"Comrade Xiao Shen, our hospital has discussed with the higher-ups and feels that your restaurant has cooperated very well in this operation, so I would like to ask you if you are interested in continuing the cooperation?"
Continue cooperation?
Shen Anan was stunned.
"The higher-ups want to put up an official sign for your restaurant, 'Hecheng Hospital Chinese Medicine Clinic and Diet Therapy Center', to receive people who want to regulate their bodies or whose illnesses are not serious."
Several hospital leaders said this sincerely.
There’s nothing I can do!
Comrade Xiao Shen's diet therapy is really outstanding, and Hecheng is planning to vigorously promote traditional Chinese medicine.
Isn’t it true that medicinal herbs are now grown in the small ditch under Hecheng? Even the villages have benchmark projects. Do you think the city is lacking a traditional Chinese medicine project that can be brought to the table?
It just so happens that Shen Anan's diet therapy restaurant performed well in this disease prevention.
After discussion with the superiors, since she was unwilling to return to Hecheng Hospital, they simply used this restaurant as an external publicity point for Hecheng Traditional Chinese Medicine.
"this……"
Although it sounds like a good thing, after all, if you can hang up this sign, it means you have obtained official certification, and there will be more and more customers in the future.
More importantly, the brand of “safe diet therapy” will become famous!
But, here lies the problem.
She was afraid that her restaurant would have to follow the arrangements of her superiors and she would not have the final say, which would restrict her in the future.
Before she could figure out how to tactfully raise her concerns, several hospital leaders had already guessed the reason for her hesitation.
"Comrade Xiao Shen, don't worry. From now on, we will only have a cooperative relationship with you, not a subordinate relationship. As long as there are no food or medicinal material safety issues in your food therapy restaurant, we will not interfere in anything!"
The diet therapy restaurant has become what it is today through wild growth. How dare these people interfere? This is the number one restaurant in Hecheng!
In the entire Hecheng, who is more experienced in restaurant management than Shen Anan?
No, right?
What if something goes wrong with the restaurant? How will we publicize it then?
Therefore, intervention is impossible.
Since the reform and opening up, so many self-employed individuals have emerged, which proves that individuals can also achieve good results. There is no problem as long as the market recognizes it. The people in these units just need to do their own jobs well.
Shen Anan didn't expect the leaders to give in so much, so there was no reason for her to refuse.
It will take some time for this matter to be settled.
The store was finally not so busy, and it happened to be her grandmother's 70th birthday soon, so Shen Anan simply accompanied her aunt and cousin back to Xiaohegou.
In the store, there are three people including my mother-in-law, plus my teacher Dr. Zeng who comes over from time to time, so it is fairly manageable.
Originally she didn't want to make Dr. Zeng so busy, but the old man came anyway. In the end he said that the restaurant provided meals and it wouldn't be a problem for him to take a look around, so he finally decided.
After returning to Xiaohegou, anyone who saw Shen Anan would greet her loudly, for fear that she had not seen them.
Shen Anan was a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, her grandmother's house was not far from the village entrance, otherwise her face would have turned red along the way.
As soon as Old Mrs. Shen saw her granddaughter, she quickly pulled her in.
"You must be very tired on the way here, right? You are so busy over there, why did you come back all this time? Xiaoyu, you are the same, why don't you stop your sister?"
Although her words were complaints, the old lady's tone showed that she couldn't hide her happiness.
What can one gain when one gets old? She is already seventy years old and she doesn’t have many years left to live. The less time she gets to see her children, the less she’ll get to see them!
Your granddaughter is so capable and is willing to take time out to come back and celebrate your birthday. How can you not be happy?
No matter who says it, they will praise Old Lady Shen for being blessed!
"Grandma, can we not come back for your birthday? We have to come back even if business is booming!"
Shen Anan responded with a smile, and stuffed some of the plums she brought back into her grandmother's hands.
"Why did you bring these snacks back? How can an old lady like me eat them?"
Old Lady Shen quickly pushed it back and said, "Take it back, and you and Xiaoyu can eat it later!"
Shen Anan still insisted, "These are all shipped back from the south. You haven't eaten them. Try them! Xiaoyu and I have some to eat."
"Yes! Sister An An bought a lot, and my mom and I often eat in the restaurant!"
Shen Xiaoyu on the side said this, and the old lady put it away.
Tomorrow is the birthday party. Zhao Dahai and his wife are in charge of it. With some villagers also coming to help, they are able to handle the event.
Originally, Shen Anan wanted to help, but was driven back by everyone.
Who dares to ask her for help? This is the great contributor to Xiaohegou!
They just hope that Shen An can have a good rest and come up with more ways to make Xiaohegou rich in the future!
Shen Anan was worshipped like a fool, and didn't have to do anything. All he did all day was sit on the kang, crack some melon seeds, and chat with his grandmother and the villagers.
The next day.
The birthday party was scheduled for around four o'clock in the afternoon.
Old Mrs. Shen was dressed up and chatting with Shen Anan. Shen Dahai walked in hesitantly.
"Mom, how about we go call Dacai and the others over?"
After all, it was the old lady's 70th birthday, but the youngest son didn't come. As her older brother, he couldn't stand it anymore.
Hearing this, Mrs. Shen's face suddenly darkened.
"Why call them over? It's going to cause trouble and make everyone unhappy!"
Old Mrs. Shen really didn't want to see her eldest daughter-in-law Liu Cailan, who had made her very angry last time.
It was a good day, and she didn't want to cause any more trouble!
As for his eldest son, An An had treated him for most of the time, but he was unwilling to continue the treatment. Now he can't walk properly. It's really a sin! She really didn't want to see it!
"Uncle, if grandma doesn't want to, forget it. Let's just live on our own."
Shen Anan said.
There's no guarantee that anything good will come from their coming, so it's better for them not to come.
Seeing that his mother and niece said this, Shen Dahai scratched his head and said nothing more.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the banquet officially started and everyone gathered together, making it very lively.
As the birthday girl, Old Lady Shen heard a lot of nice things, most of which were praising her for being able to teach children and for raising a child like Shen Anan, and praising her for being very blessed.
Shen Anan sat aside, looking at her grandmother's wrinkled face smiling, and her eyes curled unconsciously.
Her grandmother spent money and effort on her schooling, and was blamed by her adoptive mother for many years. Now, she can finally make her grandmother proud of her.
"Grandma, I wish you happiness every year, and may you be blessed as vast as the East Sea!"
After Shen Anan wished her grandmother a happy birthday, she took a sip of her drink and was about to pick up her chopsticks to pick up some food, but she unexpectedly saw several figures walking towards her not far away.
