While Su Meng was busy entertaining guests and taking the opportunity to build relationships, time slowly passed, and finally the auspicious moment came.
"Xiaomeng, the auspicious time is coming, it's time to host the opening ceremony~" Liu Botao reminded her.
Su Meng smiled, and then invited a few distinguished guests to follow her to cut the ribbon, and the business was officially opened!
The beauty invited her, and Xiang Nan's face was there, so the distinguished guests naturally did not refuse.
…
At the door of Fulinmen Restaurant, the etiquette ladies stood in a line in the cold winter months, also wearing cheongsam and holding red silk.
Su Meng, Liu Botao and other distinguished guests each held a pair of gold scissors and prepared to cut the ribbon with a smile.
Opposite them, reporters from several major newspapers in the capital were waiting, each holding a camera, ready to take pictures of this festive moment.
Xiang Nan is very influential in the media industry. On the one hand, his early works were published in newspapers and magazines, and many editors were his old friends.
On the one hand, when he was studying and teaching at Peking University, many seniors, juniors, and students also worked in newspapers and magazines after graduation, and they all had a passion for it.
Therefore, when his restaurant opened this time, everyone naturally gave him face and sent reporters to interview him. When the time comes, help him promote it well.
And when I saw the restaurant open, it was so grand. The front door was full of flower baskets and ribbons. There were names of various functional departments and state-owned enterprises. Pedestrians also stopped one after another.
"This restaurant is so grand, even the city government sent a flower basket to congratulate it?"
"Good guy, this is a flower basket with the prefix "国", it's really amazing!"
"Hmph, another corrupt nest! I know how to eat and drink every day~"
The common people discussed it one after another.
…
At this time, the auspicious time has arrived, and firecrackers are blasting.
Su Meng was about to invite all the distinguished guests to cut the ribbon together.
Just then, two people squeezed into the crowd and shouted, "Wait a minute~"
Su Meng, Liu Botao and several distinguished guests were all stunned.
"Lao Cheng, why are you here? You don't care about your own business, right?"
"Professor Cheng is a big shot, he has to make the final appearance. Come on, come on, I will give you my position~"
"Old Cheng, you are not kind. We guests are all here, but you, the real master, are late. I will punish you with three drinks later~"
The distinguished guests all said with a smile.
The visitors were none other than Xiang Nan and Guan Xiaoguan, and most of them were Xiang Nan's friends, so they were naturally warm to him when they saw him.
Xiang Nan waved his hands and said loudly, "Everyone, I know you are here for my sake, and I am really grateful. But I'm sorry, I can only accept your kindness.
At the beginning of the preparation of this restaurant, I said that I did not want to use my and Miss Guan's names to promote or attract customers. For this reason, we signed a contract specifically.
Because I, Cheng Jianjun and Miss Guan Xiaoguan, both firmly support the government's ideas, do not advocate eating and drinking, and refuse to promote high consumption.
But they still went back on their word and sent out invitations in our name to win over guests. Therefore, Ms. Guan and I both declare that we will withdraw from Fulinmen Restaurant with immediate effect and will sue it for compensation for losses.
You guys are really sorry! "
After Xiang Nan finished speaking, the people present cheered.
"Well said, we shouldn't advocate eating and drinking~"
"Oh, he is Cheng Jianjun, so well said!"
"The problem of food and clothing has not been solved yet. They still open such a big restaurant and use the title of Professor Cheng to solicit customers. It is really despicable~" Gu
Everyone agreed one after another and agreed with Xiang Nan's approach.
After hearing this, the guests all glared at Su Meng and Liu Botao.
If they hadn't used Xiang Nan's banner to spread invitations, they wouldn't have come to support him. It's really abominable!
At this time, the guests in the building heard the noise outside and came to the door one after another.
…
Su Meng and Liu Botao turned pale and became angry with shame.
"Cheng Jianjun, you are so despicable. You jumped out now and you are clearly deliberately embarrassing us." Su Meng couldn't help but said angrily.
"You earn face by yourself, but you also lose face by yourself. If you hadn't gone back on your word and taken the name of Miss Guan and me, you wouldn't have been embarrassed today." Xiang Nan said coldly.
Su Meng and her uncle were shameless. They had already made their words before, but they still went their own way, as if the whole world was springing up.
"Cheng Jianjun, what good will this do to you?" Liu Botao also said angrily.
"I, Cheng Jianjun, will not do anything that breaks the law, and I will not eat anything that is poisonous. I am worthy of heaven and earth for being born under the Zhengyang Gate. You are using my name to engage in official receptions, business receptions, eating and drinking, and high consumption. I think Disgusting!" Xiang Nan scolded.
"Okay!", "That's great!", "As expected of a man from Yanjing~"
The onlookers cheered.
Upon hearing this, the guests hid their faces and left one after another.
They came here because they were deceived, which is quite excusable. If you still don't leave after knowing the truth, it will be unforgivable.
In a short time, all the guests at Fulinmen had left, and no one was left.
"Cheng Jianjun, are you worthy of your friends by doing this? Don't forget, Su Meng is Han Chunming's wife!" Liu Botao saw that the guests had all left, and they all looked angry, knowing that something bad was going on.
If they encounter something like this today, they will never do it again even if they are beaten to death. And if one person leads ten or hundreds of people, eventually all the agencies, units, and companies in the city will not eat here again.
Xiang Nan's move was tantamount to flipping the pot.
"If it's not for Chunming's sake, what qualifications do you have to talk to me?" Xiang Nan looked at him coldly and said, "Liu, I tell you, hurry up and return the money of me and Miss Guan. Otherwise, I will file a lawsuit with you. Xiaoguan, let’s go~”
"Cheng Jianjun, you bastard~" Su Meng couldn't help but stamp her feet.
…
"Brother Jianjun, you have offended someone today, will you be okay?" Guan Xiaoguan said worriedly.
Those guests who suffered such humiliation today may have some hatred for Xiang Nan.
"You don't have to worry about that." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Not only will I be fine, but I will also get better."
The power system of the officialdom is from top to bottom. As long as he does not offend the superiors, people below will not dare to retaliate against him even if they have objections.
Guan Xiaoguan was a little doubtful, but by the next day, she knew that Xiang Nan was right.
Many newspapers such as Yanjing Daily, Workers' Daily, Yanjing Evening News, and Youth Daily reported that Xiang Nan supported the government's ideas, put an end to eating and drinking, and discouraged high consumption.
For a time, this matter aroused widespread heated discussion, and also brought Xiang Nan to the limelight.
"Professor Cheng is right. Before the problem of food and clothing is solved, they are resorting to high consumption. I looked at its menu price list, and one lobster costs more than 2,000 yuan, which is outrageous!"
"The price is set so high and it's not a waste of public money, so it's a good job and it should have been closed long ago! Professor Cheng has such a conscience!"
"These people who open high-end restaurants are really heartless. In order to make more money for themselves, they will not hesitate to recruit and corrupt cadres. Professor Cheng is still public-minded~"
After Fulinmen experienced this incident, it was natural that the front door was deserted, and it closed down in less than half a month.
