I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 582 Xu Yunyun's "Gesang Flower" Restaurant
Bai Ou affectionately linked arms with Fang Qingye as they strolled along the streets near the Bund.

Today is May 5.4th, Youth Day. To commemorate his last Youth Day, Bai Ou specially gave all the young people in both companies a half-day off, including himself.

Fang Qingye returned after attending the financing signing ceremony held by Ele.me at its headquarters.

As the chairman and legal representative of the company, it was his duty to sign investment agreements with representatives of various investment institutions. However, he left immediately after signing the agreements and did not attend the subsequent press conference.

Let Zhang Xuhao and the others deal with the reporters; I don't like that kind of thing.

There was no sun today, the weather was cool and refreshing, and a gentle breeze made it quite pleasant to stroll around.

Bai Ou also took off her usual office lady skirt and high heels, and put on a T-shirt, denim shorts, and canvas shoes, revealing her long, white legs.

"Ye Zi, you said the merger of Ele.me and Meituan is definitely the topic that reporters will be most interested in and will ask Zhang Xuhao a lot of questions about." Bai Ou asked as they walked.

"Hehe, it's fine as long as he denies it," Fang Qingye said with a smile.

While having morning tea with Ma Huateng in Shenzhen, I casually remarked that Ele.me might merge with Meituan. Somehow, the rumor got out and spread like wildfire online. Of course, executives from both companies vehemently denied it.

Fang Qingye later ordered an investigation, but neither Wang Chenyang nor Song Xiaoqing revealed this information. It was later speculated that it was Lin Haifeng from Tencent who leaked it.

Since I've already said it, I've already said it.

It's nothing serious.

Some things are said with a mix of truth and falsehood, which is to some extent a test of the public's reaction.

The two strolled around the streets for a while, and around 5 p.m., Bai Ou said she was a little hungry and wanted to find a place to eat. Fang Qingye immediately agreed.

He wasn't hungry, but his legs were really tired, making shopping a very painful experience.

"Shall we go to Jean Georges? It's a Michelin-starred French restaurant, and the salmon is excellent."

"Should we go to Yujintian? Their new-style braised fish has a unique flavor," Fang Qingye asked, scrolling through her phone.

He used the Eleme app.

Now, Ele.me not only provides food delivery, but also offers a full range of one-stop lifestyle services including food, travel, hotels, and movies.

Bai Ou shook her head: "Let's not go to those places. Some require reservations and others require queuing. Let's just find a small restaurant nearby to eat something casually, then stroll along the Bund and go see a movie!"

Still want to wander around?

Fang Qingye was heartbroken.

However, since I rarely get the chance to go shopping with my wife, I can't show any reluctance.

"Okay, let's just find any restaurant nearby."

There were no small restaurants on the main street, so the two turned into a side street, which was relatively quieter. Soon they spotted a small restaurant called "Gesang Flower Restaurant".

"Wow, what a nice name! Let's go in and take a look." Bai Ou immediately became interested.

"I guess it's a Sichuan restaurant. Do you like the food there?" Fang Qingye said as she followed them inside.

The shop is not large, only about 1 square meters, but it is quite clean. There are a few tables against the wall, one customer, and two delivery guys in blue uniforms waiting for the delivery. They are obviously Ele.me delivery riders.

The two sat down and looked at the menu on the wall. Then they heard a woman speaking Mandarin with a Sichuan accent ask, "What would you two like to eat?"

Why does that voice sound so familiar?

Fang Qingye turned her head to look at the short-haired girl standing in front of her. She was petite and delicate.

"Xu Yunyun?!" It was actually Xu Yunyun, whom I knew.

"Brother Fang, Sister Bai." Xu Yunyun recognized the two of them and looked pleasantly surprised.

“Xu Yunyun, it’s been three years since I last saw you. I went to the food street on Fucheng Road and met Sister Wang, who runs a stall with you. She said you went back to your hometown, Bazhou. I didn’t expect you to still be in Shanghai,” Fang Qingye said.

"I went back to my hometown for a while, and then I came back," Xu Yunyun said, recounting her experiences over the past three years.

It turns out that Xu Yunyun left Nanxin and came to Shanghai, where she and her fellow villager, Sister Wang, set up a stall at the Fucheng Road night market in Lujiazui, selling things like dan dan noodles and wontons.

Fang Qingye met her by chance three years ago and asked her to open accounts at banks and futures companies in her name. Fang Qingye then used Xu Yunyun's account to trade Shanghai rubber futures and made 13 billion yuan. Later, she thanked Xu Yunyun and gave her 100,000 yuan.

“Brother Fang, I didn’t feel comfortable going back to my hometown, so I stayed there for a while and then came back to Shanghai. I used the money you gave me to open this Gesanghua Restaurant, which sells Sichuan cuisine,” Xu Yunyun said at the end.

"How's business?" Fang Qingye asked.

“This place isn’t very popular, and not many people came to eat here at first, but last year we joined a food delivery platform, and now we get a lot more takeout orders.”

As Xu Yunyun was speaking, several more food delivery riders came in through the door. Fang Qingye looked at them and saw that some were wearing Ele.me's blue uniforms and others were wearing Meituan's orange uniforms, but there were more people wearing blue uniforms.

"Yunyun, what are you chatting about with the guests? Hurry up and order!" A young man dressed as a chef, wearing a white apron around his waist, walked out of the kitchen, speaking in a Sichuan accent.

"Let me introduce you. This is Brother Fang, Fang Qingye, and this is your wife, Bai Ou."

"His name is Liang Jian. He's from my hometown and also my boyfriend. We own the shop together," Xu Yunyun said, a little shyly at the end.

“Brother Fang, Fang Qingye, the chairman of Ele.me?!” Liang Jian’s eyes lit up when he saw Fang Qingye: “Hello, I’ve heard Yunyun mention you. She said you know her father and have helped her a lot.”

It seems that Xu Yunyun has concealed her past in Nanxin.

But all of that is in the past now.

But Liang Jian's words "Chairman of Ele.me" immediately attracted the attention of several food delivery riders nearby, especially the Ele.me rider in the blue uniform, who looked at him with curiosity.

It is rumored that the person truly in charge of Ele.me is not the CEO Zhang Xuhao, who frequently appears in public, but rather the mysterious chairman.

Let alone these lowest-level delivery guys, even many of the regular employees at Ele.me's headquarters have never seen them.

Is this the person standing before me?

He's not very old, about the same age as Zhang Xuhao.

I thought he was a mysterious old man.

"Liang Jian, Yunyun, you two hurry up and get back to work. These delivery guys are waiting to deliver the food. It wouldn't be good if customers complained about being late," Fang Qingye reminded them.

"Yes, yes, then let's get busy." Liang Jian and Xu Yunyun hurriedly walked into the kitchen, and Fang Qingye and Bai Ou also ordered two dishes.

Several delivery guys were waiting to deliver their food, whispering among themselves as they glanced at Fang Qingye and Bai Ou, who were also waiting for their meals. One of the Ele.me delivery guys, with a buzz cut, was a bit bolder and couldn't help but ask.

"Hello, are you really the chairman of Ele.me?"

"Yes, we can't deceive people about this." Fang Qingye smiled.

it is true? !

"Then, Mr. Fang, is it true that Ele.me and Meituan are going to merge?" the short-haired deliveryman asked again.

The delivery guys around Fang Qingye were all looking at her.
