Who would still be a social slave when they are so rich?

Chapter 280 Boss, you must save my face!
For Chinese barbecue, look to the Northeast; for Northeast barbecue, look to Jinzhou!

It was already past one in the afternoon when Su Chen landed at Jinzhou Bay Airport. He didn't eat much on the plane. He just had some fruit to fill his stomach as he was already very hungry.

I had heard of the reputation of Jinzhou barbecue before. It is known as the ceiling of the barbecue industry. I took this opportunity to go and try it.

He told Xiao Peng, who came to pick him up at the airport, about his idea, and then the group got in a business car and headed straight for the city.

What’s interesting is that Xiao Peng is quite familiar with Jinzhou. He specially recommended to Su Chen a barbecue restaurant that is said to be very delicious. It is located downstairs of a residential building and the area is not very big, not much different from a fly restaurant.

After asking in detail, I learned that after the park was unsealed, they specially ran to Jinzhou with several team leaders to have a midnight snack to satisfy their cravings. They didn't expect that the taste would directly conquer them.

Occasionally when I am not busy, I will go out for a bite to eat with a few captains.

As for the barbecue restaurant he recommended, it was recommended by one of the team leaders, and it was said that this was the place the team leader had been eating at since he was a child.

After driving for about twenty minutes, the car finally stopped in front of a residential building.

As soon as Su Chen got off the car, he saw the slightly shabby sign, and it was obvious that it was quite old.

"Dongming BBQ?"

The barbecue restaurant's front is not outstanding, just two sliding glass doors. If it weren't for the sign, you would have thought it was a mahjong parlor or something like that.

Before coming, Xiao Peng made a special phone call. After all, it was already around one o'clock, and if he didn't say anything, he was afraid that the boss would close the shop for lunch.

As soon as Su Chen entered the door, he smelled a fragrance coming towards him. Su Chen, who had been a little hungry, instantly felt his appetite whetted.

"Mr. Xiao, you're here. Please come in. The skewers will be ready soon!" When the boss saw Xiao Peng walk into the store, he quickly asked everyone to sit down.

The entire barbecue restaurant is not very big, only about 40 to 50 square meters, with about ten tables, and it looks a bit crowded.

Fortunately, there were not many people there at this time. Apart from the boss and the barbecue chef, there were only Su Chen and his group.

After they sat down, before Su Chen could speak, Fade Chen on the side said jokingly: "Hey, Mr. Xiao, it seems that the boss has a good impression of you. It seems that you have been here many times before."

Especially when he said the word "Mr. Xiao", Chen Fei deliberately emphasized his tone.

Xiao Peng, who was busy setting up the dishes, shuddered when he heard this. He quickly looked at Su Chen and explained, "Boss, don't listen to what Fade Chen said. I've only been here two or three times."

"And they were all here before. They haven't left the park recently, let alone come to eat barbecue."

Xiao Peng is now very panicked, after all, such a big thing happened in the park before.

If Su Chen misunderstood that he was not paying attention to the affairs of the park, and instead took a few team leaders out to eat and drink, wouldn't that mean that he was hugely negligent in his work!
Su Chen naturally knew why Xiao Peng was so flustered. He glanced at the somewhat nervous Xiao Peng and calmly waved his hand, saying, "What's the big deal? It's normal to eat and drink after get off work."

"As long as there are no more mistakes at work, it's fine. I'll just have to take the loss once. I should be more careful when I go out in the future."

"Boss, please rest assured. Something like this will never happen again!" Xiao Peng breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the matter was blocked.

When Chen Fei heard this, his expression froze. It seemed that his words just now had caused some trouble for Xiao Peng. He stood by and looked at Xiao Peng with apology.

Seeing his good friend's behavior, Xiao Peng smiled and patted Chen Fei's arm to indicate that he was okay.

"Freshly grilled kidney and lamb skewers are here!" At this time, the owner of the barbecue restaurant came out from the back kitchen holding a bunch of skewers in one hand and put them directly on the grill.

Su Chen, who was already extremely hungry, gave the two of them a look and started eating on his own.

If you eat meat without garlic, the flavor will be half as good!
As a foodie, Su Chen naturally followed the local customs. He ate barbecue and garlic with great pleasure.

Later, the boss served a lot of grilled skewers, such as grilled squid, chicken cartilage, grilled silkworm pupae and other special grilled dishes.

Especially when he saw the roasted silkworm pupae, Su Chen felt sick. Although he was curious about all kinds of delicious food, this was the first time he had seen insects.

He frowned, pointed at the silkworm pupae on the table and asked, "Is this thing really delicious?"

Hearing this, Xiao Peng showed a meaningful smile on his face, picked up a string of roasted silkworm pupae and explained: "Boss, this is a good thing. It is known as a gas station for men and a beauty salon for women. It is an indispensable delicacy for Northeast barbecue!"

After saying that, he took two sips and a string of roasted silkworm pupae went directly into Xiao Peng's mouth. You could also hear the crisp chewing sound.

Fade Chen's eyes lit up as he picked up two skewers and started eating. After tasting them, he nodded repeatedly and said to Su Chen, "Boss, these roasted silkworm pupae taste really good. You should try them. They will definitely not disappoint you."

Looking at the plump silkworm pupae, Su Chen's brows never relaxed. For someone who eats this kind of thing for the first time, it does require a lot of psychological preparation.

In the end, curiosity overcame Su Chen's fear of insects, and he gritted his teeth and put a roasted silkworm pupa into his mouth.

As soon as he took a bite, he felt the protein and the crispness after being baked, just like eating egg cake, but the taste was beyond description.

In a word, it’s edible!
Su Chen only ate one of the ten skewers of roasted silkworm pupae, and the remaining nine were shared by Xiao Peng and Chen Fei. After they finished eating, they still felt like they had not had enough.

It seems like he wants to ask the boss for ten more skewers.

The three of them spent more than an hour eating the barbecue. During the meal, the barbecue chef came out from the kitchen in a bad mood, just to see who was so wicked as to come and eat barbecue during the afternoon break.

Seeing the sturdy bodies and sharp eyes of Chen Fei and Xiao Peng, the barbecue chef smiled and gave Su Chen and the other two a circle of cigarettes. He also enthusiastically asked if the food was to their taste and whether they needed more skewers or something.

It was almost three o'clock when Su Chen and the other two walked out of the barbecue restaurant with satisfied looks on their faces, and each of them had a full stomach.

This barbecue didn't cost much, and including the drinks it was only over 300 yuan, which was really cheap and delicious.

When he left, Su Chen said to his boss, "Come often to take care of the business in the future."

The barbecue chef who was packing up his stall in the kitchen felt terrible when he heard this. If he had to come in the afternoon, it would be torture.

Zhengdao Park!

"Pause!"

As soon as the business car drove into the park gate, Su Chen saw a familiar figure walking out of the security room.

The man saw the business car stop and ran over quickly.
When he saw clearly that it was Su Chen sitting in the car, he saluted and greeted him: "Good afternoon, boss. Security captain Wang Gang is on patrol duty. Please give me your instructions, boss!"

Su Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, smiled and waved his hand and said, "Don't give instructions, get in the car!"

I didn't expect that handing over the park's security work to Wang Gang would bring him such a big surprise. If Wang Gang hadn't noticed the changes in his team members, no one would know to what extent this rat would eventually infiltrate. It can be said that Wang Gang's discovery tightened the reins of the park's security that was about to run away, and pulled back the gradually relaxed vigilance.

One of the purposes of Su Chen's visit to Zhengdao Park this time was to reward Wang Gang well.

If there are mistakes, there will be punishment; if there are merits, there will be rewards.

Only in this way can the subordinates see the motivation and always keep the responsibility in mind.

When Wang Gang heard Su Chen asking him to get in the car, he quickly looked at the seats in the car and saw Chen Fei sitting on the passenger seat. He had no choice but to open the back door and sit next to Su Chen.

Wang Gang was still a little nervous facing Su Chen. The more he learned about him, the more he realized how powerful his boss was.

"Wang Gang, where are you from?" Su Chen asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Wang Gang straightened up immediately, "Boss, I'm from Jingzhou, Hubei!"

"Hubei~Haha, no wonder!"

"There are nine-headed birds in the sky and Hubei people on the ground. It seems that the Hubei people's shrewdness and ability are inherited!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Gang scratched his head embarrassedly and said that he was just being extra careful and that it was all thanks to the concerted efforts of General Manager Xiao Peng and all the security personnel, and the credit did not go to him alone.

Seeing Wang Gang's humble look, Su Chen knocked the board down directly.

"Alright~ don't put it off. You deserve a reward for your contribution. Otherwise, how will those people below view you?"

"If there is no reward for such merit, people will lose faith in the team sooner or later, so you must continue!"

Wang Gang also knew this was the truth. Moreover, his boss had already said so much. If he continued to refuse, it would be a bit ungrateful.

"I understand, boss. You have to save face for me!" Wang Gang said seriously.

Su Chen smiled and patted Wang Gang on the shoulder. "I plan to set up a special internal inspection team in the park to prevent the previous rat incident from happening again."

"I am ready to hand over this heavy responsibility to you. I wonder if you have the confidence!"

"Ah~" A hint of surprise flashed across Wang Gang's eyes, and his eyes involuntarily looked at Xiao Peng who was driving.

If Su Chen gave the internal review work to him, then Wang Gang's scope of responsibilities would be a bit broad. He could even conduct reviews on the senior management of the park to a certain extent, which was quite like the Jinyiwei.

If we really agree to it, wouldn't that mean we are seizing power from Xiao Peng?

Su Chen naturally saw the look in Wang Gang's eyes and knew what he was worried about.

Then his tone sank, and he said in a serious tone: "You don't need to look at Xiao Peng. I just want to ask if you have the confidence to take on this task. You don't need to think about other things."

"Yes!" Wang Gang took a deep breath, suppressed his wild thoughts, and responded loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the business car stopped steadily in front of the gate of the office building.

The car door opened, Su Chen patted Wang Gang's arm, got out of the car and walked into the office building.

Wang Gang hurriedly got out of the car, and when he saw Xiao Peng getting out of the driver's seat, he hurriedly walked up.

"Brother Peng~I."

Before Wang Gang could finish his words, Xiao Peng smiled, put his arm around his shoulders and gently hit his chest.

"Do you think I'm a petty person? The boss entrusted you with such an important task because he trusts you. Don't let the boss down!"

Wang Gang could clearly feel the enthusiasm in Xiao Peng's words. He was so touched that he nodded heavily and said, "I will never let the boss down."

"That's good to have this confidence. Please select a group of people as soon as possible. I don't need to explain the requirements. They must be implemented according to the highest standards. The identities of the relevant personnel must also be kept confidential!"

After saying that, Xiao Peng quickly chased after Su Chen, leaving only Wang Gang, who was lost in thought, standing there.

General Manager’s Office on the 13th Floor!

Su Chen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the research base behind him. He found that it was more than twice as big as before, with a dozen factory buildings and three spherical buildings.

Just as Xiao Peng walked in, Su Chen pointed at the three spherical buildings in the distance and asked, "Xiao Peng, what are those spheres like?"

Logically speaking, such buildings should not appear in research bases. Even if they are required for research, they should be rectangular in shape.

"Oh, boss, you mean those three balls? They are used to store wastewater."

Xiao Peng quickly explained the whole story to Su Chen.

It turned out that the research experts sent down from above, when studying the controlled nuclear fusion reactor built by Professor Wu, proposed to directly build this reactor into something similar to an "artificial sun" to provide energy for the development of the entire park.

During the operation of the artificial sun, some water will inevitably be polluted, and these wastewaters cannot be discharged directly, so we have to build a special place to store the wastewater.

When relevant technology is available in the future, the wastewater can be purified.

"Purification?" Speaking of wastewater purification, Su Chen remembered that he seemed to have a water purification technology in his hands.

At that time, I looked at the catalog and it seemed that it included a section on nuclear waste water.

He was just thinking about taking out the water purification technology from the system warehouse, but he quickly realized that it was not the right time yet and he would have to wait for a while at least.

"This technology cannot be wasted. I remember that many of the people at the top of the Forbes rich list in China made their fortunes from water. It seems that I can also participate in this!"

Products produced by the system must be high-quality!
With the water purification technology in Su Chen's hands, can't he compete with those water resource companies?
But this matter cannot be rushed. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. We can only wait and study it slowly later.

"Xiao Peng, go call Professor Wu, Professor Chen and other project leaders over here, and have a meeting together later to discuss future developments!" Su Chen said coldly while standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Peng took out his mobile phone without any delay and called several project leaders.
