In her previous life, Gu Wanxing devoted her heart and soul to supporting her husband and raising their daughter, toiling like an ox and horse for half a lifetime, only to be killed by her ungratef...
Chapter 19 Discussing investment and meeting Fu Zheng again
There was a door behind the bar, with a half curtain covering it. She had always thought that was the kitchen, but why was Fu Zheng there?
The figure that flashed through the door was clearly Fu Zheng, she was definitely not mistaken.
A guess came to her mind.
While she was thinking, the waiter pushed the menu forward again and asked softly, "Comrade, what's wrong with you?"
The little girl's voice was like a breeze, hard to ignore, and it brought Gu Wanxing back to his senses.
She smiled apologetically:
"One stewed black sausage with pickled cabbage, one spicy and sour shredded potatoes, and one stir-fried pork with green onions. Two bowls of rice."
Since her rebirth, she has never had a proper meal. She even died hungry. When she saw something she wanted to eat, she wanted to stuff it all into her stomach.
But she was still somewhat rational and only ordered three dishes, thinking that if she couldn't finish them, she would pack them up and put them in her space to eat in the evening.
The waiter was writing down the information in the notebook earnestly. Gu Wanxing glanced at the door behind the bar again. "Hey, miss, can I ask how many owners are there in your shop?"
The waiter looked up in confusion: "Why are you asking this?"
"Oh, nothing, just asking casually. If it's inconvenient to talk about it, forget it."
"There are two bosses in our store, both men."
The young waitress thought to herself that there was nothing to hide, but she still took it to heart. She wondered if this female comrade would fall for her brother Shanzi.
But when she thought of Lin Shan's appearance, she quickly rejected her idea. It certainly wouldn't happen. Brother Shan is too ugly.
"I see. Okay, thank you. I'll just order these dishes."
Gu Wanxing had no idea of the complicated inner thoughts of the waiter in front of her. She had an idea in her heart and knew that the person she just saw should be Fu Zheng himself. It seemed that the boss made his fortune in his previous life by relying on this restaurant.
"Okay, wait a moment, but we have plenty of food. Are you alone?"
"Yes, I will pack up what I can't finish."
After saying that, her eyes fell on the bag placed on another chair. Inside was a square lunch box.
The waiter followed her gaze and understood.
"Okay." The little girl nodded heavily and left.
Gu Wanxing looked at the little girl, who had changed from her previous calmness to a somewhat lively look, and the corners of his lips curled up. After all, she was still a young child.
After the waiter left, she looked at the man at the bar again. He was looking out the door.
She doesn't look very old, but she looks a little...
Well, he looks a bit shifty. Gu Wanxing is a little unsure whether this is one of the two bosses mentioned by the waiter.
Now that the food hasn't arrived yet, she decided to go up and ask.
So she stood up and went straight to the bar.
Lin Shan caught a glimpse of a tall figure walking towards him and immediately turned his gaze back to the outside.
He smiled and asked, "Comrade, do you need anything?"
Gu Wanxing stood in front of the bar, looking at the other person calmly: "I... do have some needs."
She looked composed and calm.
Lin Shan couldn't help but sit up straight. Although the person in front of him was a beautiful woman, he had the illusion that he was facing his good brother.
Gu Wanxing was the CEO of a large company in his previous life. Whenever work-related issues were involved, his aura would naturally be transferred to his previous life.
"You said..." Lin Shan smiled politely.
"I wonder if the boss is looking for a partner? I have some new recipes I've been thinking of. Of course, I'm not here to sell them, I just have some spare cash and I'd like to make some investments."
Hearing this, Lin Shan's eyes flickered slightly. He did have the idea of developing in the city recently, but he hadn't had the time to tell his good brother yet.
Now someone is rushing to give him money, and he even suspects that this woman knows what he is thinking.
However, this matter still needs to be discussed with his good brothers. After all, if they want to open a store in the city, the money they need will definitely be a lot, and he is worried now.
Yes, this shop is not owned by him alone.
Gu Wanxing has been paying attention to the other person's expression, and naturally she caught those subtle movements.
"Boss, you can think about it carefully. I'm not in a hurry."
She said it calmly.
"Well, I need to ask our other boss. Coincidentally, he's here today too. Please wait a moment, I'll call him out."
Lin Shan's heart was moved. Although the woman in front of him was dressed in ordinary clothes, she had the aura of a superior.
Gu Wanxing's eyes were deep and wise. He nodded gracefully and made a gesture of invitation.
Lin Shan wondered in his heart, could it be some invisible rich woman?
He thought for only a moment before going into the kitchen.
After a while, Lin Shan called Fu Zheng out.
Gu Wanxing pretended that she had just seen Fu Zheng, with a flash of surprise in her eyes:
"So it's you?"
When Fu Zheng saw that it was her, his brows furrowed.
"Yes, it's me." He replied indifferently and nodded in cooperation.
But I was also very curious in my heart. Could she be the rich woman who gave money that Shanzi mentioned?
It doesn't look like...
Lin Shan looked at his good brother, then at the woman standing in front of the bar, and was a little confused for a moment.
"You two? You know each other?"
Fu Zheng raised his eyelids and gave him a look that showed he understood.
Lin Shan scratched his head awkwardly, indicating that he couldn't understand his brother's look.
"Yes, this is my savior."
Gu Wanxing's words immediately resolved Lin Shan's doubts.
"Oh? That's great. Brother Zheng is the one who said he wants to cooperate with us. Why don't you sit down and talk?"
If she was an acquaintance, then it would be easy to discuss. He actually doubted the truthfulness of the woman's words at first. After all, she was dressed in ordinary clothes...
The hotel has indeed been in dire need of money recently. Many small restaurants have opened in the town recently, and business has slowed down a lot. If it does not make rectifications and develop in the city, it will be difficult for it to gain a foothold in this industry.
Gu Wanxing nodded and looked at Fu Zheng with bright eyes, expecting him to nod in agreement.
Seeing that Fu Zheng hadn't spoken a word, she wondered if he didn't want to cooperate. After all, her abilities were nothing in front of this real boss.
Just when she was about to say forget it, Fu Zheng said, "Okay."
The man's voice was cold and steady, making him sound very reliable.
Gu Wanxing regained her confidence and smiled brightly: "Okay, let's sit down and talk. I just ordered the food."
"Come on, come on, Brother Zheng, didn't you say you didn't eat breakfast? It's a good opportunity to have a bite first."
Lin Shan joked carelessly.
Fu Zheng glared at his brother with some disgust, but said nothing.
Gu Wanxing sighed in his heart, the boss is really cold. He didn’t notice it when he saw him on TV before, but after getting to know him, he found that he is a person with a very cold personality.
Never say unnecessary nonsense.
After the three of them sat down, the dishes came up soon, and Gu Wanxing also intuitively felt the waiter's somewhat embarrassed expression.
It turns out that the portion is really big, and the sauerkraut and blood sausage is actually served in a bowl.
The shredded potatoes were also a big plate, and they were sticking out.
As for the dish of stir-fried pork with green onions, there was more meat than green onions, and the plate was overflowing.
The rice was served in modern noodle bowls.
When she saw the rice, Gu Wanxing pulled the corners of her mouth embarrassedly, wondering if people would think she was a glutton.
Lin Shan was a man who could read people's expressions, so he quickly tried to smooth things over with a smile: "Well, we have a lot of food here, right? Why don't you try it and see how it tastes?"
Gu Wanxing nodded calmly: "Okay." Then he picked up a piece of shredded potatoes with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
"Well, it's okay. It would taste better if the dish was stir-fried with garlic."
"Garlic cloves?" Lin Shan asked in confusion.
"Yes, mince the garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. It will taste much better than it does now. You can also use dried chilies and pour vinegar directly on the side of the pot before taking them out of the pot. The taste will be even better. Of course, this dish can also be made by shredding carrots and mixing them with some shredded green peppers to make a vegetarian stir-fry. This will give it a different flavor."
In her previous life, for Zhao Chao, she specially enrolled in a cooking class and learned cuisines from several provinces. She was not proficient in all Sichuan and Shandong cuisines, but she was more than capable of making ten dishes.
Hot and sour potato shreds are naturally the most delicious Shandong cuisine. Northeastern cuisine, for example, rarely uses too much vinegar, but a little bit of vinegar in this dish will make the taste wrong.
Seeing that she spoke clearly, there was finally a hint of difference in Fu Zheng's calm eyes.
