Du Shaojie's staff was gradually withdrawn, and not only his employees, but basically all his relatives and friends received the "health gift package".

He even gave gift packages to Feng Qingsong, Jiang Cheng, Lin Zhiyuan, Pang Weidong, Xu Bo, Yu Mo, Cai Jing and others, without leaving out any of them.

As for his sister Xiaoya who was far away in Shanghai, he directly sent her a truckload of "health gift packages" and let her and Shen Rui do whatever they wanted with them.

Now, these things that are usually worthless have become popular.

For example, Ye Weiming, who called now, is talking about this matter.

"Boss Du, can you get me some more masks and isatis root? I have no choice but to ask my good friends and clients for help, and it's hard for me to refuse, so please help me."

Now, all these people with good relationships know that Du Shaojie has invested in a sanitary materials factory, and people keep asking him for help.

Du Shaojie didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Bao Youzhi's factory was not large. Under the current situation, how much spare production capacity could the other party have?

"Boss Ye, I'll help you one last time. Don't come to me again in the future. I can't do anything about it."

Fortunately, they are all for personal use and not for resale, and the quantity is not large.

Du Shaojie agreed to Ye Weiming's request and got 100 "health gift packs" for him, while also shutting the other party up.

The problem is that Ye Weiming is not the only one who asks him for help, and he has to put a lot of effort into helping these people.

The catering industry suffered a considerable impact, but fortunately he had a strong foundation and managed to get through it by gritting his teeth.

Bao Youzhi made a lot of money this year, and the biggest gain was that he established good relationships with many customers. The factory was no longer short of money, and its scale had expanded several times compared to before.

Logically speaking, Du Shaojie should have made some money, but this "money-giving boy" had already spent all the profits on various donations and employee benefits, and in the end he still had to pay out of his own pocket.

After this incident was over, looking back, he found that his prestige among his employees and friends had reached its peak, and even many leaders praised him highly.

But for him, he would rather not have these false reputations and does not want such things to happen again.

The return of spring.

Du Shaojie started a new round of inspections.

Business at each store is a little worse than before, but is recovering. Even under such a severe test, Bailian Catering still achieved profitability, but the profit was much lower than in previous years.

This inspection was divided into two groups. Du Shaojie led Luo Qin and others to take the eastern route, while Wu Chenggang led Wang Yongli to take the western route.

After such a long period of training, Wu Chenggang not only improved his cooking skills, but also made great progress in other aspects. Therefore, Du Shaojie gave him the opportunity to be independent, which made many people jealous.

"Boss, I didn't find any major problems here, especially the previous gift package distribution, all stores were able to implement it according to regulations."

night.

Wu Chenggang called and gave a routine work report.

This is a necessary job every day. Although Du Shaojie gave the other party a chance to gamble, he would still give instructions from the side.

"Well, you did a good job. Go to bed early tonight and continue tomorrow."

Du Shaojie chatted with the other party for more than half an hour before hanging up.

At this time, Luo Qin knocked on the door and walked in, holding a bowl of seafood porridge in her hand, which she placed on the table.

"Boss, please eat something."

Dinner was early, so she prepared a midnight snack for Du Shaojie.

Du Shaojie usually has a good appetite, he never gets fat no matter how much he eats, and he doesn't have the "three highs". This makes Luo Qin and Li Yimei very envious, and they usually don't dare to eat at night.

After eating, he called Peng Yongjun and Zou Xiaohe to go for a walk outside.

The local nights are a bit cool, but the streets are still very lively, and there is a night market not far from the hotel.

Many people were sitting in front of the snack stalls drinking. The noisy sounds and the smell of fireworks made Du Shaojie feel a simple atmosphere of life.

He strolled around the night market, not eating anything, just looking around.

"It looks like life is returning to normal and it won't be long before business at each store returns to normal levels."

Looking at this scene, Du Shaojie has more confidence in the recovery of the catering industry.

The few of them walked around for a long time and finally bought some skewers and beer and took them back to the hotel.

Du Shaojie did not call Luo Qin and Li Yimei as they were already asleep, so he invited Peng Yongjun, Zou Xiaohe and Xu Youlian to have barbecue and beer together.

"Alian, what are your plans for the future?"

Du Shaojie has always been very nice to them. Xu Youlian returned to her hometown a few years ago, and her family introduced her to a partner.

In other words, Xu Youlian already has the idea of ​​starting a family.

Du Shaojie would not delay someone's lifelong event. He planned to change Xu Youlian's job after he returned this time.

Before that, he wanted to hear what the other party wanted.

"Whether it works out this time or not, I will still live in Hong Kong in the future. To be honest, I don't feel much about my current boyfriend, maybe it's because we don't have enough contact, so I'll wait and see.

As for my future plans, I am definitely willing to keep working for my boss. As for what to do, I don’t know myself, I’ll just let my boss decide.”

Xu Youlian is not a gentle girl, and naturally she doesn't have a love-minded mind.

She didn't have high expectations for married life. She had traveled all over the country with Du Shaojie over the years, and they had already bought a house in Hong Kong. Although the house was not big, at least she had her own nest.

"It doesn't matter. There are many good men. If this one doesn't work, you can always find another one. With our A-Lian, she will meet a good man sooner or later.

If you get married and have children in the future, you can go to [Dingxin International], or you can be responsible for my security work in Hong Kong."

Du Shaojie is never stingy with his own people, including Wang Yongli, Peng Yongjun and others, who are getting older and it is a bit inappropriate for them to follow him around.

Now Xu Youlian is about to leave, and no one knows who will be the next.

"Thank you, boss! I'll let you take care of everything from now on."

Xu Youlian was very moved. After saying this, she tilted her head back and drank the whole bottle of beer.

Afterwards, she used the excuse that she was a little sleepy and went back to her room. However, when she left, both Peng Yongjun and Zou Xiaohe saw that each other's eyes were red.

"Xiao He, you have to find another driver. He must have a clean family background and someone you know well. Veterans are preferred."

Zou Xiaohe has been driving for so many years and has gained Du Shaojie's trust.

He planned to hire a new driver and then let Zou Xiaohe replace Wang Yongli as Du Shaojie's personal assistant.

Peng Yongjun can't do this job. If Peng Yongjun leaves him, he will stay in Hong Kong like Xu Youlian.

In fact, Peng Yongjun has already started a family in Hong Kong. Every time Du Shaojie goes to Hong Kong, he will give him a temporary leave to let him reunite with his family for a few days.

But this is not a long-term solution, so the people around him will be replaced.

As for Wang Yongli, he is willing to live in Guangzhou or Shenzhen. Du Shaojie will arrange a position for him in Bailian Catering. If he is not satisfied, other companies are also fine.

"Okay, boss, I'll take care of it."

Zou Xiaohe nodded and agreed that he would actively look for a driver after returning.

After everyone finished eating the skewers, there was still some beer left, and Zou Xiaohe planned to put it in the car tomorrow. Then, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.

Du Shaojie took a shower and was about to go to bed when Peng Yongjun came over again.

"Yongjun, what's the matter?"

Du Shaojie knew without guessing that the other party might have something inconvenient to say just now, so he came to him alone.

"Boss, I want to work in that small restaurant in the future, is that okay?"

Peng Yongjun didn't waste any words and directly stated his purpose.

Du Shaojie didn't say anything for a long time after hearing the other party's request. He certainly knew what the other party meant by "small restaurant", which was the restaurant that Zhong Qing opened at the beginning.

The restaurant is just a cover. It used to be Zhong Qing, and now it’s Chen Ji. They all do things in the dark.

As Du Shaojie's confidant, Peng Yongjun knew something.

"Yongjun, now that you have a family, shouldn't you live a stable life?"

Du Shaojie neither agreed nor refused, but was very curious about Peng Yongjun's thoughts.

"I'm not good at speaking and can't explain anything. I just know that I'm very suitable for doing those things and can help the boss."

Peng Yongjun has a dull personality, but he is very proactive and decisive in doing things.

He doesn't want to live a life with a wife, children and a warm bed. Sometimes life needs excitement, and that's what he wants.

"Okay! Don't tell anyone about this for now. We can talk about it later."

Du Shaojie understood what the other party was thinking, so he no longer hesitated and immediately agreed to the other party's request.

There is no doubt that Peng Yongjun is definitely more trustworthy than Chen Ji.

Therefore, he would replace Chen Ji at the appropriate time and let Peng Yongjun be in charge of the work of that "small restaurant".

Before that, he would let Peng Yongjun work with Chen Ji for two years.

"Thank you for your trust, boss! I won't disturb your rest then. See you tomorrow."

Peng Yongjun turned and left the room, and Du Shaojie couldn't help but sigh.

He didn’t know whether the other party’s choice was right or wrong, but no matter what, this was the path Peng Yongjun had chosen himself, and he hoped that the other party would not regret it in the future.

The next day.

The group continued their inspection until half a month later, when they waited for Wu Chenggang and Wang Yongli in Xingcheng and then they returned to Yangcheng together.

This inspection trip is a good training opportunity for Wu Chenggang.

On the third day after returning to Guangzhou, he submitted a report to Du Shaojie, in which he detailed the various problems he found during the inspection and proposed solutions.

Du Shaojie was very satisfied with Wu Chenggang's report and praised him in front of people around him.

"Okay, this inspection has been successfully completed. Xiao Wu, you should go take the exam."

After praising the other party, Du Shaojie put away his smile and immediately urged Wu Chenggang to take the intermediate chef exam.

Wu Chenggang looked at his boss with his mouth wide open. He was exhausted from the journey and hadn't even had a day off since returning. Now he had to prepare for the exam again? (End of this chapter)
