Zhang Yiting blushed at the implicit meaning of Ling Cang's words: "You... hate..."
"By the way..." Ling Cang held Zhang Yiting in his arms and walked out of the hotel. He pointed at the hanging plaque: "The name of this restaurant is... Zhang's Little Chef."
The plaque was covered with a piece of red cloth. But looking from directly below, the font on it could be clearly seen. When Zhang Yiting recognized the word "Zhang Family", her eyes couldn't help but turn red: "Husband... thank you."
Ling Cang smiled and suggested: "Bring uncle over to have a look..."
Zhang Yiting nodded vigorously: "Okay."
Ling Cang and Zhang Yiting took Zhang Chaohua over. When they saw the words "Zhang's Little Chef" stamped under the red cloth, Zhang Chaohua was even more excited than his daughter.
Two lines of tears flowed down from his eyes. His body was shaking slightly. Zhang Chaohua's voice was choked when he spoke: "I have always wanted to have a hotel of my own in my life..."
Ling Cang shrugged: "Now my wish has come true."
Zhang Chaohua's original ideal was very simple. As long as it had a small facade and a business area of tens of meters, the decoration did not need to be high-end. It just needed to be clean. He walked around the hotel. According to his experience in the catering industry Understand. I discovered that including the value of the house, the investment in this hotel is probably close to 2 million: "Xiao Cang, where did you get so much money?"
"As you know, I know the aristocratic family and have some business dealings with them, so I have some savings." Ling Cang put his hands in his trouser pockets and said calmly: "I invested everything."
"But you spent all the money. Can you do that?"
"Don't worry, uncle. I have money." In fact, Ling Cang has no money. But Ling Cang doesn't care. Money can be earned in any way. Speaking of which, Ling Cang has a big plan now and is waiting for the money. .However, the investment in this plan is quite huge. Even the small amount of money to open a restaurant is not enough.
"Xiao Cang..." Zhang Chaohua patted Ling Cang's shoulder hard: "I will run it well and earn you the money back in the shortest time."
"No need." Ling Cang waved his hand hurriedly: "If I really make money, I hope my uncle will open another store and form a chain operation. If possible, develop it into a catering company until it goes public."
"This..." Zhang Chaohua felt that this goal was too ambitious. He didn't know if he could achieve it in his lifetime.
"Uncle, I have confidence in you." Ling Cang turned and left for a while. Then he came back with a thick stack of things: "Look at this. Real estate certificate and industrial and commercial business license. I have your name on them. But there are some procedures that you have to go through in person. I can't do it for you."
"Okay. Okay..." Zhang Chaohua nodded and smiled happily: "I didn't expect that you are so capable. I feel relieved to leave Tingting to you."
"Dad, what are you talking about..." Zhang Yiting's face turned red and her head hung deeply.
Whenever he saw Zhang Yiting busy at the food stall, Ling Cang hoped to build his own career for his girlfriend. But he never found the opportunity.
If you want to do some business these days, you not only need capital and technology, but also all kinds of contacts. You need to be able to help bridge various relationships when necessary.
Especially large catering stores need to be protected by underworld forces. Otherwise, it is easy to run into trouble. Although Zhang Yiting knows Hong Xue and Hong Xue has a good impression of Zhang Yiting, we still can't expect Hong Xue to help Zhang Yiting too much.
In addition, the catering business also needs support. If you don’t have a group of friends who come frequently and recommend this place through their interpersonal relationships, good wine can be difficult to find in a dark alley.
This situation did not change until Ling Cang became the leader of the Hong Ming Gang. Then other conditions fell into place.
With the help of Huo She and Li Haoze and the support of Hong Xue, Ling Cang began to gradually accept the territory and business of the three bosses Yang Ze, Zhang Keba and Shen Zizi. It was this light company that Ling Cang chose first. Well, after transforming it into a hotel, it can be regarded as one of my own businesses. It will also be a support point for me in the Hong Ming Gang.
After coming to Minghai, Ling Cang had a lot of savings through trickery and deception. This time, he invested all of it. It was for this hotel. Ling Cang showed his highest work efficiency and decorated it in the shortest time. Then an auspicious day was chosen to open the business.
Before Ling Cang could go out to promote, Zhang's Little Chef was packed with guests. On the opening day, there was a long queue of people. There were still people waiting outside until late at night.
The reasons can be summed up. One is that Zhang Chaohua is well-known in nearby places. Many regular customers of the food stalls saw that the father and daughter had opened a restaurant and came over immediately to taste it; the other was that Tong Zhengrong got the news and brought a group of old comrades and relatives with him. Next. I held the show for three days in a row.
What kind of identity is Tong Zhengrong? Everyone pays attention to every word and deed. So many people know that this hotel has a background. A group of wealthy businessmen come here to spend money. They want to enjoy the treatment of a leader of the country. Many officials even This is to designate this place as the designated unit for official receptions. This will indirectly curry favor with Tong Zhengrong.
Shen Fanlei is worthy of being a daughter of a noble family, and she did not serve as squad leader for nothing. Under her planning, the public opinion counterattack quickly saw results.
First, the trolls organized by Zheng Bozhan won some sympathy for No. 1 Middle School on the Internet. Then, Su Mengqing updated an article on her blog, "My Opinion on "No. 1 Middle School"". As a loan student of No. 1 Middle School .tells the whole story of the incident.
Netizens are not an ignorant mob. They are also a very rational group. Gradually, the direction of public opinion began to change. The discussion focused on why students from different classes hate each other.
Then, an editorial in "Minghai News", "The "One China Sect" that is not a "sect"" caused a widespread sensation.
Gao Daquan has somewhat underestimated his influence. Since it successively reported some inside information, "Minghai Information News" has attracted a certain amount of attention. Not only is the sales volume rising, but many people are also paying attention to whether this newspaper will reveal any more shocking news. .
Although everyone knows that many of the so-called shocking information are simply made-up. However, in this age of entertainment to death, fabricated things are often more eye-catching than the truth. What's more, this editorial is not made-up. It is not only a true narrative. The whole incident also raised many thought-provoking points.
It's just that Gao Daquan didn't write it because he was lazy. He copied Ling Cang's manuscript and then added a signature at the end.
Finally, Fan Xinghai considered the complexity of the incident and that he had a certain relationship with Ling Cang, so he tried his best to press down.
As a result, although the public opinion became more and more noisy, everyone no longer simply pointed the finger at No. 1 Middle School. Slowly, the pressure from all aspects also eased. No. 1 Middle School was almost able to get through this crisis safely.
"Students..." Although she finally breathed a sigh of relief, Ding Xuehan still felt heavy: "I hope this incident can teach you a profound lesson. Pay more attention to your words and deeds in the future. Don't act arbitrarily. You have already You are an adult. Although you are not mature yet, you are becoming mature. You should correct your attitude and don't go astray on the road of life."
Everyone weakly responded: "I know."
"Okay. Let's start class now..." Ding Xuehan looked at the time. Just after walking out of the classroom, Linglan came in.
The first period was Chinese class. Ling Cang didn't take out the textbook at all. He just sat there thinking about things.
Suzuran said slowly on the podium: "Students, please turn the book to page 35..."
Shen Fanlei saw that Ling Cang was looking silly. She poked him lightly and said, "What are you thinking about?"
"It's nothing..." Ling Cang was about to explain when his cell phone rang. It was a text message from Fire Snake: "Brothers are all here."
Ling Cang stood up immediately and walked out in a hurry.
Linglan didn't want to take care of Ling Cang, but in front of so many classmates, she still needed to ask: "What are you doing?"
"Something's wrong." Ling Cang dropped these two words and left the classroom.
Today, Ling Cang called all the men from the Hong Ming Gang for a meeting. The meeting was held at Zhang's Kitchen. The reason why it was chosen in the morning was because there were fewer guests at this time. It was very convenient for whatever he was doing.
Ling Cang told the Zhang family and his daughter that he wanted to book a restaurant this morning, so the Zhang family's kitchen was not open, and the Zhang family and his daughter did not come over either.
It has been a few days since he became the boss of the Hong Ming Gang. He has not yet met all the people left behind by Yang Ze. Ling Cang needs to establish his prestige and status in front of them. In addition, there is one very important thing that needs to be done.
Huo She and Li Haoze took the lead. Everyone had arrived. Ling Cang walked in. He slowly glanced around everyone. Then he nodded thoughtfully.
"I don't need to introduce you. Everyone should already know..." Fire Snake raised his voice and told everyone: "This person is our new boss... Ling Cang."
Everyone said together: "Hello, boss." The voice was weak and sparse. Many people's expressions were obviously disdainful.
They were dissatisfied with Ling Cang, and they were not willing to let a high school student lead them. So they didn't even bother to hide their disdain. Some glanced at Ling Cang and even snorted deliberately.
"From now on, we are all brothers. We will make money together..." Ling Cang said. He snapped his fingers. The waiter came out immediately and filled the table with wine and food.
These dishes were not cooked by the Zhang family's father and daughter. Instead, they were prepared by the newly hired special chef. They were also delicious in color, aroma and taste. However, neither the fine wine nor the food could dilute the tense atmosphere in the room. Another person whispered to his companions : "Don't think you can bribe us by inviting us to dinner..."
