Chapter 146: A Thousand Miles of Fragrance
The timely return of the mother has become the mediator that the father and son need the most. After this night, Ding Xiaoxuan seemed to have returned to his previous innocent appearance.
It's just that Ding Yachuan is sensitive to the fact that after this incident, his son seems to have a conditioned reflex to his mobile phone call. As soon as the phone rings, Xiao Xuan will tense up and look over, and his anxious eyes seem to tell Ding Yachuan that he is worried that his father will leave him after receiving the call again.
Ding Yachuan was full of guilt in his heart, knowing that he had inadvertently drawn an indelible scar on his son's immature heart. But he felt powerless about it - because all his verbal assurances to Xiao Xuan now could only be exchanged for the child's suspicion. Alas, I have heard that time is the best antidote to all your troubles, so let time slowly fade it all!
The subtle changes in his son made Ding Yachuan accelerate the pace of change. He is no longer satisfied with the relief of working hours, and hopes to truly liberate part of his energy to leave to his son.
And Chen Lusen is the key to liberating him. He couldn't wait to meet him.
Finally, the day agreed upon by the two arrived. At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Ding Yachuan's mobile phone rang.
"Brother Ding! I've arrived, you should be off work at this time, right? ”
Years of professional experience have allowed Chen Lusen to develop a good habit. In fact, he had already arrived in Qingshan an hour ago, but he did not contact Ding Yachuan immediately. Faced with this strange city, he skillfully found a nearby bus stop, took the first bus to come, and slowly became familiar with the place on the bus.
"You don't have to pick me up, there is a restaurant called 'Little Fishing Village' on Donghai Avenue, and I am waiting for you in the 104 private room."
Chen Lusen didn't let Ding Yachuan say a word during the whole call, he had already arranged everything.
Ding Yachuan closed the phone, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a slight smile, "Raiders of Strange Cities" was the first lesson he gave to Chen Lusen, but he didn't expect this guy to still maintain this habit. Chen Lusen's outstanding performance strengthened Ding Yachuan's belief in recruiting him to join.
After packing up his desk, Ding Yachuan drove to the small fishing village.
Although the two have not seen each other for more than a year, there has been no communication in between. But when Ding Yachuan pushed open the door of the 104 private room and saw Chen Lusen who was lying on the dining table and studying the menu carefully, the familiar feeling in his heart couldn't help but come to his heart.
Chen Lusen looked up at him, then lowered his head and looked at the menu, "Master, is it still the old rule?" ”
"Yes, you can look at it!" Ding Yachuan naturally sat on his left hand side. In the past, every time the master and apprentice ate together, Chen Lusen came to Zhang Luo to order food.
"Don't say it, there are a lot of seafood varieties here!" Chen Lusen closed the menu and smiled at Ding Yachuan: "Wait a minute, master!" ”
As he spoke, he pressed the service bell, and the waiter quickly walked in.
"Appetizing radish slices, old vinegar jellyfish head, mudskipper roasted plum vegetables, and blue crab fried rice cake. Oh, what kind of soup is your one called 'Thousand Miles of Fragrance'? Does it really smell that good? Chen Lusen was a little curious.
"Hello sir, 'Thousand Miles of Fragrance' is our specialty, the main ingredients are mustard root and tender tofu, its taste...... It also depends on personal preference, and some customers still like to eat. ”
"Okay, let's order this soup!" Chen Lusen was about to return the menu to the waiter.
Ding Yachuan stopped him and kindly reminded: "Xiao Luzi, I suggest you change the soup, you may not be able to eat this 'Thousand Miles of Fragrance'." ”
Chen Lusen laughed: "Master, have you forgotten what we are doing?" What haven't you eaten when you traveled north and south? There is still a problem of not getting used to it! After speaking, he shoved the menu into the waiter's hand, "Okay, little girl, let's arrange for the food to be served." ”
Ding Yachuan stared at him, with a strange smile on his face, and said to the waiter: "Oh, give him a small pot of rice wine, put some brown sugar, and beat an egg into it." ”
"Master, are you going to make up for me?" Chen Lusen joked. I tore open the cigarette package on the table and handed one over.
Ding Yachuan lit a cigarette and said with something in his words: "If you are by my side, I will replenish your body every day." Look at you, you haven't found a wife until now, and you don't have anyone around to take care of you, so you've lost weight. ”
"Alright! Let's talk about getting back to you! Leave the task of urging marriage to my parents, don't follow and participate. ”
Ding Yachuan didn't talk nonsense with him much, and directly put the information in his hand in front of him.
"You look first, ask me if there's anything unclear."
"Castle Peak Basketball Foundation...... Okay, master, now you're starting to play private equity? Chen Lusen just turned the first page, and when he saw the beginning, he couldn't help but say.
"Don't jump to conclusions. This foundation is not the kind of organization that you imagine is under the guise of public welfare, but it is actually an organization for the purpose of private fundraising. The purpose of establishing this foundation is to promote the development of basketball in Qingshan City. Ding Yachuan patiently introduced him.
"Our foundation is composed of eight natural person directors and one legal person director. The current fund size is $8.5 million, with an additional $2 million in risk reserves. That is, now there are tens of millions of funds on the books here. ”
"Oh?" Chen Lusen immediately became interested when he heard this number, "Then what is the proportion of the loan in these tens of millions of miles?" ”
"There is not a penny of loans, it is all real cash!"
"Hey, ......, master, is the private capital so active here?" Chen Lusen couldn't help but take a breath of cold air after hearing this.
At this time, the door of the private room was pushed open again, and the waiter brought the wine and food, "The two of you will eat some food and drink for a while, the soup will take some time, and it will come up later." ”
Chen Lusen didn't care about these at all, he asked, "Then what does the foundation rely on to generate profits?" ”
Ding Yachuan said: "Our current direction is to focus on basketball and derive other sports industries. Not long ago, we invested in the production of basketball team uniforms, and the sale of a single day generated a net profit of nearly 700,000 yuan! ”
Chen Lusen looked at him and smiled: "No need to ask, this must be from your master's handwriting?" Tell me, what can I do here? ”
"You'll do what I do!" Ding Yachuan casually took a bite of food and talked while eating.
"I'll do your thing? So why are you going? ”
Ding Yachuan looked at him and smiled, "Didn't you say that you know me best?" Of course I'm going with my son! When you come to the Blue Club, I will help you get familiar with the work for a while, and then how to make him stronger, but it depends on your ability. ”
"Blue Society?" Chen Lusen was puzzled.
"Oh! It is the abbreviation of Aoyama Basketball Sports Foundation. It means that the blue is better than the blue! Ding Yachuan explained.
Chen Lusen's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he laughed, "This name is so good!" By the way, how is Xiao Xuan doing? I was in a hurry to leave today, and I didn't have much preparation. You go back and tell him that Uncle Chen will come over in half a month and give him a big gift! ”
Ding Yachuan already knew the answer in his heart when he heard this, pointed to the wine jug on the table and said, "Okay, okay, don't spoil him!" Brown sugar eggnog, drink it hot, it is not nutritious when it is cold. ”
Chen Lusen obediently picked up the wine jug and was about to pour some into the wine glass, when the door of the private room was pushed open again.
A stench came to his face, and Chen Lusen hurriedly pinched his nose and shouted, "What kind of thing is coming in here!" Hurry up and take it, take it! ”
"Hello sir, this is the 'Thousand Miles of Fragrance' you ordered!" The waiter put the soup pot on the table, hid his face and smiled and went out.
Ding Yachuan showed a strange smile on his face again, and personally served a bowl in front of Chen Lusen: "Come on, follow the customs." Let's familiarize yourself with the tastes here! ”
Chen Lusen looked at the bowl of soup in front of him with a bitter face, and the smell that was even worse than stinky tofu really made him unable to swallow. He turned his head to look at Ding Yachuan with a pleading look, who knew that in exchange for his encouraging smile.
Alas, forget it, whoever lets himself do it, just take a bite! Chen Lusen made a huge determination, picked up the soup spoon and scooped it into his mouth.
"Hmm...... Delicious, delicious! This "stinky soup" reacted with saliva instantly when it entered his mouth, and it produced a wonderful fragrance that aroused Chen Lusen's appetite. He picked up the bowl and drank it clean, wiped his mouth and praised: "Good guy, this thousand miles of fragrance is really distinctive!" ”
