Ants exploded, I opened a power plant to supply power to the world

Chapter 311 310 Mr. Wang Retires

As he spoke, the boss looked outside and saw the shop girl pulling open the kitchen curtain. In the hall behind her, Lin Zhe was chatting and laughing with Wang Zikai and Zhang Chao.

"Boss! Lin Lin... Mr. Lin is here, it's Lin Zhe!"

At this time, the boss had already seen Lin Zhe and the others, and he was stunned where he stood for a moment.

To be honest, today's celebrities were just ordinary people before they became famous, no different from you and me.

But after becoming famous, he probably transformed himself into a completely different person.

There are a lot of people like this. After becoming rich, they try desperately to "wash away" their previous poor selves, as if they want to completely cut off ties with their past lives.

Completely forgetting that it is not a stain, but just the way we came.

It is impossible for me to go back to those fly-in-the-wall restaurants I used to frequent. I have to go to “high-end” places and get closer to the so-called upper class, and I have to be particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The boss is well aware of this. Not to mention that Lin Zhe is now worth hundreds of billions or even more, he was just a local guy who often came here before.

I don't know what kind of luck I had, but I had to pay tens of millions in compensation for the demolition of a piece of land in my hometown.

From then on, I rarely saw anyone in the neighborhood, let alone my own food stall. The only thing I did was change my car, but I would occasionally see it since I live nearby.

That time he even thought about saying hello when they met, after all, they were regular customers.

But when I saw him from afar, he just rolled up the car window, stepped on the accelerator and drove away quickly, as if he was afraid of having anything to do with someone like me who was covered in grease and looked not very respectable.

Later the boss also made some inquiries and found out that people are very particular nowadays, so the restaurants they go to are all relatively high-end places.

They don't even try to get involved in any food stalls or small barbecue stalls, and because they live nearby, they can hear some rumors.

That guy promotes barbecue food from food stalls and that's not healthy at all. We should eat less of this junk food.

The boss wanted to laugh when he heard this. After all, when he was not successful, the meals in his own restaurant were so delicious that he would often ask him to give him two free side dishes.

All I can say is that things have changed and people have changed. The boss is quite open-minded about it. He dislikes me, and I also dislike him.

If a character like this would be like this, let alone someone like Lin Zhe who has become a serious business tycoon with hundreds of billions of assets.

In a small country, that amount is equivalent to the GDP of a country.

Such a person is not only very busy, but also has his schedule arranged, so he didn't expect Lin Zhe to come to his shop.

I only chat with the employees in the store occasionally, such as this girl who is a sophomore from the Polytechnic University and comes here to do odd jobs.

Lin Zhe, now the boss of Zhetong Electric Power, used to like to come to his store with his brothers to drink and eat, and they were all regular customers.

Moreover, he has praised himself more than once, saying that the dishes he cooked were delicious and the side dishes were really good with alcohol.

This is also something that makes him, as the boss, very proud. After all, that person is a very important figure. If he gets his recognition at the time, there will be no problem.

But that was before Lin Zhe's Zhetong became famous. After he became famous, Lin Zhe was busy with other things and never came here again.

It’s not Lin Zhe’s fault. After all, let alone Lin Zhe, for ordinary people, after graduation, no matter how much they like to eat the delicious food around the school, they probably won’t have many opportunities to go back.

Every time I told this story, the guys in the store would say I was bragging, and most of my colleagues in the same business didn't believe me either.

It would be fine if they didn't believe it individually, but it turns out that most of the colleagues on this street are actually "bragging".

When they start chatting, one will say that Lin Zhe likes their family the best, while another will say that Lin Zhe clearly likes their family the best.

No one can prove it, so let's just talk about it as a topic.

But now, Lin Zhe really appeared in front of him.

……

"I... Damn it, Mr. Lin!"

As he said this, he didn't even bother to notice that there was food cooking in the wok. He simply wiped his hands vigorously on his apron and walked out quickly.

"Boss, long time no see. As usual, bring up some appetizers, and a case of beer, cold one."

As Lin Zhe saw that his boss seemed to be hesitant to talk, with his hand slightly raised but not daring to reach out, he immediately reached out his hand and shook hands with him.

The boss was totally unexpected for this enthusiasm. His first reaction was to shake hands, but no matter how much he wiped his hands from preparing meals, there was still oil and dirt on them.

But I can't dirty Mr. Lin's hands, so I'm hesitant.

But Lin Zhe turned around and took the initiative to shake hands with him. This was a big shot. To be honest, under normal circumstances, he could only see him on TV or in news reports.

This also made him very excited.

"Yes, Mr. Lin, it's been a long time since I saw you guys~".

As they spoke, Zhang Chao and Wang Zikai also greeted him with a smile.

To be honest, in the past, Lin Zhe and his friends would come and chat with the boss. But if there are fewer people in the evening, the boss will come over and have a drink or two together.

The relationships I have with other bosses are really incomparable, they are not on the same level at all.

After a few greetings, the boss quickly asked Lin Zhe and the others to sit down. As for the appetizers that Lin Zhe and the others would order while drinking, he already knew what they wanted.

After inviting everyone to sit down, he hurried to the kitchen, and even called his wife over.

"Wife, please come to the store quickly and bring over the seafood in the refrigerator that we have saved for ourselves. I will add a dish for our distinguished guest. When you pass by the market, go to Liu Da Nao's store to see if there are any fresh goods and bring some over."

"Don't ask! You'll know when you get here. Don't be reluctant to leave. Keep it in mind."

After hanging up the phone, the boss took a look at the dish that had been burnt, and hurriedly prepared another one for the customer.

After quickly getting the food out of the pot, he began to prepare side dishes for Lin Zhe and the others.

Apart from other things, dishes like cold pig ears and cold beef are all ready-made. You can just take out the prepared slices, mix them and serve them.

He still remembers his brothers' taste: no onions or garlic, but more coriander.

He quickly arranged the dishes, then called the kitchen girl to bring out the food, and then brought a box of beer to Lin Zhe and the others.

If you come at this time and they directly ask for appetizers and drinks, then you have already eaten. You come here to drink, so you should have some cold dishes to go with the wine first. You can't let them drink it all without any preparation.

This plating also made him use the skills he learned in cooking school more than ten years ago. It would be fine to just arrange the dish casually in the food stall, there was no need to make it so elaborate.

Even when Lin Zhe and the others were there, they rarely saw the boss's knife skills, but today he deliberately demonstrated it.

……

A plate of cold beef, a plate of cold pig ears and a plate of cold cucumbers were served. The wine and side dishes are all ready, and the rest can be done as you like.

A few people also regained the feeling of the past, took out some of the twenty-four-bottle beer boxes and put them on the table, then stepped on them.

At the beginning, let's go first. Among the four people present, only Yan Xi has never experienced such a situation. After all, the living environment is indeed different.

Lin Zhe and the others were reminiscing about the past, and they were all very happy. Yan Xi also found it novel and interesting to follow Lin Zhe, and was happy too.

Four beer glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound, and happy foam began to set sail.

"Great! Today we are going to get drunk and not go home. The driver is ready. He will arrange for you to go home one by one. You must be there tonight!"

Since Lin Zhe had said so, the remaining people naturally had nothing to say.

……

On the other side, the proprietress of the food stall was also hurriedly taking out some delicious food from the refrigerator at home to prepare for her family. Then she hurriedly passed by the seafood store and picked some clams and fresh shrimps before the owner closed the store.

Although I don't know who it is, my husband said that it is a serious guest, so we can't do this again.

After gritted teeth, I chose the more expensive nine-segment shrimp. Just buying a little of this thing will cost hundreds of dollars.

Carrying a bag of things, she went straight to the store, and then saw Lin Zhe and others sitting in their usual window seats.

After seeing this scene, she also understood.

Although others didn't know, she, the proprietress, knew it. After all, Lin Zhe and his friends often asked her for a small amount when settling the bill.

She happened to pass by here when she walked into the store. Lin Zhe and the others obviously looked very happy drinking. She wanted to say hello but was afraid to disturb them.

After thinking about it, he decided to go over first, but at this moment Lin Zhe also saw it out of the corner of his eye.

He immediately greeted her warmly.

"Hey, here comes the boss lady."

To be honest, the boss lady was really flattered by this greeting. She didn't expect that the other person could actually remember her and even take the initiative to say hello.

This also made the proprietress smile, and she even regretted buying more nine-segment shrimps.

"Hey, you guys are finally here. Have a drink first. I'll go to the kitchen to help and prepare some dishes for you later."

……

As time went by, the dishes on the table kept increasing, and Lin Zhe and the others became more and more drunk.

I drank one cup after another, and the box was almost empty after all. They were small bottles, so I drank them quickly.

But at this moment, the four people at the table, except Yan Xi, had already started to stagger.

Seeing that they were almost there, Wang Zikai stood up shakily and said a familiar sentence, "You two drink for a while, I'm going to the bathroom."

As he said this, he staggered towards the cashier counter of the food stall.

Seeing this scene, Lin Zhe did not rush to stop it. This was exactly the same as the scenes back then.

Of course, the difference was that Yan Xi was not by his side at that time, and the dishes on the table were not as sumptuous.

Not to mention meat, even common seafood such as shrimps and clams were served.

In the past, we would usually order some barbecue, and we would drink half a box of beer with a plate of peanuts, which was no joke.

Things are different now, already.

……

In the next few days, Lin Zhe handled the group's affairs in Binhai, while also paying attention to the development of overseas branches, including New York and South Africa.

The office that was set up in Goryeo earlier has also developed and is currently negotiating and looking for suitable land. If it is suitable, we will be able to make the decision to acquire it and build a factory there.

After finishing all these, Lin Zhe was ready to return to Lincheng.

One reason for going back this time is that I haven't been home for a long time and I have to go home and spend a few days to see the world. Another reason is that Mr. Wang is about to officially retire from the group.

This time, Lin Zhe will personally preside over his retirement ceremony.

Apart from anything else, Zhetong would not have been able to start his first step in the small town without Mr. Wang, and now he really wants to retire and enjoy life.

Naturally, Lin Zhe would not stop him, and Mr. Wang was indeed getting older, so it would be a bit difficult for him to continue working.

So Lin Zhe formally approved his retirement.

Originally, according to Mr. Wang, his retirement was just an ordinary retirement among the thousands of employees of Zhetong, and it was just because he was older and was the earliest to join Zhetong.

So this is the first one to retire. In the future, there will be thousands and thousands of people retiring together in the group, so there is nothing special and no need to make a fuss.

But Lin Zhe felt that he still had to do it. No matter what, he wanted to thank Mr. Wang and it would also set an example for other employees.

As long as you are a member of Zhetong Electric Power and work diligently, when it is time for you to retire, the group will still treat you as a member of Zhetong and will not treat you unfairly.

So not only does the scene have to be held, but it also has to be bigger.

Therefore, Lin Zhe, who has always disliked those extravagant ceremonies, also went ahead with the arrangements.

……

Five days later, in Shima Town, Lincheng.

As usual, Wang Shuqing got up from home, washed up, and went to a tofu pudding shop in the town. He had a bowl of hot tofu pudding and some fried dough twists, which made his breakfast complete.

Then he walked to the factory. Today was the last day of his career at Zhetong. After today, he would officially retire.

Including work handovers and other matters were handled early and will not affect the operation of the factory.

Although I had been "looking forward" to this day for a long time, I still felt a little strange when it really came true.

This journey, which was usually easy to walk, became a bit heavy today.

People who got up early kept greeting him on the road, but Wang Shuqing was not as enthusiastic as before and just responded indifferently.

When I walked all the way to the door, I took a look and saw that the door was the same as usual.

After seeing this scene, Wang Shuqing felt relaxed but also a little empty. Human beings are such contradictory creatures.

It seems that Mr. Lin has done what I want. That's good, that's good. We should just go through the normal procedures. It's so embarrassing to hold a retirement ceremony. There's no need for that.

After taking a deep breath, Wang Shuqing walked into the factory, then responded to and greeted his colleagues with a smile along the way, and finally walked into the office.

Really no one came over, and even the people around seemed to be unaware of the incident.
