced at Cao Zhiqiang, but unfortunately because she was wearing sunglasses, the role of white eyes and coquettishness was greatly reduced.

"What does that make me say?" Cao Zhiqiang sighed.

"If you want to say that you are dressed like this, it is like standing out from the crowd, can I not care? And then you are Sister Hao, I may not be able to recognize it if you turn to ashes, but it's just this dress, if I still can't recognize it, is it still me?

There's no way, who made Sister Hao's aura too strong and her temperament too unique, no matter how tightly she covered it, it was useless, I thought it would be difficult to recognize it. ”

"You're going to be poor!" Hao Shuwen glanced at Cao Zhiqiang again.

"Yo, Sister Hao." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "It's not possible to wear sunglasses and glance at the white eyes, and besides, this is too stylish, why don't you take off your sunglasses?" Take a look inside? ”

"Don't." Hao Shuwen shook her head, "There are so many people inside, it's good for me to take a look outside, I won't go in today, let's talk about it next time." ”

Cao Zhiqiang saw the liveliness in the hotel, it was indeed overcrowded, including the private rooms, so he didn't say anything more.

You must know that the people who came to cheer inside were either the leaders of the machinery factory that Cao Zhiqiang was familiar with, or relatives and friends, and of course, He Yuzhu's relatives, friends and leaders.

So many people came to cheer, even if the area of the restaurant is large, it is useless, not to mention that this restaurant is not particularly large, it is a courtyard house renovation.

In order to open more seats, even the courtyard inside is full of tables, and there are many people who have no seats and can only go in to say hello.

As for the outsiders, it's not impossible, but there aren't many.

In other words, on the first day of opening, most of the guests inside were acquaintances.

Just these acquaintances have already filled the entire restaurant, not to mention ordinary diners.

It is precisely because they are all acquaintances who support the party, so they are all in waves, and it is rare for a single guest to be inside.

In this case, Hao Shuwen's words as a woman are indeed not very convenient.

"It's very lively." Hao Shuwen looked at the lively scene inside, "Unexpectedly, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you actually have done a big business, not only becoming the president of the publishing house, but also opening your own restaurant?" ”

"Oh, Sister Hao, you can kill me." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "I'm just a small business, what is it."

Besides, it's not like you haven't seen you for a few days, it's been almost a month, and I haven't seen your figure, I wondered before, where did you go, did you forget your brother, don't you want to come with your brother? ”

"What nonsense." Hao Shuwen patted Cao Zhiqiang's arm lightly, "How could I forget you, I, I came back after a long trip recently." ”

"I guess so." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Are you going out to play?" Where are you going, isn't it fun? Take my brother to see and see it another day? ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Hao Shuwen patted Cao Zhiqiang's shoulder again, "I, I'm ......"

"What's wrong with you?" Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile.

Hao Shuwen looked left and right, lowered her voice and said, "This is not the place to speak, I, you, can you find a quiet place with me?" I, I just wanted to talk to you. ”

Speaking of this, Hao Shuwen lowered her head, and her tone seemed to be a little lonely, which was incompatible with the lively atmosphere of the scene.

Seeing her now, Cao Zhiqiang frowned.

But soon, Cao Zhiqiang said firmly: "I know, sister, you wait for me here, I'll come to you when I make arrangements." ”

"Oh, no, no." Hao Shuwen suddenly said, "You're busy with you, I, I'm just coming over to take a look, waiting for you, when you're free, it's not too late to find me again." ”

Seeing Hao Shuwen's appearance, Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "It's okay, you also saw it, it's very hot here, you don't need me to be there."

Besides, I'm a partnership, and I have a boss.

Sister, you don't have to worry, I'll go and say a word to my partner, let him watch it for me, and come when I go.

You just wait here, and you are not allowed to go anywhere, or you will not recognize me as a brother!" ”

After speaking, Cao Zhiqiang smiled at Hao Shuwen and nodded, and then left quickly.

After that, Cao Zhiqiang found Cao Jiajia, who was helping to settle the accounts at the front desk, and said that he had something to go out, asked her to help keep an eye on it, and said to He Yuzhu in the back kitchen.

Yes, the current front desk manager of this hotel is Cao Jiajia.

In fact, at the beginning, Cao Zhiqiang didn't want Cao Jiajia to come here as a manager, or the current manager of the account, but wanted Cao Jiajia to go to the factory-run hospital of the machinery factory as a nurse.

But Cao Jiajia didn't want to be a nurse anymore, because the job was too tiring and her status was too low.

Yes, these days, nurses and doctors are completely different worlds, and nursing is still a profession that is not looked down upon.

It just so happened that Cao Jiajia heard that Cao Zhiqiang was going to open a hotel, and went to see the scale of the hotel, and found that the place here is not small, the decoration is good, and the most important thing is that after there is air conditioning, he wants to come here to do it.

Since Cao Jiajia is willing to come to the hotel as a manager, Cao Zhiqiang is naturally not unhappy.

Anyway, being a restaurant manager, that is, settling accounts, managing waiters, dealing with some front desk problems, etc., ordinary people can do it, and Cao Jiajia can certainly do it.

And do this job, the work is easy, the income is high, and the degree of freedom is also high, so it will not delay Cao Jiajia to go home and take the children.

At the same time, Cao Jiajia, as Cao Zhiqiang's sister, no one said anything when she came here to be a manager.

Although it is a bit cronyistic, it is normal for a self-employed restaurant like this.

In addition, with Cao Jiajia watching here, He Yuzhu will not be too ugly.

To tell the truth, cooperating with He Yuzhu is just a kind of reward for Cao Zhiqiang to him, and then he still wants to continue to use him, and then through him, he will cooperate with Lou Xiao'e in the future, not that Cao Zhiqiang really likes to cooperate with He Yuzhu.

You must know that people like He Yuzhu are too strong and self-righteous, and they are definitely not a good business partner.

However, He Yuzhu's luck is good, he knows the big leader, and Lou Xiao'e, these are all relationships that Cao Zhiqiang wants to take advantage of.

Now, the relationship between the big leaders has climbed, and Lou Xiao'e's line has also been built, but because of this, you can't feel that He Yuzhu is useless and kick people.

After all, whether it is a big leader or Lou Xiao'e, they all have eyes.

If Cao Zhiqiang crossed the river and demolished the bridge at this time and kicked He Yuzhu, the loss would be great.

Lou Xiao'e is second, and the key is the big leader Uncle Xu.

If Uncle Xu thinks that he is an impersonal person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, and refuses to help himself, it will be a big loss.

Therefore, although Cao Zhiqiang doesn't like He Yuzhu from the bottom of his heart, he should cooperate or cooperate, and he has to give the dry shares that should be given.

Of course, the so-called cooperation with He Yuzhu is also this food for the sky restaurant.

Cao Zhiqiang really wants to be a fast food restaurant with a franchise nature, but he never planned to cooperate with He Yuzhu, nor did he plan to let his eldest sister Cao Jiajia intervene, but planned to do it alone.

"Okay sister." Cao Zhiqiang, who explained clearly, ran to Hao Shuwen, "I have explained it clearly, you can go, by the way, how did you get here?" Coming by car? ”

"Nope." Hao Shuwen shook her head, "I came here for three rounds." ”

"Ahh Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "In that case, then let's play three rounds together, and then I'll choose the place, okay?" ”

"This ......" Hao Shuwen hesitated a little, "No, brother, in fact, you really don't have to be like this, I, I really just came over to take a look, I didn't want you to ......"

"Say no more!" Cao Zhiqiang smiled and waved his hand.

"Tell me the truth, sister, I don't like this kind of lively scene, I have long wanted to leave, just when you came, I have an excuse to slip away.

Alright, this is not a good place.

I haven't seen you for so long, let's find a clean place, and the sisters and brothers will have a good chat! ”
