The headquarters of the Restaurant Association, the building that has just been rebuilt a few years ago is magnificent, but the atmosphere in this building is a little solidified, and the staff wearing the work clothes of the Restaurant Association are a little confused and panicked looking at the guards of the City Lord's Mansion who are coming in and out of the building, although they have not been arrested, but they have been restricted from leaving the building.

"Did you ever think there would be such a day?" On the second floor, Robert asked as he looked at Warren, who seemed to be ten years old overnight and had a lot of gray hair on his head.

"I thought about it ten years ago, but nothing happened for so many years, so I had a bit of a fluke mentality, but I didn't expect it to come." Warren held the railing with both hands, looked at his frightened subordinates below, looked at the restaurant association building built according to his vision, and grinned, his smile was a little bitter.

"Do you regret it?" Robert also looked down and said after a moment of silence.

"Why regret it?" Warren put away the smile on his face, stood up straight, raised his hand with some pride: "Look at this magnificent building, you look at the staff of the restaurant association, the big sculptures standing outside the building, these are all brought by me, how many customers come to the restaurant to eat according to the food ranking every day, why should I regret it?" Even if I don't have the title of City Lord's Mansion, give me five more years, and I can still achieve the scale I am now. ”

"Do you think the elder would expect such a gastronomic association?" Robert looked at Warren, was silent for a moment, and asked.

"Maybe......" Warren's face froze, and he slowly turned his head to look at Robert, and suddenly felt that he saw a familiar feeling between Robert's eyebrows, and hesitated: "Who are you?" ”

"Elder Laurie is my grandfather, and you should have seen me when I was a child." Robert likewise looked Warren in the eye.

"How...... How can it be! Warren looked at Robert in disbelief, as if he had heard something extremely ridiculous.

"My grandfather founded the Food Association, but my father was not interested in it and didn't let me contact it, and then my grandfather handed over the Food Association to you, and he died the next year, and our family has not had any contact with the Food Association since then, but I promised my grandfather on his deathbed that he would watch the Food Association, so I have been secretly watching."

"You are indeed a genius, President, the restaurant association can develop so quickly, beyond everyone's expectations, my grandfather must not have imagined that his idea of just wanting to make it easier for everyone to find food would become such a big association now. But he certainly doesn't want to see the food rankings become what they are now, and they can rely on money instead of being delicious, and this flavorful food ranking has completely departed from his original ideas and concepts, which is not right. Robert looked at Warren and continued, his expression calm.

"So, since last year, you've come to the restaurant association just to get to where you are today?" Warren clenched his fist.

"I've advised the president many times that if the president can pull back from the precipice, I don't want to see this today. The Food Association is the work of my grandfather for half of his life, but it is also the hard work and efforts of the president for most of his life, and in the early years of the Food and Beverage Association, the President did use the food ranking to drive the Food and Beverage Association of Aden Square into a period of rapid development, which are your indelible achievements. Robert shook his head, watching Warren's gaze grow firm and stern, and his voice became serious:

"But the president never listened to me, and the sculpture at the entrance of the restaurant association still engraved the old president's words, 'All for the food!' What a mocking sentence standing at the door of the current restaurant association? I don't know if you remember what you promised in front of that old man? Do you remember your original intention? Do you still remember what you promised when you signed the agreement with the City Lord's Mansion, what have you been sitting on all these years? Before the restaurant association falls into the abyss with you, I'm going to stop it and get it back on track. ”

Warren looked at the resolute expression on Robert's face, the hand holding his fist slowly loosened, and the strength of his body seemed to dissipate, his hands regained his grip on the railing, and his eyes looked at the distance a little blankly, the magnificent building was crumbling, it seemed that it would fall down with a slight push, and the building that had cost him half of his life, the restaurant empire he had built up, began to crumble in front of him.

"Actually, I didn't expect it to be like this......" Warren smiled a little self-deprecatingly, looked at the sculpture at the entrance of the building, and continued: "At first, I just wanted to build a headquarters for the restaurant association, but I didn't have the money, so I started thinking about how to make money, and selling tickets was obviously a good way.

Later, some restaurants secretly stuffed me with money in order to get on the list, but at first I refused, I couldn't let me accept it, and I would accept it, how could the food list be tarnished by money.

But one day I found that in fact, no one cares about it, I only need to change a ranking on the list, and the money I get is more than the money from selling tickets, and I can leave a part of it to the association, how much to pay, how much to keep, all by my heart, the feeling of having money in my hand is really fascinating.

Later, the Aden Chamber of Commerce found me, President Jeffrey is indeed an old fox, but he also knows the rules, knows how to use the rules more naturally, although the money is a little less than collecting alone, but the list of doing so is indeed better-looking. Later, Cyril began to take over the catering department of the Aden Chamber of Commerce, and he gave more money than Jeffrey, but also demanded more, and almost controlled the entire list.

I know the risks, but every time I see the boxes of dragon coins delivered to the office, I am reluctant to send them back, and the food rankings are like a sailboat that has lost control in a storm, and since then it is no longer under my control, I can't give it directions, I can't control its speed, and even the rules are no longer customized by me. I'm still the president of the restaurant association, but I know that I'm just a puppet controlled by money, and all they need to do is send money to my office when they need me to do anything.

I can't refuse, I can't make a decision, I don't dare to refuse. Compared with the Aden Chamber of Commerce, the restaurant association is like a child who can only babble, and after letting it in, it has no power to fight back. I can only let myself forget what my original intention is, and every day when I enter the door without looking at the words engraved next to the sculpture, I tell myself that these are what I deserve. ”

"Actually, I know...... All of this is something I shouldn't touch, but once I open the box of desire, I can't close it again. Warren sighed, retracted his gaze to look at Robert, stretched out his hand and gently patted his shoulder and said seriously: "Little guy, I remember you, the little yellow hair who ate roast beef behind the old president and didn't like to wipe his mouth, if the restaurant association is your guide in the future, I hope you can make everyone who enters and exits this door face that line with their heads held high." ”
