After a day of competition at Fujing Building ended, Su Liancheng and Mei Ru sat together separately to take stock.
During the competition, Su Liancheng and Mei Ru also arranged people to film some of the game processes on the scene, including interviews with some media on the scene.
It can be said that Su Liancheng and Mei Ru attach great importance to this competition.
I hope that by reviewing the game process, I can find some problems and improve them later.
The real ambition of the two people is to use the Huaicheng competition as an opportunity to gradually cover the cooking competitions in Jiangsu Province and eventually participate in the "Chinese Cuisine" menu chef selection competition.
After the departure of Su Lanxin and Chen Wei, this was the path that Su Liancheng and Mei Ru thought of as a way to open up the domestic market as quickly as possible.
Therefore, both of them took great pains to ensure the smoothness of the entire competition, and they really studied every detail carefully.
After watching the video shot during the game, Su Liancheng and Mei Ru quickly discovered the problem.
Mei Ru said to Su Liancheng directly: "This won't work. We can't let Feng Yifan always be the focus. If that happens, we will be making things difficult for him. In the end, he will be the one who becomes famous, and Su Ji will also gain more prestige."
Su Liancheng understood that what Mei Ru said made sense, but he didn’t have a good solution.
"Do you think there is a good way to prevent the contestants from mentioning Feng Yifan? He has now become a symbol of the Huaicheng culinary world. It can be said that our competition cannot skip his participation."
Mei Ru also understood in her heart that Feng Yifan's accumulated reputation was indeed increasing.
Although for some unknown reason, neither the Catering Association nor the Culinary Association went to look for him specifically.
But even if the two associations did not come forward, Feng Yifan still influenced the entire competition.
When everyone is paying attention to this game, they will inevitably pay attention to Feng Yifan at the same time, and then they will learn about Feng Yifan's background, and then they will know about the existence of Su Ji.
From the feedback Mei Ru has received these days, especially the long queues at Su Ji for so many days, it is not difficult to see that Feng Yifan and Su Ji have gained a lot.
Su Liancheng suddenly said, "In fact, I don't think we need to worry too much. The old street will soon be rebuilt, and it will be closed. This is also an opportunity for us. We can take this opportunity to promote Fujinglou or our group's chain restaurants more in the competition."
After hearing Su Liancheng's words, Mei Ru fell into deep thought and did not respond to Su Liancheng immediately.
After a period of silence, he suddenly said, "I have an idea. Since the ancient street is facing the closure of the street for reconstruction, why don't we invite Feng Yifan over? Just like we discussed before, give him 30% of the profits and let him come and give some advice to the kitchen of Fujing Building."
Su Liancheng looked at Mei Ru in surprise: "You want Feng Yifan to come to Fujing Building? I'm afraid that's not possible, right?"
Mei Ru said quickly, "How could that be? We gave him 30% of the shares, so Fujinglou is his restaurant. Does he want to watch himself lose money? Besides, we don't want him to stay in Fujinglou all the time. He can only be the chef at Fujinglou part-time during the reconstruction of the ancient street."
Su Liancheng thought for a moment and said, "That's all? Giving 30% of the shares is a bit too much, isn't it?"
Mei Ru looked at Su Liancheng and suddenly laughed: "Hahaha? How come you are even more stingy than me? If Aunt Xin was here? I think Aunt Xin would even give Feng Yifan 50%."
Su Liancheng was a little surprised: "My mother will give Feng Yifan 50%?"
Mei Ru nodded: "Don't you believe it? Aunt Xin is a very decisive person. She will weigh the pros and cons and then make the best choice to get more profits. Otherwise, why do you think the company has been able to make profits for so many years? And the number of chain restaurants has been growing?"
Su Liancheng then asked: "Then? Who will talk to Feng Yifan about this?"
Mei Ru smiled at Su Liancheng and said, "Of course it's you, my brother-in-law? You are relatives after all."
Su Liancheng looked helpless: "What's the bottom line? What if Feng Yifan wants 50%? 60%? Or even 70% or 80%?"
Mei Ru thought for a moment and said, "At most 60%, but if that's the case, he must let Fu Jing Lou use his name for publicity."
Su Liancheng thought about it carefully and felt that there was a 60% chance that Feng Yifan would not agree.
Mei Ru continued, "If he doesn't want to, we can give him 40%. All he needs to do is to instruct the kitchen staff at Fujing Building during the reconstruction of the ancient street. After that, he will still own the shares. He can even stay out of the show and only take the dry shares and dividends. Is that okay?"
At this moment, Su Liancheng felt that Mei Ru was really becoming more and more like his mother, and she was decisive and courageous in doing things.
Mei Ru finally said: "If Feng Yifan can become the chef coach of Fujinglou, then Fujinglou's business will definitely be better."
After hearing this, Su Liancheng sat down beside Mei Ru, held Mei Ru's hand and said, "You are so bold. Why don't you say that if Feng Yifan can come to the company as the head chef, then the two of us will have fulfilled the wish that my parents have not been able to fulfill for many years?"
Mei Ru laughed and gently leaned her head on Su Liancheng's shoulder: "Don't even think about it. Feng Yifan will definitely not be happy unless he acquires us."
Su Liancheng tilted his head and leaned his head against Mei Ru's, and the two of them enjoyed the warmth at the moment together.
"Then, the two of us will be working for him."
Mei Ru thought about it and felt that it was true. She couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that's also good. At least our company will be more competitive."
Su Liancheng and Mei Ru face a lot of problems. After Su Lanxin leaves, they need to deal with and coordinate the personnel within the entire company, as well as the interests between various senior executives and shareholders. These things can be said to make the two of them exhausted every day, and they are really overwhelmed.
Like now, it is actually very rare for just the two of them to lean against each other and enjoy this moment of peace.
So gradually, both of them stopped talking, put all those troubles together, and enjoyed the peaceful moment just the two of them.
At Su Ji, after closing, the family cleaned the restaurant together, then closed the door and went upstairs to rest.
Feng Ruoruo was taken to bed by her grandmother. The little girl was very well behaved tonight and did not disturb her parents.
After Feng Yifan helped his father-in-law wash up and go to bed, he also took a shower and lay down next to his wife.
Just after lying down, Su Ruoxi got into her husband's arms and whispered, "Do you think our parents will be happier if we have another child?"
Feng Yifan was stunned by his wife's words. He was not moved at all. Why did his wife suddenly ask this
"What's wrong? Why do you suddenly ask such a question? Did mom tell you something? Or have mom and dad already told you that they hope we can have another child?"
Su Ruoxi shook her head and said, "No, I heard Xixi's grandparents talking about it today."
When Feng Yifan heard that it was Yang Xiaoxi's grandparents who said that, he immediately disapproved: "Hey, Xixi's grandparents, they are obviously elderly people, and they have some ideas of favoring boys over girls. We don't have that kind of thinking in our family. Look how good my parents are to Ruoruo? And I like daughters."
Su Ruoxi said immediately, "No, you don't know in the kitchen, but I can see that Xixi's grandparents are very kind to her. They like their little granddaughter very much and they don't favor boys over girls."
Feng Yifan asked curiously, "Isn't it a preference for boys over girls? Then why do they have to let Yang Zhiyi and Li Feier have another child?"
Su Ruoxi then said what the two old people said: "They feel that Xixi will be lonely if she is the only child in the family. If something happens at home in the future, there may not even be anyone to discuss it with. They think Xixi will be lonely if she is always alone."
Hearing his wife say this, Feng Yifan felt that there seemed to be some truth in it.
But he quickly refuted: "I don't think this actually exists. Xixi, Ruoruo and Feifei are so close. The three of them are like real sisters. They can discuss some things together in the future.
Moreover, because our families are separate, the friendship between the three of them will not involve interests, it is just a pure friendship, which makes it easier to communicate. If they encounter any problems, they can help each other easily without any utilitarianism. "
Without waiting for his wife to speak, he added, "Think about it, if there are brothers and sisters, they will fight over the division of the family property in the future."
Su Ruoxi nodded at first, but soon felt something was wrong and immediately turned around and glared at her husband.
"Are you talking about my dad and aunt again?"
Seeing his wife glaring at him, Feng Yifan quickly said, "No, the issues between Dad and Aunt are just minor ones, and they didn't cause any big trouble. I mean, in the news, the families that fight more fiercely, brothers and sisters really turn against each other."
Su Ruoxi immediately refuted her husband: "We can teach them from a young age, so that they know how to be humble and love each other, so that there will be no fighting in the future. We can also divide the family property in the end, so that the children will not quarrel with each other."
When Feng Yifan heard what his wife said, he couldn't help laughing.
Seeing her husband laughing, Su Ruoxi immediately became unhappy and reached out to pinch her husband: "What are you laughing at?"
Feng Yifan was pinched by his wife and felt the pain immediately: "Ouch, you are so cruel? You want to murder your husband, right?"
Su Ruoxi curled her lips: "Who told you to laugh at me? Wasn't what I said wrong?"
Feng Yifan hugged his wife and said, "Yes, yes, you are right. I just didn't expect that you have already thought about it so quickly. What will happen after we have another child? It seems that you really want to have another child? To keep Ruoruo company?"
Su Ruoxi laid her head on her husband's chest and said, "It's not just to keep Ruoruo company. I think it would be better to let a boy inherit Su Ji in the future. Otherwise, it would be too hard for Ruoruo to inherit."
Feng Yifan was stunned by his wife's words, and then he realized that his wife was speaking from the heart.
He hugged his wife tightly, kissed her forehead gently and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't do it well. I made you suffer so much. I haven't done enough."
Su Ruoxi raised her head and said, "Nonsense, you really didn't do enough in the five years you were away, but you have made up for a lot in the more than two months since you came back. Without you, Su Ji would not be what it is now, and if you hadn't come back in time, I don't know what I would do."
Feng Yifan hugged his wife and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you for so long, and you've done very well. You're strong, independent, and have your own independent ideas. I feel lucky to have a wife like you. It's my greatest happiness to marry you."
Su Ruoxi immediately laughed: "Okay, how can you praise me like that? And you are obviously praising yourself, saying that you have a unique vision, right?"
Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, only an excellent husband like me can be worthy of an excellent wife like you."
Su Ruoxi couldn't stop laughing: "You, I find that you are getting more and more shameless now. You insist on praising yourself like this. Don't pass this to Ruoruo in the future. If Ruoruo is like you, bragging and showing off like this every day, it will not be cute."
Feng Yifan continued, "What's the matter? Our daughter is so outstanding, why can't she brag about herself?"
Su Ruoxi slapped her husband and said, "You're here again. Don't be proud."
After being "taught a lesson" by his wife, he immediately agreed: "Yes, sir."
The Su Ji family was still peaceful and harmonious that night, but Yang Xiaoxi's home was a little less peaceful.
Li Feier was busy at the TV station until very late at night. After coaxing his daughter to sleep, Yang Zhiyi asked her parents to help take care of her while he prepared to walk to the TV station to pick up his wife.
Yang Huaicheng had no objection to his son picking up his daughter-in-law from get off work.
But Wen Hong, the mother-in-law, was a little unhappy: "Are you really that busy? What time is it? Can't you get off work yet?"
Yang Zhiyi had no choice but to explain to his mother: "Isn't she reporting on a cooking competition recently? The program schedule is quite tight, so Fei'er is indeed quite busy. Look, it's already this late, she may not even have dinner yet. Mom and Dad, please don't mind."
Wen Hong curled her lips: "Why should I mind? This is a matter between you two."
But then she said, "I just think that women should focus on their families. How can she take care of the family if she stays up so late all day? How can she take care of you and Xixi?"
Yang Zhiyi smiled bitterly in his heart, but still said cheerfully, "Why do we need her to take care of us? Don't I have a family? I usually just write articles at home. As a husband and father, of course I have to take care of my wife and daughter."
Wen Hong added: "You are a man. How can you sit at home and hang around the stove every day like this?"
Yang Zhiyi understood that his mother's face-saving side was starting to show up again.
He couldn't argue with his mother, so he could only say, "Mom, you just said that we should solve our own problems. I think it's good like this now. I can take care of Xixi and Fei'er. We are a family, so why do we have to stipulate who must take care of whom?"
When Wen Hong heard what her son said, she was immediately furious and felt that her son was too successful.
Yang Huaicheng said quickly, "Okay, okay, you should go pick up Fei'er as soon as possible. If you haven't eaten yet, you can eat outside and come back. Your mother and I will be at home to take care of Xixi, so you two can rest assured."
Yang Zhiyi understood that this was his father's way of getting him out of this situation, so he did not hesitate any longer and quickly said goodbye to his parents. Although he originally did not intend to drive, he still took the car keys with him when he left.
