Chapter 71 - Enemies
“This…” Xizi hesitated for a moment before finally shaking his head. “I really don't know, but I think it should be at least at the market price. Double the price is not a problem. How about this, you can come up. Come with me to meet our boss. Let him decide the price.”
“Boss?” Zhang Xiaoloong was stunned. Why did it feel like a group of people.
“It's our chef, the head chef.” Xizi quickly explained.
Zhang Xiaoloong naturally couldn't wish for such a thing to happen. The more one understood the dishes, the better. Although Zhang Xiaoloong was not a chef, the more they would know the value of his dishes. He believed that this dish was definitely a treasure in the eyes of a chef. As long as one had a conscience, it was impossible to set the price of the dishes at a low price.
After getting into the car, the two chatted along the way and soon arrived in front of a hotel.
Zhang Xiaoloong looked up and was stunned. He wondered if it was such a coincidence. Wasn't this still the same “Yunjiang Hotel?”
What was even more coincidental was that just as Xizi got out of the car, the Manager Chang who had been slapped by him was also walking towards them.
“Xizi,” Manager Chang called out warmly before he even got close. “I heard from Kui Zi that you took good care of him. I know that.”
“Manager Chang, I have already told Boss Kui about this matter. This time, I can only take the blame. I can't always do this. Otherwise, I won't be able to report to Boss Kui. ” Xizi looked left and right, but there was no one around, so he whispered to Manager Chang.
Zhang Xiaoloong didn't want to talk to Manager Chang, so he just sat in the car and didn't move. He thought to himself that the so-called cousin of Boss Kui was this Manager Chang. This guy really knew how to use his authority to seek personal benefits for himself.
“Hehe, alright. This dish looks pretty good to me. Look how fresh it is.” Manager Chang took a vegetable from Xizi's hand and said, “I have done it in the kitchen before. Keep your eyes away from it. Mouth. He wanted to move a bit more. There were a lot of benefits in this. Besides, I'm still here.”
” This… This isn't Boss Kui's dish. It's someone else's… ” Xizi thinks that if your cousin's dish was so good, would I still have to frown?
Manager Chang was a little unhappy when he heard that. He had asked Xizi to take care of his cousin's business, but this brat actually bought other people's dishes at the same time. This was clearly not giving him face, and he had given him all the benefits in vain.
Just as he was about to say a few words to Xizi, he turned his head and looked. However, he saw another person who looked familiar, and he was instantly startled. He even unconsciously took two steps back. “You… How did you… How dare you come back?”
“Why didn't I dare to come back?” Zhang Xiaoloong expressionlessly got out of the car.
In fact, he sighed in his heart. He did not expect to be so unlucky to meet this Manager Chang again. It seemed that he could forget about selling this dish.
However, he was also a man of principles. He would rather not sell it than lower his head to this kind of person.
He turned around and took out the bag from the car, then said to Xizi, “Sorry, you should find someone else to buy the vegetables. I won't sell it.”
“Hey, don't go. This…” Xizi was a little anxious when he saw Zhang Xiaoloong swaggering away. He had found a savior with great difficulty. At the same time, he was also a living treasure. Why did he leave with just one sentence?
He turned around and asked Manager Chang, “What's going on?”
“I wanted to ask you,” Manager Chang did not show weakness. “No matter what, my cousin is a vegetable wholesale company with proper procedures. But you would rather buy vegetables from street vendors. You even complain that the vegetables given by Kui are not good. We did not say that back then, did we? “
“Back then…” Xi Zi did not have much confidence. After all, he did get some benefits from it. “But Manager Chang, what we said is at least good dishes, right? Look at the vegetables in the car. There are a few good ones. I had no choice but to look for the top of this person's vegetables. Before we could even reach an agreement, you chased him away. What do you think we should do about this?”
” Alright, we're all on the same side, so let's not argue with our own people. ” Manager Chang looked into the car and felt that his cousin had gone too far. He could only pat Xizi on the shoulder.” This time, you can take a ride first. Later, I'll say hello to Kui Zi. I won't make it so difficult for you. Our business is going to last for a long time. We still have to understand each other, right? “
“Sigh…” Xizi had no choice but to say, “That's the only way.”
…
Zhang Xiaoloong left this time and took a taxi to the Yuanbo Agricultural Company.
It was not that he did not want to try his luck in the wholesale market, but it was based on the time. It should have passed the time when the hotels were buying. It would be a waste to go there again. He could only wait until tomorrow.
Although he was not willing to do this, he had no other choice. Otherwise, everything would be difficult at the beginning.
Furthermore, he planned to go home first today. Although the dishes that he brought were still fresh and tender, however, he kept them in the bag for two days. If he continued to stay here today, it would be three days. No matter what, it would lose some of its original color and taste.
Zhang Xiaoloong could not be considered a perfect person. He just wanted to keep this dish in its best condition when it was shown to others, because that was the original appearance of his dish.
However, there was one thing that he was very pleased with. Although the business just now did not succeed, from Xi Zi's reaction, he knew that as long as this dish was delivered to the head chef, the matter would basically not run away.
Of course, the prerequisite was that he had no conflict with the boss of the hotel or the general manager.
Thinking about how he had promised to deliver some to Chen Zhaomin every week after the dishes were served, he originally wanted to go after the discussion was settled. Now, he could only send these dishes over and let them taste fresh.
This time, he was familiar with the place. Zhang Xiaoloong quickly walked into the main door of Yuanbo's agriculture department.
The front door of the company was facing the front desk, but it was not the girl who received him last time.
Outside the front desk, there was a well-dressed man who looked a little unrestrained. He was talking about something, and from time to time, he would tease the beauty and make her smile. He seemed very pleased with himself.
“Hello, is President Chen or Chen Yaru's manager here?” Zhang Xiaoloong saw that neither of them noticed him, so he could only interrupt.
“You are…” The beautiful girl at the front desk looked over. The person who appeared made her eyes light up, but her professional instinct still asked, “Sir, do you have an appointment?”
“Uh… No.” Zhang Xiaoloong had never thought that he would have to make an appointment to meet Chen Yaru. He did not have to go through so much trouble the last time.
Of course, he did not know that the last time was specially instructed by Chen Yaru. This time, the other party did not know that he would come at all. The front desk changed people again, so naturally, they would not let him in casually.
“I'm sorry, sir. You can leave a business card. I will tell Manager Chen why you are here, or come back after you make an appointment.” The receptionist said tactfully.
Zhang Xiaoloong smiled bitterly and handed the bag over. “My name is Zhang Xiaoloong. I am friends with your manager. You can give her a call. She should…”
“Sorry, this is the company's rule.” The handsome man next to him was sizing up Zhang Xiaoloong and now he showed some disdain. “I am Manager Chen's assistant, Tang Zhiyuan. You can tell me if you need anything. No one is allowed to see Manager Chen without an appointment.”
