Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Ash returns to school with a stomach full of questions, and whether she can rewrite history or not, she has to do her best!
In the afternoon, there were two public classes, and she didn't go back to the dormitory because she was delayed in Wanfu Building, and directly asked Ying Zheng to bring her books to the classroom.
Ash almost stepped into the classroom, but she didn't see Ying Zheng after looking around, and Fan Xiang didn't choose this teacher, so she delayed at the door for a while.
The teacher was already on the podium, and when she saw that the student had not sat for a long time, she couldn't help but look at her a few times.
Ash didn't know what was going on, but she felt that if she didn't sit down, the teacher would be furious, so she ran to Gao Minzhen and sat down.
The two of them didn't deal with each other in the first place, and they were really unaccustomed to sitting together so coldly.
"Your book." After she sat down, Gao Minzhen pushed the textbook to her.
Ash tilted his head and asked suspiciously, "Ying Zheng asked you to bring it for me?" What about her, why didn't she come to class? ”
Gao Minzhen looked at the podium and said unnaturally, "Auntie." ”
Ash knew that Ying Zheng usually looked babbling, but every time her menstrual period was like going to half a life, these days were the peak of her skipping class.
"Thank you." She thanked Gao Minzhen and then said nothing.
Halfway through the class, Ash suddenly remembered what Gao Minzhen had said when she helped herself before, she just couldn't get used to Li Lan, maybe, what would she know?
After a moment's silence, she decided to ask.
"Ahem," Ash coughed and touched Gao Minzhen's hand, "Minzhen, do you know much about Li Lan?" ”
Gao Minzhen glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, "What, do you want to clean her up now?" ”
Ash: "...... Am I the kind of violent person in your heart? ”
She felt that Gao Minzhen seemed to have some misunderstanding about herself.
Gao Minzhen: "You knocked Li Lan down her bamboo horse directly, pushed her down the stairs, and fell over Oliver, do you think you are not violent?" ”
Ash chuckled, "It turns out that the boy is her bamboo horse, I say, how can there be such a blind person, who dares to provoke me at that time." Let's not talk about Oliver, you know, it was Li Lan who pushed me first. I think you'll do it better if you were replaced. ”
Gao Minzhen also smiled, "Ash, I think you're much cuter now than before, when you were in high school, you were a cook at all, as if you didn't know anything but cooking." ”
Ash asked in surprise, "So you started paying attention to me when you were in high school?" ”
Gao Minzhen: ...... Who made you pretty?!
But she would never admit the fact that Ash is good-looking, and directly changed the topic, "Why did you suddenly inquire about Li Lan?" You have to let me know before I can tell you. ”
Ash paused, thinking that with Gao Minzhen's mother and her mother's friendship, it would probably not be long before she knew about it.
So she didn't plan to hide it from her, saying: "Her family opened a restaurant opposite my house, and everything was imitated exactly the same, but she engaged in a price war and wanted to bring down my family." ”
Hearing this, Gao Minzhen also looked at her sideways, and seemed a little surprised, "You even told me this?" ”
Ash shrugged: "Didn't you tell me to say that?" ”
Gao Minzhen: "...... Well, her family is also engaged in real estate, and it has been booming in the past two years. But I don't know why her family suddenly wanted to open a restaurant, and deliberately disgusted your family, imitating you and opening opposite your house. ”
Ash pondered for a moment and asked again, "Then do you know something about Li Lan, well, something similar to gossip?" ”
Gao Min looked at her strangely, "You're not such a gossip person, are you, why do you ask that?" ”
Ash: "Because I think she has a deep hatred for me, I don't know where it came from, I don't think I'm going to push me down in the crowd just by scolding her in the classroom, right?" ”
Gao Minzhen replied: "That's not necessarily, just because you scolded me on the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, I want to push you down the stairs." ”
Ash was speechless.
She asked, "Then do you know any gossip about her?" ”
Gao Minzhen pondered for a moment and replied, "There is really a gossip." ”
Ash: "Huh? ”
Gao Minzhen: "The relationship between her and Fang Yizhou seems to be quite good, and there are rumors in the outside world that the two of them have dating." ”
"What?" Ash's eyes widened, "Fang Yizhou doesn't even let go of minors??" ”
Gao Minzhen: "No, in the past six months, Li Lan is already 19 years old. ”
Ash nodded, lost in thought, could it be that her hatred for herself came from Fang Yizhou?
But she always felt that this reason was too far-fetched, even if Li Lan was really Fang Yizhou's girlfriend, she wouldn't open a restaurant to scare her family!
"Thank you." Although the information given by Gao Minzhen made Ash even more confused, she felt that Gao Minzhen was willing to tell her that it was quite good, just because of such a bad relationship between the two of them.
Gao Minzhen raised her eyebrows and didn't speak, she just suddenly felt that Ash didn't seem to be so annoying.

After Ash and Gao Minzhen finished investigating this matter, Wanfulou had already taken action.
In the afternoon of the same day, Wanfulou directly invited the elderly waist drum team and held their signboards to publicize everywhere. Especially in the streets near the restaurant, this traditional way of publicity is always difficult to ignore.
On their billboard, it is clearly written, "Our restaurant has invited the chef of Shiheng Restaurant with a lot of money", this sentence. Then he announced simply and bluntly that because he tried a new style, all customers who went to the restaurant for a week would be discounted by 20%.
In newspapers and magazines, they also invited the opposite of Reporter Wang's newspaper to publicize, and Ash guessed that the reason why Reporter Wang didn't answer was entirely because of the previous fight.
The Li family obviously also attaches importance to the importance of the Internet, and they also found some people on Weibo to market and buy hot searches.
As a result, the secrets that the Ai family originally tried so hard to cover were instantly exposed.
The public now understood why the kitchen of Shiheng Restaurant was on holiday, and they sighed that they had lost the chef.
That night, the business of Shiheng Restaurant fell to the worst since it opened, and even the occupancy rate of the hotel dropped a lot.
Ash couldn't sit still any longer and went straight home, she had some ideas and wanted to meet with her father.
*
The atmosphere at home is still not good, and there is a problem in business, and no one feels good.
The family sat together, without superfluous polite words, Ash asked Ai Shiheng directly, "Dad, is there any eyebrows about the chef?" ”
Ai Shiheng shook his head, "I don't want to find a chef casually, I have to taste the taste, this matter is too important, if the restaurant is not handled well, it may indirectly affect the business of the hotel." Hee-hee, it's about Ai's reputation, can you understand? ”
Ash, of course, understands that this is not just about reputation, but also about testing Ash's ability to deal with crises. If you lose a chef, Ai will have no choice, who would dare to trust such a company.
"Daddy!" Ash shouted thoughtfully, then asked, "Do you believe me?" ”
Ai Shiheng looked at her inexplicably, "Why do you ask this, when did Dad not believe you?" ”
She smiled slightly, and then said, "Is Dad willing to let me be the head chef of Ai's?" ”
"I disagree!" Lian Yuyan rushed in front of Ai Shiheng to reject her, "Ash, things haven't reached the point of exhaustion, I hope you can finish college seriously." Even if we can't solve this problem, we can discuss countermeasures with the Fang family, and there is no need to sacrifice your personal time. Besides, you still have to assist Fang Jinchao in treating his taste failure, where do you have more spare energy! ”
Ash expected her mother to be so excited, and it was rare that she didn't talk back to her, and her attitude was very good.
She said softly, "Mom, you listen to me first." I do want to be the head chef of a restaurant, but I think about whether to take this opportunity to transform the restaurant directly. ”
"Oh?" Ai Shiheng became interested, "How to transform?" ”
Ash then explained, "Our restaurant can continue to do it, but there is no need to cook traditional Chinese food like before, and it can be converted to that private style of cuisine." Well, let's put it this way, we don't need to have many more customers or how many dishes to cook, we can change to just a fixed order a day. If the order is full on the day, you can make an appointment in advance for the next day, which is equivalent to engaging in 'hunger marketing'. ”
Estalk pondered his daughter's words, "This strategy is indeed novel, which not only reduces the workload of chefs, but also makes the brand to the next level." It's just that the risk is also very high, and it seems that there are no such private restaurants in vogue now, and most people still prefer cheap Jianghu dishes. ”
Ash added, "Dad, I don't think so. In fact, I think people's consumption will only get higher and higher in the future, and this model is not too new. Aren't all three-Michelin-starred restaurants booked long in advance, and people aren't flocking to them yet, so why can't we follow suit? ”
Ai Shiheng: "That's true, but we are not a three-Michelin restaurant after all, and there is still a risk. ”
Ash nodded, "Well, but Dad, think about it, how well the response to Apple's mobile phone entry into the Chinese market this year is." In the past, a Nokia or Samsung of two or three thousand, people thought it was very expensive, but what about the Apple mobile phone, which is more expensive, isn't it also a best-seller? So, Dad, I think we can give it a try. As for the head chef, you don't have to hire any more, I'll just be in charge, I'll take a week off, I'll work on two or three new dishes, and then we'll open again. Of course, this is only the solution I can think of at the moment, it is risky, Dad, you can refer to it. ”
Ai Shiheng thought for a moment, then turned to his wife and said, "Yuyan, I want Xixi to try, this method is very ingenious, what do you say?" ”
Lian Yuyan replied with a cold face: "You are so excited to try such a high-risk countermeasure, so have you ever thought about communicating with the Fang family, now that our two families are partners, should you take this plan to discuss with them before making a decision?" ”
Ash's eyes lit up and he asked, "So, if the Fang family also thinks it's feasible, mom, you agree?" ”
Lian Yuyan narrowed her eyes, "Ash, I'm just saying this to express the fact that you don't think about the problem completely. You are so anxious to verify the new method, so have you ever thought that Wanfulou can imitate us once, and can imitate us a second time. I think the most urgent thing is to understand Wanfulou's motives, not to transform immediately. ”
