Chapter 286
Chapter 286
Meng Changyue has been facing setbacks recently, which makes him who has always been smooth sailing a little unacceptable.
Especially when he went to invite Chef Wu today, he asked for a red envelope of 20,000 yuan as soon as he opened his mouth, and he would definitely bring his team to Baiwei Restaurant.
Meng Changyue didn't get angry on the spot, but after returning home from outside, he was so angry that he smashed the tea set on the coffee table to pieces.
In the past, when his Baiwei Restaurant was doing well, many chefs wanted to work here.
Now, he found a slightly famous chef, and they all asked for a lot of money.
Those who don't know would think that they came to Baiwei Restaurant and could immediately revive the restaurant.
"What's going on?"
Tao Meiling just got home from get off work and saw broken porcelain pieces all over the floor of the house, and Meng Changyue sitting on the sofa sulking.
Meng Changyue used to be full of vigor and handsome.
But the Meng Changyue in front of him looked like a defeated rooster.
This made Tao Meiling frown slightly, a little unhappy.
"Nothing, some things have been going wrong recently, I'll go clean it up."
Meng Changyue showed his vulnerable side at the right time.
Tao Meiling, who was not very happy just now, softened her heart instantly.
"Let the nanny come to clean it up later, tell me what happened and who made you so angry."
Tao Meiling sat very naturally on the armrest of the sofa next to Meng Changyue, and put one hand on his shoulder very naturally.
"It's not the restaurant. I went to the company I used to work with. Their leader promised everything, but the little guys acted like bosses. They just looked down on me."
"I have no choice. I can't just wait and change the kitchen."
"As a result, the group of people who used to flatter me now all turned their backs on me. The chef Wu, who I used to favor, even asked for 20,000 yuan before he was willing to bring his team to me."
"But where can I get so much money now?"
Meng Changyue rubbed his cheeks.
"In fact, if I ask my grandfather for money now, he will definitely give it to me. But I am a grown man, how can I have the face to ask him for money? If this matter gets out, I am afraid it will be even more difficult for me to gain a foothold in the Shi family in the future."
Tao Meiling on the side is not a fool. As soon as Meng Changyue asked, she rushed to give him 20,000 yuan.
She hesitated for a moment, then said with some embarrassment, "I don't have 20,000 yuan, I'll give you 5,000 first, and you can think of a way to get the rest."
While speaking, Tao Meiling kissed Meng Changyue on the cheek.
"Changyue, why do you have to embarrass yourself so much? Just ask your grandfather to change your surname to Shi, and everything will be solved."
"It's not a good thing to keep your identity hidden all the time now."
Meng Changyue's heart tightened, and he immediately understood what Tao Meiling meant.
She wanted to tell Meng Changyue openly and secretly that before the two got engaged, she still hoped that Meng Changyue could officially become a member of the Shi family, instead of hiding it like this now.
"As long as you change your surname, you don't need to do anything like what happened at Baiwei Restaurant today. You just need to sit at home, and the companies that cooperate with you will leave at least half of their business to Baiwei Restaurant."
"And that chef Wu, he's probably going to give you 20,000 yuan to be your chef.
Meng Changyue looked embarrassed, but he had already cursed in his heart.
Could he not know the trick? Could he not know how much benefit he would get if he changed his surname?
But now Mr. Shi has clearly told him to find his childhood photos.
He already doubted his identity.
At this juncture, how could he dare to ask Mr. Shi for money? Unless he had a brain full of tofu dregs, he would do such a risky thing.
"The teacher mentioned this to me a few days ago, but I was against it in my heart. My adoptive parents raised me for so many years, I can't be an ungrateful person. Let's talk about changing my surname later. "
Meng Changyue pretended to be very filial and embarrassed, and Tao Meiling sighed slightly.
"That's what I said. This is your family affair. I won't interfere. You can do whatever you want."
"As for the remaining 15,000 yuan, you should think of a way first. If it doesn't work, I'll ask my parents for it."
"Meiling, thank you for understanding me."
What can five thousand yuan do? Meng Changyue took the money and looked down on Tao Meiling in his heart.
Her family is so rich, and she is the only girl in the family. She usually buys luxury goods without blinking an eye. When it comes to him, it's like alms.
Meng Changyue, who thinks he is looked down upon, is more distorted. He even feels that everyone in the world owes him.
Not enough money to hire a new chef, Meng Changyue finally remembered Wang Xian.
He chose an evening and asked Wang Xian to go to a teahouse for tea.
"Boss Wang, can the medicinal materials business you mentioned last time still be done now?"
"Why, Boss Meng, do you have a way?"
"I do have a way, but I need money to open the way. I wonder how much money Boss Wang can give."
When Wang Xian heard Meng Changyue asking him for money so readily, he laughed directly.
"Boss Meng, since you don't treat me as an outsider, I will tell you directly. I have money, but I can't give you money just because of a few words from Boss Meng. If you want medicinal materials, I can give you a truckload of medicinal materials on credit first."
Meng Changyue was vicious in his heart and greeted all of Wang Xian's ancestors. He was indeed an old fox, and he would not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit.
"Okay, the Shi family has a Chinese medicine hospital in Beijing, a comprehensive hospital. I'll see if I can send your herbs to the hospital."
"We'll talk about the money later."
"No problem."
Meng Changyue couldn't get any money from Wang Xian, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him. He drank the tea at hand and left.
Coming out of the teahouse, looking at the busy streets, he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
Why did he get stuck in his teeth when he drank cold water recently?
He must have had a blood feud with Meng Haisheng in his previous life, otherwise why would he start to have bad luck as soon as he showed up.
After standing on the street for a long time, Meng Changyue didn't want to go back to the yard where he and Tao Meiling lived.
He looked around and saw no one he knew, and continued to stroll on the street on his bicycle.
After strolling around, he finally rode his bicycle from East City to West City, and turned around and entered a relatively clean small yard.
