In the courtyard, everyone is afraid of the little boy who is so smart!

The group walked through the state-owned hotel's majestic revolving door and entered the restaurant. The noise instantly came like a tide.

Wang Jianguo calmed himself down and looked around. He saw that the spacious hall was packed with people, and diners were sitting around almost every table.

There were also many people standing in the aisle whispering to each other, and the waiters were busy moving among the crowd with trays of food in their hands, appearing to be walking in a hurry.

Such a lively and crowded scene made Wang Jianguo frown and feel puzzled.

He knew that this state-owned restaurant was famous for its high-quality food and service, and the threshold for eating there on weekdays was not low, and the prices were much higher than those in ordinary restaurants.

Most of the customers who come here to consume are those who have more money and pursue quality in dining, so even at mealtimes, it is rare to see such a crowded scene.

Wang Jianguo slowed down his pace, moved closer to Cuiping, looked puzzled, and asked softly:

"Sister, look at this scene, why are there so many people in the state-owned restaurant today?"

As he spoke, he scanned the crowd again and observed them carefully. Those people were dressed differently, and their expressions and behaviors were also very different.

There were workers in work clothes, civil servants in cadre uniforms, and some ordinary citizens, but their attention did not seem to be on the food on the table.

Most people were talking enthusiastically, gesturing with their hands from time to time, as if they were discussing something important. This made Wang Jianguo feel even more suspicious, so he added:

"And looking at them, they don't look like they are just here to eat. What's going on?"

Her words were full of curiosity and inquiry, and she was eager to solve the mystery in her heart from Cuiping.

The director raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a gentle and slightly helpless smile. His eyes swept across the bustling crowd in the hotel, as if he had already seen through the reasons behind the bustle.

She turned slightly to face Wang Jianguo and explained patiently:

"Jianguo, look at the days ahead. It's almost the end of the year."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed outside the hotel. Although the glass blocked the cold, she could still imagine the festive atmosphere permeating the streets and alleys.

"When it comes to this time, everyone has worked hard for a whole year. Who wouldn't want to buy something good to improve the meals for the family and celebrate the New Year happily?"

She paused, a trace of regret flashed in her eyes, and then continued:

"But you also know that the supply of materials in our supply and marketing cooperative has its own difficulties. Take meat for example, there is a fixed quota there."

"We have to prioritize some special needs and balance the supply. We can't just let everyone buy whatever they want."

The director sighed softly, and the helplessness on his face became more and more obvious.

"So, the State-Owned Hotel was quick-witted and came up with this compromise."

The director's gaze turned to the hotel front desk, where there was a long queue and people were holding various receipts in their hands, their eyes full of anticipation.

"They specially purchased a batch of meat and asked everyone to bring their tickets to exchange. This can satisfy the people's urgent desire to eat meat during the Spring Festival."

"It won't exceed the meat quota set by the supply and marketing cooperative, so both sides can be taken care of. It can also be regarded as a solution to everyone's urgent needs."

Their words were full of appreciation for the state-owned hotel's move, but also revealed their regrets about the difficulties in supplying materials during the year-end.

Wang Jianguo nodded slightly, thoughtfully, and an expression of appreciation immediately appeared on his face.

He looked at Cheng Hai firmly, and said in a firm tone with a hint of an elder brother teaching a younger generation:

"Well, Brother Cheng Hai, take a closer look. The solution this state-owned restaurant has come up with is really good. It not only solves the problem of people eating meat, but also does not disrupt the balance of supply of the supply and marketing cooperative. It kills two birds with one stone!"

"We have to learn from this. You should write it down quickly. If our supply and marketing cooperative encounters a similar situation in the future, we can follow suit and implement it. It will be a sure thing."

As he spoke, Wang Jianguo patted Cheng Hai's shoulder gently, as if to emphasize the weight of his words. Cheng Hai nodded in approval and took out a pen and paper to write it down.

After explaining Cheng Hai, Wang Jianguo quickly turned his head with a flattering smile on his face. When he looked at Cuiping, his eyes narrowed into slits and his words were full of flattery:

"Sister, I know it clearly. Needless to say, this is such a thoughtful and clever idea. It must have been you who came up with it, right?"

Wang Jianguo knew clearly that Cuiping had worked in the supply and marketing cooperative for many years and was very experienced and had a wide network of contacts. Who else could come up with such an idea?

Moreover, if you do this favor, future dealings will be smoother.

"Your brain works faster than anyone else's. Once you came up with this idea, everything came alive. I really learned a new trick from you today. I admire you so much!"

As Wang Jianguo spoke, he raised his thumb and nodded continuously, looking as sincere as possible.

Cuiping shook her head gently, a gentle smile appeared on her face, her eyes showed love and pride for her lover, and she spoke slowly:

"Jianguo, you are thinking in the wrong direction."

She raised her hand slightly and gently brushed the hair that was messed up by the wind behind her ears. Her eyes unconsciously looked into the distance, as if her thoughts drifted back to the moment when her lover gave her advice.

"You know, every year when the year draws to a close, the pressure from the supply and marketing cooperatives is like a mountain. The problem of the quantitative supply of meat has become a major concern for me."

"Seeing the villagers come with high expectations, but often leave disappointed, I feel so bad. I am so anxious that I can't even eat a few bites of food."

Na Cuiping frowned slightly, and the smile on her face faded, replaced by a bit of helplessness and heartache, as if she was experiencing those anxious days all over again.

"My husband sees all my hard work and feels pain in his heart. Every night, when we sit together and chat, he listens to me complaining quietly without saying a word."

"I didn't expect that a few days later, he told me mysteriously that he had found a solution."

At this point, Cuiping's eyes lit up and her speech speed quickened a little.

"It turns out that he came up with this idea to have the best of both worlds: let the state-owned restaurants buy some meat and then sell it to everyone in the form of tickets."

"It not only solves the problem of the villagers having difficulty buying meat, but also cleverly avoids the quantitative restrictions of the supply and marketing cooperatives. Isn't that great?"

A smile appeared on Cuiping's face again, a happy smile that was touched by her lover's thoughtfulness and wisdom.

"So, this achievement should be attributed to my lover. If it weren't for him, I don't know how worried I would be."
