Was fired and opened a gourmet food store

The next day at noon, in a restaurant in the Regent Hotel, Xu Ziqi was sitting in a private room, quietly waiting.

Listening to the soft music in the restaurant, Xu Ziqi picked up the teacup and heard a male waiter next to him whispered: "Chef Xu, are you ordering now? Or wait a while?"

Xu Ziqi took a sip of tea and replied: "Wait a while, I'll call you later."

"Okay." The male waiter bowed and left.

When he came back with the menu, he was pulled by a female colleague and asked: "Hey, is the person sitting in private room No. 1 Xu Ziqi?"

"Yes, it is indeed him." The male waiter replied.

"Wow, it's really him. This is the first time I've seen him in person. He's so young and handsome." The female colleague was a little excited and continued to ask: "Why is he here?"

The male clerk thought for a while: "He should be waiting for the eldest lady of our hotel. Aren't they in love? The whole hotel has spread the news that on the eldest lady's birthday, they celebrated her birthday in the restaurant on the 22nd floor."

The female colleague looked at Xu Ziqi and was a little envious: "A talented man and a beautiful woman, it's great." After a pause, she said: "I heard that Chef Xu also opened a fast food restaurant on Jiefang West Road, called Food Paradise, right?"

"Yes. . "The male clerk replied, spreading his hands, and then whispered: "But I don't think it's necessary. The eldest daughter's family is so rich, and she is an only child. When Chef Xu marries her in the future, she will be the heir of this hotel. Why open a small fast food restaurant? Isn't it better to directly manage this big hotel?"

"You are right." The female colleague thought for a while and then said: "But I heard that Chef Xu's store is doing very well. Many people go there to line up every day to buy, and some people who can't buy it even pay a high price to ask people to line up. If Chef Xu turns his store into a chain store, it may not be inferior to our hotel!"

"You think too much." The male clerk looked at the female colleague with a pitiful look: "You may not know how big the gap is between a small fast food restaurant and a hotel like ours. It's more than a world of difference."

"If you ask me, Chef Xu still insists on his small fast food restaurant, it's nothing more than a man's pitiful self-esteem. In fact, why? Since he is with our young lady, isn't it better to just be a gigolo?"

"You can't say that!" The female colleague argued: "Chef Xu is also very capable. He can achieve such results in such a short time, which is not comparable to ordinary people. , are you jealous?"

"Come on, why should I be jealous of him?" The male clerk said calmly, glanced at Xu Ziqi's position, and said to the female colleague: "He can't even protect himself now."

"Haven't you heard? There are many food parks in other provinces. Although they are not named after his branches, it is obvious that they are using his fame to make money. How can he, a small fast food restaurant owner, deal with it? In the end, he can only ask our eldest lady for help. "

"It's not his fault. Besides, it's normal to ask his girlfriend for help when he encounters difficulties." The female colleague said blankly with a blank face.

"You think too simply." The male clerk shook his head and explained: "Although it is true what you said, think about the boss."

"As a boss, you have a great general like Chef Xu, who can bring a lot of benefits to the hotel. Such a talent, but his heart is not here, but in an inconspicuous fast food restaurant."

"In this situation, as a boss, would you think of finding an opportunity to let him work for you with peace of mind?"

The female colleague thought for a while: "I think so."

"That's it!" The male clerk smiled, then folded his hands, and said with a firm tone: "In fact, with a big group like us as a backer, what Chef Xu encountered is not It's not difficult to solve, but helping others also requires rewards. "

"Wait, within half a year, his small fast food restaurant will either close or merge into our hotel."

Hearing this, the female colleague looked at Xu Ziqi again, thought about it, and shook her head: "I don't think the situation you said will happen. Chef Xu has joined our hotel for a while, and he hasn't closed his store yet. That store should mean a lot to him. I think he should be a person with his own inner persistence."

"How do you know?" The male clerk sneered: "Maybe he can't wait to close his store so that he can join our group?"

"No, let's make a bet." The female colleague suggested.

"What to bet on?" The male clerk asked.

"Just bet on whether Chef Xu's store can remain in his hands in the six months you just mentioned. As for the bet..."

The female clerk thought about it and said with a smile: "Whoever wins will win.I will treat you to a meal at the restaurant on the 22nd floor. Yes, that is the restaurant where Chef Xu took Miss to celebrate her birthday. "

The male waiter was shocked: "Damn, you dare to say that? A meal there will cost me two months' salary."

"Then are you coming?"

"Come if you want, who is afraid of who!"
