As the sun sets, the corners of the walls are gradually illuminated. Soft sunlight shines through the gray glass windows and casts golden shadows on the rough floor tiles.

At this time, the tavern is the busiest time of the day, and it seems that time is also rushing.

The air was filled with the smell of wine and the hustle and bustle, and the boss comrade Xu Huizhen leaned on the counter by the door, squinting slightly, enjoying the rare lively atmosphere.

Since Fan Jinyou was driven away, Xu Huizhen returned to take charge of the tavern, because the tavern is different from the excellent service of state-run hotels, and Xu Huizhen's winemaking skills have been truly passed on, the tavern's reputation has become bigger and bigger, and it has gradually become one of the famous taverns in Beijing.

Seeing that the tavern is becoming more and more prosperous, every evening, there is a long queue at the door, in order to better serve the masses, specially apply to the district to help the tavern expand its scale.

After two months of renovation, the tavern has changed from a two-storey bistro to a large hotel with five fronts.

The first floor of the tavern is an individual area with more than fifty tables. On the second floor is a private room, with seven or eight rooms.

Although the tavern has expanded, the scale is similar to that of a large hotel, but the name has not changed, and it is still called a tavern.

The tavern now has more than a dozen employees, and there are professional chefs, Xu Huizhen, as the boss comrade, no longer needs to entertain guests personally, only need to do a good job of management.

Looking at the bustling guests, Xu Hui was really comfortable. My grandfather's biggest dream back then was to turn a tavern into a big hotel.

It's just that because of the chaotic situation at that time, he was attacked by the rebels many times, and even if he exhausted his mind, the tavern could only barely survive.

After the liberation, the situation stabilized and the tavern was revitalized, but it almost closed down because of the arrival of Fan Jinyou.

Fortunately, with Li Weidong, Xu Huizhen took it back to the tavern. Thinking of Li Weidong, Xu Hui felt a different kind of emotion in her heart, and her little face blushed slightly, as if she had drunk wine.

I haven't seen Li Weidong for a while, and I don't know what he's been busy with lately.... Also, Chen Xueru's wild girl has not been seen for a while, and the silk shop is closed all day, is she ready to accept her fate?

No, probably not. That wild girl has a high heart! I won't give in easily. Thinking of these things, Xu Huizhen gently flicked the abacus beads and began to calculate today's turnover.

At this moment, there was a hanging voice in her ears.

"Boss, is there any wine you brewed yourself today~" Xu Huizhen frowned slightly, raised her head slightly, and saw a young man in a gray tunics leaning on the counter.

This young man was born with fine skin and tender flesh, thick eyebrows and big eyes, red lips and white teeth, and very good facial features, but he always gave people a sense of impropriety.

Behind the young man stood a middle-aged man in a gray tunic who looked a little wooden and smiled at the young man from time to time.

The visitor was a guest, although Xu Huizhen felt that the young man was a little frivolous, but he still said with a smile: "Don't worry, the wine in the tavern now is brewed by me myself." ”

"Heh, I've heard for a long time that the proprietress of the tavern is not only beautiful, but also has a unique skill in making wine, so I have to try it today." Xu Huizhen wore a green cardigan today, the gown was a little tight, showing the graceful and charming curves of her body.

Her lips are plump and soft, always slightly raised, and compared with ordinary little girls, she has more of a mature woman's taste after being divorced.

That taste made Yang Weimin's heart tremble. Xu Huizhen's face suddenly gloomy when he heard this, raised his head and stared at Yang Weidong's eyes and said: "This comrade, please be respectful, the tavern is a public-private joint venture, if you want to play a scoundrel here, I can only send you to the police station and let the comrades from the police station help you sober up." ”

"Heh, it's really exciting...."Yang Weimin has never experienced this kind of anger at all on weekdays, and is about to roll up his sleeves and have a good fight with Xu Huizhen.

Han Laoliu next to him saw that a few waiters were looking this way, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed Yang Weimin: "Section Chief Yang, this is a public place, we have to pay attention, in case it is spread to the rolling mill, you are about to be promoted to the head of the material section..."

Yang Weimin gritted his teeth with hatred. However, in order to get that batch of goods, he still suppressed the anger in his heart.

Quarreling with a woman, how can it be important to have 500 yuan? Yang Weimin took a deep breath and said, "Heh, you misunderstood, I was praising you for making good wine just now." ”

"Is it...."Xu Huizhen smiled and said softly, "What kind of wine do those two need?" In addition to our self-brewed wine, we also have Laofen wine, Xifeng wine, Moutai wine and other famous wines. ”

"When you come here, you naturally want to try your home-brewing." Yang Weimin looked up at the stairs in the distance and said, "Do you have a private room above?" Help us open a private room. As he spoke, he looked up at the sign nailed to the wall and said, "Bring us two pots of wine, a plate of fried lamb with green onions, a plate of hot and sour shredded pork, a plate of cold beef, a plate of braised pork, and a plate of braised pork ribs." Yang Weimin's atmosphere made Xu Huizhen slightly stunned.

Although the tavern is now a big hotel, it is the first time she has seen such a customer ordering four or five meat dishes in one go.

Out of kindness, Xu Huizhen kindly reminded: "Guest, can you finish eating so many dishes?" Now the above is advocating thrift, please order according to your needs. Yang Weimin did not answer Xu Huizhen, but turned his head to look at Han Lao Liu.

There was a surging joke on the corner of his mouth: "Brother Han, do you think we can finish eating so many dishes?" ”

"This is a little too much, do you want to have a few less...."Han Lao Liu touched the money in his pocket, and was so anxious that his forehead sweated, but seeing that the smile on Yang Weimin's face gradually disappeared, he quickly straightened his chest, looked at Xu Huizhen and said, "Comrade boss, just follow this, we can finish eating." Although he was reluctant to pay for it, when he thought of this dinner, it was related to whether he could become the workshop director, even if he spent more money, he was willing.

Seeing that the guests did not listen to the persuasion, Xu Huizhen could only nod, pull the abacus pillar, and calculate the amount of money.

"It's forty-three dollars, plus three meat tickets. Among them, shredded meat and pork ribs do not need meat tickets because they use lean meat and leftovers. ”

"It's so expensive...."Han Lao Liu's eyes widened.

"This also includes the cost of the private room, and the charging standard is set by the street office, if you have any objections, you can complain to the street office."

"......" Han Lao Liu was a little helpless, and set his eyes on Yang Weimin: "Brother Yang, I think it's also very atmospheric to drink in the hall below, what do you think?" ”

"Do you really think so?" Yang Weimin sneered.

"......" Han Lao Liu laughed twice, and hurriedly shook his head: "Look at me, it's really Lao Hutu, we are going to discuss something big today." "Forty-three dollars for a meal..... Han Lao Liu's heart was dripping blood.

He gritted his teeth and took out the money from his pocket, counted it twice, and handed it to Xu Huizhen. Xu Huizhen counted the money, locked it in a drawer, and then personally led the two of them to the second floor.

Although Xu Huizhen is a woman, she has been in charge of the tavern for many years, and she has long practiced a pair of fiery eyes. She felt that this Section Chief Yang was not a good master to serve, and she was a little uneasy when the general waiter came to follow them.

went up to the second floor, Xu Huizhen opened a private room and invited the two in.

"Wait a minute, I'll bring you food and drinks." Closing the door gently, Xu Huizhen smiled bitterly and shook her head.

is also the leader of the rolling mill, why is this section chief Yang so much worse than Li Weidong!

Especially that domineering look, how annoying it is, how annoying it is. ..... Inside the private room.

"Come, Brother Yang, smoke." Han Lao Liu took out a handful of cigarettes, handed one to Yang Weimin, and then put his hands together to help him light it.

"Brother, you said today that Director Yang has decided to let me be the workshop director, is this true?" Han Lao Liu couldn't bear it anymore at this time, and asked with a smile.

Yang Weimin glanced at Han Laoliu deeply: "Brother, I am the nephew of Director Yang, one of our rolling mills is counted as one, who has a close relationship with Director Yang?" ”

"That's, that's...."Han Laoliu's eyes blinked, and he said with some hesitation: "It's just that the workshop director in our rolling mill hasn't retired recently, even if he is the oldest Lao Zhu, he will retire in half a year." "Oh, this thing doesn't seem to be easy to fool!

Yang Weimin said with a cold face: "It seems that my brother still doesn't believe me...."

"No, no." Han Lao Liu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "We are brothers, can I believe you or not, but this matter is too big, I have to be cautious." Although he didn't know why Yang Weimin told him about this, according to what he knew about Yang Weimin, he would definitely have to hemorrhage this time.

Yang Weimin's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "Brother, have you heard of Li Weidong?" ”

"Li Weidong? The workshop director of the poverty alleviation workshop, the big celebrity of our rolling mill? Of course I've heard of it, what's wrong with him? Han Lao Liu was a little surprised, and his tone increased a lot.

The door panels of the private rooms are made of thin pieces of wood, so they are not soundproofed. If the sound inside is a little louder, it can be transmitted outside.

Outside the door, Xu Huizhen, who was holding a wine plate, heard Li Weidong's name through the door panel, and was stunned for a moment, a trace of doubt appeared on his face, and the little hand that was grasping the doorknob was released.

Li Weidong? They couldn't be talking about the Weidong brothers, right? It's possible.... These two are also from the rolling mill and are colleagues of the Weidong brothers.

At this time, because it was still early, there were no other guests in the private room area on the second floor, and there was silence in the corridor. Xu Huizhen gently placed the tray on the table next to her, put her ear on the door, and listened carefully.

.... Inside the private room. When Han Lao Liu heard Yang Weimin mention Li Weidong, he felt a little incredible, who didn't know that Li Weidong was now a big celebrity in the factory, how could he be dismissed?

Yang Weimin smiled: "Brother, you have been a worker all your life, and dealing with those iron guys is a hand-to-hand capture, but as a leader, you can't." ”

"What do you mean by this?" Han Lao Liu stepped forward and humbly asked. Yang Weidong's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, making a sound that made a good sound: "Li Weidong is indeed a talent, the solar panel he engaged in made our rolling mill a famous factory in the capital, it stands to reason that such a talent should be reused, and the worst result is to be a deputy factory director, right?" Han Lao Liu nodded.

"But have you thought about it, let a person like Li Weidong who has made a big contribution be the deputy factory director, what should Director Yang do? At that time, at the factory committee, once the opinions of the two disagreed, those deputy factory directors stood on Li Weidong's side because of Li Weidong's prestige, wouldn't Director Yang be blind? ”

"Eh, you seem to have a point, when the leader is most afraid of the strength of his subordinates, it seems to be called.... The power is high. Han Lao Liu frowned and thought for a while, and finally remembered a crepe idiom.

Yang Weimin was a little relieved when he saw that Han Lao Liu was on the road, and then said: "Especially Li Weidong is still a person who does not pay attention to organizational discipline. ”

"Huh?"

"A while ago, wasn't there a female comrade in Gangcheng, and the ministry told us to entertain the rolling mill well, and Li Weidong actually brought that person to his own studio." Speaking of the studio, Yang Weimin rolled his eyes and continued: "There is also that studio, which is obviously in violation. As a workshop director, Li Weidong should have worked hard in the workshop, but he stayed in the studio all day, is this like words? ”

"Yes, yes, it's really not like that, as a workshop director, the most important responsibility is to maintain the production order of the workshop." Han Laoliu is very familiar with the position of workshop director.

"In fact, Director Yang has long been dissatisfied with Li Weidong's violation of discipline, but he didn't criticize him because Li Weidong made too much credit." Yang Weimin continued to flicker: "Recently, the poverty alleviation workshop has become regular, even if there is no Li Weidong, it will not affect the normal production of the workshop, and it will be able to deliver orders in time." After speaking, he paused, and saw Han Laoliu's thoughtful expression, so he said word by word: "In this case, Li Weidong is useless, if you don't take him down at this time, when will you wait?" ”

"Yes, yes, this is called the cunning rabbit dead lackey cooking, and the birds are hiding with a good bow!" After Han Lao Liu popped out of his mouth again, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and said with a smile: "Director Yang is taking precautions...."

"It's all the same thing anyway." Yang Weimin said with some indifference: "So this time Li Weidong's dismissal is an ironclad fact, and the next question is who should take his place." ”

"Me! Me! Han Lao Liu couldn't wait. His impatient appearance fell in Yang Weimin's eyes, and Yang Weimin shouted in his heart: Stable.

Yang Weimin nodded and said, "The two of us are brothers, so I naturally recommended you, but..."

"But what?" As soon as Han Lao Liu's words came out, he slapped himself with a slap,

"Look at you, why are you so stupid! Director Yang must be asking for money, brother, you tell my brother, how much does the factory director want? Yang Weimin waved his hand: "You guessed wrong this time, how could Director Yang be such an upright person as he would accept your money!" ”.....
