Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 6 She has some contrast
Why is Zhou Yu at Li Ji?
The moment Li Xingying saw her roommate, she seemed to have lost her mind and was at a loss.

If Zhou Yu knew that the person sitting in the box was her ex-boyfriend Jiang Beicheng, the scene would be very dramatic.

When he came to his senses, his first reaction was to grab the door handle and asked anxiously, "Is that restaurant bro you mentioned also eating here?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "That's Zeng Haifeng, the general manager of this store.

His father, Zeng Wei, is the founder of Chao Niu Hotpot and a well-known figure in the Jiangnan catering industry.

"Congratulations." Li Xingying smiled awkwardly, "You should go and accompany him. It's not good to keep him waiting for too long."

"There must be something fishy going on."

Zhou Yu looked at Li Xingying and said, "You are very nervous now.

Your expression and actions have betrayed you. Tell me the truth, is the person inside dating you?

Li Xingying widened his eyes.

This is a huge misunderstanding.

"No, stop guessing..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhou Yu forcefully opened the door.

"Let's see who has the charm to win over our talented girl..."

Only half of the same words were said.

Zhou Yu stared at Jiang Beicheng in a daze.

Just stupid.

When did Li Xingying get involved with him?

They just broke up yesterday!

"Did you invite him?" Jiang Beicheng looked at Li Xingying and asked Zhou Yu casually as if he were a passerby.

"No, Mr. Jiang, it's just a coincidence..." Li Xingying waved his hand and explained.

Zhou Yu tilted his head to look at Li Xingying and whispered, "Can you use some brains?"

Although it was very quiet, Jiang Beicheng still heard it.

The meaning is not to blame Li Xingying, on the contrary, it is to remind Li Xingying that with such good conditions, why do you take the initiative to rely on a man who has nothing? Waste your youth?
I just finished throwing it away and feel relieved, but you are just licking your face.

Li Xingying didn't know how to explain it now, but she felt a little uncomfortable listening to Zhou Yu's words.

After all, Jiang Beicheng was the guest she invited today.

She was also speechless about Zhou Yu's online fishing behavior last night, and said directly, "Don't look at people with tinted eyes.

I'm treating you to a meal, please show us some respect."

Jiang Beicheng didn't expect that the sisters would stand up and speak for him.

"If you are not friends eating at the same table, please don't disturb us here." Jiang Beicheng picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Zhou Yu knew that these words were meant for her.

Of course it feels uncomfortable to be kicked out.

I thought to myself, "Do you still think you're that little Mr. Jiang that everyone is praising? Who are you putting on airs for?"

After reading it, he said to Li Xingying: "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation before tonight."

Just left.

Li Xingying looked innocent.

"Why should I explain myself? I can't have dinner with my friends?"

He closed the door and sat down, calming himself down and saying, "Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself."

Jiang Beicheng looked at Li Xingying with admiration, "I didn't expect you to be a woman with a temper."

The look just now was very different from her quiet appearance and gentle words.

This girl is a bit of a contrast.

"Mr. Jiang, please stop making fun of me." Li Xingying sighed, "Society, this melting pot, has a powerful ability to change people.

Why……"

Sighed.

Jiang Beicheng could roughly understand the meaning of this sentence.

No matter how close Li Xingying and Zhou Yu were in college, after entering society and choosing different paths, their material lives and thinking and cognition have become very different. Even if Li Xingying hadn't refuted Zhou Yu just now, the two of them would have had a conflict sooner or later.

"The only constant in this society is that it is constantly changing," said Jiang Beicheng.

"Indeed, don't think about it. Let's eat, Mr. Jiang, please." Li Xingying was not affected by the previous episode and invited with a smile.

Jiang Beicheng introduced: "East China Sea yellow croaker fried rice cake, a classic dish of Taizhou cuisine, is also the dish that tests the chef's skills the most. Come and try Lao Wu's cooking skills."

Old Wu is the executive chef of this restaurant and a nationally renowned chef. He was recruited by Jiang Beicheng's mother Li Yun in exchange for 20% of the shares and an annual salary of 500,000 yuan.

"Mr. Jiang, you are very knowledgeable about food. There are many things I can learn from you." Li Xingying picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food, not forgetting to give a compliment.

Emotional intelligence is very high.

"Hmm~, it melts in your mouth, it's really delicious." said Li Xingying.

No flattery, just a genuine review.

Jiang Beicheng frowned slightly when he heard this comment.

Then he picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of yellow croaker meat and took a bite.

His face instantly darkened.

"What's wrong?" Li Xingying asked in confusion.

"The food we use is farmed yellow croaker," Jiang Beicheng said, "and it's farmed in shallow waters with a high density.

The meat is soft and tender, and even after being roasted in rice wine, you can still taste a bit of earthy flavor."

Li Xingying looked at Jiang Beicheng stupidly.

Can this be repaid?

He is indeed a young man who treats high-end business restaurants as his canteen.

"If it doesn't suit Mr. Jiang's taste, we'll order new dishes," said Li Xingying.

Jiang Beicheng said: "Ask the manager to return this dish.

Li Ji is engaging in this dirty business, deceiving consumers by selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton?

Only then did Li Xingying realize the seriousness of the problem. It was no longer a matter of farmed and wild yellow croaker.

A dish that costs 1280 yuan is cooked with farmed fish that costs only a few dozen yuan. Isn't this deceiving consumers?
Normally, this dish should be cooked with wild East China Sea yellow croaker. Wild yellow croaker weighing less than one kilogram, even if caught by sea fishing, is only five or six hundred yuan per kilogram. Adding the cold chain transportation cost by air, there is still a profit margin of several hundred yuan for the restaurant.

This profit margin is normal in high-end business restaurants.

But spending a few dozen bucks on farmed fish is excessive.

Li Xingying guessed that Jiang Beicheng must be very angry now, because this store was founded by his mother, and even if it was transferred, it still had the "Li Ji" sign hanging on it.

The Zeng family is a bit too disrespectful.

"Mr. Jiang, here's the wine you asked for." Store manager Xu Ru came in with a wine dispenser and a wine glass, and noticed Jiang Beicheng's expression.

His eyes then turned to the yellow croaker rice cake with a few pieces of meat on the table.

I understood instantly.

Xu Ru felt deeply guilty and felt sorry for Jiang Beicheng's mother.

If Li Yun had not founded Li Ji, patiently trained them, pursued high quality and high service, and made this brand famous, they would not have been able to receive the highest salary among their peers in Jiangnan City.

Li Ji Restaurant is now doing these dirty businesses. As the store manager, Xu Ru feels that she is responsible and ashamed of Li Yun's training.

I feel even more sorry for the consumers who have always supported Li Ji.

But she has no say in the management of the restaurant.

"Zeng Wei, you, and Old Wu all promised to protect the Li Ji brand. If you want to do dirty business, please replace the Li Ji brand first," Jiang Beicheng said sternly. "You are doing a disservice to the reputation of the Black Pearl Three Diamond Restaurant."

Xu Ru choked up and said, "Mr. Jiang, Li Ji hasn't been on the Black Pearl list for three years."

Jiang Beicheng looked surprised.

"Is Old Wu still here?"

"exist!"

Jiang Beicheng stood up and went straight to the kitchen, and Xu Ru followed him.

Jiang Beicheng: "Who is managing the restaurant now?"

"Mr. Zeng's son, Zeng Haifeng," Xu Ru said. "Everything in the restaurant has to go through him, including the front of house and the kitchen. He has the final say."
