Chapter 36: Reaching a Cooperation with a State-run Hotel
Just as Lu Zhenghao was about to stand up, Lu Qingqing put down the bowl and chopsticks to stop him.
"Dad, please lie down and don't get up. I'll go take a look."
Lu Zhenghao felt moved and lay back without moving.
It’s not like the people coming outside are strangers——
Lu Qingqing's third aunt, Liu Xiuge.
As soon as Liu Xiuge entered the door, she asked Lu Qingqing, "Girl, I heard that my second son had a quarrel with you yesterday and even started to fight? Did this thing that took a thousand cuts didn't hurt you?"
Lu Qingqing smiled, her third aunt had always been very loyal, and she liked to deal with people like this.
"Fortunately, third aunt, I even beat him up. He didn't come back last night. He said he went out to live."
"Damn, good fight. If I were here, I would kill this bastard!" Liu Xiuge spat on the ground bitterly.
Lu Qingqing didn't want to talk and Lu Mingjian didn't answer the conversation anymore. He noticed the well-dressed middle-aged man behind Liu Xiuge.
"Third Aunt, who is this?"
Liu Xiuge slapped her forehead and said, "I'm just asking you here, I forgot to introduce you."
"I met this man at the entrance of the village. He said that his son was getting married and wanted to see your father for a good life, so I brought him here!"
Watching the day is another great skill of Lu Zhenghao besides teaching...
Lu Qingqing smiled and let the person in, "Then come in quickly, my father is in the house."
Lu Zhenghao had gotten up early when he heard the voice, and now he was sitting at the square table.
Liu Xiuge brought the person over, briefly introduced him, and quickly went back to work in the fields.
Father Lu exchanged a few words with this man and then got down to the topic of looking at the day.
This man's name is Zhao Qinggong. Whether it's the way he talks or the way he dresses, you can tell at a glance that he is not an ordinary person.
Lu Qingqing had never understood this kind of thing in his previous life, so he listened with great interest.
Zhao Qinggong had just finished reporting the ages of the man and the woman, and Father Lu calculated the zodiac signs.
Father Lu put on his reading glasses and counted with his fingers while flipping through an old almanac.
After a while, three or four days were announced for him to choose. By the way, he also made it clear when people with certain zodiac signs should not show up.
Lu Qingqing was delighted. Father Lu's attitude was just one fortune teller away!
After listening to it for a while, I found it uninteresting.
Lu Qingqing sat down at the low table and continued eating yesterday's braised pork sausage.
Zhao Qinggong smelled the smell and kept looking back towards Lu Qingqing.
Until Lu Qingqing felt extremely uncomfortable, she said politely: "You didn't eat in the morning? If you don't mind, let's eat some together."
Anyone with eyesight can't tell that this is a polite remark?
Zhao Qinggong didn't hear it.
"That's great, I won't be polite!"
While talking, he sat on the bench opposite Lu Qingqing, picked up his chopsticks and started eating braised pork.
Father Lu and Lu Qingqing were stunned.
Why is this person more casual than at home?
After chewing a mouthful of braised pork and swallowing it, the aroma lingers in your stomach for endless aftertaste.
Zhao Qinggong couldn't help but ask: "Girl, did you buy this meat or cook it yourself?"
Seeing him eating happily, Lu Qingqing felt a sense of accomplishment. He smiled and said, "Hey, I made it myself."
Zhao Qinggong's eyes were shining, "You are so good at cooking and you just cook it for yourself and never thought about selling it?"
Lu Qingqing somewhat guessed his plan.
This person probably has an unusual background.
"Originally, I took it to the county town every day for retail sales. I haven't borrowed a bicycle in the past two days and I have something to do at home, so I didn't go."
Zhao Qinggong nodded and thought for a moment, then rubbed his hands and asked tentatively, "Girl, are you interested in working as a chef in a county hotel?
Oh, I'm the manager of the hotel."
Lu Qingqing was stunned.
Lu Zhenghao also put down his reading glasses and looked at Zhao Qinggong with his mouth slightly open.
My dear, the manager of a state-owned hotel!
These days, even the waiters in state-owned hotels are considered civil servants in later generations, so the status of the manager can naturally be imagined.
Zhao Qinggong originally thought that after he finished speaking, Lu Qingqing and Lu Zhenghao would be very happy if they agreed immediately without saying anything.
Unexpectedly, both of them were calm, and even Lu Zhenghao frowned slightly.
Zhao Qinggong didn't understand the situation, but Lu Zhenghao knew it in his heart.
He was worried that his daughter would be a braised pig intestine like this, but she couldn't do anything else. If she really went to a state-owned restaurant, she would be kicked out sooner or later!
Lu Qingqing was confused.
She disdains the iron rice bowl of a state-owned hotel, and she plans to get into college and develop her career outside if she has the chance.
But the state-owned restaurants are indeed much more stable than her own.
After thinking about it, Lu Qingqing discussed with Zhao Qinggong, "To tell you the truth, I am only good at braised pig intestines."
"Do you think this can be done like this? I don't go to the restaurant to work, but I sell braised pig intestines to you wholesale?"
Zhao Qinggong felt that Lu Qingqing was too young and didn't know the benefits of an iron rice bowl.
I want to persuade her again, "Girl, you should think about it again. Although working in a state-owned hotel may not make as much money as selling pig intestines, this is an iron rice bowl. When it comes to it, everyone in the family has face."
As he said that, he glanced at Lu Zhenghao again, hoping that Lu Zhenghao could help him persuade him.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhenghao ignored him at all and seemed to let his daughter make her own decisions.
Seeing this made him feel helpless, and neither of them could handle it clearly!
Lu Qingqing thought about how to word it for a moment, "I understand your good intentions, but the little guy in the courtyard is my son, and I really can't go to work every day with my child."
"So, if you like my skills, we can cooperate.
It doesn’t matter if you think it doesn’t work, I’ll just go to retail.”
Zhao Qinggong hesitated in his heart.
It's not that he can't decide on this matter, it just takes a lot of effort, and such cooperation may cost more than recruiting Lu Qingqing.
Lu Qingqing continued to eat with a smile and did not press for results.
Zhao Qinggong hesitated for a while, then picked up his chopsticks and tasted another piece of braised pork.
You'll never get tired of eating this taste.
He gritted his teeth and readily agreed, "Okay, then it's up to you! Whatever your usual retail price is, we'll give you that price!"
Lu Qingqing was overjoyed. He didn't expect that his father would be able to see such an opportunity when he looked at his life.
He immediately took out his lunch box and poured the last bit of braised pork sausage left in the barrel into it.
He handed it to Zhao Qinggong and said with a smile: "Manager Zhao, please take this braised pork sausage back and give it to everyone to try. I hope we can have a happy cooperation!"
Zhao Qinggong was very satisfied with Lu Qingqing's attitude in doing things. This girl knew how to get things done.
He really needs to give some advice to other hotel leaders, and having a sample is the greatest persuasion.
After taking it happily, he remembered that Lu Qingqing didn't have a bicycle.
"By the way, don't you have a bicycle? I'll leave this to you, and you can ride it first when you go into town!"
Lu Qingqing was surprised by Zhao Qinggong's boldness, but did not directly agree.
"No, no, I won't bother you with this little thing, I'll just figure it out myself.
Bicycles were a rare thing at this time. Zhao Qinggong just offered to give it to her so casually. How could she dare to accept it casually?
I'm not sure whether we can cooperate. If there is any dispute in the future, it will be very troublesome.
Zhao Qinggong could also see her concerns and secretly praised Lu Qingqing for her thoughtfulness.
"That's right, if I stay with you today, I have to walk back by myself.
Then I will lend you the car when you go to the county seat and find me at the hotel!"
After Zhao Qinggong left, Lu Qingqing and Lu Zhenghao both narrowed their eyes with joy.
My daughter will no longer have to walk around the streets to sell, which is hard and unstable. She will work with a state-owned hotel on a regular basis, which is no different from a formal job!
Lu Qingqing was also very happy.
During this time, she was thinking about whether she should go to college.
It is now the end of March, and there are nearly nine months until December. She can spare more time to prepare for the college entrance examination!
This happy event temporarily washed away the bad luck brought by Lu Mingjian.
When Lu Zhenghao was happy, he waved his hand and asked Li Guiqiu to kill a chicken to celebrate.
The main room was lively and lively, but the east room of the main room was filled with a low and depressing atmosphere.
