Fan Jinyou shouted, but no one responded outside.
He thought he heard wrongly and was about to lie down when he cursed Xu Huizhen.
"Bang bang!"
There was another knock on the door.
"Who is it? It's so late and you don't want anyone to sleep!"
Fan Jinyou cursed and sat up, put on a tattered cotton jacket and cotton boots, staggered over, pulled the bolt inserted behind the door, and opened the door.
When he could clearly see the two people standing outside with the help of the dim light, Fan Jinyou's face suddenly dropped.
His triangular eyes also glanced sideways at the faces of Zhang Jinfang and Liu Zhen, and said impatiently: "Why are you two here? Do you want to see how miserable my life is now? Then you don't have to come in. Now, I can tell you that my life is not very good right now."
"You can leave now!"
With that said, Fan Jinyou was about to close the door.
Liu Zhen stretched out his hand and grabbed the door panel.
"What? You still want to take action?" Fan Jinyou was furious, his eyes as wide as bells.
If he could have beaten him, he would have punched Liu Zhen in the cheek by now.
Back then, when he and Xu Huizhen had a conflict, Liu Zhen was Xu Huizhen's gold medal bodyguard, and he was often beaten violently by Liu Zhen.
This chef spends all day working with a spoon, so he has a lot of strength.
Contrary to Fan Jin's expectation, Liu Zhen instead of getting angry, instead smiled and took out a bottle of wine and a bag of peanuts from behind his back.
"Manager Fan, don't be angry. We are not here to trouble you today. We have important things to discuss with you. This is not the place to talk. Let's go in and talk?"
Although Fan Jinyou couldn't figure out Liu Zhen's intention, the bottle of Laofen liquor couldn't be fake. It cost two yuan a bottle in the supply and marketing cooperative, and its price was second only to Maotai liquor.
Looking at Lao Fenjiu's face, Fan Jinyou stepped aside and let the two of them enter the room.
Fan Jinguan came to the door, and regardless of whether there was a place for the two of them to sit, he sat down on the only bench, unscrewed the wine bottle, pointed it at the mouth of the bottle, and took a sip.
As the strong drink went down, his face became rosy, and he became a little bit alive.
After entering the house, Liu Zhen looked at the furnishings in the house without leaving a trace. Seeing that Fan Jinyou was living such a miserable life, the stone in his heart dropped to the ground.
Xu Hui is really not easy to deal with. If Fan Jinyou has a new life now, he might give up the idea of revenge.
Fan Jinyou took two gulps of wine, picked up peanuts and stuffed them into his mouth, chewed them twice, and then raised his head to look at the two of them.
"I'm telling you, you two, you came to my place late at night not just to bring me a bar. If that's the case, I really have to suspect that you have poisoned the wine."
Liu Zhen laughed twice and waved his hands: "That can't be done. Although we had quite violent quarrels in the past, it was just a line dispute and there was no personal enmity."
"Okay, Lao Liu, we have been colleagues for such a long time. I don't know your character, Lao Liu. If you have anything to say, just say it." Fan Jin was also happy at this moment, and the fit of his left leg On the right leg, it shook slightly.
At this time, Liu Zhen did not hide anything and told Xu Huizhen about her plans to expand the tavern.
After Fan Jinyou finished listening, he fell silent and just drank sips of wine.
Just when Liu Zhen felt a little uneasy and was about to speak, Fan Jinyou suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Zhen coldly: "You two are opposed to the expansion of the tavern, so you want me to be the gunman, right?"
"....Manager Fan, don't speak so harshly. I know you really have a problem with Xu Hui, so I thought..."
Before Liu Zhen finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fan Jinyou: "Don't explain so much. I hate being used as a gunman. I, Fan Jinyou, used to be a cadre of the street office. How could I Will I become your bitch? I don’t want this face anymore!"
As he spoke, he became excited and banged the table.
Hearing this, Liu Zhen and Zhang Jinfang's hearts froze. Without Fan Jinyou's help, it would be really difficult for them to deal with Xu Huizhen.
At this time, Fan Jinyou let out a long sigh, stood up and looked up at the dim light bulb: "However, in order to deal with Xu Huizhen, I can't care so much!"
"..."
"..."
Liu Zhen and Zhang Jinfang were frightened to death by the big gasp. When they realized what they were doing, they both praised Fan Jin for his high moral integrity.
Fan Jinyou laughed out loud: "Don't thank me either, I just don't want Xu Huizhen to have an easy time."
"..."
In the cold wind, Liu Zhen and Zhang Jinfang walked side by side, both of them silent along the way.
When he reached the corner of the street and was about to leave the waiter, Zhang Jinfang stopped and sighed: "Old Liu, I don't know if we brought Fan Jinyou in, is it right? Fan Jinyou really hates Xu Hui too much. It’s almost a state of obsession. Even if Xu Huizhen quits the tavern, he probably won’t stop.”
Liu Zhen was also worried about this, but he still said with a smile: "Jin Fang, don't think too much, we are doing it for the good of the tavern. Xu Huizhen can't blame us. If she wants to complain, she can only blame her for having too many ideas. . Under the current situation, the more ideas you have, the more dangerous you are. We are actually saving Xu Huizhen."
The two looked at each other and both knew that they were actually a little guilty and found so many excuses just to make their consciences feel better.
The two nodded to each other, turned and walked deeper into the street.
The road before them grew darker and darker.
...
"What? You mean there is no way to convince those employees and you need my help?"
In the office, Wang Weidong couldn't help but rub his ears after hearing Xu Huizhen's request.
He did expect that the waiters in the tavern would not support the renovation plan like Xu Huizhen did.
But he didn't expect that Xu Huizhen would be unable to deal with those people.
Although those people were formal employees and could not be easily touched, as the manager of the tavern, Xu Huizhen had 10,000 ways to deal with them.
It seems that this strong woman's heart is far less hard-hearted now than later.
Xu Hui was so embarrassed that she couldn't even raise her head. She could only pull at the hem of her clothes and explain: "Those employees are all old employees of the tavern. In the past, when the tavern was in trouble, I was able to survive thanks to them. If I had to I can't do anything to them."
Wang Weidong frowned slightly and started thinking.
Now Lanhua Automobile Factory has become the largest factory in the capital, recruiting employees in every neighborhood, and paying profits and taxes in the millions every year.
If he came forward to request the sub-district office to forcibly pass the renovation plan, the sub-district office would definitely reject it.
but.
Wang Weidong was not prepared to help Xu Huizhen.
In this era, the process of expanding a tavern into a large hotel, including the subsequent operation of the hotel, is a road full of thorns.
If Xu Hui really couldn't be ruthless, she wouldn't be able to successfully run a big hotel.
After thinking about this, Wang Weidong stood up and said calmly: "Comrade Xu Huizhen, this is only the first step. If you feel that you really can't take this step, I think there is no need for us to cooperate."
Hearing this, Xu Huizhen was shocked and stood up suddenly: "Director, don't worry, I promise to get the employees of the tavern to agree to the renovation plan in the shortest possible time!"
Xu Huizhen knew very well that only by cooperating with Wang Weidong could the bistro flourish.
How could she give up when she encountered such a good opportunity?
If anyone dares to block her way, she will definitely kick that person away without mercy!
Looking at Xu Huizhen who was full of fighting spirit, Wang Weidong narrowed his eyes slightly: "Then I wish you immediate success!"
.....
After returning to the tavern.
Xu Huizhen immediately held a plenary meeting in the tavern.
She announced more than thirty disciplines at the meeting, which regulated the operation of the tavern in all aspects.
】
For example, if you are late once, your bonus for this month will be deducted.
For example, slacking off during working hours and reporting criticism.
For example, chatting in the waiter at work and reading out a letter of apology in front of all employees.
....
After hearing these more than 30 rules of discipline, all the employees' faces turned pale with fear.
They knew that this was a retaliatory action launched by Xu Huizhen in retaliation for their failure to support the expansion plan.
but.
They just couldn't blame Xu Huizhen.
After all, these regulations are reasonable. Even if they file a complaint with the subdistrict office, the director of the subdistrict office will not support them.
Liu Zhen looked at Xu Huizhen who was going his own way and felt a little anxious.
Why doesn't Fan Jin take action if he has this guy?
....
Fan Jinyou, who was worried about Liu Zhen at this time, did not appear near Zhengyangmen, but quietly appeared outside a small alley outside Dongzhimen.
He looked furtively into the alley, and when he saw that the figure did not appear in the depths of the alley, he seemed a little anxious.
He whispered in a low voice: "That guy can't lie to me, right? What kind of hotel can there be in this place?"
....
Since Fan Jinyou was dismissed from his post, his salary has been suspended.
Without food and clothing, his life suddenly fell into trouble.
At this time, Huang San, an old friend from the past, suddenly found him and asked him to help matchmaking.
Fan Jinyou wanted to reject Huang San at that time, because Huang San was a subordinate of a Buddha who specialized in some gray business of collecting and selling stolen goods.
He, Fan Jinyou, had worked as a street clerk before, so how could he hang out with such a person?
However, after being hungry for two days, Fan Jinyou took the initiative to find Huang San and asked what matchmaking was.
Huang San knew Fan Jin's background. This guy looked like a human, but he was full of evil. He was very suitable for this job.
So I told him the details.
The so-called matchmaking is to help Huang San find the person who sells the stolen goods, and then collect the stolen goods according to the price specified by Huang San and transfer them to Huang San.
Then, the stolen goods are sold to the buyer at the price specified by Huang San.
After the business is completed, Fan Jinyou can get 10% of the profit.
Fan Jinyou was a smart man, and he immediately understood that this job was actually to protect Huang San from the knife.
Those who engage in this kind of gray business are most afraid of being targeted by the police station and street office, so they are very careful.
However, how can one avoid getting his shoes wet when he is in the arena?
As long as you are in the business of collecting and selling stolen goods, you will be discovered one day.
So, Huang San came up with a way to find someone to step in instead.
In this way, Fan Jinyou became the one who collected and sold stolen goods. Even if the matter was exposed, Fan Jinyou was the one who was arrested.
Of course, Fan Jin could accuse Huang San of being the mastermind behind the scenes, but without evidence, the comrades at the police station had nothing to do with Huang San.
Huang San spent 10% of his profit to buy safety.
Fan Jinyou exchanged his own safety for 10% of the profits.
Fan Jin agreed without much hesitation.
Years of pampering have made it impossible for him to earn money through labor like an ordinary worker.
He needs an unearned job.
....
Just this morning, Fan Jinyou had planned to go to the tavern to find Xu Huizhen.
Suddenly, I received a notice from Huang San, saying that there was a private restaurant in this alley and he was preparing to sell off his belongings.
Considering that work was urgent, Fan Jinyou changed his route and came to the small alley.
However, after waiting here for two full hours, he didn't see anyone connecting.
"Did Huang San be deceived?"
"No matter, I've been waiting for so long, even if I leave, Huang San has nothing to say!"
Just when Fan Jinyou was about to leave the alley and go to the tavern, suddenly a young man walked out of the alley.
Hearing the noise, Fan Jinyou stopped again and hid behind the big tree.
The young man walked to the entrance of the alley and looked around. When he saw no one, he scratched his head in annoyance.
"Isn't it said that Huang San is the most trustworthy Buddha in the capital? Why hasn't he come yet?"
Hearing Huang San's name, Fan Jinyou was sure that the young man in front of him with a somewhat disabled right leg was the one who came to negotiate a deal with him.
It's just...how could this guy be so young?
In this era, it is not an easy task to open a private restaurant under the nose of the street office.
In addition to having strong capital and the means to purchase ingredients, you also need to have enough connections.
Otherwise, not only will we not be able to attract customers, we will also be reported.
Fan Jinyou briefly thought about it and figured out that this guy must be a "substitute messenger" just like himself.
Fan Jinyou stepped out from behind the big tree and said softly: "The king of heaven covers the tiger of earth."
Banggeng was startled by his sudden appearance. After he recovered, he hurriedly replied: "The pagoda suppresses the river demon!"
This is a slang phrase in "Lin Hai Xue Yuan" published in 1957.
The story is that before liberation, a small team of the Northeastern Democratic Alliance Army, led by the regiment's chief of staff Shao Jianbo, went deep into the forest and snowy fields to carry out the task of suppressing bandits. The reconnaissance hero Yang Zirong battled wits and courage with the bandit gang in Weihu Mountain. story.
Once published, it has been loved by young people, especially the slang and incisions in it, which have become a must-have code for young men and Buddhists.
When meeting someone, it feels a little strange if you don't tell them the secret code.
Because many people know this secret code.
So the secret code actually has no effect, it is just used to set off the atmosphere.
Fan Jinyou walked up to Banggeng and asked, "Young man, are you Ma Wu?"
Banggeng hummed and asked, "Are you Huang San?"
"right."
Fan Jinyou is not a fool. Don’t you Huang San want me to be a scapegoat? Then I will report your name during the transaction.
Even if you are caught, I will disgust you.
....
