On the way, Ou Yangxin did some simple calculations for Li Rui, "These few days, the hotel has collected more than 5,000 catties of wild vegetables. Let's count it as 5,000 catties. After each catty of wild vegetables is blanched and seasoned, you can get a plate of 'seasonal wild vegetables'. The price is 42 RMB, so let's count it as 40 RMB. 5,000 multiplied by 40 is 200,000 RMB. This 200,000 RMB is the gross income. After deducting the cost, transportation, cleaning, other food, tax, and other expenses, there will be 50% net profit. In other words, in just a few days, I have already earned 100,000 RMB through the wild vegetables project. If I have my own vegetable cleaning assembly line, the cost can be reduced and the income can be increased by at least 10%. This is only the profit from the hotel's own digestion. If the wild vegetables are roughly processed and sold to other hotels and restaurants, the income will be even more impressive. "
When Li Rui heard that a plate of 'seasonal wild vegetables' was priced at 42 RMB, his first reaction was, "That's too much." But after thinking about it, whether a dish was expensive or not depended on where it was sold. If it was sold in a small roadside restaurant, people would think that it was too expensive for 22 RMB. But if it was sold in a five-star hotel like Shengjing, maybe the diners would think that it was too cheap. This was the problem of different levels of consumption. Moreover, wild vegetables were nutritious, difficult to acquire, and expensive. They were considered rare, so it was understandable to set such a high price. It was just like how firewood eggs were priced higher than normal eggs. He nodded and said, "I haven't contacted Director Wang Yaocai of the Municipal Poverty Alleviation Office this week. I'll find some time to look for him next week and settle the wild vegetable processing plant for you as soon as possible."
Ou Yangxin frowned and said, "I think I understand what you mean. You still want me to use this wild vegetable project as a poverty alleviation project. Then you can apply for a poverty alleviation project from the Municipal Poverty Alleviation Office. After the project is approved, the Municipal Poverty Alleviation Office will allocate the project funds to me. With the funds, I can set up a processing plant, right?"
Li Rui smiled and shook his head. He corrected her and said, "It's not under the name of poverty alleviation. It's because your project is already poverty alleviation. When you go to the villages in the mountainous areas to buy wild vegetables, you are actually giving the villagers a chance to earn money to get out of poverty. The wild vegetables are not for free, right? Are you giving them money? This was actually a disguised form of poverty alleviation, and it was even more effective than traditional poverty alleviation programs. Ouyang, you are helping the poor. You are doing a good deed, a good deed! "
Ou Yangxin slowly nodded and said, "I don't know much about poverty alleviation, so don't lie to me. However, if I can help the poor while running this project and help the poor villagers earn some money, I'm still very happy to do it. "
As the two of them were talking, they had already arrived at the basement level. They found Ou Yangxin's Mercedes-Benz and got into the car. The beautiful general manager drove them slowly to the surface.
"Oh, by the way, did I tell you that a second five-star hotel is about to appear in Qingyang City? Is this bad news for you …"
Li Rui had a loose tongue and told Ouyang Xin about Song Chaoyang's plan to "introduce a five-star hotel" and the latest progress in the "five-one project".
Ou Yangxin's face changed greatly after hearing this. She suddenly turned the steering wheel, drove the car to the side of the road, and stepped on the brake.
Without making any strange noise, the Mercedes-Benz's body trembled slightly before coming to a stop on the side of the road.
"Are you serious? Are you kidding me?"
Ou Yangxin asked Li Rui with a serious face. She was so surprised that her mouth opened.
Li Rui saw her overreaction and began to regret mentioning this matter. However, it was impossible to deny it at this time. He could only brace himself and nodded. "It's true. Why … why are you so nervous? Will this matter affect Shengjing greatly? " Ou Yangxin's face was livid. "It's more than great. It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that it's a disaster, but it's definitely a serious injury. I suddenly regret giving you food just now. Hmph, I was kind enough to let you taste it, but you actually stabbed me in the back. " Li Rui was ashamed and muttered, "How is it a stab? Song Chaoji didn't deliberately target Shengjing or you. He just … just wanted to make political achievements." Ou Yangxin said angrily, "How is it not a stab? He deliberately increased my competitors and occupied the small five-star hotel market in Qingyang City. Isn't this a stab? He almost stabbed me to death! "
Li Rui saw that she was angry and asked cautiously, "Is it so exaggerated? If there is one more five-star hotel in the city, Shengjing's business will naturally not be as prosperous as before. However, you have been operating in Qingyang City for several years and have accumulated a good reputation. You are well-known and widely recognized. The location is also good. It's difficult for the newcomer to threaten you in a short time. "
Ou Yangxin just stared at him without saying a word. Her beautiful eyes emitted a faint light.
Li Rui asked softly, "Are you angry?" Ou Yangxin suddenly raised her hand and gently hit his arm. She said angrily, "You are so annoying. You said that you like me. If you like me, why did you watch your boss stab me? Why didn't you stop him for me? Do you want to see your confidante make a fool of herself? " Li Rui was angered by her outburst, but instead of being angry, he was happy. He understood that she was not angry, but a little depressed. He took her hand and said softly, "I was really thinking about you at that time, and I really wanted to help you dissuade him, but as his secretary, how could I dare to disobey his wishes? But you can rest assured that I will use all my power to take care of Shengjing's business and do my best to maintain its prosperity. As for the new five-star hotel, let it die. I will not take care of it no matter what. "
Ou Yangxin certainly understood that the decision made by Song Chaoyang, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, could not be dissuaded even by the mayor, let alone Li Rui. The reason why she blamed Li Rui for not helping to stop Song Chaoyang was just to vent her anger. Now that she heard his words, she said angrily, "Don't make it sound nice now. When the five-star hotel opens and sends you an invitation, you will run over with a smile." Li Rui shouted, "How can that be? I said that I will not take care of its business, so I won't take care of it … "Ou Yangxin interrupted," What if the general manager is a great beauty who is more beautiful than me? " Li Rui stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing. After laughing he said, "You look down on me too much. Am I the kind of person who forgets friends when seeing a girl?" Ou Yangxin sighed and said, "Ai, that's hard to say."
After saying this, she calmed down and drove again.
Li Rui said, "Don't take it to heart. Although you are the general manager of the hotel and need to be responsible for the performance, when the market changes, it will not change according to your will. You can only resign yourself to it. I believe that your boss will understand this. You just need to do a good job and be worthy of yourself and the company. You don't need to have high expectations for yourself. " Ou Yangxin nodded and said, "I know. I have thought it through. I can't do anything about it. I can only resign myself to it. I don't want to think about it now. I am thinking … "Li Rui heard that she wanted to say something but stopped. He could not help but say," What are you thinking about? "Ou Yangxin said fiercely," I want to bite you! My good mood for the whole night has been ruined by the bad news you told me. "
Li Rui smiled and raised his left hand to her mouth. Ou Yangxin freed her right hand and slapped his hand away. She said angrily, "Your hands are dirty. Who knows if you went to the bathroom before? Did you wash your hands after you did it? "Li Rui smiled and said," Don't worry. Even if I did it, I won't use my left hand. "Ou Yangxin blushed and said," You bad guy. Anyway, your hands are dirty. "Li Rui took back his hand and said," Then where are you going to bite me? Is my mouth okay? It is very clean. It smells like wine and tea. "Ou Yangxin said shyly and resentfully," You wish! I will bite you, not kiss you. "Li Rui smiled and said," You can just bite and not kiss. "Ou Yangxin held back her laughter and said," That can't be done. I am driving. It is not convenient. "
The two laughed and joked. The car had already reached the west gate of Li Rui's neighborhood. Ou Yangxin stopped by the side.
The two looked at each other. Li Rui said, "I will get off now. Drive slowly." Ou Yangxin snorted, "But I haven't bitten you yet." Li Rui didn't want to play around with her in his neighborhood. If they were seen by someone he knew, he would be in trouble, so he smiled and said, "Let's do it another day, okay? Just consider it as me owing you first." Ou Yangxin said, "No, I'll forget about it another day. Forget it, I'll just bite your hand.
Li Rui was amused. He thought that women were so fickle. Just a moment ago, she was complaining that his hands were dirty, but now, it didn't matter anymore. He didn't know what was wrong with his words, so he reached out his left hand and put it beside her mouth. Ou Yangxin didn't hold back at all. She opened her mouth and gently bit the edge of his palm. She quickly let go of his hand. Li Rui's heart was shaken by her bite. He flipped his left hand and pinched her snow-white chin. With a light twist, he turned her to face him. Then, without hesitation, he leaned over and kissed her hard on the lips.
"Oh!"
Ou Yangxin only had time to let out a nasal sound before she was kissed. In the next second, she subconsciously closed her eyes.
Luckily Li Rui knew his limits. He only kissed her lips and quickly let go of her. He smiled and said, "I turned your good mood into bad mood. Now I am responsible for turning your good mood back. You won't blame me right?" Ou Yangxin opened her beautiful eyes and stared at him. She couldn't say a word.
Li Rui smiled at her and waved his hand. He opened the door and got off.
