"Is it good news? How did you guess that?"
Jiang Shushu: “…” To be honest, I can see it from the wrinkles on your face, but I didn’t dare to say it.
"I guessed it because I saw you were happy, Manager."
"Is it so obvious?" I wanted to keep a low profile, but I was too happy today and felt too proud. Haha... I didn't expect that I, Zheng Dayong, would have such a glorious moment.
Zheng Dayong thought about the director's high praise during the meeting just now, and the other managers' jaws-dropping expressions when they heard about their company's performance last month. He felt so happy that he was even happier than the day he received his salary.
Jiang Shushu nodded sincerely, but couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Manager Ai, all 16 of your teeth are showing. How did I guess that? And if you want to laugh, just laugh. Don't hold it back. Your expression of wanting to laugh but restraining it is really not good. If you look like Zhang Zhian, that pretty boy, it's fine, but you look almost like his father, just a little whiter. If there are customers, it will scare them."
Having said that, Zheng Dayong stopped pretending, "Haha... I can't help it, I'm just too happy, I can't help it!"
Qian Xiaoni also arrived at this time. "Manager, I heard your laughter from far away. What are you so happy about?"
Now, no matter whether they arrived earlier or just arrived, they all gathered around.
"I was originally planning to leave it for later, after I'm done cleaning, but now that everyone's here, I'll tell you two good things: the New Year's benefits, and the performance rankings. This year's New Year's benefits are unprecedented, double what they were in previous years."
The others were initially incredulous, but then their excitement blossomed, and they all expressed their joy. State-owned restaurants were among the best in Q City for New Year's benefits, and if they doubled, they would be second to none.
Lively Qian Xiaoni: "Manager, why are the benefits so good this year?"
"This is the last year for the five state-owned restaurants to reunite. From now on, there will only be three left. The director wants everyone to be happy and have a good New Year."
The group felt a little disappointed after hearing this.
Zheng Dayong clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Cheer up, everyone! I have some good news to share. Our performance ranking has improved. Although it's only increased by one place, to fourth place, the gap between us and third place is only 66.66 yuan. I believe that as long as we work hard, we will definitely surpass third place and possibly overtake second place."
Others said they would try their best.
Jiang Shushu was stunned. "That's it! I was waiting for you to say 'First Place'?" He shouldn't have said 'First Place isn't a dream'. After all, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier.
Zheng Dayong noticed Jiang Shushu's expression, "Xiao Jiang, what's wrong?"
"Haha, it's nothing, it's nothing. I thought we were still going to fight for first place."
Zheng Dayong didn't expect Jiang Shushu to answer like that. He was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
A group of people: "..." How dare you! We never even dreamed of this. Don't you know how big the gap is between us and state-owned restaurants?
Zheng Dayong: "Haha... Xiao Jiang, you're ambitious. Alas, I'm old, old, and can't compare to the energy of young people. Xiao Jiang is right. We can't boost others' ambitions and destroy our own prestige. As long as we work hard, being number one is not a dream. We must work hard and give it our all."
Except for Jiang Shushu and a large group of people: "..." No, this is just a dream, a dream that none of them dared to think about.
On the other side, south of the National Hotel, Sun Shi sat in his office with a sullen face. The more he thought about it, the angrier and more anxious he became.
What had that old fox, Zheng Dayong, done? Why had their sales increased so much last month? They were so close to losing their third place. If things continued like this, they'd have to close down and pack up and leave, and that would be the end of the entire State-Owned Restaurant South.
Sun Shi stood up and walked towards the door, intending to go to the east of the state-owned hotel to see what was going on.
No, no, that old fox Zheng Dayong must be on guard against me. I won't be able to ask anything if I go there. I have to do it quietly.
Sun Shi didn't stop, but called Li Hai, who was cleaning outside, into the office.
"Manager, what do you want from me?"
"Li Hai, I remember you have a younger brother who is in high school, right?"
"Yes."
"Today and tomorrow are Saturday and Sunday, so there shouldn't be school. Is your brother home?"
"exist."
Sun Shi took out a dollar and half a pound of food coupons. "Take this back and give it to your brother. Have him go to the State-owned Restaurant East for dinner in the next couple of days and see why business is so good there lately. This could affect whether we'll be transferred. Ask your brother to be more careful."
"Okay, Manager, don't worry, I will make sure my brother finds out the reason."
The managers of the other three restaurants were also particularly curious about what the state-owned restaurant owner had done. Li Erzhu was simply curious, after all, he was ready for a transfer. Zheng Fei was trying to learn from him; after all, he'd been second in command for so many years and wanted to be the boss for once. Zhao Jun was half curious and half worried about Zheng Dayong's tricks, so the three of them sent their younger family members to the state-owned restaurant owner to investigate.
Here, Yang Xiaobei took out a chicken, a pound of ribs, and a pound of pork belly, intending to finish work early in the afternoon and take them to the city to give to Huang Erniu (the Huang family's grandfather and grandson were at school and work during the day, so neither of them was at home).
At 5 pm, Yang Xiaobei arrived in the city. On the way to Huang's house, he met Yang Xiaodong and his new wife Lin Huahua.
When the two brothers met, neither of them spoke. They both planned to pass by each other. Lin Huahua didn't want to pay attention to Yang Xiaobei. After all, there was no need to waste energy on a brother-in-law who was unpopular, had severed ties with him, had gone to the countryside, and had no future.
But in a flash, Lin Huahua saw a small chicken claw-like toe sticking out of the bag submitted by Yang Xiaobei.
When Lin Huahua thought that the bag Yang Xiaobei was carrying contained meat, she, who had only eaten two pieces of meat on her wedding day, suddenly became greedy and her legs could not move anymore.
She immediately said to Yang Xiaobei enthusiastically: "Xiaobei, long time no see. Your brother and I got married 10 days ago. Did you come back to see your parents? Your parents have been thinking about you all the time. There is no parent who doesn't love their children. Let's talk about it. Let's go on, let's go home with sister-in-law." After saying that, she wanted to reach out and take the bag that Yang Xiaobei was holding.
As long as it falls into my hands, Lin Huahua will own it. I don't believe a brother-in-law would dare to make a move on me, his sister-in-law. If he dares to move, I will call him a hooligan. Anyway, the Yang family hates Yang Xiaobei to death and will definitely stand on my side.
