Food and live broadcast (7)
Lu Jingqian had already fallen asleep early, and when he was fast asleep, his cell phone rang suddenly. The security guard of the villa notified him that a guest was coming to visit him, and he had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Lu Jingqian thought to himself, it's only been two days since the villa was exposed, so it's impossible to stop someone from taking the initiative to come to "guest"?
"Tell them to leave, just say that I don't entertain any uninvited guests." Lu Jingqian said.
"He said that he is Hong Boxiao, the president of Shenghong Group, and he wants to talk to you in person. I have already sent you the number."
"Hong Boxiao?" Lu Jingqian said after a moment of silence, "Let them in."
Lu Jingqian threw the phone aside, then sat up from the bed, rubbed his face to stay awake, thinking what's wrong with this person? If you come to the mountains at night to be a guest, can't you come during the day?
At the bottom of the villa, Ou Wenyu remembered and asked, "What if he doesn't see us? Should we just go back like this?"
"He will meet." Hong Boxiao said with certainty.
"That's not necessarily true. What if he really wants to go back to the mountains and forests, even if you say you are the president of Shenghong Group, he doesn't want to see you?"
"If you really want to go back to the mountains and forests, you won't be doing live broadcasts. The property of the Lan family is not a small amount, not to mention there are thirty-six recipes of the Lan family. A person who has been trained as an heir, but in one night Losing what he should have inherited, would he really give up all his property and return it to the mountains? He just retreated temporarily, and then waited for a strong enough backer to help him deal with Yan Bin and the forces behind him. .”
Ou Wenyu felt that what he said was very reasonable. Not long after the driver contacted the security guard of the villa, the large automatic iron gate at the foot of the mountain opened, and he felt that Hong Boxiao was right.
Lu Jingqian asked them to take them to his courtyard and entertained them in the outer hall.
Lu Jingqian went to the outer hall, glanced at the two people who were sitting sideways on the bed drinking tea, then went to the main seat and sat down on the bed and said, "Is there something important for you two to visit so late? "
Ou Wenyu rushed ahead of Hong Boxiao and said, "We haven't had dinner yet."
Lu Jingqian stared at them in a daze for a while, then resisted the impulsiveness of Haqie and Baiyan, stood up and said, "Come with me."
The two also stood up at the same time and followed behind Lu Jingqian. Looking at Lu Jingqian's back, Hong Boxiao thought that he looked like a teenager, but his words and deeds were mature and old-fashioned. Perhaps it was because of the tragedy and the grief of losing a loved one that he was like a butterfly forced out of its cocoon, and the comfortable protective shell was no longer there. Thinking of this, Hong Boxiao felt inexplicably distressed. He felt that this boyish shoulder should not bear these things.
Lu Jingqian asked them to sit in the small living room, and then made two bowls of noodles for them in the kitchen next to him. He was not in the mood to cook for them this evening. If he came during the day, he might make a special meal for them Make a few dishes to entertain them. If the person who came was not his lover in this world, he would not let them in at all.
Opening the refrigerator hidden in the hidden compartment on the wall, Lu Jingqian took out the beef soup that had been made too much and had frozen part of it, and the noodles were not freshly rolled, they were extra for entertaining guests this morning.
Ten minutes later, the two bowls of noodles were ready, and Lu Jingqian put them on the table, indicating that they were ready to eat.
Lu Jingqian made himself a cup of tea, went to sit on the armchair next to them, looked at them and said, "The two of you came here uninvited, and you came here this late at night, there must be a reason for it?"
Ou Wenyu just bowed his head and swallowed his face, and had no time to answer Lu Jingqian's question.
Hong Boxiao, who had not had time to eat, replied, "We are here to discuss cooperation with you."
"President Sheng Hong came to discuss cooperation with me personally. It seems like a big deal." Lu Jingqian said, "What kind of cooperation do you want?"
"I'm in the hills around the imperial capital, and I have three manors. I want to invite you to be the executive chef. The salary is up to you, and the request is up to you." Hong Boxiao finally took a bite of the noodles, although he knew that Lu Jingqian must have frozen them The food is made, but the taste is better than any bowl of noodles he has ever eaten.
"It's really a big deal." Lu Jingqian tapped his fingers on the table lightly and said, "You can rest assured that I will be the executive chef? I have even lost miserably in such small competitions, and I am black. There are quite a lot of fans, and the reputation is not very good."
"Did you really hurt Lan Mingze's hand? You lost to him on purpose during the match?" Hong Boxiao asked.
"He injured his hand, and I didn't intend to lose to him on purpose, but because someone tampered with the material, so I lost." Lu Jingqian said the truth.
Ou Wenyu drank the soup in the bowl to the last drop, put down the bowl and said with a sigh, "I absolutely believe what you said. Those who can get along with Yan Bin are definitely not good people. I have eaten Lan Ming With your strength, even if you want to intentionally lose to him, it may be quite difficult for Ze's cooking."
"We came here specially to hire you. We came here at night because we don't want anyone to get ahead of us." Naturally, Hong Boxiao couldn't say that he saw Lu Jingqian soaking in the hot springs, so he rushed over on impulse. Officially, "We are very sincere, I think you should also want to take back everything that should belong to you."
"Dignified President Sheng Hong, I can see your sincerity by coming here in person at such a late hour." Lu Jingqian thought to himself, if you come here at such a late hour, some of them may not be as simple as sincerity. You didn’t come over so many times before I live broadcasted cooking. Today is just a hot spring live broadcast. You can’t wait to come here to show your sincerity.
The big night is really not the time to talk about cooperation, Lu Jingqian waited for them to finish eating, let them go to rest first, and they will talk in detail tomorrow during the day.
The fish he wanted to catch was finally hooked, and Lu Jingqian finally didn't have to be so diligent in the live broadcast. He agreed to Hong Boxiao's invitation. He was waiting for this backer who could help him get everything back.
Waking up early the next morning, Hong Boxiao showed Lu Jingqian the contract he had drawn up.
Lu Jingqian flipped through the content of the contract. He probably skipped the previous content because it was all beneficial to him. When he saw one of them, his eyes stopped for a while, then he looked up at Hong Boxiao and said, "Can't you not wear clothes during the live broadcast?"
Hong Boxiao said seriously, "It's out of protection for you, just like a brokerage company protects artists, live broadcast is also a kind of performance, casual exposure of body will destroy the performance itself, and it will also make the performance vulgar. "
"Oh..." Lu Jingqian was a little speechless about his excuse, but it was not unacceptable, anyway, he didn't like not wearing clothes in front of the camera.
"If you think there is no problem with the contract, you can leave with us today without being harassed by others."
Many visitors came down the mountain early in the morning, but all of them were rejected by Lu Jingqian. However, some people seemed not to give up easily, and refused to leave at the foot of the mountain.
Regarding Hong Boxiao's contract, Lu Jingqian couldn't find any dissatisfaction. As he said, they invited him with sincerity. Such a contract can be said to be the dream of any chef. It is more exciting and challenging than opening a shop by yourself.
After signing this contract, Lu Jingqian started a head-on struggle with Lan Mingze and Yan Bin. He couldn't wait to take revenge and defeat those two people, so he signed without much hesitation. Signed the contract.
After signing the contract, Lu Jingqian packed up his things and went back to the imperial capital with them. The Lanjing Villa may not be peaceful in the near future, and the number of people visiting will definitely continue to increase, so it's better for him to leave and hide for a while.
Hong Boxiao has already had people announce that Shenghong Group is about to start catering and food business, with Hongyuan Villa on the hills surrounding the imperial capital as its main store, and will open branches in urban areas in the future. It also announced that Shenghong Group has signed a contract with Lu Jingqian as the executive chef, and informed everyone that Lu Jingqian is no longer in Lanjing Villa, but is preparing to open in Hongyuan Villa, so those who want to see him don't have to go to Lanjing The mountain of the villa is waiting.
The news that Shenghong Group is going to enter the catering and food industry has become a hot topic of discussion. Many people are guessing how long it will take for Shenghong's catering and food industry to surpass the condiment company under Rongyuan Group, the current leader in the catering industry. .
In all the industries that Shenghong Group is involved in, they are the number one in the industry, but in the catering industry, Rongyuan's position has always been firm, so in the case of fierce competition between the two sides, who is better has caused a lot of speculation and argue.
The news of Sheng Hong's entry into the catering industry made Yan Bin, the general manager of Weipin Company, ready to go all out. hatred.
Rong Yuan's chairman is Yan Bin's grandfather, and Sheng Hong's chairman is Hong Boxiao's grandfather. The two have been rivals for many years. The strengths of the two companies that were evenly matched in the past, but now there is a gap in the abilities of the grandchildren, and the gap in strength between the two companies is slowly being widened.
In Yan Bin's grandfather's heart, he has always envied and hated Grandpa Hong Boxiao for having such an outstanding grandson as Hong Boxiao, and he was also frustrated that his grandsons combined could not compare with Hong Boxiao alone. Hong Boxiao compared them and asked them to try their best to surpass Hong Boxiao, but they failed to do so.
The hatred for Hong Boxiao in Yan Bin's heart was planted since he was a child, because he worked so hard to express himself, but in the eyes of his grandfather, he and his cousins combined were comparable to other people's grandsons, so how could he not angry.
He wholeheartedly wanted to prove that he was better than Hong Boxiao, but he ended up being crushed and failed again and again. His cousins saw it, and worked hard and steadily to do things within their abilities. Gradually he was recognized by his grandfather, but he was often taught by his grandfather because of too many fiascos under Hong Boxiao's hands.
Later, Yan Bin achieved very good results in the catering industry that Hong Boxiao didn't set foot in, and stabilized Rongyuan's position in the catering industry, and finally got his grandfather's approval. Although Rongyuan has also set foot in many industries, the catering industry is the most important thing for Yan Bin's grandfather. The old man is also a foodie. When he was young, he had great ambitions to develop the company. If you have enough delicious food in the world, you will die without regret.
So Yan Bin felt that defeating Hong Boxiao in the catering industry that his grandfather valued the most might be his best chance to prove that he was better than Hong Boxiao. Especially after he knew that Hong Boxiao actually made Lu Jingqian the executive chef, he felt that he had finally waited for the day when he could crush Hong Boxiao.
However, after Lan Mingze knew that Lu Jingqian had signed with Shenghong Group, he felt a stronger sense of crisis. After he knew that Lu Jingqian had Sheng Hong as his backer, it would be difficult for him to let Yan Bin use other means to deal with him. . But if you really want to compete with him, if he hasn't eaten the dishes he cooks, maybe he still has the confidence to beat him. But after eating his food and watching his live broadcast a few times, he no longer has the confidence to win against him. But even so, he absolutely cannot let him take away everything he has now.
Hong Boxiao took Lu Jingqian to visit the Hongyuan Villa, which is much larger than the Lanjing Villa, because the three villas are enclosed together, covering a rather large area, and it is impossible to visit them all in one day. Most of the places in the front are used for entertaining guests after the opening, while the back part is a closed area, which is only for entertaining relatives and friends.
Hong Boxiao asked Lu Jingqian to choose a courtyard by himself as a place to live for a long time in the future, and no one can enter this courtyard without his permission in the future.
Hong Boxiao strongly recommended the courtyard he lived in to Lu Jingqian, because the courtyard he usually lives in is big enough, and the courtyard is located at the highest point, so he can not be disturbed by any sound.
Lu Jingqian visited Hong Boxiao's courtyard, and found that it was indeed big and grand enough, and there were enough rooms. After strolling around, Lu Jingqian saw the Yunyue Tower in the courtyard and decided to live in it from now on.
Lu Jingqian was sitting by the window, watching the scenery below, while talking to Hong Boxiao, "The opening time is not in a hurry, the chefs are all new here, although they all have work experience, but they have a tacit understanding You still need to train and train again. Isn’t the company going to develop the food industry business? I think it’s better for me to write down some cooking methods first, and you have people make a lot of them, and put them in the supermarket for sale. Try it out."
"It's all according to what you said. If you have any ideas in the future, you can just ask the general manager to arrange it." Hong Boxiao looked at Lu Jingqian's soft profile and said, "I think you made spicy chicken and small dishes before. Lobsters are very good, and they are also suitable for sale as cooked food, so they can be sold.”
"Well, in addition to these two, add three more cooked food dishes, sell five kinds of cooked food dishes first, and increase popularity and popularity." Lu Jingqian looked away from the window and turned to look at Hong Boxiao's At that time, he found that there was a faint fire of desire in his eyes looking at him, so he froze.
