Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 268
Mingshan Pavilion in Changqiao Town.

Less than half an hour after Jin Xi and Liang Yuzhong left, Mr. Liu hurried back to the restaurant from outside, and went straight into the private room behind the lobby.

In the private room, Shopkeeper Dai was waiting there when he saw Mr. Liu enter the door, put down the tea bowl in his hand, narrowed his eyes and asked anxiously: "Old Liu, is that carriage really going back?"

Mr. Liu lifted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, sat down and laughed and said, "The new official took office three times. Now that the new owner has just taken over, how can we confront her face-to-face, right? The little girl got angry and turned us off." On an errand, the whole family, old and young, are going to drink the northwest wind?"

Shopkeeper Dai nodded and said with a smile: "Isn't that right? The little girl looks mature, but after all, that age is still there, she's too young! It's okay to retreat, the situation is unclear at the moment, let's not be that early bird!"

"Old Dai, you said, our Mingshan Pavilion will really be taken care of by the little girl surnamed Liang in the future? As soon as you come here, she will give us a favor and promote you to be the shopkeeper. Do you think this is reliable? " Mr. Liu asked in a low voice.

Shopkeeper Dai shook his head, raised an index finger and pointed at the top of his head, and said, "I can't say whether it's reliable or not, it depends on what the people above do!"

Mr. Liu narrowed his small eyes behind his thick lenses, and said, "You're right, the restaurant in our town is just a small colony, and none of the managers in the main restaurant in the county seat are fuel-efficient. Light. In the past, shopkeeper Fang was in charge, but now shopkeeper Fang followed Wendong's family and left. There are no leaders in this head office, what a mess!"

"Hey, with the big bosses in charge at the head office, whether the new owner can stand firm is another matter! The little colony in our town doesn't have to do anything, and don't offend both sides. Just sit and wait to see the direction of the wind!" Shopkeeper Dai said with a deep smile, eyes full of calculations.

"Based on the current situation, the change of owner of our Mingshan Pavilion may not necessarily be known to the big bosses in charge of the county headquarters!" Mr. Liu analyzed.

"Don't worry, Old Liu, I have already sent my staff to the county seat to deliver a letter to Shopkeeper Xie." Shopkeeper Dai said.

Mr. Liu narrowed his eyes, gave shopkeeper Dai a thumbs-up and said: "It's better to be smart, old Dai, and report the news before the new owner goes to the county to take over. It's easy to sell favors to shopkeeper Xie!"

"Hey, it's okay if you don't sell it. With Wendong's family and shopkeeper Fang going, isn't shopkeeper Xie the most powerful person in Mingshan Pavilion? Besides, it's not like you and I don't understand his good temper. The person who offended him , which one will benefit?" Shopkeeper Dai said.

Mr. Liu also stroked his beard and nodded again and again. Even though he and shopkeeper Dai are veterans, the person in charge of the county headquarters has far more qualifications, contacts and skills than the two of them can compare. Just wait and see. !
……

In Wanghai County, Mingshan Pavilion Restaurant.

On the third floor, in a spacious private room for discussion, eight or nine men of different ages and expressions were seated around the big Eight Immortals table. The atmosphere is low and depressing.

The old man sitting at the top was about in his early fifties, wearing a taupe straight suit.Described as thin, with deep brows and eyes with a touch of sharpness, the two temples are already grey.

He sat there majesticly, pointing his finger at a letter on the table, his majestic eyes swept to the other people in front of him, and asked: "The urgent letter sent by Changqiao Town Semicolon, everyone has just seen it. .What do you guys think about the sudden change of owner of Mingshan Pavilion? Tell me one by one!"

The people sitting around the table of the Eight Immortals have different expressions, some are shocked, some are worried, some are disdainful and angry, and some are indifferent shape.

The old man looked around again, his tone became a little more serious, and he said: "All of you here are old people in Mingshan Pavilion, or they are important stewards. Now that the owner has changed, what do you think, but it's okay to say!"

The people at the table look at me and I look at you. Finally, a fair-skinned middle-aged man with a long mustache who sat on the lower left of the old man coughed, stood up, and bowed his hands to everyone present, saying: : "Since Shopkeeper Xie asked me to wait to express my thoughts, then I, Mr. Hu, will be the first to speak and express my opinion!"

All eyes on the table were focused on Mr. Hu, but Mr. Hu said: "Our Mingshan Pavilion, from the day it was founded, Mr. Xie, the shopkeeper, has been working with Wendong's family and Fang's shopkeeper. Founding veteran, although Wen Dong’s family is the owner, he rarely manages it himself. Shopkeeper Fang is also resident in Changqiao Town. The general name of Wanghai County is managed by Shopkeeper Xie Da! It can be said that Mingshan Pavilion can have Today's achievements can be established in several big towns below Wanghai County, thanks to Master Xie's contribution!"

Shopkeeper Xie Da, who sat on the head with a serious face, coughed lightly, and interrupted: "Master Hu, please get to the point."

Someone on the table laughed softly. Hu's face was embarrassing, and he cast a sharp eye at the place where the laughter came from. Among them, after Wen Dong's family and Shopkeeper Fang left, the only candidate who has the qualifications and ability to take over the Mingshan Pavilion is you, Shopkeeper Xie! She...what is it..."

"Liang Jinxi!" Someone reminded softly beside her.

"Yes, yes, she, Liang Jinxi, is a mere 12-year-old girl from the countryside. She is nothing. How can she take over a big stall like our Mingshan Pavilion? Why should she be above us? Go?" Hu Zhangshi was very dissatisfied, and he danced and danced while speaking, which complemented each other very well.

Everyone else at the table began to discuss in low voices.

"I agree with Manager Hu's proposal with all my hands! Shopkeeper Xie Da takes over Mingshan Pavilion and comes out to preside over the overall situation, which is what everyone expects. She, Liang Jinxi, is just a country girl with long hair and short knowledge. Why should she lead us? I said, Wen Dong’s family doesn’t know what to think, if they don’t entrust a capable person like Master Xie with old qualifications, how can they hand over a big stall like Mingshan Pavilion to a country girl? I’m so confused” a 30 A short and fat man of many years old, richly dressed, and fat-headed, got up and spoke.

Director Hu secretly nodded at the man who spoke, and the two of them smiled knowingly.

Shopkeeper Xie has been sitting firmly in the center, with a solemn expression, and looked at the short and fat man who was speaking displeasedly, and said: "Guard Li, don't talk about the master behind your back!" A few people said: "Boss Hu, who was in charge of scheduling all the affairs of the restaurant, and Manager Li, who was in charge of purchasing in the back hall, both expressed their views. You may wish to share your opinions. Today is the internal management discussion of our Mingshan Pavilion. It's business, no outsiders."

Shopkeeper Xie finished speaking, and ordered one of them, who was dressed in ordinary clothes but had a kind face. When he was not smiling, he looked like a tall, thin man around 25 with a smile on his face. , tell me!"

Steward Zhang stood up with a smile, and said, "I'm just the leader of a running hall. Thanks to Master Xie and everyone for their appreciation and praise, I was allowed to be the steward of the running hall. What can I do? What can I do for this owner to change hands?" As for opinions, whatever Master Xie says, that’s what it is, and the subordinates just obey!"

Shopkeeper Xie Da waved his hand and asked the waiter Zhang to sit down, and the table fell into silence.

A tall and thin middle-aged man in a green shirt with the appearance of a scholar slowly got up, bowed slightly to everyone, shook his wide sleeves and said in a clear voice: "Then let me say a few words, if you don't think carefully, Wanwang It’s up to you to be considerate. It’s just to represent my personal point of view, for your reference.”

"People with ink in their stomachs speak differently. I said Wang Xiucai, so don't talk to this guy, just speak up!" Sitting next to Wang Xiucai, with a Chinese face, The man with a black face and a loud voice laughed loudly.

"Chef Hong, your words are rough. In front of shopkeeper Xie, you should have the courtesy you should have." Wang Xiucai said, turning his head and continuing the previous topic.

"Just now shopkeeper Xie gave the letter to our big guy for review. I think the big guy also noticed that shopkeeper Dai mentioned the matter of the new boss Liang Jinxi in the letter." Wang Xiucai shook his wide sleeves and continued: "Although she's a little younger, she's been in the business field to some extent, and she should be somewhat incompetent."

"Even if we can't be convinced in our hearts, big guys, don't be negligent. In Liang Jinxi's hand, he is really holding Wen Dong's token - the red mud seal with the leopard's head! We don't agree anymore, as long as the little girl shows the seal Even if the little girl makes an irrational decision about running the restaurant, who of us can, dare to gnaw again? Maybe she will be stripped of her errand. It's a piece of cake!"

"I have always been in charge of this restaurant, inside and out. How can I allow her, who is good enough to be my granddaughter, to dictate?" Manager Xie's face darkened.

Everyone at the table turned dark, lost in thought, including Shopkeeper Xie himself.

The Hong chef with a loud voice slapped his thigh and said: "Oh, no wonder people say that this scholar has twisted intestines in his stomach, it really makes sense! That scholar, do you have any tricks to deal with that surname? Isn't Liang's little girl? We can't just blow her out, right?"

All eyes focused on Wang Xiucai once again, Wang Xiucai stood under the focus of such eyes, a little faintly proud.Seeing shopkeeper Xie's eyes all fall on him.

Wang Xiucai shook his wide sleeves, smiled slyly, and said: "She is the boss, and we are all her buddies in terms of reason. How can a buddy blow the boss to the door? But, if we use clever tricks, It would be even better if we let her retreat in spite of difficulties!"
