Chapter 121 President Liu
Time passed little by little.
It was completely dark outside the restaurant.
Just then, the restaurant's glass doors were pushed open from the outside.
A group of men in black suits walked in from outside.
Leading the way was a man with a slightly large belly and a gold tie around his neck.
This person walks with a very commanding, leader-like posture.
He is General Manager Liu of the Taizixuan Catering Group headquarters.
When Wang Cong and Zhang Ruoran saw them enter, they immediately stopped what they were doing and went to greet them together.
They were very polite, and addressed him respectfully as "Mr. Liu, you've arrived."
As Mr. Liu walked in, his eyes first fell on Zhang Ruoran.
His face showed a look of surprise.
Mr. Liu looked at Zhang Ruoran and spoke first:
"Manager Zhang, why are you at work today? Didn't headquarters issue a notice a few days ago specifically instructing you to rest at home for a few days?"
Zhang Ruoran smiled, her expression natural.
She replied:
"Mr. Liu, I'm used to being busy at the store, I just can't stand being idle. There's not much to do at home, so I came to work and also to check on the store's situation."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu burst into laughter.
He said in a joking tone:
"Manager Zhang, you didn't hear in advance that headquarters was coming to inspect our work today, so you rushed back, did you?"
Zhang Ruoran shook her head and said very seriously:
"Of course not. I only found out about this when I saw Manager Wang Cong come over after I got back to the store at noon today. I asked him about it."
Wang Cong, standing to the side, quickly nodded in agreement and began to explain to General Manager Liu:
"Yes, Mr. Liu. I noticed that my own store wasn't very busy today. I was worried that Manager Wang Yumo, who just started at this store, might not be very familiar with many of the places and work processes. So I came over early to help out. I didn't expect that Manager Zhang would come by herself at noon."
After listening to Wang Cong's explanation, General Manager Liu nodded.
He said to Zhang Ruoran:
"It seems you really love this job. But if you feel tired, you can always go back and rest. Anyway, Manager Wang Yumo is still in charge of the store, so there shouldn't be any problems."
Upon hearing Mr. Liu's words, Zhang Ruoran's expression clearly turned sour.
She is a very sensitive person.
She felt that what General Manager Liu meant by those words was to tell her to go home quickly so that she could make way for the new store manager, Wang, and not to manage things in the store.
However, although Zhang Ruoran had countless questions in her mind, she never asked them aloud.
Because she knew that everyone was an adult, and there were so many employees watching.
She couldn't possibly ask such a question in front of so many people, a question that would embarrass others and make her lose face.
Next, it was time for the formal inspection.
Li Zeyi sat at a table in the corner of the hall, drinking tea.
He watched quietly as General Manager Liu led his team to inspect the restaurant's operations, area by area.
He found it quite amusing.
Watching his own employee inspect another employee was a truly unique feeling for him, the big boss.
However, Li Ze was sitting in a booth in the lobby, which was in a somewhat remote location and the lighting was not very bright.
So when Mr. Liu and his group passed by, they only glanced at the guests in the lobby and walked past.
Mr. Liu and his colleagues didn't even notice Li Ze sitting there.
Li Ze didn't take the initiative to greet them; he just wanted to enjoy his tea and check on Zhang Ruoran.
About half an hour later.
All the necessary areas in the store have been inspected.
Mr. Liu gave the store a very high rating for its hygiene and service, and he was very satisfied.
At the same time, President Liu looked at Zhang Ruoran and said:
"Manager Zhang, you've done a great job at this store. Keep up the good work and continue to do your best here."
Hearing these words, Zhang Ruoran breathed a sigh of relief.
Cola Novels, your portable library, contains more than ten thousand volumes.
After discussing these work-related matters, the leaders prepared to go into the private room for dinner.
At this moment, they were all still standing in the hall.
Mr. Liu waved to everyone and said:
"You all go ahead and do your work. I want to wander around the lobby by myself and see how the guests are dining."
Upon hearing the leader's instructions, the newly arrived store manager, Wang Yumo, immediately turned around and went to the kitchen to get busy.
This gave Wang Cong and Zhang Ruoran some free time.
Two people were standing near the front desk.
Zhang Ruoran looked at Wang Cong and said with great gratitude:
"Manager Wang Cong, we really owe you a lot of help today. Otherwise, we would have definitely found a lot of problems during the inspection just now."
Wang Cong's face lit up with a smile when he heard Zhang Ruoran's thanks.
He said very politely, "It's only right. We're good colleagues, so helping each other is normal."
Wang Cong's face lit up with a smile when he heard Zhang Ruoran's thanks.
He said very politely, "It's only right. We're good colleagues, so helping each other is normal."
Then, Wang Cong added, "By the way, Ruoran. I've already made a reservation for tonight's barbecue at a really nice restaurant."
Zhang Ruoran nodded and said, "Okay, then let's have a good drink and relax together after get off work tonight."
Wang Cong was very happy to hear Zhang Ruoran agree so readily.
He felt that all the hard work he had done today was well worth it, and his impression of the store manager, Mr. Zhang, had definitely improved a lot.
Moreover, Zhang Ruoran seemed quite happy about going out for barbecue and drinks that evening.
Everything is moving in a positive direction.
As for Zhang Ruoran's ex-husband Li Ze, Wang Cong no longer cares about him at all.
That's his ex, and judging from Zhang Ruoran's current statements, she has clearly indicated that she no longer has any relationship with that man.
Isn't this the perfect opportunity for Wang Cong to pursue Zhang Ruoran?
If we have a few drinks tonight and have a good chat, it's very easy for the two of us to get closer in the future.
Wang Cong thought to himself with a smug satisfaction.
Li Ze sat in his seat, holding a teacup in his hand, and gently blew on the steam rising from it.
He watched the group of people wandering around the store and felt quite relaxed.
Actually, Li Ze had heard everything when Wang Cong was behaving in front of Zhang Ruoran.
He was a middle-aged man in his late twenties who had experienced everything.
Wang Cong's little schemes were as transparent as water to Li Ze.
Trying to use work as an excuse to invite Zhang Ruoran out for barbecue and drinks is such an old trick.
However, Li Ze was neither angry nor in a hurry.
Because he knew what kind of person Zhang Ruoran was.
Zhang Ruoran agreed to go drinking, which must be because she was under a lot of work pressure and wanted to talk to her colleagues.
It was definitely not because she had any other feelings for Wang Cong.
He had absolute confidence in himself and in Zhang Ruoran.
So he can just sit here and enjoy his tea.
On the other side...
Mr. Liu walked slowly around the lobby with his hands behind his back.
He looked around the store and occasionally commented on the work of the waiters, appearing very much like a leader.
Just as he walked to the corner of the lobby and came to the vicinity of that booth.
He casually turned his head and glanced at it.
Suddenly, his gaze was completely drawn to a familiar figure sitting at a table drinking tea.
Mr. Liu stopped and looked directly at the man.
He felt very strange: "That face looks so familiar. Where have I seen it before?"
Mr. Liu stood there, his mind racing.
Because the restaurant group recently got a new owner.
All senior leaders immediately went to learn about the new boss's information.
This is something every senior executive must do, and these publicly available documents include photos of the new and old bosses.
Mr. Liu mentally compared the photo with the person in front of him.
Suddenly, Mr. Liu's eyes widened and his mouth opened.
He exclaimed inwardly, "Wait! Isn't that the company's big boss, President Li Ze?!"
