This restaurant is quite large and is very well-known around the area, but what's most special is that this restaurant uses vegetables from the Xishan Manor.
After the three people sat down and ordered a few dishes, they continued to discuss.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Here's what I'm thinking: Now that Xishan Manor has secured the Provincial City, that's enough for now. We need to change our focus; trying to do too much at once isn't advisable."
"What kind of change?" Luo Juan asked.
"My idea is to open an Xi Shan Restaurant in the Provincial City, similar to the one in Binyang. The location needs to be good, the area needs to be large, and most importantly, it needs to be affordable."
Luo Juan laughed, "Boss Ling, do you really think such a place exists? A good location with a large area and at a low cost?"
Ling Zhenfei laughed, "Of course it's possible. What our company currently lacks is cash, money. If we can't afford the rent, we can let the wealthy people in this area buy stakes in the restaurant."
"The returns from Xishan Manor are substantial. In the future, when people want to invest, we might not even allow them anymore."
Luo Juan thought for a mont and said, "Alright, I can give it a try."
At this mont, the food they ordered arrived, and the three of them began to eat. Jiang Hui had been starving, and as soon as the food arrived, she picked up her veggie salad and started digging in.
Luo Juan also started to eat. Although Ling Zhenfei wasn't hungry, he wanted to know how the food at this restaurant tasted, so he took a bite as well.
However, after eating, the expressions on the three people's faces were slightly different.
Luo Juan's expression was one of enjoynt; she felt the food was quite good, especially the veggie salad, which tasted excellent.
But Jiang Hui's expression was different; there was sothing unusual about it. And Ling Zhenfei looked sowhat angry.
"What did you think of the food?" Ling Zhenfei asked the two won.
Luo Juan replied, "It's pretty good, very tasty. True to our Xishan Manor vegetables, it's delicious."
"What about you?" Ling Zhenfei asked Jiang Hui.
Jiang Hui replied strangely, "I feel there's sothing off. Why does this veggie salad taste so different from the one at our Xi Shan Restaurant?"
Ling Zhenfei knew that Jiang Hui had eaten at Xi Shan Restaurant many tis, whereas Luo Juan had eaten less frequently, which explained their different responses.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Do you know why you feel that way? It's because this salad has other vegetables mixed in. These vegetables affect the quality of those from Xishan Manor, causing this feeling."
The two won were stunned. They hadn't expected that Ling Zhenfei would be able to tell that there were other vegetables mixed in just by tasting.
Jiang Hui said, "Isn't this fraud? How can they do this? It will damage our Manor's reputation."
Luo Juan was also very angry and said, "Let's call their manager and find out what's going on."
The two won were extrely agitated, but Ling Zhenfei stopped them.
"Forget it, there's no need to say anything today. It's enough that we've identified the issue. This problem happened at Binyang too, which ans this is not an isolated case. Many restaurants do this."
"So what do we do? Just let it be?" Luo Juan asked.
"Of course not. We'll set up an inspection team to conduct checks at the stores using Xishan Manor's vegetables. If this issue occurs, we will give a warning the first ti, a reprimand the second ti, and cut off supply the third ti."
"Alright, that's the best we can do. We should also send out a notice to inform all stores in advance," Jiang Hui said.
"Yes, we'll do it that way."
The three of them finished their al reluctantly and then left the restaurant.
Ling Zhenfei and Jiang Hui took a cab back to their villa. Upon arrival, Ling Zhenfei first checked on Lele's condition. He was quite satisfied with Lele's progress.
"How does your wound feel now?" Ling Zhenfei asked Lele.
Lele gently touched it and said, "It doesn't itch as much now, but there's still so sensation. It still hurts a bit when I touch it."
Ling Zhenfei said, "That's a normal reaction. It ans your face has grown a new layer of skin, but it's still very fragile."
Lele was very happy to hear that and asked, "When can I see my face?"
Ling Zhenfei thought for a mont and said, "Tomorrow. There will be another treatnt session where we'll change all the dication. Then you'll be able to see your face."
Lele was elated, "That's great! I guess I won't be able to sleep out of excitent tonight."
After comforting Lele, Ling Zhenfei returned to his room. He took out two pieces of yellow cloth from Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow and joined them together with his piece.
The three pieces of yellow cloth were pieced together, but there was still no reaction. It confird Ling Zhenfei's suspicion that it would take four pieces to activate the cloth.
Determined, Ling Zhenfei decided that a trip to Japan was necessary, even if it was just for that piece of yellow cloth.
At that mont, Ling Zhenfei's phone rang. He saw it was a call from Chu Bingqing.
Ling Zhenfei quickly answered the call.
Chu Bingqing's voice had the cool tone of a goddess, "Hey, Ling Zhenfei, how are you going to thank ?"
Ling Zhenfei replied, "I don't even know what happened, and you expect to thank you?"
Chu Bingqing laughed, "Rember the thing you asked about last ti? Your sister from the Film Academy? I got her a chance for an audition. If she passes, she'll get a role."
"Really? Thank you so much!" Ling Zhenfei was pleasantly surprised by Chu Bingqing's efficiency. Just one phone call had settled it.
She was a big star. Anyone she recomnded would certainly be given a bit of face. Even if there wasn't an imdiate opportunity, they would at least be given an audition, possibly landing a small role.
Ling Zhenfei quickly called Guoguo over. Guoguo ca to his room and closed the door.
"What's going on, Brother? Why did you call ?" Guoguo asked.
As Ling Zhenfei looked at Guoguo, he had to admit, she was a real beauty. Her looks and figure were on par with Chu Bingqing's, although she lacked the star quality and confidence of a big star.
"Do you call 'Brother' sincerely?" Ling Zhenfei asked Guoguo.
Sitting in the chair, Ling Zhenfei watched as Guoguo approached and held his arm: "Of course I do. Why would you say that?"
"If one day you beco a movie star, will I still be your brother?" Ling Zhenfei asked, touching Guoguo's face.
Guoguo smiled, "Once my brother, always my brother. No matter what I beco in the future, you'll always be my brother, and I'll absolutely obey your orders."
