Lu Cuiling, who was helping to clean up and greet guests, saw Su Lanxin and her secretary come in and couldn't help but say, "Why are you here again? Isn't it the day of the competition yet?"
When Su Lanxin left the hotel, she was in a very bad mood.
Su Lanxin actually hated that group of fellow disciples. She also knew that senior brother Chen Wei had been secretly helping them over the years.
But knowing that Chen Wei had been secretly helping those fellow brothers and always acting like a senior brother, Su Lanxin was very dissatisfied with him. She also looked down on those fellow brothers who always asked the senior brother for help with anything.
So when Su Lanxin learned that Chen Wei had picked them up at the hotel, she immediately led her secretary out of the hotel.
I just don't want to see those people, and I don't want them to have the chance to come to me for help.
Along the way, Su Lanxin was not in a very good mood. She kept thinking about those fellow disciples and what kind of requests they would make to Chen Wei. Thinking about those things really made her uncomfortable.
But when she arrived at the old street, the depression in Su Lanxin's heart suddenly came out again.
Then she stepped into Su Ji and saw the lively scene when Su Ji started to serve people at noon, which made Su Lanxin's brows relax.
At this moment, Su Lanxin couldn't help laughing when she heard Lu Cuiling's rude words "Why are you here again?"
Xiaomei, the secretary who was following Su Lanxin, was shocked to see that President Su actually smiled. She was also very confused. What was going on with President Su
Su Lanxin smiled and said to Lu Cuiling, "Mother-in-law, I came to my brother's house to have lunch at noon. I guess it can be regarded as taking care of your business."
Lu Cuiling looked reluctant and even deliberately shook the rag in her hand in front of Su Lanxin.
"Okay, please come in, both of you."
Seeing Lu Cuiling shaking the rag in front of her, secretary Xiaomei hurried forward to help block the dust.
But in fact, the rag had not been used at all, so even if it was shaken, there was actually no dust.
Su Lanxin didn't care at all. She pushed the secretary away and walked straight to the table closest to her brother Su Jinrong.
Walking up to Su Jinrong, Su Lanxin greeted him politely, "Good afternoon, brother. Are you feeling better?"
Su Jinrong looked at Su Lanxin, nodded with a smile on his face, "Much better."
Then, Su Jinrong said, "You're here, just in time. Brother Shitou is here. He's been in the kitchen for many years. You can meet him later."
When Su Lanxin heard that Shi Jinbin was here, she was stunned at first, then she smiled and nodded: "Okay, I haven't seen Senior Brother Shitou for many years, I should meet him."
When Lu Cuiling heard this, she immediately said, "You guys go ahead and do it first. I'll go in and help you call."
After saying that, without giving Su Lanxin a chance to speak, Lu Cuiling went straight into the kitchen.
After entering the kitchen, Lu Cuiling said directly to her son and Shi Jinbin: "Su Lanxin is here again, Brother Shi, do you want to go out and meet your junior sister?"
Shi Jinbin, who was busy with Feng Yifan, stopped what he was doing when he heard that Su Lanxin had arrived.
After thinking for a moment, Shi Jinbin handed the things to Feng Yifan: "Okay, I'll go see her."
After hearing this, Lu Cuiling winked at her son, her pride evident on the surface.
When Feng Yifan saw his mother's expression, he naturally understood that his mother did it on purpose. She wanted Shi Jinbin to go out and confront Su Lanxin head-on to see if this senior brother Su Ji could fight with the younger sister.
Feng Yifan was a little amused by this, thinking to himself: My mom really enjoys watching the fun.
Shi Jinbin came out from the kitchen and saw the person sitting next to Su Jinrong at a glance.
After not seeing each other for many years, Shi Jinbin was still able to recognize his junior sister.
Although the little junior sister is now neatly dressed, she cannot completely hide the traces of time that slip out from the corners of her eyes.
Shi Jinbin came up to the two of them.
Before he could open his mouth, Su Lanxin spoke first.
Su Lanxin stood up and smiled as she stretched out her hand to Shi Jinbin: "Brother Shitou, it's been a long time since we last met. After so many years, you are still as charming as ever, but your belly seems to be getting bigger and bigger."
Su Lanxin smiled and took the initiative to extend her hand to greet him, which made Shi Jinbin feel a little uncomfortable to get angry. He could only extend his hand and shake hands with Su Lanxin.
After shaking hands, Shi Jinbin said unceremoniously: "Su Lanxin, you are still as cruel as you were back then."
Su Lanxin heard this and asked with a smile: "Brother, where did you get this from?"
Shi Jinbin looked at Su Jinrong and said, "Where do you start? Don't you understand? Look at Jinrong now. He is like this. Do you really not feel the slightest bit of guilt?"
This question really moved Su Lanxin.
Su Lanxin turned her head and glanced at her elder brother, her expression still showing a little bit of guilt.
"I admit that I didn't expect that my brother's health would be like this. I didn't mean to do this. I just wanted to prove to everyone that I was qualified to inherit Su Ji. The old plaque would be better in my hands."
Shi Jinbin looked at Su Lanxin seriously and said, "But you lost that year. Su Ji and the old plaque both belong to Jinrong. He is the chef of Su Ji."
The topic inevitably returned to this matter, and Su Lanxin's good mood disappeared.
Mentioning what happened back then, Su Lanxin found it very difficult to accept.
Even when she thinks back now, she still stubbornly believes that her defeat back then was due to her father's deliberate favoritism, otherwise she would have the ability to defeat her elder brother and should have inherited the old plaque of Su's.
Therefore, every time this matter was brought up, Su Lanxin would feel like she was about to lose control of her emotions.
But Su Lanxin also knew that she was in Su's Restaurant and in public, so she had to control her emotions.
So she finally controlled her emotions and responded to Shi Jinbin with a serious face: "I don't deny the result of that year, nor do I deny that my eldest brother is the chef.
But now my eldest brother has no son, and since Su Ji is destined to be passed on to his son-in-law, why must it be Feng Yifan
My last name is also 'Su', my son has the same last name as me, also Su, and I have an apprentice, so why can't I come and fight for it once?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Jinbin asked coldly, "Then why don't you take out your big group and let everyone fight for it fairly, and let Jinrong's daughter and son-in-law inherit it?"
Originally, Shi Jinbin wanted to use these words to interrupt Su Lanxin.
But what neither he nor Su Jinrong expected was.
Su Lanxin actually said directly: "Sure, if Ruoxi and her husband have that ability, I can let them inherit my company."
This sentence confused both Su Jinrong and Shi Jinbin.
After being stunned for a while, Shi Jinbin asked incredulously: "Are you crazy?"
Su Lanxin answered seriously: "I'm not crazy. I think this is the so-called survival of the fittest. If my son is not capable of inheriting the company, then why can't I let my niece inherit it?"
Shi Jinbin looked at Su Lanxin with a strange expression and asked, "You mean, if Feng Yifan wins this time, you will give the company to them?"
Su Lanxin answered very seriously: "I once told my eldest brother's in-laws about it. I wonder if my eldest sister still remembers it?"
Having said that, Su Lanxin turned her head and glanced at Lu Cuiling.
Lu Cuiling was also blunt: "I remember you said that if our Yifan wins, you will let him be the executive chef of all your company's chain restaurants in China."
After saying this, Lu Cuiling added: "But why should my son work for you?"
Su Lanxin continued, "I think you misunderstood, mother-in-law. What I meant was that if Feng Yifan wins, I will give him and Ruoxi half of the shares of my company in China."
This time Lu Cuiling was also a little surprised, and the guests who were already sitting in the restaurant were also very surprised.
Su Lanxin then looked at Shi Jinbin and said, "Brother Shi, did you hear that? If Feng Yifan wins, he will own half of the shares of my company's domestic chain restaurants, and he will be the boss of all my company's domestic chain restaurants."
This time, the secretary was also shocked and completely stunned.
The secretary has been following Su Lanxin for so many years and knows very well that whatever President Su says, she will definitely do it.
Half of the group company's shares in the domestic restaurant chain were given to Feng Yifan, making Feng Yifan the boss of the domestic restaurant chain, or more precisely, half the boss.
This was really beyond the secretary's expectations.
This is different from what Su Lanxin said before, about letting Feng Yifan be the executive chef of the chain restaurant.
Although the executive chef has the power to allocate and control all restaurant kitchens, he is ultimately still an employee employed by the company.
In other words, Lu Cuiling has always emphasized that she is working for Su Lanxin.
If you give half of the shares, it will be different.
The secretary is well aware that the group company’s domestic layout this time will include opening chain restaurants in many cities, and the scale will definitely not be small.
Holding half of the shares means having actual control over these restaurants.
Even if Feng Yifan does not participate in the management, because he owns half of the shares, he can just lie at home and collect dividends. This really feels like instantly becoming a rich man in the catering industry.
After hearing Su Lanxin's decision, everyone in the restaurant was shocked and speechless.
I don't know when Feng Yifan came out of the kitchen and said with a smile: "Uncle, you and aunt should sit down first. As for the matter of competition equity, there is no need to bring it up in public.
Besides, our family only runs a few small restaurants, so there is no such thing as a 50% stake."
The whole audience was shocked at first, and the diners were a little confused. Who could possibly come from such a small restaurant and these two elderly people
I am even more curious about the future when the boss will acquire half of the shares of the restaurant chain and become the big boss.
But now, after Feng Yifan's joke, many diners came back to their senses.
"Haha, so you're planning to open a chain store? You scared me."
"Yeah, when I heard that, I thought you had found a relative who had been missing for years, but it turned out to be the CEO of some big chaebol, and you were about to inherit tens of millions of dollars in wealth."
"I don't care about the boss inheriting the family fortune, I'm just worried that I won't be able to eat the food he cooks in the future."
"Yes, yes, that's what I'm worried about, too. I really like the boss's noodles. What will I do if I can't eat them?"
"Boss, is this the same situation as what they say on the Internet? If you don't work hard to be a good cook, you'll have to inherit the family fortune?"
"Hahaha, that's true. Then boss, you need to work harder."
"It's not the boss who needs to work harder, it's us who need to work harder and support the boss' business."
…
Feng Yifan naturally laughed off the jokes of the diners around him. He also joked: "Why should I work so hard here when I can inherit the family property? Isn't it nicer to just lie down at home?"
Hearing Feng Yifan say this, the young diners present immediately exclaimed.
"The boss is so fashionable that he even knows how to play this kind of joke."
"Hahaha, the boss isn't that old, and he's also a fashionable dad, so it's no surprise that he would make jokes."
"I'm going to post a message on WeChat Moments, urging everyone to come and patronize us more often. Otherwise, the boss will have to go and inherit his fortune, and we won't be able to eat there anymore."
“This is fun, I want to post one too.”
Seeing those diners talking and laughing, Su Lanxin was really a little dissatisfied. She was obviously telling the truth, so why did these diners just talk nonsense here
No, I must clarify.
But when Su Lanxin wanted to stand up to clarify, Feng Yifan stopped her with a smile.
"Aunt, this is a small restaurant, and the customers are all simple people, so what you said is really not appropriate to shout here. Besides, you definitely don't want your family conflicts to be talked about by outsiders, right?"
After hearing what Feng Yifan said, Su Lanxin sat down again.
After thinking about it carefully, Su Lanxin felt that what Feng Yifan said made sense.
"Yeah, that's right. There's no need to let irrelevant people know too much about some things."
Feng Yifan smiled and asked, "Aunt, what would you like to eat today? And what about this secretary?"
The secretary was a little dissatisfied when being called "big sister", but because Su Lanxin was beside her, she couldn't say much.
Su Lanxin thought for a moment, looked at Shi Jinbin who was sitting on the side, and suddenly said with a smile: "Senior brother is here today, I really want to try his cooking skills, how about giving me a bowl of mixed sauce?"
Shi Jinbin is from Beijing, so naturally he knew how to make Beijing's famous mixed noodles before he came to learn cooking.
When Shi Jinbin first came, he showed off his family's special mixed noodles, which really made his fellow apprentices very satisfied.
Later, Mr. Su secretly gave Shi Jinbin some advice and made some small improvements to his mixed sauce.
Therefore, Shi Jinbin's mixed bean curd noodles are a little bit special. Even in the Red Maple Restaurant in Beijing, it can be regarded as a unique skill.
After hearing what Su Lanxin said, Shi Jinbin didn't mind: "Okay, let me show you two my skills again today. Jinrong hasn't had my mixed noodles for many years, right?"
Su Jinrong smiled and nodded when he heard this: "That's true. I thought about it."
After agreeing, Shi Jinbin stood up and before leading Feng Yifan to the kitchen, he did not forget to warn Su Lanxin: "Behave yourself and don't bully Jinrong here, otherwise I won't agree."
Su Lanxin smiled and responded: "I just came here to eat."
