Chapter 120: The Du Family Turmoil
2009 has passed, and at the end of each year after work, Chen Erdong will make a review.
This year is undoubtedly the most memorable year since he started his business, he was deceived and went bankrupt, although he had a new career that reborn, but the rift of Lin Daqi and Tang Ye's sentence still had no result, and Chen Erdong could only welcome the arrival of the New Year with regret.
Zeng Liren received two more regiments in Singapore, and even though he had the successful experience of the first regiment, he still took into account the run-in and the problem of local manpower in Jincheng, and was unwilling to take risks, so he adjusted the departure time of the two regiments to a week apart.
If these two groups can be successfully completed, Zeng Liren will dare to recruit Spring Festival tourists with great fanfare, and recommend Jincheng as a key route for the Spring Festival, because relying on shopping to generate income, Jincheng has become his most profitable area in China.
The relationship between Chen Erdong and Du Yu is progressing very rapidly, and achieving good results in the first time is definitely the best catalyst for new partners, and Du Yu's sense of proportion in dealing with people is also very appetizing to Chen Erdong, and the two can now be called brothers.
This night, Chen Erdong and Han Qingyu went to Griffin to play with Du Yu, this is Han Qingyu's first time going to Griffin, which can also be regarded as an investigation and study among peers.
Du Yu was not in a high mood and seemed to have something on his mind, so he told Chen Erdong that William had changed the chef and the supplier of wine ingredients.
"Didn't he discuss the change of chef with you?" Chen Erdong asked.
"He told me, but I was busy with the travel agency, and I said that I would wait until I came back after I was done, but after I came back, the chef was already gone, and he said that the chef's mother was seriously ill and returned to Guangdong."
"I think you're thinking too much, right? In case there are three long and two short, is it possible to wait for you to come back before leaving? Chen Erdong felt that he was too worried.
"The supplier of drinks has also changed, but I think it's a little strange."
"He's your brother-in-law, even if he has two hearts, can your sister care?"
"Have you seen my sister in all this time?" Du Yu asked rhetorically.
Chen Erdong thought about it, although he had long heard Du Yu say that Griffin was opened by him and his sister, but he had come so many times and had never seen his sister, which was indeed strange.
Du Yu's father is the elder brother of his sister Du Jing's father, but Du Jing's father died early, and Du Jing has become the only link between the family and the Du family.
Du Jing's mother and the Du family have had little contact, and when her husband was still alive, it would appear once a year during the Chinese New Year, and no one would see her at other times, but Du Jing and Du Yu grew up together since childhood, and their relationship was quite deep, until Du Yu went to the United States, and their contacts decreased.
After Du Yu returned to China, he had some money in his hand, so Du Jing suggested that he open a restaurant. William is an exchange student from Hong Kong to the mainland, and Du Jing is a college classmate. In those years, Hong Kong was booming, and there was even a boom of immigration to Hong Kong in China, Du Jing took a fancy to this and fell in love with William until she got married.
William's real name is Liu Jinchang, and when Du Jing met him, she didn't imagine that he was the son of a wealthy man in Repulse Bay, thinking that he was crammed into a small residential building like ordinary Hong Kong people living in Kowloon, Hong Kong Island on TV. As a result, William's home is far away in the countryside of the New Territories, which is a great disappointment for Du Jing.
Although a person can't be judged by his background, Du Jing feels that she finally married a Hong Kong person, and it should always be in the city.
These things were the first time Chen Erdong heard Du Yu talk about them, and after listening to them, he didn't feel that something was wrong, but Han Qingyu found the clue, so he asked:
"Brother Du, did you have a problem with your previous drink supply?"
"No, and there are a few wines that sell well, but now they have changed suppliers and the wine list is gone."
Saying that, Du Yu picked up the new wine list and showed it to the two of them, Chen Erdong was very familiar with this wine list, and it was still printed in the art department he recommended.
"Normally, suppliers will only cooperate more and more closely, including account periods or something, and will also provide you with a lot of convenience, there is no reason to say that you can change, and you have to rush to change during your absence."
"Xiaodong, your family Qingyu is an expert, and at first glance he is a catering, and you don't know if you haven't done catering."
"Haha, that's for sure, if you want to ask me about the hotel discount now, I'll be able to clear it."
"And what did William say?" Han Qingyu is most concerned about this.
He said that the previous supplier had too few types of wines, and that none of the new wines had been released recently, and that the price was not compromised.
"Did you check with the supplier?"
"I asked, and he said that it was not that there was no new wine, but that his supply had not yet arrived, and the price had always been the same as before, and he had never said that he would be adjusted, but William still changed him."
In fact, Du Yu is not meticulous in doing Griffin. Because he was not familiar with the place he was familiar with when he returned to China not long ago, and because of his trust in Du Jing, he hardly managed the preparation of the restaurant except for participating in the investment and introducing the concept of American bars.
From site selection to decoration, from the purchase of kitchen utensils to tables, chairs and benches, all of them are Du Jing and his wife in Zhang Luo, so he can't answer many of Han Qingyu's questions.
Chen Erdong asked why William didn't come, and it happened that Qingyu was there, so he could knock on these questions in a casual way. Du Yu said that Du Jing was pregnant, and William sometimes couldn't come, so he entrusted it to the store manager to manage it when he was away.
"Brother Du, how profitable is Griffin?" Han Qingyu asked again.
"I'm ashamed, I really don't know, this has been open for more than a year, and I haven't shared the money, because I can't use it for the time being, anyway, my sister is in charge."
"Then you'd better take the time to look at the restaurant's ledger, you still have to know in your heart, I always feel that something is wrong, if these things are discussed with you, then it's fine, but they all happen in your absence." Whenever Han Qingyu wants to understand something, she always looks like Detective Conan.
"Okay, I should still earn some money, and then Xiaodong told me to set a low consumption, and those foreigners can't take a bottle of wine to occupy a seat all night."
Du Yu concealed one thing, he didn't deliberately hide it, but it was inconvenient to disclose it when it came to family affairs. In the past few days, Du Jing's mother and several brothers and sisters of the Du family are arguing, and she wants to move her husband's tombstone away from the old man of the Du family.
The old man of the Du family is an influential red cadre, and he only left a will before his death, and the children of the Du family must be buried together after a hundred years, so Du Jing's father, as the only child of the second generation, naturally lives next to the old man.
But I don't know why this daughter-in-law of the Du family suddenly made such a request, seeing that the Spring Festival was coming soon, and the Du family resolutely did not allow it to split at this time.
Du Yu thought about whether William's actions were related to this matter, but it was only a change of chef and supplier, and it did not have much impact on the restaurant. The relationship between him and Du Jing is similar to that of Chen Erdong and Lu Yun, even if they are not as close as them, but they are also an unbreakable family relationship.
Before leaving, Han Qingyu seriously told Du Yu to read the accounts of the restaurant, because there are many things that can be seen in the accounts, and if he can't understand it, Han Qing can help him.
Du Yu thanked him, hoping that all this was just his speculation, no matter what the relationship between Du Jing's mother and the Du family would be in the future, he would still regard Du Jing as his dearest sister.
