Chapter 2202
The Boast Backfires
In two years, we will have a process of devaluation to facilitate foreign trade.
Then came the situation where our family's seven or eight yuan could only be exchanged for one US dollar.
Before that, our family's money had always been very strong, but no one outside acknowledged it.
Comrade Zhang, who was outside the door, practically crawled away.
He originally thought it was just a few hundred thousand yuan in foreign trade orders.
With his connections in Beijing,
Even if we can't bring them all to Tianjin.
Given Tianjin's close ties to Beijing and the convenience of its port, he was confident he could secure a third, or even more.
But what are they talking about in the office now?
A multi-million dollar order—this isn't just about reviving a factory; it's about creating an entire industrial park.
Such a large order is so big that even a bigwig from the Tianjin municipal government might not be able to snatch it away, let alone a small industrial enterprise in his district.
Damn, I thought that since He Yuzhu had just released another balloon into the sky, given the past cooperation between the two sides, they should be able to talk.
As long as He Yuzhu casually recommends them, plus other leaders visit the Sijiu City Government, they can easily influence the city.
Securing a long-term business deal could also be considered one of his achievements.
Unexpectedly, He Yuzhu released a spaceship.
How is he supposed to respond?
The man surnamed Zhang is now filled with a mixture of fear and elation, a bittersweet feeling.
He was terrified that this achievement was something he couldn't possibly have the stomach for, nor the capacity to eat.
His elation stemmed from a momentary lapse of judgment: what he overheard while crouching under the window of He Yuzhu's office might be the biggest opportunity of his life.
If this were reported upstairs, the leaders in the industrial sector of Tianjin would find out first.
It might just add a brilliant chapter to his career resume.
The key is that the larger the order, the greater Tianjin's chances.
If the city of Beijing doesn't award this order to them, are they really thinking of letting those southern cities benefit for free?
Time is money, and Zhang is now quite aware of that.
Back in the office, He Yuzhu saw that Xiao Qian was about to leave, so he called him back and said, "Tell the teachers about it."
I'll treat them to dinner that evening.
Let's celebrate!
Meet at five o'clock, and I'll take you out for a big meal.
"Arrange for the teachers on duty; they can go tomorrow."
He Yuzhu was just saying it casually.
Even without today's happy occasion, he was still planning to host a dinner party.
After a month or two of trial operation, the restaurant that He Daqing invested in quietly opened last week.
The reason it's described as low-key is that He Yuzhu didn't show off at school.
In fact, that restaurant is doing quite well right now.
It satisfied the pretentious mentality of a small group of newly rich people in society.
Putting everything else aside, as long as you make a reservation, you can eat any authentic cuisine you're looking for.
And they were all beautiful girls, all over 1.55 meters tall.
Although her clothing is conservative, beauty can never be hidden by clothes.
Yu Li, having studied in Hong Kong, clearly understood the implications in He Yuzhu's words.
This has made He Yuzhu, that old lecher, a little embarrassed when he sees his apprentice's wife lately.
Actually, he was overthinking things.
He simply told Yu Li that the front-of-house staff must be pleasing to the eye and delightful to the customer.
He never said he wanted a woman with a curvy figure.
Having been to Hong Kong Island, Yu Li knew what she was doing. She didn't necessarily choose women who were conventionally beautiful, but whose figures were definitely impressive. A 7/10 in looks, a 9/10 in figure, and the service philosophy Yu Li instilled in them.
In the current catering industry of Beijing, it is a mudslide.
Of course, no one would dare say those girls were improper based on their appearance.
They didn't reveal anything, they earned their living through their own labor, what's wrong with that?
Yu Li also promoted the idea that women can hold up half the sky.
She didn't mention that in order to recruit these women, she offered each of them a salary higher than the industry average, and that she mostly selected them from among the educated youth who had returned to the city.
Those young people, now that they've returned to the city, don't even have a place to live, let alone a job.
Now I have a job with a decent salary and room and board included.
All they needed to do was make them call the guests "boss" instead of "comrade" in the private rooms, and they were willing to do so for their monthly wages.
Putting everything else aside, that bastard Xu Damao has taken his friends to that restaurant twice, spending over a hundred yuan there.
He Daqing now spends all his time at the restaurant, teaching his young apprentices and, incidentally, the waiters and waitresses some Hong Kong dialect...
According to He Daqing's explanation, Liu Ting needs to take care of her mother and He Yuan, so as her father-in-law, he must take the initiative to step in while he is still able to move.
Reduce the pressure on the daughter-in-law.
He Yuzhu could only let him be, but he instructed Ma Hua and Yu Li to keep a close eye on things and not let the old man give him another stepmother.
He didn't want He Daqing to eat peanuts.
These days, if you mess around with men and women in Beijing, you can forget about living.
As He Yuzhu was leaving get off work, he looked at the dozens of bicycles behind him and felt a little overwhelmed.
He realized he had overstated his boasting.
The current CNC School has nearly 500 faculty and staff members.
This is because the CNC Academy is a startup and doesn't have many complex departments.
But it's not the makeshift team it used to be.
Fortunately, Xiao Qian is a capable person.
He didn't even call on the ordinary faculty and staff below.
Most of the people we can call over are those with some level of authority.
"Principal, I only notified the counselor to go up."
Other teachers may not be available either.
"Is this enough for you?" Xiao Qian asked, leaning closer to He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu's lips trembled slightly. He touched his shirt pocket, but stubbornly said, "Fine, I'll try to get some money from the lower ranks tomorrow."
We need to bring a few pigs so our faculty, staff, and students can all have a treat.
He Yuzhu inwardly sighed that it was certain.
Damn it, I slipped up and said something, and dozens of people went over there.
At least three tables, with each table costing forty yuan, that's over a hundred yuan gone.
The key point is that he has already boasted that he will treat everyone out of his own pocket this time.
How to get reimbursement after returning home, and how to appease the shrew at home, are also quite difficult problems.
As for eating at his own restaurant without paying, He Yuzhu would definitely not do such a thing.
If he doesn't set a good example, this restaurant won't be long before it goes out of business.
The entire hall was booked by He Yuzhu and his group.
With four tables, there must be some others who went with the boat.
This wasn't because those teachers were being unruly; it was because He Yuzhu specifically ordered it.
For example, if you call out to Teacher Ran, then you definitely have to call out to her family of three as well.
If you call Liu Sheng, you also need to call his little potato and the child who just came to Beijing...
He Yuzhu raised his glass, and the entire room fell silent. (End of Chapter)
