Chapter 572 Fanlou Culture and Catering Co., Ltd.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Fan Shengmei is under tremendous pressure. After all, this is Shanghai, the economic capital of China. However, Fan's father and mother choose to turn a blind eye just to indulge their good-for-nothing son, Fan Shengtang.

In fact, it was difficult for Suning to finish watching the entire drama "Ode to Joy". He felt that the characters in it all had some serious depression. Maybe the big guy An Nai wanted to express the tragedy of the world, but he put on a cheerful coat. It's just that Suning always felt a sense of depression.

After finally making it to the end of get off work, Fan Shengmei went to the bank first and transferred this month's money to her mother. Then she painfully discovered that she had become a "pauper" again, and the kind of super "pauper" who was living a miserable life.

"Mom, I have already transferred this month's money back." Fan Shengmei suppressed the feeling of suffocation in her heart, and then called her mother with a forced smile. Only "Alexander" could experience and understand the pain in her heart.

"Ah? Shengmei, your brother doesn't let your father and me ask for your money. He said he will support us himself." Fan's mother's low explanation came from the phone.

"Ah? Mom, my brother would say something like that?" Fan Shengmei on the other end of the phone showed an expression of disbelief.

"Yes! Your brother has done well for himself now. He doesn't want others to laugh at him, so he doesn't let us ask you for living expenses anymore." Mother Fan explained with a smile on her face.

"By the way! Mom, what kind of job does my brother do now?" Fan Shengmei asked another question because she thought her mother's words were too fantastical.

"Huh? I can't really explain it, but it seems like he's partnered with someone in business and isn't involved in those shady things anymore."

"Mom, where did my brother get the money to partner with others? I hope he didn't borrow money from loan sharks, or was cheated by others." After hearing the explanation from Fan's mother, Fan Shengmei did not relax, but became nervous instead.

"Shengmei, don't worry, your brother only works hard but doesn't pay, he won't be cheated by others."

"Ah? That's not bad." Fan Shengmei finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked about the relationship between her brother and sister-in-law, "Mom, how is the relationship between my brother and sister-in-law?"

"That's great! Your sister-in-law is so radiant every day now that I don't even need to ask her for breakfast. It's a blessing for our Fan family to marry your sister-in-law."

"Ah? Mom, is your sister-in-law by your side now?" Hearing these words from Fan's mother, she felt as if she was being coerced, because she was completely different from the sister-in-law she knew.

"No! Your sister-in-law is taking care of the children in the house!" Fan's mother explained helplessly.

"Huh? Mom, why does it feel like you were threatened with a knife when she said these words?" Fan Shengmei said with a helpless smile.

"Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about! Your sister-in-law is fine now, it's not as exaggerated as you say."

"Mom, I just hope you can be safe at home."

"Well, you have to take good care of yourself when you're alone in Shanghai, and don't go home too late every day."

"Ah?" Fan Shengmei was stunned for a moment when she heard her mother say this to her for the first time. "Mom, I can take good care of myself."

After hanging up the phone, Fan Shengmei's ears were still ringing with her mother's intimate words. It felt as unreal as a dream. She had never heard her mother's concern since she was a child, so she was stunned for a moment with surprise.

The relationships in the original family are so complicated. The idea of raising children to provide for old age has long been deeply rooted. Children take the love from their parents for granted, and of course some parents also take the filial piety from their children for granted. Therefore, it is sometimes difficult for both parties to reach a mutual understanding.

The three "Fanlou" branches in Nantong MixC, Wanda, and Wuyue have been opened. The central kitchen of "Fanlou" supplies all the raw materials and dishes at the first time, and then ensures that all "Fanlou" branches maintain the same standards as the head office.

Because Suning has used the most standardized system from the beginning, all four stores of the one headquarters, three stores and three branches have achieved healthy development, and the four stores can always be kept full. The most important thing is that the reputation of "Fanlou" is still fermenting.

Every day after "Fanlou" closes, the financial department of "Fanlou" Cultural Catering Company will come to hand over the sales revenue to the cashier. This also prevents the cashier from tampering with the account and lays the foundation for the future expansion of the company.

As soon as Suning came out of his office, he saw that the manager of the main store, Lin Youyou, had not left yet. Instead, he waited until the cashier and the company's finance department had finished handing over the sales revenue and both the cashier and the finance department had left the main store before he prepared to leave the main store.

"Manager Lin, why haven't you left yet so late?" Suning called out to Manager Lin with a smile.

"Mr. Fan, you haven't left work yet? I was just waiting for the handover between the finance department and the cashier." Manager Lin explained to Suning happily.

"Well, you've worked hard. Do you have time to have a drink together?"

"Okay!"

After locking the door of the "Fanlou" main store, Suning took Lin Youyou to the barbecue restaurant in the food court next door. After ordering some barbecue skewers, they asked for a dozen Dafu beers.

Su Ning and Lin Youyou drank beer and ate their skewers. Soon, the restraint between boss and employee disappeared. Lin Youyou asked Su Ning with a hint of meaning, "Mr. Fan, why didn't I see your wife come to the store?"

"My wife is at home taking care of the kids."

"Ah? Mr. Fan, how many children do you have?" Lin Youyou widened her eyes in surprise, and then asked Su Ning with some confusion.

"A boy! Four or five months old."

"Haha, then it's quite late for you, Mr. Fan, to have a child." Lin Youyou said with a surprised smile.

"Not really! It's mainly because I got married late. It was quite difficult to find a wife back then."

"No way! Mr. Fan is such an outstanding man, he is still very popular with girls." After hearing Su Ning's teasing explanation, Lin Youyou was obviously a little unconvinced.

"Haha, there's a difference between playing and responsibility. Very few people are willing to take responsibility."

"Huh? Mr. Fan makes sense." Lin Youyou nodded thoughtfully.

"Lin Youyou, actually, in my opinion, the relationship between men and women is just like that. It's just a game where both parties get what they want." Suning is very open-minded about the relationship between men and women.

"Uh?"

"Lin Youyou, you should have noticed that our company is a very formal catering enterprise. Nantong is just our starting point, but it is definitely not the end. As long as you work hard for "Fanlou Culture", you will definitely have a bright future."

"Mr. Fan, I understand what you mean." Lin Youyou is also a smart person who has seen a lot of ups and downs, and he quickly understood the meaning of Suning's conversation.

"Haha, I'm glad you understand. I still have high hopes for you." Suning nodded with a smile.

"Mr. Fan, thank you for your respect and cultivation. Youyou would like to offer you a glass." Lin Youyou picked up the bottle of wine and said to Suning generously.

“Haha, fuck!”

Suning is not a young man who has never experienced matters between men and women. He is well aware of Lin Youyou's constant "flirting". Today, he said these meaningful words during the barbecue, just to make the relationship between the boss and the employees purer and not mixed with some unnecessary things.

Fortunately, Lin Youyou is very smart and easily understood what Su Ning meant. I stopped imagining things and causing trouble. After all, work is more important. Without the Fan family's excessive demands on her, Fan Shengmei's quality of life has improved dramatically. She bought a new dress today and feels that this is the life she wants.

"Fan Shengmei, did you buy new clothes?" The sharp-eyed colleague looked at Fan Shengmei in surprise.

"Yes! I have had my eyes on this dress for a long time, and today I gritted my teeth and bought it." Fan Shengmei said with a somewhat proud smile.

"Wow! This seems to be Prada's new model this year? Fan Shengmei, you have suddenly become rich!" Colleagues said in surprise as they looked at the clothes on Fan Shengmei.

"Yeah, I feel really bad too. It looks like we'll have to live in poverty again."

"Oh! I would rather eat dirt every day than not want the latest Prada." Women's mentality is always so complicated.

"Sisters, no matter what you say or say, you must pay attention to the things I ask of you!" Fan Shengmei said to her colleagues seriously while enjoying the envious looks from them.

"Don't worry! If I find a suitable house, I will definitely introduce it to you."

Recently, without the harassment and demands from the Fan family, Fan Shengmei's life has become much easier, and she has thought about moving to a new house. After all, she currently lives outside the 18th ring road of Shanghai, and commuting to and from get off work is still a very painful thing.

"Fan Shengmei, what kind of house are you looking for?" A colleague asked Fan Shengmei curiously.

"Apartment! Clean! Good property management service! Roommates who are easy to talk to, preferably women!" Fan Shengmei listed a series of requirements, but other colleagues were not surprised, because these were the normal demands of their workers.

"Oh! It's so difficult to find a house in Shanghai now. I dream of living in Tomson One." One of my colleagues said with a sad sigh.

"Yeah! If you encounter a brainless roommate when renting a house, life would be worse than death." A colleague quickly responded.

"Fan Shengmei, I know a community called "Ode to Joy". If you have time, you can go and check it out in person." The colleague who had just asked Fan Shengmei if she had any requests suddenly said to Fan Shengmei.

"Ode to Joy?"

"Yes! Last time I went to the 'Ode to Joy Apartment' to visit an old classmate, and I felt that the environment there was really good, and all the conditions met our needs. As for the issue of roommates, it depends on your luck." The female colleague explained with a smile.

"Sister Rui, thank you! I will go and take a look tomorrow when I have a day off." Fan Shengmei looked at her colleague with gratitude. It was really difficult to find a house that suited her.

"You're welcome! It's just a little effort."

After the last barbecue conversation, Lin Youyou's work attitude improved a lot, and she no longer flirted with Suning intentionally or unintentionally. Only then did Suning show a satisfied expression.

Suning is not Liu Xiahui who can remain calm even when a woman makes him beautiful, but for a small catering business like this, there is really no need to impose unspoken rules on employees. It is better to leave the moral bottom line to more worthy women to break.

Because the "Fanlou" cultural catering company was already on the right track and he was a boss of moderate size, he bought himself a high-end car for transportation, which was much more comfortable than riding that small electric scooter.

When Mr. and Mrs. Fan saw their son driving the car, they couldn't help but express their surprise. "Shengtang, is this the car your boss gave you?"

"That's about right! Mom, do you want me to take you for a ride?" Suning explained casually, then suggested with a smile.

"Okay!"

"Dad, Mom, how about this, let's go out for dinner as a family tomorrow!" Seeing his surprised parents in front of him, Suning smiled and made arrangements.

"Alright! Take little Lei Lei out for a walk."

"Master Jingbai" also looked at Suning with a smile on her face. It felt like Suning had become a different person. Except for being particularly passive at night, everything else was perfect.

At night when everyone was resting, "Master Jingbai" attacked Suning, who was wearing a blindfold, again, and she never got tired of it. But she soon felt a little bored. After all, happiness without response is not real happiness.

"Fan Shengtang, could you please stop being like a dead fish and give me some reaction?" "Master Jingbai" complained to Su Ning while sweating profusely.

"."

The woman in front of him was so insatiable. Her physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary people. Logically, she should be secretly happy, but "Master Jingbai" was still not satisfied. She never knew how to cherish the things she got, and even expected things she never had. It seemed that her desires were endless. Suning satisfied one of her desires, and soon another new desire appeared.

"Fan Shengtang, if you're not dead, please take a breath."

"Qian Zi, can you please give me some peace of mind? I'm busy with work during the day, and I have to endure your annoyance when I come home at night. Can you just let me rest for a while?"

"Huh! Fan Shengtang, what kind of job are you doing out there right now?"

"There was a boss who opened a restaurant. His business was so big that he didn't have time to manage it himself, so he handed it over to me to manage."

"Ah? Then you are the manager of this restaurant?" Zhao Qianzi looked at the man with an eye mask in front of her with surprise.

"Huh? That's about the same!"

"Shengtang, I have a cousin who is still unemployed in the countryside. Why don't you arrange a foreman position for him?"

"Zhao Qianzi, I'm also a worker. Do you think my words will work?"

"You're the manager of the hotel! Who wouldn't dare listen to you?"

"Zhao Qianzi, your cousin is so naive. Can he be a restaurant supervisor?"

"Idiot! If you don't use your rights, they will expire! Why do you care if my cousin is stupid or not? You should get benefits for our family as soon as possible, so that you won't regret it when you get fired later."

"I'm sorry! There's nothing I can do." Su Ning couldn't stand Zhao Qianzi's nonsense, so he angrily covered himself with the quilt and turned over to sleep.

"Hmph! You are really useless." Seeing that Su Ning no longer paid attention to her, Zhao Qianzi turned around and went to sleep angrily.

Suning was so angry that she was shaking all over. She wondered if all women had this mentality. Couldn't they just live a peaceful life? She had to keep messing around, putting useless "hats" on her man, and then dreaming that she could always ride on his head. It was really unreasonable.
