Xia Ruofei's spirits were lifted when he heard that. He said in surprise, "It's done so quickly? Isn't it troublesome to import live animals? "
Old Blake smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, don't worry. The Blake family will take care of all the procedures. You just need to wait for the goods to be delivered. We can deliver them to any port in Huaxia. Just tell us what you need!"
"That's great! Thank you very much, Mr. Blake! " Xia Ruofei said. "By the way, the truffles for you may need one or two days to prepare. Please be patient!"
"Wow! That's much more efficient than I thought! Mr. Xia, I'll ask my family to send the truffles back first. I'll be in Hong Kong, waiting for your good news! "Old Blake said happily.
“OK！” Xia Ruofei said. "I'll send you an address later. Please take care of the baby geese!"
"No problem at all!" Old Blake said.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Ruofei thought for a while and decided to receive the baby geese at Sanshan Airport. He sent a text message to Old Blake.
Then Xia Ruofei called Pang Hao. He wanted to ask him to have dinner together, but he was sweeping the streets with Feng Jing and the others. As the only two men in the team, Feng Jing and the others couldn't order Xia Ruofei around, so he took on the glorious task of carrying their bags.
His subordinates weren't in the hotel, so Xia Ruofei decided to order dinner in the Presidential Suite.
Just as he was looking at the menu, Tony, the butler of the Presidential Suite, knocked on the door and came in. He bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Xia, Mr. Bastien and Ms. Cheng Xiaoxiao are asking to see you. They said they know you."
Xia Ruofei knew that Bastien must be thinking about the truffles. If he remembered correctly, the western restaurant chain around the corner almost didn't get anything at the auction.
So he nodded and said, "Yes, let them in!"
"Understood!" Tony bowed and turned to walk out.
"Wait!" Xia Ruofei stopped Tony. "Tony, help me prepare three sets of meals and send them here directly!"
"Okay!" Tony said.
After a while, Tony led Bastien and Cheng Xiaoxiao in. Both of them were shocked by the luxurious presidential suite, and they looked a little reserved.
Sitting on the couch in the spacious living room, Xia Ruofei chuckled, "Mr. Bastien, Xiaoxiao, please take a seat!"
Bastien came back to his senses.
The two of them sat down across from Xia Ruofei. Bastien said, "Mr. Xia, congratulations. The auction was a great success!"
"Thank you!" Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Mr. Bastien, don't worry. I will definitely prepare the truffle that I promised you. Do you want to trade it in Hong Kong or in the Three Mountains?"
Bastien immediately perked up and said, "We can all do it! Let's see how Mr. Xia handles it! "
"Both are convenient. I'm going to trade a batch of truffles with the Black family in Hong Kong in two days." Xia Ruofei said, "If you don't have any problems, we can trade it directly in Hong Kong, but you'll have to wait for a day or two!"
"Okay! Okay! " Bastien said quickly. "We'll stay at the Hengfeng Jiahua Hotel and wait for your news!"
At this auction, truffles were very popular. Even though Bastien had prepared well, he still didn't get anything. There were one or two truffles that he thought he could compete for, but in fact, he knew he couldn't get them as soon as he started bidding. The price had risen too quickly.
Therefore, Bastien pinned all his hopes on the truffles that Xia Ruofei promised. Although the company's headquarters didn't have much hope for this auction, if they really didn't get anything, they would be judged as incompetent. Then, it would be impossible for him to be promoted and transferred back to the headquarters.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei's words were tantamount to a reassuring pill for him.
Then, Bastien asked carefully, "Mr. Xia, may I ask how many truffles we can buy this time? Can you give me a rough number? I need to give the headquarters a reply and prepare the purchase funds in advance … "
Xia Ruofei estimated a little and said, "Ten to twenty kilograms! I guarantee ten kilograms! I'll prepare as much as I can for you, but it shouldn't be more than thirty kilograms. I don't know if this amount … "
"It's enough! It's enough! "Bastien said quickly." Mr. Xia, thank you so much! "
This amount had exceeded Bastien's expectations. Even if it was only ten kilograms, with the high quality truffles of the Taoyuan Company as always, Bastien would definitely have no problem reporting back. It could even be said that it was an unexpected surprise.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Mr. Bastien, you're too polite. It's business! It's a matter of mutual benefit. I'll also make money by selling it to you! Besides, Xiaoxiao is my hardcore fan, so we're not strangers. "
This was the second time Xia Ruofei had mentioned Cheng Xiaoxiao in front of Bastien. Bastien was a smart person, so how could he not understand?
He knew what he meant. He glanced at Cheng Xiaoxiao and said, "Mr. Xia, Cheng Xiaoxiao is a very excellent employee in our restaurant. She has done a very good job, so I've decided to promote her to be the restaurant's foreman when we go back this time!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao suddenly opened her mouth wide. She felt like she had been hit by a pie that fell from the sky.
The western restaurant around the corner was considered a high-end western restaurant in the three mountains, and the salary was higher than many five-star hotels. For Cheng Xiaoxiao, it was not easy to find such a job. Her only hope was to perform well and not be fired.
However, she didn't expect that because of Xia Ruofei's few words, not only did her job become more stable, but she also got the opportunity to be promoted.
There were a total of four foremen in the restaurant, and each foreman's salary was much higher than that of ordinary waiters. They would also receive a certain percentage of fluctuating rewards according to the restaurant's performance. The average monthly income was at least 20,000 yuan.
Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn't even believe her ears.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, why don't you thank Mr. Bastien?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and quickly stood up and said, "Thank you for your trust, Mr. Bastien! I'll work hard! "
Bastien smiled and said, "Cheng, this is the reward you deserve!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao naturally knew that she could be promoted so quickly because of Xia Ruofei, so she immediately said to Xia Ruofei, "Boss Xia, I don't know what to say … Thank you!"
"You're welcome." Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Do well at Corner Western Restaurant! Maybe after Bastien is transferred back, you can take over! "
Xia Ruofei said this to Cheng Xiaoxiao in Chinese, but Bastien could also understand some Chinese. Xia Ruofei's words moved his heart slightly, and he really understood.
If he left Huaxia, Corner Western Restaurant in the three mountains would need a new manager. Now it seemed that Cheng Xiaoxiao was really a good candidate.
It seems that I have to train Cheng well in the future. At least before I leave, I have to let her establish a certain prestige so that she can take over the position of manager in the future! Bastien reminded himself in his heart.
Xia Ruofei had already spoken. If he didn't take this to heart, he would offend a high-quality ingredient supplier for no reason, and the loss would outweigh the gain.
Through today's auction, Bastien had a new understanding of Xia Ruofei and the Taoyuan Company. The field of high-end ingredients was different from the field of ordinary supply. It was basically a seller's market. For a company like the Taoyuan Company, which had a rich product line and each product was the best that subverted the industry's standards, they would have a lot of say in the process of cooperation.
Using the position of restaurant manager in exchange for the friendship of the Taoyuan Company and Xia Ruofei was a sure-win deal.
Bastien even felt that if he reported to the headquarters in full detail, they might even directly appoint Cheng Xiaoxiao as the restaurant manager, and he might be transferred to another Western restaurant. After all, he had been away for too short a time, and it was unlikely that he would be transferred back immediately if there were no special circumstances.
Therefore, Bastien decided not to mention this to the headquarters for the time being. Instead, he focused on training Cheng Xiaoxiao in the following days.
Cheng Xiaoxiao naturally didn't know that so many thoughts were running through Bastien's mind. She only knew that Bastien could understand Chinese, so her face turned red. She quickly glanced at Bastien and said, "Boss Xia, I'm just an ordinary waiter. How can I be a manager?"
"Cheng, Mr. Xia thinks so highly of you. You can't belittle yourself!" Bastien took the initiative to say, "The manager of a Western restaurant is not a high-tech job. As long as you study hard and practice in the position of the foreman for a while, it's not impossible for you to be a manager."
Cheng Xiaoxiao quickly said, "Okay, Mr. Bastien. I will work hard and learn from the old staff!"
Bastien showed a kind smile and nodded slightly.
He usually had a serious look on his face, and his management was very strict, so the waiters in the restaurant were a little afraid of him.
Cheng Xiaoxiao felt that the Bastien she saw today was completely different from the manager she remembered.
Bastien then said, "Mr. Xia, we won't disturb you anymore …"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Mr. Bastien, don't be in a hurry to leave! I've already ordered three dishes. Why don't we have dinner together? "
Bastien said in surprise, "That's a great honor!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao felt like she was in a dream. She didn't expect to have dinner with her idol. She was so happy that she couldn't stop giggling.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "My friends have all gone shopping. It's boring to eat alone. You can talk to me!"
Soon, Tony came in with a waiter pushing a dining cart.
Cheng Xiaoxiao saw the waiter putting food on the long table next to the restaurant. She quickly asked, "Boss Xia, can I take a picture?"
"Take a picture?" Xia Ruofei was slightly stunned.
"Yes! I'm so happy today! " Cheng Xiaoxiao looked like a love-struck fool. "I want to take a picture of the presidential suite and our dinner. I want to post it on Tieba and make people jealous!"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but laugh. He waved his hand and said, "Take a picture! Take a picture as you wish! Let's take a picture together! "
"Really?" Cheng Xiaoxiao asked with her eyes wide open.
"How can it be fake? Come, come, come. I think the background is good. Let's take a picture together! "Xia Ruofei took the initiative to make arrangements.
He didn't feel itchy now. The Taoyuan Company was in the limelight this time. He knew that his popularity on the Internet would definitely increase. It didn't matter if Cheng Xiaoxiao posted a few more pictures.
"Coming!" Cheng Xiaoxiao quickly turned on the camera function on her phone and rushed to Xia Ruofei's side. She then raised her phone high and took a few pictures from an overhead angle.
Xia Ruofei also cooperated and revealed a bright smile.
"I'll take a picture of the presidential suite again …" Cheng Xiaoxiao said. "Let those bumpkins on Tieba see it!"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but laugh. He said to Bastien, "Mr. Bastien, let's go to the restaurant first! I don't think Xiaoxiao can finish it in a short time! "
"Haha! Okay, okay! "Bastien said with a smile." Mr. Xia, after you! "
