Film and television urban drama starts from Nothing But Thirty

"Jingru Jingru, open the door."

Inside the house, Chen Fang was very sensitive to sounds, and he woke up immediately when he heard the voice. At first he didn't know who it was, but when he heard it was a girl... it turned out to be Qin Huairu. Chen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Xu Damao had come home. In that case, he had to kill Xu Damao.

After thinking about it, I decided to wake Qin Jingru up. It was not right for Qin Huairu to keep screaming outside.

He pushed Qin Jingru in his arms. At first, she didn't wake up because she had just been through a big battle and was very tired. She continued to act coquettishly in Chen Fang's arms.

"Honey, stop it. I need to go to bed." She thought Chen Fang was going to do something again.

Seeing this, there was nothing he could do but wake her up by force. "Don't sleep. Your sister is looking for you outside. It looks like something happened."

Qin Jingru was terrified when she heard this, thinking that their affair had been discovered, and she looked at Chen Fang with wide eyes.

"Don't worry, there are only them outside. They are probably here to ask you for something." Seeing Qin Jingru's worry, Chen Fang comforted her.

Qin Jingru was terrified at this time. If she was caught by others, she would be doomed. But she didn't care. After all, she was a married woman and Xu Damao was not at home. Who could do anything to her?

"Okay, I'll get up and take a look first." Qin Jingru got up and prepared to put on her clothes. During this time, Chen Fang took advantage of her many times, making her face blush.

At this time, Qin Jingru also walked to the door, but did not open it.

"Sister, what's the matter so late at night?" There was a lot of dissatisfaction in her tone. Qin Huairu didn't think much about it. Anyone would be unhappy to be woken up so late at night.

"Oh, that Jingru! Can you open the door? I'll come in and tell you."

"Sister, if you have something to say, just say it here. I still need to sleep!" How could Qin Jingru let her in? Wouldn't the truth be exposed?

"No, it's better to talk to your face."

Qin Jingru hesitated and didn't answer, but Qin Huairu outside the door found something wrong. Her sister was home alone, what was she afraid of? She was also a woman, so was there someone hiding at home?

"Is there someone hiding in your house?" Qin Huairu asked suspiciously. She knew that her sister was not an easy person to deal with.

Qin Jingru had no choice but to open the door. Fortunately, Chen was in the bedroom. It was impossible for Qin Huairu to go into the bedroom.

After entering the room, Qin Jingru said unhappily, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. It's the middle of the night."

Qin Huairu looked around, as if trying to find out who was coming, but by this time Chen Fang had already climbed out of the window, just in case.

"Well, Jingru! Banggeng and Shazhu are both unemployed... They can't rest peacefully at home every day. Your sister's salary alone is not enough to take care of the whole family!"

Qin Huairu complained about her grievances, and it looked like she was about to go out to beg for food.

Qin Jingru also understood that this person came to borrow money from her. In the past, this would definitely not work, but today, she just wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.

"Tell me, how much money do you want to borrow? I don't have more than that!" Qin Jingru is not short of money now. The money she has is in the thousands. Besides, how can she be poor if she follows Chen Fang?

"How about five hundred yuan? Don't worry, I will definitely pay it back to you..." Qin Huairu said loudly.

This guy is really good at talking. He asked for 500 yuan right away without even thinking about how much she earns in a month.

"Okay, I'll get it for you, but you have to write me an IOU."

"no problem!"

Seeing Qin Jingru agreed so readily, she was also suspicious. Could it be that it was really as she guessed? After writing the IOU and getting the money, her eyes rolled.

"Jingru, Xu Damao is not at home anyway, so why don't we sisters get together today and strengthen our relationship?" Qin Huairu was just looking for an excuse to go into the bedroom to see what was going on.

After saying that, she walked towards the bedroom. Qin Jingru hurriedly stopped her, "Sister, you can't go in..." But Qin Jingru was still a step too late, Qin Huairu had already gone in.

Seeing that the bedroom was empty and there was no one there, Qin Huairu was curious about why her sister was so nervous. The bedrooms nowadays were not like those in later generations, where people could hide in big closets or under beds. Now they could be seen clearly.

"Jingru, why are you so nervous? Go to sleep! Your sister and I want to chat with you," Qin Huairu said with a smile.

Qin Jingru breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Chen Fang was not in the bedroom. Fortunately, he left early, otherwise she would have been caught red-handed. Qin Jingru hated her cousin even more in her heart.

"What are you talking about? I'm very sleepy. I'm going to bed first."

...

The next day, Qin Jingru told Chen Fang what happened last night. Did Qin Huairu discover something, or did she want to blackmail him?

"Don't worry about her. Your sister likes to take advantage of others..."

"Okay, as long as you know what to do. I still have to go to work," Qin Jingru said and prepared to leave. After taking such a long leave, it was time for her to go to work.

"How about this? I'll find you an easier job at the Investment Promotion Office. How about a job where you don't have to stand for so long and sit in the office every day?"

Qin Jingru is his woman after all, so he should care about her accordingly. If he doesn't bring her to his company, it must be because it's inconvenient.

"Okay, okay. To be honest, I haven't wanted to go to the department store for a long time. I stand for so long every day..." Qin Jingru originally thought that following Chen Fang would mean more material and financial support, but she didn't expect that he would also help her find a new job.

Thinking of this, she had to thank him properly in the evening. "I can't go there at night. I'll just stay here." After saying that, Qin Jingru also left for work.

...

Yu Li has almost finished setting up the hot pot restaurant. The shop and the tables, chairs and benches are all ready, but she still needs to find a few waiters and a chef to cut vegetables. As for the chef, Chen Fang said that's not necessary as there are ready-made base ingredients.

She didn't know what kind of hot pot restaurant Chen Fang was thinking of. It didn't even require a chef. She didn't even know there was such a thing as ready-made bagged hot pot base.

She took some time to go back home and learned that her sister Yu Haitang had actually had a blind date with Chen Fang, and she immediately became curious.

"Haitang, I heard that you were on a blind date with my boss. How was your conversation with Chen Fang?" She wanted them to be together the most. That way, she and Chen Fang would become relatives.

Chapter 195: Opening a hot pot restaurant.

"Come on, he is not a good person. Sister, don't mention him to me..." Yu Haitang looked like she didn't want to talk.

"Why is he not a good person?" Yu Li asked.

How could Yu Haitang explain this? She really couldn't say it out loud, "Anyway, he is not a good person..."

This made Yu Li confused. She thought, forget it, it was probably because Chen Fang didn't like her sister. Although her sister was pretty, Yu Li thought she was still too high for her.

After saying that, he prepared to go to Siheyuan to report the matter of the hot pot restaurant to Chen Fang.

"Boss Chen, ... this is what happened. The hot pot restaurant has about 50 tables, 20 waiters, 5 vegetable cutters, and I don't have a single chef..."

After hearing this, Chen Fang realized that Yu Li was really efficient and decisive in her work, comparable to Lou Xiao'e from Siheyuan. It was probably because of her family background, otherwise her achievements would have been higher than Lou Xiao'e's.

"Sister Li, let's go take a look together!" It couldn't be that the hot pot restaurant was about to open, but Chen Fang didn't know the address.

"Okay, I'll take you there right away. It's on the street next to the park...and the location is very convenient."

The two were about to go out when Huaihua spoke weakly.

"Brother Chen, can I ask how much the waiters at your hot pot restaurant earn?"

"The salary is not as high as yours, about 40, and there will be some other benefits, about 60 a month!" I don't know why Huaihua asked this?

"Um, where can my sister go?" Huaihua asked. Her sister Xiaodang was originally interning at the school, but now the internship period is over and the school does not have any admission vacancies for her. Now she can only find another job, so Huaihua asked this question.

"Your sister Xiaodang, right? Okay, ask her to come to the hot pot restaurant to find us!" Chen Fang had seen this Xiaodang several times, but she didn't quite meet Chen Fang's aesthetic standards, so he had no intention of making a move on her.

"Then I'll go call her now, you guys wait..." Huaihua went back quickly and was about to call Xiaodang.

Yu Li said nothing. He was a big boss and hiring someone was no big deal. She had experienced the benefits of power during this period of time because of recruiting people. Many people came to curry favor with her and gave her gifts, all for the job.

The two people waiting at the gate of the courtyard didn't have to wait long before Huaihua and Xiaodang came over.

When Xiaodang saw Chen Fang, he didn't know how to greet him. This man had beaten up his brother and her stupid father several times, but now he went to work in his hot pot restaurant. What was going on?

But money is more important. She isn't the one getting beaten anyway.

"Hello, Boss Chen, Sister Yu Li!" Xiao Dang greeted them with a smile. She is essentially an ungrateful person.

"Yu Li, tell her what the waiter should do!"

Yu Li pulled Xiao Dang aside and said, "The waiter is responsible for serving dishes and clearing tables... and for customers to order things... Do you understand?"

"Sister Yu Li, can I ask if the salary can really reach 60 yuan a month?" Xiao Dang doesn't care what she does. What she cares about is whether the salary can reach 60 yuan a month. When she was at school, she only made 18 yuan a month.

The number of waiters at the hot pot restaurant is four times hers? That's why she came here with a brave face.

"Well, the salary is this much." It is for this reason that so many relatives came to ask Yu Li to reserve a place for them.

...

In this way, Xiaodang also joined the hot pot restaurant, which means that now both daughters of the Jia family are working for Chen Fang.

Chen Fang drove Yu Li to the hot pot restaurant. Looking at the busy renovation scene, he thought that the workers of this era were really dedicated.

The decoration is going well and it will soon be finished.

Seeing that Chen Fang was very satisfied with these, Yu Li also breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Fang asked her to do everything, for fear that she would not do it well and make the boss unhappy.

"The decoration is almost done and we can open for business. Ingredients and base materials will be delivered by someone in time, so you don't have to worry!" As for who will deliver them, that is of course a matter of the system.

Yu Li nodded, that would be the best.

The news that Chen Fang was going to open a hotpot restaurant had spread throughout the Siheyuan.

Every household is discussing this matter, and everyone knows that this hot pot restaurant is not just a hot pot restaurant, but represents a signal.

In other words, the policy will be relaxed and individuals will be able to do business. Although Chen Fang has been engaged in trade, the people in the yard have no idea what trade is. They will understand it once they open a hot pot restaurant.

Everyone has different thoughts, some want to curry favor, and some want to take advantage.

Tomorrow is the first day of the hot pot restaurant's opening. Today Chen Fang has already delivered the food and base ingredients and everything else. Everyone has tried the food and is amazed at how good this spicy hot pot tastes. It is such a pleasant experience to eat hot pot with air conditioning on a hot day. The business will surely be booming in the future.

Everyone is full of confidence in the hot pot restaurant. After all, only if the restaurant makes money can everyone continue to run the business for a longer period of time, especially Yu Li, who has now seen the money flying in.

The next day, Chen Fang woke up early, washed up quickly, had a simple breakfast, and took a car to the hot pot restaurant. Qin Jingru and Huaihua were in the car. Qin Jingru had asked for leave a long time ago. Her job could be said to be a way to kill time. She could go when she wanted to, and rest when she didn't want to go. Her time was extremely limited.

Seeing the few people leaving, the people in the courtyard had no intention of celebrating with Chen Fang or coming to show their support. They were still thinking of asking Chen Fang to treat them to a meal.

It's a pity that Chen Fang has no such plan. Is it necessary to invite the beasts in the courtyard?

But they still called the third uncle, and Yu Li also called her sister Yu Haitang, and there was no one else.

After arriving at the hot pot restaurant, several people filed in. The hot pot restaurant was neither big nor small, with all kinds of facilities quite complete and simple and generous decoration, which was very satisfactory. Qin Jingru looked at it this way, after all, this was her man's career.

Although I don't know why Yu Li was let to be in charge, I guess she has a crush on him. She can't control Chen Fang anyway. As long as he treats her well in the future, she can't control anything else.

Although today is the first day of opening, Director Li from the Investment Promotion Office, Wang Zhongjun from the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and Director Kong from the Steel Rolling Mill all came with their own people to show their support.

Originally, several people were supportive, but they didn't expect it to taste so good. There aren't so many seasonings these days, and the taste must be addictive.

Several people found Chen Fang, "Mr. Chen, the taste is amazing. I have never eaten such a great spicy hot pot. I don't think you can find one like it in Beijing!" Director Li said with a smile. He and Chen were the most familiar with each other at the table.

"It's xN"

“And the ingredients are fresh...”

Chapter 196: First opening.

"I'm glad you like it. I was afraid that the taste might not suit your taste..." Chen Fang said with a smile.

Anyway, hot pot is made just like that. Once the base ingredients are put in, add some onion, ginger, peppercorns, etc., add water and bring to a boil, then you can start blanching the vegetables.

"I will definitely promote you at the Investment Promotion Office when I get back..."

“The same is true for supply and marketing cooperatives…”

...

Several people agreed to come as much as possible to attend any banquets in the future, if for no other reason than that the way they were served abroad could help them to carry out their work better. It was no big deal to spend some money here, and they also liked the taste.

At this time, Yu Haitang, who was sitting at the table, saw Chen Fang chatting and laughing with her factory manager, and felt very uncomfortable. She didn't want to come today, but was dragged here by her sister, who said that she would definitely regret it if she didn't eat this hot pot.

She tasted it and it was indeed delicious, but it didn't matter now. Chen Fang clearly saw her coming but didn't even say hello and pretended not to see her. This was really too much, Yu Haitang thought to herself.

Most of the people who came today were internal staff, and there were basically no guests from outside. Soon Chen Fang came to Yan Bugui's table and said, "Third uncle, please enjoy your meal. I will ask you to take care of Siheyuan if there is anything in the future."

As for Yan Bugui, Chen Fang couldn't say he hated him nor liked him, he just treated him as an ordinary person.

"Xiao Chen, thank you so much today. We are from the same courtyard, but you are still so polite..." Yan Bugui was very happy. Not to mention anything else, he got such a good job for his eldest son.

"Yu Haitang, you should eat well too. Thank you for coming." Chen Fang said with a smile. To Yu Haitang, this sounded like: "You, Chen Fang, finally saw me. Didn't you pretend not to see me just now?"

"Hmph!" Yu Haitang turned her face away and pretended to be angry. She was waiting for Chen Fang to say something nice, but Chen Fang was not a bootlicker, so why would he care about these things.

I ignored them and went somewhere else. Wouldn't it be nice to spend this time entertaining Qin Jingru?

Seeing Chen Fang leave like this, Yu Haitang felt even more unhappy. The third uncle next to her knew it very well and thought to himself that Yu Haitang was still too young. If she were with a group of people, they would definitely come to coax her, but would Chen Fang come to coax her with such good conditions?

Yan Bugui didn't say anything, just shook his head silently.

...

Yu Li and her friends were exhausted at the end of the day. After counting the sales, they found that today's turnover was more than 1500 yuan, and the consumption per table was basically between 10 and 20 yuan, which was quite high in that era, but who could blame Chen Fang for the novelty of this hot pot restaurant?

Yu Li was also very happy. She sold so much in one day. How much money could she get? How much would she get in a month? And how much would she get in a year? She would be shocked when she did the calculation.
