Su Liancheng was very surprised by his mother Su Lanxin's behavior after she came back from Su Ji.
For three days in a row, Su Lanxin had not mentioned anything about how to take back the old plaque from Su's family, except asking her secretary to collect some information about her brother Su Jinrong's son-in-law Feng Yifan.
Every day Su Lanxin deals with various other things, and it seems like she has completely forgotten about Su Ji's affairs.
This behavior of his mother was completely inconsistent with Su Liancheng's careful observation of his mother over the years.
You know, Su Lanxin is a crazy workaholic, and she will always give her all to anything.
In Su Lanxin's dictionary, the two words she hates most are "procrastination".
So Su Lanxin started from scratch and built a multinational catering group. Over the years, everything she did and every problem she dealt with followed the principle of "timely and efficient".
Especially in the expansion of the catering group in recent years, Su Lanxin has never been lenient when it comes to the acquisition of various small companies and the merger of local specialty restaurants and time-honored brands.
She will definitely complete various acquisitions and mergers at the lowest cost.
It is precisely because of this that Su Lanxin's catering group was able to build up to what it is today in just a few years, with chain restaurants spread all over the world.
The group's internal training and selection mechanism for chefs once became a benchmark in the industry, and it even implemented its own set of cooking standards.
This time, in a small restaurant like Su Ji, Su Lanxin hesitated again and again.
Su Liancheng, the biological son who has lived with his mother for many years, still doesn't quite understand why his mother, who was so obsessed with getting the old Su's plaque, never took direct action to snatch it away
Su Liancheng knew something about the old plaque and some stories about his parents.
The previous generation chef of Su Ji, Su Liancheng's grandfather, followed the ancestral precept of "passing on to sons but not daughters" and naturally passed Su Ji to Su Liancheng's uncle Su Jinrong.
At that time, Su Liancheng's mother was in a rebellious period. She was so angry that she didn't listen to his advice and married his eldest disciple.
Su Liancheng had also heard from his father that the condition for his mother to marry him was that he and his mother had to leave Su's business and set up their own business.
What happened later was simple. Su Liancheng's parents left Su Ji and set up their own business. The couple also worked hard and gradually built a multinational catering group from a small restaurant overseas.
Su Liancheng could actually imagine the bitterness behind this.
Perhaps because he had suffered too much, Su Liancheng's father quickly fell into depravity after he became truly wealthy.
It can be said that Su Liancheng's father had enjoyed all kinds of extravagant life. And after being caught by Su Lanxin, he not only did not repent, but became even worse.
In the end, Su Lanxin directly filed for divorce and used tough measures to force Su Liancheng's father to leave the house with nothing.
It can be said that judging from his mother’s past and present, Su Liancheng does not think that it would be difficult for his mother to really get the old Su Ji plaque.
But what Su Liancheng didn't expect was that his mother did not use the methods she had been good at using for many years, but just forced the small restaurant again and again, like a cat that caught a mouse, constantly teasing the people of Su Ji.
The last time, more standardized dishes were used, which directly hit the self-confidence of Su Liancheng's uncle.
Overwhelmed with shame and anger, Su Jinrong suffered a stroke and was hospitalized.
According to Su Liancheng's understanding, his uncle almost lost his life, and it seemed that Su Liancheng's mother was the driving force behind rescuing his uncle.
Otherwise, how could it be that just after my uncle had a stroke out of shame and anger, a top cardiovascular expert would happen to be in Huaicheng for an exchange
This time, the mother had planned to force them again, and seemed to have made plans to take away the old plaque. However, because Su Jinrong's son-in-law Feng Yifan came back, the plan was shelved again.
But what made Su Liancheng even more surprised was that his mother had been back for three days, and Su Liancheng knew that Su Ji had reopened. But his mother had never made any moves, which made him feel that this was totally unlike his mother's character.
Finally, Su Liancheng couldn't help it, and before his mother was about to preside over the regular meeting in the morning, he asked cautiously.
"Mom, about Su Ji..."
Just by uttering the two words "Su Ji", Su Lanxin immediately put down everything in her hands, turned around and glared at her son.
Facing his mother's gaze, Su Liancheng subconsciously took a step back in fear.
Su Lanxin continued in a deep voice: "You'd better not interfere in matters that are not your business. Your mission this time is to inspect Fujing Building and complete the acquisition of Fujing Building. You don't have to worry about other things."
After listening to his mother's words, Su Liancheng was still full of doubts, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything more.
"Okay mom, I know."
Next, Su Lanxin glanced at her watch and confirmed that the time had come. She stood up and led her secretary to the meeting room without even looking at her son Su Liancheng.
Su Liancheng followed the secretary timidly and entered the regular meeting together.
However, after entering the room, Su Liancheng was surprised that in addition to the company's staff, there were actually several people who were not from the company.
It wasn't just a few people from the company, Su Liancheng still knew the other party's identity. He was the person in charge of urban planning and reconstruction.
Su Liancheng's mind worked rapidly and he immediately grasped his mother's strategy.
Su Lanxin did not take direct action against Su Ji again. In fact, it was not because she gave up on the old plaque of Su Ji, nor was she afraid of Feng Yifan who returned to Su Ji.
She wanted to use a more direct and effective method to cut off the source of Su Ji's financial support and take over the reconstruction of the old street and the subsequent specialty food street project.
In the following regular meeting, some of Su Lanxin's remarks and the renovation plan she proposed also confirmed Su Liancheng's ideas.
What surprised Su Liancheng the most was that Su Lanxin said directly: "Our group can bear all the costs of the old street reconstruction project and ensure that it will be completed as required.
But I hope that the completed food court project can also be fully managed by our catering group.
You can rest assured that our catering group is responsible for many similar projects in countries around the world. The catering provided by our group is absolutely world-class and very standardized. "
After listening to this, Su Liancheng couldn't help but admire his mother in his heart.
They directly cut off the source of the problem and took over the entire old street reconstruction project, and also planned to carry out the subsequent food street project.
This is equivalent to driving Su Ji out of his original place.
If you can’t get it, will it be completely destroyed
Su Liancheng felt that his mother had really invested a lot of money and even offered extremely generous conditions in the contract. He felt that this matter should be a done deal.
But the result was somewhat unexpected. The person who came to contact and was responsible for the renovation, after some discussions, actually gave a condition that surprised everyone in the company.
“Ms. Su, we are very grateful to you and your group for your strong support for our urban reconstruction project.
The conditions offered by your group are indeed the most generous we have ever come across, and we really hope to cooperate with you.
But there is one thing we need to state: the old street is a traditional landscape of Huaicheng and a typical symbol of Huaicheng's catering industry. Our original intention in renovating the old street was to renovate dilapidated buildings, but we still hope that the old street can be restored to its original state.
Therefore, we cannot agree with your proposal that your catering group should be solely responsible for providing catering services in the renovated food court.
We need to leave enough storefronts for the old shops on the old street so that they can continue to exist.”
The old street needs to be rebuilt, but all the old shops on the street must be preserved.
This condition was beyond the expectations of Su Lanxin and her son and everyone in the company.
