Chapter 32 Chapter Thirty-Two

One day, after lunch, there were fewer customers. The waiter A Jin hurried to Luo Yueli, who was serving regular customers, and said that an unexpected guest came to the Rose Room upstairs, and he was very picky.Luo Yueli originally wanted to ask the minister to go up, but after thinking about it, she went upstairs by herself. The person sitting in the rose room was indeed an unexpected guest, the long-lost Hua Wanfang, who was lighting a cigarette on the armchair, and the flame flickered.When a wisp of green smoke curled up, Hua Wanfang opened his mouth. Unexpectedly, the business of the restaurant is good.Luo Yueli sat down opposite Hua Wanfang. Fortunately, Boss Hua is always welcome to come and join her.Hua Wanfang flicked the cigarette ash, let's get straight to the point, I am going to open a branch factory, are you interested?oh what can i doNow I can only cook food, nothing else, Luo Yueli said.At this moment, she was very rational, and immediately rejected him. The old Luo Yueli no longer exists. Boss Hua, as the person in charge of the restaurant, I welcome you to come and join me. You are my customer today. What dishes do you want? I will try my best to arrange it for you. There is no relationship between us. You should find someone more suitable.I didn't think it was that complicated, I just suggested that the income would certainly not be lower than that of your restaurant, you think about it, Hua Wanfang stood up, pulled Luo Yueli over, and kissed her forcefully.She pushed away resolutely, she could hear her trembling heartbeat, she had to restrain herself, the sound of Hua Wanfang's footsteps coming down the stairs was like smoke, she could count them clearly, his footsteps were hesitant, she couldn't grasp it its direction.In this city, she and him remember each other in their hearts, without words or contact.His phone number changed, and her phone number changed too. He didn't leave a phone number, and she didn't go downstairs to see him off. Maybe it's better to miss each other than to meet each other.

Luo Yueli's mood was disturbed, she was so busy that she didn't have time to think about things, one by one she jumped out, arousing emotional ripples, causing inner uneasiness, an indescribable feeling, maybe this is the loneliness of a woman.She listens to "Damp Heart" and "It's About Love" every day, no matter how many times she hears it, she never gets tired of it.Sometimes, she stared blankly at the strange people eating at a certain table, and sometimes she also thought, maybe one day, she would see another friend in a certain corner, how happy that would be, every day she would carefully look at each table. A table, no matter new friends or old friends, must send their own smiles.

She imagined every surprise with anticipation.It was at this time that Ma Dongdong miraculously appeared in her restaurant. It was lunch time, Luo Yueli patrolled the restaurant as usual, asking about the taste of the dishes or the service, and suddenly found a figure from behind, so familiar, with his back turned to her, watching him drinking tea by himself.She wanted to go over to call him, but after thinking for a while, she backed away.She went to the cashier and found Ma Dongdong's account. He just ate fast food.Luo Yueli asked the cashier's sister-in-law to give him a 20% discount.My sister-in-law has never met Ma Dongdong, so she doesn't quite understand it, so she either accepts it all or it's free.Luo Yueli smiled, she had her reasons.When paying the bill, Ma Dongdong was very happy with the 20% discount. He thought it was a promotional method of the restaurant. The fast food was fried well and the price was cheap.For three consecutive days, he came to eat fast food either at noon or at night. At noon, Ma Dongdong wore a suit and tie, carrying a black briefcase, and at night he came in casual clothes.On the morning of the fourth day, a recruitment notice was posted at the entrance of the restaurant:

This kind of recruitment advertisement is unique. People who read the recruitment advertisement were all dumbfounded and full of doubts.There were quite a few people who saw the advertisement, but no one who met the requirements came for an interview.At noon, Ma Dongdong came to eat fast food with his briefcase in his pocket. He noticed the red ball posted in front of the door. For job seekers, it was definitely a flame of desire.Taking a closer look, Ma Dongdong was taken aback. How could the height and age written on the job advertisement be exactly the same as his own? He felt strange, so he went to the cashier for a consultation out of curiosity.A service lady led him to the second floor, saying that he was meeting the boss, and opened the rose room, but there was no one there, but a few side dishes, a few bottles of beer, two sets of tableware, and wine glasses filled with golden beer, could it be that he went wrong? house?Ma Dongdong was suspicious. Could it be that the boss was testing his skill in tasting dishes, or asking him to comment on the dishes? This is the first time he applied for a job in a restaurant. He didn't expect the boss's way of interviewing to be so special. Served a dish: steamed longevity fish, placed in the middle of the table.This method is very special, and it seems familiar. Ma Dongdong thought of Luo Yueli's cooking skills. She made steamed longevity fish with green onions and ginger strips under the belly of the fish.Just wondering, the door of the rose room was pushed open, and Luo Yueli appeared in front of him radiantly.

It's you?He was also stunned. The mountains don't turn, the water turns, why did we meet again, she smiled but didn't show, haven't seen me for a year, don't know me anymore? Do you work here, or? Don't get me wrong, I'm here for the interview on behalf of the boss, so coincidentally, how could it be you, this is our fate. After being surprised, he tried his best to keep calm. How could he meet in such a way? It's a shame. Fortunately, she is not the boss, Amitabha!She could see his thoughts, in order to ease the atmosphere, you should be hungry, eat first, don't let the food get cold, after eating, the problem will come out, and the result will be known.No matter who Luo Yueli represented, no matter who ordered the dishes, he was not polite, and started to drink.

How are you going to test me?The conditions for your recruitment are very strange. I think you are just recruiting me. I have no experience in restaurant management. Hehe, it may be that you are destined to be with our boss. It doesn't matter if you have no experience. When I came, I didn't have any experience either. I often think the same way. It’s not about building an atomic bomb. It’s not interesting to talk about experience and shut up about experience. That’s why your boss is very special. This is the first time I’ve encountered such a test. Ma Dongdong hasn't changed much this year, he still talks and smiles like that, and seems to be thinner than the last time we met.The briefcase in his hand and the tie around his neck are enough to show that he is looking for a job. He usually doesn't wear a tie at all. She is right.Ma Dongdong is still fulfilling his dream of working, which is a dream of official career in disguise, which is especially evident in the first generation of migrant workers.

She wants to follow Ma Dongdong's traditional thinking. Our boss values ​​talents. As long as you perform well and work hard, your salary will definitely increase quickly. It depends on Ms. Luo's recommendation. It's not easy to work part-time, and it's even harder to find a good boss.You just treat me as an ordinary applicant, I don't mind, and I don't want to get in touch with you, so please take care of me. Sure enough, he was still so arrogant and domineering, trying to frustrate his spirit.What should I say to make him change his mind?Ma Dongdong is soft but not hard, she was planning to provoke him, I know this, I know you are capable, these years have passed, and you are still looking for a job, do you know why you haven't made progress?This sentence came out of the mouth of his former girlfriend, and touched the sore spot in his heart. He felt disgraceful and his face burned hotly.

He wanted to fight her back, but when the words came to his lips, he held back, and Ma Dongdong stopped the chopsticks for holding vegetables, well, if you don't want to recommend, I will leave after eating, and I will buy the order. For this man who desperately wants face, today she will let him tear off this face as a friend, oh, the boss hasn't seen you, so you go, you have been in management for so many years, where is the value reflected?If you want to go, just go, you don't need to buy it. This time he calmed down, don't drive me away, drive me away, I'm not leaving, anyway, I will eat if I don't eat, and I owe favors.

I think you have grown a good skin in vain. You are not as good as that Jia Baoyu, who even became a monk for Sister Lin. You are far behind. Isn't it an interview, don't talk so far, okay, after eating, you can interview. Don't go to another place for an interview at noon, right?What's the rush, why not chat casually, have you gained anything these days?How do you feel. I'm tired of playing, what else is there to feel. Is it the feeling that no one knows a hero, a tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by a dog? Luo Yueli teased him. Don't flatter me, I'm not a hero, but say I didn't succeed, hey, I'm not convinced.

But in the face of the facts, you have to bow your head, you can't always blame the boss for not appreciating you, you can't always hold the idea that you are not appreciated. You see, in the past dynasties, how many loyal and virtuous ministers have been reused?There are three types of successful people: the first is the stupidest, the second is the most cunning, and the third is the smartest.To give a simple example, I have a cousin with a primary school education, and now he works as a manager in a factory with 800 employees. The boss values ​​him because he does not have much ability, because the boss recruits capable people, either job-hopping, or not being able to do it for half a year. Go it alone, maybe poach the boss's corner.

Don't say it's so big, I don't know much about history, I just want to ask what category you are? Don't look at me like that, I'm nothing, I'm me, Ma Dongdong. Mr. Ma Dongdong, are you ready?Can I start the interview? Come on, I'm used to it. Well, the first question: What are you going to do if you don't apply for a job today? Oh, is that right, it doesn't matter if you don't succeed. I still have a few units waiting for the retest tomorrow, so don't worry about it. Do you usually talk to the examiner like this? Oh, sorry, I believe I will succeed today. This is almost the same, please listen to the second question: What if the application is successful? I just came to work, is this also an exam question? The boss asked the question, I just followed the script.Do you know why your work failed?Let me tell you, right here, you have too many retreats, if you want to succeed, you have to put all your eggs in one basket, and you have to die and survive. I understand this truth better than you, and I haven't admitted my failure yet. Mr. Ma Dongdong, you can't talk to the examiner like this, your tone is wrong.Let me tell you, our boss is younger than you, and Yang Xiaoli is younger than you. Are you successful?Just say, which of the modern popular "five sons" do you have, do you have a car?Do you have a house?Do you have a ticket?Do you have wife and son?A series of questioning, cadenced and ups and downs, made him flustered, like an eggplant beaten by frost—what happened. Luo Yueli hit Ma Dongdong's high self-confidence severely, and Ma Dongdong finally bowed his head and gave in. Don't say it, I didn't succeed, I didn't succeed, come on, I surrender. Surrender, not a man. She stretched out her hand solemnly, Mr. Ma, I will report the interview situation to the boss now, this meal is invited by our boss, please wait a moment. This successful performance completely conquered Ma Dongdong. Luo Yueli couldn't restrain the joy in her heart. She pretended to go to the third floor to ask for instructions, stayed for a while, and returned to the second floor to hold Ma Dongdong's hand. Mr. Ma, congratulations, you have been hired, tomorrow You can come to the restaurant to work, I congratulate you!There was no sign of pretense on her face either, she smiled and said what she said.If you can admit your failure, it means that you have the courage to face it, and that you can change yourself. I have told the boss about the interview results. In terms of remuneration, I will try my best to make the boss meet your requirements. It was the first time for Ma Dongdong to meet such a simple and special interview. He was at a loss and doubtful, as if in a dream. When he walked out of the restaurant, the sun was setting, he looked at the real sky, touched his real face, and looked back at Zuixian Tower 3. With a big gold-plated character, he happily sang the theme song of "Foreign Girl".Luo Yueli was on the second floor watching Ma Dongdong ride a motorcycle to Dongfeng Road. When Ma Dongdong returned to the rental house, he was always pondering the rationality and logic of the interview experience.He guessed that the boss must be Luo Yueli's husband or lover. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to work for the husband or lover of a former girlfriend?Pride ran out and slapped him hard.He can't go, absolutely can't go.But when he thought of what Luo Yueli said, he couldn't let it go. After all, the salary was considerable, and Han Xin was humiliated by his crotch, so why?Professionalism punched self-esteem again, tearing face off.But the face said again, you are really worthless, you chose to leave her at the beginning, and now you are flattering her.Ma Dongdong's thoughts were a little confused, he couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north, and he didn't want to go.However, Daode came out to interrogate him again. What kind of man are you? If you promise something but don't keep it, isn't this a lie? He hesitated, Luo Yueli called, I know you are hesitating, my boss is from Hong Kong, he only comes once or twice a month, you promised me, if you don’t come, I will tell those friends when the time comes , colleague, say you don’t keep your promises, it depends on how you mess around, but I know you are a trustworthy person, you won’t do this, please also remember what your friends said, don’t give yourself too many retreats, that will be success Achilles heel. I didn't say I couldn't come, you know I'm a person who keeps my word, so I will definitely come. Thinking about what Luo Yueli said was reasonable, Ma Dongdong deeply reviewed himself. After working for so many years, he devoted his best youth, what did he gain?Yesterday, a classmate called and said that he raised pigs in his hometown, and now he is a big pig farmer, and he was rated as a provincial model worker.It's a pity, waiting for others to admit yourself, how slim the chance is.I really have too many retreats, so it is difficult to succeed. It is true that I am not married so far because it is easy to find a girlfriend.Don't do it, don't stop, Ma Dongdong packed his luggage immediately. The next day, during the bustling breakfast time at the Drunken Eight Immortals Restaurant, Luo Yueli was waiting at the cash register, looking out while she was busy.Ma Dongdong dragged a huge suitcase and limped here with a bucket and quilt.This damn ghost finally came to his senses, Luo Yueli snickered in her heart, put down what she was doing, went up to meet him herself, helped him carry the quilt, and arranged him to live next door to her on the third floor.The room had already been cleaned, and the equipment had already been tidied up. Only after Ma Dongdong brought his luggage and Luo Yueli arranged them one by one for him, she was considerate and thoughtful before going downstairs to work.Ma Dongdong felt like a duck returning to its nest, and found a long-lost feeling of home.He looked at the small single room, Simmons bed, pink sheets, off-white desk, brand new leather armchair, rose-colored cloth wardrobe, and the floor was shiny.Although the room is small, it is very delicate. It can be seen that the people who arranged it put a lot of thought into it.Ma Dongdong has lost count of how many times he has moved, but this is the best time for him. The breakfast in the restaurant was coming to an end, and the bustling guests dispersed one after another.Luo Yueli arranged for all the staff to gather at the entrance of the restaurant. This was the first time that all staff gathered since the restaurant opened. There were 32 people in the restaurant, standing in two rows.Luo Yueli had never spoken like this before, and she stammered a little, which made the staff laugh.She announced that from today onwards, manager Ma Dongdong will be solely responsible for the management of the restaurant except for the finances, especially emphasizing that when the boss is not in the restaurant, he has the right to fire anyone.Ma Dongdong has been working as a supervisor in the factory for a long time. He is very good at group speeches, and he is calm and calm on stage. The first sound is not a word, but a loud "attention".Although Ma Dongdong doesn't know anything about restaurant management, he has strong language skills and speaks with ease, and the employees responded well. The restaurant staff respectfully called Ma Dongdong Manager Ma, and he felt comfortable to the core.Ma Dongdong's performance at the meeting fired the first shot in managing the Drunken Eight Immortals.Luo Yueli's ability to Ma Dongdong went from admiration to recognition in her heart.Ma Dongdong noticed that the person on the left in the first row was picking his nose when he was speaking, dismissive, absent-minded, and acting like a fool.Ma Dongdong mentioned this person, and Luo Yueli told him that this person is the kitchen foreman, named Yuan Yangping, who opened a food stall with the boss, and has been following him to open a restaurant until now.In other words, this person is a patriarch.In fact, it was nothing, Ma Dongdong felt that he was a little unconvinced, maybe the boss didn't promote him.Luo Yueli knew Yuan Yangping very well, and she didn't want the newcomer Ma Dongdong to have conflicts with him.Luo Pengli said, he is a rough person, I told the boss, he can only be a foreman, the fried food stalls are okay, but the fried restaurant dishes are not so good, the boss thinks he is a veteran, let him One point, make him a foreman.In order to facilitate Ma Dongdong's work, Luo Yueli felt that it was necessary to talk to Yuan Yangping to appease him, and Yuan Yangping agreed very well on the surface. Although Yuan Yangping verbally promised to cooperate well, in actual work, he couldn't do it, and he always sang against Ma Dongdong.Regarding relying on the old and selling the old, Ma Dongdong sees it in his eyes and keeps it in his heart. He often encounters this kind of thing in the factory. To establish prestige and change the new management method, the elders are the first resistance. Yes, engage in hilltopism.Ma Dongdong realized that if he didn't show any color, he would treat him as a sick cat.He made up his mind that the first thing to do was to stop this unhealthy trend, and first of all, he would take Yuan Yangping's knife. Ma Dongdong issued a verbal notice that the restaurant staff would gather once every day after breakfast. He presided over the presentation, mainly to summarize the gains and losses of the previous day's work and make arrangements for today's work.Sure enough, after the notice was conveyed, Yuan Yangping and the eight people from the kitchen did not attend the morning meeting the next day. Facing the public confrontation, the scene was very embarrassing. Ma Dongdong sullenly went to the kitchen to call Yuan Yangping, but Yuan Yangping ignored him at all.He had no choice but to tell Luo Yueli the situation truthfully.Luo Yueli went to call him, and he wandered into the office. Yuan Yangping just stood there, didn't speak, didn't feel deserted, and squinted at the wall to see what you could do to me. Ma Dongdong asked, why didn't you attend the morning meeting? Didn't you see, the dishes were not prepared just after I came back, what kind of morning meeting is there, you have time to spare, we don't. Our morning meeting only takes about ten minutes, will it affect your whole meal? If you say that, are you responsible for the lack of food?Can you do it?Sir, you have to make it clear that I am responsible for the problem. Ma Dongdong was so angry that he slapped the table, Yuan Yangping challenged him and started arguing.
