On the way to the barbecue restaurant, Xu Tongdao thought that there would be no diners at Daolin BBQ restaurant at this time. Even if there were diners, it would take another two or three hours until nightfall.
After all, today is New Year’s Eve. Who doesn’t have New Year’s Eve dinner at home or go out for barbecue?
However, when the car was approaching Daolin's BBQ restaurant, he saw Xu Tonglin sitting in front of the oven outside the store, grilling skewers.
At this time, there was at least more than an hour before nightfall, and it was time for the New Year's Eve dinner.
At this time, someone actually came to have barbecue?
Could it be that Xu Tonglin grilled it and ate it with the store employees?
It is possible.
Today is New Year's Eve, so the work meals in the store will definitely be much richer than usual. If an employee wants to have some barbecue today, Xu Tonglin probably won't refuse.
After a while, Tongdao Xu parked his car on the roadside outside the store.
Xu Tonglin, who was grilling skewers, looked up.
Looking through the front windshield, he saw Xu Tongdao driving the car. Xu Tonglin smiled and raised his hand to wave to Xu Tongdao.
Comrade Xu smiled, put on the handbrake, turned off the engine, took off his seat belt, opened the door and got out of the car.
When I slammed the car door, I subconsciously glanced at the store.
There were actually two diners, a man and a woman, sitting in the shop eating.
This New Year’s Eve...
Xu Tongdao was surprised, but had no intention of exploring.
He strode up to Xu Tonglin, took out his cigarette case, and handed him a cigarette.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
"Serve the people!"
While Xu Tonglin was taking the cigarette, he made a silly remark.
Successfully made Comrade Xu laugh.
Tongdao Xu squatted next to him, lit a cigarette, and asked: "Have you, the chef, and the waiter in the store had New Year's Eve dinner today?"
"Well, let's eat! Just after we finished eating, two guests came."
Xu Tonglin held the flame of Xu Tongdao's lighter, lit the cigarette, blew out the smoke, and replied.
"You can't go home for the Chinese New Year this year, so why should you?"
Comrade Xu's tone was filled with helplessness.
Before the Chinese New Year, he and Xu Tonglin had a phone call. He wanted Xu Tonglin to close the business for a few days during the Chinese New Year, so that everyone in the store could take a holiday and go home to celebrate the New Year.
He, Comrade Xu, no longer cares about the little money this barbecue restaurant makes during the Chinese New Year.
But Xu Tonglin disagreed.
Xu Tonglin insists on not taking a holiday during the New Year.
I can’t bear to see Qian Jing during the Chinese New Year.
Xu Tonglin also has a 10% stake in this barbecue restaurant.
Xu Tonglin insists on not having a holiday during the New Year, can Tongdao Xu still force it?
It can only be done by Xu Tonglin.
"Why are you going home? Why don't you just have a New Year's Eve dinner with your parents? When I finish working these days and the store is not busy, wouldn't it be the same to go home and have dinner with them? Hehe, during the Chinese New Year
, the price of vegetables in our store can be legitimately doubled! Isn’t this money profitable? Hehe.”
As he spoke, Xu Tonglin laughed softly.
Comrade Xu couldn't help but laugh when he saw his money-obsessed look, and shook his head helplessly.
After being out for a few years, Xu Tonglin still puts money first in his heart.
It can be said to be a model of "never forget the original intention".
"Do you want to go to the city? If you want to go, I will make arrangements for you after the New Year begins?"
Comrade Xu said he had long thought about the proposal.
Xu Tonglin was quite surprised.
She turned to look at him, blinked, and asked curiously: "Go to the city? How are you going to arrange for me? Let me be the vice president of your company? Hehe, then I can't do it. I can do the cashier and barbecue, seriously.
I don’t even know how to cook a few dishes.”
After a pause, before Xu Tongdao could answer, Xu Tonglin added: "Besides, if I follow you to the city, what will happen to this barbecue restaurant? We are all gone and it will be completely left to others to take care of. Don't worry.
?
Even if you are relieved, I am not yet relieved! Hehe."
While he was talking, the kebabs in his hand were already grilled. He took a clean stainless steel tray and put the grilled kebabs on the tray. He stood up and walked a few steps quickly, walked into the store door, and handed it to the waiter inside.
Xu Tonglin returned to the oven again.
He took the small horse he was sitting on and put it next to Xu Tongdao's buttocks. He reached out and fetched a bucket of bean paste from a short distance away, and sat down directly on the bucket.
Comrade Xu saw it, smiled, and sat on the small horse.
He frowned slightly, "You... don't want to go to the city with me?"
Xu Tonglin took a puff of cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, smiled, and looked up at the sky in the distance, "Oh! Actually, I have thought about what you just said before. If I don't want to go to the city with you at all, then
It must be a lie! Really! I want to go to the city too.
Apart from anything else, going to the city will definitely broaden my horizons, and maybe I can even meet a beautiful woman in the city? Right? Hehe."
Comrade Xu laughed.
Xu Tonglin: "But, when I look back, I think again, apart from having a better time, there is really no benefit to me going to the city with you! Really!
Don't tell me that you can't arrange for me to be the vice president of the company, even if you arrange it for me, I can't do it!
Also, your business is so big now, and I don’t have the money to invest in your hot pot restaurants, decoration companies or Internet cafes, right?
Just go to the city with you and earn a dead salary...
Haha, Xiaodao, to be honest, during the two or three years that I opened this barbecue restaurant with you, I no longer want to earn a dead salary, and I don’t care about that dead salary, really!
So, I’d better stay here! I still have some shares here, right? Hehe.”
Comrade Xu was speechless.
Speechless.
Xu Tonglin's reasons convinced him.
Comparing his feelings with his own, if he were Xu Tonglin, he would probably make such a choice.
The profits of this barbecue restaurant are good. Being a small shareholder of such a barbecue restaurant is better than getting paid.
but……
"Lin Zi, our agreement with Wolf Legend is about to expire. When it expires, the barbecue here will no longer be sold to Wolf Legend, unless you have the ability to renew the contract with Wolf Legend."
As soon as Xu Tongdao said these words, Xu Tonglin's face changed slightly.
He frowned and looked at Comrade Xu, "You, are you not sure about renewing your contract with Legend of the Hungry Wolf?"
At the beginning, through the relationship he had with Zhiweixuanzhang, he signed an agreement with the dance hall Wolf Legend. It was agreed that within three years, the barbecue in his barbecue restaurant could be sold to Wolf Legend, and even on every table of Wolf Legend,
They always keep a menu from his barbecue restaurant.
After signing this agreement, the revenue of his barbecue restaurant has almost doubled.
Sometimes it more than doubles.
But three years... is almost up.
Once the agreement time comes, his barbecue restaurant will no longer be able to sell vegetables to Legend of the Hungry Wolf.
Of course, if he really wants to renew the contract, with his current relationship with Zhiweixuan Zhang, and Zhang Fafa's relationship with the Big Boss of Hungry Wolf Legend, Hou Jinbiao, it shouldn't be difficult to renew the contract.
But Xu Tongdao said he did not want to renew the contract.
Because... the memories before his rebirth told him that the ballroom industry was about to die, and the next era would be the era of KTV and nightclubs.
Unless Legend of the Hungry Wolf can take advantage of the situation and transform.
Even so, he still didn't want to renew his contract.
Because he had always known that Hou Jinbiao from Legend of the Hungry Wolf was not clean at all, he, Comrade Xu, did not want to continue to be involved with Hou Jinbiao.
Therefore, when faced with Xu Tonglin's rhetorical question, he hummed, indicating that he was not sure about renewing the contract.
