Compared with the past few years, the content of life in Beijing in 1985 has become quite rich.

But at the same time, people's desires and anger also increased.

So in such a special time period, even Ning Weimin's cronies.

Even those whose living standards and income levels are far ahead of the times with his help.

There is still a certain amount of doubt and confusion in the heart, and many people show their hesitation about life.

No one else is talking about it, but Ning Weimin's two right-hand men at Tan Gong Restaurant are like this.

At noon that day, Du Yang and his buddy Pan Long were drinking at his home.

One of them is the person in charge of Beishen Kitchen, and the other is a backbone executive at the executive level. Of course, the two of them talked about things in the restaurant.

I was quite happy at first.

Because not only did they get their wish this year, they took charge of the Northern Chef and had all the power related to the banquet.

Moreover, after opening, Beishen Kitchen’s profits have also been quite good.

Even though it only started business in September last year, it has only been five months.

But when it first opened, it hosted several highly influential and high-standard banquets, and even made several TV news appearances.

Beishen Chef Banquet Department quickly became famous and became one of the first choices for foreign-related institutions and enterprises in Beijing to host banquets.

This not only made the reputation of Tan Gong Restaurant completely surpass that of the other two palace dishes, but also brought great economic benefits.

Nowadays, Beishen Chef's banquet bookings are almost continuous, and its monthly profit is at least 200,000 yuan, which has stabilized the two-story building in Beimen.

This is certainly something they should be very proud of.

But just because Ning Weimin was recently transferred to Pierre Cardin's head office, he doesn't seem to be too concerned about the management of Tan Gong Restaurant.

Anxieties and worries about the future cannot help but arise in their minds.

"Brother Du, do you think we have seized the opportunity?"

Pan Long suddenly said this, and after speaking, he looked up at Du Yang.

Du Yang heard something behind the words and couldn't help but frowned, "I don't understand what you mean. Just say it."

Pan Long showed a wry smile, "Brother Du, you are just pretending to be confused because you understand. How about asking a different question, how long do you think we can control Northern Chef? Will Mr. Ning treat us as human beings in the future? Wait for this

After Bian's business is stabilized, will Mr. Ning completely hand over the power of the entire restaurant to Manager Zhang?"

Du Yang couldn't help shouting excitedly because of the explicitness of these words, "Xiao Pan! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Then he suppressed it for a while and lowered his voice again.

"Why do you think so? It's a baseless thing, don't think about it yourself..."

However, Pan Long still insisted on his opinion and continued to talk regardless of whether he liked to hear it or not.

"Brother Du, I can't deny what you said to me. After all, I really have no actual evidence. And so far, Mr. Ning has been very kind to us and has never said anything unreasonable. Even if I am guilty in private,

Take Mr. Ning to the ground and kill the donkey, and let the birds use their bows to hide their thoughts. But the problem is as the old saying goes, if you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries. We have to be careful."

"If nothing else, don't you always tell me that nepotism is inevitable. Just like us, if you have a cake, you have to eat it together. Then you can't turn a blind eye to the relationship between Mr. Ning and Manager Zhang, right? It must be the same for others.

, Mr. Ning eats the cream at the top, and Manager Zhang eats the dregs at the bottom. So there is a possibility after all."

"Yes, we are very prosperous now, and Beishen Kitchen has become our territory. But haven't you noticed that Mr. Ning always arranges good jobs for Manager Zhang? Why does Mr. Ning let Manager Zhang take charge of the small building?

With FITs, that’s because his wife has given birth to a child, which reduces Manager Zhang’s work burden and helps him take care of his family. On the other hand, what about us? We are always doing the hard work of charging ahead, taking advantage of the wind and snow, and fighting tough battles.”

"I'm thinking that if Mr. Ning still comes to work in our Tan Palace every day like in the past, and he sees how much work we do, the situation may be better. After all, there is still hard work without credit.

Mr. Ning is a man who cares about face and reputation. At least he is fair in dealing with things on the surface. But if things are like this now and we can't see Mr. Ning for twenty days a month, that's a big deal."

"Because if Mr. Ning is really promoted, he will definitely move to the Pierre Cardon head office in the future. Since he doesn't come to the altar palace often, naturally he can't divide the east palace and the west palace forever. There must be a boss.

People, manage it for him. God knows at this critical moment, whether he would rather appoint people on merit or on nepotism. Just be afraid, we seem to have the upper hand now. In the end, with one word from Mr. Ning, Manager Zhang suddenly became the top leader of the entire altar palace.

, then we can..."

"Also, you should also know that Mr. Ning has been thinking about opening a branch in Japan recently. And he has sent several chefs to Maxim to exchange cooking techniques. Now I am very suspicious that this so-called Japanese branch is

In order to deal with the place where you and I are assigned, we will be asked to take the lead when the time comes. Should I go? It seems that going abroad is good, but it is so easy to get along if you are not familiar with the place. Besides, the credit for doing it well belongs to others.

If we do something wrong, we have to take responsibility. Once we hand over Beishen Chef, we will have nothing. If we want to come back, we can't help it..."

Du Yang didn't say anything. He picked up the glass and took one third of the white wine into his mouth.

He asked the question later, and his tone already contained a hint of self-destruction.

"Then what do you say we should do? You also know the situation of our restaurant. The three investors all listen to Mr. Ning. Whatever Mr. Ning says is what he says. We can only obey. And I am purely assigned from the service bureau.

, there is no one behind us to support us. We are just nobodies, what else can we do but let this happen?"

Unexpectedly, Pan Long was really prepared, "Brother Du, don't underestimate yourself. Now it's no better than it was in the first two years. There are more and more foreign-related hotels in Beijing. There is a shortage of people everywhere. To be honest with you,

I know a buddy who works at the Great Wall Hotel. He recently planned to switch jobs to the Changfu Palace Hotel, which is about to open this year.

He was the supervisor. He also suggested that I apply for the banquet department manager, saying that the Changfu Palace was about to open, and there was a shortage of experienced people. This is what I thought, if Mr. Ning had to pick peaches, the worst we could do was leave. Let’s go together.

Changfu Palace is fine. But no matter what, the income there is definitely not as high as that of Tan Palace, I'm afraid the difference is quite a bit. Do you mind about this?"

Du Yang thought seriously for a moment, then poured wine into his and Pan Long's glasses.

"Brother, thank you for worrying about me. This idea of ​​yours is the right way to go after all. Although the income here is not comparable to anywhere, I am afraid of being criticized when I work. How much is too much? How much is too little? Enough is enough.

That's it. And if we have to go to Changfu Palace, then even if we are the veteran of the business, we may not be able to go further. In fact, if we are really forced to do that, we have no other choice. The key is to see what Mr. Ning does. Come on,

Let’s do something and forget about these troublesome things first…”

When two glasses touch each other, one drink will relieve a thousand worries.

Interestingly, he is different from Du Yang, who is complacent and only worries about the difficulty of realizing his career ambitions.

Another important figure in Tan Palace has no awakening to "inherit the unification" at all.

At this time, he seemed a bit philistine and careless.

On New Year's Eve, Zhang Shihui was in the backyard of Huimin Cigarette Hotel, cursing and having a lawsuit on his forehead.

There is only one thing that I am busy with - putting a raincoat on the motorcycle.

If nothing else, the main reason is that he listened to Ning Weimin's arrangements.

Since last year, I have used the money I earned from the cigarette shop to buy more than 30 motorcycles one after another, and all of them have license plates.

But the more cars I buy, the more I buy them. I have no place to store them and I’m afraid of losing them.

He had no choice but to ask someone to rent some spare rooms in a primary school for 100 yuan a month to store his motorcycles.

As a result, another surprise at the beginning of the year was that in order to increase income, the school decided to establish a tertiary property and informed him that the house would no longer be rented.

They said they would take back the warehouse at the end of January and set up a small polypropylene factory.

So Zhang Shihui had no choice but to put these motorcycles in the backyard of his cigarette shop.

It just so happened that the end of the year was the busiest time for the tobacco and alcohol business, and the weather was unfavorable and it snowed on New Year's Eve, so it was impossible to free up the house to store the car.

These motorcycles are all new and have barely traveled 30 kilometers. Of course, Zhang Shihui couldn't bear to just leave them in the open air.

After much deliberation, on New Year's Eve, I reluctantly moved a few motorcycles into the reception room where guests were entertained.

After that, he drove to the store and spent thousands of yuan to buy dozens of large-sized rubber raincoats for temporary emergency use.

Good guy, you can imagine how spectacular this courtyard is.

Not counting the motorcycles parked all over the yard, and each car was covered with a rubber raincoat. It was really a rare sight.

And the work is tiring.

A rubber raincoat weighed at least twenty pounds, and the motorcycle had to be moved and rearranged.

It was a cold day with snowflakes still falling. Even with the help of Sister Tan, Zhang Shihui was sweating all over.

It was already past noon, and half of the cars were still without raincoats.

If Zhang Shihui can't finish her work, she won't be able to go back to spend time with her wife and see her son. Can she feel better now?

In addition, Ning Weimin did not play with him when he was speculating for stamps.

However, Zhang Shihui was unwilling to give in and secretly invested 10,000 yuan in Tongteng stamps. As a result, he has lost more than half of his money so far.

One can imagine how bad his mood was on New Year's Eve this year.

No, just working and complaining at the same time.

He kept complaining that he shouldn't have listened to Ning Weimin's instructions, and kept complaining that he had lost money buying these motorcycles.

Now not only is it all trouble, but it also costs so much extra money.

Especially motorcycles now have more manufacturers and brands, and the prices have also dropped. It seems that this is a loss-making business...

To put it bluntly, Zhang Shihui just wanted to get some relief from Sister Tan's agreement.

Unfortunately, the actual situation is exactly the opposite.

Sister Tan, who he thought should be able to sympathize with him, actually sang the opposite tune with a smile on her face.
To be continued...
