Chang Jiaxing asked Li Fei: Is there a lotus pod for sale in the market now?

Li Fei replied that there was.

You buy me a few catties, peel the lotus seeds, add water and sugar, and stew them in a steamer with a cup to see how it tastes. Chang Jiaxing said.

Li Fei immediately told Huang Kanghua to implement it quickly. Chang Jiaxing advised, it must be fresh!

A trial product will be brought up according to Chang Jiaxing's requirements. Chang Jiaxing and several people from the reception office took a cup one by one. Two more.

Yin Zhongli said, Mr. Li, you can also have a cup. Seeing Li Fei's politeness, he said that he would not let you pay, and he would bring the bill to me to sign later. He said to Huang Kanghua, who was standing next to him, that the manager of the catering department would also have one. You've worked hard too.

The little Jiujiu in Li Fei's heart was broken by Yin Zhongzhong's words, and he smiled awkwardly on the side. I have to admire the strength of India neutrality. Seeing that Huang Kanghua was still waiting for him to make a statement, he said that we would like to thank Director Yin.

Huang Kanghua took a cup of lotus seed soup and said to Hua Min next to him, Master Hua, I will share it with you.

Hua Min said, I have tasted it just now.

Chang Jiaxing opened the lid of the cup, and a fragrance of lotus seeds came with the heat. After tasting it, it felt sweet and delicious. So he laughed and shouted: Okay, good! According to this standard, there is one person at the conference table.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, accompanied by Xie Ze, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and Qin Mian, Mayor of the city, a group of guests from the province and neighboring counties and cities arrived at the Perfume Star River Hotel. The meeting room is temporarily set up in the western restaurant on the second floor. The secretary general of the provincial government whispered to Secretary Xie that he had walked so many counties and cities, and that your conference room was the most foreign.

Xie Ze also looked at it: although the conference room is not large, the ceiling, carpet, wall decorations, wall lamps and chandeliers are just right. a white and flat tablecloth; Western dining chair with white lacquered wood armrests, dark green gold velvet soft surface; There are flowers, clips, cards, teacups, and microphones on the table.

After the guests were seated, Xie Ze, secretary of the municipal party committee, and several secretaries of neighboring counties and cities spoke, followed by speeches by the provincial governor. Chang Jiaxing personally conducted on the sidelines. Several waiters carried trays and brought in more than a dozen cups of stewed fresh lotus seed soup.

Someone opened it and looked at it, and then closed the lid again. Chang Jiaxing was secretly anxious in his heart: everything that is to be eaten while it is hot is a roll with three fresh, and it is not the same thing when it is cool.

At this time, I saw the governor open the lid of the cup, look at it, scoop up another spoon and taste it, and then ate it one bite after another. The other participants had only dared to look at it, not eat it. At this time, I saw that the governor had eaten, so I ate together.

After the meeting, the director of the general office of the provincial government praised the secretary for his work. A cup of delicious lotus seed soup is served on an empty stomach in the afternoon.

Xie Ze was happy and praised Chang Jiaxing for doing things. Chang Jiaxing was happy and praised Li Fei well. Li Fei patted the leader's sycophants and said that this is all the credit of the permanent secretary. It is also called Qinglian Soup. It means that the leader is honest and honest.

Since then, Qinglian soup has become the most popular soup in Perfume Star Hotel.

After the morning tea was launched in the restaurant on the third floor of the Perfume Star River Hotel, there were still some customers in the first few days of opening. Since then, the number of guests has decreased day by day.

Li Fei arranged a special meeting to discuss and study the morning tea business. Seeing Yang Yue and He Fei laughing in a low voice, they tapped their fingers twice on the table to remind them to pay attention.

Wang Han pretended to be serious and criticized and said, "Let you discuss serious matters, you guys laugh and laugh!"

He Fei hated Wang Han and said, do you know that others are not talking about business?

Yang Yue said, it was Miss He who said - He Fei pushed Yang Yue, why did I say it, obviously you are talking - okay, okay, I am saying. Said that there was a grandmother who brought her grandson to our third floor for morning tea, and only after eating half full, it cost more than 20 yuan to settle the bill. The grandmother didn't have enough money, so she took her grandson back to the hotel to get the money. After I went back, I met people and said that the Perfume Galaxy Hotel is really expensive, and a bun sells for a few pieces!

After Yang Yue finished speaking, he laughed twice. So everyone laughed along. Huang Kanghua wanted to laugh easily, but he really couldn't laugh, so he simply didn't pretend. Hua Min was disgusted by this kind of joke and expressed his attitude with silence. Only He Wenrui stayed out of the matter, still drawing something in his notebook.

Jiang Kehang asked Hua Min beside him, is there really such a thing?

Hua Min said angrily, they are all ruined (untrue bad words) people!

How many pieces does a bun sell?

Knowing that Hua Min was unhappy, Jiang Kehang still stared at Hua Min's eyes and asked.

Isn't it sold for a few pieces you don't know? Hua Min said irritably.

I haven't had morning tea, how would I know? Jiang Kehang said with a smile.

Hua Min didn't smile at him: You haven't had morning tea? The day before the opening, the general manager, please everyone, you didn't come?

I mean, I didn't pay for it. Jiang Kehang defended.

Hua Min said that no matter how many dollars it sells, the price is not set by our kitchen. We only take care of costing. What price to set is the business of the Finance Department.

The words can't be said like that. Ma Ke immediately said that the prices were all quoted by your catering department.

Li Fei turned to He Wenrui next to him, and tapped his fingers twice on the table in front of him, asking him to express his opinion.

He Wenrui said in a calm and almost serious tone, although it was a joke, it reflected at least two problems: one is expensive; The second is that I am not used to eating.

We refer to the price in Guangzhou, Ma Ke argued, the small point is two yuan, the middle point is three or four yuan, the large point is five or six yuan, and the apex is only seven or eight yuan. It shouldn't be expensive.

He said it carefully. Although the level is all department managers, in the face of He Wenrui, he always feels that he is one level lower than him.

You know you can get through the morning for a dollar or two on the street! He Wenrui said in a stiff tone.

No matter how you say it, you can't compare us to the early ones on the side of the road. Huang Kanghua argues that the grades are different, and the consumer groups are also different.

Just like the general manager said, Yang Yuewang Li Fei smiled and said that when guests come to Perfume Galaxy Hotel to dine, they don't just eat food; Still eating the environment and eating the service.

Obviously, most people disagree with He Wenrui. For the department manager, He Wenrui became more and more disgusted in his heart. Li Fei treats them as treasures; They are also the first to look forward to Li Fei. Out of sight, out of mind. Leave – must leave as soon as possible!

At the end of the discussion, Li Fei made a summary. Song Bo wrote down the key points in the minutes of the meeting: first, the rumors may not be true, but the price and taste issues reflected are worth paying attention to; Second, according to our grade, it is right to stick to our own market positioning; 3. Maintain the form of Cantonese-style morning tea, retain the popular Cantonese-style morning tea varieties, and launch breakfast varieties with local characteristics of Xiangzhou; Fourth, the introduction of a six-yuan standard morning tea package. to cater for groups with limited spending power; Fifth, improve advertising methods to attract household consumption.

The last one was put forward by Huang Kanghua. He believes that advertising should be figurative and targeted; If morning tea wants to become a way of life for Xiangzhou people like Guangdong, it must let the family come in; The engine of family consumption is the child, and it is necessary to make up a morning tea nursery rhyme that is easy to sing and promote it in the form of TV commercials.

Li Fei thought this suggestion was good, and said to He Wenrui, your sales department writes a children's rhyme advertising slogan.

He Wenrui is full of thoughts of resignation at the moment, where is he still in the mood to write any advertising words.

At this time, Huang Kanghua's eyes were laughing—sparkling laughter. He said, "How about I write it?"

During the time since the hotel opened, He Wenrui has been hesitating between going and not leaving. After all, Perfume Galaxy is a place that he has poured his heart and soul into and once prided himself on, so he can't help but be entangled. It wasn't until the appearance of a Beijinger named Zhang Shuzhe from Xiangzhou that he made up his mind to leave.

He Wenrui came to Jiang Kehang in the engineering department and told him that he was ready to resign. Jiang Kehang saw his lonely appearance, and couldn't help but feel related:

Can't bear it?

At first, I wanted to put up with it, but I couldn't. It's been a very unhappy day.

Where are you going?

I'm going to go to Beijing first. My friend has an entertainment project over there that he wants me to do along.

Does your dad know about this?

He Wenrui shook his head and said that he hadn't told him yet.

Jiang Kehang said, I was introduced by you, if you leave, I don't think I will be able to stay.

He Wenrui said, I hurt you. Can I go back to the school?

Jiang Kehang said that it is no problem to go back to school. But good horses don't eat back grass. Now that I'm out, I don't want to go back.

He Wenrui said, I suggest you take a look first. See how he treats you in the future. If it's good, stay, if it's bad, leave. Besides, you are not in the same situation as mine, and you do not pose any threat to him.

That's all there is to it at the moment. Jiang Kehang said with a wry smile. He understood who He Wenrui was referring to.

Before meeting Jiang Kehang, He Wenrui also went to see Lu Shiping. Say goodbye to him. He came in through Lu Shiping's relationship, and it was reasonable that he was going out to say hello.

Hearing that He Wenrui was preparing to resign, Lu Shiping felt very heavy. The scene when his comrade-in-arms He Tonggao came here is still vivid. He didn't expect that even a talent like He Wenrui would not be able to stay. He said that Li Fei is good at everything, but he is too domineering!

Hearing Lu Shiping comment on Li Fei like this, He Wenrui was a little surprised. In the past, he always thought that Lu Shiping unconditionally supported Li Fei.

Speaking of sending the vice president of Perfume Star River Hotel, Lu Shiping was still angry. He hoped that He Wenrui would speak fairly and give him moral support. Although this support has no practical effect.

He didn't know that He Wenrui was also against the company's sending vice president to the Perfume Galaxy Hotel. Like Li Fei, he hated the old state-run system. Even now, except for feeling that Li Fei is sorry for him He Wenrui, there is nothing else that feels that he has done something wrong.

A very important reason is that many of Li Fei's practices also have his He Wenrui's opinions in them.

After coming out of Lu Shiping, He Wenrui also went to the mall. He Wenrui knew the relationship between Guo Xiaohai and Li Fei, and only said that he was ready to resign, and did not say anything wrong. Guo Xiaohai said that he called several people who had a good relationship with He Wenrui in the mall to have a meal together and see him off. He Wenrui did not agree. Say I'm not in the mood.

He Wenrui is very strong by nature and cannot accept sympathy from anyone and for any reason.

Finally, he submitted a letter of resignation to Li Fei. As he wrote this letter, he almost burst into tears.

Li Fei asked where he was going, and he only said two words: Beijing. Originally, I didn't even want to say these two words. He can't be made to think that he has nowhere to go without Perfume Galaxy.

There is no politeness, no retention. All politeness and retention are hypocritical. You can't give what he needs; He can't do what you ask for. The relationship between the two has come to this point, and there is only one way out of breaking up.

When they first joined the company, the two of them were attracted to each other like magnets. I want to laugh when I meet, no matter how tired and difficult the work is, the mood is happy. A person who has never liked to be restrained has become obedient and submissive. A person with an extremely conservative family concept can actually understand another person's extreme amorousness.

The relationship between the two has come to this day and has reached a dead end. Is it because of a struggle for power?

In the eyes of many, there is no doubt that it is. One wants to be the vice president, and the other does not give, which is a typical power struggle.

But in the minds of the only insiders, this is not the case. But this kind of inside story can't be told to anyone. Only when everything is history can it be declassified and made public.

Li Fei wanted to give He Wenrui a trip and let all the department managers participate. He Wenrui just shook his head lightly.

Coming out of Li Fei's office, He Wenrui endured his sadness and walked around the various departments of the hotel to say goodbye to his colleagues. Although he is very whimsical in his heart, he still pretends to be indifferent on the surface. It was he who proposed his resignation. It was he who fired Li Fei's squid.

Regarding the contradiction between He Wenrui and Li Fei, the managers have long discussed it in private. Most people are upset with He Wenrui, thinking that Boss Li is unfair to him. It's just that because of Li Fei's majesty, he didn't dare to show it.

It was Xie Han who took over the sales department. Xie Han joined the Perfume Galaxy Hotel a month before He Wenrui's resignation.

Xie Han is a foreigner, his girlfriend is from Xiangzhou, and the two are college classmates. After graduation, he was assigned to a foreign state-owned enterprise, and his girlfriend was assigned back to Xiangzhou. After marriage, the two places are separated, which is very inconvenient. Looking for it in Xiangzhou, I found the Perfume Star River Hotel.

When he went to the personnel department first, Song Bo took a look: he graduated from a bachelor's degree. also a pair of glasses; It's also Svenwen. knew that he met Li Fei's selection criteria, so he recommended him to Li Fei.

Li Fei has always been partial to readers, chatted with Xie Han for a while, and saw that he talked extraordinary, so he naturally liked it in his heart.

Song Bo said that according to his ability and level, he should be at the manager level, but there are currently no vacancies.

Li Fei knew that He Wenrui's mood was unstable, and he might suddenly pick on him one day. With Xie Han joining, it is just a talent reserve. But it's inconvenient to find out this kind of thing, just to say, you discuss with Xie Han and arrange for him to be the lobby manager first, and then adjust if he does well.

Song Bo was worried that Xie Han would not give in, but when he talked about it, Xie Han actually agreed. Within a week, the procedures for leave without pay were completed in the original unit. Song Bo personally gave Xie Han induction training, and originally planned to let him intern with the class for a few days, but who knew that he had just taken him around, and Xie Han asked to fly solo. In order to integrate into the new work environment as soon as possible, Xie Han has been reading several books on hotel management day and night.

As mentioned earlier, the building of Perfume Star River Hotel is divided into east and west sides. The west is high and the east is low, and the front and back are staggered. On the eleventh floor to the west is the discotheque. From the discotheque, you can go up to the roof of the 10th floor. The roof is covered with artificial turf; The lawn is furnished with greenery; white plastic tables and chairs are furnished among the greenery; Courtyard lights are lit between the perimeter railings; It is arranged as an extension of the discotheque. Externally, it is called the Hanging Garden.

That night, a group of young people got tired of dancing in the disco and came out to rest in the hanging garden. I asked for a few beers and sat around chatting. When one of them was proud, he stretched his waist and kicked his legs back, and suddenly there was a "click", and the chair broke one of its hind legs. The man also fell to the ground.

The guest has risen from the ground. While slapping his ass, he blamed the chair for not being strong. The waiter reported to the supervisor, and the supervisor said that he was sorry and that according to the hotel's regulations, the damaged items should be compensated according to the price. The price of the chair is a hundred dollars.

When the guest heard this, he was furious: I didn't ask you to compensate people, you still asked me to compensate for chairs! As he spoke, the monkey bent his back in pain, and hummed. The guest companion shouted angrily:

Call your manager!

Not long after the discotheque opened, it was the first time to encounter this kind of dispute, and the waiter and supervisor were frightened. However, Liu Wenjun, the manager of the entertainment department, took marriage leave again. In a panic, I hurriedly called the lobby to find the manager on duty.

It was Xie Han's third day at work.
