48: Chapter 48 Let You Ge deal with her
On the morning two days later.
The "Green and Healthy Eating — Jianning City Eco-Friendly Catering Consumption Activity Theme Conference" was held in the Xiaoxiang Hall on the second floor of Yihong Hotel.
The conference was hosted by Li Liang, Director of the Jianning City Environmental Protection Bureau. Attendees included Jiang Hai, the top official of the Jianning Municipal Government; Executive Deputy Mayor Zhu Tianming; major leaders from various districts and counties; and leaders from relevant units such as the Bureau of Commerce and the Construction Bank.
The conference also invited representatives from catering enterprises, citizens, environmental public welfare organizations, and others to attend.
Yang Shiguang was naturally among those invited, and he attended the meeting with You Li and An Miaomiao.
After the long-winded speeches, it was time for the plaque presentation ceremony.
The "Eco-Friendly Catering Enterprise" plaque was naturally awarded by Mayor Jiang Hai to Yihong Hotel, which had been "forced" to become a pioneer in sewage discharge renovation.
Mr. Wang served as the representative for all enterprises that had completed the sewage discharge renovation.
What Yang Shiguang did not expect was that the Municipal Government chose him as the enterprise representative to accept the "Advanced Eco-Friendly Catering Enterprise" award.
Soon, Yang Shiguang, dressed in a suit, walked onto the stage confidently, accepted the plaque from Executive Deputy Mayor Zhu Tianming, and shook hands for a photo.
This was also the first time Yang Shiguang had appeared in the public eye.
The audience erupted in applause, accompanied by whispers.
"Is this the boss of Shuicifang? He's so young."
"Young, handsome, and rich. I wonder if he has a girlfriend."
"Yeah, yeah. If he doesn't, do I have a chance? Let's go make contact later."
"Forget it, you won't be able to compete for such a premium catch."
"I wonder if he's looking for a boyfriend?"
"Adoptive father!"
"You're probably twenty years older than him!"
"Then I can adopt him as my godson!"
"Good grief, you want to have your cake and eat it too."
After the conference ended, Yang Shiguang naturally could not escape all kinds of advances.
He politely declined various advances, but there were still those who pestered him for his phone number.
With no other choice, Yang Shiguang gave them You Ge's phone number, then quickly slipped away with An Miaomiao and You Li.
"Hmph, someone is quite popular..."
Yang Shiguang turned to look, and the little girl was pouting with her arms crossed, looking like an angry little squirrel.
"Uh, they were basically all looking for business cooperation with Shuicifang, right?"
Upon hearing this, the little girl turned her head, putting on a bright smile. She gently wrapped her arms around Yang Shiguang's arm, swayed her waist lightly, and let her chest rub against his forearm, acting coyly.
"Hey there, handsome, can I have your number? Big sister can treat you to a meal tonight, maybe have some iced beer."
"Is this also business cooperation, right?"
An Miaomiao used a soft, cute voice to imitate the flirtatious woman who had just hit on him; it was quite awkward.
This act made Yang Shiguang feel awkward, and You Li, who was on the side, burst into laughter.
"I didn't give her my number, did I? I'll let You Ge deal with her."
Yang Shiguang paused, stroked An Miaomiao's head, and continued:
"Besides, those flirtatious hussies look like they think they're all that, how could they compare to my good little sister, right?"
"Their looks don't even compare to one-tenth, oh no, one-hundredth of Miaomiao's."
In fact, An Miaomiao wasn't really angry. She knew that given her current status, she had no right or reason to be angry.
She was just relying on Yang Shiguang's pampering to act spoiled and vent the unhappiness in her heart.
Hearing Shiguang praise her, she quickly became happy again.
"Oh? Shiguang, is Miaomiao pretty?"
"Of course, Miaomiao is the prettiest."
Upon hearing this, An Miaomiao's peach-blossom eyes narrowed into slits, and a flash of slyness crossed them as she asked:
"Then, between Miaomiao and School Beauty Zhang, who is prettier?"
Yang Shiguang was stunned for a moment, turned his head away, and looked elsewhere.
"Uh, why mention her at a time like this?"
"It's almost noon. Miaomiao, are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"
Hearing Yang Shiguang dodge the question, a momentary look of disappointment flashed across An Miaomiao's face.
But she quickly put on a sweet smile again, tightened her grip on Yang Shiguang's arms, and said sweetly:
"Whatever Shiguang decides is fine. Miaomiao is happy with anything."
...
Since the consumption cards had already started being distributed at major Construction Bank outlets in Jianning, all 9 Shuicifang branches across the city were about to get busy.
You Li planned to take the marketing department to tour the stores and check the preparation status of each branch, so she left early.
"By the way, Miaomiao, it seems the Binjiang Branch has developed a few new dishes for this event. Do you want to go try them?"
"Sure. Then Miaomiao will accompany Young Master Yang to inspect the work, hehe."
"We're just going to eat."
Soon, Yang Shiguang brought An Miaomiao to the Binjiang Branch.
"Welcome, are there two of you?"
The waiter clearly didn't recognize the two.
This was normal, as An Miaomiao had only helped out when the Binjiang Branch first opened.
And Yang Shiguang rarely came down to the stores to supervise work.
As for the headquarters on the third floor, they basically all took the elevator up, and the elevator doors were on the other side.
The waiter led the two to a small table for two and helped them pull out their chairs.
After they sat down, the waiter quickly brought disposable gloves, disposable bibs, and the like, providing service with a smile the whole time.
Yang Shiguang nodded and thought to himself:
"It seems the training is very thorough; the content of the service manual I wrote has basically been implemented very well."
Just as they were preparing to order, the duty manager walked by.
She was an old employee from the time the store opened, so she naturally recognized An Miaomiao.
First, because An Miaomiao's sweet and cute appearance and her starkly contrasting figure were very impressive.
Second, she knew that An Miaomiao was one of the shareholders of Shuicifang, and her brother was the boss of Shuicifang.
"Miss An, what brings you here today?"
An Miaomiao also remembered this duty manager and said sweetly:
"Sister Xu, long time no see."
The duty manager glanced at Yang Shiguang, but didn't dare to guess recklessly, so she could only tentatively ask:
"And this is?"
An Miaomiao smiled playfully upon hearing this and said:
"What do you think, Sister Xu?"
"Is it your boyfriend?"
An Miaomiao was secretly happy in her heart:
"As expected, I knew that Shiguang and I were a perfect match!"
Although she thought that, she still had to explain:
"No, he is just my Shiguang, your boss. Sister Xu, your work isn't quite up to par!"
Yang Shiguang looked at An Miaomiao and gave a helpless smile.
This little girl really had a lively personality; she had to tease others even while eating a meal.
The duty manager was instantly shocked, and then very apologetically said to Yang Shiguang:
"President Yang, I'm sorry, because usually I haven't been able to..."
Yang Shiguang didn't wait for her to finish before waving his hand with a smile to indicate it was fine.
Not long after, the dishes were served. The duty manager was indeed a thoughtful person; she knew that Yang Shiguang coming here surely had other intentions besides just eating.
So she arranged for the head chef to serve the dishes personally.
The head chef was a local of Jianning, a master Hunan cuisine chef hired at a high salary.
He had felt a bit awkward when he first discovered that the place he was working at was a seafood restaurant.
It wasn't until he understood that Yang Shiguang's positioning for Shuicifang was fusion cuisine that he suddenly saw the light.
Now, the new dishes he had developed followed this concept perfectly.
The head chef was taking the dishes one by one from the serving cart to the table and introducing them at the same time.
"President Yang, Miss An, this is Pounded Chili Abalone. Fresh eight-head abalone paired with Hunan's specialty cold-pounded chili. Please try it."
Yang Shiguang took one and ate it.
The freshness and chewiness of the abalone combined with the refreshing, slightly spicy pounded chili had a unique flavor, and it was indeed a taste that people from Hunan Province would like.
The head chef then introduced another dish, Crispy Scallops.
Unlike the usual steamed scallops, these scallops were lightly pan-fried in oil and then stir-fried with dried chili peppers.
After An Miaomiao tried it, her peach-blossom eyes lit up with little stars. Clearly, this Hunan girl who loved spicy food really liked this dish.
"Shiguang, this is good, and it goes great with rice!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Shiguang couldn't help but think more highly of this head chef.
He was truly able to implement his concept well, and his grasp of ingredients was very accurate, and his ideas were ingenious.
Yang Shiguang was very satisfied with this store visit.
