"Tell me your concerns, you can discuss them with me."
Gu Shi's firm words gave Lin Qingyu confidence, and she pursed her lips and said.
"What I fear most is ruining my own reputation! Do you understand what I mean?"
Gu Shi nodded and said, "I know what you mean. Actually, this situation is very common. No matter which restaurant it is, as long as it has a branch, it will be criticized."
Gu Jue wiggled around happily, so Gu Shi simply picked her up and sat her on the stone table.
He continued, "No matter what, the taste of a restaurant branch can never be as good as the original."
Lin Qingyu nodded; she strongly agreed with this viewpoint.
"First and foremost, it's the chefs. Even if two chefs learn from the same master, they will produce different flavors."
Lin Qingyu nodded frantically again, yes, yes, that's exactly what she meant.
"Secondly, there's the issue of personnel. Different waiters give people different feelings."
No wonder Gu Shi can open so many factories; he's incredibly smart, and every word he says hits the nail on the head for Lin Qingyu.
Finally, Gu Shi concluded, "Moreover, if we open a branch now, not to mention the rent, there are all sorts of tables, chairs, benches, woks, stoves, and so on that will cost money."
"If we invest the money and the branch doesn't open, we'll lose money!"
That's what you think, isn't it!
Lin Qingyu nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes, what you said is exactly what I was thinking!"
Gu Shi smiled and said, "Isn't doing all this a gamble? A gamble that your shop will do well, just like when you opened this restaurant."
These words were a wake-up call for Lin Qingyu, and she couldn't help but recall why she had opened the restaurant in the first place...
"To make money!"
She almost forgot that she thought she was such a great person, but in the end, she did this just for money.
"Hahaha!"
Gu Shi was amused by her appearance. He knew that Lin Qingyu had always liked money, but he didn't expect her to like it this much!
As the two were chatting and laughing, Zhou Jiahui walked in again, carrying several plates of food.
"Boss! Boss! This is freshly cooked by Chef Zhang, please have a taste!"
She was a little embarrassed, because these new dishes had to be personally tested by the owner before they could be sold.
Their actions were against the rules, which is why Lin Qingyu was able to tolerate them.
"Come on, let me try this first. I can smell the aroma from far away!"
Lin Qingyu picked up her chopsticks and eagerly took a piece of spicy chicken. This spicy chicken, which was perfect in color, aroma and taste, won Lin Qingyu over as soon as she took a bite.
This was the first time she had ever tasted such delicious food, especially the chili peppers—they were absolutely amazing!
Gu Shi watched Lin Qingyu from the side, his face full of doting smiles.
"Did Chef Zhang develop this recipe himself? It's so delicious!"
Lin Qingyu is the kind of person who loves spicy food. Even if it makes her feel hot and her throat hurts, she still has to eat spicy food.
Zhou Jiahui quickly explained, "Yes, yes! Master Zhang invented this chili pepper himself. After everyone had a hot meal with it, they voted to sell it."
Lin Qingyu ate while gesturing for Zhou Jiahui to continue talking, thoroughly enjoying her meal.
Zhou Jiahui then recounted the whole story, afraid that Lin Qingyu would be angry, and emphasized that it was decided by a vote of everyone.
Lin Qingyu's mind wasn't on that at all. She just wanted the food to taste good and for people to like it when it was sold.
"I don't care what you do, as long as it benefits the restaurant, you can do it."
"But if you do something wrong, don't worry too much. As long as it's something I can handle, it's not a crime like murder or arson, so it's all minor issues!"
Lin Qingyu's words immediately gave everyone in the restaurant a sense of security.
Zhou Jiahui was so happy she almost jumped for joy, and she went over and hugged Lin Qingyu.
"Boss lady, you're so kind! You're the best boss lady in the whole world!"
Suddenly, the curtain at the back door was lifted.
Everyone's gaze shifted to that direction, and they saw a fair-skinned boy walk in.
Closely following behind were boys of similar stature, their skin tanned from the sun.
It's Lin Weidong and Gu Xichao!
"Weidong! Xiaobao! Why are you two back together?"
Lin Qingyu was somewhat surprised, and it had been a long time since she had seen these two people.
"Uncle, Aunt!"
"Sister, brother-in-law!"
Both children were smiling brightly. Lin Weidong walked over first and immediately spotted his little niece.
"Little Bei! Look what delicious food your uncle brought you!"
Lin Weidong likes Gu Jue very much, and Gu Xichao likes her very much too.
The two eagerly took out the things they had brought back, including food and toys. Gu Xichao even bought two floral dresses.
"Auntie, I bought this at the beach when I went with my master. It's so pretty!"
Gu Xichao couldn't wait to show Lin Qingyu the floral dresses, one with small floral prints and the other in a solid color, both very stylish.
"Thank you so much, you've gone to so much trouble!"
Lin Qingyu took the dress; she liked it very much too.
Lin Weidong was not to be outdone, so he took out the toys he had bought.
"Little Bei, look, your uncle bought this for you. Do you like it?"
It's clear that a one-year-old child prefers toys.
This was a wind-up frog. Lin Weidong twisted it a few times and then put it on the ground.
The little frog hopped around, making Gu Jue laugh non-stop.
"Hahaha! Jump! Jump!"
The two young men squatted down and started teasing Gu Jue; they both really liked the little girl.
Lin Qingyu and Gu Shi were able to rest for a bit, and the two sat down to discuss what to eat that evening.
"How about we eat at a restaurant? We can bring Mom over, Aunt Zhang over too, and oh, Dajun too. Let's all have a meal together!"
Lin Qingyu followed Gu Shidao, since everything was readily available here, and it was a good opportunity for everyone to try this spicy chicken.
As Zhou Jiahui watched the two older children playing with the younger ones, she couldn't help but think of the boss who had been pursuing her.
"Jiahui!"
"ah?"
"What are you thinking about? I called you and you didn't hear me!"
Lin Qingyu called her several times, and it took a long time to wake her from her daydream.
"Boss lady, your family has such a great relationship, I really envy you!"
"Don't interrupt. Your family is quite friendly. Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to find Master Zhang first."
Lin Qingyu smiled and shook her head, wondering what Zhou Jiahui was thinking.
She went to the kitchen, intending to discuss it with Zhang Chao.
"Master Zhang, is Master Zhang here?"
Everyone was cleaning up when they saw Lin Qingyu walk in, and none of them dared to speak.
Zhang Chao was also tidying up his stove.
