Chapter 296: Emotional entanglements with elders in memory
An Feng had just said this casually to fit in with the mood, but... unexpectedly, after she said this, Xia Qingfeng immediately looked like she wanted to cry but couldn't.
She looked very pitiful, as if she was touched by An Feng's sudden protection.
Seeing him like this, An Feng fell silent...
The Xia Qingfeng in my memory is not like this.
He was a proud and a little bit arrogant boy, he had the backbone of a young man who would never bow his head.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for such a quarrel to occur with Xia’s parents.
But, people seem to change suddenly...
Seeing him humbly testing his preferences and making changes to cater to him, An Feng felt sad.
It seems that I really need to find an opportunity to talk to him.
"Hey, what are you all standing for? Sit down quickly. The food will be served soon. I just went to urge them."
Just at this moment, Li Lin pushed open the door and walked in. His eyes seemed a little red, but his whole spirit seemed very excited.
Everyone was confused by his unable to contain his excitement.
"Why are you so happy?" Finally, someone couldn't help it and asked.
"Ah~ Nothing much... I'm just really happy to see everyone supporting me so much!"
When saying this, Li Lin's expression was so sincere that everyone felt embarrassed to laugh at him.
After a few simple jokes, everyone sat down and the food was served soon.
There are more than a dozen people having dinner together today, almost all of them are the main actors of the crew.
We are all young people of similar age, so it is very relaxing to eat together without so many twists and turns.
In the first ten minutes after the dishes were served, almost no one spoke; everyone just kept eating.
It was obvious that everyone was starving and even socializing was temporarily put aside.
"Wow, Li Lin, this restaurant you found is delicious!"
Hearing this, Li Lin smiled and said modestly: "It's okay, it's okay. If you like it, eat more! Today is my treat, everyone, eat as much as you want!"
Li Lin, who had been extremely excited the whole day, was very pleased with the compliment.
After all, it’s hard for him to say... this restaurant is owned by him.
Actually...he was not a good student since he was young, but he liked cooking very much.
In addition, his family has been engaged in the catering industry for hundreds of years. With this family tradition, Li Lin hopes even more that he can start his own business and create his own catering brand.
At first, when he proposed this idea, almost no one in the family agreed.
Their family's business is related to this, and it is well-known throughout the country for its large scale.
What is the difference between having the energy to start your own business and directly taking over the family business and then innovating?
Although what he said was true, Li Lin just didn't want to do that.
He wanted to have an absolutely free space for development. He could merge them after he had established himself, but he could not start from Li's Restaurant.
A century-old enterprise involves too many things, and it is not something that a newcomer like him can make changes at will.
He was very confident in his abilities and had the time to gain experience in the Li family until everyone was willing to listen to him... and then develop in the direction he wanted.
That would waste a lot of time.
As for the family business, when he has his own achievements, he will not be questioned when he returns. Isn't this a win-win solution?
But the people at home just don’t understand this.
They firmly believed that Li Lin was the heir of this generation of the Li family, and if he went out and set up another business, it would be a slap in the face of the Li family.
For the sake of face, they seized all the liquid funds in Li Lin's hands and cut off his share dividends, just to see what trouble he could make without money.
Just when Li Lin was in despair and felt that he might have to delay his dream for a few more years, his uncle suddenly called him.
Overnight, all the obstacles in front of Li Lin disappeared, and he even received a huge sum of money transferred from his uncle.
Without saying much, he just said, "Li Lin, I believe in you. Just do whatever you want to do. Don't leave any regrets in your youth."
Because of this encouraging word, Li Lin persisted for many years, and now, he has turned his restaurant into a national chain.
The route he took was completely different from that of Li's restaurant. Li's restaurant had a simple and upper-class style. People who came in and out were either rich or noble, and their consumption also belonged to a relatively high class.
Zhu Ying's restaurant, which was opened by Li Lin himself, serves home-cooked dishes, and also features several exclusive dishes that Li Lin himself developed, so it quickly became well-known.
The affordable route expanded the customer base and made his restaurant business even more popular. Coupled with Li Lin's flexible marketing skills, the restaurant soon became a well-known Internet celebrity restaurant.
And today, Li Lin had a plan for setting the dinner venue here.
Let these guys try out your store, and then you can get some free publicity!
As for why he was so sure that their publicity would be effective, we have to mention how he got the role of the leading male role.
This branch of the film and television city was newly opened, and Li Lin came all the way here to take a look at it in person. After being in and out of here for a long time, his outstanding appearance naturally attracted attention.
He was approached by all kinds of people, all wanting him to play roles.
Faced with such a request, Li Lin was both amused and confused.
Being a star was not his dream, he just came to see if the preparations for the branch had been completed, but he was booked for so many days.
Just when he was about to pack his bags and leave impatiently because of these people's nagging, he suddenly saw a person...
Although the news about that period on the Internet was quickly suppressed, for someone who has been paying close attention to Xu Zhengqing's every move since he can remember, it is naturally impossible to miss it.
The news about the Xu family was actually kept quite well secret, and An Feng has not appeared in this circle yet, so everyone treated the news as gossip.
But Li Lin is different...
Ever since he could remember, he often heard his mother whispering in his ear how disgusting the little Xu Zhengqing in the Xu family was.
Li Lin is a very close friend of An Feng’s mother. They have been playing together since they were young and their relationship is so good that they can be like real sisters.
Because An Feng's mother often played with Li Lin's mother since childhood, she also got to know Li Lin's mother's brother, who is Li Lin's uncle.
Accompanied by their childhood sweethearts, they secretly fell in love and were about to become a fairy-tale couple that everyone envied.
Li Lin's mother was also happy that her best friend was going to become her sister-in-law.
