Chapter 302: Righteous Sister
Lin Xiaozhu nodded: "If you want to cooperate, you will naturally know the roots." Since Li Sangongzi is highly valued by his elders, he is so good at business, and he is from a royal merchant family. So why leave home and come to business with someone like me who doesn't know anything? ”
The expression on Li Zhenyu's face froze, and he looked at Lu Jianning. Lu Jianning pretended not to hear anything, and just lowered his head and whispered to Xiao Xiao. Li Zhenyu had to retract his gaze, adjusted his face a bit, made it more serious, and then looked at Lin Xiaozhu and said lightly: "I have my own reasons, you don't have to ask about this." I just think your dim sum and pickles are very marketable, and I want to cooperate with you. A small business, as long as it is done well, can also make a lot of money. But now that you're working with someone else, we don't have much to talk about. ”
Lin Xiaozhu nodded, indicating that he understood, then stopped talking, reached out to take the teacup, and drank the tea slowly. In fact, if Li Zhenyu is more sincere, for Lu Jianning's sake, she can take out the roast duck from the hanging oven and make it. But if this person's situation is really as he said, he obviously encountered something and was unsatisfactory, and wanted to make a comeback through her business, but now he looks like Lao Tzu is the best in the world, as if cooperating with her is a grace, and she has to be assessed, which makes her extremely unhappy. Therefore, there is really no need to talk about this cooperation.
Lu Jianning originally wanted Li Zhenyu to talk to Lin Xiaozhu by himself, but he didn't want to stop talking after just two sentences. I had to raise my head and say as if I was playing a round: "Hey, Zhenyu, dim sum and pickles can't cooperate, isn't there still a restaurant?" You also have contacts in other countries, so you can cooperate with Miss Chen to open Baiwei House to other countries. As for Dongyue here, Xiao'er and Miss Chen have a happy cooperation, so don't put a foot in it. In other countries, if you have the ability, just do it, and this king is happy to see it. ”
Lin Xiaozhu raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Zhenyu. Seeing that he heard this, he quickly raised his head to look at himself, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes. I probably want to see my expression at this time. I knew in my heart that I would go to another country to open a restaurant. It should be the ultimate goal of these two people, right?
Lowering his eyes and thinking about it, Lin Xiaozhu knew Lu Jianning's plan. It is herself, who needs to rely on Sun Hao to collect news to open a small shop. So as not to be too occluded, resulting in passivity. A prince like Lu Jianning, who had just been entrusted with a heavy responsibility, wanted to make some achievements among the princes, and held the power in his hands tightly. Just think about it in many ways. He now wants to open a restaurant in other countries, just to get some information, right? After all, in a restaurant, there are many people. There are also high-ranking officials coming and going, and everyone starts talking about the sea and the sky after a few more drinks, and it is easiest to collect information. And Lu Jianning is afraid of his own brother and brother, so naturally it is not good for him to come forward, even Xiao Xiao can't. can only entrust this matter to Li Zhenyu, a confidant. As long as the restaurant is opened, it will be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
Now the four seas are peaceful, and there has been no war in the four countries for hundreds of years. She didn't have to worry about landing Jianning, relying on intelligence to do anything unfavorable to Beiyan and Nanhai Kingdom. And opening restaurants all over the world is her ambition. Now someone has offered to work with her. It's entirely possible to think about it. Moreover, Lu Jianning is so urgent. On the contrary, they can take the initiative in sharing and strive for their own interests as much as possible.
Thinking about this, Lin Xiaozhu raised his head and looked at Li Zhenyu.
Li Zhenyu didn't see a surprise on Lin Xiaozhu's calm face, and he didn't feel a little disappointed in his heart. But with the task in his body, he couldn't allow him to be arrogant anymore, so he pretended to have a happy expression, and said: "It's still the prince's brain that turns fast, and Zhenyu is narrow-minded." After speaking, he turned to Lin Xiaozhu, "Miss Chen, as the prince said, how about we open the restaurant to other countries?" ”
"I'm very curious, why did Li Sangongzi come to me to cooperate if he wants to have connections, capital, and ability? Rent a shop in the local area, recruit a few cooks and juniors, and open a restaurant, why cooperate with me? Lin Xiaozhu couldn't understand this question, so he naturally had to ask it clearly.
Li Zhenyu now knew that Lin Xiaozhu was not a person who didn't understand anything, and if he wanted to coax her to cooperate with him, he had to show some sincerity, so he said: "As Miss Chen said, of course, you can do business." But firstly, it is difficult to find a chef who makes special dishes, and secondly, it takes time to spread the reputation of one store after another. The three restaurants of Miss Chen opened at the same time, the level of the chef is the same, the taste of the dishes is the same, the layout inside and the costume of the second child are the same, so I feel that I can make up for these shortcomings. Needless to say, I believe that if Miss Chen can train such a chef in a month and a half, she will also be able to help our future restaurant cultivate more chefs, and I also heard from the princess that these chefs will launch new dishes every month, which is difficult for chefs in other places to do. Second, there is a great flow of people of all kinds in Shikoku. Baiwei Lou is famous in Dongyue, we want to go to other capitals to open Baiwei Lou, we can borrow the reputation here in Dongyue, people go wherever they go, they know to go to our Baiwei Lou to eat, which is much better than slowly accumulating customers one by one. ”
This was said quite sincerely, Lin Xiaozhu nodded. With a whole expression, he looked at Lu Jianning and said: "Prince Ying, Li Sangongzi, what you said is naturally very good, thanks to you for looking up to me and coming to me to cooperate, I feel very honored." But in addition to the honor, I also have some concerns. I am a little woman, powerless, powerless and unconnected, and now I have opened several shops, which are also the result of the help of the princess and Mrs. Liu. And the stall is so big at once, to be honest, I'm a little worried. Dim sum and pickle shops can't lose much money, and this has little impact. But the restaurant has only opened now, and because of the relationship between the prince, the officials and lords went to the party in a short time, so it seems that the business is good. However, after a long time, no one knows what will happen in their hearts. Li Sangongzi will see if we should push back the matter of opening a restaurant in partnership, and when the restaurant business in Dongyue stabilizes and the reputation is out, it is not too late to open up this matter. ”
Lu Jianning and Li Zhenyu were stunned. They didn't expect Lin Xiaozhu to be so excited when he heard this that he expected to sign a contract with them immediately, but put forward such a suggestion. However, after being stunned, a trace of appreciation flashed in the eyes of both of them, and Li Zhenyu looked even more relieved. At first, Lu Jianning asked him to cooperate with Lin Xiaozhu, but he was very reluctant. If you are not afraid of wolf-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates! If Lin Xiaozhu is a person who doesn't understand anything, it is definitely a difficult thing to cooperate with her. Now it seems that it can be reassured.
"It is really admirable that Ms. Chan is young and new to the business world, but she can seek stability step by step without being rash. Okay, let's wait for the restaurant. However, that does not preclude us from turning to the question of how to work together. Li Zhenyu said.
This Lin Xiaozhu is interested. At that moment, the two of them bargained, and finally reached an agreement that was satisfactory to both parties.
Lin Xiaozhu still had something to do, so he didn't stay at Yingwang's Mansion for dinner, and made an appointment with Li Zhenyu to sign the contract when he was free in two days, and said goodbye and left Yingwang's Mansion. After the three of them sent her away, back in the inner hall, Li Zhenyu asked Xiao Xiao about Chen Xi's family history.
"What are you asking about this?" Xiao Xiao asked. In the past two months, under the training of Lin Xiaozhu and her grandmothers, she has done a lot of difficult things alone, and her temperament is no longer as simple as before. As soon as Li Zhenyu asked, she became alert.
Lu Jianning also looked at Li Zhenyu in surprise. He knows a lot about this little who has played since he was a child. Li Zhenyu himself once said that it is okay to help him do things, but he will never use the major events of his life to help him make a transaction, his own wife has to find it by himself, even the elders in the family can't interfere. And he fell out with his family this time, because his family wanted to force him to marry. But now, he asked about Miss Chen's family history. Isn't it, he has a crush on this Miss Chen?
"Hey, I...... Just ask casually. When doing business together, you can't always be ignorant of your partners, right? Although Li Zhenyu pretended to be serious, he still blushed.
"Then I can't tell you." Xiao Xiao categorically refused, "It's good to do business, as long as she trains the chef and gives her own share of the capital, you don't care what kind of family background she has." ”
Li Zhenyu couldn't help but be depressed. You must not have looked at the imperial calendar when you go out today, otherwise how can you talk and hit a wall?
Lu Jianning couldn't help laughing when he saw Li Zhenyu looking at him as if he was asking for help, and said, "I guess, Li Sangongzi has a crush on Miss Chen, right?" Xiao'er, isn't that a good thing? If Miss Chen's family background is comparable to Zhenyu, the two of them are also a couple! ”
"Huh?" Xiao Xiao quickly turned her head to look at Li Zhenyu, and saw that he was slightly red, staring down at the teacup in his hand, and did not deny Lu Jianning's words, so she couldn't help but be stunned. After thinking about it, she said, "I have to ask Chen Xi about this matter." ”
"It's fine." Although Lu Jianning was happy to see the matter of Li Zhenyu and Lin Xiaozhu come to fruition, he did not want this matter to affect the cooperation with Lin Xiaozhu.
Xiao Xiao was silent for a while, then raised her head and said, "Jianning, there is something I want to discuss with you. ”
"What's the matter?"
"I want to recognize Chen Xi as my sister-in-law." Xiao Xiao said. After so many things, and after the enlightenment of Lin Xiaozhu and her grandmothers in the past two months, she can be regarded as thinking about her relationship with Lu Jianning. And she wanted to open it here, and if she didn't pester Lu Jianning, Lu Jianning would treat her better. So for this matter, she has always been grateful to Lin Xiaozhu. And Lin Xiaozhu's life experience, she only recently learned from Lin Xiaozhu's mouth. From the day she knew, she had the idea of recognizing her sister. Xuanyuan Dynasty does not discriminate against businessmen, with money, her status will naturally rise, but she still wants to repay Lin Xiaozhu in her own way. With money, and with the identity of Princess Xiling and Princess Dongyue Ying's sister-in-law, others can easily no longer bully her.
"Okay!" Lu Jianning readily agreed. He will naturally not be as simple as Xiao Xiao thinks about this matter. But from any point of view, it is a good thing for Xiao Xiao to recognize Miss Chen as her righteous sister. (To be continued)
