Chapter 228 Xie Liang: "Master, are you listening?"
"Then...Mr. Xie, if we all go, what will happen to the restaurant?"
Xu Hongdou listened to Xie Zhiyao's plan with great interest and asked curiously.
Xie Zhiyao smiled heartily and told her truthfully:
"I have already planned to close the business for the day. It just so happens that the promotional video is almost finished, so I want Caiyun and Xiuying to rest."
Xu Hongdou smiled.
Nana pursed her lips and said, "It's closed again. Mr. Xie, will Sister Xiaochun agree?"
"Don't worry, I'll tell her." Xie Zhiyao nodded.
Counting this group activity, it was already the third one he had organized in a short period of time, and it was a bit intensive. But he thought of his own little Xie Qiang, and then of the scene between Aunt Feng and Uncle Achang in the hospital yesterday.
Xie Zhiyao felt that doing so was worthwhile.
And his cousin will understand. Even if she doesn't, he is still the boss after all.
"By the way, Mr. Xie. The promotional video is almost over. I want to quit my volunteer job and take advantage of the time before I leave to have a good rest."
Seeing that the other party was in a good mood, Xu Hongdou also felt that it would be better to clarify the following matters as soon as possible while there was still time.
Her idea of ending her volunteer work was not a sudden thought, but she had already planned it.
Initially, when the other party invited her to volunteer, it was not very innocent.
She had actually understood this for a long time, but the relationship between them was still okay, and with Grandma Xie among them, Xu Hongdou didn't care much even after she woke up.
Instead, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to volunteer work and made his own contribution to Xie Zhiyao's industry from service quality to some processes.
But now, if I keep doing this...
As Xu Hongdou said, she wanted to rest.
I want to devote more time to someone, and I also want to make good plans for my next steps.
Hearing Xu Hongdou suddenly mention this matter, Xie Zhiyao was stunned for a moment.
Unprepared, he looked at the other party blankly and said subconsciously: "You...are you going back to BJ?"
Nana also said "Ah" and asked anxiously: "Hongdou, do you want to leave early? Why didn't I hear you mention it before?"
Da Mai's departure has been decided, and Hong Dou still has about one month of lease left.
If the two of them leave together, here...
Nana thought about it, and couldn't help but cast her eyes on Xie Zhiyao, bit her lip, and thought to herself: If they all leave, she will be the only one left here.
When Master Ma heard Xu Hongdou say that he was planning to quit his job as a volunteer, he raised his eyebrows, looked at the other person, and smiled lightly.
After picking up the teapot and pouring another cup of tea for the three of them, they started drinking by themselves.
"No, I won't leave until the lease term is over." Xu Hongdou smiled.
After Xie Zhiyao finished listening, he looked at the tea cup that Master Ma had filled with water, pursed his lips slightly, looked up at the old guy opposite, and understood what the other person wanted to say to him.
When the water is full, it overflows; when the moon is full, it wanes.
Although Xu Hongdou has not been here long, everyone has noticed the improvements in the restaurant's service quality and e-commerce customer service.
He wanted to say thank you.
There is a very appropriate time to end this relationship and forget about this relationship. In fact, we should take advantage of the current promotional video to end it.
It looks pretty good too.
Moreover, it is also very common sense.
Just... giving it up?
Xie Zhiyao suddenly asked himself this question that he had asked countless times before.
The answer is still those three words.
But
Xie Zhiyao looked at the cup and fell into silence. He was struggling. When he was trying to convince himself to let go of a relationship that he couldn't hold on to, Nana suddenly asked:
"Hongdou, what about the Shaohua Bookstore? Didn't you always say that you wanted to help with the reception?"
"Shaohua Bookstore?"
Hearing this, Xu Hongdou hesitated for a moment, then gently turned the cup with her tender catkin-like fingers, as if ignoring the matter.
She did not avoid Nana's gaze. She turned her head slightly to look at him and nodded lightly.
She remembers what she said.
I even remember that at this table, Mr. Ma once asked Zhang Wentao which French dish had the flavor of "time" in it.
I also remember that I and Nana had discussed that they wanted to ask Zhang Wentao for help.
"That's it, Hongdou. As for you, after the promotional video is over, you won't have to do volunteer work. If someone from Shaohua Bookstore comes over during this period, can you spare some time to help?
"
Xie Zhiyao thought about it for a while and asked tentatively.
In his heart, Shaohua Bookstore is far more important to the future development of Yunmiao Village than the promotional video.
"Okay." Xu Hongdou said with a smile. This was originally something she took over when we discussed it together before. If Nana hadn't reminded her just now, she would have almost ignored such an important matter:
"In this way, Wen Tao seems to have the contact information of the other party. I will ask him to help ask for it in the evening."
"this…"
Xie Zhiyao wanted to say yes, but suddenly he thought that the other party came to negotiate and didn't seem to like to see prepared things. He smiled and said: "I won't bother Zhang Wentao. Thank you, Hongdou."
"Mr. Xie, you're welcome." Xu Hongdou smiled.
She didn't even think about brokering a relationship between Zhang Wentao and Xie Zhiyao. After all, this matter had something to do with her. She didn't favor Zhang Wentao, and it was already a bowl of water.
When she heard that Xie Zhiyao didn't want to cause trouble, she didn't mention it again.
"Come, have some tea."
Master Ma saw that they had almost finished their conversation and had said everything that needed to be said, so he smiled and signaled to everyone that the tea would lose its taste when it was cold.
…
Zhang Wentao came to the restaurant, humming a happy rhythm and walked into the kitchen.
Seeing Xie Liang chopping vegetables, she clapped her hands and asked him to come to her.
"Master, what's the matter?" Xie Liang wiped his hands and hurried over and said.
"Give this to Manager Sun in front of you, and bring me a cup of coffee by the way. Go ahead and take a rest." Zhang Wentao smiled, threw the key to Xie Liang, and then walked sideways to the dressing room.
After a while, when he came out, a cup of steaming coffee was placed on the console nearest to him.
Zhang Wentao frowned when he saw the heat.
Angrily, he called Xie Liang over again, complaining in his heart that this guy was really stupid. Before the other party came to open his mouth to say something, he said: "You have been following me for so long, ah.
Let me ask you, when have you ever seen me drink hot coffee?
Don’t you have any eyesight like this?”
After Zhang Wentao finished speaking, he looked down at Xie Liang, who was a little shorter than himself.
Xie Liang saw Zhang Wentao getting angry and his face was full of tangles. He was a little embarrassed and wanted to say something, but he looked around at the other chefs who were laughing and frowned and did not dare to say anything.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. I've told you many times to let it go."
Seeing his appearance, Zhang Wentao urged impatiently.
Xie Liang took a breath, gritted his teeth and said: "Master...Master, then I really said it."
Zhang Wentao: "Say!"
Xie Liang: "My wife told me to keep an eye on you and not let you drink iced coffee in the restaurant. She also said that your waist has been bad recently, so if you do any heavy work, let me help you... Master
