“…money is important, but more important than money is gaining the respect of others through hard work, self-confidence and growth through doing a good job…”

Yu Lanlan had already obtained a college diploma earlier this year, and officially joined the job as the floor manager on the third floor. She gave a speech as an outstanding employee at the restaurant's annual meeting.

He had well-manicured short ear-length hair, a dark red hairpin, and a manager's professional suit. When he stepped off the stage, he lowered his head and smiled shyly with his tongue out.

Lu Anze looked at her, his smile made him feel a little distressed.He hasn't returned the previous "Banquet Management Manual".Because he felt that the book was the only connection they had left.

In the Tongxi Hall on the third floor, more than 90 participating employees received satisfactory bonuses and applauded the manager beamingly.

When passing by the main table, Yu Lanlan took a look at Boss Lu. At this time, he had already withdrawn his gaze from her, and got up to go to the table to toast.

The annual meeting ended, and in the afternoon Lu Anze went to Sichuan Restaurant 1 for a meeting.He has been spending a lot of time in Tongxilou recently, and the three Sichuan restaurants have been neglected.

He found a box and sat down around the table with three chefs, three store managers, purchasers, and accountants.

First ask Store 1: "Why is there no spoon in the locker in this box?" According to the inventory list, there should be five porcelain spoons in each box. When he entered the door just now, he opened the drawer and looked, but he didn't see the spoon.

Although Lu Anze is just 24 years old at this time, much younger than these store managers and chefs, but because he is the boss, and now he has opened the top restaurant in C City Row, and he has a ruthless spirit, so the few people at the table are scared. he.

The manager of a store took a while to reply, "I didn't take care of it, let them arrange it immediately."

Lu Anze said: "Everything is checked and ready, and I will conduct spot checks from time to time." Then he said to the chefs and store managers of the three restaurants: "Why are the dishes similar? Your store has reported an average 30.00% more meat than other stores in a few months. ?”

The head chef of the third shop lowered his head and said, "Every chef has a different texture, and the portions of the dishes are slightly different." This man is tall and thin, with a hunchback.It's a bit trembling to talk to this boss who I don't see often.

Lu Anze would sit down for an hour and a half, and felt that such an extensive restaurant is really not easy to manage.

After the meeting, he sat in the Mercedes-Benz car and thought about it. Tongxilou's monthly net profit exceeded 180 million for three consecutive months. With the money in his hand, he didn't have to worry about repayment, and he began to think about what to do next.

Continue to open the restaurant?The investment cost of restaurants is high, it is not easy to choose a location, and there are high uncertainties.

Sichuan restaurant?Difficult to manage.

Thinking of the foreign fast food that Ping Ping took his niece to eat every time, the taste was poor, but the business was booming.After deliberating for a while, he decided to start a Chinese fast food chain enterprise, because fast food restaurants have a large space for location selection, the quantification of dishes and service standardization are easy to manage, and the cost of unified delivery is low.Based on his experience in the catering industry, it shouldn't be difficult to do so.

In the evening, Lu Anze answered two calls in the car.One was Lai Chuan calling and asking what he was doing?He was used to this kind of sympathy, so he answered truthfully: "Sitting in the car."

Lai Chuan is in Japan at the moment and has just finished playing golf.Wiping off his sweat, he asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"not yet."

Ask: "Do you have any entertainment tonight?"

Answer: "Yes."

Lai Chuan asked: "The business of your restaurant is so good, why don't you go home early and read a book if you have nothing to do, who are you socializing with?"

Lu Anze said, "Director Luo of the police station."

Lai Chuan said: "Drink less alcohol, your stomach is not good." Lu Anze often had stomach pains and drank porridge for two days in a row. Lai Chuan cooked porridge for him, so he knew.

Lu Anze said: "Okay." After hanging up the phone, Fatty Luo called and told him to go back to Tongxi Tower quickly: "Boss Lu, I've caught everyone for you, so I have to have a good drink with my brother today. "

It turned out that a while ago, other restaurant owners saw that the business of Tongxi Restaurant was booming, and their eyes were red, so they asked someone to smash a lot of glass in Tongxi Restaurant at night.

Fatty Luo led people to watch the surveillance for several days, caught the little hooligan who smashed the window, and interrogated the boss behind the scenes.He also asked the boss why he didn't smash the sports car at the door, and the boss said, "Don't dare to smash it, I'm afraid I will pay for it if I catch it."

This person compensated Tongxilou 2 yuan for glass repairs and was detained for five days.Killing chickens to make an example to monkeys also sounded the alarm for other people who wanted to make trouble here.So Lu Anze wanted to invite Fatty Luo to dinner.

Lu Anze didn't like to drink with Director Luo of the police station, because he likes to drink cold beer in the first half, and pour some whiskey when he really can't hold on in the second half.Boss Lu's stomach was so painful that he had to go on a hunger strike for three days to protest every time he was with him.

Fatty Luo likes to ask Boss Lu to eat and sing, because he thinks this brother is the same type of person as he is, the type who drinks alcohol and is arrogant.He thinks that they are so much alike: bold, about the same size, and they sing just as well, and after a pour of whiskey, they become brothers who have been separated for many years and reunited.

The few people drank until twelve o'clock at night before going home separately.

Lu Anze drank 3 bottles of iced bazaar and a bottle of whiskey this night.The stomach was like freezing in an ice hole and burning on an iron plate. After shaking hands with Fatty Luo and saying goodbye, he sat in the back of the Mercedes-Benz and let the driver, Lao Hu, take him home.As soon as the car got on the main road, it bumped twice on a speed bump. Lu Anze spat out all over his mouth, all over the seat cushions and floor mats. After vomiting, he swayed to the side and lost consciousness.

Lao Hu sent the boss downstairs to his house, looked back to see that the boss was asleep, yelled twice, sat and waited for a while, smelled something wrong in the car, got out of the car, opened the door of Boss Lu, opened the door and saw everywhere It's all black vomit.When Lao Hu turned on the overhead light, his legs were so frightened that his legs were limp and covered in blood. He called out "Boss Lu Lu Lu" several times, and Lu Anze remained motionless like a stone.

Trembling, Lao Hu sat back in the cab and dragged Boss Lu to the Provincial Hospital.

The nurse carried the patient to the emergency room on an emergency stretcher.Lao Hu was carrying the boss's bloody suit jacket, sitting on a chair in the corridor and taking a nap.Lao Hu was dozing off in a dream, and was awakened by the ringing of the mobile phone coming out of his suit pocket, hesitating whether to answer it or not.The mobile phone echoed the main themes in the pocket of the suit, and finally the nurse ran over to answer the call, and Lao Hu pressed the answer button. He thought it was time to find someone.

Over there, Lai Chuan made five phone calls and Lu Anze didn't answer, he was annoyed, when he got through the phone, he said fiercely: "What are you doing!"

Lao Hu was stunned for a while before asking: "Which one are you?" Lao Hu is in his 40s, with gray temples and a stammer.

Lai Chuan over there was also stunned for a moment, looking at the phone, did he make a mistake?impossible.He asked, "Where's Lu Anze?"

The old Hu said in a rough voice: "You, you, you know Mr. Lu, who are you? I, I, and I are the driver of Mr. Lu."

Lai Chuan said, "Oh, I'm his friend. What about others?"

Old Hu said: "He's being rescued. In the hospital."

Lai Chuan heard his hairs standing on end, and suddenly sat up from the bed and asked, "What's going on? Which hospital?"

Lao Hu struggled to give a general idea.Lai Chuan's mind was buzzing, he hung up the phone and began to change his clothes, asking his assistant to arrange a flight back home for him.He is going to the hospital immediately now.

Here, Lu Anze found out that it was stomach bleeding, he had initially stopped the bleeding and diminished the inflammation, and he was gradually waking up. He was transferred to the [-]th floor of the inpatient department and put on a bed near the door of a three-person ward in the Department of Gastroenterology.

After tossing around like this, it was already past two o'clock in the morning.He asked Lao Hu to go back to rest first, and come back tomorrow morning.Lao Hu hung the bloody suit on the back of the chair next to him, and said to the boss: "Then Mr. Lu Lu, I will go back to sleep and come early tomorrow morning. I will bring you whatever you want to eat." Lu Anze said: "Let's talk about it tomorrow." Lao Hu left.

He lay alone on the hospital bed, silently waiting for the stomach pain to pass.After a while, the nurse came over and installed a built-in needle and began to draw water.The nurse asked him, "Where's your family?" She said softly, "I'm alone." The nurse asked him to lie down and not move around, and not to get up, so as not to irritate his stomach again.Lu Anze said, "Okay." The nurse looked at him and said, "If you need anything, just ring the bell in front. I'll come and help you. Don't move around." She smiled at the nurse as a thank you.The cramps in his stomach made him temporarily lose his ability to speak.

The next morning, before seven o'clock, Lai Chuan arrived at the ward.

He left the driver and bodyguards outside the ward, and came in alone. He saw Lu Anze lying on the bed alone, hanging water with his eyes closed, wearing trousers and a shirt. The front of the shirt was stained with blood. The anger will not hit one place.

People who are hospitalized all get up early, because the nurses will come to draw blood and measure body temperature in the morning, etc., and the cleaners will also come early to clean up, so when Lai Chuan came, the other two patients in the ward had already woken up, and the family members were rushing to take care of them. The folding cot that accompanied the night was put away and sent back to the warehouse, ready to go to the cafeteria for dinner.

He gently sat on the chair next to him, looked at the people on the hospital bed, and waited for him to wake up.

Lu Anze didn't fall asleep at all, he thought Lao Hu was coming when he heard the noise, but when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Lai Chuan, he was a little surprised, didn't this person go to Japan?

Seeing him awake, Lai Chuan asked him, "Are you brainless? Only people without brains drink like you. Why don't you just pour it into your lungs, and die faster. You! Stupid!" He said so The family members of the patients next to me all looked this way.Who do you think this person is?Why are you talking to a patient like that.

After the fire is over, is there any problem found out?The patient replied softly: "It's nothing, stomach bleeding." Lai Chuan stared at him for a while, took out his mobile phone and called Su Mei and said, "Aunt Su Mei, find the best gastroenterologist in Beijing, and send him this afternoon." Come to the Provincial Hospital of City C."After speaking, I hung up.

Lai Chuan saw that Lu Anze was sweating all the time, with sweat in his hair and neck, and wanted to wipe it for him, but found that there was nothing on the table at the head of the bed, so he took out a yellow and blue checked handkerchief from his sweatpants pocket, He leaned over and stretched out his arms to wipe the sweat on both sides of his neck.Her usually unruly hair fell down and fell over her eyes and cheeks.

His palms are broad and his fingers are warm, but they feel cool when they touch the patient's skin.

At this time, the patient's stomach pain improved a little, and he asked, "You haven't wiped your nose with this handkerchief, have you?"

Lai Chuan walked in a hurry at night, wearing the white sportswear he wore when he played golf yesterday, and the handkerchief in his pocket was also used to wipe sweat yesterday.He said, "I wiped something else." The person on the bed turned his head to the side, not wanting him to wipe it.

He stood up and walked to the end of the bed to touch the patient's feet to see if he was cold.

Lu Anze was tall and long-legged, with one leg slightly bent and leaning against the bed rail, and the other stretched obliquely to the end of the bed.Lai Chuan touched his straight foot and found that the sock on the back of his foot was hard, so he took off the sock, and saw a streak of reddish-brown blood stains printed on his instep near the ankle, on the cold white skin Especially dazzling.Touching the bottom of the trousers is also hard and dried blood.It was because Lu Anze vomited it up by himself last night, and it was already dry after a night of drying.While pulling the other foot of the man over to take off the sock, he said, "If I don't come, do you plan to lie here alone until you are discharged from the hospital?" He said and put the two socks together and threw them under the bed in the trash can.

I went to the bathroom of the ward to wash my hands, took out the handkerchief that I had just wiped off my sweat, soaked some water, and came back to carefully wipe off the blood stains on the instep, and then pulled off the small sheet issued by the hospital and covered it from feet to stomach.

Lu Anze lay down and let Lai Chuan take off his socks and cover him with a quilt.Last night he felt that his feet were so wet that he wanted to take off his socks, but he was afraid that he would vomit blood out of control when he sat up, so he wore them until now. He said: "Let's go after hanging the water today, and sleep well." .”

At this time, the nurse came in to change the bottle, heard it, and said, "You won't be able to walk today, the bleeding is heavy, you should stay for at least three days."

Lai Chuan told the nurse: "Arrange a single room, we need to change rooms."

The nurse was going to yell at him: You thought it was a hotel and changed the room for a single room.Suddenly, I thought of two men in black standing outside. Looking at Lai Chuan again, I felt that this person should not be offended, so I swallowed back the impoliteness that came to my lips, and said simply and politely: "Sorry, I don't have a private room."

The nurse went to change the bottle for the patient next to him, and Lai Chuan called Su Mei again: "Aunt Su Mei, let the hospital get a single room for us to transfer to the ward." When he said this, the nurse glanced at him angrily.

Lu Anze looked at Lai Chuan, do you think it's all right?He planned to leave the hospital in the afternoon at the latest. He had a small amount of stomach bleeding a few times before, and each time he went back to sleep and drank the next day, and there was nothing wrong with it.

When Lai Chuan called, Lao Hu came with a box of porridge. When he entered the ward, he saw Lai Chuan unconsciously bowed, then put the porridge on the table and said, "Xi Xi—the rice, it's still hot." .

Lai Chuan raised his head and asked the nurse who was about to go out, "Can I have porridge now?"

The nurse said: "Lie down and eat slowly, half a bowl at most." After speaking, she looked at Lu Anze and left.

Lai Chuan picked up the porridge in one hand and blew on a small plastic spoon in the other, and began to feed people the porridge.The patient took two bites and said, "Your feeding skills are not good."

Lai Chuan said: "It's the first time you feed someone, so take care of yourself."

After taking a few more mouthfuls, Lai Chuan couldn't control the angle, and half a spoonful of porridge spilled out from the corner of the patient's mouth. He quickly wiped it with a paper towel, and then smeared the porridge on the spoon onto the patient's face.Lu Anze wiped it himself with his fingers, and then wiped his fingers on the paper towels that Lai Chuan gave him when he bought porridge, and said, "That's enough. I'm full."

Lai Chuan disagreed and asked him to eat again. While speaking, he saw the blood stains on Lu Anze's shirt, turned his face and said to the old nonsense who was standing next to him, who didn't dare to show his temper: "You are Mr. Lu's driver? You know his family, right?"

Old Hu said: "Recognized, I often deliver." Lu Anze often went out to drink for more than a year, so he hired this driver to take him home when he was drunk.

Lai Chuan took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Lao Hu, saying, "Go to Mr. Lu's house and bring him two sets of pajamas, including toothbrushes and towels. The pajamas are in the lower drawer on the left side of the big wardrobe in the bedroom. The one with the dinosaur pattern Don't take it."

Hearing Lai Chuan finish the last sentence, Lu Anze felt inexplicably wanting to laugh, so he chuckled twice, and his stomach felt a sharp pain in an instant.

After Lao Hu left, Lai Chuan wanted to feed porridge again, Lu Anze shook his head, Lai Chuan knew from his face that his stomach was hurting, so he didn't force him, put down his things and sat beside him anxiously waiting.After about half an hour, the nurse came again to change the fluid, and announced in a friendly voice, "There is a single room available in the cadre intensive care ward on the sixth floor, and you can go down to live in it."

Lai Chuan asked: "How many bottles of liquid are there?"

The nurse said, "The last bottle."

Lai Chuan asked: "Why does the hanging still hurt? Why is it useless?"

The nurse said, "It's not the painkiller that was suspended."

Lai Chuan held the infusion list in his hand and looked at it, but he didn't know much about the names of the medicines on it. Under the influence of his mother, he paid attention to health preservation since he was a child, and he had never been hospitalized.He thought that the experts would come in the afternoon, and he would look at it at that time, so he said, "Okay, this bottle will be transferred to the ward."

After finishing speaking, he looked down at the ground, and said to Lu Anze: "Give me your mobile phone, and I'll call your driver to bring me my slippers and underwear. I've been watching you in the hospital for a few days."

By saying this, he managed to attract the attention of the two people next to him, and glanced at them.I wonder who these two people are?

Lu Anze felt a little awkward, so he used his mobile phone and endured the pain to send a text message to Lao Hu asking him to pack all his things into a suitcase and bring them here.

Lao Hu came back with the suitcase not long after, Lu Anze saw that he was standing beside him with nothing to worry about, so he told him to drive the car to a car wash shop to have it cleaned.

Lai Chuan said: "I don't want that car anymore, how can I clean it up like that?"

Lu Anze shook his head at the bewildered Hu, and raised his chin, meaning: Don't listen to this man, just go.Then I closed my eyes and lay quietly, relaxed my body, and peacefully coexisted with the severe stomach pain.I don't know why my heart always echoes what Lai Chuan said just now: How can I clean it up like that?
