Chapter 279 Unexpected Person
Xu Qingmeng looked at him. This didn't seem like something Gu Yunyi would do. Could it be that she knew him?
But she didn't seem to have the impression that there was anyone capable of doing the job of shopkeeper?
"Who is it?" Xu Qingmeng asked curiously.
"yes……"
"Master, Madam, there is someone outside the door who wants to see you. He says his surname is Lin and there is a young man there."
Last name Lin?
And with a young man?
Xu Qingmeng thought for a moment, but still couldn't remember who the person with the surname Lin was.
Gu Yunyi whispered, "Shopkeeper Lin."
"Manager Lin?"
"Please come in." Gu Yunyi said to the doorman.
The doorman went out to invite someone, and Xu Qingmeng hurriedly asked, "Which shopkeeper Lin?"
"Chunhe Tower!"
"What?" Xu Qingmeng was stunned.
Gu Yunyi nodded.
Chunhe Tower is second only to Zuiyue Tower, and the shopkeeper there is no simple person. How could he be willing to be the shopkeeper here? How did Gu Yunyi poach this person?
Before Xu Qingmeng could ask something, Shopkeeper Lin came in with the young man.
"Master Xu, Master Gu, you are here so late. I am sorry to bother you."
The two shops purchased in the city were both registered under Xu Qingmeng's name, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and the hot pot restaurant was also named that.
Xu Qingmeng actually didn't care, but Gu Yunyi and He felt that it was because of her that the Gu family was able to achieve such success, so it was only right to put the name under the daughter-in-law's name.
Xu Qingmeng hurriedly asked the two to sit down.
"I didn't know it was Shopkeeper Lin before, and my husband didn't tell me. The shop will open the day after tomorrow, and I was worried. Now that I see Shopkeeper Lin, I really worried for nothing."
Shopkeeper Lin waved his hands and said, "I don't deserve it. I am grateful to Boss Xu and Master Gu for looking up to me. I was delayed by some things these days. Fortunately, I made it in time and did not delay anything. I hope the boss will forgive me. However, I will definitely help the boss to take care of it tomorrow, and the opening of the business the day after tomorrow will not be delayed."
After Shopkeeper Lin's words came out, Xu Qingmeng had nothing to worry about.
On the day Zhuyunzhai opened, they probably only entertained one table of guests. As for the decoration, it was almost done, just some trivial matters.
What's more, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. Xu Qingmeng is very satisfied that Shopkeeper Lin is willing to come. What's more, for the current Zhuyunzhai, Shopkeeper Lin is really a waste of his talents.
When Shopkeeper Lin saw that Xu Qingmeng did not mention anything about her former employer, he thought that she knew about it, and since it was a bad thing anyway, he did not mention it.
Gu Yunyi talked to Shopkeeper Lin about the treatment. Xu Qingmeng just listened from the side without interrupting. Gu Yunyi must have told them in advance before inviting people over.
Soon, the salary and benefits were decided and the contract was signed immediately. Xu Qingmeng then realized that the young man next to him was the nephew of Manager Lin, who also worked in Chunhe Tower before.
Shopkeeper Lin is training this person to be his successor, which is simply icing on the cake for Xu Qingmeng!
As expected, Shopkeeper Lin had worked in a big restaurant, and Xu Qingmeng had a very pleasant conversation with him.
"It's already late today. Tomorrow I will have someone go to the government office to stamp it. By the way, I will take you to Zhuyunzhai to see if there is anything else that needs to be improved. In the future, I will need Manager Lin to worry about it."
Xu Qingmeng's decoration is actually roughly based on modern styles. Gu Yunyi is actually also vague about this area. In comparison, Manager Lin is more experienced, and there will definitely be no problem with him in charge.
Of course, all future purchases for Zhuyunzhai will be done by Shopkeeper Lin. Xu Qingmeng is actually a person who is afraid of trouble. Now that she has Shopkeeper Lin, she can concentrate on her kitchen.
Don't employ someone if you don't trust him, and don't doubt someone if you employ him. Of course, her current restaurant is just a small one, and it's not worth anyone's attention.
When saying goodbye, Xu Qingmeng did not stand up to see him off, but she could tell from Shopkeeper Lin's expression that he was grateful to Gu Yunyi.
"Don't worry, Master Gu. I will take good care of Zhuyunzhai. We will always remember your kindness."
"Manager Lin, you are too polite." Gu Yunyi smiled and sent the two of them out.
After the two of them left and closed the door, Xu Qingmeng held Gu Yunyi's arm. They returned to the room and just as they sat down, they asked,
"What's going on with Shopkeeper Lin? Why would anyone be willing to come to our little place?"
Gu Yunyi looked at his wife's anxious expression and explained, "This shopkeeper Lin is called Lin Dashan. He has a son named Lin Zhijie, who is also in the same class as me."
"But what does this have to do with Manager Lin being the manager here? And judging from your appearance, you trust Manager Lin very much. Is it because his son is your classmate?"
"My wife, my husband is so unreliable in your eyes, how can you trust others so easily?" Gu Yunyi pinched her nose and said with a smile.
Gu Yunyi explained without waiting for her to answer.
Although Lin Zhijie is his classmate, he is from the provincial capital after all and has his own circle. Gu Yunyi is respectful and polite in the provincial school, has high knowledge and is praised by others. He seems to be close to everyone, but in fact he is distant from everyone except Zhou Yuanjia and Fang Ziheng.
Li Haoze, the young master of Chunhe Building, got along very well with Lin Zhijie and often took Lin Zhijie to play together. However, when they played together, Lin Zhijie passed the exam while he failed, so he naturally felt unhappy.
In his opinion, Lin Zhijie was just the son of a servant in his family. He was always resentful about why he was admitted.
Lin Zhijie is a warm and enthusiastic person, and he is not stingy. There are many classmates who are willing to interact with him. However, they are all like him, cheerful and enthusiastic, but they talk too much.
There's nothing wrong with such people, except that they tend to be like women, gossiping about other people's affairs.
Lin Zhijie would also gossip about other people's gossip with others before, but this time it was his turn.
Shopkeeper Lin had worked in Chunhelou for more than ten years and had deep feelings for the place. Li Haoze didn't pass the entrance exam, so he stopped studying. It happened that the old shopkeeper fell ill, so he handed the shop over to Li Haoze. Li Haoze was a bit arrogant himself and didn't take the old people in Chunhelou seriously at all.
In fact, when the red chili oil first appeared, Manager Lin suggested that they could see if they could cooperate with it, but Li Haoze felt that his Chunhelou was not of that level and did not look up to it at all.
But Zuiyuelou was taken to a higher level because of Qiao Mingyu's recommendation, thanks to the chili oil. The gap between the two restaurants was not that big, but this created a big difference.
Li Haoze then realized what he had missed, and the declining business made him get scolded by the old shopkeeper.
