Under the dim light, the noisy sounds quickly subsided like a tide, replaced only by silence.
Wang Jingtao rubbed his ears with a look of disbelief on his face. He was a little doubtful that he had heard wrong just now.
Wang Jianshe frowned, stood up, walked to Xu Huizhen, and lowered his voice and said, "Are you kidding?"
Xu Huizhen shook her head and said she was not joking.
"Haha, this is the first time I see a restaurant owner being afraid of a pot-bellied man!"
Hu Jianming looked at Xu Huizhen's embarrassed look and couldn't help but sneered.
He felt that Xu Huizhen must have lost her mind, otherwise how could she do such a ridiculous thing?
This is a restaurant, so why are you worried about customers ordering too much?
He glanced sideways at Xu Huizhen and said coldly: "Comrade boss, are you afraid that we can't afford the money? To tell you the truth, I am a cadre of Lanhua Automobile Factory, and these two are also from Lanhua Automobile Factory. You You must have heard of Orchid Automobile Factory, right?”
"Of course I have heard of it. Lanhua Automobile Factory is one of the largest factories in Beijing, and the welfare benefits of the workers in the factory are also top-notch." Xu Huizhen smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I don't doubt your financial resources, but according to the street office According to the regulations, in order to respond to the call for diligence and frugality from above, guests who come to dine cannot order more dishes than the number of people. There are only three of you, but you ordered seven or eight dishes, which does not comply with the regulations."
She paused and continued: "If you insist, then I can only ask you to go back in accordance with the regulations."
"Holy shit, you bitch, do you know who these guys are? How dare you talk to them like this? Believe it or not, I will close your store!"
Hu Jianming suddenly became furious.
Xu Huizhen was slightly startled.
"Forget it, don't make things deadlocked. After all, these are the rules set by the street office, and we can't disobey them." Wang Jianshe quickly dissuaded him.
Wang Jingtao also stood up to smooth things over: "Lao Hu, three meat dishes are enough. I heard that the plates here are very big, right?"
As he said that, he winked at Xu Huizhen.
Xu Huizhen nodded knowingly: "It's really big. I guarantee that everyone will be full."
"Then let's have a plate of braised pork, a plate of braised pork ribs, and a plate of braised fish!" Wang Jingtao ordered the dishes again before Hu Jianming could get angry.
Then he grabbed Hu Jianming's arm and pressed him on the chair: "Lao Hu, you are not young anymore, why are you still so angry! This is not the past. In the past, when I was at the FAW plant, there was an old man. The leaders are protecting us, and even if we cause trouble, we will only receive some criticism at most."
"Now when we come to Lanhua Automobile Factory, we have to keep our tail between our legs. Even though our comrades at FAW Factory are united, it doesn't have much effect. After all, the important positions are all those of Liu Hongchang."
"Take me for example. When I was at the FAW Plant, I was the deputy director. When I transferred to the Lanhua Automobile Plant, I had to move up a level and become a director."
"However, during the last reelection, I relied on several connections. I thought it was a sure thing, but it turned out that the guy named Liu was the director."
"That guy used to work in a lumber factory, at the level of a team leader. Does he know how to manage a car factory?"
"I see, he is the one sent by Director Liu to suppress people like us at FAW Factory."
Wang Jingtao became more and more excited as he talked, banging the table.
"You are right. Factory Director Liu has actually been guarding against us." Hu Jianming also gritted his teeth bitterly, "Otherwise, after working for so many years, why would I still be just a small employee?"
After speaking, he winked at Zhang Jianshe.
"I see, he just wants to take advantage of the opportunity to torture us to death and drive us out." Zhang Jianshe made eye contact and nodded in agreement.
He said loudly: "If we don't stick together, we will definitely be beaten to death by him."
After finishing speaking, he paused, looked at Wang Jingtao, and said in a low voice: "Old leader, Jianming is really miserable in the office. Even the new woman can only tell him to do things. You have to Help him."
Wang Jingtao, who looked indignant just now, now looked embarrassed.
"I'm afraid I can't be of much help in this matter!" Wang Jingtao sighed helplessly, "You also know that all the personnel rights of our automobile factory are in the hands of that boy Liu Hongchang."
"Hey, my old boss, you can hide it from others, but you can hide it from me! Those of us who come from the FAW factory don't know that in the sales office, your words are more effective than the director. As long as you make suggestions If Jianming is transferred to the second section as deputy section chief, the division chief will definitely not fail to give me this face." Zhang Jiancheng said, giving Hu Jianming a look.
Hu Jianming quickly leaned into Wang Jingtao's ear and whispered: "Director, don't worry, I am a person who must repay kindness, and I am already prepared..."
Hearing Hu Jianming's words, Wang Jingtao, who had looked embarrassed just now, suddenly lit up, "Old Hu, are you almost thirty years old?"
"Yes, it will be thirty after the New Year."
"Thirty years old. You joined the FAW factory when you were eighteen, right?"
"Yes, I am taking over from my father."
"For so many years, you have worked diligently. The ministries and commissions called on us people to start new businesses at the Lanhua Automobile Factory. You bravely raised your hands." Wang Jingtao said with an indignant look: "In the early days of factory construction, you also worked hard. He died and didn't go home for more than a month. Even if there is no credit, there is still hard work!"
"Bah bang bang!"
He banged the table.
"Now the factory is on track and its products are sold overseas. That boy Liu Hongchang has been praised by ministries and committees many times. He has appeared on TV and in newspapers, but you, a great hero, have been forgotten by him! This is really unfair."
As he spoke, his face was filled with the brilliance of justice: "I have no other merits except that I am an upright person. I can't stand this kind of bullying of honest people. Lao Hu, don't worry, I will re-elect next month. I will definitely put your name on it.”
Hearing this, Hu Jianming was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear, "Thank you, director, thank you, director!"
He rubbed his hands together and his face turned red with excitement, "Director, I really didn't expect that there would be such a good leader as you in Lanhua Automobile Factory."
"Hahahaha, I watched you step by step until you are today. As a person, I value standing in the same boat."
Wang Jingtao laughed and said, "I also think about our factory."
Hu Jianming snorted in his heart, probably because of the five hundred yuan!
However, he absolutely did not dare to show it at this time. He picked up the wine glass and waved to Xu Huizhen, who was standing not far away: "Comrade boss, why don't you serve the wine!"
When Xu Huizhen heard this, she frowned vaguely.
She heard clearly from the side just now that these three people are corrupt people.
She hates this kind of people the most. If she were not the owner of the tavern, she would have rushed up and kicked them out by now.
Faced with Hu Jianming's shouting, Xu Huizhen looked at the busy waiters and then at the splendid furnishings, and could only suppress her dissatisfaction in her heart.
"Please wait a moment, it will be delivered immediately."
Xu Huizhen walked to the counter and said to the waiter standing next to the wine tank: "Xiao Liu, scoop out two jugs of wine and serve them to the guests over there."
"Okay." Xiao Liu opened the lid of the wine jar and was about to scoop out the wine, but Xu Huizhen stopped him and said, "Add some water."
"Add water..." Xiao Liu was stunned for a moment.
When Fan Jinyou was running a tavern, he would often add water to the wine vat in order to make more money.
but.
After Xu Huizhen came back to power, she established a rule that she was no longer allowed to sell watered wine in the future.
what is it today?
Seeing Xiao Liu's confused eyes, Xu Huizhen leaned into his ear and whispered: "Those three people are bad guys."
"Ah?! Damn it, it's just too cheap for them to mix it with water. They should add some urine in it!" Xiaoliu was filled with indignation after hearing this.
"You, don't overdo it, quickly add some water and bring it to them, and then tell the chef in the back kitchen to put more salt when cooking."
Xu Huizhen is also a person who hates evil. Although there is no way to drive those people out directly, she will not let them enjoy a delicious dinner comfortably.
.....
After Xiao Liu listened to Xu Huizhen's instructions, without saying a word, he took a ladle, scooped a ladle of water into the wine vat, and carried it over.
Seeing Xiao Liu coming over with wine, the three of them's eyes lit up.
Hu Jianming stood up and took the jug, poured a glass of wine, and handed it to Wang Jingtao respectfully: "Director Wang, come here, I want to toast you a drink. Don't worry. When I become the section chief of the second department, I will follow your lead. You Let me go east, and I will never go west."
Hearing this, Wang Jingtao was so excited that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear: "Old Hu, I'm not wrong about you. You are a talent. Since you are a talent, you must vigorously cultivate it."
After saying that, he took the wine glass, raised his head and drank it in one gulp.
Tsk tsk...
The taste of this wine seems a bit bland.
However, Wang Jingtao had never drank in a tavern or tasted the "original wine". He thought that the original wine was just like this, so he didn't say anything more. He just felt that Hu Jianming was a little stingy.
Hu Jianming did come to the tavern for a drink, but when the wine reached his mouth, he felt something was wrong.
It's so indifferent and doesn't have a strong aroma of wine.
Is this wine mixed with water, or water mixed with wine?
However, he saw that Director Wang Jingtao had no abnormality, so he did not say anything.
After all, today is his treat.
If the quality of the wine is not good, he has to take responsibility.
If he had a big fight with the tavern owner at this time, Director Wang Jingtao would definitely feel that he was unreliable.
A good relationship just established may be interrupted.
As for Zhang Jianshe, he accepted the benefits and came to be Hu Jianming's lobbyist. He had no right to speak, so naturally he would not say anything.
The thing was strange. It was obviously two bottles of wine mixed with water, but the three of them drank happily and praised the taste of the wine from time to time.
This made Xu Huizhen, who was standing not far away and had been secretly observing the actions of the three people, a little confused.
She pulled Xiao Liu who was about to serve the food and asked: "Xiao Liu, at that table of guests, did you just add water to the wine?"
"Of course I added it, actually it was watered down. I thought they were not good, so I filled more than half the pot of water! What's wrong?" Xiao Liu was surprised.
"It's okay, hurry up and serve the food!"
.....
"Come, let's eat some vegetables, braised pork! Look at the color and how authentic the taste is. This is the best braised pork restaurant in the whole capital."
The hot red meat was placed on the table. Hu Jianming quickly stood up and asked Wang Jingtao to pick up the vegetables first.
Wang Jingtao didn't refuse, stretched out his kuaizi, picked up a piece of fatty braised pork, and put it into his mouth.
"Ah, bah, bah..."
As soon as it entered his mouth, he spit out the piece of meat again as if he had been hurt in some way.
Hu Jianming was a little confused and asked timidly: "Director, the piece of meat burned your mouth?"
"Why are you burning your mouth? It's salty, it's too salty!" Wang Jingtao sucked his lips, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Hey, don't tell me, this wine mixed with water is enough to quench his thirst. Once it enters his stomach, he feels much better.
"Salty? No, this is a dish made by a chef. Isn't it possible that he can't even control the amount of salt?"
Hu Jianming was confused and picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
"Ah, bah, bah..."
As a result, his reaction was exactly the same as Wang Jingtao's.
After drinking a glass of wine, Hu Jianming finally came to his senses, with a look of disbelief on his face: "I have never eaten such salty food in my life! Doesn't this restaurant know that you need a salt ticket to buy salt?"
First there was a problem with the wine, and now there is a problem with the meat and vegetables....
He also felt something was wrong at this time and slapped Kuaizi hard on the table: "Comrade boss, come here."
Xu Huizhen was enjoying herself next to her. When she heard this, she walked over in a swaggering manner: "Guys, what's wrong?"
"Come and taste it. Is this wine mixed with water? Is there too much salt in this dish?" Hu Jianming said with a cold face.
Xu Huizhen knew that these two things were wrong without tasting them. Instead of apologizing, she hugged her arms and said, "Comrade, the wine and food in our tavern are just like this. If you don't like to drink or eat, you don't have to drink or eat. But in You have to settle your account before you leave."
Hu Jianming was blocked and couldn't say a word. There is no such thing as customer first in pubs and restaurants these days. That is to say, the service attitude of the tavern is good, otherwise a small note saying "No beating customers without reason" must be posted on the wall to remind customers not to cause trouble for the waiters.
However, Hu Jianming couldn't swallow this breath. Today's banquet was very important to him. If he left in such a disgraceful state, he would definitely be looked down upon by Director Wang Jingtao.
"Bah bang bang!"
Hu Jianming slammed the table and glared at Xu Huizhen: "Little widow, do you really think that I am like ordinary people and can do whatever you want! Let me tell you, I was born in Sijiu City and grew up in Sijiu City. I have many connections! If you don’t apologize to me today, I will find someone to close your restaurant!”
Xu Huizhen naturally dared to tease them and would not be frightened by a harsh word: "Comrade, I really don't dare to bully ordinary people, but I will never be soft on those people."
"? Who is the bastard!" Hearing this, Hu Jianming became anxious and quickly retorted: "You little widow, don't beat me up!"
