Aunt Xue is very busy [Love is deep and rainy]

Lu Mengping's recent childhood has been quite comfortable. The school her mother chose for her is much better than she imagined.

To be honest, although her school in junior high school also taught English, it did not regard English as a key language subject like the missionary schools opened by foreigners, so although she initially said she wanted to go to Ruping’s Chinese and Western Girls’ Middle School, but If she really started bilingual teaching in Chinese and English as soon as she entered school, or simply taught in pure English, she might really not be able to adapt.

The patriotic girls' high school chosen by her mother was different.

Just like what my mother said at the beginning, the teaching mode of this patriotic girls' high school combines the best parts of Eastern and Western cultures. It neither blindly rejects foreign languages, nor single-mindedly emphasizes Chinese culture, but is inclusive. , learn from each other.

After coming here for less than a week, Lu Mengping really fell in love with this school.

In particular, her favorite piano and organ lessons are offered here.

In the first week of enrollment, everyone was almost adapting to the environment and teaching mode of the new school. Now, one week after the start of the school year, it was time for everyone to sign up for elective courses. Naturally, Lu Mengping reported the piano and organ courses immediately. went up.

She had read the book that her mother gave her many times before school started. Although there were still some things she didn't understand, after all, no matter how good the theory was, it couldn't compare to the actual operation, so Lu Mengping decided to wait. When formally taking piano and organ lessons, ask the teacher carefully about what you don't understand.

The Patriotic Girls' High School was established not long ago, but because its principal is a senior official of the Ministry of Education, and the school's educational philosophy is supported by a large number of patriotic scholars, many well-known scholars volunteered to teach at the school.

Correspondingly, because it is a private girls' school, the threshold of this school is relatively high.

Although the tuition fees are not as high as the missionary schools like Chinese and Western Girls' High Schools, it is not affordable for ordinary people. Moreover, this school does not enroll many students every year, and considers all aspects of students, so I study here Most of the girls here have a good family background.

Under her mother's advice, although Lu Mengping's domineering temperament has been restrained a lot, she is not as gentle as Ruping and can get along with anyone. Her temperament is relatively more active and more Be more public, and the children of the Lu family have a kind of deep pride in their bones. As a result, after the first week of school, there are not many girls who get close to Lu Mengping.

Among them, the classmate Lu Mengping likes the most is a girl named Mu Wanqing.

Although I don't know who Mu Wanqing's family is from, this girl's personality is a bit like Lu Mengping's, both are cheerful and lively, and both like music, so the two girls have been sticking together all day long after school started. .

All in all, everything about the new school made Lu Mengping very satisfied. If there was a fly in the ointment, it might be that the Patriotic Girls’ High School was too far away from home, almost spanning half of Shanghai, so Lu Mengping would go to and from school every day. Need to wait for the car at home to pick up and drop off.

The Lu family's car is basically driven by Lu Erhao now, because the entire Lu family is now the only one who is busy outside all day long.

When Mr. Lu occasionally went out to use the car, he would greet Er Hao one day in advance, so that the next day, Er Hao would choose another way to travel and leave the car at home.

And if the rest of the family doesn't need a car, Lu Erhao will take on the task of taking Mengping to and from school in the morning and evening.

After sending Mengping off in the morning, he can drop by the newspaper office or mfc, and in the evening, he can pick Mengping home, have dinner with his mother, and then go to Shanghai, so Lu Erhao didn't think it was too troublesome.

No one at home used the car today, so Lu Erhao naturally drove the car out.

After delivering the manuscript to the newspaper office in the morning, Lu Erhao drove to MFC to check the situation in the store.

It has been more than a week since the opening of MFC, and the debate on "Western fast food and Western food" in the newspapers has also entered a heated stage. Later, this fire has spread all the way to the dispute between Chinese and Western food, and a large number of xenophobia People and many aspiring patriots are pinching the sky and the sky in the dark. MFC, the fuse that first triggered this war of words, has been a hot topic of discussion from its opening to the present through this shareholder style. Sales The amount naturally continued to soar.

Of course, it is not that no one goes to the store to find fault.

In Shanghai at the present stage, there are all kinds of people from all walks of life, and there are naturally various reasons for finding fault.

Among them, there are unreasonable ones, saying that MFC, as a restaurant, would ask customers to pay before serving the dishes, which is completely disrespectful, which is really a disgrace to the catering industry.

For this kind of person, the guests who have been waiting in a long line behind to pay basically can drown him with their saliva——

Those who really have money to eat will not care about paying first, but will find it fresh and feel that this restaurant is all kinds of high-end.

Only those who want to eat and drink for free and become overlords would be so preoccupied with the issue of paying first!

So this kind of luck, who wanted to come here for a meal, naturally humiliated themselves and rolled away in despair.

There are also other colleagues who are dissatisfied with the popularity of MFC, and hire three or five small hooligans, wanting to enter the store to beat, smash, loot and burn.

Regarding this situation, Lu Erhao had taken precautions early on.

Is it true that he gave up 10% of the shares to Peng Kai just to make him a mascot to fool people?

The little son of the deputy mayor's family, although he is not as awesome as his father's smiling face tiger, but because he was born in that kind of family, this kid has been a dandy since he was a child, and he dares to dump anyone who makes him unhappy Face, if you get impatient, let the bodyguards rush up and beat him to death, or you will be half disabled if you don't die, so that you will not dare to yell at the young master in your life.

So those who look ruffian and don't look like a good person, from the moment they enter the door of MFC, they are watched by the bodyguards left by Peng Kai to watch the store. Whoever dares to be the first to attack, These bodyguards will let them go and never return.

After all, when Peng Kai saw the sales of mfc in the first three days, he realized that this store is just an old hen that can lay golden eggs. That is the rhythm of death.

So this kind of people who bought murderers and hired people to make trouble because of pink eye disease were also suppressed by Peng Kai's thunderous means in the past few days.

Just look at the street opposite the Conservatory of Music, and you will know how many shops have been vacated recently.

However, this type is only a relatively low-level method.

Those who have been getting close to the MFC chefs recently, and have racked their brains to know where the ingredients of the MFC recipes come from, obviously have a long-term mind.

After all, the recent popularity of mfc is obvious to all.

Those who are interested are starting to think about whether to follow suit and open a similar restaurant; but more people are still waiting to see, because MFC is so popular suddenly, almost all of it depends on the inexplicable incident in the newspaper The catering war that earned everyone red-faced and red-faced, makes people have to feel the good luck of MFC.

But at the same time, they are also worried that once the debate subsides, whether MFC will be as hot as it is now.

Therefore, at this stage, the vast majority of people are still on the sidelines regarding the prospects of the Western-style fast food industry.

As for Lu Erhao, what they need is to be the first to obtain MFC's dominance in the western fast food industry during their wait-and-see stage.

Yes, Lu Erhao and Wang Xueqin never expected that there would be only one Western-style fast food like MFC in Shanghai from the very beginning.

For those business opportunities that can make huge profits, most businessmen's sense of smell is more sensitive than the keenest hunting dog.

So once they find out in the future that this is indeed an industry that can bring huge profits, it will be a matter of time before someone comes to take a share.

Lu Erhao and Wang Xueqin had already foreseen this situation when they decided to do the mfc project.

It's just that the first person who can taste the deliciousness of crabs is always the first person who has the courage to eat crabs.

This is the most convincing proof that KFC and McDonald's have a large market share in the Western-style fast food industry in the world after a hundred years.

No matter how many Western-style fast food restaurants opened later with reference to the business models of these two, in people's preconceived impressions, most of them are the ones they like the most and visit most often.

What Lu Erhao and Wang Xueqin want to grab now is such a preconceived opportunity.

When those businessmen decide to join this industry after watching, they will find that no matter how they try to imitate MFC's business model and food, in the eyes of customers, their shop will always be a pirated knockoff In any case, it will not exceed the level of surprises brought to people when mfc opened.

After routinely inspecting the store every day, Lu Erhao went to read the weekly profit report submitted by Cao Xiangdong.

In fact, the focus of Cao Xiangdong's recent work is no longer on the trivial matters of MFC itself. Recently, he is teaching all the management methods of MFC to his son Cao Sicheng one by one.

This is also what Lu Erhao told him before MFC opened.

Cao Sicheng is Cao Xiangdong's only son, a senior student at Fudan University, and Lu Erhao's junior.

From the very beginning, Lu Erhao didn't intend to only manage the MFC industry, so he turned his attention to Cao Xiangdong's son Cao Sicheng early in the morning.

Cao Sicheng is 22 years old this year, one year younger than Lu Erhao, and like Cao Xiangdong, he looks very honest.

With Peng Kai, the big Buddha sitting in front, and Lu Erhao and Cao Xiangdong behind, there was basically no objection to whether Cao Sicheng was qualified for the position of MFC store manager.

Anyway, even if he takes over, Cao Xiangdong will still be the manager of this store, and currently under Lu Erhao, only the Cao family is the most trustworthy, within the scope of possibility, he will naturally give full play to the human resources of the Cao family. For both of them, it is a matter of mutual benefit.

Because Cao Sicheng is still young, there is no rush for this matter, just let him learn it slowly.

When Lu Erhao finished his work, it was time for him to pick up Mengping from school.

But today, before he left MFC, there was a little commotion at the cash register in the store.

As a manager, Lu Erhao naturally wanted to go and have a look.

Although I heard Cao Xiangdong say a lot about people coming to make trouble recently, but because Lu Erhao didn't spend much time in the store, he really didn't encounter it once.

Originally, he thought that the person he met this time was the kind of free food that Cao Xiangdong said, but unexpectedly, when he entered the crowd center, he found that the person involved turned out to be a rather quiet-looking girl.

With just one glance, Lu Erhao knew that this girl was not someone who couldn't afford the money, because whether it was from her clothes or her temperament, it fully showed one thing - this girl's family was not short of money.

Therefore, after a few seconds of confusion, Lu Erhao decisively asked the cashier what happened.

The cashiers of MFC are all college students recruited from various universities.

Like the kfc of later generations, mfc's work settlement method is also based on the hour. The salary of 30 cents an hour is already a sky-high price for many college students from poor families. After all, as long as they work eight hours a day, that is one yuan and six. For 48 days a month, that's [-] yuan, which is like pie in the sky for these college students, which is more than what they can earn by working in a trading house after graduation.

However, because they still have classes in college, there are very few people who can work eight hours a day.

But even so, when mfc was recruiting, its popularity was once amazing.

When Lu Erhao asked the cashier what was going on, although he didn't know who Lu Erhao was, the students who worked here knew that Lu Erhao would go in and out of Manager Cao's office every day. People who can afford it are like Peng Kai, the owner of this store.

So the cashier quickly told Lu Erhao the ins and outs of the matter.

In fact, this matter is easy to say.

It's nothing more than the lady in front of the cashier, after ordering the meal, she suddenly found that she didn't bring her wallet.It stands to reason that when encountering such a thing, the lady can just refund the order and leave, but the cashier doesn’t know why, the lady seems to want to buy MFC things very much, so she stalemate at the cashier for a while up.

After listening to the cashier, Lu Erhao glanced at the girl who was standing in front of the cashier with a blushing face. He didn't have any thoughts in his heart. He asked the cashier how much the lady ordered, and then helped the girl. The lady paid the money.

After the staff packed all the things the lady asked for in the special paper bag of MFC, Lu Erhao handed the paper bag to the lady.

Peace is the most important thing in business, and judging by the appearance of this lady, it is estimated that she really forgot to bring her wallet. Lu Erhao does not mind doing her a small favor, and maybe he can attract a repeat customer in the future.

The lady who looked very quiet did not express her gratitude to Lu Erhao in a low voice until this moment.

She seemed very embarrassed, but she was not shy. After taking the paper bag Lu Erhao handed over, she explained to Lu Erhao in a low voice the reason why she did such a disrespectful thing just now.

"Actually, today is my sister's birthday. She has always said that she wants to try the food from this store, but our father never allows us to eat outside food, so I sneaked out today and wanted to buy it for her. I went back soon. When I went out, I brought my wallet, but I didn’t know what happened, but when I paid, I found out that the wallet was gone.”

After saying this, she thanked Lu Erhao again.

Lu Erhao nodded, but didn't pay much attention.

Looking at the watch below, he found that the time to pick up Mengping had been somewhat delayed. After saying goodbye to the lady politely, Lu Erhao went to the parking lot behind the MFC and drove.

The lady holding the paper bag subconsciously glanced at the clock hanging on the wall of MFC after Lu Erhao left, and walked out of the store quickly after realizing that the time was a bit late.

Lu Erhao found that on the way to take Mengping home today, there seemed to be a lot of unexpected situations.

Just as he got into the car, before driving two streets away, he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure out of the corner of his eyes, but that figure was appearing in a place that should never have appeared.

Seeing the somewhat embarrassed figure, Lu Erhao lowered his head and glanced at the watch on his wrist, then cursed in his heart, slammed on the brake, pulled out the key, quickly got out of the car and closed the door, and walked towards the roadside car. He rushed in from the deep alley.

In the gap between the two buildings, the sun barely shines here. The girl in a ladylike long skirt that reaches her ankles is holding the paper bag in her arms tightly, and is struggling to run towards the sunny road at the end of the gap.

Behind her, several ruffians in ragged clothes and yellow teeth were chasing her with grinning faces.

The explosive power of women and men is different after all, not to mention that girls are still holding things in their arms, so naturally they are not as fast as those men.

Seeing the footsteps of those bad guys getting closer, the girl's forehead gradually seeped some tiny beads of sweat. However, seeing the exit that was right in front of her eyes, the girl decided to give it a try.

At this time, the ruffians behind her obviously noticed that they were very close to the exit.

In order to avoid complications, one of them rushed towards the girl. Although the girl noticed it, she barely escaped the worst situation of being thrown by the whole person, but her ankle was firmly grasped by that person.

The force of rushing forward was too great, and her feet were suddenly hooped again. There was almost no time to react. The girl had no choice but to grit her teeth, close her eyes, and prepared herself to fall to the ground.

However, the accident happened again.

The body that fell forward did not touch the cold ground, but his cheek hit a somewhat hard warm object.

The girl was stunned for a moment, and opened her eyes, only to realize that the person close at hand was actually the person who rescued her from the predicament of eating the king's meal in MFC just now.

Lu Erhao was really in a hurry.

But no matter in his previous life or in this life, his mother taught him that he must never turn a blind eye to a woman in danger.

So although he was a little impatient in his heart, he still came over.

Although I don't understand why this girl appeared in such a place, anyone with eyes can see the malice in the eyes of the men behind.

So after Lu Erhao glanced at the girl, he helped her up and prepared to deal with those gangsters.

Obviously, he didn't see the girl's ankle being held by the man lying behind the girl.

But soon, a pig-killing howl attracted everyone's attention.

A wisp of fragrant wind blew in front of my eyes, and the girl who was being shackled, jumped behind Lu Erhao in the blink of an eye, while the man who originally planned to take the girl away while Lu Erhao was unaware, was holding the girl who was about to break her bones. His wrist was writhing in pain.

Lu Erhao and the gangsters: ...

Of course, this is just a brief episode.

Soon, those ruffians who reacted all rushed towards Lu Erhao.

To be honest, although Lu Erhao is a good hand in business, even many old foxes who are in the business world have to say that he is a formidable young man, but in terms of force value, he is not that high.

You can't expect a man who has diligently learned all kinds of knowledge since he was a child to be as defiant as Bruce Lee in terms of force, because most of that kind of man only exists in the domineering and leaky president's essays.

And there used to be bodyguards around to help deal with emergencies, so Lu Erhao really didn't have much experience in fighting.

Fortunately, as long as he is a man, he is born with a kind of aggressive and ruthless nature, so even though he has never fought much in his two lifetimes combined, Lu Erhao still fights with those ruffians with his keen nerves. up and down.

But soon, the gap between professional players and amateur players appeared.

Because he was afraid that his mother would see him fighting with someone after returning home, so Lu Erhao tried his best to protect his face during the whole process, but in this way, his hands and feet were even more restrained.

So when he was suddenly attacked from behind, and the attack was successful, Lu Erhao was immediately pushed into a corner, and he was literally punched a few times.

Fortunately, after he got out of the car just now, he had already arrested a passer-by and told him to call the police. It is estimated that the police will come soon, so although Lu Erhao was temporarily at a disadvantage, he was not very worried.

After fighting for a while, he could tell that these people were not ordinary punks at all.

Firstly, they didn't rob him and the girl's things, and they didn't even say hand over the money. Secondly, it was their beating methods. What's more, even when they were beating him, their eyes kept falling on the girl intentionally or unintentionally.

So in fact, the target of these people is that girl, right?

Frowning slightly, he looked out of the crowd, and soon, Lu Erhao, who has always had little mood swings when facing outsiders, quickly experienced what it means to be "a person should not be judged by his appearance" and "only a villain and a woman are difficult." Yang Ye" is the true meaning of this sentence.

Because that girl who had been so quiet and weak as if a gust of wind could blow her since they met, actually went out of her way to fix those ruffians one by one very quickly.

Looking at the nimble movements that lift weights as lightly as possible, as well as the movements full of violent aesthetics, it is obvious that it cannot be practiced in a day or two.

But even when she was doing such a scary thing, the girl still looked so elegant.

Lu Erhao was expressionless and just happened to be holding the girl with the mfc paper bag all the time, and then looked at the gangsters who were lying on the ground, grinning and begging for mercy. He was suddenly very sure in his heart that his self-righteous "hero saving the beauty" today was actually not at all. It's a big joke.

Shame on you!
