After 11 p.m.,

Most of the restaurants in Lao Cai are closed.

The few remaining restaurants are either doing brisk business or are cleaning.

The streets are deserted,

There was a faint sound of broken wine bottles, and it was estimated that there were a few more drunk guys.

The kitchen next door.

Bang Bang ---

Except for the crunch of chopsticks and porcelain bowls, the restaurant is as quiet as stagnant water.

Su Rui fiddled with her phone at the cash register, her eyes checking the direction from which the sound came from.

The bouncer in the suit with sunglasses and black gloves still stood there like a piece of wood, just like he had seen it at first sight.

The middle-aged man with gray temples was eating white rice and fried beef with green onions, and he didn't say a word during the process.

Li Can sat opposite the middle-aged man.

"Sister Su Rui, it's not too early, you can go back first."

"Are you sure you don't need help?" Su Rui's heart was like a mirror, knowing that Li Can intended to support herself, but she just let him do the cleaning alone later, and she was a little reluctant to go.

"I can handle it." Li Can nodded slightly, his eyes affirmative.

"Okay, I'll go first." Su Rui didn't say much, walked out of the door with her satchel on her back, stopped a taxi, and drove in the direction of the street.

Only Li Can and three people were left in the store.

Bang Bang ---

Maybe there were no outsiders present, or maybe the scallion and beef were too delicious, and the middle-aged man directly poured the last half bowl of rice into the dinner plate and mixed it well, and ate it on the plate.

About a minute later,

When the last bite of bibimbap on the plate was eaten by the middle-aged man, he put down his chopsticks with satisfaction.

The young bodyguard handed him a glass of water and a capsule-shaped medicine.

"Hey, the gastrointestinal function can't catch up with when I was young, and if I eat too much, I have to rely on medicine to help digestion, otherwise the whole person will be very uncomfortable the next day."

The middle-aged man tilted his head and took the capsule,

"Yes, the craftsmanship has not diminished, but it is better than it used to be.

The shredded beef is smooth and tender, the green onions are charred and fragrant, the smoky feeling is just right, and the heat is extremely perfect.

The sauce is oily but not greasy, the taste is obvious and rich, and the sweetness of the red pepper is a perfect match.

I'm afraid that in this cherry blossom area, no one can fry better fried beef with green onions. ”

Hearing this extremely high praise, Li Can was not complacent, and his face was expressionless.

He hadn't deceived Su Rui before, the middle-aged man in front of him was indeed more than a hundred times more powerful than the richest man in the Sakura District, because the top ten large enterprise groups in Canglan City were all his industry, and the assets of any enterprise were not comparable to the richest man in the Sakura District.

His name is Wei Chong, and he is an unknown but able to call the wind and rain at the helm of the family!

It's the father of the blue!

"You don't seem to welcome me." Wei Zhong muttered to himself, his expression did not change in the slightest, making it impossible to guess his specific intentions.

"Uncle Chong wants to eat the dishes I cooked, how can I have a reason to refuse." Li Can replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Wei Zhong showed a smile of relief, looked around, and said, "How is it, are you still used to it here?" ”

"It's good, at least there aren't those flies flying around in front of you." Li Can would not be stupid enough to ask the other party how he knew that he was here, because of the latter's ability, there are ten thousand ways to find himself.

The only thing that surprised Li Can was that it had only been a day since he left the imperial court, and Wei Zhong was able to find himself in such a short period of time, which showed that he had been paying attention to his movements!

"If you nod your head, I can make the court disappear immediately, or make those annoying flies kneel on the ground and apologize to you." Wei Zhong calmly said a shocking sentence.

If there are outsiders present at this time, I am afraid that they will laugh at him for being ashamed.

Li Can didn't smile, because the middle-aged man in front of him did have this ability, and the latter only needed to show his heart, and countless people would be willing to help him complete this matter.

"How? Want to vent this bad breath? ”

Li Can stared at Wei Chong's unfathomable eyes for a long time, "What about the conditions?" I don't think you're doing it because of my father. ”

"Hey." Wei Zhong let out a long sigh, "Since your father left, no one has been my bosom friend, not even your Aunt Yuling.

But there are some things that can't be changed, you know? ”

Li Can didn't squeak.

"I have cultivated Weilan since I was a child, just so that she can take over all the industries after my death, but now, she only thinks about you, and she doesn't care about the entire family at all."

"Inheriting the family business is not what Azure wants at all, she wants to live her own life." Li Can said.

"You're too young to know the pros and cons."

Wei Zhong was not angry and continued,

"There are still many competitors in the family, and if I don't help Azure control the situation while I'm alive, then after I die, no one will be able to suppress them.

The battle of interests is far more brutal than you think. ”

Wei Zhong shook his head,

"I didn't tell you this before, because I thought there was still time, and it didn't matter if she messed around for a while.

But now, she's about to graduate.

Any idea what that means? ”

Without waiting for Li Can to answer, Wei Zhong continued, "It means that everyone will subconsciously regard her as a threat!" and take action on it. ”

Li Can understands this truth, just like a husband who is innocent and guilty.

Normally, as soon as Teal graduates, she will start to get involved in the family business, and those competitors will not sit idly by, and will inevitably act secretly to eradicate dissent.

"So, can you help me persuade her?"

"I can convey what you mean, but whether Azure wants to or not, that's her freedom." Li Can's meaning is obvious, and he will never use Weilan's feelings for him to influence her decision.

"Would you like to watch her embattled?" Wei Zhong accentuated his tone, "In case she is in danger in the future, and I'm not there, who can help her?" Are you? A cook who is now reduced to working in a fly restaurant? ”

"Cooks can do a lot of things, too." Li Can's eyes were extremely determined.

"Yes, in the past, when you were in the imperial court, you were indeed the number one person in the food industry, and you had a little influence, but now, even if you blow yourself up, you will only attract ridicule."

Wei Chong's face was slightly cold,

"You don't think people will be ecstatic when they hear your name, right? To put it mildly, others care about the food, not the people who make it.

If you look at the Imperial Court, after you left, business was better than before, and even some people didn't even know that you had left the Imperial Court, and they couldn't taste the changes in the dishes. ”

Wei Zhong smiled helplessly,

"Any idea why? Because if your dish can be imitated by others for the first time, it can be imitated for the second time, the third time, or even more.

There is never a shortage of good chefs in this world, only unique cuisine.

However, unique food will always be imitated!

Just like this plate of scallion fried beef, aren't you also imitating the practices of your predecessors, even if you surpass it, it is still green onion fried beef! ”

Li Can's heart was like a knife, and he was speechless.
