Lin Yue took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over.
Xu Lan took it, unfolded it and looked at it for a few times, her expression became a little ugly.
"All right."
She sighed, folded the paper again and handed it to Lin Yue.
"Your grandma called me this afternoon and said she knew what happened at the competition."
"Then what?"
"I blame you for being ignorant and making the family scandal so public."
"How did you respond to her?"
"I asked her which one she would choose between her grandson and granddaughter. She didn't say anything and hung up the phone."
Lin Yue smiled, turned around and walked outside.
"By the way, that Xu Li is pretty good."
"Then ask her to come home for a meal when you have time?"
"Okay, tell me what you want to eat in advance and I'll ask the nanny to buy it."
"good."
Lin Yue quickly went downstairs.
Xu Lan listened to the thumping sound getting further and further away, then watched the Buick parked outside the yard disappear. She picked up her cell phone and called her sister who worked in the group.
…
In less than a day, photos and videos of the cooking challenge were circulated online.
People like to watch programs such as competitions, but they are more willing to watch revelations and quarrels. If it is related to the rich and powerful, it will be even more attractive.
No one expected that a good game would turn into a farce, but the impact of this farce cannot be measured by hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.
WeChat groups, inside and outside the subway, rest areas in office buildings, food discussion groups on major websites...
Many people use this incident as a source of conversation, sharing the details of the story they learned from a certain source with their relatives and friends, such as the relationship between Jiang Haokun and Jiang Lai, the grievances between Jiang Haokun and Lu Yuan, and Steven's realization of shame. Hou Yong.
Correspondingly, Reef Restaurant's ranking has skyrocketed in restaurant recommendation lists such as Dianping, Baidu Nuomi and other major portals and social networking sites. Some food bloggers flew to Shanghai to taste the "white food" of Reef Restaurant. "Lovers", "Steak Wellington", "Cauliflower Corn Assorted Buns" and other dishes, and even ordered some Chinese dishes off the menu to attract attention and show everyone what Chinese food cooked by a foreign Michelin chef is like.
As an on-site judge, Yang Zhesen's Weibo comment area has turned into a complaints conference.
The baby loves to dance: "The chef of Gray Whale Restaurant has actually been in prison. I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it."
Ultraman licks Pig Man crazily: "I heard that he was a Chinese-American before, and I thought that a Chinese could cook Western food so well and have time to support him. Now it seems that I'd better forget it."
National Football Team 1583: "Why don't you go? It's just a meal, why are you so particular?"
Ultraman licks the pig man like crazy: "Would you like to have a person with a criminal record serve you? It's so painful to eat the food in your mouth, and he has no sense of taste. Removing the food will delay time and affect his mood."
National Football Team 1583: "I'm used to bad habits."
Ultraman licks Pig Man crazily: "It turns out your mouth stinks as much as your feet."
National Football Team 1583: "Say one more thing, you bitch."
A Little Red Flower: "Why are you still scolding? No one can stop you if you want to go, and no one can force him to go if he doesn't want to go. So why should we fight?"
Ultraman licks the pig man wildly: "The navy hired by the Gray Whale Restaurant must be. I think the turnover of the Gray Whale Restaurant must have been a big problem these days. However, the little sister who went to the Reef Restaurant yesterday to explore the store posted this in the circle of friends I made a short video and the business there is super booming.”
International 1583: "That's because they gave discount coupons to people who went to watch the game."
Niu Niu: "Then why doesn't Gray Whale Restaurant distribute it?"
International 1583: "The Gray Whale Restaurant also gave them away, but they are just souvenirs."
Niu Niu: "I have been to both the Reef Restaurant and the Gray Whale Restaurant. They are of similar quality and the taste is quite good. However, the dishes at the Reef Restaurant are larger. They also give out big discount coupons. The Gray Whale Restaurant provides keychains and nails." What about small things like tongs and mugs to top up your account? Do you think people who can go to a Western restaurant with a per capita consumption of 700+ will care about such small favors? I can only say that the manager of the Gray Whale restaurant is too stupid. If I were him My boss has already dealt with this nonsense."
Pa~pa~
In the manager's office of Gray Whale Restaurant, Feng Yufang slapped the table loudly.
Because he is the "National Football Team 1583", and he can indeed be regarded as a sailor hired by the Gray Whale Restaurant... No, it should be said that he is an online commentator who is dedicated to his job and prepares his own dry food.
Originally, this job was given to the waiters in the restaurant, but those guys who couldn't support the wall spent three days fishing and two days drying the nets. They didn't pay attention at all. They watched the Reef Restaurant burn to the ground and turned into ashes. The Whale Restaurant is crowded ------ The key point is that people have a herd mentality. They tend to go to whichever restaurant has more customers. If a restaurant has fewer customers, they will naturally not be trusted. Feng Yufang became seriously ill. I went to the doctor, so I registered a bad ID to chat with netizens, but I got really angry.
"Manager Feng."
With a patter of footsteps, Jiang Lai appeared at the door.
"Miss, you are here. Come and see what the restaurant is like now."
Jiang Lai didn't care at all about his complaints: "Where is Lu Yuan? He hasn't come to work yet?"
Since the end of the cooking challenge, Lu Yuan has not been to the Gray Whale Restaurant. She did not dare to go to the Peng family's old house on Hunan Road to find someone, so she could only arrange for restaurant staff to persuade her. Before coming to the manager's office, she went to the back kitchen to see Then, I found that there were still the same big kittens, and there was no trace of Lu Yuan at all.
"My eldest lady, the restaurant is like this, and you still ask Lu Yuan."
Feng Yufang regretted it after he finished speaking, because he finally realized that Jiang Lai's thoughts were completely different from his.
What was he thinking? After Lu Yuan did this, the restaurant business plummeted. Where was Jiang Lai? The Gray Whale Restaurant is a small side business of the Jiang family. How could the little money earned fall into her eyes?
"Manager Feng, I'll give you three more days. If you can't get Lu Yuan back, you don't have to be the restaurant manager."
"..."
Ten thousand grass and mud horses flew through Feng Yufang's mind. Sure enough, as Jiang Haokun said, this woman is a love brain and has nothing else in her heart except men.
"Miss, did the chairman call this morning?"
"My dad? Why is he calling here?"
"Asking about you and Lu Yuan."
"What did you say?"
"I said he resigned, miss. The chairman said he was not allowed to recruit Lu Yuan into the kitchen. Now you want me to invite him back... This... isn't this making things difficult for me?"
"Hmph, you're so lenient. I'll go find dad."
Jiang Lai took the bag and left.
…
Three days later.
A Buick stopped outside the villa where Jiang Zhihua lived. With the sound of "Peng Peng" closing the two doors, Lin Yue and Xu Lan got out of the car.
The nanny was cleaning the yard outside. When she saw the two approaching, she called out very affectionately: "Mrs."
Xu Lan nodded: "Where is Jiang Zhihua?"
The nanny pointed to the living room.
Lin Yue noticed that her expression was a bit complicated, with an indescribable emotion.
It wasn't until Xu Lan opened the door and walked in that he finally understood why the nanny was acting abnormally.
"I told you, stay at home for the next few days and you can't go anywhere."
"Why? What you call restricting personal freedom is illegal!"
"Why? Breaking the law? You still have the nerve to say this. The Jiang family has been completely embarrassed by you. Do you know what people outside say about us? We are a weird family!"
"They say whatever they like. I'm not living with them, so why should I care about it."
"I won't do it if I say no. And that Lu Yuan, I won't allow you to meet him again."
"I want to meet him. Not only do I want to meet him, I also want to fall in love with him, get married, and give him children."
"Jiang Lai, do you want to make me angry to death?"
"Dad, do you want to force me to death?"
"..."
The quarrel came from the second floor.
Lin Yue was delighted when he heard this, hehe, this is so ridiculous, he is threatening his family with suicide again.
In the TV series, he raced in a tunnel for Chen Fang, searched for life on the rooftop of a bar, and went on a hunger strike for several days. Later, he ignored the relationship between Jiang Haokun and Lu Yuan and insisted on being a licking dog against the wishes of his family.
If you think about it carefully, for a woman like this, if she wants to die, she can just die, and it will save one more harm to the world. It is better for the family to have short-term pain than long-term pain, otherwise there will be times when the parents will be troubled in the future.
"Jiang Zhihua, Jiang Zhihua..."
Xu Lan walked to the stairs and called twice.
The quarrel from upstairs stopped.
After a while, Jiang Zhihua came out from the corner of the stairs with the sound of thumping downstairs.
Immediately afterwards there was the sound of thumping footsteps again, and Jiang Lai also came down.
"What are you here for?"
The first time she saw Lin Yue, her face dropped, and she was so cold that she was almost devoid of human color. Her eyes looking at him also conveyed the meaning of "the hatred is irreconcilable."
This is easy to understand, because in her opinion, if it were not for Jiang Haokun, she and Chen Fang would have been living together, and now it is Jiang Haokun who has disturbed her and Lu Yuan's good affairs.
"Get out, you are not welcome in our home!"
"Your home?" Lin Yue looked around the surroundings: "I'm not sure whether this is your home."
"fart!"
Jiang Lai had a ferocious look on his face, with his hair disheveled like a madman.
Xu Lan frowned, feeling that this was no longer her daughter. Even if she saw a stray dog on the way, she would still wag her tail to please you after feeding her half a steamed bun. What about her? When I saw my own mother coming over, I didn’t have a good word to say.
I don't ask you to admit your mistakes. It's always right to call "Mom", but what she did was to show off her face as soon as she came in, as if she was the head of the household. The relationship hadn't reached this level before, so my opinion of her was She is unruly and willful, thinking that people will become more mature as they grow older, but now her thoughts towards her are -----disgusting.
Yes, disgusted.
I still regret it, regretting how I gave birth to such a thing.
"Come on." Jiang Zhihua glared at her: "Didn't I ask you to stay up there? What are you doing down here?"
"What are you doing?" Jiang Lai said with hatred towards Lin Yue, "Come down and cause trouble, just like what he did before."
"Nonsense!"
Judging from the way Jiang Zhihua was panting, he was very angry with her just now.
Lin Yue wanted to say, "You deserve it." Jiang Haokun, Jiang Zhihua, and Xu Lan, these three people had spoiled Jiang Lai since they were young, and now they are able to get away with it.
Xu Lan suppressed her anger, said "I'll wait for you in the study", and entered the next room with Lin Yue.
It is said to be a study room, which is larger than the study room of ordinary families. The overall space is divided into two parts. On the north side is a desk and bookshelf. On the south side facing the window is a tea table with four chairs around it. Jiang Zhihua usually drinks tea here. .
Xu Lan pulled up a chair and sat down. Lin Yue did not sit down. He walked to the bookshelf and took out a book to flip through.
Jiang Zhihua walked in from the outside with a sullen face, glanced at him, said nothing, and sat down opposite Xu Lan.
"You also saw what happened just now. Were you there at the time? Why didn't you go up and stop him? Now there is a lot of noise outside, and everything is said. Even the group's business has been affected a lot. The directors and senior executives are not showing off at all. "I can see the dissatisfaction in my heart."
Xu Lan said: "I didn't agree with Chen Fang in their relationship back then, and I don't agree with this Lu Yuan now. Did she listen? Didn't you listen? Now you blame me for not stopping her? She is a living person, not a pet. Cats, pet dogs.”
"I mean why didn't you stop your son."
"You didn't stop your daughter either."
"Can it be the same?" Jiang Zhihua pointed at the table and said, "Lai Lai is ignorant, so he doesn't understand either?"
Xu Lan was very angry: "Your daughter is thirty years old, and I know the whole story of this matter better than anyone else. If she hadn't posted many troublesome online articles, would the matter have reached this stage?"
"Is it still reasonable to steal other people's things?"
Jiang Lai walked in from outside.
Jiang Zhihua frowned: "Didn't I ask you to wait outside?"
"Why should I wait? You don't let me go out and have some fun at home?" Jiang Lai sat down on the chair opposite with a bottle of wine in his hand: "Jiang Haokun, I heard that you are now following Gan Jing's best friend got together, what is her name? Oh yes, Xu Li, I heard she is a psychiatrist. Wouldn't you rather not let me and Chen Fang? Aren't you plotting to harm Lu Yuan? Just wait, I I will never let you have an easy time."
Lin Yue put the book back on the bookshelf and turned to glance at her, not caring about her threat.
"Jiang Lai!" Xu Lan said angrily: "Go and look in the mirror and see what you are like now? You are not a human being or a ghost."
She had a good impression of Xu Li, and when she saw Jiang Lai trying to make a fuss about this matter, she could no longer suppress her anger.
"Am I a human or a ghost?" Jiang Lai was very excited. He stood up and pointed at Lin Yue, Xu Lan, and Jiang Zhihua: "Who caused me to be like this? Isn't it you? If you had agreed with me in the first place Would what happened today happen if you were with Chen Fang? Jiang Haokun, you, the executioner who killed him, people like you shouldn't live in this world, why don't you die!"
"It seems that the punishment was gentle last time." Lin Yue said in a cold voice, walking towards the eldest lady of the Jiang family who looked up at him with an arrogant look on her face.
"Haokun!" Xu Lan stopped him, opened the zipper of the handbag, took out a document and handed it over: "I am here to give you this."
Jiang Zhihua asked: "What is this?"
Xu Lan motioned to him to understand after taking a look.
"Divorce agreement? Are you serious?"
Jiang Zhihua's face was ashen: "I thought you would calm down after moving to a villa in MH District to calm down for a few days, but I didn't expect..."
Xu Lan glanced at Jiang Lai: "You should thank your daughter for this."
Obviously, she was talking about the cooking challenge.
Jiang Zhihua said: "She is also your daughter!"
"It won't be the case from today." When Xu Lan said this, there was no change in the expression on her face, as if she had already given up on her daughter.
Jiang Lai glanced at Lin Yue, and it was self-evident that he meant to blame him. In short, she was not wrong. What was wrong was that Jiang Haokun was playing tricks and fanning Xu Lan's ears to ignite things.
"Xu Lan, I don't think this is necessary. Even if we don't consider our children, do you know how much impact our divorce will have on Jiang Group? First of all, what will those executives think? How much pressure will the company's stock price bear?"
There is another situation he did not mention. Once the two divorce, Xu Lan will definitely take away part of his shares, which will have an impact on the power structure of the group.
Xu Lan said: "Then it's not my problem. You can talk to Haokun about this."
Lin Yue looked expressionlessly at the middle-aged man opposite him who had asked him to kneel down and apologize before resuming their relationship. He felt that being the father, mother, brother and sister of a time traveler like him was a very dangerous thing.
"Remember what I said at the board meeting?"
What did he say at the board meeting?
He said let him beg him to go back.
Peng!
Jiang Zhihua slapped the table and stood up: "Is this your attitude when talking to your dad?"
"Are you sick? It was you who severed the relationship between father and son with me, and now you are the one who wants me to recognize my father. Jiang Zhihua, do you want to save face?"
First of all, Lin Yue is not his son Jiang Haokun. Secondly, this guy has always been partial to Jiang Lai. It's good that Lin Yue didn't slap him in the mouth, but he still wants to gain respect?
"You unfilial son!"
Lin Yue was too lazy to pay attention to him and directly threw a few pieces of paper on the table.
"Jiang Zhihua, see clearly, this is what you were doing after mom moved out, asking her to go back and think about it seriously? I think you are buying time for yourself, right?"
Jiang Zhihua grabbed the papers on the table and flipped through them. If his face was livid just now, his face was pale now.
"Xu Lan..."
No wonder Xu Lan was so determined to divorce him. It turned out that Jiang Haokun obtained evidence of his transfer of property by some means.
Yes, as early as when Xu Lan threatened Jiang Lai with divorce, he had contacted overseas connections to manage his assets and tried to transfer part of his equity and real estate.
"Oh, by the way, we have submitted these evidences to the court. Regardless of whether you agree with the divorce agreement or not, you have to go to court."
Lin Yue helped Xu Lan up from the chair, turned around and walked outside.
"Xu Lan, are you going to make me angry to death?" Jiang Zhihua was so angry that he threw a cup on the ground and broke it to pieces.
Xu Lan was startled and her face turned pale, while Lin Yue turned around and smiled: "Don't worry, I will send you a beautiful wreath after you die."
"you you……"
Jiang Zhihua's body swayed and he almost fell.
Jiang Lai quickly helped the person and looked at Lin Yue with a ferocious face: "Beast!"
"Haha, go ahead and put something on others that no one else wants."
Lin Yue sneered back, opened the door and walked out.
Jiang Lai wanted to catch up and talk too fast, but was stopped by the panting Jiang Zhihua: "Medicine, medicine, my medicine..."
At the same time, Lin Yue and Xu Lan got into the car.
"Mom, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Xu Lan waved her hand and said weakly: "Let's go home."
Ding ding dongdong~
The car drove forward less than a hundred meters when Lin Yue's cell phone rang, and the message that popped up on the center console showed that the call was from Gan Jing.
He paused for a moment, glanced at his mother who had her eyes closed in the rearview mirror, took out the wireless headphones and put them on.
"Hey, what's the matter?"
"..." Gan Jing could feel how bad his mood was towards her: "Haokun, Mr. Wang from Dayun called three days ago. He suddenly changed his mind about the contract and said that he would discuss it with his partners again. The contract is about to be signed, what do you mean... what does he mean by doing this?"
Lin Yue chuckled: "Gan Jing, I think you should ask Lu Yuan about this issue, not me."
There was another long silence on the other side of the phone.
"Haokun, please help me. I've been driven crazy by Mr. Wang these past two days."
