Chapter 285: Shortage of Manpower
Chapter 285: Shortage of Manpower
The next morning, Huang Xiaochuan called Cao Charlie and asked him to hire a law firm in Hong Kong to arrange for someone to come to Shanghai to draft the equity agreement.
Charlie Cao has a very strong sense of execution. He completed all the tasks assigned by Huang Xiaochuan in just one day and booked the plane tickets to Shanghai. Because there were many things to do in Shanghai, this business trip had the largest number of people traveling to Shanghai.
Lin Junfeng was also on the list of people going to Shanghai, and this was his first business trip to Shanghai.
I don't know what the boss was thinking, actually wanting to open "Baijiali" in mainland China? Does the mainland have such a consumer group?
Huang Xiaochuan, on the other hand, was troubled by one thing: he had almost no people at his disposal. His business was developing too fast, but his manpower was seriously out of balance, which was not going to work.
After thinking it over, I remembered Ding Yi's girlfriend, Qi Huan.
"Old Ding, are you free tonight?"
Ding Yi glanced at Huang Xiaochuan and concluded that this guy was either being overly solicitous or had ulterior motives, so he immediately became wary.
"what?"
"Bring your sister Huan along, I'll treat you both to dinner."
Ding Yi looked wary: "Why did you suddenly decide to invite me to dinner? Tell me what's up, and I'll decide whether to go or not."
Huang Xiaochuan gave Ding Yi a disdainful look: "Look at you, as if I would sell you out. If you need anything, ask your sister Huan for help."
"Tch! I knew it. Let me tell you, my Huanhuan is very busy lately and may not have time."
"vomit!"
Huang Xiaochuan almost threw up.
"When did you become so mushy? And still calling her Huanhuan?"
"A nickname, this is a nickname, do you understand? Xiangwu Ning!"
"I"
Huang Xiaochuan swallowed the word "fuck" back.
If he didn't need a favor, Huang Xiaochuan would have already confronted him, but he had no choice but to back down because he needed Qi Huan's help!
"I'd like to ask your sister Huan to recommend a few people for me. I'd like to find some professional accountants."
Upon hearing what this was about, Ding Yi immediately made an outrageous demand.
"Is that all? Just treat me to a seafood feast like Ah Yi Abalone's tonight."
Damn, that bamboo bar hit pretty hard.
Huang Xiaochuan gritted his teeth and agreed.
"How about Huanghe Road tonight?"
He then muttered under his breath, "That damn Ding Gungun."
"Did you just curse at me?" Ding Yi not only has good eyesight, but his hearing is also very sharp.
Huang Xiaochuan, of course, wouldn't admit it: "No? Why would I scold you? It's just a meal! It's not like I can't afford to treat you."
Huang Xiaochuan took a moment to call his aunt and Yu Xiang, telling them that he had something to do that night and wouldn't be home for dinner, and that they didn't need to wait for him.
Worried that Ding Yi might drive after drinking, Huang Xiaochuan didn't let him drive and arranged for someone to pick him up and drop him off.
At 6:30 p.m., Huang Xiaochuan appeared at Haibaofang. The proprietress greeted him warmly as soon as she saw him.
"Oh my! Mr. Huang, you've finally come to patronize our business! I've missed you so much!"
Huang Xiaochuan felt incredibly awkward listening to this! What do you mean by "I miss you so much"? You might as well just say you miss your wallet. It's better to be a little more pragmatic than to be ambiguous.
"Boss lady, when did you become Feng Gong's apprentice?"
The proprietress was stunned for a moment, then realized that Feng Gong always said one of his lines during the Spring Festival Gala every year: "I've missed you all so much!"
'
"Mr. Huang, you're joking. How many guests are there tonight? What are the plans?" The proprietress quickly got back to the point and asked Huang Xiaochuan about his plans for the evening.
"Wait a moment! The guests haven't arrived yet. Let's see what they'd like to eat later?"
"Okay, then I'll take you to a private room for tea first. Feel free to contact me if you need anything."
"OK!"
Upon entering the private room, a female waitress served Huang Xiaochuan tea and water. Huang Xiaochuan looked around the room.
The furniture and tableware in the private room have all been replaced, giving it a luxurious look. Even the decorations in the private room have been changed, making it appear even more magnificent.
Huang Xiaochuan shook his head. The restaurants on Huanghe Road were starting to get busy. Before, they only focused on the exterior, but now they were decorated to the extreme, inside and out.
A dozen minutes later, Ding Yi entered the private room, followed by two people: Qi Huan and Qi Huan's roommate and best friend, Wang Tiantian.
As soon as Ding came in, he started yelling, "Big spender, have you arranged the dishes? Let me tell you, don't be stingy."
To save face for this guy in front of Qi Huan, Huang Xiaochuan didn't argue with him.
"Qi Huan, I don't know what you like to eat, so pick whatever you like! Order whatever you like."
Qi Huan seemed somewhat uncomfortable in this place.
"Huang Xiaochuan, shall we eat somewhere else? I took a look when I came in, and the food here seems particularly expensive. It's not worth eating here."
Look how comforting Qi Huan's words are. That damned Ding Gungun must have accumulated some good karma in his past life to have such good fortune.
During their time together, Ding Yi kept many things from Qi Huan, afraid of scaring her. He even removed the tags from the dozen or so "Baijiali" clothes he had extorted from Huang Xiaochuan. But even so, Qi Huan never wore those clothes.
Even though Ding Yi insisted on giving them to her, she had never worn them. Fortunately, there were no specialty stores in mainland China, so Qi Huan didn't know the price of these clothes, otherwise she definitely wouldn't have accepted them.
According to Ding Yi, the car was borrowed from Huang Xiaochuan, and the cell phone also belonged to Huang Xiaochuan. He made Huang Xiaochuan the scapegoat, using him as a human shield for everything. For the sake of Huang Xiaochuan's future happiness, Huang Xiaochuan had to put up with it.
"No need, no need, someone will reimburse us for today's meal. Let's eat as much as we want," Huang Xiaochuan quickly made up an excuse.
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi immediately took the menu from Qi Huan.
"Let me order!"
Huang Xiaochuan, quick as a flash, snatched the menu from Ding Yi's hand and handed it back to the waiter.
"There are four of us. The ladies will have bird's nest and the gentlemen will have abalone. The rest can be arranged by the proprietress. Just something refined is fine, no raw or cold dishes."
The waitress smiled and took the menu: "Yes, sir! What would you like to drink?"
Huang Xiaochuan looked at Qi Huan and Wang Tiantian: "What would you two ladies like to drink?"
Qi Huan quickly said, "We can just drink water!"
"Papaya milk, please! And a bottle of Wuliangye liquor, that's all for now. We'll contact you if we need anything else."
"OK!"
Wang Tiantian was also visiting such a place for the first time, and like Qi Huan, she was initially a little uncomfortable.
To ease the tension, Huang Xiaochuan took the initiative to say, "Qi Huan, we're not strangers. The reason I invited you to dinner is because I need your help."
Qi Huan nodded: "Ding Yi told me that you want to find some professional accountants."
"Yes, yes, that's it!"
Qi Huan then pointed to Wang Tiantian: "That's why I brought Tiantian along. She knows a lot of senior students."
