My 1978 Hotel

Chapter 121: Invite me to dinner, you are not worthy
Guo Huai had just parked the car when his phone rang. Guo Huai glanced at it and frowned slightly. Who was it? Why didn't they eat in the middle of the day? "Hey, Team Leader Xu?"

"Wife, you drive."

Guo Huai quickly answered the phone, unbuckled his seatbelt, and called his wife Yao Na to drive. "Team Leader Xu, I was just thinking of calling you. Haha, we just released a few new dishes in the restaurant, and I was thinking of inviting you to try them."

Xu Chang's lungs were filled with rage, about to explode. "Eat! Eat your mother's legs!" "Manager Guo, forget about the meal."

Xu Chang's words made Guo Huai's heart skip a beat. What happened again? Hadn't the inspection report come out? Could it be that the B&B was involved? "Li Feng seems to have a significant background. This is going to be troublesome." Guo Huai was no ordinary person and quickly guessed something.

"Team Leader Xu, did my business cause you trouble?"

Guo Huai said hurriedly. "This is my fault. Team Leader Xu, whatever you need me to do, I will definitely not hesitate. Whether it's an apology or compensation, I will definitely not say no." After saying these words, Xu Chang's anger dissipated a little.

"I met a young man who was just a fool."

Xu Chang complained a bit. "I wanted to apologize, but they ignored me. Manager Guo, you know a little bit about Li Feng. Can you think of a way to talk him over? I'll owe you a favor."

"Team Leader Xu, what are you talking about? This matter was caused by me in the first place. Well, my wife and Li Feng's wife are colleagues. I will ask my wife to find out and call you as soon as I have any news." Guo Huai said a lot of nice things, and finally Xu Chang's anger dissipated.

However, he still did not accept Guo Huai's invitation and had no appetite. Guo Huai hung up the phone with a frown on his face. This time, something had happened. He had wanted to flatter someone, but the managers of several stores had decided to cause trouble for Li Feng's B&B.

Unexpectedly, this person's low-key background is quite deep. Guo Huai rubbed his brows. He had to find a way to solve this matter. If he didn't offend Xuchang, although the Huicai Garden would not be a big problem, he would be in trouble.

Alas, Huicai Garden is a large group, and Team Leader Xuchang didn't dare to make a move. But Guo Huai is not only in charge of Huicai Garden, but also has other businesses. He has to show his respect to Team Leader Xu. "Wife..."

"Well, what happened?"

Yao Na was driving seriously and heard her husband's tone that he had encountered some troubles, but she thought that her husband would be able to solve it, just like usual.

"Don't you have a colleague whose husband runs a B&B? Our store is planning to organize a team-building event. Can you help ask them?" Guo Huai said after a moment of thought.

"You're talking about Han Zhaoxia's husband. He runs a homestay in Xiangshan Village, but there are usually not many people there. Recently, he's been criticized by many people online as a black-hearted businessman, holding some kind of health banquet and Jiangnan No. 1 Fresh scam... I think it's better to forget it." Yao Na usually doesn't think much of Han Zhaoxia, not to mention that Han Zhaoxia's husband got a Mercedes-Benz at noon, as if to outdo her. That's why she didn't want her husband to take his employees to Li Feng's homestay for team building.

"After all, we're colleagues, so if you can help, then give it a hand."

Guo Huai wanted to show his affection to get in touch with Li Feng. As for the report, Li Feng had no idea it was them who did it. "Why should I help them? Husband, don't talk about these trivial things. I'm hungry."

"Good good."

Guo Huai was anxious, but this wasn't something that could be resolved with just a few words. "I'll see if I can find Teacher Han and tell her when I pick her up this afternoon. I think the B&B will be happy to accept my timely help."

Xu Chang had just called and didn't elaborate, otherwise Guo Huai wouldn't have thought the B&B was truly out of business. Yao Na parked the car, glanced at the car next to her, and frowned slightly. This car looked familiar, seemingly driven by Han Zhaoxia's husband.

Li Feng, Han Zhaoxia, Jiang Xiaowen, and their two children had just entered the store. Huicai Garden was doing very well and was almost full at noon. "This seat is a little worse."

"I can't help it. I'm a little late."

A little closer to the bathroom. Fortunately, the bathrooms are now well maintained. Even so, I still feel a little uncomfortable. "How about waiting a moment?"

"Never mind. It's okay."

After Han Chaoxia said this, Li Feng didn't say anything else. There were too many people here and he didn't know how long he would have to wait.

"It's actually quite nice. It's a bit quieter here."

Jiang Xiaowen smiled and said that it was close to the bathroom, but in fact it was still some distance away.

"Then let's order."

Li Feng scanned the order code on the corner of the table, selected a few fresh dishes, and asked Jiang Xiaowen. "I have no problem with anything."

"Let me see."

Han Zhaoxia grabbed her phone and ordered two more dishes that Jiang Xiaowen liked, as well as a sweet and sour pork tenderloin for the two children, adding a jug of fresh juice. "Almost done."

"Okay, I'll place the order then."

At just over 200 yuan, it wasn't particularly expensive. After all, we didn't order any specialties like the stinky mandarin fish. It was just simple home-cooked food, more than enough for a family of four plus Jiang Xiaowen. There were three meat dishes, three vegetable dishes, snacks, and juice.

After the dishes were ordered, juice and snacks arrived quickly, and Li Feng poured juice for everyone.

"I will do it myself."

"It's okay, you're welcome."

Li Feng said with a smile. "By the way, are you still busy with the enrollment?"

"Almost there. Just one more trip this afternoon."

Jiang Xiaowen said this, and Han Zhaoxia sighed helplessly. "I'm afraid I have to go there again tomorrow, and two friends asked me to help adjust my shift."

"Teacher Bai's class?"

Jiang Xiaowen took a sip of juice.

"you do not say."

Han Chaoxia was helpless. "Teacher Bai's son was admitted to Peking University last year, and coincidentally, Teacher Bai is teaching again this year. Many people have been trying to transfer their children to other classes."

"Don't blame anyone."

Han Zhaoxia said with a smile. "If Yiyi wasn't so young, I'd have asked Teacher Bai to take care of her." Small cities only have two or three students admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University each year. If I can raise a son who gets into Peking University, I might be able to raise a Peking University student, too.

Everyone wants their children to be successful, and who wouldn't want their child to be in Teacher Bai's class? "It's just a coincidence there was a system issue. Otherwise, why would we have gone through so much trouble? We could have just blamed it on the system."

"Social skills are indispensable."

Society is like this. Small cities have more social customs. Li Feng used a lot of connections when he opened his shop. The guests he invited to dinner were all small ones. During the holidays, if a gift was not delivered properly, he might get into trouble.

Giving gifts doesn't necessarily mean you'll get things done, but not giving gifts will definitely mean you'll get things done. This is the social etiquette of small cities. According to my brother-in-law, I'm not sure who gave me a gift, but I definitely remember who didn't.

"lets change a topic."

"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."

The dishes came right after I finished talking about it. Don’t say that the Huicai Garden can become bigger and stronger. The taste and ingredients are all good. The chef’s skills are really good. “Try it quickly, the steamed preserved meat is very fragrant.”

Guo Huai and Yao Na came to the reserved small box and told the waiter to serve the dishes quickly.

"Honey, I need to go to the bathroom."

"Ah."

Guo Huai checked his phone. Xu Chang had sent him a few more messages. "Team Leader Xu, you don't realize that the health banquet is truly healthy, that Jiangnan's best fresh food is truly fresh, and you think Li Feng is just trying to cheat for favors. No wonder you ignored him."

"But I'm afraid this is a bit difficult to handle."

Guo Huai frowned. The health banquet was no longer open to reservations, and the Jiangnan First Fresh section was also closed to the public. He was probably planning a team-building event, hoping to attract his wife. "Oh, really. I wanted to flatter someone, but now, instead of flattering them, I've caused a lot of trouble."

We need to deal with Team Leader Xu's problem first. I wonder if Li Feng has guessed it was them who did it. "I'm afraid there's some speculation, but thankfully we have the Huicai Garden brand, and the city is giving us some respect, so there won't be any problems."

"If we can deal with Team Leader Xu, we'll be almost done with this matter."

At most, Guo Huai thought about not provoking Li Feng anymore. While Guo Huai was trying to figure out how to help Xu Chang calm Li Feng's anger, Yao Na bumped into Han Zhaoxia.

"Hey, Zhaoxia, Xiaowen, why didn't you tell me you were coming to the Huicai Garden?"

Yao Na hadn't expected Han Zhaoxia and her family to come to Huicai Garden for dinner. What a coincidence! "If I had known, I would have told me and saved a good seat for you."

Han Zhaoxia and Jiang Xiaowen weren't too fond of Yao Na, and now that she was showing off, they felt even more uncomfortable. "No, just a casual meal. It's the same anywhere. It's nice to be quiet here."

"I see. That's it."

Yao Na said with a smile, "Actually, it's quieter in the box."

Well, this Yao Na is really annoying. Li Feng took a look at Yao Na. She was dressed up gorgeously. Although she was pretty, she had a bit of an internet celebrity face. Maybe she had plastic surgery.

"Oh, Asaka, this is my husband, I don't see him very often."

"Ah."

Han Chaoxia didn't want to pay attention to Yao Na, but since Yao Na refused to leave, it would be difficult to chase her away.

"Li Feng."

Li Feng said calmly, and Yao Na smiled. "Boss Li, Zhaoxia has been talking about you a lot. I heard you run a B&B. Business is good, right?"

"It's okay, I'll make do with it."

Li Feng looked at Yao Na's half-smile and thought to himself that this woman was probably looking for trouble. "Normally, apart from a few health banquets, there's not much to do in a day. Alas, if it weren't for a few regular customers, I would have considered stopping the health banquets. It's too much effort and there's not much money."

Yao Na secretly curled her lips. It wasn't much money, but she could make a lot of dirty money. Why was she pretending?

"Yeah, business is always harder."

Yao Na said with a smile. "My husband has so many social engagements that he rarely has time to eat with me. I envy people like you, Zhaoxia. You have so much time and can spend time with your family often."

"It's pretty good."

Li Feng said with a smile. "You're not short of money, so there's no need to work so hard."

You are not short of money, you are kidding me, Yao Na was hit by Li Feng's words.

"Oh, why don't you sit down and eat? I'm afraid you haven't eaten yet?"

Seeing that Yao Na had no intention of leaving, Li Feng stood up and invited Yao Na to sit with him. "No need, my husband has already asked the waiter to bring the food. It should be here by now. After all, our restaurant is very fast."

After saying that, she was about to leave. As Yao Na left, Jiang Xiaowen said dissatisfiedly, "This person is really annoying..."

Yao Na snorted and returned to the box, intending to complain to her husband Guo Huai. Han Chaoxia's husband was really not a good guy. Her husband must not go to his homestay for team building.

"What did you say?"

Guo Huai stood up immediately. "Is Li Feng in the store?"

"Well, what's wrong, husband?"

Guo Huai hadn't expected to actually encounter one. This was a great opportunity, a favor to be done. He had no idea Yao Na and Li Feng were related, and they had just engaged in a verbal battle. "Where is she?"

"husband?"

Yao Na felt that her husband looked a little strange. What happened to Han Chaoxia’s husband in the store? Was it that important?
