In the store at the west gate of M University, Cheng Lin invited people from the design team of the current coffee shop to look at it. At first, he thought about copying the model and making it look like a small coffee shop, but Cheng Lin looked at the shop of the owner of the coffee shop opposite. , Feeling a bit rushed into other people's business, hesitated for a while, and temporarily took no action.

He thought about it, called Xiao Wang in the county, and asked if there was any reliable and familiar person who wanted to come to the city to work and start a business. It was really a good question, and he had done carpentry work for Cheng Lin some time ago. The master who went back, the child at home is going to study, and he is going to work in the city to accompany him to study. When Cheng Lin heard this, he quickly contacted the master and planned to give the bread to the carpenter.

Cheng Lin went back to report this matter to Ren An, and Ren An had no objection. Cheng Lin worked in the kitchen for a long time, writing down the signature dishes and bottom ingredient recipes of the Xiaodai Mala Tang restaurant, and making the store simple. It has been renovated and everything has been tidied up. The old master also came over with his wife, just in time to take care of it.The master carpenter was very grateful, and asked Cheng Lin what the name of the shop should be. Cheng Lin thought about it and said, "I don't need any name, just call it Malatang."

There is only one Xiaodai Malatang in this world, it has already existed, and it can no longer come back, so let’s start over as simple as that.The Malatang store opened again in a very low-key manner. The carpenter uncle and the old couple set up a sign for the opening. There were no various promotions and publicity that Chenglin's store fiddled with at the beginning, and the pricing remained the same. It is also suitable for the student family. Many passing students came in to have a look, and it gradually started to operate.Some of them still live near the school or have stayed in school for a long time. They feel that this small shop has been closed for nearly three years, but it opened again and still sells Malatang. The taste is still the same as before. More people just come to eat Rice, don't think so much.

Cheng Lin came over occasionally, went into the small shop to say hello, and then went to sit down with the owner of the coffee shop opposite to have a drink and chat. One, the middle-aged man who is no longer so young has a smug smile on his face. Cheng Lin laughed and joked: "You really regard children as the world, and I almost thought you were not worldly."

The boss said: "Isn't this the way people are in this life, there must be some sustenance. How about you, you are still very busy recently?"

It was rare for Cheng Lin to sneak here to have a cup of tea, and said, "Yeah, I'm a bit incompetent."

At the end of the year, Ren An's company was very busy, and fortunately, he could take a breather during the busy New Year holidays. However, on the first day after the New Year's holiday, Ren An was very formally dressed in suits and leather shoes. He also asked Cheng Lin to wear formal clothes to go to the company with him. Cheng Lin knew that , Ren An has decided.Just like running a braised pot restaurant from scratch in the county, watching the children who have grown from nothing to growth and painstakingly cultivated, it is not so easy to give up emotionally.But people's energy is limited, and they can only move forward with trade-offs.Grandpa Ren An is getting old, and he can no longer take care of the company's affairs, and he was hospitalized for a long time at the end of the year. After talking with Ren An, Ren An decided to carry the burden of the family, and his own company, He was about to hand over to Vice President Zheng, and he was about to retreat completely.

Ren An came back late one night and told Cheng Lin about this. Ren An hugged Cheng Lin on the bed and refused to sleep, his eyes were wide open in the dark. Cheng Lin asked him what was on his mind, and Ren An kissed him. Cheng Lin's ears were sharp, and he said, "Stay, did you think I forced you back from the county? You already had your own business, and you gave up all of it for me. Now that I think about it, I think I did a pretty good job. No, I still don't understand you enough."

Cheng Lin thought it was such a big deal, and said indifferently: "Where to open a restaurant is not to open, brother, those few stores are really not that important, it's just a matter of making some money, I will sooner or later let's go."

Ren An hugged her tighter and said, "That's different. I started it myself. It's different. I feel a little uncomfortable now. I'm going to leave my company to someone else. I have to concentrate on taking care of my family. The older generation has worked so hard for so many years, and it can’t really be broken in my hands. Grandpa talked to me, and I can’t avoid it this time.”

Cheng Lin froze, turned around and hugged Ren An, and said, "Brother, I feel a little pity, can't we have both?"

Ren An shook his head and said, "It's too greedy to think like that. After all, my energy is limited, so I might be wasting both ends."

Cheng Lin pretended to sigh and said, "You should go back to be the second generation."

When Ren An returned to the company to announce new personnel appointments and news of his resignation, he naturally took Cheng Lin with him. Cheng Lin stayed in Ren An's office again and wandered into the small rest room, thinking about the first time he had recklessly left the county seat. The scene of rushing to the company to find Ren An really felt like yesterday.He didn't understand anything at that time, and followed Ren An to listen to meetings one by one like an idiot, which was no different from listening to heavenly scriptures. He was really bored, so he wrote and drew in his notebook, and went to the rest room in the afternoon to sleep on the quilt when he had nothing to do Great sleep.It seemed that I was free during that period of time, and after that I was busy running around. That kind of long and self-willed afternoon nap is really rare.

Ren An announced the new news at the plenary meeting. After the meeting, he returned to the office and closed the door, heaved a sigh of relief, took Cheng Lin's hand, and said, "Let's go, I'm afraid that everyone will gather around me later, and I feel even more worried." uncomfortable."

Vice President Zheng waited at the door, raised his gold-rimmed glasses, watched Ren An lead Cheng Lin out, said nothing, made a heartwarming gesture, and Cheng Lin had the guts to give him to Chen Min as well. □□ impulse.Vice President Zheng sent them to the elevator entrance and said, "Don't worry, I won't break the chain for you."

Ren An nodded and patted Vice President Zheng on the shoulder.

That night, Chen Min and Da Yu were called, as well as Jiang Sheng, Qiao Fei and the owner of the coffee shop. Over the years, they have formed a small circle, gathered in the cafe of Cheng Lin L University, and hung out early For the closed brand, Qiao Fei prepared all kinds of drinks, and it was a posture that he would not return home drunk.They are all at the age of running towards middle age, everyone has a lot of things in their stomachs, and they are happy to add to the burden, and it is good to dissipate with alcohol every now and then.

Everyone knew about the sale of the company by Ren An, and Daewoo joked: "You are not happy when you became the chairman of the group from the general manager of the company, telling us ordinary people how to live, drink, drink, don't be hypocritical. "

Daewoo is preparing for his second marriage. The bride is several years younger than him. She is cute and cute. Daewoo loves her very much. She accompanied her to buy a diamond ring and a wedding dress, but recently she was a little worried. Adding girls' names to all of them made Daewoo feel very mundane and annoying. After Tulu Tulu complained to his brothers, he started to drink by himself.

Big brother Jiang Sheng’s troubles lie in the distant horizon. There is a senior person who just won’t go down the mountain. The posture of staying alone on the mountain for the rest of his life is really sad and speechless. He doesn’t hate it when you’re here? Is this for me to save plane miles for rewards?”

The owner of the coffee shop was worried that his girl seemed to be falling in love prematurely. He accidentally saw the love letter written by the reckless boy to his daughter, and it made him get goosebumps all over his body. This kind of pig and cabbage thing was too bad. He wanted to block the school gate every day. Waiting to be caught.

Chen Min drank wine in silence, listening to Daewoo, whom he had been in love with for several years, talk about his second marriage plan, and listening to Wang Wei, whom he didn't like, entangled with Jiang Sheng, raised his glass, and said: "Busy at work. I have no time to worry about developing the market in Linshi."

When it was Qiao Fei's turn, Qiao Fei rolled his eyes at everyone and said, "My trouble is that I can't find anyone to go out for a while in such a good age. I have to listen to you gang of elders complaining about it. It's boring. It's very boring, God, can you give me a love life quickly, hey, Lin Zi, you are laughing, I think you are the most comfortable."

Cheng Lin smiled and ate melon seeds, and said, "Me? I'm quite comfortable. It's fine. Everything is fine. There's nothing to complain about."

Qiao Fei tossed him the melon seeds and said, "Come on, can your hotel project be completed? I heard that there was another problem with the audit at the end of the year. This is the first order you took over from your father. It's a mystery, right? No one at home laughs at you?"

Cheng Lin's face collapsed all of a sudden, and he said melancholy: "Oh, don't mention it, my head hurts, but I haven't officially taken over yet, the stall is too big, and the family members mean to figure out the situation."

At the end of the night, the others left separately, but Chen Min was the last one. Cheng Lin sympathized with Chen Min, and went over to ask: "Brother Chen Min, why don't we get together like this next time, and I won't call you."

Chen Min smiled and shook his head, and said: "No need, we are all friends." After a while, he said: "I just suddenly felt that it was meaningless for me to be stubborn, and some words were probably going to be taken to the grave .By the way, when you take over the hotel, remember to pay attention to the sports venue in the hotel. If anyone can cooperate with me, don't let the fat water go to outsiders."

Cheng Lin responded, and let Chen Min go out. Chen Min waited for the driver to come and drive, and suddenly said with emotion: "Wang Wei, this kid, has a very unique life. Back then, the guy who was so muddy that he couldn't support the wall would hang himself now." I have fallen for a hard-hearted and down-to-earth man, if this kid doesn't cherish it, and there is no such shop after passing this village, he is really lacking in heart."

Cheng Lin didn't comment, just said with a smile: "One radish, one hole."

After sending Chen Min away, Ren An sat on the bar chair, already drunk, pointed at Cheng Lin, and said, "I'm a radish, you're a pit."

Cheng Lin dragged Ren An down and said, "Hey brother, don't be ashamed, let's go home, go home!"

Cheng Lin got up in the morning and brushed his teeth side by side with Ren An in the bathroom. He looked at Ren An with bright black eyes, and saw a few white hairs hidden in Ren An's black hair. Cheng Lin felt a little uncomfortable, rinsed his mouth and wiped his face. , and said: "Brother, you are also working hard." Then pulled off the unsightly white hair, Ren An touched his hair in the mirror, and said: "It's okay, there are many companies at my age, and I'm already bald. , I'm doing well."

Saying the word "maintenance" from the man's mouth shows that he has reached the stage where he cares a little about his age. Grandpa's health is up and down, and all the big and small things in the family are on Ren An's shoulders. The burden is huge and the workload is natural. It also doubles, and there are complicated interpersonal relationships entangled in it. These things have sharpened Ren An's temper even more. The middle-aged man has become more and more stable with his sword posture. Now, with Cheng Lin by his side, he is very relaxed.

There are many things at home, thanks to Cheng Lin's help. If grandpa and grandpa are hospitalized, Ren An can't get away. Provide the best medical conditions, but after all, outsiders are not as caring as their own family members. Cheng Lin is smart and sweet-mouthed, and he pleases Ren An's family. He gradually became more cheerful.

In fact, Cheng Lin himself has a lot of work on hand. He is going to graduate early, and he has a few credits to rush to complete. The coffee shop Daewoo and Qiao Fei and Zhang Luo don’t need to be watched every day. They are the hotel chain that Xiang Tao invested in. Cheng Lin really couldn't bear the acquisition project, so when he finished his credits, he simply spent his entire time doing an internship at a well-known branch of this hotel in the capital city.

Cheng Lin felt that he didn't have so much time to waste, and he didn't make any gimmicks from the grassroots, so he directly parachuted into the management. His identity was sensitive, and others gave him a little bit. Cheng Lin's attitude was also modest, and he wandered around with his old colleagues every day. After learning something, I will gradually understand why it is always unprofitable. A simple summary is that it is too old and rigid. The personnel structure, operation model, publicity strategy, and sales methods are all out of touch with society. I only rely on my own time-honored brand , rely on the laurels, do not move forward to open up new markets, now that there are so many competitors out there, they are still lagging behind, and they are already falling behind.

Cheng Lin summed up his views in a conference room. He didn't mention it very directly, but spoke very implicitly. He just said some personal opinions and opinions. This is only half of what he said. The general interrupted: "You didn't understand the situation when you first came here. We have always been like this. If there are some performance appraisal reforms, the employees will be emotional."

She opened her mouth, and several other seniors began to complain, saying that it was difficult to recruit personnel, the loss was fast, and that it was too difficult to open up the market, but there was no liquidity. Anyway, the summary is: there is no way to start with personnel, otherwise you want No money.

Cheng Lin fought alone, and at the beginning he said a few words in response, but when he heard those old employees united against him, he wisely stopped talking.

Going home at night, the house is dark, Ren An is working overtime again.Cheng Lin didn't have the energy to eat by himself, so he just drove to pick up Ren An, and waited in Ren An's office for more than an hour. After the video conference, Ren An came back, hugged Cheng Lin, and said: "Stay, let me untie it. tie, can't breathe."

Ren An looked quite tired, Cheng Lin loosened his tie, and asked, "Do you still work overtime? It's almost ten o'clock, come with me to eat something, I haven't eaten yet."

Ren An touched Cheng Lin's stomach, which was still soft, and said with a smile, "Well, I can't starve my wife."

The two went to the hot pot restaurant that opened 24 hours a day. After eating the spicy hot pot, they sweated all over. After drinking the refreshing beer, all kinds of fatigue and troubles were diluted. Cheng Lin picked up his belly and muttered: "I hit a wall today Now, they collectively blocked my conversation, as if they were afraid that their performance would affect their income."

Ren An smiled and said: "That's because you don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, and you just stare at other people's wallets when you come by airborne. In my opinion, you deserve it. You found it yourself."

Cheng Lin: "...Brother, you are making sarcastic remarks again. I am very troubled. Then where do you think I should start? If the personnel structure is not adjusted, the whole team is lazy and has no energy at all."

Ren An thought for a while, and said: "I have a big event here, and it must be the kind that relies on the hotel's comprehensive conference. You ask your side to organize a team to bid, and finally hold an internal competition. Bonuses, let’s see if we can gain some momentum, brother, this activity is quite rich and profitable.”

As soon as Cheng Lin heard the calculations in his mind, he said, "Hey, that sounds good, but brother, thinking about such a big chain brand, I can't even handle a single hotel now, and my life feels so slim."

What do you do when life is hard?Go farming.

Cheng Lin set up his own land in the farm. From sowing, he did everything by himself, and led Ren An to do farm work in the field. Mr. Ren An felt awkward at first, standing helplessly in the muddy field after the heavy rain. There was a thick layer of mud on the soles of the shoes, and it was difficult to walk, let alone bend over holding a hoe. Cheng Lin rarely saw Ren An being so clumsy, squatting on the ridge beside him like an old farmer, laughing He leaned forward and turned backwards, and then taught Ren An what to do in a decent manner.

The small vegetable seedlings broke through the ground, then grew tall and lush, and then produced fruits of various colors. Cheng Lin tidied up the land and felt at ease. Looking at the black, black, yellow and yellow land, such colorful fruits grew. The leaves and fruits are amazing.

Ren An was gradually taught by Cheng Lin to get used to it. When the fruit was harvested, he picked it with great enthusiasm. He picked a full basket and sent it to relatives. He felt that it was better than sweating profusely at Chen Min Releasing stress is a very simple and simple joy.

Ren An sometimes thought that what Cheng Lin brought to him was also this kind of simple and down-to-earth feeling.
