Rebirth 09: A perfect life starting from college.

——Are we really thinking too much?

This thought flashed across my mind just now, but then I thought about it again, this kid is now in the business world, so I was afraid that he would open his mouth to talk nonsense, so he simply continued to lie: "We know everything about you, let's talk about it, you and Lu Xin, What is the relationship between Xi'er, Han Lisha, and Miss Wen?!"

"Mom! Dad! You clearly want to commit a crime, so there is nothing wrong with it!"

Jiang Cheng plausibly said: "Three classmates, one business partner, what else can it matter?"

Seeing that the boy killed him with a single bite, and several people were classmates or friends, Tan Weifen and Jiang Jianhua couldn't find a way out, and they immediately had nothing to do with him.

Although according to a woman's intuition, Tan Weifen still thinks that the relationship between her son and these girls is a bit unusual.

But really can't come up with any real evidence.

Asking is a classmate and friend, what else can I do?

Having a good relationship with girls doesn't seem to be a serious crime.

Therefore, after Jiang Cheng softened the steel with such a pass, Tan Weifen, who was trying to find out why, suddenly felt that she had punched the cotton, and there was nowhere to use it even with all her strength.

"Okay, Mom and Dad, I still have class in the afternoon, so I'll be leaving first."

Thinking that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, Jiang Cheng said something, and then slipped away.

"Hey! You——this kid... oh!"

Looking at the back of her son Yuandun, Tan Weifen couldn't help but sighed helplessly.

Jiang Jianhua beside him patted his wife on the shoulder.

"Okay, okay, my son is getting old, we really can't control him~"

......

"Now we start the roll call."

In the classroom, Wan Wei, the class teacher, started roll call before class as usual.

"Zhao Lei."

"to~"

"Zhong Xi'er."

"Zhong Xi'er...?"

After calling twice but getting no response, Wan Wei raised her head suspiciously and glanced in the direction of the back seat.

His brows immediately frowned.

"Why is Zhong Xi'er not here today? Did she ask for leave from the department or something? Does anyone know?"

"I do not know..."

Hearing Wan Wei's inquiry, the students in Class [-] also looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing why.

"Zhong Xi'er hasn't come for three days, why did she go?"

"Can someone explain it, if no one says I'm going to start spreading rumors~"

"—Oh, she must have disappeared, right?!"

"Damn, are you starting to spread rumors!! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Sister Wei!"

Just when everyone was confused, in the end Zhong Xier's best friend Wang Yuan raised her hand and said, "Xi'er seems to have gone home."

"go home?"

Wan Wei was quite surprised when she heard the words: "She went home at this time? Why didn't she ask me for leave?"

"I don't know about that..." Wang Yuan said helplessly, "I saw her packing her luggage, and I asked her why she was in such a hurry, but she didn't tell me... "

"Is that so... well, I'll contact her family."

Wan Wei nodded helplessly.

"Okay, students, now we start class..."

......

"Jiang Cheng..."

Glancing at Wan Wei who was writing on the blackboard, Lu Xin who was sitting in the last row lightly poked Jiang Cheng who was lying on the table to catch up on sleep, and asked in a low voice, "Are you awake?"

"Um..."

Jiang Cheng waved his hand and answered.

Lu Xin said softly, "Did I tell you about Xi'er's return home?"

"No." Jiang Cheng, who was lying on the table, said lazily and indifferently: "How could she tell me about her affairs?"

"Yes... is it..."

Hearing this, Lu Xin frowned slightly, and lowered his head slightly.

——Jiang Cheng has always been like this, his attitude towards Zhong Xi'er is always lukewarm and indifferent.

"Has she ever told you anything before?"

Just when the girl was about to keep silent, Jiang Cheng, who had been lying on the table and looking out the window, suddenly spoke slowly.

"Before she goes back."

"I asked some things about sister Wen."

As he said that, Lu Xin whispered to Jiang Cheng what he had said to Zhong Xi'er before.

"She's going to take Wen Jie's call? And she said she needs her help?"

After listening to Lu Xin's words, Jiang Cheng felt a little baffled.

In his impression, Zhong Xi'er and Wen Jie, let alone being familiar with each other, seemed to have never met a few times at all, so it can be said that they had no intersection at all.

What will she do that needs Wen Jie's help?

Chapter 500 The Dilemma of Uncle Zhong’s Family

While he was wondering, the phone in his pocket vibrated.

I took it out and saw that it was actually Wen Jie calling.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

Because Wen Jie is usually very careful, she would never call during her school hours.

Is there something important?

Jiang Cheng stood up quietly, stooped and sneaked out the back door.

Walked out of the classroom and connected the phone.

'Hi, it's me. ''Jiang Cheng, is it convenient now?There is something I want to report to you. 'Wen Jie's steady voice came from the receiver.

'It's okay, you say. ''Zhong Xi'er is your classmate, right? ''That's right, what's wrong? ''She called me last night. ''last night?What did you say? ''I want our company to invest in her parents' hotpot restaurant. ''What? Jiang Cheng was quite surprised by Wen Jie's words.

——Zhong Xi'er approached Wen Jie to seek investment.

Frowning and thinking, something suddenly came to mind.

During the Chinese New Year, Uncle Zhong did tell himself that he might need his help in the future.

At the time Jiang Cheng thought it was just a casual joke, but now that he thinks about it, it doesn't seem to be the case.

Zhong Xi'er's family must have encountered some difficulties.

'Jiang Cheng?are you listening When he was in a daze, the gentle voice from the phone broke Jiang Cheng's thoughts.

'you say. ''According to Zhong Xi'er's words, I asked my friend from Jincheng to investigate the specific situation this morning. "Wen Jie said in a calm tone: "At present, their hot pot restaurant is a chain. At present, they have encountered relatively strong competitors in the local area, and they have been suppressed by various methods. Something went wrong. ''Of course, this amount of money is not worth mentioning to our company. ''But after all, Zhong Xi'er is your friend, so I still want to ask for your opinion first. ''I see. Jiang Cheng said softly: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I will handle it." ''OK. After hanging up the phone, Jiang Cheng patted his forehead and let out a sigh of relief.

Although Wen Jie said it relatively simply, under the current situation, even Zhong Xi'er hurried home.

And he even took the initiative to ask an unfamiliar friend like Wen Jie for help.

It is estimated that Uncle Zhong's current situation may not be much better.

Jiang Cheng will definitely help him.

......

Jincheng, Shuangliu Airport.

'Hello, Mom. Jiang Cheng, who had just walked out of the terminal, connected the phone.

'I'm not in Xijing now, um, I'm on a business trip. ''Yeah, it's really far away, so don't worry about it, I had a good time in Xijing with my dad~ I'm dead. After answering his mother's call, Jiang Cheng put the phone back and walked into the car that had been waiting for a long time.

"Mr. Jiang, here are all the information about the hot pot restaurant."

The security guard sitting in the co-pilot handed over a few pages of documents.

"Wei Boxiang...Wu Nan..."

After softly reading the two names on the document, the expression on the boy's face became indifferent.

Flipping through these sorted-out documents one by one, he finally had a detailed understanding of the current situation.

It turns out that the reason why Uncle Zhong's hot pot restaurant is in trouble is still inseparable from his apprentice, Wei Boxiang and his group.

From this point of view, during the Chinese New Year, they asked to take 40% of the turnover of Uncle Zhong's hot pot chain restaurant as a request. I am afraid it is just an excuse.

According to the description above, Wei Boxiang and others were secretly recruited by Wu Nan, the owner of Xiaolongmen Hotpot Chain, another newly emerging chain hotpot brand in Jincheng.

As for now, Wei Boxiang has become the vice president of Xiaolongmen Group.

Not only did he turn against Zhong Yuanchao, the mentor who brought him out with his own hands, but he also revealed to him the secret recipe that he taught without any secrets.

Xiaolongmen, who got the secret recipe, immediately used the same taste of the pot bottom as Uncle Zhong's, and also started a price war, and the business suddenly boomed.

It even took away many old customers of the original "Chao Ge Hot Pot".

Even so, Wei Boxiang, now the vice president of Xiaolongmen Hot Pot Chain Group, still does not intend to let his master go.

Under his suggestion, he continued to suppress Uncle Zhong's hot pot restaurant overtly and secretly.

From the raw materials in the supply chain to the finished products, there are frequent food hygiene inspections and spot checks on the discharge of oily fume and kitchen waste on the surface, as well as sending people to the store to make trouble in private.

Poor Uncle Zhong is just a dutiful businessman, and he couldn't cope with such nonsense from the other party.

The business of the four chain stores has plummeted, and the business is poor and there are fewer customers, and the financial situation of the entire company is in trouble.

The business is damaged and the finances are in trouble. It becomes more and more difficult to guarantee the service quality and the freshness of ingredients in each store. There are fewer and fewer customers.

In the current situation, if the financial gap cannot be resolved, it is estimated that Uncle Zhong may not be able to survive this month.

It's no wonder that Zhong Xi'er, who knew the situation at home, called Wen Jie and asked for her help, hoping to get investment from Qin Feng Capital.

Now, since Jiang Cheng knows about this, he will definitely not sit idly by.

The current situation is to solve the problem of Uncle Zhong's capital flow first, which is Jiang Cheng's strength.

For him, the funds needed by the hotpot chain store are just a drop in the bucket.

——As for Xiaolongmen hot pot as the opponent, Jiang Cheng also knows something.

In the previous life, this hot pot chain brand also started from Jincheng, and later the chain opened all over the country, becoming a large group.

Although it is slightly inferior to Haidilao in terms of reputation, it can be regarded as a first-line hot pot chain brand in China.

Judging from the current information, Xiaolongmen Hot Pot is now invested by a local capital company in Jincheng. It has sufficient funds and is in the stage of rapidly expanding its local market share.

Waiting for the next step, it should be marketing enthusiasm, word-of-mouth, creating an online celebrity design, opening up nationwide franchises at one go, and then raising funds to start capital harvesting.

This set of operating methods can be said to be a classic routine for capital to operate catering brands.

Later, countless online celebrity chain franchise brands, whether it is milk tea, hot pot, snacks, etc., follow this routine. To be honest, these guys have no intention of doing catering at all. Don't care about anything at all.

It's just that the frantic harvesting of franchisees' leeks has been tried and tested.

Chapter 501 Gambling Agreement

At sunset, Jiang Cheng got out of the car and walked to the main store of 'Chaoge Hot Pot' on Zongfu Road.

At this time, the bustling Zongfu Road was bustling with people coming and going, and the lights were brightly lit.
