Chapter 506 Old Man Yan's Hot Pot Birthday Banquet
Three days later, the final exam was over. Jiang Qin wrote down everything he knew, such as his name and class.
At this time, the holiday date is just around the corner, and a light rain creates the atmosphere of leaving school. The college students finally escape from the sea of suffering and begin to pack their luggage, preparing to go home to spend the long summer vacation, going to bed late and getting up late.
During this period, the people from Class 208 came back as a group and had a hotpot with Professor Yan.
The reason why we came back specifically to eat hotpot was because that day was the eve of the old man’s 60th birthday.
Considering that Professor Yan would return to his hometown to entertain friends and guests on his birthday, and that the students he had trained over the years would also come back to see him, Jiang Qin brought people to give him a surprise the night before.
This weird old man always does things in a serious manner. He holds others to strict standards and himself to even stricter standards. As a result, he is too serious every day and not very happy.
However, he unexpectedly liked eating hot pot and loved Dong Wenhao's secret sauce.
If you want to book a table at a big restaurant outside, he may not be willing to go, but as long as you cook a pot of good soup base at the entrepreneurship base, the old man will come over by smelling the aroma.
In addition, since the beginning of 2010, the company has expanded rapidly, and the startup team has not eaten hot pot together for a long time.
This is a birthday celebration and also a reunion, which is of great significance.
So that afternoon, a round table was set up in Room 207 early in the day.
A banner was hung on the opposite wall, which read "The ageless male god, forever eighteen".
Dong Wenhao, wearing an apron, stirred the bone soup he had been cooking for a day, fried some crispy pork, and prepared a few bowls of secret sauce.
Lu Feiyu, a money-loser, took the other boys to the pedestrian street to buy some goods. The amount of goods carried was comparable to that of Huolala, but he only bought expensive things.
The girls were more relaxed, watching TV series while washing vegetables and chatting about all kinds of gossip.
Feng Nanshu also squatted on the side to help them pick vegetables, and then heard them say that a girl from a certain college was unexpectedly pregnant. Her cherry-red little mouth couldn't help but open wide.
"What the hell are you guys talking about?"
Jiang Qin passed by and instantly raised his eyebrows.
Wen Jinrui looked up when he heard the voice: "Boss, a school girl got pregnant unexpectedly, didn't you know? Her parents came to the school, but she doesn't have a boyfriend yet. I heard it's her best friend's boyfriend."
"Nonsense! Slander!"
"Why are you so excited? What I said is true."
"That's what she deserves. She doesn't value friendship!"
Jiang Qin criticized her seriously, then covered the rich woman's ears and carried her away.
But when Jiang Qin wasn't paying attention, she sneaked back and listened again.
Tan Qing and Su Nai also came back from Shanghai, and Ye Ziqing came with them. After all, it was Professor Yan’s birthday, and she couldn’t be absent.
However, she was only familiar with Tan Qing, not very familiar with others. Plus the age difference, it was not easy for her to fit in. So she just stood at the door and watched, her expression gradually becoming dazed.
When she started her business, she also had a large number of employees, but they rarely got together like this.
Because she thinks that as long as wages are paid on time, everyone will be united, and team building and cohesion are nothing but metaphysics.
Therefore, when her Jiuhui group left her supervision and went to the University of Science and Technology, Normal University and Polytechnic University to start their business, problems such as increasingly chaotic management, rampant salary-grabbing with nominal employees, and increasingly bloated branch school teams emerged.
Only when she changed from a boss to an employee could she clearly feel that running a business does not mean that everyone will be united just by paying them a salary.
I work in exchange for compensation. We are in a cooperative relationship. I can't sell you my time and my heart as well.
Jiang Qin seems to have his own unique charm. Although he is the boss, he can quickly integrate into the grassroots without any obstacles and get along with everyone.
The most important thing is that his management of the team is subtle.
For example, Lu Feiyu bought a lot of things, and he only bought the expensive ones, which made Jiang Qin stamp his feet, beat his chest and curse.
But he wasn't actually really angry, otherwise he wouldn't have sent Luffy at all.
However, when the boss shows this kind of temperament, the employees under him will subconsciously feel that their boss cares about this matter very much and subconsciously strictly control the financial issues of the team.
For example, before in Shanghai, Jiang Qin always led everyone to grab coupons from competitors.
This behavior may seem nonsensical, but it makes everyone feel more deeply involved in the business war. Even she herself gets caught up in it and immediately becomes elated when she grabs her opponent's half-price coupon.
It was as if everyone had done something bad together, and the sense of team belonging at that moment was so strong.
She didn't know if she had over-imagined Jiang Qin's behavior like doing a reading comprehension test, but she always felt that this was the best state for a team.
"It seems like it's about time, boss."
"You mean the soup base?"
"Um."
"Then let's do it. Leave the door open. Professor Yan will come to visit within an hour. I bet fifty cents."
Dong Wenhao chuckled and reached out to open the pot. The fresh bone soup was milky white and thick, and then he poured it all into the double-flavored pot. He then broke off half of the spicy beef base and put it on the right, and the mushroom soup base on the left, and started stewing.
As the hot pot base melted and blended into the soup, the aroma immediately began to spread in the room, and then rushed out of the door. In less than half an hour, footsteps were heard on the stairs from the first floor to the second floor, and it sounded quite hurried.
Everyone looked in the direction of the door and found that Professor Yan had indeed come here following the smell.
When he reached the corner, he took a deep breath and showed an expression of great enjoyment. Then his old face immediately pulled: "Using public property for personal use again?!"
Jiang Qin didn't care whether it was a public or private device. He reached out and took out a paper birthday hat and put it on Professor Yan's head: "Professor, happy birthday in advance."
"?"
Professor Yan was stunned for a moment, then he realized that the group of little guys from Room 208 had all returned and were now squatting in the room busy with their own things, even his former student, Ye Ziqing.
You have to know that the current 208 is no longer the 208 of the past. Each of these people who are squatting or standing now is a company executive who manages hundreds of people.
Judging from the current revenue of group buying, these people together really make hundreds of thousands of dollars every minute. But today they came back and made a special hotpot for him to celebrate his birthday.
Thinking of this, Professor Yan's eyes instantly became moist.
In fact, the group buying team no longer needs him. Maybe being treated like this will warm even the hardest heart.
"You little brat..."
"Professor, don't be so moved. The big one hasn't come yet."
Professor Yan was invited into Room 207. As soon as he sat down on the chair, he heard Jiang Qin's words. A trace of confusion flashed across his face: "What's so big?"
"To thank you for your help and support for 208's work, I... want to give you a gift."
While Jiang Qin was speaking, he kept his right hand in his pocket, and a slight sound of metallic collision was heard.
Hearing this, Professor Yan's heart skipped a beat. The words "villa key" popped up in his mind. He immediately waved his hand and said, "No, no, Jiang Qin, listen to me. This thing is too valuable. I can't accept it."
"Not expensive, not expensive, not expensive at all."
Jiang Qin took his hand out of his pocket and found his Audi car key. He handed it to Wen Jinrui and said, "Go to my trunk and get Professor Yan's gift."
Wen Jinrui nodded: "Okay, boss."
"?"
Ten minutes later, Professor Yan was holding a box of Lego villas and fell into deep thought.
The most amazing thing is that there is a warning on the lower right corner of the box: Contains small parts, not suitable for children 3 years old and under, be careful not to ingest by mistake.
Jiang Qin stared at Professor Yan for a long while: "Does the professor like it?"
"What the fuck is this called big?!"
"Of course."
Jiang Qin pointed to the box, which said "big" villa.
Professor Yan was silent for a while: "Okay, kid, you have the potential to be the richest man in the world!"
"Oh? Did you hear that? I got Professor Yan's 60th birthday wish for free. He hopes that I will become the richest man in the world!"
"What? No, I haven't made a wish yet! Don't talk nonsense! Besides, where's my cake? I can't have a birthday without a cake, right?"
Jiang Qin clapped his hands upon hearing the voice, and saw Sunai turn around and bring a peach-shaped cake to the table.
But gentlemen are not very interested in cakes, and they prefer eating meat and drinking.
Lu Feiyu had long wanted to pour wine for Professor Yan, one cup after another, and he couldn't stop at all.
Professor Yan stretched out his hand and waved: "A little drink can soothe your mood, just a little drink can soothe your mood."
Lu Feiyu froze while pouring the wine, and looked up at Jiang Qin: "Boss?"
"I've taught you once, why don't you understand? Professor Yan said that drinking five cups of wine can help you feel better."
"Nonsense!" Professor Yan blew his beard and glared, "I am a teacher after all. What would it look like if I got drunk during working hours?"
"It's all 207's fault if you're drunk. It has nothing to do with you, Professor Yan."
Professor Yan was already happy to celebrate his birthday, and couldn't resist the persuasion, so he drank five more cups, then stretched out his hand to block Lu Feiyu.
Jiang Qin also waved his hand: "Okay, don't let the old man drink too much, drinking too much is not good for the body."
Professor Yan shook his head: "I mean five more cups!"
"?"
Professor Yan rolled up his sleeves and said, "I just checked my watch. I'm off work."
Jiang Qin was speechless, and then felt a little dizzy, so he pursed his lips slightly, turned to look at Feng Nanshu, and grabbed her little hand and held it in his palm.
The rich little woman was eating cake with a fork, with a little cream on the corner of her mouth. When she found her left hand was caught, she immediately raised her little face in confusion and looked at him with some doubt.
“Is it delicious?”
“Not as good as roasted sweet potatoes.”
Jiang Qin looked at her serious expression and couldn't help but smile for a long time with his eyes narrowed.
They will also grow old one day, forty, sixty, eighty, their hair will turn white, and their teeth will fall out. He only hopes that good friends can grow old together and no one will run away halfway.
