"Yes! It's all done! " Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "From now on, we'll have regular handovers. This won't happen again."
"It's not that serious. It's not a big deal if the winery closes. Although the winery makes money, I still prefer to develop the restaurant business!" Ling Xiaotian laughed and said, "Of course, it's also because of the rich profits from the winery. Otherwise, the expansion of Lingji Restaurant wouldn't have been so smooth this year."
"Don't worry, Uncle Ling. I'll take care of the winery." Xia Ruofei said, "But Qingxue … She wants to gradually separate herself from the company's affairs. What do you think …"
Ling Xiaotian glanced at Ling Qingxue, sighed and said, "Qingxue has told me several times … I was too stubborn in the past. I wanted to train her to be my successor. At first, I wanted her to take over my father's business, but she didn't have any talent in cooking. Later, I thought that even if she couldn't be a chef, she could at least manage the restaurant group, right? But she still wasn't happy doing it. Forget it! A forcibly picked melon isn't sweet. I won't force it in the future. It's just a pity that I've worked so hard to build this business … "
Ling Qingxue's eyes showed a hint of joy, and she quickly said, "Dad! You're still young and strong. You can still be at the helm for many years! And even if you want to retire, you can totally hand over the company to a professional management team! The business will still be there! As for your cooking skills, you already have so many apprentices. Are you afraid that your cooking skills won't be passed down? "
Ling Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said, "Girl, you're determined to leave Lingji Restaurant Group! You have so many reasons for your actions … "
Ling Qingxue felt a little guilty, but she couldn't explain the reason to Ling Xiaotian. She could only lower her head and say, "Dad! I just want to live happily with Ruofei now. I really don't want to be busy every day … "
Ling Xiaotian joked, "Ruofei has to manage such a big company himself. How can he accompany you all day? At that time, he'll be busy with his career every day, but you'll have nothing to do. Wouldn't you feel even more empty? "
"Ruofei is also preparing to leave the company. Our dream is to travel around the world!" Ling Qingxue giggled.
Ling Xiaotian opened her eyes wide, looked at Xia Ruofei and asked, "Ruofei, is what Qingxue said true? Are you kidding me? "
Xia Ruofei was only in his twenties. It was not easy for him to start a business like this. Normally, he would have devoted all his efforts to the company. Even if he retired at the top of his career, he was still too young!
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "I do have this idea, but I can't quit completely. I just said that I'll hand over the company's daily affairs to the professional team. I basically won't care about the company's affairs."
Ling Xiaotian came back to her senses after a while and said with emotion, "I'm an old man in my fifties and sixties, and I don't even dare to dream of retiring. You're already in your twenties, and you're already living a retired life. This … this is simply unreasonable!"
"Uncle Ling, everyone pursues different things. I'm not that ambitious in my career. I'm sorry for making a fool of myself," Xia Ruofei said.
Ling Xiaotian waved her hand and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions. There's nothing to joke about. To be honest, I'm quite envious of your life! "
Then, Ling Xiaotian said, "Okay! Qingxue, during this period of time, hand over your work. Just … hand it over to Vice President Guo! He'll be in charge of the work that you're in charge of for this period of time. "
"Okay! Thank you, Dad! "Ling Qingxue said happily.
Ling Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said, "If other vice presidents were stripped of their power, they would definitely feel like they were struck by lightning. Only you would be so happy …"
"I'm your daughter!" Ling Qingxue said coquettishly. "Whether I'm a vice president or not, I'm still the little princess of Ling's Restaurant."
"How can you say that about yourself?" Xia Ruofei couldn't help but laugh. "Little princess … Haha!"
"That's none of your business!" Ling Qingxue glared at Xia Ruofei coquettishly.
Since Ling Xiaotian had relented, Ling Qingxue was naturally in a very good mood. She even made an exception and allowed Ling Xiaotian to drink a few more glasses of wine. She also poured herself a glass of white wine and drank with Ling Xiaotian.
Naturally, Xia Ruofei also happily drank a cup with him. The three of them finished their dinner in a very relaxed atmosphere.
After sitting in Ling Xiaotian's house for a while, Xia Ruofei got up and said goodbye.
Ling Xiaotian even jokingly asked Ling Qingxue if she wanted to go with Xia Ruofei. Ling Qingxue couldn't help but roll her eyes at her father. Then she ran directly to the boudoir on the second floor.
Xia Ruofei waved goodbye to Ling Xiaotian and left the Ling family's house. He walked to his own villa not far away.
On the way, he kept thinking that it seemed that he had to make arrangements for the Taoyuan Company as soon as possible.
Therefore, he took out his mobile phone and called Li Yifu. Because of the time difference, it was still morning in Taoyuan Island, so the phone was quickly connected.
"Granduncle!" Li Yifu greeted him respectfully.
"Yifu, have you contacted Zheng Yongshou? When will he arrive? "Xia Ruofei asked.
"Granduncle, I've sent a plane to the airport near the Star Picking Sect to pick up Zheng Yongshou. If everything goes well, he should arrive at the Three Mountains tonight … tomorrow morning at the latest." Li Yifu hurriedly said, "Everything has been arranged at the Three Mountains. After he arrives, he will settle down first and then familiarize himself with the secular world with the people of our branch company."
Xia Ruofei said, "We'll talk about that later. Tell him to contact me as soon as he arrives. I have something for him to do."
"Yes, Granduncle!" Li Yifu hurriedly said.
…
The next morning, Xia Ruofei received a call from an unknown number. After he picked it up, he said calmly, "Hello, who is this?"
"Mr. Xia, it's Zheng Yongshou!" Zheng Yongshou's respectful voice came from the phone. "I've arrived at the Three Mountains. What can I do for you?"
Xia Ruofei thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it when we meet! By the way, did Yifu arrange for someone to take care of you? "
"Yes, Chief Zheng is with me," Zheng Yongshou said. "This is Chief Zheng's phone number. I haven't had time to get a phone yet! Mr. Li said you were looking for me urgently, so I called you as soon as I got off the plane. "
Xia Ruofei naturally knew that there must be someone else with Zheng Yongshou. Otherwise, Zheng Yongshou would have called him "Master" instead of "Mr. Xia".
Xia Ruofei said, "Then you should buy a phone and get a number … Forget it, give the phone to Chief Zheng! I'll talk to him. "
"Okay, Mr. Xia!" Zheng Yongshou said.
Then, a calmer voice came from the phone. "Hello, Boss Xia. I'm Zheng Yi. Mr. Li personally instructed us to listen to your orders."
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Oh! Chief Zheng, it's like this … This Zheng Yongshou of yours lives in the mountains most of the time, so he doesn't know much about modern society. I'll have to trouble you to take care of him during this period. Right now, I have some things to ask of him. Please take him to buy a phone and get a number. Then, help him download a WeChat account and add me as a friend … "
Zheng Yi quickly said, "Okay! These are all trivial matters. I've already prepared a phone and everything. Mr. Zheng's accommodation is also arranged. It's not far from the Jiangbin Villa District. I'll add you on WeChat for him now. "
"You're very considerate!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Chief Zheng. I'll send you my location later. Please send Zheng Yongshou over first."
"You're welcome! It's nothing! "Zheng Yi said quickly." Please wait a moment! "
Soon, Zheng Yi helped Zheng Yongshou apply for a WeChat account and immediately added Xia Ruofei as a friend.
After Xia Ruofei accepted, he sent his location directly.
In fact, from Zheng Yi's words just now, Xia Ruofei knew that even if he didn't send his location, Zheng Yi already knew where he lived. Zheng Yongshou's accommodation was near the villa, which meant that Li Yifu must have told Zheng Yi in advance.
However, Xia Ruofei added Zheng Yongshou's WeChat not only to send his location, but also to make it easier to contact him in the future.
After Xia Ruofei sent his location, he waited for about an hour at home. Then, he heard the sound of the intercom system ringing. After Xia Ruofei pressed the confirm button, he saw the security guard at the entrance of the villa district standing in front of the camera and saluting to the camera. He then said respectfully, "Mr. Xia, there are two Mr. Zheng at the entrance. They said they're looking for you."
After that, the security guard moved aside. Xia Ruofei saw Zheng Yongshou and another middle-aged man standing in front of the camera through the screen. Xia Ruofei knew that this should be Zheng Yi.
So, he said, "They're my friends. Let them in! Please show them the way! "
"Okay, Mr. Xia!" the security guard quickly said.
After a while, Xia Ruofei heard the doorbell ring. Zheng Yi had already driven Zheng Yongshou to the entrance of the villa.
Xia Ruofei remotely opened the courtyard door of the villa, and at the same time, he went out to greet them.
Zheng Yi didn't drive the car in. Instead, he directly parked the car in the parking space at the entrance. When he and Zheng Yongshou saw Xia Ruofei appear in the courtyard, they quickly trotted over.
"Mr. Xia!" The two of them called out in unison, and their attitudes were very respectful.
Xia Ruofei first nodded to Zheng Yongshou, then smiled at Zheng Yi and said, "This must be Mr. Zheng! I'll have to trouble you in the future. "
"You're too polite!" Zheng Yi quickly said, "This is my job."
In fact, when they returned to the city from the airport, Zheng Yi had asked around and found that Zheng Yongshou did seem to be the kind of person who lived in the mountains and forests all year round. He seemed to be very uncomfortable with modern society. It was quite troublesome for him to take Zheng Yongshou to slowly adapt to modern life these days.
However, this was an order given by Li Yifu directly to him, and it was very serious. It could be seen that this matter was important, so even if it was troublesome, he didn't dare to complain.
As for Xia Ruofei, in Zheng Yi's eyes, he was even more mysterious.
In fact, Li Yifu had set up a very high-level internal branch in the three mountains so that they could serve Xia Ruofei at any time. Zheng Yi was specially transferred from the United States by Li Yifu this year. He was Li Yifu's absolute confidant, so he more or less knew some of the inside story. He was also secretly speechless about Xia Ruofei's position in Li Yifu's heart.
However, he knew very well that no matter how respectful he was to Xia Ruofei, it would not be too much.
After Zheng Yi finished speaking, he immediately said tactfully, "Mr. Xia, Mr. Zheng, you guys take your time talking. I'll wait in the car!"
He was a dignified figure at the level of a regional president, but today he was completely the role of a driver and assistant. However, he didn't dare to complain at all.
"Mr. Zheng, come in and sit with us for a while!" Xia Ruofei greeted him.
"No, no!" Zheng Yi quickly said. "Mr. Xia, I'm going to the car to answer a few more important emails, so I won't be coming in."
"Okay then! I hope you don't mind if I don't treat you well, "Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't dare! "Zheng Yi said." You're too serious … "
Xia Ruofei brought Zheng Yongshou to the villa's living room.
There were no outsiders here, so Zheng Yongshou's attitude was naturally more respectful. As soon as he entered the villa, he quickly bowed and said, "Master! Because there were outsiders here just now, I've offended you … "
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "In the future, just call me 'Mr. Xia.' Don't call me 'Master, Master.' It's awkward when I hear it."
"This …"
"This is an order. Just follow it!" Xia Ruofei said.
"Yes! Mas … Mr. Xia! "Zheng Yongshou said quickly.
Xia Ruofei sat down on the sofa and gestured to Zheng Yongshou. Only then did Zheng Yongshou dare to sit down on the opposite sofa. However, it was only half of his butt, and he didn't sit down at all.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "I called you here this time because I have a task for you. This is a long-term task. It will more or less affect your cultivation progress, but I'll find a way to compensate you."
Zheng Yongshou quickly said, "Mr. Xia, if you have any orders, just tell me directly. I won't have any complaints!"
Xia Ruofei naturally knew the use of the soul seal, so he didn't hold back. He nodded and said, "Okay! Then let me tell you about your task! If one were to say that this matter was simple, it would be very simple. At least, it would be simpler than cultivation. However, if one were to say that it was complicated … It seems quite complicated, mainly because it's very tedious. You have to be mentally prepared … "
After Xia Ruofei finished speaking, he explained his idea to Zheng Yongshou one by one.
In fact, what Xia Ruofei needed was the role of a liaison. Zheng Yongshou needed to regularly hand over new wine and aging wine to the winery. He also needed to regularly provide Chinese medicinal materials to the pharmaceutical factory. He also needed to regularly go to Taoyuan Farm to inject the solution of spirit flower petals into the water source. In addition, when the Taoyuan Company needed to auction the best quality truffles and abalones, and when they needed to provide caterpillar fungus to the pharmacies according to the contract, Zheng Yongshou would also need to represent Xia Ruofei to provide these products to the Taoyuan Company.
After hearing this, Zheng Yongshou said without hesitation, "Mr. Xia, I'll remember it! Please rest assured that I'll do my best, and I won't let you down! "
