Chapter 438 Receiving Foreign Guests
Li Zhixin's face turned completely black.
Is this restaurant owned by Xia Juanjuan's family? With her poor family background and her father being a coal hauler, how is that possible!
"How is that possible! She must have secretly informed you and asked you to lie to save face for her, right?" Feng Yue said in a sharp voice.
The waiter was puzzled: "Comrade, our boss is our boss, why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, there is nothing I can do."
Having said that, he walked away.
At this time, Qi Jiaan came in from outside and asked as soon as he came in: "Where is your manager? I have something good to tell her!"
The waiter smiled and said, "Mr. Qi, the manager is in the kitchen and should be out soon."
One of the classmates said: "This old gentleman's surname is Qi, he should be the former young master of Yuanxiangju."
Li Zhixin and Feng Yue saw it and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that Xia Juanjuan was lying.
The real boss is here, right? Since the hotel is still called Yuanxiangju, it must be the Qi family's restaurant!
As they were talking, Xia Juanjuan came out from the kitchen.
Li Zhixin and Feng Yue were not in a hurry to leave, as they wanted to wait and see her being exposed.
When Qi Jiaan saw Xia Juanjuan coming out, he went up with his cane and said with a smile: "Juanjuan, I was looking for you! The street just found me and said that the day after tomorrow, District Chief Wang will receive foreign guests, and the banquet will be held in our Yuanxiangju! District Chief Wang has personally given instructions, and as the boss, you must accompany District Chief Wang to receive foreign guests!"
Xia Juanjuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why do you want me to receive you? I can't handle this."
Qi Jiaan smiled and said, "Don't refuse. You are a top student from Peking University, and now you are the owner of the first private restaurant in our district. You have to do it even if you can't handle it! District Chief Wang said that you are a role model in our district!"
At this point, Li Zhixin, Feng Yue and others were completely dumbfounded.
"And...receiving foreign guests with the district chief? This...my goodness, Xia Juanjuan is actually the boss?!" a classmate couldn't help but exclaimed!
Li Zhixin was no longer in the mood to slap herself in the face. She originally thought that the snack bar opened by her family could make a net profit of two to three hundred yuan a month, which was already higher than the average person.
But who would have thought that Xia Juanjuan would suddenly become the owner of such a large restaurant? !
Apart from other things, the monthly rent for this building must be over a thousand! And they employ so many people, how much do they have to pay?
By this calculation, the cost per month is probably several thousand yuan!
Compared with Yuanxiangju, her snack bar is so embarrassing that it’s even embarrassing to mention it!
Moreover, the district chief even specifically asked her to accompany the guests?
Li Zhixin felt extremely unbalanced!
She originally came here to slap Xia Juanjuan in the face and laugh at her, but in the end, she discovered that there was an insurmountable gap between her and Xia Juanjuan!
However, this time, Xia Juanjuan was the one high above, and she was the one humbled in the dirt!
How did things turn out like this!
No... this must be Xia Juanjuan's trick.
Since she works part-time as a waitress here, it is possible that she could ask the boss of Yuanxiangju to lie for her and save face.
After all, she had to admit that with Xia Juanjuan's seductive looks, it was very likely that she could attract men, women, young and old!
"Hey, how about we come over the day after tomorrow to see what the foreign guests look like?" a classmate whispered to the classmate next to him.
Li Zhixin's heart moved.
Yes! Come and see the day after tomorrow, and you will know whether Xia Juanjuan is bluffing or not!
It would be hilarious if the district chief hadn't shown up!
Li Zhixin felt a little calmer when she thought about this.
Still holding his proud head high, he went out.
Time soon came to the day after tomorrow. Li Zhixin deliberately dressed low-key and came with a close friend. They found a corner and sat down.
This time, she didn't look for Feng Yue, mainly because of Feng Yue's noisy temper. If he started to make a fuss again, she would be embarrassed as well.
Besides, she was also afraid of losing face in front of Feng Yue.
After sitting down and ordering a few dishes, Li Zhixin looked around and felt a little relieved.
This Yuanxiangju has basically not changed from the day before yesterday.
If this is a reception for foreign guests, wouldn't the place have to be cleared? Wouldn't there be a warm welcome banner outside, or some pots of flowers?
There's nothing going on at all. You said there will be foreign guests coming soon? You must be kidding!
Just as I was thinking this, a waiter came in, came to the door of the back kitchen, and said excitedly: "It's here! It's ready."
Li Zhixin's heart sank.
After a while, I saw two jeeps parked outside the window.
Next, a man in his forties or fifties got off the car, followed by a few blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners, and then Xia Juanjuan got off the car together!
District Chief Wang and several of his entourage were all wearing Zhongshan suits with their buttons buttoned up neatly.
Xia Juanjuan put on some light makeup and wore a long-sleeved, slim-fitting skirt that reached her ankles, sweeping away the gray and conservative style of the past few years, but making it a little bolder, showing a new look after opening up.
Xia Juanjuan guided them in fluent foreign language: "Everyone, please come this way."
On the way, District Chief Wang had already seen Xia Juanjuan's foreign language style, which was better than the two translators he brought with him. She chatted and laughed with the foreign guests, but she knew when to advance and retreat, and was neither humble nor arrogant.
District Chief Wang's eyes lit up. He had never expected that there were so many hidden talents in their district!
He originally thought that Xia Juanjuan must have received funding from the Fu family, which was why she had the funds to open this store. Now, he really has a new respect for the woman in front of him!
Li Zhixin looked at Xia Juanjuan in the crowd. She was like a dazzling star, not inferior to those foreign female guests in small suits and skirts. She was so jealous that she almost broke the chopsticks in her hand!
Xia Juanjuan led a group of people to the second floor.
Li Zhixin couldn't eat anymore and was so angry that he paid the bill and left.
Xia Juanjuan did notice Li Zhixin sitting in the corner, but in this situation, she didn't care about Li Zhixin.
She introduced the signature dishes of Yuan Xiang Ju to the guests in a graceful manner, but when it was time to step down, she did not seek to steal the spotlight. The main time of the banquet was spent talking with District Chief Wang and the guests.
District Chief Wang also felt very proud.
The purpose of receiving foreign guests this time is mainly to attract investment.
But if you want to attract investment, you have to show them your investment environment, right? So, they chose Yuan Xiang Ju instead of the old state-owned hotel.
Now, as the boss of Yuanxiangju, Xia Juanjuan has performed so well, fully reflecting the investment situation in Beijing. Isn't that a honor for him?
