    After the security guard said it was a foreigner, he probably thought that Zhuo Shao would not want a foreigner, and said, "How about I help you find someone else?"

    Although Fuyang County is a small county, there are still people who come to work here. After all, it is located on the coast of the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many factories with convenient transportation.

    Even the cloth here is sold all over the country, not to mention sold abroad.

    Zhuo Shao came to Fuyang County after he was released from prison in his last life. There are many printing and dyeing factories here, and half of the people working in the factory are foreigners.

    At that time, the people of Fuyang County were used to having many outsiders around, but now...

    Now there are not as many foreigners who don't talk about it a few years ago, and everyone is especially xenophobic.

    Foreigners who come to work in small places like Fuyang County have almost no high education. Many of them can't speak Mandarin, and they don't know the words. That's all. Although most of the migrant workers are hard-working and simple, but There are also some people in it who are lazy and thieves.

    So at this moment, in the eyes of many ordinary citizens of Fuyang County, outsiders are unreliable, and many people still look down on outsiders.

    However, Zhuo Shao has no such emotions at all.

    The people from Fuyang County went to the big city, didn't they also become outsiders? What is there to look down on an out-of-towner?

    "It doesn't matter if you are a foreigner or a local, as long as you are honest, where is he?" Zhuo Shao asked.

    "He, he's been doing a small job digging river mud recently. I'll accompany you to find him." The security guard said.

    In Fuyang County, all temporary workers are called small workers.

    When building a house, people who do some unskilled work, such as moving bricks and cement, are called small workers, and the wages of small workers are very, very low, generally only skilled workers such as carpenters. half.

    "Although the work of digging river mud is included, it only costs fifteen yuan a day. If you like him, he will definitely be willing to go with you immediately." The security guard said.

    "That's right, although the work there is a bit complicated, it's still very easy." Zhuo Shaodao, he found that the security guard seemed to have a good impression of the outsider, otherwise he wouldn't recommend it even if he had work to do... ... That person must have some ability to make security like this.

    Zhuo Shao soon saw the person, and then he knew why the security guard recommended this person who used to have a job.

    There is a river in Fuyang County that runs through the entire urban area. Over the years, probably because all the urban wastewater was discharged into this river, the river water is smelly. There are no fish in the river, but it is full of silt.

    At this time, the government has hired some people to clean up the silt in the river and control the water pollution.

    The smell of such a place is not good. The young man who was called up by the security guard in the river that was drained of water was covered in black mud, but even so, Zhuo Shao could see at a glance that he was very young. I'm afraid it's about as big as myself.

    The security guard was in his forties, and it was not surprising that he would take more care of a child of this age.

    "Can you cook?" Zhuo Shao asked.

    "Yes." The man nodded again and again.

    "I'm doing decorations for people. I'm looking for someone to cook. Sometimes I might even help with moving things. I'll give you thirty a day. Would you like to?" Zhuo Shao asked again.

    "Yes!" The man said without even thinking, "I have done all these jobs, and I can do them all!"

    "Then don't do it here, go and clean up immediately and come to me." Zhuo Shao said.

    "I'll come back to you tomorrow, today..." The man hesitated.

    "Hurry up and pack up and come to me, I'll give you today's wages too." Zhuo Shao said.

    The man's eyes lit up immediately.

    Zhuo Shao asked him to come to the community to find him, and then went home first.

    He used his mobile phone to call the carpenters, electricians, masons he had worked with, and asked them to find someone. At the same time, he started to make decoration budgets on the computer. From time to time, he also wrote a few strokes in his notebook to design the decoration process.

    After an hour, all the workers who could be contacted were contacted, and he started to call the place where he had bought yellow sand cement to order yellow sand cement.

    Although Shen Xinghuo's side hasn't been finalized yet, the preparations that should be made must still be done, otherwise it will definitely be too late.

    When Zhuo Shao made these connections, there was a knock on the door.

    Zhuo Shao opened the door and saw the young man he had seen before.

    The young man's surname is Xu and his name is Xu Dagang.

    The name Xu Dagang reminds people of a middle-aged strong man, but in fact, Xu Dagang himself is black and thin, and he is ten centimeters shorter than Zhuo Shao.

    "How old are you?" Zhuo Shao asked.

    "It's seventeen, this is my ID card." Xu Dagang said, and gave the ID card in his hand to Zhuo Shao: "Boss, I have been working for a year, and I can do a lot of work."

    At the age of 16, if you can apply for an ID card, if you have an ID card, you can go out to work. Xu Dagang has been out for a year.

    "There are dishes in the kitchen, you can cook a few dishes first." Zhuo Shao said, "Everything can be used, right?"

    "Yes." Xu Dagang nodded.

    After Xu Dagang said this, Zhuo Shao went back to work in front of the computer in the living room, called Shen Xinghuo by the way, and made an appointment with Shen Xinghuo to meet at Shen Xinghuo's restaurant at 1 pm.

    After working for more than half an hour, Zhuo Shao finally finished the decoration budget and process. He printed it out and stood up.

    As soon as Zhuo Shao stood up, he heard Xu Dagang's voice: "Boss, it's done."

    Xu Dagang was standing not far from Zhuo Shao, looking at his appearance, he was afraid that he had been standing for a while.

    "Okay? I'll go take a look." Zhuo Shao said and went to the restaurant.

    Four dishes were placed on the table in the restaurant, all vegetarian.

    Zhuo Shao knew that it was definitely not because Xu Dagang didn't know how to cook meat dishes, but because he didn't dare to mess with the meat.

    Zhuo Shao didn't say anything, he took the chopsticks and tasted everything.

    The taste of the food is not that good, at least not as good as what he cooks, but it is alright. It doesn't take much cooking skills to make a big pot of rice, and Zhuo Shao asks him to cook, and it's not just about him. cooking.

    After Zhuo Shao tasted those dishes, he looked at the kitchen.

    He's not lazy, but he doesn't like to clean up. He was very busy today. After making breakfast, he didn't clean up the kitchen. Now, the kitchen has been cleaned up, and even the remaining vegetables have been washed. .

    "You can follow me in the future. I will tell you what you want to do." Zhuo Shao said, and after looking around, he entered the kitchen.

    "Boss, let me come." Xu Dagang said quickly when he saw that Zhuo Shao actually picked up the pot.

    "No." Zhuo Shao said, and then made scrambled eggs with onions, sautéed mushrooms with green vegetables, and made a piece of meat with fungus and winter bamboo shoots.

    He divided the three dishes into two parts, put them into two lunch boxes respectively, and put some rice in, and then said to Xu Dagang: "Let's go, let's deliver the meals. You will do the work in the future. "

    Zhuo Shao first went to deliver food to Zhuo Ting, who had left school early, introduced Xu Dagang to Zhuo Ting, and then went to deliver food to Liang Chen.

    "I'll be very busy in the future, so I'll let him deliver meals to you in the future. If I don't have time to pick you up, I'll let him pick you up too." Zhuo Shao said.

    Liang Chen nodded, and looked at Xu Dagang again.

    After seeing the dark and thin Xu Dagang smiling at him, he felt relieved.

    Xu Dagang is uglier than him, even if he follows Zhuo Shao, it's nothing.

    After the meal was delivered, Zhuo Shaocai went home for dinner, which was made by Xu Dagang.

    He is not picky about what he eats. Xu Dagang's cooking skills are not bad in his opinion. Of course, there are also shortcomings.

    There was no meat in it.

    After dinner, Zhuo Shao went to wash his head, blow his hair out with a hairdryer, and then changed his clothes. Not only that, he also took out a set of clothes that his parents bought him when they were still alive. , let Xu Dagang replace it.

    The quality of the suit was very good. Although it was old, it was much better than what Xu Dagang wore. For him, the clothes that were much shorter, Xu Dagang was wearing just right.

    When Xu Dagang changed his clothes, Zhuo Shao picked up the black briefcase, put a folder in his pocket, and took him out.

    The current Three Five Hotel is located on an old street in Fuyang County. The storefront is not large, but it is very lively and almost overcrowded.

    No wonder Shen Xinghuo wanted to build a house and enlarge the restaurant... This place is really small.

    Zhuo Shao asked about one point, but when he got here, it was only about twelve forty.

    "Excuse me, where is your boss?" Zhuo Shao stopped a waiter.

    "The boss is over there." The waiter pointed to the inner room of the hotel, and Zhuo Shao realized that there was a room in the hotel. There were also several tables, and Shen Xinghuo was sitting with a middle-aged man in his thirties. Eating at the table.

    "Mr. Shen." Zhuo Shao smiled and said hello, and then his eyes flashed.

    The man sitting next to Shen Xinghuo he knew was the owner of a decoration company in Fuyang County.

    When he was running around in the past few months, he had seen each other once, and he knew that many workers in Fuyang County had contacts with him.

    This person appeared here, just like him, wanting to take over the decoration of the new three-five hotel?

    Zhuo Shao's heart jumped, but at this time, the owner of the decoration company raised his head and glanced at Zhuo Shao with a smile.

    After reading it, he said to Shen Xinghuo again: "Old Shen, you really feel relieved to leave the decoration work to such a child who has not grown up? And their company is in the provincial capital, so you can do something here. Question, people have long since slapped their ass, who are you going to judge?"

    Shen Xinghuo's face showed hesitation.

    Seeing this, the man said again: "Old Shen, don't you just want to decorate a little more new style? I went to S city a few days ago, stayed in a big hotel there, and took pictures of their decorations. Whichever you like, I will dress it for you according to whichever you like, and make sure it is the same."

    With that, he took out seven or eight photos and gave them to Shen Xinghuo.

    The photos were taken of some big hotels. Those hotels looked very high-end at first glance, and they were exactly what Shen Xinghuo wanted... After Shen Xinghuo saw the photos, he immediately showed his heart.

    At this time, the owner of the decoration company who showed Shen Xinghuo the photos gave Zhuo Shao another look.

    This time, there was no smile on his face, but a bit of hostility.

    The owner of this decoration company is surnamed Tang and his name is Tang Tianqing.

    In the beginning, he was selling boards in the county town, and he knew a lot of woodworkers, because he could always find workers when he was looking for him. When many people in the county town wanted to renovate, they went to him directly.

    And he introduced the work to the woodworker, and he would let the woodworker buy his board, and he gave the woodworker some rebates...

    Relying on this, he made a lot of money. Gradually, he was not satisfied with this, and finally opened a decoration company.

    His decoration company is now the largest in Fuyang County, and when Shen Xinghuo wanted to find someone for decoration a few days ago, he was the first person he looked for.

    At that time, he chatted with Shen Xinghuo, thinking that this job must be his own, but he didn't expect to come here today and find out that Shen Xinghuo wanted to find someone else...

    Fortunately, this matter has not been finalized yet. He happened to go to S city to study recently, and he should be able to win the job back.

    Tang Tianqing didn't take Zhuo Shao seriously.

    Qianglong can't suppress the local snakes, and no matter how powerful the decoration company in the provincial capital is, it may not be as good as him!

    "How long will the renovation take?" Shen Xinghuo asked.

    "It will definitely be decorated for you in two months." Tang Tianqing said.

    "What if only the downstairs was renovated?" Shen Xinghuo asked again.

    "I'll decorate it for you in a month." Tang Tianqing said: "Old Shen, I have a lot of people, and I can definitely help you decorate in the shortest time!"

    "I see." Shen Xinghuo said, and after a few more words, he sent Tang Tianqing away.

    After seeing off Tang Tianqing, Shen Xinghuo came back, looking at Zhuo Shao a little embarrassed: "Xiao Zhuo..."

    Shen Xinghuo was more inclined to find Tang Tianqing.

    He had asked Tang Tianqing for decoration before, and he knew that it would be a little tricky to ask that Tang Tianqing to help with things, but when it came to looking for someone to decorate, how could there be no tricks at all?

    Tang Tianqing's company is rooted in Fuyang County, and if something goes wrong, he can find Tang Tianqing in charge, but Zhuo Shao's side is different.

    Like Tang Tianqing said, what if Zhuo Shao ran away?

    "Mr. Shen, look at what I brought first." Zhuo Shao said with a smile.

    Zhuo Shao also knew that Shen Xinghuo might have been persuaded by Tang Tianqing, but he still planned to continue fighting.

    Shen Xinghuo had already talked with Zhuo Shao yesterday. He thought that what Zhuo Shao was going to talk to him at this moment was the same as yesterday's, so he said, "No need."

    "Mr. Shen, take a look and you don't need any money, let's take a look." Zhuo Shao smiled, and then opened the folder in his hand: "Because your project is in a hurry, I contacted the company's designer yesterday to help You have done the design and also the decoration budget... You can look at our company's decoration plan first."

    Zhuo Shao took out a piece of paper and showed it to Shen Xinghuo.

    Shen Xinghuo glanced at the piece of paper and couldn't move his eyes away.

    That piece of paper was a plane drawing, so it could be said that he drew everything on the ground floor of his hotel.

    The above dimensions are very complete. In addition, where to put the table and the size of the table, they are all drawn.

    When Shen Xinghuo saw this picture, he seemed to see what his hotel would look like after it was built.

    "What is this place for?" Shen Xinghuo asked, pointing to a rectangular area in the middle of the lobby that Zhuo Shao had drawn.

    "When the waiter serves the dishes, you can order the dishes here first." Zhuo Shao said. The new Sanwu Restaurant is very big, and there are many tables in the lobby, so it is easy to serve the wrong dishes. It is good to have a place that can be repaired. Even if it is not used for this purpose, there are some bowls in the cabinet here. Chopsticks or something would be much more convenient.

    Of course, he will do this, mainly because there is a column here, so it is better to put a cabinet like this.

    Zhuo Shao explained it, and what he said made Shen Xinghuo's heart go.

    Shen Xinghuo always felt that what Zhuo Shao said was very useful and practical.

    He carefully looked at the drawings and found that Zhuo Shao also designed the kitchen well.

    "I also have a special drawing for the kitchen here." Zhuo Shao took out another piece of paper: "Our company has designed a large hotel, and the kitchen has always been the top priority of the hotel. If you want to serve food faster, The kitchen has to be reasonable..."

    Shen Xinghuo had never thought about how to make the kitchen before, but now he saw Zhuo Shao's drawings... He felt that the kitchen he wanted was the same as what Zhuo Shao designed!

    "What's here? Elevator? It's only four floors, so you want to install an elevator?" Shen Xinghuo looked at the drawing carefully, then pointed to a place, puzzled: "Also, are there two elevators?"

    His house is only four floors up, how can he need an elevator? Not to mention restaurants, they are only open on the first and second floors!

    The top house, he intends to be used as a staff dormitory, by the way, he lives at home, and he can put some sundries or something.

    "Mr. Shen, if you want to make this place a big hotel in the future, you will definitely need an elevator." Zhuo Shaodao

    "Grand Hotel?" Shen Xinghuo was a little stunned.

    "A four-story house, the first and second floors are restaurants, and the third and fourth floors can be used as hotel rooms..."

    The way Shen Xinghuo looked at Zhuo Shao had completely changed.

    Why didn't he think of this?

    Yes, he can be made into a guest room on it!

    Shen Xinghuo bought land and built a house before, just because he rented a house for his current restaurant, and the landlord thought about raising the rent all day long when he saw that his restaurant was making money.

    He didn't want to be controlled by others in the future, so he built a house and planned to open a restaurant, but he didn't plan very well for the future.

    At this time, he chatted with Zhuo Shao, but Shen Xinghuo had ambitions from his heart.

    He wants to open a big hotel.

    Thinking of this, Shen Xinghuo woke up and thought more.

    He knows that Tang Tianqing should be able to renovate his hotel, and it must be luxuriously decorated, but even if Tang Tianqing went to S city to live in a big hotel, some things, such as how to decorate the kitchen, should not be known, Zhuo Shao is different.

    The family came from a large company in the provincial capital. Many things he didn't know before were very common to the other party, so let Zhuo Shao help him decorate it, and put it out.

    "You still have a lot of blueprints, can you show me?" Shen Xinghuo asked.

    "Mr. Shen, our design drawings are only available after a deposit has been paid. Your project time is relatively tight, so I asked the designer to stay up all night to explain the details when you don't have a deposit. The design drawings and decoration budget have been made..." Zhuo Shao's face was embarrassed: "If you don't ask us to do it, our design drawings can't be shown to you... In fact, I told you so much just now, but it's all wrong. It should be."

    Shen Xinghuo was taken aback.

    "Mr. Shen, Fuyang County doesn't care about design, but in the provincial capital, if you find someone to draw such a design, it will cost thousands of dollars at least." Zhuo Shao said, "If Mr. Shen is interested in drawings, You can buy it, and then you can let others do it.”

    Shen Xinghuo had inquired a lot with Zhou Zhengqiang yesterday, and he had also seen hundreds of various drawings in Zhou Zhengqiang's house. Although he sighed at the meticulousness of the provincial capital company at the time, he felt it was unnecessary, but now...

    He especially wanted the blueprint in Zhuo Shao's hand!

    No, he didn't even want the blueprint, he also wanted Zhuo Shao to help him decorate.

    If there is no design drawing, only Tang Tianqing can do it. Tang Tianqing does not know what to pretend he will look like. If he has the design drawing and let Tang Tianqing do it... He is afraid that Tang Tianqing will not be able to understand the design drawing.

    It's better to let Zhuo Shao do it.

    "I'll ask you to decorate, and I'll give you a deposit right away!" Shen Xinghuo slapped the table and said.

    Zhuo Shao was a little surprised when he heard this. Although he had confidence in his design, he was actually only one person and didn't have any decoration company. Therefore, he was a little guilty, so he decided that Shen Xinghuo would not ask him for decoration. preparation.

    As a result, Shen Xinghuo actually planned to find him for decoration?

    Although Zhuo Shao was surprised, he quickly put away the surprise on his face, and then took out the decoration budget: "In this case, Mr. Shen, look at the decoration budget, if there is no problem, we can sign a contract and wait. Once the contract is signed, construction can begin tomorrow."

    "Can you start construction tomorrow?" Shen Xinghuo was a little surprised.

    "Yes." Zhuo Shao nodded.

    Shen Xinghuo heard that construction would start tomorrow, and became more and more sure that he was right to find Zhuo Shao.

    Then Tang Tianqing promised him to install the first floor in a month, but no one knows what happened in the end, and even he may have to wait for a long time to start the construction, Zhuo Shao is different, they will start tomorrow!

    Moreover, the decoration budget given by Zhuo Shao is similar to the price mentioned by Tang Tianqing...

    Shen Xinghuo looked at the quotation, and after making some comments, he readily signed a contract with Zhuo Shao.

    Now, he is very much looking forward to the bright future that Zhuo Shao said.
