Chapter 436: Small Shura Field (5K)
Zeng Mi also didn't expect that after Zeng Wenjie became the president of Fengzhou Business Alliance, he could make the members of the alliance make a lot of money by just giving them some advice.
It seems that some people are really born to do business!
Haidilao is still in the process of development, but Zeng Wenjie directly adopted the most mature system of Haidilao and even established a model of rotating store managers. It would be strange if the service attitude of the store employees is not up to standard!
No one wants to be held back by their colleagues during the week they receive their store manager performance review.
The hot pot has a sour soup base, which is different from the tomato pot, but it also uses fermented tomatoes. It is considered a specialty of Niu Shou City and has a unique taste.
No matter what kind of meat you cook, it tastes amazing when paired with chili paste.
The taste is unique but also very popular. Even tourists from other provinces will find it very good and have no complaints. It is very suitable for promotion nationwide.
Zeng Mi unscrewed the bottle, poured the wine into a small glass, and pushed it in front of Zeng Wenjie.
This Maozi is probably quite old. The liquor has a slightly yellowish tint and is very viscous when poured out.
"It's a welcome party for me!" Zeng Mi raised his glass and said with a smile.
"It should be congratulations on your new life." Zeng Wenjie said.
The two wine glasses touched lightly in the air, and then both of them drank it all in one gulp. This glass of wine probably weighed about four grams.
Both of them couldn't help but let out a sigh, the unique kind that comes after drinking strong liquor, and then smiled at each other.
Zeng Mi said, "This wine is quite good. Yan Peng spent a lot of money to treat you."
Zeng Wenjie said, "He should treat me well. I'm his God of Wealth. You can see that this branch is doing incredibly well. If he applies this model to several other stores, he can achieve the same effect."
Zeng Mi nodded and said, "It tastes good and the model is correct. It is indeed easy to succeed."
The two of them ate while drinking strong liquor. After each of them had five taels of liquor in their stomachs, their faces turned a little red.
Zeng Wenjie thought about going back to Yan Peng to get a few more bottles and giving them to his grandfather to taste, so that he could drink a glass or two during the holidays.
My grandfather has quit drinking, but he still drinks a little during festivals.
After Yan Peng finished his work, he rushed to the private room and asked, "President, are the dishes in this restaurant to your liking?"
Zeng Wenjie smiled and said, "I really like sour soup hot pot, and your hot pepper dipping sauce tastes great. Please pack some for me later."
People in Chongshan usually serve hot pot with soup with chili paste as dipping sauce.
Some people don't use sesame oil when eating Shancheng hotpot, and directly dip it in chili peppers, which is extremely cruel to their skin.
"Ms. Zeng, what do you think?" Yan Peng asked with a smile.
"It's pretty good. I've eaten there before. It tastes good, the meat is fresh, and the ingredients are diverse. Now, the service attitude is many times better than before. The experience of dining here is really great." Zeng Mi nodded and responded.
Yan Peng was very happy to hear that.
Zeng Wenjie said, "Mr. Yan must strictly control food safety. This is of paramount importance. Once a problem occurs in this area, it will be a fatal blow to any catering business."
Yan Peng said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zeng. I won't lose sight of the greater good for the sake of small profits. Food is the most important thing for the people. I take food safety very seriously and will not allow rotten fish and shrimp to tarnish my reputation."
While speaking, Yan Peng looked at the Maozi that had been drunk up.
He hurriedly said, "I'm late, I'll drink three cups as punishment!"
As he spoke, he poured himself a glass of wine and no one could stop him.
One cup of four cents, three cups of one ounce and two ounces, and then Yan Peng felt comfortable and let out a very satisfied sigh.
Zeng Mi couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, thinking that if she secretly replaced the wine with Qingchun, she wondered if Yan Peng would still be so eager to punish himself by drinking three cups?
Zeng Wenjie saw this scene and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "Boss Yan really has a good alcohol tolerance!"
Yan Peng said, "Of course not. If President Zeng is not satisfied, I can punish myself by drinking three cups."
Zeng Wenjie hurriedly took the bottle and poured a glass for Zeng Mi and himself, saying, "No, no, no, drink slowly. Mr. Yan, please sit down. Let's drink and talk."
If he drinks three more cups, another 1 or 2 will be gone. This guy has a good idea!
Zeng Wenjie was actually very happy to see Yan Peng grow bigger and stronger. In this way, Fengzhou Business Alliance could become better and bigger, and have the opportunity to promote it throughout the province.
Yan Peng drank some before he came in, while Zeng Wenjie and Zeng Mi drank five taels each. The remaining bottle was just right for the three of them.
After eating and drinking, Yan Peng certainly refused to let Zeng Wenjie pay the bill.
As he was always happy to get something for free, he didn't bother to be polite with Yan Peng. He ate and took something from the place, and even packed a bag of chili sauce to take home.
Yan Peng happily sent Zeng Wenjie away. He now sincerely supported Fengzhou Business Alliance for no other reason than that Zeng Wenjie could help him make more money!
Moreover, he also felt that with a young man like Zeng Wenjie sitting in the Chamber of Commerce like a stabilizing force, the Chamber of Commerce's influence would sooner or later expand to the entire Chongshan Province! One day, Chongshan merchants from other provinces would also actively join in.
Zeng Wenjie took a look at the oil spots on his shirt and felt helpless.
The bad thing about eating hotpot is that it is very easy to get contaminated with these things, especially when you are drunk.
Zeng Mi had a good alcohol tolerance and was not drunk at all. Her steps were steady. Seeing Zeng Wenjie rubbing the oil spots on his clothes, she couldn't help but say, "Go back and soak them in hot water, and then I'll help you wash them."
Zeng Wenjie said politely, "Thank you for your help."
Zeng Mi smiled slightly and extended her right hand towards Zeng Wenjie.
Zeng Wenjie looked puzzled.
"Give me some money." Zeng Mi said.
Zeng Wenjie reached into his pocket to feel for his wallet, and Zeng Mi said, "How can you buy the little box left by the previous owner without money?"
Zeng Wenjie stuffed a stack of money into her hand. She still had some uncollected royalties in her card, but she really didn't have a penny on her.
Zeng Mi took the money and ran to the adult products store with a red face.
When the boss saw that the person coming was a beauty, he couldn't help but curse in his heart, it was really like being fucked by a dog!
If Feng Xiao could hear his inner voice, he would probably give him a thumbs up from afar.
Judging from Zeng Mi's initiative, it seems that she really likes it...
"I bought three boxes." Zeng Mi came over and said in a low voice with a red face.
"Fuck..." Even the 19-year-old college student couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, "Do you really need so much?"
He was really afraid that Zeng Mi would make him use up all his energy again, and then he would be completely exhausted the next day. After being trapped behind bars for a while, he shouldn't be so brutal, right?!
Returning to the teahouse, Zeng Mi picked out a few bottles of wine from the cabinet and prepared to mix them for drinking later.
Then, her cell phone rang. Looking at the note, it was Ye Yixiuan.
"Hello, Yixuan, long time no see." Zeng Mi answered the call immediately and greeted her in a relaxed tone.
"How do you feel?" Ye Yixiuan's voice was still a little cold.
"It's okay. I plan to go to work tomorrow and finish drawing the remaining skins for "Hero Killer." Zeng Mi said.
Ye Yixuan said, "I just wanted to call and ask about your situation. As a friend, I hope you can live a good life in the future."
Zeng Mi smiled after hearing this, her eyes gentle as she said, "Since you want to greet me, why not come and have a drink with me?"
Ye Yixuan sighed, "I'm in Guzhou County. I've just started my current job and am still very busy. When I'm done and come back, I'll definitely have a drink with you."
Zeng Mi said, "Waiting for you."
Ye Yixuan was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Enjoy life."
Zeng Mi said: "Yes!"
After hanging up the phone, Zeng Mi said to Zeng Wenjie: "It was Yixuan who called."
Zeng Wenjie nodded and said, "I heard everything."
It was because she heard it that she didn't dare to speak. Although Ye Yixiuan knew clearly what the relationship between them was, she felt a little scared every time she thought about it?
Damn, could it be that he is harboring some reckless fantasies about Ye Yixiuan?
Zeng Wenjie shook his head gently twice, and Zeng Mi happened to hand him a glass of prepared wine.
"I just drank a lot of white wine. I should drink less now so as not to delay tomorrow's work." Zeng Wenjie said.
"Well, then drink less." Zeng Mi said with a smile.
The two sat on the sofa, slowly drinking the mixed drinks and chatting. The atmosphere was pleasant and relaxed.
Zeng Mi felt very happy. It seemed that it was the first time that she drank with Zeng Wenjie without any purpose.
Zeng Mi said, "I plan to delve into the field of game art design in the future, so that I can always accompany you in making games."
Zeng Wenjie said, "Aren't you afraid of being exploited by me? The more you have nothing, the easier it is for me to exploit you."
Zeng Mi then said, "Then I wonder if I can get double the amount from somewhere else?"
Zeng Wenjie has a big business and is very rich, which is why Zeng Mi can calm down and not be too afraid of her future life.
Even if she really can't make any money in the future, at least she doesn't have to worry about financial problems.
Moreover, the character portraits of "Hero Killer" are also a sustainable and considerable source of income for her.
She also had the mentality of a little girl who had just fallen in love. She didn't consider whether she would be disliked when she got old. All she thought was that this man would always take care of her and guarantee her future life.
Zeng Mi maintained a certain purity in certain areas, and it was this purity that enabled her to quickly get out of the dark side of the past.
And Zeng Wenjie certainly wouldn't take advantage of her.
After drinking a lot of wine, he carried Zeng Mi back to the bedroom and prepared to study the small box.
Zeng Mi developed the habit of getting up early while behind bars. Seeing Zeng Wenjie sleeping soundly, she did not disturb him and got up on her own to wash up.
But the attic is a wooden structure after all, so it will make some noise when you step on it.
Zeng Mi looked at everything around him and still felt a sense of unfamiliarity. The environment behind the iron bars had an exceptionally strong effect on people's domestication.
"Sister Zeng Mi." Zeng Wenjie opened his eyes and called out lazily.
"Here!" Zeng Mi responded subconsciously.
Both of them were stunned.
Then Zeng Mi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Zeng Wenjie reached out and hugged her, saying, "After work today, I'll treat everyone to a meal, and you can get acquainted with your colleagues. Then, in the evening, I'll let Feng Xiao have a drink with you, and you can chat with her."
"Okay, I miss Feng Xiao a little too." Zeng Mi agreed.
Then, Zeng Mi turned around and looked at him, saying, "Do you call Feng Xiao sister?"
Zeng Wenjie said, "That's not the case."
Zeng Mi asked, "So you're reminding me that I'm older?"
Zeng Wenjie was dumbfounded and muttered, "What the hell is going on?"
Zeng Mi said: "Don't call me that in private, otherwise I always feel like you are reminding me of my age."
Zeng Wenjie smiled bitterly and said, "Father-in-law Cao Pi doesn't speak."
Zeng Mi was stunned and asked, "What the hell?"
"Zhen Ji's father is speechless." Zeng Wenjie said slowly.
“…” Zeng Mi couldn’t help but punch him twice on the forehead.
The two went to the bathroom to wash up together. Zeng Mi looked at the picture in the mirror and felt particularly at peace in her heart.
This is a kind of life that I have never experienced in the past thirty years.
Zeng Wenjie said, "I assigned Feng Xiao to the Chamber of Commerce as Secretary General. She sometimes has to run back and forth between the company and the Chamber of Commerce. She should be at the company today. I'll give her a call and ask."
Zeng Mi said, "Okay."
She really wanted to meet Feng Xiao because she felt that she and Feng Xiao were good friends.
Feng Xiao played an indispensable role in the change in her mentality.
Although Zeng Mi is younger than Feng Xiao, she always feels that Feng Xiao is like her sister.
After all, he has been a caged bird for many years and has only seen the lives of people in one circle. It is normal that he is not as open-minded and generous as Feng Xiao.
Zeng Mi, who was calm, quiet and gentle, looked at herself in the mirror and for the first time felt that she was not so haggard and sad. This made her unable to help but smile slightly, revealing her white teeth and two shallow dimples.
"I know you are very happy to have me, a man who is as handsome as Daniel Wu, but you don't have to smile so obviously, right?!" Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.
"You're so talkative." Zeng Mi just responded softly and walked out of the bathroom with a smile.
Zeng Wenjie nodded with satisfaction. So far, this two-way redemption has come to an end?
He thought that was the way it should be.
Zeng Mi took the blame for him, and he saved Zeng Mi's fate.
Then, Zeng Mi began to stand in front of the wardrobe, struggling with what to wear. She couldn't help but ask, "Should I wear a uniform? I don't seem to have a particularly formal uniform."
Zeng Wenjie said, "Our studio doesn't have that many commuting requirements. Besides, you're an artist, so it's better for artists to dress more casually. That way, you can look more spiritual."
Zeng Mi nodded thoughtfully, rummaged through her clothes, and then drove Zeng Wenjie out.
Although she has had many experiences of being honest with others, she is still not used to changing clothes in front of others.
When Zeng Mi came out after changing her clothes, Zeng Wenjie's eyes lit up. She was wearing a brightly colored skirt, a light yellow shirt on top, and a women's suit jacket with flared cuffs on the outside.
He gave a thumbs-up and said, "You have really good taste, Zeng Mi."
Zeng Mi took his arm and said, "Let's go, Wenjie!"
After leaving the teahouse, Zeng Mi naturally let go of his arm and kept a distance from him that did not seem ambiguous at first glance.
"Please get in the car." Zeng Wenjie opened the car door and said.
"Thank you." Zeng Mi smiled and got into the passenger seat.
Zeng Wenjie sat in the driver's seat and while driving told Zeng Mi about his colleagues in the studio, what their personalities and temperaments were like, and what positions they held.
Zeng Mi asked, "Yuan Xiuqin is the beauty from the University of Science and Technology that you mentioned, right? You're quite capable, actually recruiting a beauty from the University of Science and Technology to work in the Fengyuan!"
Zeng Wenjie said, "Of course."
Zeng Mi said, "I'm afraid he has some bad intentions, right?"
Zeng Wenjie shook his head and said, "A rabbit doesn't eat grass near its burrow, okay? I don't have any such thoughts. It's you who's dirty."
Zeng Mi raised his hands in surrender and said, "Yes, yes, um, about Feng Ji, you speak very highly of him. Is he really that talented?"
Zeng Wenjie said: "His talent is not obvious yet. Give him some time to polish it. He will bring surprises to us all."
Zeng Mi seemed to be lost in thought, and couldn't help but draw a mental picture of his colleagues in advance.
"Zeng Mi, did Feng Xiao teach you the highest etiquette for riding in an Audi A8?" Zeng Wenjie asked.
"What is the highest etiquette for riding in an Audi A8?" Zeng Mi asked in confusion.
"Put your legs together and lean towards the driver's seat." Zeng Wenjie said seriously.
Zeng Mi did as she was told, and then Zeng Wenjie naturally got the hang of it. She suddenly realized what kind of rule this was. She had never heard of it before!
If anyone dared to move their legs to the other side, Zeng Wenjie would slam on the brakes, wave his hand, and ask her to get off the car on her own.
Zeng Mi couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. This guy only behaved like a frivolous and arrogant teenager at certain times. Most of the time, he looked very mature. Sometimes, it was even more special to look into his eyes. You could always see some vicissitudes of life in him.
Especially last time in the studio 207 late at night, when they looked into each other's eyes, Zeng Mi felt as if those eyes had traveled through time and space and pierced her heart.
After driving to the entrepreneurial base, Feng Xiao heard the sound and came out of the office on the first floor.
When she saw Zeng Mi, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Sister Zeng Mi, long time no see."
Zeng Mi nodded at Feng Xiao and said, "Feng Xiao, I missed you too! Um... I still look relatively young today, don't I?"
Feng Xiao raised his eyebrows and said softly, "Looking young and your actual age are two different things."
Zeng Mi's smile froze and she said, "But some people are not very old, but they don't look too young."
Feng Xiao puffed out his chest slightly and said, "Yes, C, it's okay."
Zeng Wenjie felt that when the two met, there seemed to be some kind of lightning and fire? Not harmonious!
Before, everything was not settled and the two could live in harmony.
But now, they both know what's going on, so they're starting to compete with each other?
"Let's have a couple of drinks tonight?" Zeng Mi asked, changing the subject.
"Okay, I also miss the wine made by Sister Zeng Mi." Feng Xiao nodded and agreed happily.
Zeng Wenjie was afraid that they would start fighting again, so he said to Zeng Mi, "Sister Zeng Mi, I'll take you upstairs to recognize the people first, and then you can talk to Feng Xiao later."
Zeng Mi said, "Well, I'll come downstairs later to reminisce with your sister Feng Xiao!"
The word "sister" was pronounced with great emphasis, and Feng Xiao's lips couldn't help but tighten slightly when he heard it.
