Chapter 220: There is still warmth in my heart
Luo Zhengming got up early, today he deliberately put on his most expensive suit, his hair is neatly combed, solemn, today he and his hotel will usher in a big turning point, he will meet with Fang Qi, the president of Genesis Company, to discuss the cooperation between the two companies. Three days ago, when he received a call from Fang Qi, he thought that Fang Qi had made the wrong call, but after confirming it again and again, he still felt a little dreamy.
Compared with today's Genesis Company and his hotel, it is the gap between Firefly and Haoyue, and cooperating with Genesis Company's Zhenwei Company, which is something he can't even dream of, and all this, in the final analysis, is because of Fang Qi's relationship with his son. Thinking of this, his heart was clouded with endless gloom, he hadn't seen his son Ah Le for many years, since Ah Le's mother died, Ah Le has changed as a person, taciturn, and after going to high school, he didn't even return home, and he relied on his own part-time job to maintain financially, and never wanted a penny from him. The words that Ah Le said are still like a knife cut in his heart when he thinks about it now, "Every penny you earn has your mother's blood on it, I don't need your money, and I won't want your money!"
He sighed lightly, and struggled to shake off the heaviness in his mind, he is not only a father, but also the owner of the hotel, he is responsible for his employees, he can't mix private affairs with official affairs, he is a man, he is the pillar of the hotel, and the people under his hands are waiting for him to pay his salary.
While he was waiting with a heavy heart, in the distance, a red supercar slowly drove into his sight, his heart suddenly froze, his face became solemn, and he hurriedly greeted him.
Fang Qi parked the car steadily, in order not to put too much pressure on Luo Zhengming, this time he only came alone. For him, this time it was not so much a business exchange as a gathering of friends.
"Mr. Fang. Luo Zhengming's tone was a little cramped, his hands were a little unsure of where to put them, he had lived a lot of years, and he still felt nervous when facing Fang Qi, the identities of the two were too different.
Fang Qi glanced around, didn't find Luo Le's figure, didn't care, looked at Luo Zhengming and said, "Uncle Luo, you don't have to be so polite, just treat me as Luo Le's friend." ”
The crampedness in Luo Zhengming's heart dissipated a lot, his face softened, he pointed to the direction of the door, and said, "Okay, let's go in and talk." Truth be told, since the last time you came to the hotel, I thought about it seriously, and thought that what you said was reasonable, my hotel has not had its own unique style, Chinese and Western styles are mixed, and the result has become a four-like, customers don't buy it at all, and business is bleak.
So, after that, I ruthlessly eliminated the Western food in the restaurant and devoted myself to Chinese food, for which I even changed the name, and now the restaurant is called Food Zhai, which is completely Chinese style. After this round of changes, the business of the hotel has also become much better, and I am no longer able to make ends meet as before, although the profit is not much, as long as I can maintain the operation, I am already very satisfied.
All of this is due to you, I have always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you, but unfortunately I have never found the opportunity. ”
"It's not necessary, it's all a gesture. Fang Qi said, glanced at the dragon flying phoenix dance on the door of the 'food restaurant', walked in the door, saw the staff of the food restaurant standing neatly on both sides, the moment he opened the door, he said in unison: "Warmly welcome Mr. Fang to the food restaurant!"
He looked at Luo Zhengming, feeling a little helpless, this matter was too formal. Luo Zhengming smiled and looked at him, his eyes seemed to say: "This is all very necessary, only in this way can I show that I value you." ”
Fang Qi was helpless in his heart, he had already told Luo Zhengming before, this time he wanted to keep a low profile, so try not to engage in any bells and whistles, but how can Luo Zhengming be the same as Zhong Mingyuan, he likes to engage in these bells and whistles, the key is that the other party is also kind, and he reaches out and doesn't hit the smiling person, which really makes him cry and laugh, I don't know when it started, and it has become a difficult thing to be low-key......
The two came to the largest box in the hotel, Luo Zhengming raised his glass and said: "Fang Qi, I'm very happy to be able to cooperate with you, I won't say anything else, do it first as a respect!" He drank all the wine in the cup, exhaled, was silent for a while, his tone became heavy, and asked: "However, I want to ask some digressions, how is Ah Le doing recently? I heard that Beijing University has been on vacation? Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, can you ask for me...... Ah Leta, will he go home for the New Year?"
Speaking of the end, Luo Zhengming's voice trembled slightly, a father, even the communication with his son has to rely on a third person, how sad it is.
"Luo Le is doing well, and he has a girlfriend. Fang Qi replied, "As for whether he will go home for the New Year, I will convey it to you." ”
Luo Zhengming's eyes lit up, the pain in his heart dissipated, and he hurriedly asked, "Ah Le has a girlfriend? Haha, this is really good! By the way, what is the name of Ah Le's girlfriend?"
Fang Qi looked at Luo Zhengming, who was happily like a child, and said, "Luo Le's girlfriend's name is Ning Luoqi, and she is a female nurse at the Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University. ”
Luo Zhengming raised his head several times, lowered it again, stopped talking several times, and finally turned into a sigh and said: "Forget it, let's talk about cooperation." Gourmet Zhai is just a small restaurant, barely able to rank in the middle and upper reaches, to be honest, you can afford me, I am very happy, but there is a sentence I have to say, you have no benefit at all to cooperate with me, or the benefit is very small, and if you don't do it, it will smash your signboard, which is more than worth the loss. ”
Fang Qi smiled and said, "Uncle Luo, you are wrong, cooperating with you is also good for me, you have been operating in the catering industry for so long, and you can survive under the suppression of the Long Group, you must have your own uniqueness, so you don't have to be presumptuous." And most of the catering industry in Kyoto is controlled by the Long family, plus I don't worry about other restaurants, and the only way to think about it is to cooperate with you.
Also, maybe our cooperation can ease the relationship between you and Luo Le?"
Luo Zhengming looked stunned, lowered his head, thoughts surging in his mind, Fang Qi's words made him fall into deep thought, and after he thought about all this, he was even more grateful to Fang Qi in his heart, raised his head again and said: "Fang Qi, if I can really make Ah Le accept me again as you said, even if I die, I don't have any regrets!"
Fang Qi paused a little and said: "Uncle Luo, then I will get to the point, I founded Zhenwei Catering Company, which is divided into two main lines: high-end route and people-friendly route. ”
"What kind of cooperation is this?"
"Zhenwei Company will provide you with ingredients, venues and signature dishes for you, and you will be responsible for the operation, and the profits will be divided fifty-fifty, how about it?"
Luo Zhengming shook his head and said: "Fifty-fifty is too much, as long as I have three achievements, I am an agent, and the main force is still yours." ”
Fang Qi wanted to say something more, but Luo Zhengming preemptively said: "Fang Qi, you don't need to say it again, three percent is really enough, if it weren't for the fear that you wouldn't agree, I would only want two percent or even one percent." After all, I really don't know how to thank you enough for the fact that you can turn our father-son relationship around. ”
When Fang Qi heard this, he glanced at Luo Zhengming's firm eyes, and agreed: "That's okay, then divide it into three or seven." ”
In a simple conversation, the meal was also good, 18 dishes, all the dishes that flew in the sky and the sea swam on the ground, this meal condensed the highest level of cooking skills in the food restaurant, half an hour down, after Fang Qi ate and drank enough, he got up and prepared to leave, Luo Zhengming naturally got up to give him a ride. When he went out of the door, Fang Qi deliberately looked around again, he hadn't forgotten what he said to Luo Le before, with his understanding of Luo Le, the other party was not a cold and ruthless person, it stands to reason that he should appear.
Under his perception, everything within a radius of 100 meters could not escape his eyes, and finally, he found a familiar figure in the corner of a small alley behind the hotel, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of curvature, thinking: "Luo Le, this kid is very his mouth, and he still has family affection in his heart, but after so many years of stiffness, he can't wipe his face to meet for a while." ”
He withdrew his gaze and said to Luo Zhengming quietly: "Uncle Luo, someone will send the contract tomorrow, as long as it is officially established in Zhenwei Company, it will be when the contract takes effect."
In addition, in fact, Luo Le still thinks about family affection, but the impact of that incident is too great, and it is difficult to heal in a short time, and if he is given some time, he will definitely be able to pass it. ”
With that, he got into the car and left the place.
Luo Zhengming looked at the direction of Fang Qi's departure, full of energy in his heart, and had some expectations for the future, as long as he could ease the relationship with Ah Le, it would be worth it for him to do anything.
In the shadow of the alley, Luo Le watched his father's every move above the surface, and the coldness in his heart had melted more than half of it. I haven't seen this guy for a few years, I didn't expect him to be so old, his original black hair has been dyed with hoarfrost, his body has become a lot more rickety, and the self-confidence of the past no longer exists, only a stubborn perseverance remains, and this old guy doesn't know how to take care of himself...... Thinking about it, he felt that his nose was a little sour, but then he thought of his dead mother, and thought of his mother's infinite nostalgic eyes before she died, the mustard in his heart that was a little loose became hard again, and finally glanced at Luo Zhengming, and turned away silently.
Luo Zhengming touched his face, glanced around, didn't find any strange people, felt a little strange in his heart, always felt that someone was looking at him, and after looking around a few times and didn't find anything abnormal, he could only think that he was thinking too much, hallucinating, shaking his head and walking into the food restaurant.
