Chapter 213 The voice under the bed (4000 words chapter)(1/2)
Zhou Kai's desire to win over Chen Chong and others could naturally feel it. Not to mention whether it will be successful in the end, this sincere attitude makes people feel very comfortable.
They met too many sinister people today, and Zhou Kai's appearance seemed unique at this moment.
"Boss Zhao, don't worry, as long as you come to open a branch, I guarantee that the boss of the ancient town will definitely give a lot of conditions." Zhou Kai looked expectant.
Now what is in front of you is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! He witnessed with his own eyes how the delicious square drove away Zhao Si, and also knew that the square merchants led by Liu Yuan were all very excluded Zhao Si. Therefore, when he extended an olive branch to Zhao Si at this time, the chance of success would be very high!
You should know that no matter from any aspect, Longjiang Ancient Town will be the best choice. Because of this, Zhu Zhiguo from Qingshan Harbor is very self-aware and has no way to make a move.
Furthermore, Zhao Si's strength is obvious to all. Being able to advance to the second round and rank seventh in difficult circumstances is in itself a condition for wining over, not to mention that behind him, there is Chen Chong who rises like a comet!
Zhou Kai only regrets that he is not the ruler of Longjiang Ancient Town, otherwise he would immediately give out various real conditions and continue to increase the probability of success!
At the same time, Liu Yuan's face on the other side was getting ugly, and he felt like he had become a clown, surrounded by a group of aunts watching the fun, pointing fingers, and from time to time, he had to pull his hair a few times, which was crazy. In short, who would know this kind of aggrievance.
Originally, he wanted to come over to find a sense of existence and superiority, but unexpectedly, this accident happened. As a result, Zhao Si and others knew the truth that they were almost driven away by Meng Qiang, and they were really embarrassed.
"Walk!"
Liu Yuan turned around and left with the man, without any idea of regaining the situation.
He knew that with Zhou Kai and Zhu Zhiguo entering the delicious square, he could no longer do whatever he wanted here as before. If he accidentally offended these two people, then what awaited him would probably be completely expelled.
The delicious square is a treasure land. If he leaves it, he is nothing!
As Liu Yuan and others left, the onlookers gradually dispersed and the restaurant returned to normal. But what is interesting is that because of the lively moment, many pedestrians became interested in the food stalls, and they came to visit them one after another, and even lined up in long queues.
Seeing this, Zhao Si could only shake his head helplessly, and then greeted Chen Chong and others to continue eating. Of course, Zhou Kai and Zhu Zhiguo were also there.
Zhou Kai's proposal made him moved, not because of some tempting conditions, but to give this group of employees who have helped him for many years a stable working environment.
He is a kind person, he used to be, now he is, and he will still be in the future.
On this basis, he also has his own ambition, which is to let merchants who have eaten in the whole square see. Without this treasure land, Zhao Si can still gain a foothold in Longjiang, and even make them jealous!
This is not impossible. As long as you get closer to Chen, learn more about cooking experience!
Thinking back, Chen Chong just taught him how to distinguish the method of making dragon li fish and old oil... and sent him into the second round that countless people have always dreamed of!
What if I learned some complete craft?
Don’t forget that Fatty Li’s repeat customer has risen, this is a living example!
...
Back at the private room, Zhao Si agreed to Zhou Kai's invitation and also spoke to the big boss of the ancient town. It was basically reached an agreement. He just waited for the game to end and started to deal with the relocation matter.
As for Chen Chong, he politely refused.
The reason is very simple. Although his business is booming now, the restaurant is actually in a mess and the daily tasks are still to be completed, so he has no idea of opening a branch or something.
In this regard, Zhou Kai could only express his helplessness and did not continue to persuade him to avoid being annoying.
Next, everyone completely let go of their tempers, eating vegetables, drinking alcohol, and completely immersed in the process of enjoying the food.
During this period, Chen Chong failed to resist the lobbying of Fatty Li, Zhou Kai and others. He was fed a few glasses of wine, and then competed with Li Xiang, playing boxing and drinking, and everything came, but his cheeks turned red after drinking.
The happy dinner lasted until around 10:30 in the evening, and when Chen Chong and others returned to the hotel, another half an hour passed.
"Everyone, I can't stand it anymore, so I'll go back to my room first."
Fatty Li burped in the elevator, and the pungent smell almost made others faint on the spot. He walked out of the elevator and lifted the entire elevator upwards.
"Okay, it's almost done." Qiu Tong waved impatiently and quickly closed the elevator door, and the elevator door continued to move upwards.
The hotel is quite large. Except for the lobby on the first floor and the banquet hall on the second floor, the remaining floors are all rooms. Because the hotel is in a good location and the occupancy rate is very high, when Chen Chong and the others came to book, they could hardly book rooms on the same floor.
And Fatty Li, who just left, was on the third floor.
bite.
"We are under this floor." Hu Er's fat man, Qiu Tong, and Zhou Charlie's room was on the fourth floor. After the elevator door opened, he rushed out immediately. It was probably because he had drunk too much and was worried about the 'live broadcast'.
Aunt Bai closed the elevator.
"I can't tell, are you quite able to drink?" Li Xiang joked. When we were having dinner, everyone on the table drank a lot, but it turned out that Chen Chong was the most sober.
"You are not bad either, your face has not changed." Chen Chongshun's smell of alcohol stuck in his throat did not spit it out on the spot like Fatty Li.
"Of course, I don't look at who I am." Li Xiang stood up with a proud breast, quite contented.
"I've opened a dyeing workshop for you." Chen Chong was speechless.
"Oh, if you are not convinced, let's find another place to drink? Anyway, Longjiang City has never shortage of bars." Li Xiang said seriously.
"Okay, my sister, Xiao Chen will participate in the competition tomorrow, so how can I continue to drink?" Aunt Bai angrily said. When the elevator arrived at the fifth floor, she pulled Li Xiang, who was still trying to talk, and before leaving, she reminded Chen Chong to have a good rest.
"call."
Seeing this, Chen Chong breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to reach out to close the elevator door, a person came out from behind and pressed the "Close" button first.
This suddenly scared him. When he turned around, he found that it was the middle-aged man in suit and tie who had set out with everyone this morning. He was named Jin Cheng, who was Li Jianbang's assistant.
This person's personality is probably the kind of taciturn. He didn't even say a few words during the dinner just now, which led to Chen Chong almost forgetting him.
Jincheng nodded at Chen Chong and stood behind again.
"Which floor is your room?" Chen Chong asked with a smile to relieve his embarrassment.
"On the ninth floor." Jin Cheng smiled slightly, "Where are you?"
"I'm on the fifteenth floor, which is quite far away." Chen Chong replied.
"It's indeed quite far. It seems that there are many people entering this hotel today." Jincheng nodded.
"Yes." After Chen Chong finished speaking, in order to avoid a cold incident, he changed the subject and asked: "You should have worked in their Li Group for many years, right?"
"Well, it's almost five years," Jin Cheng said for a moment.
"Then what job do you do usually?" Perhaps it was alcohol, Chen Chong almost thought of asking what he asked.
"It's nothing. It's mainly about completing the matters ordered by Chairman Li and then assisting him in handling some group business work." Jincheng pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, "But then, I haven't seen you in the food street before. Has he just settled in recently?"
"No, I moved in half a year ago." Chen Chong shook his head.
"Most half a year ago?" Jin Cheng frowned, "I went to the food street to see it two months ago, but I didn't seem to see you."
"Oh, that's because...uh...that's because I was busy with other things in the first half of the year, so I didn't care about the development of the restaurant." Chen Chong almost said, 'That's because the restaurant business is poor and not eye-catching'. Fortunately, the reaction was fast enough and he quickly got back.
If he said that, he would guarantee that Jincheng would definitely be suspicious. After all, based on the current situation of the restaurant, it would be impossible for him to be silent no matter how bad the business was before.
"That's it." Jin Cheng nodded, reached out and flipped through his briefcase, not knowing what he was looking for.
"Have you lost something?" Chen Chong asked.
"No, I'll look for a room card." As soon as Jincheng finished speaking, the electronic sound rang. The two looked up and saw that it was the ninth floor.
"Have you found it?" Chen Chong asked.
"Ha, I found it." Jin Cheng was holding the room card in his hand when he pulled out of his briefcase, and he smiled and shook it, "Then I'll leave first, you can rest early."
"Okay." Chen Chong felt relieved and quickly pressed the 'Close' button.
To be honest, although he is easy-going on weekdays, he is actually very cold at heart, especially when facing strangers, he almost doesn't try to stop talking, because there is nothing to say.
But Jin Cheng is different. He is Li Jianbang's assistant. Both sides were having dinner on the same table just now. With eyes facing each other, it was too embarrassing not to speak.
Fortunately, this embarrassment ended...
belch!
Chen Chong finally burped in the elevator alone, and he felt much more comfortable.
Then, relax your body and let the alcohol scent hit the top of your head. Anyway, you are about to approach the target floor, so you don’t have to tighten your nerves anymore.
bite.
After waiting for nearly ten seconds, the fifteenth floor arrived. As the elevator door opened, the white light inside illuminated the carpeted corridor, and the dim lights on both sides of the corridor created a quiet atmosphere.
Sniff.
The moment he stepped out of the elevator door, Chen Chong couldn't help but twitch his nose twice, as if he smelled a very light fragrance.
Not in the corridor, but in the elevator.
He had been standing in the elevator for so long before and didn't smell it. Instead, he smelled it when he was about to leave the elevator.
"Maybe it's the perfume smell on Li Xiang or Aunt Bai..."
He shook his head uncertainly and didn't take it to heart. He then walked out of the elevator and stepped on the street stall without making any sound.
The floor layout is in the shape of the "OK" with the elevator and fire passage in the middle, while all rooms are on the left and right sides.
His room is ‘1528’, and there is a corridor on the left.
Chen Chong stood at the fork in the corridor and looked at the sign on the opposite wall. The left side leads to 1501-1513 and the right side leads to 1515-1530.
There is no room 1514, because it is not auspicious to have a number with 4, so he is no longer surprised.
When Chen Chong took out the room card from his pocket and was about to confirm the room number again, his eyes suddenly blurred, his legs became weak, and he fell obliquely toward the side!
Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and reached out to hold the wall, so he did not fall down.
But the forehead was already sweating, and the feeling of weakness all over my body rushed to my brain like a tide. The room card in my hand appeared in my eyes, and it became more and more apart.
To be continued...
