The meet-and-greet session lasted for more than 40 minutes before it ended with Yuan Zhou preparing the ingredients for dinner.
Zhou Jia bade farewell to Hu Ti and left. Yuan Zhou looked at their backs and said, "This kid should be pretty good. He's steady, mature, and handsome. Of course, he's not as good as me, but he's still a motivated lad."
"I don't think Zhou Jia will endure hardship." Yuan Zhou concluded with the mentality of an old father. Only then did he return to his room on the second floor to change his clothes. He put on the narrow-sleeved casual clothes that were easier to move about.
Recently, there were people ordering all-fish banquets every day. Of course, there was one table in the middle that no one showed up and he finished it himself.
While Yuan Zhou was preparing, Mr. Wei and his nemesis were having a friendly conversation.
Mr. Wei's nemesis was called Xie Hao. He was about the same age as Mr. Wei, 42 years old this year. He was in the prime of his life. Coupled with his promotion today, he was riding on the crest of success.
The news from the HR department had been out for two days. Although there was no official appointment yet, many people from the same department came to congratulate him every day.
Xie Hao would greet everyone who came over with a smile. But when someone came over, Xie Hao's face immediately turned gloomy.
"Congratulations, Xie Hao. I didn't expect you to be promoted with your ability and efficiency. Chairman Liu is really a philanthropist." Mr. Wei was no longer just being sarcastic. He was openly rebuking Xie Hao.
"Congratulations to you too. I heard from the HR department that you were one of the candidates for the general manager position," Xie Hao said.
Xie Hao was not someone who was easy to deal with. He immediately retorted, "But I'm sorry. I didn't expect an incompetent person like me to beat a capable person like you."
"An incompetent person won't go far if he gets lucky. Oh right, remember to check your almanac when you go out in the future. After all, you've used up most of your luck for the rest of your life," Mr. Wei said.
"You don't have to worry about it. The company's secretariat will take care of these matters in the future," Xie Hao said.
Mr. Wei and Xie Hao were always at loggerheads with each other. Everyone in the company was used to it. Moreover, it was not a matter of persuading them. It was better to stay away from them. It would be terrible if they were implicated.
When the two of them were at their most heated, Mr. Wei suddenly burst into laughter. "Xie Hao, you're still as sharp-tongued as ever. Now that you've been promoted, I have to express my gratitude. I've booked an all-fish banquet for you in Yuanzhou shop as a celebration."
Xie Hao was indeed eloquent. He had never lost to Mr. Wei before. However, Mr. Wei's words made Xie Hao hesitate.
"You prepared a banquet for me to celebrate my promotion?" Xie Hao looked at Mr. Wei suspiciously.
"Of course. It's still your favorite all-fish banquet." Mr. Wei nodded and said naturally.
"I believe you have never eaten the All-Fish Banquet in Yuan Zhou's restaurant before. Let's go there tonight and have a try," Mr. Wei said with a smile.
"Hao" with, "Liu" is. and the Hao and Yu is. "Chen," Hao].
Xie Hao did not like to eat all-fish banquets.
Xie Hao did not like to eat all-fish banquets. Furthermore, there were not many restaurants that could make an authentic all-fish banquet. He loved fish, especially freshwater fish. Most people in the company knew about this.
Xie Hao's first reaction to Mr. Wei treating him to a meal was that the food must be disgusting. However, he soon realized that it was impossible.
Xie Hao knew about the reputation of Yuanzhou shop. It was a famous restaurant in Sichuan Province and had a lot of good reviews on the internet. Although he had never been there, he was sure the food would not be disgusting.
"Yuanzhou shop? Which Yuanzhou shop are you referring to?" Xie Hao asked cautiously.
Xie Hao was trying to prevent accidents from happening between Li Gui and Li Kui.
"How many Yuanzhou shops are there in China, not to mention Chengdu?" Mr. Wei asked.
There was no way he could lie in front of all his colleagues. Otherwise, it would be too low-class. Xie Hao stared at Mr. Wei with a face full of doubt.
Mr. Wei was very honest. "Why? Don't tell me you, the soon-to-be general manager of the branch company, are not going to give me face just because of your promotion? "
The more honest Mr. Wei was, the more fearful Xie Hao felt. It was not an exaggeration to say that if possible, Xie Hao believed that Mr. Wei would kick him out of the company without any hesitation.
It was not an exaggeration to say that Mr. Wei and Xie Hao were arch-enemies. Moreover, arch-enemies like them did not have any feelings for each other. They were the type that could not wait to beat each other to death.
However, Xie Hao still agreed when he saw Mr. Wei's teasing gaze.
"What time is the all-fish banquet?" Xie Hao asked.
Mr. Wei answered patiently, "Yuanzhou shop. You can't book a reservation in advance. The reservation only means that you can order the all-fish banquet when you are in the queue."
"That's why we have to line up to get a number. If I can help, I will. However, you have to be there in person," Mr. Wei continued.
Xie Hao had heard about this on the internet, so he did not have much to say. But since when did Mr. Wei become so nice? Why did he explain it so seriously?
After Mr. Wei finished speaking, he left with a smile and went about his own business.
Back at Yuanzhou shop, dinner was about to start. Right now, there was something going on at Yuanzhou shop.
"Boss Yuan, Boss Yuan, what do you think of Teacher Xin's invention?" a customer, who was also a reporter, asked as he lined up.
It was normal for there to be reporters at the entrance of the restaurant. What was unusual was that the first question he asked was Teacher Xin.
Teacher Xin's invention? What invention? Who was Teacher Xin? Yuan Zhou looked at the reporter expressionlessly and prepared to ask. However, before he could ask, another reporter who wasn't lining up around the restaurant opened his mouth impatiently.
"Teacher Xin said in the interview that the invention came from you. What do you think of this?" This reporter was very professional. He took out his voice recorder and asked.
Alright. Although Yuan Zhou felt that Teacher Xin had a good eye, he still had no idea who this Teacher Xin was. With a dumbfounded expression, he looked at the two reporters indifferently.
Yuan Zhou was prepared to deal with all changes by staying the same.
Finally, after listening to the two reporters talk about something else, the smart and quick-witted Yuan Zhou finally understood who the reporter was talking about.
It was the guy who came to the restaurant previously and made a chopstick that could be used twice. That guy was criticized by Wuhai as a useless invention. His name was Xin Kui.
This time, it was Xin Kui who invented an illogical mechanical pet dog. Not only did Xin Kui win the nation's highest technology award, but he also won a gold medal at the Geneva Invention Exhibition in Switzerland.
This was the reason why these two reporters came to interview Yuan Zhou. Xin Kui had won glory for the country. In his acceptance speech, he clearly said that his inspiration came from Yuan Zhou …
