Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 30 Hot Pot Restaurant

Time flies, and a new semester is here again.

Busy and stressful days followed.

In order to reduce meaningless chores, Luo Jianguo was promoted by Qi Tongwei to the position of deputy director of the External Relations Department.

Qi Tongwei focused on his external business empire.

A new hotpot restaurant with delicious food has opened on Xianfeng Road near Handong University.

It's called Qiji Hotpot.

The name is not great, but it tastes good at first glance and is economical.

The same is true.

The hot pot recipe was obtained by Qi Tongwei at a high price, and the decoration was modeled after the style of later generations.

The theme of the restaurant is exquisite and compact, with booths for four and six people, as well as three large private rooms that can accommodate six tables of guests.

Inside the private room, there were two tables full of guests, all of whom were Qi Tongwei's familiar classmates or student union members, mostly from the Department of Political Science and Law.

Gao Yuliang's family, Chen Yang, Luo Qian and several good friends in the dormitory were all on the list.

The steaming hot pot is full of fragrance, the atmosphere is warm and the wine glasses are clinking.

Qi Tongwei raised his glass and said, "Thank you again, teacher, teacher's wife, and all the students for coming here today. I hope you will take good care of me in the future. Let's not go home until we are drunk today."

After he finished speaking, Qi Tongwei drank it all in one gulp, and cheers rang out one after another.

This store was opened by Qi Tongwei, who used Gao Yuliang's connections at school to rent it at a price below the market price.

The area is about 300 square meters, and is managed on a daily basis by Qi Tongfeng and Qi Tonggong, who also prepare the hot pot base.

Considering that the two were honest men, Qi Tongwei specially recruited another manager and asked them to learn from him.

There was also a girl who just graduated from high school last year, but could not get a job in finance because of family connections. We also hired a few cashiers.

The stage has been roughly set up and it is backed by a school. As long as you don't do anything stupid, you will definitely make money.

Looking at the smug Qi Tongwei, Gao Yuliang couldn't help but say something.

"Tongwei, and you, many of you are students of the Political Science and Law Department. Don't spend your days scheming for such petty gains. You should know that being an official doesn't make you rich, and being rich doesn't make you an official."

Everyone's faces straightened and they all said yes.

Qi Tongwei looked at this group of people, all respectfully following Gao Yuliang as the leader, and a word lingered in his mind: blessing and spiritual happiness.

Han Da Gang!

But I don’t know if I can be considered as the deputy gang leader.

It is normal for officials to form cliques.

There are all kinds of circles and factions, you are in one group, I am in another group, and it is rare to fight alone.

The result of fighting alone is either death or stagnation. Yi Xuexi is a good example.

After the excitement, Qi Tongwei specially sent Gao Yuliang and his family home.

At Gao's house, Qi Tongwei showed no intention of leaving. He chatted with Fangfang passionately.

The abnormality caught Gao Yuliang's attention, "Fangfang, it's late, go to bed quickly, you have classes tomorrow, stop pestering your brother Tongwei, let me talk to Tongwei for a while."

"Hey, Dad, what are you talking about?"

The girl's thoughts were exposed, and she immediately stood up with a red face and hid in the room.

Qi Tongwei didn't expect so much. There was a big age gap between them, and he just thought that Gao Fangfang was being teased by Gao Yuliang. It had become Qi Tongwei's habitual thinking that Gao Fangfang liked Hou Liangping.

Gao Yuliang laughed and said, "Tongwei, let's talk in the study."

"Hey."

It was also the first time that Qi Tongwei entered Gao Yuliang’s study, and the layout inside was exactly what he had imagined.

The room is filled with floor-to-ceiling bookcases, which are filled with all kinds of books, most of which are related to politics and law.

As he glanced around, Qi Tongwei noticed a yellowed book on the desk.

The cracked cover and slightly curled pages tell others that this book has been read many times.

History of Ming Dynasty? The 15th year of Wanli?

"This is a history book. Wei Zheng once said that using history as a mirror, we can understand the rise and fall of nations, and using people as a mirror, we can understand gains and losses." Noticing Qi Tongwei's gaze, Gao Yuliang explained.

Gao Yuliang always has endless patience with this student.

Qi Tongwei nodded in agreement.

“Human history is always surprisingly similar.

Countless regimes emerged, all took root, sprouted, and declined at roughly the same time. Today we can also find the answer in history. "

However, Qi Tongwei has different ideas. To borrow a phrase from Dangnian Mingyue: The only lesson mankind has learned from history is to never learn any lessons.

Because humans always believe that they are the exception.

"It's great that you have this understanding. By the way, do you have anything you want to say to the teacher?"

Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the teacher's eyes."

Qi Tongwei took out a document from the lining pocket of his suit, smoothed out the wrinkles, and handed it over.

"Teacher, this is a token of my heart, please accept it."

This is a share transfer contract of Lao Hotpot, with Qi Tongwei's signature on it. As long as Gao Yuliang signs this contract, he can get 20% of the shares of Lao Hotpot.

"What are you doing?" Gao Yuliang looked serious.

Of course it’s to protect you!

The most important reason for Gao Yuliang's downfall was that he did not get closer to Sha Ruijin.

However, he also had his own problems. He took a sum of money that he shouldn't have taken for Gao Xiaofeng, or perhaps it could be said that it was a token of his allegiance.

No matter what, Gao Yuliang will be his golden finger in the future. Clearing away his obstacles will be helping himself.

"Teacher Gao, I was able to open this hot pot restaurant thanks to your help. If you don't accept it, how can I ask for your help in the future?"

Gao Yuliang was very pleased with Qi Tongwei's words, and felt that it was not in vain that he had taken care of this little guy.

"No need. A hot pot restaurant only costs a few dollars. Your teacher would not look down on such a small hot pot restaurant."

It may not seem like much now, but if you open a chain store in the future, it will be a lot of money.

"Then you should accept it, just as a student showing some filial piety."

Gao Yuliang couldn't resist and had to take the shares away. "Okay, then leave it to me."

He didn't want to accept it, nor did he want to embarrass Qi Tongwei, so he just kept the share certificate for Qi Tongwei.

...

The hotpot restaurant's affordable prices and rave-worthy taste have made its business unexpectedly booming.

At night, people come and go and have to wait in line. For this reason, Qi Tongwei will come to help when he has no classes in the evening.

A pair of unexpected guests came that day, Liang Lu and Chen Shan.

The two had met once before the Chinese New Year last year, but Chen Yanshi did not leave a good impression on them and they did not even exchange a word.

Seeing the two people queuing, Qi Tongwei waved to Chen Yang who was helping and pointed outside, "Take them in through the back door."

You must not cut in line blatantly, otherwise it will make the guests unhappy, and you can only enter the private room through the back door.

Chen Yang nodded and rushed out of the store happily. Qi Tongwei cared so much about his family that Chen Yang felt that he must be in his heart.

Qi Tongwei did not expect that his casual action would be misunderstood by Chen Yang. If he knew, he would definitely call him a love-brained person.

He wanted to observe the two men closely to see if he could intervene, either to lock them up or cut the Gordian knot as soon as possible.
