Zhang Ning kept thinking about his aunt's lonely back today, and then he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep at night, which made Suning lose sleep.
"Zhang Ning, what's wrong? How about we fight for another 300 rounds?"
"Go to hell! All these things are on your mind!"
Aren’t you afraid of hurting the baby in my belly?”
"Hey, then why are you tossing and turning and not sleeping?"
"Brother, I've been thinking about my mother's lonely back when she left. It feels so sad to see her!"
"Hey! We are not gods!
Not their nanny either!
Why do you have so many idle thoughts?"
"Brother, Auntie is different from others!
She is really good to our family!”
Hearing Zhang Ning's emotion, Suning didn't know that it was because Zhang Ning missed his biological mother, and unconsciously brought his aunt into the role of mother, just like his younger sister He Yuyu.
"Zhang Ning, the affairs of the First Master's family are too complicated.
What he needs is not children, but to control other people's lives.
In his heart, his children, like his wife, will always be someone else's good friend!"
"Ah? No way!"
"Even if I get him a child from the orphanage tomorrow, I won't be satisfied!
Because that would require him to give, and giving is exactly what he is least willing to do."
"Brother, are you thinking too much?" Zhang Ning was also surprised by Suning's analysis.
"Zhang Ning, I know this person very well!
In the past, in order to control me, you can say that you have done anything you can!
Now that he sees that I have escaped his control, he is very unwilling to do so.
Always try your best to put the invisible rope on me!"
"But......"
"But Auntie is a good person, right?" Suning anticipated Zhang Ning's words in advance.
"Um!"
"My mother's health is very poor and she doesn't have many years left to live!
The grandpa has always been the master of everything in his family.
Zhang Ning, do you think I will agree to accept children from the orphanage?"
"But Jinghui is similar to a child adopted from an orphanage!" Zhang Ning still couldn't turn this corner.
"Hey! I've said so much, but you still don't understand!
The uncle is a drunkard who doesn’t care about drinking. The biological father of Jinghui he cares about is me, He Yuzhu!"
"Ah? Now I understand everything!
The master’s scheming is too deep!”
"Forget it! Stop mentioning these top products! Go to sleep!"
"Yeah! By the way! Brother, didn't you say you still want to go to the orphanage to pick up some children?"
"Well! Not for the time being!
You are going to have another baby soon, so let’s raise these five little cubs first and then talk about other things!”
"Well! Brother, I will listen to you!"
"Hey, listen to my brother and go to bed quickly!" Suning hugged his wife and fell asleep.
Zhang Ning listened to her husband's even breathing while sleeping and felt that her life was extremely happy. She was lucky to have met such a high-quality man who was willing to grow old together with her.
...
Time flies by like a flash, and soon it is seven or eight years, and the spring breeze of openness is blowing to all parts of China. Lou Xiao'e, who is far away in Hong Kong, has begun to be unable to contain the excitement in her heart and wants to rush back to the mainland as soon as possible.
"Luo Bing, have you heard any news from the mainland recently?"
"Well! The policy has finally changed!
But many businessmen in Hong Kong are still waiting and watching!"
"I want to take advantage of the good opportunity to take Jingguo and Jingtai back to the capital.
They are already thirteen years old, and they still have not seen their father!"
"Eh? Xiao'e, are you too impatient?
I think it's best to wait and see for a while.
You must know that we are no longer ordinary people with nothing, but CEOs who control a huge group!
I have to be responsible for every move I make by my employees!"
"This..." Lou Xiao'e knew that what Luo Bing said made sense, so she stopped insisting.
Suning has resigned from the steel rolling mill. After all, the policy has changed, and there is no need to continue to be decadent in the steel rolling mill.
In the current concept of most Chinese people, formal employment is still the most secure, but no one dares to do business abroad, so Suning's resignation caused a great sensation in the steel rolling mill and courtyard.
"Lao Yi, I heard that Shazhu resigned from the steel rolling mill?
Is there something wrong with his mind?
That's a canteen director who earns 120 yuan a month!" The third uncle Yan Bugui showed a distressed expression, feeling as if he had lost the 120 yuan.
"Hmph! I have stopped asking about Silly Zhu's affairs a long time ago. Let him mess around outside!"
"Lao Yi, you can't say this!
No matter what, Shazhu walked out of our courtyard.
Those of us who are elders still need to be disciplined!" Yan Bugui disagreed with what the elder Yi Zhonghai said.
When Yi Zhonghai heard the third uncle Yan Bugui's rebuttal, he felt the urge to step forward. He just looked at the calm and calm second uncle Liu Haizhong, and Yi Zhonghai's heart suddenly tightened unconsciously.
"Old Liu, you are the second uncle of our courtyard!
You still need to take care of the affairs of the courtyard!"
"Haha, who still takes us uncles seriously now?
I think we should go back and wash up and sleep!" Liu Haizhong smiled nonchalantly, and after saying that, he turned around and went back to the backyard.
"Oh! Old Liu, I can't think of you to say that!
As uncles, we must seek our own government in our positions!" Yan Bugui was very dissatisfied with Liu Haizhong's idea.
"Lao Yan, Lao Yi, haven't you noticed the recent policy changes?
Fortunately, one of you is a primary school teacher, and the other was once the deputy director of a steel rolling mill, so you have no political consciousness at all!"
"What?" Yan Bugui showed a confused expression and looked at the elder Yi Zhonghai who also looked confused.
"Huh! Now we have reform and opening up!
Who still cares about these idiots in the courtyard!"
Looking at the second uncle Liu Haizhong's leaving figure, with Liu Haizhong's words echoing in their ears, Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai were both stunned on the spot, feeling the coldness of the winter of 1978.
...
After Suning resigned from the steel rolling mill, he concentrated on starting his own business. He originally wanted to discuss with the boss to get the management rights of the restaurant back, but the restaurant's current business is still second to none in the capital, and he would have to face resistance to get the management rights back.
It's very big.
In order not to cause unnecessary trouble and not to cause trouble for the senior leader and his wife, it is better to endure it for a while.
The management rights of the restaurant must be taken back, so Suning must use some means. As long as the restaurant cannot continue to operate, it will have more opportunities.
In addition to asking MCA to bring people to resign from the restaurant, they also need to open a restaurant next to the restaurant with better dishes and better services. Only in this way can we get back the management rights of the restaurant in an honest and fair manner.
After much deliberation, Suning finally felt that the two-bedroom courtyard house where she lived now was the most suitable. With a simple renovation, she could start running a high-end restaurant.
After the reform and opening up in 1978, exchanges with the outside world slowly resumed. Many people in Beijing studied abroad, and many even immigrated directly abroad. This gave Suning many opportunities to purchase new properties.
Suning then took a fancy to a large courtyard house with three entrances near Shichahai. It covers an area of about seven or eight acres and cost Suning a huge sum of 5,000 yuan.
Of course, Suning couldn't have so much money, and many years of salary had been used to support the family, so Suning began to use its gold reserves of storage space.
When the original homeowner saw that Suning actually took out the gold for the transaction, he immediately expressed surprise and was very happy for the transaction. After all, gold is the hard currency in this world.
Suning's five children are all able to take care of themselves. The eldest, He Jinghui, is now a twelve-year-old girl, and the youngest, He Jinghe, is five years old, so Suning can completely focus on her career.
The children were very resistant to moving at first. After all, this is the place where they have lived for a long time, and it contains the joy and happiness of the family.
Suning and his wife also saw the unhappy expressions of the children, but they did not explain anything to them. Instead, they looked at each other with disinterested expressions.
When the children arrived at their new, bigger home and felt the beautiful environment of Shichahai, their nostalgia for the old house was completely forgotten. They left their luggage and happily chose their own rooms.
"Dad, our new home is so beautiful!" Jinghui was the oldest after all, so she didn't have as much fun as her younger siblings.
"Haha, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and choose your own room!"
"I...I'd better help my parents move!" He Jinghui was very moved, but she was still sensible and wanted to stay and work.
Suning stroked He Jinghui's head lovingly and said with a smile, "Go! There aren't many things!"
Just me and your mother!"
With Suning's permission, He Jinghui stopped insisting and followed her brothers and sisters to choose a house.
"Brother, Jinghui is so sensible!"
"Yeah! Being sensible makes me feel a little sad!
At this age, he should be as free as Jingshan and the others, so why is there so much pressure?" Looking at the sensible eldest daughter He Jinghui, Suning also had a headache, wondering if he had not done a good enough job as a father?
"Brother, do you think Jinghui always thought that she was the eldest in the family and that she should share the burden of being our parents?"
"Well! It's possible!
It is not good for children to be too sensible, they should be as carefree as Jingshan and the others!"
"Haha, brother, please don't say this outside again, otherwise others will say you are pretending!"
"Well?"
...
Renovation matters these days are very simple, without the tediousness and trouble of later generations. As long as Suning is willing to contact, there will soon be many workers willing to come and work.
It only took two weeks to enter the courtyard and it was converted into a high-end hotel. It is still a courtyard hotel with Beijing characteristics and is definitely the best in Beijing.
After the hotel was renovated, the tables and chairs customized by Suning were delivered by carpenters within two days. After Ma Hua and others had tidied up the kitchen, they could choose an auspicious day to open the restaurant.
Suning could not do anything to have MCA and others suddenly resign from the restaurant, so Suning had already asked MCA and others to submit resignation reports in advance.
When You Fengxia received the resignation report from MCA and others, she was really shocked. It really refreshed her outlook and understanding.
"Master Ma, is the salary too low?
We can discuss the salary issue externally!"
“Manager You, you misunderstood!
We, this group of people, really cannot continue to work in the restaurant due to personal reasons!"
"This...you suddenly resigned like this!
Where can I find a chef to fill the vacancy?”
"Haha, don't worry, Manager You!
We will wait until you find a suitable chef to take over before we really leave the restaurant!"
"Eh? That's okay!
I thought you were going to have it right away!" After hearing Ma Hua's explanation, You Fengxia breathed a sigh of relief.
"Manager You, although we are willing to wait as long as possible!
But it’s best not to take too long. It would be best if you can leave after a month!”
"Well! Don't worry, Master Ma! I understand what you mean!"
"Thank you, Manager You, for your understanding!"
"Master Ma, is your master He Yuzhu planning to make some big move?" You Fengxia's heart moved and she suddenly looked at Ma Hua with curiosity.
"Haha, that's right!
The resignation was indeed arranged by my master!
But as for whether there is any big move, I don’t know!”
"Huh? Your master thinks so highly of you that he won't tell you anything important?" You Fengxia looked questioning.
"That's right! I just need to do what the master arranges, why do I have to worry about so many things!
Anyway, my master won’t harm me!”
"Huh?" Seeing the innocent look on Ma Hua's face, You Fengxia didn't know whether to say that Ma Hua was stupid or that he was loyal to Suning.
Seeing that she couldn't get any important information from MCA, You Fengxia gave up. Anyway, no matter what Suning did, it had nothing to do with her. Now she must find a chef as soon as possible to replace MCA's departure.
When you think of finding a chef, You Fengxia gets a headache again. Although there are many chefs in the capital, there are very few who are good at cooking, and even fewer are masters and apprentices like Suning and Ma Hua.
You Fengxia has run this state-owned restaurant for many years and has indeed met many people, but most of her relationships are relatively mediocre and she does not have many deep friendships.
After thinking for a long time, I finally picked up the phone on the table and called my husband Liu Chuanzhi, "Dear, I'm in trouble now! You have to help me solve it!"
"Uh? What's wrong?"
"It's not that He Yuzhu who suddenly asked his apprentice Ma Hua to resign from the restaurant with his subordinates!
So now I need to find a chef who can replace MCA and the others right away!”
"What? Does Master He want to take back the management rights of the restaurant?" Liu Chuanzhi suddenly made a guess.
"Eh? I don't know either!
But if you remind me like this, it is really possible!"
"Well! Fengxia, what do you think?"
"Hmph! What else can you think of!
He Yuzhu thought beautifully!
The restaurant is my, You Fengxia's territory, and I won't give it up so easily!"
"Haha, it's up to you! It's easy to solve this matter!"
"Simple? Humph! Then give me a simple one!"
"Haha, I heard that Master He also has a cook named Fatty in the steel rolling mill. Although his craftsmanship is not as good as that of MCA, he is still so-so!"
"Ah? Really? Great!
It's just that Master He, Ma Hua, and this fat man were all recruited from the steel rolling mill, and the leaders of the steel rolling mill are still not angry with me!" You Fengxia was immediately pleasantly surprised, but soon became a little worried.
"Haha, I have a good relationship with Li Gang, the director of the steel rolling mill!
Recently, national policies have changed, and his life at the steel rolling mill has not been easy.
If he hadn't paid great attention to the quality of factory production in the past ten years, he would have been driven away long ago!
Recently he wants to resign and go into business, but he won’t take anything seriously about a cook!”
"Well! That's good!
Chuanzhi, tell me, what's the point of staying in that research institute?
You might as well learn to do business with this Li Gang!"
"Uh? Computer!
How many times have I told you, but you just can’t remember it?”
"Forget it! I don't care about your plans!
You'd better consider my proposal!"
"The leaders of the institute are currently inspecting me and may promote me to assistant researcher. I still like to stay at the Institute of Computer Science."
"Hmph! It's up to you! Anyway, we can't agree to go together!"
"Eh? Fengxia, how about this!
Regarding the cook, I will help you contact him!
I’ll also pay a visit to Master He!
Try to stop him from being too hasty to let MCA leave. It’s best if MCA stays!”
"Well! Hang up!"
You Fengxia disliked Liu Chuanzhi very much. Apart from the fact that his family was superior, he really had no interest at all. All he thought about every day was computers that she didn't understand. She even talked about "computer" and "computer" in her dreams.
, You Fengxia is fed up with this life without passion.
Hearing You Fengxia hang up the phone, Liu Chuanzhi on the other end of the phone sighed helplessly. How could he not know the differences with You Fengxia? He also knew that You Fengxia was a woman who advocated material and wealth.
I don’t like my current job as a researcher.
Seeing that there was no work on hand, Liu Chuanzhi looked at the time and was about to get up and go find Suning.
Suning looked at Liu Chuanzhi who suddenly arrived without any surprise, knowing that he must be here for MCA matters.
"Master He, we meet again!"
"Haha, Chuanzhi, are you here because of the MCA thing?"
"Master He, I really can't hide anything from you!"
"Chuanzhi, I have resigned from the steel rolling mill!
I was about to open my own restaurant, so MCA came back to help me fill the kitchen!"
"Ah? Does Master He have a suitable place?"
"Yeah! It's the two-bedroom courtyard next to the restaurant!"
"What?" Liu Chuanzhi was really surprised, because he knew that it would definitely affect You Fengxia's state-owned restaurant.
When Suning looked at Liu Chuanzhi in front of him, he always felt as if he had seen him before somewhere, and there was always a very familiar feeling.
"Chuanzhi, I heard that you are a researcher at what institute?"
"Yes! Computer Research Institute!"
"..." Suning's heart moved, and she suddenly realized why Liu Chuanzhi looked familiar.
"Chuanzhi, I'm very curious about your experience!
You don’t mind telling me?”
"Haha, I don't mind!
It’s Chuanzhi’s honor that Master He is willing to listen!”
"Master He, after I graduated from Yucai School in Beijing, I was admitted to a university in Xi'an. After graduating from university, I entered the Computer Research Institute!
Haha, actually I don’t have much experience!”
"..." After hearing Liu Chuanzhi's self-introduction, Suning was sure that he was the guy who would be "loyal to the whole family" in future generations.
Suning really didn't expect that the gentle and gentle Liu Chuanzhi in front of him would turn out to be the famous Liu Chuanzhi in later generations. He silently shouted in his heart, Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
"Chuanzhi, I'm more than ten years older than you!
If you don’t mind from now on, just call me big brother!!
Master He sounds weird!"
"Brother!" Liu Chuanzhi shouted in surprise.
"Um!"
Suning was also a little surprised to recognize this younger brother. Although Liu Chuanzhi's character needs to be improved in future generations, Suning does not mind investing in this high-quality stock in advance.
"Brother, the institute will send me to Hong Kong for research in a few days!
If you have any products that I bring, just tell me directly!"
"Hong Kong?" Suning suddenly had an idea in his mind.
"Yes! It's Hong Kong!"
“Chuanzhi, you don’t need to bring anything with you!
But when you go to Hong Kong, help me find out if there is a Jingzhu Group and the situation of the Lou family."
"The Lou family? Is it the Lou half of the capital in the past?"
"Yes! It's their home!
You only need to inquire about the current situation of their Lou family, and there is no need to contact anyone else!"
"Well! Brother, don't worry!
I know the weight inside.
Although it is now proposed to open up, it is still relatively sensitive!"
“Chuanzhi, I really didn’t expect it!
You are so smart!
It seems that your future is limitless in the future!"
"Haha, then I'll leave it to my eldest brother for good luck!"
"Chuanzhi, if you become prosperous in the future!
You must take good care of me as your big brother!"
"Haha, don't worry, brother!
We brothers will definitely help each other in the future!"
Liu Chuanzhi was also well aware of Suning's background. Although he was a little confused about Suning's sudden show of goodwill, it still did not prevent him from being pleasantly surprised.
