Chapter 186 Decoration
“I understand.”
It has to be Ayao. The one who understands Lao Dou’s thoughts best has always been Lao San. He smiled and said: "Old Dou wants to see if he can get warmer and go out in his famous brand suit to show his strength in the water."
"Isn't that right?" Everyone was watching Old Dou as they walked. With an expression on his face, Lao Dou lowered his head in embarrassment and did not dare to look at everyone. Now everyone knew what was going on.
The two guys deliberately teased Lao Dou and A Yao: "A Yao, you do the same, why do you want to expose Lao Dou? Lao Dou is dozens of years old, and his authority is diminishing every day, and he has no filial piety at all. .”
"That's right. It's the same with your company, Ah San. The draw at the end of the year is actually for summer suits. If you want to draw one, just choose one made of cashmere. Old Dou doesn't have to look at the weather forecast to look forward to the weather like Fu Shi." Kang Qirui also said joked.
The suit chosen by Lao Dou is made of linen. It has good breathability and can dissipate heat quickly, making it suitable for summer wear. Nowadays, it is so cold to go out in winter that I shiver, so even though Lao Dou wanted to go out and show off, it was a pity that the conditions did not allow it.
"Don't make any noise, don't make any noise, the weather forecast has been replayed. Please help Lao Dou find out what the temperature will be tomorrow." The boss just asked everyone to calm down and watch the weather forecast. "Don't even think about it. The maximum temperature is 10 degrees. It's freezing to death if you go out in that suit in this weather." Ayao noticed the subtitles scrolling at the bottom of the TV screen.
“It’s too cold to wear down.” The second guy said with a smile.
Old Dou looked disappointed, "Don't watch it, you've seen enough." He went back to the room angrily, and the second brother stopped him: "Old Dou, don't you just want to wear a suit and go out? It doesn’t matter if it’s cold or hot. Just wear a sweater and a shirt. Who can tell? It’s just frostbite. What does it matter?”
Lao Dou thinks about it and thinks it makes sense. Chilblains are just chilblains. Being able to wear designer suits to show off is worth everything. The next day, he put on a sweater and went out as the second brother said. First he went to the stock market, and then to the park in the middle of the street to play chess with Uncle Liang. At the end of the game, Uncle Liang, who was wearing a big cotton-padded jacket, felt uncomfortable. Leng was about to go home, and Lao Dou got frostbite all over his body as he wished.
That's it. After returning home, Lao Dou still complained: "This shit Qi Liang is just jealous. I don't even think it's cold. He insists on going home, but he can't see that I have a famous brand." I'm just wearing a suit."
"Oh, how can you be like this? I just go out to bask in the sun because it's so hot at noon, and I'll go back when it's cold." He said helplessly: "You have frostbite on your body, but you still don't feel cold? It's just a suit. What's the matter?"
"You are really nosy. What do people wear? What does it have to do with you?" Go away, go away, Ah Yao..." Lao Dou pushed his mother away impatiently, and waved to Ah Yao to give him the phone. He then called his relatives and friends one by one to ask if they had any happy events to invite recently. After drinking and feasting, there was no one left, and there was one less occasion for Lao Dou to wear a suit.
"Old Dou, you just want to wear a suit, why don't you go around calling people and asking people to treat you to a wedding wine?" Kang Qirui said with a smile: "You can take the initiative and treat them to a wedding wine."
< br>
Old Dou had a dark face and was unwilling to talk to Kang Qirui. The second sister-in-law was beside him and added jealously: "This is called Lin Lao entering the flowers."
"What did you say?" The second brother was angry, what did this mean? ah? Isn't this trying to stir up feelings between the two old men?
The second sister-in-law quickly explained: "What I mean is that everyone has the love for beauty. It's not what you think."
"What is beauty? How many years old is it?" What else is beautiful about a person?" Lao Dou was stubborn and refused to admit it, "I just think it would be a waste to put such a good suit in the closet and get moldy."
He continued to sigh: " I didn't get this beautiful suit in the lottery before, and it would cost me some high-priced meal tickets in ten days and a half, otherwise it would be warm enough to wear short-sleeves. Now that I got this beautiful suit, no one is getting married, no one is giving birth to a baby, and I want to drink. The weather hasn’t warmed up yet it’s been cold all the time, don’t you think it’s strange?”
"Now we are preparing to celebrate the New Year. People who want to get married will have to wait until after the New Year. Then you can wait and I will send you a lot of invitations." The old lady analyzed that today is already the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, and it is close to Naturally, not many people hold banquets at the end of the year. "That's right, I'll collect a few more when the time comes. Your old teeth will hurt." The second guy said with a smile. The main point of high-priced meal tickets is that they are high-priced. A few tickets a month are enough for a month's salary to be lost.
"Master, I think what Rui just said is right. I've thought about it for you, so you can pay for us to have a nice meal at the White Swan, so you can Can't you just wear that suit and go out? The White Swan is fully heated, so you don't have to worry about being cold." The second sister-in-law smiled wickedly, planning to make Lao Dou bleed.
The second wife followed her husband: "Old Dou, I found that your daughter-in-law did not marry the wrong one. She is so considerate of you that you should treat her to this meal."
" Huh!" Lao Dou also had something to say: "Everyone's son and daughter-in-law invite Lao Dou to dinner and tea. When have you ever heard of Lao Dou inviting his son and daughter-in-law?"
"Thank you, second brother, hahaha." Kang Qirui helped Lao Dou.
"It's not that I don't want to invite you, but I have to go back to Ruhao Tea Restaurant every day. Our tea restaurant doesn't have heating, and it's not up to standard. How can I have the nerve to invite you?" The second guy looked for excuses. His ability comes casually.
Lao Dou was so angry that he went back to the room again.
"How are the tea restaurants lately?" Since we are talking about tea restaurants, Kang Qirui is concerned about the recent business situation.
“It’s just so so. There are more people at noon, but there are not many people at night. To be honest, not only does Lao Dou like the weather to get warmer, I also hope that the weather gets warmer.”
< br>
The second brother shook his head and sighed: "It's so cold now. At noon, there are more office workers eating lunch. In the evening, everyone goes home after get off work, and other people don't want to go out. There is no business early in the evening. Didn't you notice that I and I The bosses have been coming back very early lately.”
It is expected that the tea restaurant business will be slow due to the cold weather. Even when people go out, they go to eat steaming hot pot, and tea restaurants can't compete. Kang Qirui thought for a while and said: "If the business is normal, we can take this time to renovate the old store."
To build a brand for a tea restaurant, a unified decoration plan is very important. It's also selling burgers and fries. You can tell whether it's Burger King or the Golden Arches without looking at the sign, just the decoration.
The three branches that opened later all hired designers to design unified decoration plans. Now only the interior decoration of the old store is not consistent with other stores. Kang Qirui felt that if the business was normal now that the weather was cold, he would just take advantage of the cold weather and the Chinese New Year to renovate the old store.
Originally, business was average around New Year’s and New Year’s. Coupled with the weather factors, decoration losses at this time were basically minimized.
The second guy thought for a while and agreed, "Okay, then I'll let the design company come up with a plan first, and then contact cousin Bing and his decoration team to decorate it."
Kang Qirui opened his first clothing store When we were in the store, cousin Bing was kicked out of the village for playing mahjong, and was arranged by Kang Qirui to work as a laborer in the store that was being renovated. (Chapter 39)
My cousin Bingshi, who decorates his clothing store, tea restaurant, etc., participated in the whole process. Slowly, I started working as a small worker and became a contractor. Now the economy is developing rapidly. Every household has money to buy a house or rebuild it. Anyway, the business of cousin Bing's decoration team is very good.
