Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

In the past, when the bank executive heard that this restaurant was dubbed "the most delicious restaurant in Beijing", he always felt that it was an exaggeration. It was not until he tasted it himself that he admitted that there was really no restaurant in the city that could surpass the level of this one.

The atmosphere of the whole banquet was harmonious and harmonious. All the guests were honored, so there was no need to be too rigid about the drinking ceremony. This meal not only satisfied Su Chen and his wife, but also Yang Xue, who experienced the joy of a full meal for the first time.

Since the last time she had a bowl of egg fried rice, Yang Xue rarely came here to eat. This time, she finally satisfied her craving and patted her belly contentedly.

The military commander, the bank president and others stood up to say goodbye to Su Chen one after another. They still had a lot of official business to deal with, so it was inconvenient to stay for long. Su Chen very considerately escorted everyone to the door.

Since the dinner was held in the hotel he opened, Su Chen naturally did not need to pay the bill. He took Yang Xue directly out of the hotel.

The military commander turned around and said to Su Chen: "If there are any important actions in the future, please let me know in advance. I am old and can't stand the hardship."

Su Chen looked at the leader's full head of black hair and said with a smile: "I will definitely inform you in advance in the future."

It wasn't that Su Chen didn't want the chief to be prepared, but his luck had been really good recently, and things were progressing very fast, so he didn't even have time to inform the chief in advance. He could only hope that the chief would be stronger, so as not to be frightened again in the future.

……

The chief glanced at Su Chen, knowing that it was just a polite remark, shook his head and sighed, got on the car and left. The others also said goodbye to Su Chen, and soon only Yang Xue and Su Chen were left standing at the door of the hotel.

Wang David received the news and immediately hurried out from the kitchen. Today, there was only one guest, Su Chen's table. After preparing this table of dishes, he had no other tasks. So Wang David hurried to meet Su Chen.

Thanks to this good man, Wang David has always been grateful to Suchen for helping him regain the hotel. Even though his thinking is sometimes different, his gratitude is sincere.

Seeing Wang David coming over, Su Chen stopped and asked, "Have you finished the work in the kitchen?"

Hearing this, Wang David nodded quickly: "The dishes are all here. If the boss wants to eat something else, you can always tell him."

In response, Su Chen shook his head helplessly and said, "No need, what we have eaten just now is enough. Your skills are quite good, please keep working hard."

Hearing such a brief and simple praise, Wang David's cheeks flushed, and he was obviously very proud. In the past, Wang David was always despised and never thought that he could reach the height of a royal chef, so Su Chen's affirmation made him overjoyed.

While taking off his chef's hat, Wang David bowed and thanked: "Thank you for your trust and support, boss. I will definitely work hard."

Seeing Wang David like this, Su Chen waved his hand: "You've worked hard all day today, go and have a good rest."

The reputation of the entire canteen depends on Wang David's excellent cooking skills, so Su Chen does not want to overly oppress his subordinates and arranges for Wang David to rest as soon as possible.

After seeing Wang David leave, Su Chen shook his head at the honest but seemingly somewhat slow chef.

Fortunately, Li Hongbing had already been expelled by Su Chen, and Wang Daming was very obedient and capable under his command, otherwise Wang David might have been framed by some people with ulterior motives.

Thinking of this, Su Chen felt that accepting the Shanfang Hotel was a wise decision.

Firstly, the joining of a top chef like David Wang is a great gain; secondly, having a top “resource allocation expert” like Wang Daming is like tapping into a treasure trove.

After all, in contemporary society, there are many merchants who go to the border of the Polar Bear Country to exchange goods, but only Wang Daming can bring back high-tech products like satellites.

This really made Su Chen feel like he had picked up a huge treasure.

Seeing Wang David leave, Yang Xue asked curiously: "He has a unique speaking style, but the food he cooks is really delicious."

Su Chen nodded in approval and said, "Indeed, he has devoted his life to the research and development of palace dishes. His superb technical skills are naturally foreseeable. Even if his behavior is a little strange, he is still worthy of our long-term employment."

The couple then decided to take a leisurely walk along the street to help digestion instead of returning home immediately.

Yang Xue walked beside Su Chen, looking at his resolute face, and waves of warmth surged in her heart.

Sensing Yang Xue's mood change, Su Chen gently grabbed her hand and said, "Do you like today's meal?"

In response to this question, Yang Xue smiled and nodded, saying, "I like it very much."

"So, let's start living under the same roof now. Will you be happy about it?" Su Chen asked.

Yang Xue's cheeks flushed slightly, and she glanced at Su Chen with a smile, "Of course it's very pleasant, because we can finally be together day and night."

Although she was still a little shy, her heart was filled with happiness and sweetness.

Faced with Yang Xue's performance, Su Chen smiled heartily and pulled Yang Xue closer to him, and they walked side by side on the streets of the city at night in 1949.

The nights in this city had not yet reached the bright lights of modern times, and the two could only move forward slowly relying on the light of street lamps. Soon, Yang Xue pushed Su Chen away slightly and reminded him to pay attention to the occasion to avoid attracting the attention of passers-by, so they stopped their overly intimate actions.

They walked home leisurely. As soon as they entered the room, Yang Xue was embraced by Su Chen.

The sudden action made her scream and grab the other person's shoulders tightly.

He was quite proud of her reaction, and then a smile appeared on his face. He carried Yang Xue into the room, gently threw her onto the mattress and gently closed the door.

The following scene is another beautiful and warm night...

On the other hand, while Suchen was enjoying love, the technicians who had traveled to Ethiopia were receiving the new plots of land assigned by the government. This was the reward for their hard work - in addition to the rice fields they had cultivated, the government also gave them the right to use some adjacent undeveloped areas. These plots of land made every technician very excited, and after work they all eagerly looked forward to seeing their own "trophies".

The outermost area has been reclaimed by them for growing vegetables, and after the technicians inspected the inner area, they found that although the land was large, it was relatively barren. Compared with the vegetable plot they selected, this land contained too much sand and gravel, the soil had poor water retention and insufficient nutrition, so it was not suitable for growing crops.

Seeing this situation, the technicians seemed a little frustrated, but they soon realized that such a large piece of land could definitely be used for other purposes. So they simply tested the soil and minerals.

Although these technicians usually work in steel mills, they have performed a variety of operations in the past and have accumulated a lot of experience. Therefore, visiting various places to investigate soil and mineral deposits has become a regular business trip for them.

It was this habitual operation that brought them a major discovery. Under the leadership of Man Jianjun, everyone carefully measured the land.

This piece of land in Ethiopia was specially allocated to them by the government of that country. Since most of Ethiopia is desert or desertified land, such wasteland is not of good quality. If it is allocated to them, the government of Ethiopia will not suffer much loss.

The reason why the Ethiopian government was willing to give them this land was to keep these technical talents in this way, because they felt that these people were down-to-earth and hardworking.

However, Ethiopia's wishful thinking was doomed to fail. The technicians' first reaction after obtaining the land was to hand it over to the steel mill for management.

Su Chen treated these technicians very well, so they did not want to stay in this foreign country. They just hoped to complete their mission and return home as soon as possible.

After completing a detailed measurement, Man Jianjun and other technicians examined the soil composition and underground mineral content of the land inch by inch in order to decide on the subsequent development plan.

However, during a quick mineral exploration, they found that the mineral resources here were very ordinary. Man Jianjun couldn't help but complain: "What's the use of this land if it can't be used for planting and has no mineral value?"

Even though he said that, he was still very happy to get a piece of land. If there was some additional value, it would be icing on the cake.

However, Man Jianjun was not discouraged. They continued to explore the land. Soon, one of the technicians' data results came out. He opened his eyes wide in astonishment, "There is oil under this land!"

Hearing this, everyone was excited. They all rushed over and stared at the companion who made the report in disbelief. They really couldn't imagine that such precious resources could be hidden under such a barren land. Man Jianjun immediately ordered others to take samples again for verification. The new round of data results once again confirmed that there was indeed oil under this land.

All the technicians cheered and hugged each other, their excitement was beyond words. "I didn't expect we found oil here! It's more valuable than gold!" someone shouted excitedly.

"It's unbelievable! I actually got such a good thing today. We are going to make a fortune!"

The technical backbones were very excited, but they immediately realized the importance of confidentiality and kept the news strictly sealed.

Man Jianjun said seriously: "The news that we found oil must not be disclosed to Ethiopia. Everyone must keep it a secret. If anyone leaks the information, they will not be able to continue working here."

The other technical backbones nodded one after another, their faces solemn.

After all, oil is a resource that every country is competing for. If the Ethiopian government knew about it, they might not even have the chance to return home safely.

Although the officials now appear to respect them on the surface, once they learn of the existence of oil fields here, robbery and murder are not impossible.
