Return To 1998

8:00 am.

The office area of ​​Meijia Decoration Company.

Personnel Supervisor Nie Long got up and looked at everyone who was going to work. He suddenly clapped his hands, and after attracting everyone's attention, Nie Long coughed twice with a smile on his face, All colleagues! Let it go! Well, I have a good news to announce here, everyone listen carefully!

Director Nie, what's the good news? Hurry up and tell me!

That's it! Are you still selling off?

Good news? What good news?

Speak quickly!

...

Everyone in the office area hurriedly asked questions.

Seeing that everyone's curiosity was aroused, Nie Longcai announced: The good news is that we have free hot pot to eat at noon today!

Is there such a good thing?

real or fake?

Director Nie, is it your treat?

Director Nie, where are you going to invite everyone to eat?

Director Nie! You are so handsome!

...

The gossip was louder than before, and everyone had a happy look on their faces. With free hot pot to eat, who is not happy?

Nie Long laughed lightly, and clapped his hands again. Seeing this, everyone subconsciously fell silent.

After the office area was quiet, Nie Long explained with a smile: It's Mr. Xu's hot pot restaurant that is opening today! It's not me that treats guests, but if I want to say treats, it's also President Xu's treat today. Please let us all go to his hot pot restaurant to eat for free. A meal is a reward for everyone's hard work in the recent period, um, by the way, it can be regarded as a show for President Xu's new store, how about it? Do you have any colleagues who can't make time and can't go?

I'm going! I'm going!

Director Nie, count me in! I have time!

Director Nie, you're so bad, who wouldn't have time for such a good thing?

Yes! Director Nie, we all have time! Absolutely.

...

There was a deep smile in Nie Long's eyes.

Ask again: Have time? Are you sure you have time?

There was an affirmative answer all around.

Who would refuse such a good thing?

Nie Long: That's good! Then here, I will thank everyone for President Xu first!

No thanks! No thanks!

Ha ha……

Invite us to eat hot pot and thank us? It's so cool...

The crowd was happier.

Then, in front of everyone's eyes, Nie Long's words changed: Since everyone has time, everyone should pack up now, let's go to help Mr. Xu's new store disperse the brochures! Mr. Xu's hot pot restaurant is open, let's It doesn’t matter if you don’t give gifts, you have to help, right? Haha…”

Nie Long's smile reached its peak at this time, and he laughed happily.

However, his happiness seems to be based on everyone's depression.

The expressions of many people at the scene became astonished.

unbelievable.

What about free hot pot? Why do you have to help out?

Director Nie, you are too bad!

Director Nie, is it too late for me to quit now?

Holding the grass, I know that there is no such good thing in the world, and I even invite you to eat hot pot for free...

As a leader, there really isn't a good thing!

...

Everyone howled.

However, in the end, no one left.

Not to mention that Nie Long has repeatedly confirmed to everyone whether he is going.

It's just that the hot pot restaurant is Mr. Xu's business. Unless they don't want to be promoted and raised, Nie Long has spoken today. Can they refuse?

Moreover, in fact, everyone's depression is more because of Nie Long's trap.

If it wasn't for Nie Long who said that they would eat hot pot for free, they would not be so depressed when they heard that they were going to help distribute the leaflets.

I felt like I was being played by Nie Long.

Everyone took the time to pack up and went downstairs to wait for the bus together.

With so many people, it's not worth taking a taxi.

at this time.

Xu Tongdao and Zeng Xueyi have come to Datong Food Street.

Because it is still early, there are not many pedestrians on this food street, and the popularity is average.

The weather is good today. Although it is early, the rising sun has already risen in the east, and the sun is shining on the body, which is very warm.

They came by car.

The car just parked in the parking lot next to the food street, and walked to the hot pot restaurant at this time.

Before arriving at Ximen Yipin Hotpot Restaurant, he could see from a distance that General Manager Fu Yuan was directing a few people to lay flower baskets downstairs.

The flower baskets are divided into two columns and placed at the entrance of the stairs, which are very conspicuous.

There are red streamers on the flower basket, which looks festive.

In the middle of the two rows of flower baskets, a red carpet is also laid out, which makes it even more conspicuous.

Xu Tongdao and Zeng Xueyi approached, Fu Yuan saw them, and immediately trotted over, President Xu, President Zeng, you are here so early? !

Tongdao Xu and Zeng Xueyi both had smiles at the corners of their mouths.

Tong Xu said: Mr. Fu, you don't need to greet me, you can do your job, we can just go upstairs by ourselves.

Zeng Xueyi nodded in greeting.

Fu Yuan: Okay, okay!

He promised, but immediately turned around to say hello, Wang Chen! Wang Chen, come and accompany Mr. Xu and Mr. Zeng upstairs, hurry up! Hurry up!

So, Wang Chen didn't see Xu Tongdao and Zeng Xueyi just now, when he heard the sound, he was startled and saw that Xu Tongdao and Zeng Xueyi were coming, and trotted over immediately.

...

Come upstairs.

All I saw were busy figures.

Two female cashiers in white and black skirts are placing various wines on the wine rack behind the cashier.

The waiters in red and black dresses were wiping tables, setting dishes, sweeping and mopping floors in the hall.

Looking from a distance, in the kitchen deep in the hall, through the transparent glass wall, you can see everyone in white coats, busy with work.

No one is idle, everyone is busy.

Tongdao Xu stood beside the cashier, looking at everyone's busy figures, and asked Wang Chen next to him, Vice President Wang, how are the preparations going? Are there any problems?

Wang Chen smiled brightly, and shook his head quickly when he heard the words, No, no! President Xu, don't worry, according to your instructions, our store is fully staffed, and all the preparatory work will be done by someone, don't look at it now. Everyone is very busy. In fact, if you look closely, you can see that everyone is busy but not chaotic. For this opening today, we will hold a meeting every day and night for the past few days. All questions that can be thought of, Mr. Fu has made arrangements. .

Xu Tongdao was noncommittal.

Let's just believe it.

He had worked as a cook for several years before he was reborn. Knowing this business, no matter how beautifully he said it, it would be useless to see whether the preparations were done well or not.

Well, go get busy! I'll take a look at the kitchen!

Oh, good, good!

Wang Chen agreed, nodded to Xu Tongdao and Zeng Xueyi, and went downstairs.

Tongdao Xu took Zeng Xueyi through the hall and into the kitchen.

As soon as I came in, I saw two stainless steel barrels spewing water vapor.

Each barrel is more than one meter high and at least seventy or eighty centimeters in diameter.

With the steam exhaling, Xu Tongdao sniffed his nose and smelled the aroma of bone broth.
