Du Shaojie nodded without hiding his thoughts.

"Yeah, I'll accept it this time, but who can stand it if it keeps happening? I've thought about moving the catering management company to another place, but I just can't get over it."

"Don't say anything in anger. No one has the right to drive away a good company. Just do your own thing and don't think too much."

Feng Qingsong finally did not hint anything to the other party. Sometimes knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing.

Du Shaojie nodded, and the two of them changed the subject tacitly.

An hour later, he said goodbye and returned home. Home, of course, refers to where his family is, which is the villa he bought later.

However, every time Du Shaojie came to Beijing, he would ask Qi Yan to accompany him and stay in the original courtyard for a few days.

He likes the atmosphere of the hutongs and the ancient architectural layout.

When the couple meet, there is less passion and more warmth. But when they are together, they still talk a lot, with a lot of topics at home and outside, and they can never finish talking.

In the following days, Du Shaojie kept thinking about what Feng Qingsong said that day. It seemed that the other party did not make something clear, and did not even give a hint.

But he had a strong premonition in his heart that the man might not stay in the province for long.

"No wonder my boss told me not to think too much. Under this situation, a smooth transition is the best. I don't need to do anything more."

After all, he has lived two lives, so Du Shaojie understood everything immediately.

After that, he just had a pure vacation in Beijing, spending time with his wife during the week and his daughter on weekends. The anxious feeling in his heart had long disappeared.

That morning, Du Shaojie received a call from Pang Weidong.

"How's it going, Ajie? Have you rested enough? I have a few people for dinner tonight. You can come too. I'll introduce them to you."

Pang Weidong was very busy for a while after returning to the capital, but he did not forget his important work.

There just happened to be such an opportunity, and he needed to invite a few important people to dinner, so he thought of inviting Du Shaojie along and introducing him to these people.

"Okay, where is it?"

Du Shaojie agreed immediately. He knew that this was well-intentioned. Even if he had something important to do in the evening, he had to put it aside and make time to attend the dinner.

"We're going to have dinner at your private restaurant tonight at 7 o'clock. You should go there a little earlier."

Pang Weidong finished his words hurriedly and hung up the phone.

Du Shaojie could understand why the other party wanted to book a room in a private restaurant. Pang Weidong was indeed very good at socializing and he always did things very well.

He then called the private restaurant to ask, and found out that Pang Weidong had indeed booked a private room.

"Return our reserved room to Mr. Pang. I will also be there in the evening. There can be no problems with the dishes. Do you understand?"

"Understood! I'll keep an eye on it myself."

The manager of the private restaurant was very nervous. Under normal circumstances, he seldom got to meet the big boss, not to mention that the big boss was a legend in the catering industry.

After he hung up the phone, he quickly made arrangements and personally informed Pang Weidong about changing the private room.

Pang Weidong didn't say anything, but just asked the other party to pay attention to the guests in the evening and make sure they didn't go into the wrong private room.

in the afternoon.

Du Shaojie went to the private restaurant "Deep in the White Clouds" in advance, inspected the restaurant's various aspects of work, and asked the chef to make two random dishes.

The chef did not dare to be negligent and used all his skills to prepare two dishes that were delicious and tasty.

Du Shaojie tasted it and was very satisfied. He knew the level of this chef, but he didn't expect that his cooking skills had improved.

He was not planning to cook for tonight's banquet himself. After all, it was the first time they met each other and there was no need to do so. He still had some sense of propriety.

at dusk.

Pang Weidong arrived at the private restaurant in advance and met Du Shaojie.

Later, five guests, three men and two women, arrived at the private room one after another. Pang Weidong introduced them to Du Shaojie one by one.

"Brother Tan, I ordered some dishes in advance. What do you like to eat? Can you order a few more?"

The key figure among the five people is named Tan Lin, who is about the same age as Pang Weidong and has an extraordinary demeanor.

Perhaps because of some taboo, Pang Weidong only introduced Tan Lin's name when introducing him, but did not introduce the other party's identity.

Du Shaojie didn't take it seriously. It was just a dinner party. It was still unclear whether they would meet again in the future.

"I don't care. Look at them."

Tan Lin smiled and waved his hand, then handed the menu to his companion.

His companion also refused with a smile. In the end, Du Shaojie added a few dishes and the kitchen immediately became busy.

It didn't take long before the waiter started serving the dishes and opening the drinks.

"Boss Du, your private restaurant is now very famous in Beijing. I heard that reservations need to be made three days in advance. If I come to eat here in the future, I might have to ask you for favors."

"Brother Tan, look at what you said. Meeting is fate, so won't we be friends from now on? My friends' affairs are my affairs, so when the time comes, just come to me and I will make sure it's all arranged!"

Du Shaojie and Tan Lin exchanged a few words and asked Pang Weidong to treat everyone to food and drinks.

After a few drinks, everyone present became familiar with each other.

The two female guests were both young, in their twenties, and didn't talk much at first. After getting familiar with each other, they stopped drinking red wine and toasted each other with white wine.

Du Shaojie was a little surprised, while Tan Lin laughed at the side. "Dongzi, it was you who asked me to come out for dinner, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. If it were someone else, I might not come. I'm really busy.

However, if I hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have met President Du, which would have been a pity.”

Tan Lin is not arrogant, but Du Shaojie can still sense a special temperament from him.

How should I put it? It's the so-called official air.

"Brother Tan, do I have to thank you for buying you a drink?"

It can be seen that Pang Weidong and Tan Lin have a good relationship, and they talk and joke very casually.

Du Shaojie toasted everyone with a smile, advocating less talking and more listening, and the meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.

After everyone had a good meal, Du Shaojie and Pang Weidong saw the guests off.

Before getting on the car, Tan Lin and Du Shaojie exchanged phone numbers.

Du Shaojie was not stingy and gave business cards to several other people as well, and they also left their contact information.

After the guests left, Du Shaojie and Pang Weidong returned to the private room.

"Dongzi, what does Brother Tan do?"

It was not until this moment that Du Shaojie asked this question.

In fact, he would have said it even if Pang Weidong didn't ask, otherwise there would be no meaning in tonight's dinner.

"Brother Tan has worked in both the local government and the ministry. He is very capable and has a promising future. Let me put it this way, the one who made things difficult for you has to be polite to Brother Tan when he sees him."

Pang Weidong gave a brief introduction and didn't say much more.

However, Du Shaojie understood that Tan Lin was not an ordinary person. If it were not for Pang Weidong, he would have found it difficult to sit at the same table with him to eat and drink.

However, they were just casual acquaintances, and he didn't expect others to help him at the critical moment.

The two continued drinking in the private room. In the end, Du Shaojie sent Pang Weidong back because he was obviously drunk.

Time flies.

Du Shaojie participated in many social events in Beijing with Pang Weidong. It is hard to say how much of a role it played, but at least he became familiar with the crowd, so he can probably think of who to ask for help in the future when he has problems.

As for whether others would be willing to lend a helping hand at that time, he couldn't say for sure.

After staying in Beijing for a month, Du Shaojie returned to Guangzhou.

The following period was relatively peaceful. Although there were some minor troubles, they were all resolved without him having to personally intervene.

This is how running a business is. You will always encounter problems of one kind or another. The key is whether you can resolve them.

"Boss Du, the tax audit started recently and we are on the list of key targets for audit again."

That day, as soon as Du Shaojie arrived at the Fish Restaurant, Yu Jianxin called him.

This tax inspection is not targeted at any particular enterprise, but is a combination of general inspection and key inspection.

"Let them check once you've been selected. There's nothing to worry about in terms of taxes anyway."

Du Shaojie certainly knew that this was not due to luck, but he didn't take it seriously.

In the area of ​​bonded goods, he has very strict requirements for his companies and will never allow mistakes in this regard. Anyone who disobeys will be fired immediately if found.

But no matter what, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Then he asked Yu Jianxin to arrange the tax audit work. After ending the call, he called Lin Zhiyuan again.

Feng Qingsong said there probably wouldn't be a next time, but not long after that, his company became the target of a key tax audit again.

Of course he wanted to get to the bottom of it.

"Mr. Du, I know about this matter. No one really mentioned your name. I specifically asked the people in the tax department yesterday, and they explained that your catering company is the leader in the industry, and an audit like this will definitely be on the key audit list."

Lin Zhiyuan had originally planned to call Du Shaojie later, but as a result of the delay, the other party called first.

This shows that the other party is really angry.

So he patiently explained that it was just a coincidence.

"Okay, I understand. I'll come see you when I'm free."

Du Shaojie accepted the explanation and then hung up.

Putting away his phone, he pushed the door and got out of the car, then he saw Wu Dazhui and his wife and a young man waiting for him not far away.

"Boss, I've made tea, please!"

Both Wu Dazhui and his wife have gained weight. Time is merciless and in the blink of an eye, they are no longer young.

"Hello, Mr. Du!"

The young man walked forward, bowed slightly, and greeted Du Shaojie.

Du Shaojie smiled and nodded, then walked in. He did not go to Wu Dazhu's office, but came to his exclusive private room.

"Boss, that's my eldest son, Wu Chenggang. I want you to meet him today."

Wu Dazhu and his wife followed Du Shaojie in, and the young man had to wait outside the door because he did not get permission. (End of this chapter)
