Chapter 550: What are you laughing at?
Hu Yuan and Jiang Zhenping had met several times in public, but they were just acquaintances and had no other in-depth contact in private.
Moreover, the business areas involved by the two companies have almost no overlap.
In terms of company size, Jiang Zhenping's business empire is extremely large, spanning several industries. In comparison, Hu Yuan's catering company seems a little inferior to it.
Countless speculations flashed through Hu Yuan's mind.
Could it be that Jiang Zhenping saw the potential of the catering industry and planned to enter this field, so he gave me a hint in advance?
Or maybe the other party is planning to take over his catering company, and this call is some kind of hint?
The business world is like a battlefield, anything can happen.
Hu Yuan did not dwell on these speculations for too long. He quickly sorted out several possible situations in his mind and came up with some responses in a very short time. Then he took a deep breath and answered the phone.
"Good evening, Mr. Jiang. It's so late, why are you calling me..."
Hu Yuan tried hard to sound relaxed, but he was already extremely nervous and ready to deal with any possible situation at any time.
"Mr. Hu, I'm sorry to bother you so late."
Jiang Zhenping's smiling voice came from the other end of the phone, "I mainly want to ask you something."
Ask something?
Hu Yuan's heart suddenly tightened. Could it be that Jiang Zhenping really wanted to get involved in the catering industry?
Is this call a friendly reminder or an ultimatum with some kind of deterrent effect?
Hu Yuan really couldn't think of anything that Jiang Zhenping's company, with its size and resources, would need to consult him about.
Perhaps the other party has already investigated the details of his company through various channels.
"Please go ahead."
Hu Yuan's forehead was slightly sweaty, but his years of experience allowed him to maintain a polite tone. He decided to remain unchanged for now and see what the other party wanted to ask.
"It's not a big deal. I just want to confirm something with you, Mr. Hu."
Jiang Zhenping didn't seem to notice Hu Yuan's nervousness and told him the purpose of the call.
"Do you know a local chef named Su?"
"A local chef named Su?"
Hu Yuan was slightly stunned. The surname Su was not uncommon. There were several chefs with the surname Su in his catering company.
However, what made Jiang Zhenping call to inquire was that the figure of Su Chen subconsciously flashed through his mind.
Jiang Zhenping on the other end of the phone seemed to ask someone around him something, and then said, "The name should be Su Chen."
It’s Boss Su!
Hu Yuan felt a little complicated, feeling both expected and unexpected.
Has even Jiang Zhenping heard of Boss Su's name?
How did these two people know each other? It is unlikely that someone of Jiang Zhenping's status would patronize street vendors.
Hu Yuan learned from the fan club that Su Chen was selling pet food at the entrance of the flower and bird market this week, but he could hardly imagine Jiang Zhenping appearing in such a place to buy food.
"I do know him."
After a brief thought, Hu Yuan felt there was no need to deny it.
"Do you really know him?"
Jiang Zhenping couldn't help but mutter, then immediately asked, "Then I heard that you wanted to invest tens of millions in Master Su to open a restaurant, but he refused. Is this also true?"
"Yeah, it's true."
Hu Yuan took a deep breath, feeling helpless.
If he hadn't considered the other person's status, he would probably have been unable to resist cursing at this moment.
Everyone in the company knew that not being able to sign Boss Su was his biggest pain, and this was like rubbing salt into the wound.
"What special identity does this person have? Why would he not even look down upon an investment of tens of millions?"
Jiang Zhenping didn't expect that things would be just as his daughter said.
"I don't know how to tell you about Boss Su."
Hu Yuan carefully considered his words and said slowly, "But he does have a more casual style, which is different from the average person."
As he spoke, he took the initiative to ask, "Did you also go to Boss Su's place to buy something to eat?"
"My daughter bought it, it's really delicious."
Jiang Zhenping paused, his tone full of emotion, "I was originally thinking of hiring someone to come to my house to cook full-time, but after hearing what you said, Mr. Hu, it seems there's no hope."
"To be honest, it's rare to eat something so appetizing."
Hu Yuan suddenly felt the same way after hearing these words.
…
On this side, Jiang Zhenping ended the call with Hu Yuan.
As soon as he looked up, he met his daughter's smug expression.
"See, I told you, they wouldn't be interested in our million-dollar annual salary."
Jiang Ruyun seemed to have won a great victory.
There are very few things that can surprise my father, and this time I succeeded in surprising him. It feels so good.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhenping laughed and immediately grasped the crux of the matter. He pointed out the essence of the matter and said, "My daughter, your happiness is unreasonable. After all, if you can't invite Master Su, you won't be able to eat in the future either, right?"
Eh?!
Jiang Ruyun was stunned.
It seems that what dad said was right!
I was so busy proving myself right in front of my father that I ignored this cruel reality.
Although he won this little battle between father and daughter, the result was that he failed to invite Master Su, which was a complete disadvantage!
Jiang Zhenping looked at his daughter's instantly collapsed expression, revealed a sly smile, picked up the steamed bun in front of him, and began to enjoy it leisurely.
Jiang Ruyun looked at her father's expression and couldn't help but said angrily, "You're going too far! I've decided not to talk to you for three hours!"
Jiang Zhenping:!!!
The dinner finally ended with the old father coaxing his daughter.
Jiang Ruyun stood up and left the restaurant. Thinking of the fact that Su Chen's business had closed this week, she felt even more upset.
She never thought that she would be so depressed because she couldn't buy some food.
Fortunately, she still remembered what He Niannian had told her about the existence of Boss Su's fan club.
As long as you join the group, you will be able to get information about Su Chen’s stall in time.
But when Jiang Ruyun thought about being required to take an oath before joining the group, she felt a little embarrassed.
Apart from anything else, the oath looked a bit too childish, and she really couldn't bring herself to read it.
What should I do?
She thought about it, and then an idea came to her mind.
Jiang Ruyun quickly came to the room where the housekeeper Uncle Zhao lived, stood at the door and knocked.
When the housekeeper Uncle Zhao opened the door and saw Jiang Ruyun, a look of confusion appeared on his face.
"Miss, is there anything else you need me to do?"
However, before he could finish his words.
Jiang Ruyun suddenly smiled crookedly and said, "Uncle Zhao, you don't want him to know that my dad eats more than a dog, right?"
