Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

The dusk in the capital always makes people feel dreamlike, and the sky is rendered light red by the fire clouds.

People are bustling, and the loud car bells and the noise of passers-by are stirring in the air.

On the streets at dusk, the charming shouts of sharpening scissors and kitchen knives add a bit of historical weight to the evening in the capital.

The tavern next to the Zhengyang Gate should have been bustling with people at this time, but now it closed the door tightly.

This made many drinkers who came to drink a little puzzled. They stood at the door and lingered for a while, and some of them even stepped forward to slap the wooden door heavily. Finally, they saw that the wooden door did not open, so they lost their interest. leave.

In a room on the second floor of the tavern, the owners of the tavern are having an argument about the fate of the tavern.

Under the dim light, Xu Huizhen's face looked ugly.

She didn't expect that the waiters who she regarded as her right-hand man would unite after hearing that the tavern was going to be a co-construction unit with the Lanhua Automobile Factory, and that it was going to become a designated hospitality unit of the Lanhua Automobile Factory and expand its scale. against her.

Xu Hui really suppressed the anger in her heart, and looked at Zhang Jinfang who was sitting on her right: "Comrade Zhang Jinfang, once the tavern becomes a designated reception unit, we don't have to worry about the source of customers in the future, and after the expansion, it can become a big hotel. It's a good thing for our tavern, how can you not agree?"

Zhang Jinfang is a female comrade in her 40s.

She has a thin figure, her hair is tied behind her head, and she looks crisp and neat. She is responsible for helping the kitchen on weekdays and is a regular employee of the tavern.

Although she always has a faint smile on her face, she has a very hot temper.

In the action to expel Fan Jinyou back then, Zhang Jinfang was the first to rush into the street office and make a big noise, accusing Fan Jinyou of his crimes, which aroused the director of the street office's attention to the problem of the tavern, and Xu Huizhen was able to take over the tavern again. tavern.

Of course, since then, Xu Huizhen has also attached great importance to Zhang Jinfang, and will always ask for her opinion on anything.

Zhang Jinfang took off the sleeves and was still on the table. She took a deep look at Xu Huizhen and said, "Huizhen, Auntie doesn't want to make our tavern bigger and better. Auntie knows that the tavern is your ancestral property, so let's make the tavern bigger and better." , is your dream."

As she spoke, she paused for a moment, with worry on her face: "But, have you ever thought about it, most of the customers of Lanhua Automobile Factory are foreigners. We are just a small tavern, in case they get out of here If something happens, then we will be in big trouble. Also, our tavern has never been short of customers, we are a public-private joint tavern, and if we leave us, those drunkards will not want to drink old wine that does not require a drink ticket."

"Under such circumstances, why can't we live a peaceful life in the tavern! Why do we have to make trouble?"

Liu Zhen next to him also echoed: "I agree with Jin Fang's opinion, the tavern is very good now, there is no need to change. Huizhen, uncle is ten years older than you, and has seen more things than you, some things A good job is not necessarily a credit, but a poor job must be a sin, and we don't need to fool around with that factory manager."

"The factory manager is a big man who can earn foreign exchange, and has been featured in newspapers several times. Even if something happens, the higher up will help him carry it. What about us? We are ordinary people!"

Liu Zhen is a fifth-level chef in the tavern, and has always been very prestigious in the tavern. Hearing his words, several other employees nodded in agreement.

"That's right, Comrade Boss, let's stop messing around. We're already tired enough to serve guests drinks and clean up chairs every day."

"Yes, we can't do it every day with just such a little work. If we have more customers in the tavern, can we still rest?"

Hearing these objections, Xu Huizhen's face did not change at all, but her mood became gloomy.

She finally understood why before she left, Wang Weidong said that Xu Hui really wanted to deal with the waiters before the Lanhua Automobile Factory would proceed to the next step.

Unlike her, these waiters are full-time employees, and their monthly salary is fixed. Even if they don't do anything this month, they can still get the full salary.Even if you work twelve hours a day, you still get that little salary.

For these regular employees, the expansion of the tavern will not do them any good.

No.

Not only is there no benefit, but additional risks have to be borne.

Once something happened to those foreigners, they really couldn't escape the responsibility.

In this case, it is reasonable for them to oppose the expansion of the tavern.

Xu Huizhen also wanted to bypass these employees and forcibly decided to implement Wang Weidong's plan.

However, the public-private partnership system currently implemented in the tavern, the tavern is not owned by Xu Huizhen alone, but belongs to all the employees.

In the case where the workers express their opposition clearly, the street office will definitely not approve the expansion plan of the tavern.

After Xu Huizhen thought about it, she calmed down her expression and said slowly: "Have you ever thought about it, once our tavern is successfully expanded and the number of customers increases, the income of our tavern will definitely increase. According to the original operation of the tavern and the street According to the agreement, I, Xu Huizhen, can get dividends every year, and the dividends are linked to the income of the tavern."

"At that time, I am willing to take out the dividends and distribute them as bonuses to everyone."

Xu Huizhen would rather give up her own dividends for the tavern, which can be said to be well-intentioned.

It's a pity that those employees don't seem to be interested in bonuses.

Zhang Jinfang sighed and said slowly: "Huizhen, I can understand your feelings, but in this day and age, too much money is not necessarily a good thing."

"Yeah, we won so many bonuses, it will definitely make others jealous, and those people will sue the street office, and we will be in trouble." Liu Zhen grabbed the chef's hat and threw it on the table, and said sullenly: " Manager Xu, there is no need to discuss this matter, I will not agree to it."

The rest of the workers also nodded.

"That's right, Manager Xu, our tavern is already prosperous enough, if we expand it, some people will be unhappy."

"Anyway, our monthly salary of 32 yuan is enough for the whole family. Now we don't need money for medical treatment or housing. What do I need so much money for?"

"Yes, yes"

Seeing this situation, Xu Hui knew that it was almost impossible to persuade these people, so she had to find another way.

Xu Huizhen raised her wrist and looked at her watch, "It's already past eight o'clock, anyway, it's already late today, so I won't open the door, everyone, go home."

"Okay, Manager Xu is still considerate." When the waiters heard this, they immediately stood up and walked out happily.

When Liu Zhen left, he took a deep look at Xu Huizhen. He always felt that Xu Huizhen had not given up on this plan.

After leaving the tavern, he did not ride his bicycle home, but waited at a corner not far from the tavern.

Seeing Zhang Jinfang approaching, Liu Zhen blocked her way with a bicycle: "Jin Fang, shall I take you back?"

Zhang Jinfang glanced at him reproachfully: "Old Liu, if my family sees it, they will definitely bring you a butcher's knife. Are you afraid?"

Zhang Jinfang's husband is a butcher, nicknamed Fat Tiger. He works in a slaughterhouse on the outskirts of the city.

Zhang Jinfang is in her 40s, and her child is already married. If she goesssiping with that man, Fat Tiger will be so angry that she won't eat for two days.

There are only wrong names, but no wrong nicknames. The nickname Fat Tiger is enough to explain everything. He weighs nearly two hundred catties, his muscles are solidified into a ball, and he is very strong. He can hug a big fat pig of three hundred catties. Get up and press on the chopping board.

Seeing Zhang Jinfang mentioning Fat Tiger, Liu Zhen felt a little scared, and smiled awkwardly: "You misunderstood, I am waiting for you today to expand the tavern."

Hearing this, Zhang Jinfang stopped and looked at Liu Zhen thoughtfully.

Liu Zhen went on to say: "You also know Xu Huizhen's character. Today, under our opposition, Xu Huizhen temporarily gave up the idea of ​​expanding the tavern, but she will not give up."

"Yes, Xu Hui is really a strong woman. The biggest wish in this life is to make the tavern flourish. When she encounters such an opportunity, she will definitely not let it go." Zhang Jinfang nodded in agreement.

"So, we have to find a way to make her give up this idea completely!" Liu Zhen said with wide eyes: "The situation of the tavern is already very good now, and the monthly income is twice that of other small state-run restaurants. No more fussing."

"Also, once the tavern is expanded, Xu Huizhen will definitely introduce many new employees, and we old employees will have to stand aside by then."

"You also know that I used to work as a cook in a big restaurant on Chang'an Avenue. I just didn't want to be so tired, so I applied to be transferred to a small tavern."

Liu Zhen was really worried that Xu Huizhen would play tricks behind his back, so in order to win over Zhang Jinfang, he had to express his selfishness.

Zhang Jinfang is now on the same boat as Liu Zhen, and nodded with deep understanding: "Yes, once the tavern is expanded, Xu Huizhen will definitely get more strength, but we will not get any benefits. Therefore, we have to stop her. "

"It's just that Xu Hui is really a capable woman, how can we do it?"

While talking, Zhang Jinfang seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Liu Zhen.

Liu Zhen seemed to have thought of something too.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and said a name in unison: "Fan Jinyou."

If there was anyone in this world who could really deflate Xu Hui, who was extremely intelligent, it was Fan Jin.

It's not that Fan Jin is so smart, the key is that his moral bottom line is very low, and he often makes some dirty tricks.

When Fan Jinyou was the manager of the public party, he relied on those insidious tricks to beat Xu Hui really powerless, and was finally pushed out of the tavern.

More importantly, after Fan Jinyou was dismissed, he didn't think he made a mistake, and blamed Xu Huizhen for all the reasons.

In his opinion, it was Xu Hui who really didn't talk about martial ethics, turned the table in the street office, and aroused the sympathy of the director of the street office, and then won the victory.

Although Fan Jinyou was dismissed, he would still hang around the tavern frequently, and it was really troublesome to find Xu Hui from time to time.

If you tell Fan Jinyou about the expansion plan of the tavern, Fan Jinyou will definitely try to stop it.

After the two agreed on the specific details, they both felt that it was not too late, and Fan Jinyou should be invited immediately.

In order to deal with Fan Jinyou back then, Zhang Jinfang secretly followed Fan Jinyou and knew where his family lived.

"Come on, let's talk to Fan Jinyou."

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening. There were no entertainment activities this year, and people got into bed early.

In a large compound outside the Zhengyang Gate, every house was in darkness, only the window of the westernmost room was still emitting a little bit of dim light.

The furnishings in the room are very shabby, only a long stool with a broken leg, and a crooked square table, but there is a bright certificate of merit stuck on the darkened rough wall.

The red five-pointed star on the certificate, under the illumination of the light, emits a bright red light, which seems to silently tell the glory of the original owner.

Fan Jinyou lay on the dirty bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, so he simply sat up and stared at the certificate in a daze.

The certificate was awarded to him five years ago by the Street Office in order to reward his contribution to the public-private joint renovation of the tavern.

At that time, when the director of the street office handed him the certificate, he also promised that as long as Fan Jin made more achievements in the tavern, he would be transferred to the district.

In the district, they become official cadres.

Fan Jinyou's ancestors have not produced cadres for generations.

Seeing that this historic moment was about to come true, it was destroyed by Xu Huizhen.

Thinking of Xu Huizhen, Fan Jinyou gritted his teeth with hatred.

Aren't I just adding water to the water in order to get more profits?Use some stinky meat?

Drinking can't kill people, and eating can't kill people. Do you need to sue me?
What, you said that going on like this will destroy the golden signboard of the tavern, and no one will come to the tavern to drink again?

What a joke!
The restaurants and taverns on the main street are now either state-owned or public-private partnerships.

Even if those drunkards went to other places, they could only drink water mixed with alcohol.

If it is not done well, it will be beaten.

At least in the tavern, under his management, there were no unprovoked beatings of customers.

As for the guests who were beaten, it was because of their bad attitude that they dared to yell loudly about mixing wine with water.

Is that a question they can ask?
It's unreasonable for them not to be beaten!
It's really good for Xu Hui to treat customers like her own father, how despicable it is!
If the tavern is still under my management, Fan Jinyou, the cost of the tavern can be saved by at least half.

Hey, the leaders of the street office were really confused by Xu Hui!
After Fan Jinyou was dismissed, his salary was stopped, and he had no food and clothing, and suffered a lot.

All of this is because of Xu Huizhen!
Damn Xu Huizhen!

Just as Fan Jinyou was tossing and turning in the waiter, there was a hasty knock on the door outside.

"Who is it!"
