What to do if you are spotted by the straight man next door

Su Bin had a good impression of Cheng Ang because William had stood up for justice on the day of Cheng Ang's graduation banquet and asked the rivet shoe girl to apologize.

William took the initiative to invite Su Bin to drink coffee. The other party was also a restaurant owner. Su Bin thought that maybe he had experience and could ask for advice, so he readily agreed.

"I heard from Leo, are you the legendary...'Boss Su'?" Before Su Bin revealed his secret, William revealed his identity first.

"Hmm..." Sun Yujie and Cheng Ang didn't break up when Boss Su opened his business. Su Bin wasn't surprised that Cheng Ang knew the secret, but he was curious when William knew it.

William: "When I first met you."

Su Bin: "Is it the day of Leo's graduation banquet?"

William nodded and smiled, "I was taken aback at the beginning."

Su Bin: "Why?"

William: "You're too young."

Su Bin: "Actually, I'm just a boss in name."

William: "I know, but the restaurant should be named after you?"

Su Bin scratched his head: "Well, the name 'Boss Su' was named by me."

"Hehe, it is precisely because of this that I was taken aback. How could you, an ordinary foreign student, make such a big noise?... We checked, and there is an agent of K Company behind the 'Boss Su' The team is helping to manage it." William glanced at Su Bin: "But the agency team is hired, so they are not the mastermind behind the scenes, am I right?"

Su Bin nodded lightly, a little surprised by William's insight.

However, for the boss of "Hua Zhixin" to pay so much attention to it, does it mean that "Boss Su" is becoming more and more famous?

William asked: "Have you heard about the 'Heart of China'?"

Su Bin froze for a moment, then shook his head in embarrassment: "Sorry."

William: "'Huazhixin' currently has five chain stores in country B, city M is the second, and the first one is in city D, the capital of country B. It opened 12 years ago, and it is no bigger than the takeaway shop of 'Boss Su' How many small restaurants. Eight years ago, because of the vicious competition in country B and the suppression of domestic businesses, 'Hua Zhi Xin' was facing bankruptcy, and it was only escaped by being acquired by Jianghua Group, and it gradually opened to this scale."

Su Bin: "It's amazing! 'Hua Zhi Xin' has been open for so long!"

William: "..." (=_=)

Su Bin: "???"

William: "Shouldn't your focus be 'Jianghua Group'?"

Su Bin: "Jianghua Group...what does it do?"

William was speechless, so he turned on his mobile phone and searched for the name on Wikipedia to show Su Bin.

Su Bin exclaimed, isn't this... the group company of the richest man in Hong Kong?

William was very satisfied with Su Bin's expression now, and he continued: "Without the Jianghua Group, there would be no Huazhixin now, but it's not just Huazhixin, one-third of the Chinese restaurants in country B are controlled by Jianghua Group. "

Su Bin thought for a while and asked, "Are you from the Jianghua Group?"

William smiled and said, "It should be said that Jianghua Group belongs to my family."

Su Bin: "Your... surname is Li?"

William smiled "puchi" and said, "My surname is Jiang."

Su Bin: "..."

William: "The surname Li is my mother's surname."

Su Bin: "That's awesome!" - not all of them are family members!I always feel that I have met a great person~=_=|||

William raised his forehead: "Don't you have a sense of crisis?"

Su Bin: "What sense of crisis?"

William: "Acquired by Jianghua Group."

Su Bin: "Why do you want to acquire 'Boss Su'?"

William grinned maliciously at Su Bin: "Of course it's for 'monopoly'."

Su Bin was ashamed: "This is not good, did 'Boss Su' offend you?"

The man covered his mouth with his fist, held back his laughter and trembled all over, and said after a long time: "You are so cute."

Su Bin: "Did you really tease me just now..." orz...

William: "Should I say that you are innocent, or that the person behind you protects you too well?"

Su Bin: "..."

"Just kidding, don't mind," William coughed lightly, and said, "I said this to explain that although it is not difficult to open a restaurant in country B, it is necessary to open a restaurant in country B within half a year. The strength of a small takeaway store to achieve a brand chain cannot be achieved by being rich and popular... Boss Su has hardly encountered any obstacles and internal competition since he opened his business. I guess the strength behind you must be no less than that of' Jianghua Group'."

Su Bin didn't intend to deliberately conceal the existence of Ellen and Jin Fei. Hearing what William said, he inevitably became alert.

William shrugged: "I didn't find anything. I heard from Leo that he seems to be your roommate, so I'm a little curious."

This is not surprising to Su Bin. After all, Brother Cheng and Ai Lun have rented together for so many years, and they don't know Ai Lun's status as a duke. In terms of background, Ai Lun is indeed very mysterious and cautious.

Thinking of this, Su Bin broke out in a cold sweat, because he never thought of keeping secrets for Ellen deliberately at the beginning. If William had played tricks on him just now, he might have revealed the secret!

William looked at him with a smile and asked, "Is that man the 'brother' who borrowed your clothes?"

Su Bin: "..."

William saw that Su Bin's eyes were shaking and he was uneasy, and he was completely different from the dazed look just now—it seems that "that person" is Boss Su's "fate".

William stopped embarrassing him, and changed the subject: "What is your position for Boss Su in the future? It's impossible to keep doing takeaways, right?"

Su Bin: "Takeaway stores are an indispensable part. I think popularization is still very important. Just like in mainland China, there are always more people who know "KFC" than "Leopards."

William: "But your main customer group is still students, especially overseas students, isn't it?"

Su Bin: "Yes."

William: "College students in country B have four months of vacation in one year. The turnover during this period should not be high, right?"

Su Bin nodded. The income during the holidays was very bleak, and it was mainly balanced by the income during the semester.He also discussed this issue with Ellen, but Ellen didn't take it seriously. He told Su Bin not to pay attention to the income, as long as he was happy.

"Our next step is to open a formal restaurant, and we are already selecting a location."

William's eyes lit up: "Oh? Is it to expand the customer base? This will inevitably move closer to the traditional model."

Su Bin: "You mean like 'Tai Fu' and 'Hua Zhi Xin'?"

William: "The main feature of Tai Fu is his weekend dim sum cart. The rest is no different from Huazhixin, but their price level is much lower than Huazhixin."

Su Bin: "It's popular, Huazhixin is too expensive!"

William said with a smile: "There are people who patronize you, and the Chinese care about face the most."

Su Bin: "..." That's really true. For example, Cheng Ang, who was able to book a graduation banquet in Huazhixin, has already been heard in the study circle in M ​​city.

"According to my research, M City has the most Hong Kong-style restaurants, followed by Sichuan cuisine. I want to cook something else, because I am from Hangzhou, and I am personally familiar with Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine."

"The taste of Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine is not outstanding in country B, and most of them are similar to Hong Kong-style cuisine."

Su Bin: "Hong Kong-style cuisine now occupies the main market in country B because Hong Kong people came to country B to develop earlier than mainlanders, but this does not mean that Jiangsu-Zhejiang cuisine is niche. We can promote Jiangnan in country B through 'Boss Su' Food, and now more and more people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang are coming to study in country B, I think it will be popular. In addition, I also want to cook some food from all over the mainland, such as the hot-selling Roujiamo and dumplings after Boss Su’s opening, respectively Guanzhong and northern traditional snacks, I have never seen these things in country B, but they are selling very well now."

It was only after Su Bin's words that William recognized him: "It seems that you can think that what you said is right. The Chinese food market really needs to innovate."

The two chatted about this topic again. After all, William had more experience than Su Bin, especially when it came to the tastes of the locals in country B, and gave him a lot of useful suggestions.

William: "There is a very strange restaurant in M ​​City. The owner seems to be a Thai who lived in China. Their dishes are a combination of Chinese and Thai. They are very popular with the locals. Do you have time tonight?"

Su Bin looked at his watch and realized that this conversation had lasted for an hour without knowing it!

"Not today, I should go back!"

When the excitement of the chat was interrupted, William seemed a little disappointed: "In such a hurry?"

Su Bin was very embarrassed: "I will treat you next time I have time."

Recently, Ellen's control over him has become more and more serious, and he has almost completely controlled Su Bin's social circle. It has been a long time since he has no freedom to go to appointments and have dinner with others alone, so Su Bin doesn't know if he has An opportunity to "treat".

William took out his business card from his pocket and handed it over: "Then I'll wait for your call."

Su Bin took it solemnly. He didn't have a business card, but out of politeness, he also told William his mobile phone number.

When they got home, Su Bin told Ellen truthfully that he had "lost contact" for more than two hours. Sure enough, Ellen was very upset and confiscated William's business card.

Su Bin tried to win over, saying that William was a "peer" and that communication would be beneficial for him to run the restaurant, but this didn't make Ellen change his mind.

This kind of thing has happened more than once, except Cheng Ang's graduation banquet was accompanied by Jin Fei, and Ellen graciously let him go, and Ellen never agreed to the rest of the social interaction.

Su Bin used to feel extremely aggrieved, but after being treated coldly by Ellen for several days, the other party's mood seriously affected Su Bin's own state, and he could only give in and compromise.

Now, Su Bin is almost an "alternative" existence in the eyes of acquaintances. In the store on weekdays, the handsome Su Bin is often approached by girls, and even asks for a phone number and contact information. At first Su Bin treated each other politely.Later, when he encountered such a thing, instead of seeing joy, he had a frightened expression instead.
