At around 7 p.m., Zhang Qian, Zhang Jinwu, and Sun Shulan's family met Luo Yanning in the community.
The roadside is not a place for talking. After a brief chat, the few of them went straight to a restaurant next to the community.
This hotel is called Xiangyu Renjia. It is small in scale, with only two floors and a total area of less than 300 square meters.
"Junior brother, let me tell you, even though this hotel is not big, it is still very famous in the surrounding area."
"Besides, call it a coincidence! The owner of this store is a fellow from Shishi!"
"I called the boss before coming here and asked her to reserve a seat for us."
"Otherwise, we might have to wait an hour or two for a table."
Everyone entered the hotel. While Zhang Jinwu was talking to Luo Yanning, a young girl wearing a black lady's suit came up to them.
“Welcome to Xiangyu Family, do you have any reservations?”
"Huh? You are...you are the king! Oh my god! I like you so much. I finally see you in person! I follow all your accounts!"
After greeting several people with a professional smile, the girl straightened up when she looked at Luo Yanning!
Apart from watching Korean dramas, Gao Yimin's biggest hobby is running. Although she is young, she has been running for ten years.
The feeling of well-being, comfort and fullness after running is irreplaceable by any other recreational activity.
Luo Yanning has recently become a well-deserved focal figure in the runner circle. Anyone who likes running has heard news about him from various platforms and channels.
While breaking the world record, he also set a new record. His breakthrough this time was equivalent to an earthquake of the century for the entire runner circle.
Luo Yanning was now somewhat accustomed to being recognized, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your support and attention."
"I, I, I, can I take a photo with you?" Gao Yimin looked at Luo Yanning expectantly, like a little fan looking at an idol superstar.
Luo Yanning smiled and said, "Of course you can, but you have to be quick. I'm going out to eat with my friends today and I don't want to be disturbed by too many people."
After hearing what Luo Yanning said, Gao Yimin immediately said: "Then let me take you to the private room you ordered first! Go and shoot in the private room!"
"This is the best." Luo Yanning nodded in agreement, and the others followed Gao Yimin and walked towards the private room that Zhang Jinwu had reserved in advance.
Going upstairs to the second floor and entering the private room, Gao Yimin got his wish and took a group photo with Luo Yanning. After thanking him profusely, he took the menus ordered by several people and went downstairs to order.
After Gao Yimin left, Zhang Qian smiled and joked: "Okay, Luo Zi, I haven't seen you for a few days. Now you have become a top star in the country. You can be recognized even when you walk."
Zhang Jinwu smiled at the side and said: "Your uncle is extremely talented. It is only a matter of time that he becomes famous all over the world. It is destined to shine in the marathon this time!"
Sun Shulan also smiled and said: "Yes, we all went to cheer for you on the day of the competition, Yan Ning. When we saw you leaving so many tall people with long legs behind you, we all cheered for you.
You feel proud."
"Did Senior Brother and Aunt Sun also go to cheer me on? No wonder I felt that I was very motivated that day. Without your encouragement, I might not have been able to achieve such good results." Luo Yanning also smiled and followed.
The two of them exchanged polite words.
After hearing what Luo Yanning said, Zhang Qian rolled her eyes at him and said, "Mom and Dad, you guys are so close. This kid Luo Zi can't help but praise him. He will be proud of you if you praise him."
Zhang Jinwu said: "Hahaha, Yan Ning's achievements are worthy of pride! Young people! When it's time to be humble, be humble, and when it's time to be proud, you have to be proud. We have broken human limits and set new records. Can't we be proud anymore?"
Sun Shulan echoed: "That's right, it's not like you don't know that Yan Ning's breakthrough this time is not just his personal breakthrough, it is a breakthrough for our country, even our entire Asia, and our yellow race. It is of far-reaching significance."
"..." Zhang Qian was also speechless to her parents. These days, the two of them were constantly praising Luo Yanning because she was a genius from heaven.
However, to be fair, in Zhang Qian's heart, Luo Yanning does deserve this kind of praise.
After the four people chatted for a while, several waiters pushed a small dining cart and brought all 16 hot and cold dishes to the table.
"Huh? This prawn, soft-shelled turtle, and this Dungeness crab, and the beef head, it seems we didn't order it, right? Was it the wrong dish?"
After Zhang Jinwu saw the dishes on the table, he looked with some confusion at Gao Yimin, who was leading the waiters to serve the dishes.
He remembered that his table only ordered 12 dishes, and the four dishes he just mentioned made it 16 dishes.
Moreover, the four newly added dishes are all hard dishes found in restaurants, and the prices are not cheap.
Zhang Jinwu reasonably suspected that he had been tricked by the hotel.
Just like the jokes on the Internet, at the end of the checkout, I will get you a sky-high bill.
Gao Yimin smiled and explained: "Mr. Zhang, don't worry, the food on your table is not wrong.
The four dishes you just mentioned were given to you by our boss.
These four dishes are all signature dishes in our store. I hope you like them and come here often in the future."
Zhang Jinwu suddenly realized: "Oh! So that's it. Come on, why are there so many extra dishes?
Don’t worry, just show your boss this refreshing attitude, and we will definitely come here more often in the future!”
Luo Yanning also smiled and said: "Thank you boss for me, thank him for the food."
"Okay, I will convey your thanks and wish you a pleasant meal."
Although he was reluctant to leave, Gao Yimin knew that if he stayed around any longer, he might become very annoying.
After saying goodbye to Luo Yanning respectfully, Gao Yimin turned around and walked towards the door of the private room, reluctantly opened the door and left.
After Gao Yimin left, several people ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was very relaxed and comfortable.
Zhang Qian has also come out of the shadow of Wu Mingshi's unexpected death during this period, and her personality has returned to her former cheerful and lively character.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the food has passed the five flavors.
When a few people were chatting, the topic turned to Zhang Qian's plan to open a self-service barbecue restaurant.
Zhang Qian was extremely confused about the location selection.
Opening a store in a better location will definitely increase customer traffic, but the annual rent will also be ridiculously expensive.
Rental fees can easily reach hundreds of thousands or even millions, and if things don’t work well, you’ll have to work for the landlord.
Where the rent is cheap, there is little traffic. Without traffic, there is no turnover and no profit.
Even if you invest hundreds of thousands to open a self-service barbecue restaurant like this, you may lose all your money.
All in all, doing business here in Beijing is a very risky investment activity!
There are many successful people, but there are even more cases of entrepreneurial failure!
Luo Yanning said sincerely: "Zhang Qian, why not follow me back to the scenic area to open a barbecue restaurant.
I predict that our scenic spots will be in a period of rapid growth in the next few years.
If a self-service barbecue restaurant is opened in a scenic spot, it will definitely be more popular than if it is opened in the capital."
"Last month, the total sales of delicious restaurants in our scenic spots were 12 million yuan, with a net profit of about 10 million yuan."
"In the commercial area around the scenic spot, a friend's milk tea shop has a total monthly turnover of 860,000 yuan and a net profit of about 400,000 yuan."
"Another friend of mine's dumpling shop has a total sales volume of about 1.06 million and a net profit of about 500,000. These are all living success stories."
"You can make money by doing business in the scenic area, and walking around in the mountains often is not only good for your own health, but also has many benefits for the children in your belly..."
Luo Yanning talked a lot, but he was not just talking nonsense, but he had actual theoretical support!
With reasonable basis, a comprehensive and highly targeted persuasion plan was implemented against Zhang Qian.
"But, we have invested so much time and energy here, wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?" Zhang Qian frowned slightly.
Although she knew that Luo Yanning was sincerely good to her, she didn't want to be too dependent on him and preferred to be an independent woman.
Although she rarely said thank you to Luo Yanning, she knew very well that she would never be able to repay Luo Yanning's debt of gratitude in her life.
Seeing Zhang Qian's words softened, Luo Yanning continued to persuade: "Selecting a store location is an extremely delicate matter, and choosing our scenic spot now may not be the best choice.
Really Zhang Qian, come to our scenic spot and work with me! You open a shop here, and I will open a scenic spot in Shishi.
In the future, when we are on separate sides, we will have fewer and fewer opportunities to meet each other. In order to make money, we have alienated our relationship. Isn’t this a bit of a loss that outweighs the gain?"
"This..." After Zhang Qian heard Luo Yanning's words, her determination to open a store in the capital was shaken.
With the more than 10 million "funeral expenses" Luo Yanning gave her, she is actually not short of money at the moment.
People tend to have random thoughts when they are free. Zhang Qian opened a barbecue restaurant just to find something to do for herself so that she can devote herself to her career.
Now, according to Luo Yinning, if she alienated her relationship with him in order to open a store, it would be too much of a loss.
Luo Yanning turned to look at Zhang Jinwu and Sun Shulan, and said half-emphasis, half-jokingly:
"Brother, Aunt Sun, what do you think? Our scenic spot will continue to increase investment in the future, and it will definitely get better and better.
Netizens from all over the country are rushing here to appreciate the mountains in our scenic spot, why do you and your family still want to go elsewhere?"
"This... ahem, I think Yan Ning is quite right! With such a good business location in a scenic spot, why do we have to leave our hometown and seek far away from home? What do you think, Qianqian?"
Zhang Jinwu was the first to agree with Luo Yanning's point of view. In recent days, he read some news reports about Luo Yanning and the Panlong Road in the scenic spot. Zhang Jinwu became very interested in Panlong Road, which Luo Yanning praised so much.
Although Zhang Jinwu doesn't say it, he is still very concerned about enhancing his strength!
However, whether to go to a scenic spot or stay in the capital, ultimately it is her daughter Zhang Qian who has to make the decision.
Thanks to the deep friendship between Zhang Qian and Luo Yanning as "iron buddies", she has almost become the main decision-maker of the family.
Sun Shulan looked at her daughter quietly from the side without making any comments. In fact, she was psychologically more inclined to return to Shi City for development.
Her older brothers, sisters, and brothers and sisters are basically all over there in Shishi. Now that she's gone, there will be fewer opportunities for everyone to meet.
This problem finally returned to Zhang Qian's hands, and she still had to make this extremely difficult choice.
"..."
In the eyes of everyone looking forward to it, Zhang Qian quickly gave the answer.
"Okay then, let's go back to the scenic spot with you."
Zhang Qian had a serious look on her face, as if she had made a lot of determination.
While talking, he said with a smile:
"Speaking of which, I'm also a little curious about what your scenic spot is like now. It's been half a year since I went hiking there."
Luo Yanning said: "Going there will definitely open your eyes."
After discussing the matter of returning to the scenic spot to open a store, Luo Yinning chatted with Zhang Qian's family over food for more than an hour.
The content of the chat was all about scenic spots and the prospects of future barbecue restaurants.
After finishing the meal, it was already past 9pm, almost 10pm.
After eating and drinking, Zhang Jinwu went downstairs to pay the bill.
I ordered a lot of food today, but I didn't spend much money.
The waiter in charge of the cashier clicked on the menu a few times, and the final amount was 869 yuan. Today's meal cost less than 1,000 yuan. The discount was really too much!
"Mr. Luo, please stay, please wait a moment!"
After settling the bill, Luo Yanning was about to go out with Zhang Qian's family of three when she suddenly heard someone calling her name.
Turning around, he saw that he really knew the person coming. Wasn't this the girl named Gao Yimin who had just taken a photo with him upstairs?
After Zhang Qian and Zhang Jinwu heard Gao Yimin's shouts, they also turned to look at her, their expressions full of vigilance.
With Luo Yanning's current popularity, while the number of fans has skyrocketed, it has also brought him a huge increase in fame.
It is quite common to be asked to take a photo while walking on the street.
But, everything happens over and over again, and we have already taken a group photo together, what else do you want?
"Mr. Luo, our boss just called and said that he will be here soon and will be here in 5 minutes at most. She really wants to meet you. This time she even canceled an extremely important meeting to come here. You see
?”
Gao Yimin looked at Luo Yanning nervously and expectantly, waiting for his decision.
If you can't even do this little thing for your boss, your position in the boss's mind will definitely be shaken.
When Luo Yanning heard that the other party had canceled an important meeting in order to see her, he was a little embarrassed to say some of the rejection words.
"Okay, let's wait for him in the rest area for another five minutes and set off in ten minutes."
Luo Yanning raised her hand and glanced at the watch on her wrist. It was already about 10 o'clock in the evening.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, for a big city like Beijing, nightlife has just begun.
