Feng Yifan's indifference to some people and things on the Internet also makes some people feel very uncomfortable.
Before Fiteli's article, people would occasionally see Feng Yifan updating his Weibo, but most of the time he would repost his wife Su Ruoxi's Weibo.
However, ever since Fiteli's article was forwarded and a group of people formed on the Internet to criticize and discredit Feng Yifan and his two restaurants, Feng Yifan completely stopped updating his Weibo, and later even Su Ruoxi stopped updating her Weibo.
This really dumbfounded those who had wanted to strike Feng Yifan hard.
The current situation is that it seems like everyone has hit cotton with a heavy punch.
Feng Yifan didn't pay any attention to this at all.
As time went by, some voices condemning Fiteli began to appear in mainstream foreign food review media.
When those voices were translated and transferred back to the country, they slapped a group of people in the face.
Those who tried every means to discredit Feng Yifan every day were dealt a heavy blow.
Of course, Fitli, the instigator of the whole thing, was in a much worse situation abroad.
His article was directly criticized by many people. At the same time, many well-known three-star restaurants abroad, including the Perovence restaurant, jointly boycotted Fitli and announced that they would never receive Fitli again.
This series of operations really confused Fitli completely.
The key point is that Fitli found a lot of connections abroad and asked a lot of friends, but in the end he couldn't find anyone trustworthy enough to help him.
He even had no idea why such an ordinary article of his suddenly caused such a big stir
After searching among a circle of friends without success, Fitli found Lu Xigu and Quan Chengping at the private suggestion of a friend.
Speaking of which, Fitli and the two old men are acquaintances.
In the past, the food and travel magazine that the two old men owned would often ask Fitli Jinxing to write articles for them.
Some of Fitli's sharp food reviews have also won the magazine a lot of fans.
At one point, Fiteli’s food reviews would be a guarantee for the sales of the two old men’s magazine.
So for a while, magazines would often ask him to write articles, and Fitli gradually became familiar with the two old people.
But when they met again this time, Fitli clearly felt that the two old men had completely different attitudes towards him.
Fitli sat down humbly and asked the two old men questions seriously.
"Uncles, I really want to know why my article caused such a big backlash this time. Isn't my article the same as the ones I wrote before? You two should know that I have always commented in that way."
Lu Xigu and Quan Chengping looked at each other, and then Quan Chengping said: "First of all, we don't want to hide it from you. Feng Yifan is our grandson, and Feng Yifan's mother is our niece."
Hearing this, Fateli was stunned for a moment, raised his hands and said at a loss: "Oh? Really, I'm really sorry, I, I didn't know."
Quan Chengping added, "Secondly, you really shouldn't have provoked Feng Yifan, especially since you haven't been to our country or his restaurant. You actually wrote a review without actually tasting the restaurant for a little money. Don't you think this goes against your professional attitude?"
These words left Fitli speechless.
But after a moment of hesitation, Fateli still said stubbornly: "Uncle, you can't say that. You should know that I am a professional. It is impossible for me to write a review without investigation. I have been to that restaurant."
Lu Xigu said angrily, "It's already this late, and you're still making excuses here?"
Quan Chengping continued, "Fitli, we have already told you about our relationship with Feng Yifan, so don't try to quibble here, let alone play such tricks. We have looked at the order records of Ruo Restaurant, and there is no record of you having been there."
Quan Chengping added: "Don't try to say that you placed the order under another name, because we know very well that no one with a Western face ate at the restaurant during the two days when Feng Yifan was away."
At this moment, everything about Fitli was finally exposed.
In fact, the reason why Feng Yifan did not respond was that after reading Fitli’s food reviews, he checked the restaurant’s order records for two days.
The order records show that no foreigners have ordered food from this restaurant.
However, Feng Yifan saw another name that seemed somewhat familiar.
The other party is also a star reviewer and a recommender of hundreds of restaurants around the world, but he is actually a Chinese.
Apart from this Chinese reviewer and recommender, no other foreign reviewers were found.
For this reason, Feng Yifan judged that Fitli should not have dined at the restaurant.
So he was too lazy to respond to the questions on the Internet.
Later on, he even stopped going on Weibo, and even Su Ruoxi stopped checking Weibo.
As a result, Feng Yifan and Su Ruoxi's Weibo accounts were completely in a state of suspension, with the last updates being photos of them camping.
After Fitli was exposed, he felt a little ashamed.
Because anyway, as a food critic, he really shouldn't write a review like that without actually going to the restaurant to taste it.
This really goes against the bottom line of why he is regarded as a food critic.
Because if all food critics were like this, then wouldn’t all restaurants be out of business in the future
Seeing that Fitli fell silent, Lu Xigu said, "You'd better clarify this matter yourself. Otherwise, if we make it public, I'm afraid you won't just have to apologize, you'll also have to pay a high reputation compensation to Feng Yifan's Ruo Restaurant."
Quan Chengping then said: "Now that you have apologized and clarified, you only need to give some symbolic compensation."
Fitli completely gave up. He knew very well that he had to say goodbye to the career of food critic, and he might really become a pariah in the street and be rejected by many top restaurants.
After all, Fitli was well aware of Feng Yifan's influence in the top restaurant circles abroad.
After thinking for a while, Fiteli asked: "So, what price do I need to pay?"
Lu Xigu and Quan Chengping looked at each other, their goal had been achieved.
Quan Chengping said: "It's very simple. First, you have to tell us who asked you to write such an article? Who is behind this to discredit Feng Yifan? Secondly, you have to pay a portion of the compensation. You decide the exact amount yourself."
Lu Xiguo said directly: "Give us your shop in Pep Street."
Fateli's eyes widened: "What? You want that shop?"
Lu Xigu said bluntly: "Yes, we want that shop. Anyway, the shop is idle in your hands. We can give you a suitable price."
Fitli was a little hesitant, knowing that the shop was located in a busy district.
He also quickly thought of the relationship between the two old men and Feng Yifan.
If Feng Yifan had the shop, and he had opened a branch there, it might have become a hit abroad, and might even have had a chance to compete with top restaurants like Perovence.
But now, Fitli obviously has no choice.
In the end, he negotiated a suitable price with the two elderly people.
This money may also be the start-up capital for his next career change.
After all, he probably won't be able to continue being a food critic in the future, and many top restaurants may even turn him away.
After Fitli agreed on the transfer price of the shop, he hesitated for a moment before revealing the person behind the scenes.
Lu Xihu and Quan Chengping received the news, and agreed with Fiteli on the time to sign the transfer contract, and then let Fiteli leave first.
Fitli left helplessly and a little bit dejected.
After Fitli left, the two old men quickly sent the news back to China and told Feng Yifan.
When Feng Yifan heard the news, he was not surprised at all.
"Thank you, great uncle and great uncle. I am really grateful that you two made a special trip to help me solve the problem. In fact, I didn't take Fateli seriously. He was just a clown. He was not my opponent from the beginning."
Lu Xigu said on the other end of the phone: "It seems like you already knew who it was?"
Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, the one who would trip me up from behind must be the one from Perovence. After all, he has always been brooding over the 10% of the shares he gave me, and he hopes to get the shares back."
Quan Chengping smiled and said, "He has shot himself in the foot."
Lu Xigu thought for a moment and asked, "So what are you going to do next? Disclose the matter directly?"
Feng Yifan shook his head: "It's useless. The other party's status is much higher than Fiteli's, and Fiteli's reputation has been ruined. Even if he testifies, no one will believe him. Therefore, it is difficult to threaten him with Fiteli's disclosure."
Lu Xigu and Quan Chengping looked at each other. The two old men thought for a moment and roughly understood Feng Yifan's idea.
"Are you going to use that shop to compete with the Perovence restaurant?"
"But Perovence Restaurant has a good reputation after all, and you didn't show up as the head chef at the beginning. Even if everyone in the industry knows about you, if Perovence Restaurant insists on not giving in, it will be difficult for you to prove that those menus are yours."
"This is indeed a problem. If you can't prove it, then if you open a restaurant here, you may not be able to compete with Perovence Restaurant."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Who said I was going to open a restaurant?"
Lu Xigu and Quan Chengping were suddenly a little surprised.
Feng Yifan went on to say, "I can't leave home, at least not within the next one or two years, because I need to be at home with Ruoxi and Ruoruo. Even if I want to go, I have to wait until my second child is older."
Lu Xigu asked: "So you asked us to help buy the shop, what are you going to use it for?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Of course, I'll open a restaurant."
Quan Chengping asked: "But you said you couldn't come in a year or two?"
Feng Yifan said: "I can't go, but there are others."
Lu Xigu and Quan Chengping looked at each other again, but this time the two old men guessed it quickly.
"You mean your wife's uncle?"
The two old men thought of Chen Wei almost at the same time.
Because while the two old people were busy abroad and running around for Feng Yifan's affairs, Chen Wei was also helping them secretly.
Even when so many top restaurants joined forces to boycott Fitli, it was Chen Wei who united them behind the scenes.
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Yes, my uncle doesn't have much to do abroad. My aunt's company is now run by someone else. Instead of teaching new students in the company, my uncle might as well do something more meaningful."
Lu Xigu asked, "Are you sure that your uncle is capable of surpassing the Perovence restaurant?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Perhaps using Western food may not work, but if it is Chinese food, I believe that with my uncle's ability, it will still be possible. Besides, don't you have my help?"
After hearing this, Feng Yifan’s two grandfathers finally understood everything.
Lu Xigu was a little excited: "Good boy, you are really ambitious. You actually want to open a branch of Su Ji directly abroad, and in the neighborhood near the Perovence restaurant. Not only are you ambitious, you are also going to export it."
Feng Yifan laughed when he heard this: "Uncle, you are so fashionable. You even know how to attack from the face."
Lu Xigu smiled and said, "That's right, but I support your attack this time."
Feng Yifan said: "Okay, with your support, I believe it will work, but we can't be impatient."
Quan Chengping smiled and said, "I know, you are planning to boil the frog in warm water and gradually destroy the Perovence restaurant, right?"
Feng Yifan said, "Uncle, don't say such harsh words. I just want to take back what belongs to me. After all, the dishes on the menu of Perovence Restaurant are all mine, so it is only right for me to take back what belongs to me."
Lu Xigu laughed and said, "Hahaha, you are really just like your mother."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Keep a low profile. We still need to keep a low profile for now. When I can bring Ruoxi, Ruoruo and our second child with me, that's when we can launch a full-scale counterattack against the Perovence Restaurant."
Lu Xigu and Quan Chengping looked at each other, and then the two old men burst into laughter.
Obviously, the two old men are full of confidence in Feng Yifan, and they are also looking forward to Feng Yifan taking over the restaurant, defeating his opponents with Chinese food in the Perovence restaurant's home turf, and finally taking over the Perovence restaurant in one fell swoop.
The two old men smiled and said in unison: "Okay, we look forward to it."
After hanging up the phone with his two grandfathers, Feng Yifan returned to Su Ji's kitchen. Everyone felt a little strange when they saw the smile on his face.
However, Feng Yifan did not tell everyone everything. He just said, "I just received good news. The matter of Fitli should be resolved soon. Fitli should apologize publicly soon and compensate us for our loss of reputation."
Upon hearing the news, everyone suddenly became excited, and it really felt like their lives had been turned around.
