Chapter 1732 1732: Memories Too Painful to Recall
Chapter 1732 1732: Memories Too Painful to Recall
Ling Zhenfei was quite shocked after hearing Lele's analysis, or perhaps it was true.
Take Ling Zhenfei for example, if he were still an ordinary person, in college he liked a girl very much,
but at the time he was so poor he could barely afford to eat, so even if the girl showed interest in him, he didn't dare confess.
After starting work, Ling Zhenfei's career saw some improvement, but he was just an average white-collar worker.
Ling Zhenfei understood clearly in his heart that if he remained an ordinary white-collar worker, he might pursue Yang Zixuan in the future.
But he lacked the ability to handle so many things for Yang Zixuan, and she might not be impressed by him, which was really uncertain.
If he worked hard and finally won over Yang Zixuan, he would definitely be cautiously devoted to her every day, and wouldn't dare to think about other women.
Even if he had fleeting thoughts, they would just be momentary flashes in his mind.
Men are all the same, it's just that some men have stronger self-control.
When a person's abilities reach a certain level, their ambitions naturally grow too, with times of pride and arrogance, leading to many mistakes like Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei understood this truth and found himself speechless.
After finishing the meal, Lele personally saw Ling Zhenfei out, and he waved goodbye as he got into the taxi.
The taxi driver glanced at Lele: "Your wife is really beautiful. How many women still see their husbands off to the door when they're leaving?"
Ling Zhenfei felt like something hit him hard in his heart, but even he didn't quite know what the feeling was.
The flight was at around nine this morning. Flights at this time are the most comfortable, arriving in the Capital City just in time for lunch.
Since he just bought the ticket this morning, no one at the airport noticed Ling Zhenfei, and there were no fans waiting, which was quite a relief for him.
He sat alone in the airport wearing a mask and glasses, waiting for the plane to arrive.
The big screen in the airport displayed some ads, and Ling Zhenfei was surprised to see the promotions for Immortal Drunken Wine and Xishan Restaurant.
The ad for Xishan Restaurant was very simple, featuring an ad made by Li Yuetong for Xishan Manor.
As for the Immortal Drunken Wine ad, Ling Zhenfei had left it entirely to the promotions department.
The promotions department consisted of a group of fresh graduates, all arranged by Chen Qian, and you could clearly feel the youthful vibe.
Even though these students had just graduated, their ideas were endless. The tagline for this round of advertising for Immortal Drunken Wine was particularly interesting.
"I only appear on the tables of Xishan Restaurant!"
The picture showed the unique packaging of Hundred Flowers Drunk, both ancient and grand.
A line of text followed, indicating that it was a product of Xianrenzui Distillery.
There was no mention of Immortal Drunken Wine, yet it was indeed advertising it.
This ad cleverly leveraged the currently popular Xishan Restaurant and made use of Hundred Flowers Drunk.
Hundred Flowers Drunk could naturally only be drunk at Xishan Restaurant, but the focus was on the final few words, stating that Hundred Flowers Drunk was produced by Xianrenzui Distillery.
This allowed people to remember Xianrenzui Distillery very easily. Ling Zhenfei was very pleasantly surprised by the creativity in these ads. It seemed like the students Chen Qian found were quite capable.
When it was time for the flight to take off, Ling Zhenfei boarded the plane and quickly arrived at the Capital City.
After disembarking, Ling Zhenfei headed out, only to be recognized by fans as soon as he stepped outside.
Ling Zhenfei was quite surprised. Even with glasses, mask, and a hat, how did these people recognize him?
He signed autographs and took photos with them, then asked, "With my disguise, how did you recognize me?"
"We guessed."
The fans' response shocked Ling Zhenfei even more.
"You guessed? How did you guess?"
The fans replied, "Just by looking at your well-maintained figure, and the way you wear a mask, glasses, and a hat — it's the typical celebrity outfit. Most importantly, everyone knows you go out without an assistant or luggage."
The typical celebrity look without an assistant and luggage was the method they used to spot Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but sigh, "You guys are amazing. Looks like I'll really need to get an assistant in the future."
"Choose me; I'll be your assistant."
"Let me be your assistant; I can handle anything."
Looking at these young girls, Ling Zhenfei said, "You should focus on your own jobs."
After escaping the fans, Ling Zhenfei took a cab straight to Xishan Restaurant.
If there's a Xishan Restaurant in a city, Ling Zhenfei could easily head there as soon as he arrived.
No matter which restaurant, there would always be a small room reserved for Ling Zhenfei, waiting for him to return and stay.
Unfortunately, Ling Zhenfei had no immediate plans to open more restaurants domestically. Unless everything aligned perfectly, it's not a simple decision.
Logically speaking, there are many cities in the country with great potential, so the current few branches are definitely not enough.
But sometimes, it's not about quantity but quality.
Zhou Yun also mentioned to Ling Zhenfei that many people approached the headquarters of the Xi Shan Group, proposing to open restaurants in their areas.
These people who approached them offered good terms, of course, but Zhou Yun remained cautious about opening new restaurants.
Although Xishan Restaurant is currently very popular, if too many are opened, people might grow tired of it.
Ling Zhenfei actually still wanted to open a few more, believing that at least in first-tier cities, it's necessary to have restaurants.
Zhou Tong, after being busy with the Provincial City's Xishan Restaurant, went on vacation to Moergawa as per Ling Zhenfei's instructions and arrangement.
If another restaurant is to be opened, it will have to wait for Zhou Tong to return and personally inspect it.
Zhou Tong was once just a simple street hooligan, who even harassed women on the streets, but now he's become a sought-after figure in Xi Shan Group.
This transformation can't help but be attributed to the influence of the company he keeps.
Not only Zhou Tong, but also Luo Juan, Zhou Jian, Yang Zixuan, and others have seen changes thanks to Ling Zhenfei.
Without Ling Zhenfei, Zhou Jian might still be running a car repair shop in Binyang, perhaps already taken over by the Three Killers Club.
Luo Juan might still be running a real estate agency, barely making enough to save any money.
Yang Zixuan might have been fired by Lin's Group, and wouldn't be the manager of Xishan Restaurant's main branch now.
Life is indeed fascinating. One must believe in opportunities, but not excessively so.
Arriving at Xishan Restaurant just in time for lunch, the place had the usual long queues.
The long line consisted of all sorts of people.
As Ling Zhenfei walked past, he was unexpectedly recognized.
"Ling Zhenfei, it's Ling Zhenfei!"
A fan shouted in a loud voice, and suddenly he was surrounded.
It wasn't easy to leave now, and if it weren't for the security's timely response, it would have been difficult for Ling Zhenfei to get away.
