Rebirth 1994: Starting from laid-off workers

In the 90s, Dongfanghong Commercial Building was one of the three most high-end shopping malls in Luonan City.

The commercial building alone occupies a huge courtyard. In addition to commercial buildings, restaurants, and cinemas, there are also karaoke halls, dance halls, photo studios, and barber shops.

It's a bit like a comprehensive shopping mall in the 21st century, which can be said to be a one-stop shop for eating, drinking and entertainment.

This year, the most fashionable buffet restaurant at the time was opened on the top floor of the commercial building.

The price of 28 yuan per person makes it prohibitive for most ordinary citizens.

Being able to eat in a place like this, these laid-off workers were dancing with excitement and rushed to the carport to push their bicycles.

Someone calculated the accounts and found out that each person had 28 yuan, which means that these 100 people had a huge sum of 3000 yuan.

Which ordinary person can spend 3000 yuan to treat someone to dinner these days?What's more, they all know that Zhang Jiaqiang's family is not rich either.

Many people calmed down, and the gray-haired Wang Aiguo pulled Zhang Jiaqiang and said.

"My family is strong. Everyone can go home and eat. Anyway, we won't go to work in the afternoon!"

Since you want to do big things, you can't go back on your word, especially when it comes to establishing leadership prestige with your subordinates.

Zhang Jiaqiang took out a stack of vouchers from his pocket, worth 3000 yuan, and stuffed them into Wang Aiguo's hand.

"Master, I, Zhang Jiaqiang, am very bad at spitting. If I say I want to eat at the buffet, I will eat at the buffet. You can take these first and use them for the checkout later. You will be refunded or compensated for any excess!"

These vouchers have an expiration date. If they are not used as soon as possible, they will become a piece of paper.

Anyway, it’s free if you don’t use it. Why not spend 3000 yuan to win over people and build prestige?
There is still about [-] left, which is enough to purchase household items!

With so much money, Wang Aiguo's hands trembled and he looked at Zhang Jiaqiang in surprise.

"Jia Qiang, this is so much money"

However, Zhang Jiaqiang waved his hand indifferently and said, "Everyone, rest assured and let's go. We'll see you at the top of Dongfanghong!"

Everyone cheered, got on their bicycles and poured out of the factory gate.

In the empty carport, only Zhang Jiaqiang and his wife were left.

"Honey, let's eat at the buffet first, and then go on a shopping spree. You can buy whatever you like today. Don't save money!"

Zhang Jiaqiang said and gave her the remaining vouchers.

Ye Xiumei saw what was in the envelope clearly, her eyes widened in shock, her face was full of disbelief, and she stuttered when she spoke.

"You, where did you get so many coupons?"

Zhang Jiaqiang looked around and saw that no one was around, lowered his voice and briefly explained what happened today.

"Oh my god, aren't you afraid of the factory director's revenge?" Ye Xiumei was so frightened that she covered Cherry's mouth like a child, her pretty face turning red instantly.

Zhang Jiaqiang was amused by her appearance and laughed.

In fact, he was also worried about Director Yin's revenge, but nothing would happen until Lao Yin figured out the situation.

By the time Director Yin lost his patience, Zhang Jiaqiang's wings had already hardened.

In addition, he also has a plan to strike first and eliminate these vampires to avoid future trouble!
Of course, I couldn't say these words to my wife, so I comforted her, "Don't worry, he is avoiding me like the god of plague now. How can he think of revenge? When he wants to take revenge, he won't have a chance!"

Ye Xiumei wanted to ask again, but Zhang Jiaqiang carried her into the back seat of the car, "Wife, just don't worry, I'll take care of everything, let's go have a meal!"

"Oh, I, I have work in the afternoon!" Ye Xiumei was shy and anxious, struggling left and right in the car seat.

Zhang Jiaqiang got on the bicycle with his legs turned and laughed, "What kind of work do you still have to do? I asked for leave for you, and the salary is a penny!"

"Ah, what kind of leave did you ask for for me?"

"Maternity leave!"

"Get out of here, you stinky gangster" "A man is not a gangster, he is in good health. My wife, this proves that my husband, I am in good health!"

The bicycle carried the young couple out of the factory, leaving behind a string of laughter and curses on the road.

"Why are you all standing at the door? There are no seats available?"

As soon as Zhang Jiaqiang and Ye Xiumei got off the elevator, they saw the hundred or so people standing outside the glass door of the cafeteria, all with wilted heads and heads, like roosters that had been defeated in a fight.

Wang Aiguo said with a bitter face, "Jia Qiang, why don't we find a place to eat a bowl of noodles, dry rice or a handful of meat, but not this high-end place!"

Zhang Jiaqiang said, "Hey, we've come all the way here, why don't we eat? It's okay if there's no room. The buffet turns over quickly. Let's wait. We don't have to go to work in the afternoon anyway!"

Zhao Xiaoyong squeezed through the crowd and came to the front, blushing and said, "Brother Qiang, it's not that there is no room, they won't let us in!"

I used to often hear that stores bully customers, but today I actually encountered it once, and Zhang Jiaqiang immediately stared at him!

"How dare you, why don't we come in even though we have money to eat? Get out of the way!"

As he said this, he separated from everyone and came to the floor-to-ceiling glass door of the restaurant.

Despite the reputation of Dongfanghong's buffet, there were not many customers at noon.

Through the glass, you can see that the entire lobby of several hundred square meters on the top floor looks empty.

He stretched out his hand to push the door open.

The two young greeters in cheongsam saw Zhang Jiaqiang in old navy blue work clothes, with disgust on their faces, and shouted in unison.

"Hey, it's not time to collect swill, what are you doing here!"

Zhang Jiaqiang laughed angrily, "Today, I won't accept the swill, but can I spend money to eat?"

The greeter snorted coldly and pointed to a sign next to the door, "It says, disheveled people are not allowed to enter. Are you illiterate?"

A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. This saying is true in any era, but it is not a standard for measuring the dignity of a person.

Zhang Jiaqiang did not show any signs of attack, and asked with a smile, "I know the words, but I don't understand why disheveled people are not allowed to enter. I spend money to eat, why should I look at my clothes?"

Another greeter said in a coquettish voice, "Don't you understand such a simple thing? Forget it, I'll explain it to you. We are a high-end restaurant, and we are full of distinguished guests. Why don't you dress like this?" It looks like it affects people's dining mood, do you understand?"

Zhang Jiaqiang secretly laughed, a restaurant that costs 28 yuan per person is also called high-end, which is really shameless.

He smiled and said, "Oh, we are afraid that we will affect others. It's okay. I can book the restaurant. Call your manager. I will book your restaurant for lunch today!"

The two greeters covered their mouths and laughed, "You think this is a street noodle shop. Don't ask if you don't have two or three thousand to reserve the place!"

Just as Zhang Jiaqiang was about to ask someone to get money, a young woman wearing a white shirt and a dark green vest came out of the door with a gloomy face.

The woman gently shook the big wave on her head, looked at Zhang Jiaqiang and the two guests impatiently and said.

"What's going on? Don't you know no noise is allowed during business hours?"

The welcome guest stuck out his tongue and made a face, pointed at Zhang Jiaqiang and said, "Supervisor, this person wants to book the venue!"

The female supervisor looked sideways at Zhang Jiaqiang, but found Ye Xiumei behind him.

A smile instantly appeared on her face, and she stepped forward and grabbed Ye Xiumei's arm enthusiastically, "Xiumei, ha, it's really you. I heard that you are married. Married to a fool?"

Unexpectedly, she met her classmate. Ye Xiumei stepped back cautiously and said with a shy smile, "Xiaoxia, it's you. I, I am indeed married, but he, he is not stupid!"

Xiaoxia looked up and down, and when she saw Ye Xiumei wearing dirty work clothes, there was a trace of contempt in her eyes.

She chuckled and said, "It's better not to be stupid. I'm confused. Even though the beauty of our class didn't go to college, she didn't marry a fool. Why are you here for dinner today?"

Ye Xiumei was embarrassed and at a loss. She lowered her head and lied, "I'm shopping in the mall. I came here and planned to eat something casually!"

Xiaoxia proudly shook her head with big waves and curled her lips and said, "Since my old classmate is here, I can still afford a meal. However, you have to wait a while. I will take you in after the guests leave!"
