The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 220 A Qiao Restaurant Group
Three days later, on September 22, [-], Lao Tan led Zhou Xiaomei, Gu Yi, Zhang Yu, and Wang Shulan on a plane to the provincial capital.

Three hours later, a group of five people came to Aqiao's new office building and sat in the brand new reception room.

They were greeted by Yanhua, Zhang Li, Zhongqing, Zhang Xiangdong, Li Shuang, Wang Hong, financial director sister Xu, and three partners from the provincial capital.

Huang Lijuan, the owner of the Jining store, had reached an agreement with Wang Shulan, so she didn't come.

After some courtesies, everyone drank tea, and Zhang Xiangdong gave a short and wonderful introduction to the company's current situation.In fact, it was mainly introduced to Gu Yi, Wang Shulan and the three partners, and the others were from their own family.

After the introduction, the young man then led everyone to visit the training center and R&D base, saw the working conditions in the office area, and then led them to visit the conference room and the corporate culture center.

Finally back to the reception room.

Although the visit time is short, the impression it gives is deep.Anyone can feel that this is a thriving company with development potential and bright prospects.

Holding a stack of printed and bound documents, Zhang Xiangdong said with a smile: "This is the document for our establishment of the group, which contains the group's charter and system, as well as a strategic overview. Send it to everyone, and everyone has a copy. Please take a closer look. , If there is something inappropriate, directly bring it up, and we will discuss and resolve it at the meeting tomorrow."

After distributing the document, Yanhua said when everyone was about to open it, "You can take the document back and read it. I guess everyone is hungry, so let's eat first."

The new office building is close to the old store, and the reception dinner is held in the old store.

The whole dinner was held in a harmonious atmosphere. Although it was not as large-scale as a formal investment promotion meeting, fortunately, in reality, it was called honesty in the words of ordinary people.

Gu Yi's impression of Aqiao has always remained at the time when the Taishan store opened. At that time, there were four stores, which were the same as the current situation in Hohhot.Before I came here, I also thought about the development of Aqiao, but I didn't expect it to develop so well. Like a regular enterprise, it has its own office building, its own training base, its own R&D center, and its own corporate culture.

Although he and Lao Tan are buddies, Lao Tan rarely mentions these things.

The current Aqiao shocked him and admired him.

To be honest, he felt that his decision to be the general agent in Suzhou was wise and powerful.

He thought so, and so did President Wang Shulan.

This once brilliant woman thought that she didn't make such a career when she was the most powerful. She was shocked and affirmed her choice at the same time, determined to go on together with Aqiao.

After the dinner, Lao Tan returned home a little drunk, his son had already fallen asleep, and Lin Yan seemed to have just taken a shower and was about to go to bed.

Seeing his wife, Lao Tan had the urge to chat for a while, but just as he was about to open his mouth, Lin Yan's indifference dispelled the idea of ​​chatting.

Lin Yan just glanced at him and went back to her room without saying anything.

An unknown fire rose in Lao Tan's heart.

I haven't been home for nearly two months, and I haven't even said a word of greeting. Didn't you see such an adult standing here?
He wanted to get angry, wanted to stop the woman he called his wife, and even had the urge to rush up and grab her and beat her hard.

But no, just quietly watching her walk into the room and close the door.

The door closed, and the inside and outside of the house became two strange worlds.

But soon the door opened again, and Lin Yan put an unopened clothes box on the sofa in her hand, and said, "Your shirt, try it on later to see if it fits."

Old Tan was stunned. If I remembered correctly, Lin Yan hadn't bought clothes for him for ten years, and all the clothes she wore were bought by herself.

"Last two days in your store, there was a girl named Xiaohui who came with her partner and said they got married on October [-]st—brought you cigarettes and wine and put them in your room." Lin Yan said again.

Old Tan regained his composure and said, "Well, then we will participate together."

"I may not have time. On October 24st, our unit is busy, and we have to deliver goods [-] hours a day. If we don't even come back, your representative will do." Lin Yan said.

"Oh, that's fine too."

What Lin Yan said is the truth, the colder the cold chain is, the busier they are during the holidays.

"August Festival is two days away, I'll go home and have a look." Old Tan said.

"Go back, I don't have time, I can't go back, Jiaheng is on vacation --- I'll ask the coach, if he doesn't practice, he will go back with you." Lin Yan said.

"It's best for the three of us to be together," Old Tan said.

"No, I don't have time." Lin Yan said bluntly: "I can't even go back to my mother's house." It means that if I can't go back to my mother's house, don't mention yours.Then he said: "By the way, I picked up the trolley and it will arrive next month."

Lin Yan said that she wanted to buy a car, and Lao Tan also agreed. She didn't expect to buy it so soon, and she was a little surprised. She asked, "What car?"

"Hyundai Jeep, 23."

"Okay." Old Tan nodded.

"Our family is out of money now, and my elder brother bought a big one—" Lin Yan said intentionally, seemingly unintentionally.

Lao Tan immediately understood what it meant—Lin Yan supported her elder brother with the money from the family, and at the same time knew that the money would never be returned.

"Oh, you didn't tell me?" Old Tan was a little angry, but it was not serious, mainly because of the friendship of that shirt.

"Didn't I tell you that?" Lin Yan's tone was a little stiff.

Old Tan's mild anger became serious, he looked at his wife and said, "You should have told me in advance."

"I forgot at the time, and besides, you were not at home." Lin Yan's tone slowed down, after all, she was a little guilty.

"Lin Yan, we are husband and wife, I have no objection to you taking the money, but I should know." Old Tan said seriously.

"Didn't I tell you this? It's not like my elder brother won't pay it back." Lin Yan said with some confidence.

"This and not yet are two different things—" Lao Tan suppressed his anger, and said, "I'm talking about the two of us, do you think it's okay to always be like this?"

"You mean divorce." Lin Yan seemed to have found a reason and distorted what Lao Tan meant.

"You—" Old Tan pointed at Lin Yan, so angry that he didn't know what to say.

"What's wrong with me? I know what you mean. I think it's good for us to do this. No one interferes with the other, isn't it good?"

"Okay?"

"I think it's fine. Okay, I'm sleepy, I'm going to bed, and I have to get up early tomorrow to cook for my children. By the way, your son is a good basketball player. He will participate in the city's elementary school basketball game next month. You will encourage him tomorrow." he."

After Lin Yan finished speaking, she went back to the room and closed the door completely.

Old Tan stood in the living room in a daze for a long time, and finally let out a long breath, and went back to the house without taking the shirt.

Because of the anger in my heart, I didn't know what to do when I went to the house. I sat at the desk for a while, feeling depressed, went to the kitchen to find something to eat, went back to the house, opened a bottle of white wine, and poured a full glass.Then he turned on the computer, randomly found an exciting movie, and drank while watching it.

Gradually, I was attracted by the plot in the movie, and drank a bottle of wine after watching it.

A black car is running on the road.

Golden, the golden color in the eyes receded quickly to both sides of the car, and the air that floated into the car windows smelled of grains.

The fields on both sides of the road are golden, the mountains in the distance are golden, and even the river flowing down the mountain is golden.

Autumn is the most beautiful season in the countryside, and it is also the happiest time for farmers.

Three springs cannot be busy in one autumn.This time is also the busiest time for farmers, and the busyness is full of joy of harvest.

Although many farmers no longer rely on the land for money, the autumn harvest is still fascinating and greedy. No matter what they do, they will leave two acres of land, plant a piece of corn or millet, and put down their business when the autumn harvest comes. , Go to the field to have an addiction to harvest autumn.

Not for anything else, just because I am a farmer, and that piece of golden color that makes me feel happy.

This time, Lao Tan came home alone.Because the son was going to participate in the competition, the coach took advantage of the holiday to conduct training, so he didn't follow him.

After the group meeting, Yanhua, Zhang Li, Zhou Xiaomei, and Zhongqing all advised Lao Tan to go to the hospital for an examination and then stay in the hospital for a period of time.Lao Tan didn't agree right away, saying that he would go home to spend the holidays with his mother first, and after the holidays came back to attend Xiaohui and Xiaolong's wedding, he would go for an examination, and then he would be hospitalized for treatment according to the doctor's instructions.

Everyone saw that what he said was serious and reasonable after thinking about it, so they didn't insist.

But Lao Tan's real plan is to go directly to Yiyang, Hunan after attending Xiaohui's wedding. He has already contacted a well-run restaurant there, and asked Zhang Yu to post two white sheep there in advance, so that it will be convenient when he arrives. some.

That restaurant is called "Rice Soup Taste", and it is doing very well. There are only four restaurants in a small county town of Yiyang, and the business of each family is booming.The most important thing is that there is no charge in his house, a completely open kitchen, which is worth learning.

As for the body, Lao Tan didn't think too much about it. He was just 41, so even if it's not good, where can it go?Still got cancer?

When a person reaches forty, it is the time to do business. He is full of energy and concentrated. There is no major problem except high blood pressure, and there is no need to be hospitalized.

Now that the group is established, there are many things waiting to be done, how can I be hospitalized?

The development of the provincial capital has been finalized, and at most one more direct store will be built.Zhang Xiangdong is the agent here. From now on, he will be in charge of the cooperative stores in the Northeast District. If there is anything to do, just talk to him directly, saving worry and effort.

Zhang Li is the general manager of the Northeast Region. I believe that with the cooperation of her and Zhang Xiangdong, the Northeast Region will have a good development.

The Northwest District is coordinated by Zhou Xiaomei and Mr. Wang.At the meeting, Mr. Wang put forward the idea of ​​preparing to develop in Beijing. Regarding this point, Lao Tan means to be stable first. This year and next two years, the main energy will be focused on Hohhot and surrounding cities, and the Beijing market will be considered after it is perfected.

Compared with Beijing, Lao Tan pays more attention to the south. It is his ideal and goal to make Northeast dumplings to the south.
