Chapter 681: Surprise
Ye Rufeng forbade Bai Zhi from telling Ye Tiandong in advance about their return to Nancheng, and Bai Zhi didn't dare to call and reveal the secret.
She thought that her grandfather and Linlin had traveled all over the country, seen the world, and ridden trains, so there was no need to worry too much.
So Bai Zhi kept her composure and didn't call ahead to inform them.
My maternal grandfather will be there tomorrow or on the opening day; my uncle will be very surprised.
The father and son have reconciled; the rest of their relationship is up to them to nurture.
Bai Zhi returned to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic in the county town after waking up on the second day.
We opened half an hour later than usual today, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference.
Normally, no patients come in too early.
She opened the door and started cleaning.
I plan to take inventory of the medicinal herbs later. If we need to replenish them, I'll call the head of the sales department at the herb factory and have them deliver directly.
As she hummed a song while wiping the table, the phone rang.
Bai Zhi hurriedly grabbed the mobile phone and answered the call.
My first thought was that my grandfather and Linlin had arrived safely.
When she answered the phone, a different voice came through: "Good morning, Dr. Xiaobai!"
Bai Zhi's expression shifted slightly upon hearing Dean Liu's voice.
She put down the rag and politely said, "Dean Liu, hello."
Without any unnecessary pleasantries, Dean Liu went straight to the point, "Dr. Bai, how did your discussion with Dr. Ye go? I've been waiting for your news these past two days. Could we meet with Dr. Ye again to discuss it further?"
Bai Zhi said apologetically, "Dean Liu, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to delay you. My grandfather had to go on a long trip yesterday and may not be back for a few days."
"What? Dr. Ye has gone on a long trip?" Dean Liu asked, his voice tinged with nervousness.
When will Ye Rufeng return from his long trip?
I heard that he travels for more than half a year at a time.
Angelica dahurica responded.
"Yes, that's why I didn't contact you."
Dean Liu composed himself and continued to inquire, "When will you be back? Have you discussed the cooperation with him? What is his specific attitude?"
"Dean Liu, I tried to talk to him before. My grandfather is a very reasonable person."
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Dean Liu's expression brightened slightly on the other end of the phone, and he pressed for an answer, "What did he say?"
Bai Zhi cleared her throat and said very seriously, "My grandfather knows that I am determined to cooperate with your hospital to establish this studio and dedicate our detoxification therapy to save more people. I also told him about your and Director Li's sincere dedication to treating patients. He was finally persuaded and entrusted me to discuss this matter with your hospital."
"Really? So Dr. Ye has agreed to the collaboration?" Dean Liu's anxiety finally subsided.
Bai Zhi said, "Well, we need to meet and discuss the specifics in detail. If we can reach an agreement, then of course we can cooperate."
"Dr. Xiaobai, when would you like to meet?"
"Dean Liu, you are a leader, you must be very busy and unable to leave. I will come to your office this afternoon."
Bai Zhi's respect for Dean Liu pleased him greatly. He smiled and said, "Alright, Dr. Bai, I'll be waiting for your arrival."
...
Ye Rufeng and Zhou Lin arrived at Nancheng Railway Station in the morning.
"Linlin, go home."
"Grandpa Ye, what about you?" Zhou Lin asked Ye Rufeng with concern.
Ye Rufeng said, "I'm going back to my own courtyard to rest."
"Please give my regards to your grandparents."
Ye Rufeng gave Zhou Lin one hundred yuan so she could buy something for her family.
Before Zhou Lin could refuse, he waved his hand and left gracefully.
Ye Rufeng returned to his courtyard in the south of the city, expecting the house to be very dirty.
He planned to clean up before resting, but when he opened the door, he was surprised to find the yard clean and tidy, without a single extra fallen leaf.
The main room was also kept very clean.
It seems someone cleans this house regularly?
Or did Bai Zhi notify someone in advance to come and clean?
Ye Rufeng didn't sleep well on the train last night, so he can't think too much right now. He has to admit that his health is not as good as it used to be these past two years. He feels dizzy and lightheaded when he doesn't sleep well at night.
He went back to his room and lay down for a nap before discussing anything further.
Ye Tiandong's Nancheng Hotel is located on the most bustling street in Nancheng. It was formerly the Nancheng State-run Restaurant and will open tomorrow. At this moment, Cui Hua is training all the staff who will be on duty.
Ye Tiandong also personally took charge of conducting a thorough examination.
Unlike the Bincheng Grand Hotel, which only offers dining, the Nancheng Grand Hotel also provides accommodation rooms.
The first floor is a restaurant, the second floor has private rooms, and the third and fourth floors are all accommodations.
The hotel's modern decor perfectly suits the aesthetics of today's young people.
The recruitment scale is also quite large.
As the hotel's deputy general manager, Cui Hua personally oversaw the recruitment and training processes.
The hotel is not yet open, and the recruitment process is not yet over.
At this moment, a subordinate came over to report on the recruitment situation.
"I've heard there's still a significant shortage of waiters/waitresses in the food and beverage department," Cui Hua said.
"No rush. Keep sending job postings to the newspaper office and put up job ads at the door. Recruit slowly."
"If there are any applicants, the interviews will be held at 2 PM."
"good."
After Cui Hua finished her work, she went to Ye Tiandong's office.
Ye Tiandong had just finished his work. When he saw Cui Hua come in, he rubbed his tired brows and smiled, "How was it? Are you done?"
Cui Hua replied, "Everything is basically arranged, except that the catering department is still short of waiters. If there are any applicants this afternoon, we will need to conduct interviews."
"The waitress interviews can be delegated to others." Cui Hua does everything herself, and Ye Tiandong sees this and is really worried that her health won't be able to handle it. Actually, there's no need to be so serious about the details.
However, Cui Hua's attitude was completely different from his. "No, I have to personally oversee it. The opening of a new store cannot tolerate any mistakes. From the department head to the waiters, I have to personally interview and screen them to feel at ease."
Looking at her serious and tense expression, Ye Tiandong chuckled, "You're just born to be a workaholic."
"I call this taking responsibility."
"Okay, okay, I'll take responsibility." Ye Tiandong pulled her into his arms.
Cui Hua awkwardly pushed him away, saying, "This is the office."
"What are you afraid of in my office?" Ye Tiandong forcefully pulled her over, looking at her flushed cheeks, he wanted to tease her even more, so he lightly pecked her on the cheek, "We're both so old, why are you still shy?"
His actions made Cui Hua's face turn even redder.
"Remember, we're a couple, you're my other half, so don't be so tense around me."
“It’s working hours now. As the boss, you need to act like one.” Cui Hua pushed him away firmly. “We can talk about personal matters when we get home.”
If this continues, her heart will jump out of her chest.
Ye Tiandong leaned closer to her and whispered suggestively in her ear, "Then let's go home early tonight, okay?"
