Chapter 574 It’s easy to get together and part ways
After leaving the hotel, Suning did not go home, but just called home to report his safety, and then went to a breakfast shop on the street to eat. He really enjoyed himself last night. After all, he had been suppressed by "Master Jingbai" for too long, and then Suning could finally eat to his heart's content.

After having a hearty breakfast, I realized it was already past nine o'clock. I then went to the main store of "Fanlou", but I saw that Lin Youyou hadn't arrived yet. I looked at a waiter curiously and asked, "Xiao Liu, is your store manager Lin taking a day off today?"

"No! Mr. Fan, something happened at Manager Lin's home. It seems her husband was in a car accident and is in the hospital." The waitress Xiao Liu answered based on the information she knew.

"Oh? Is her husband seriously injured?" Su Ning felt a little surprised.

"Yeah, I heard it's very serious."

"Okay! I get it, then go to work!"

In fact, the "Fanlou" head office has always been lacking a manager. The original manager of the hot pot restaurant was one of the shareholders, so he had left the hot pot restaurant at that time. However, Suning did not hire a new manager later and was planning to arrange Lin Youyou to do it.

When Suning heard that something happened in Lin Youyou's family, he directly transferred a store manager from another branch to the head office, and then arranged for Lin Youyou to be on personal leave. As for when she can come back, she will have to wait until Lin Youyou makes her own decision. I believe Lin Youyou will contact me soon.

Among the four "Fanlou" hotpot restaurants in Nantong, the main store is the most popular. This may be because there is a star-rated hotel next to it. Many guests from star-rated hotels come to eat "Fanlou" hotpot.

"Fan Shengtang?" A surprised and puzzled voice sounded.

"Huh? Who are you?" Suning looked at the man in front of him with some confusion. Judging from his clothes, he should be an employee of the star-rated hotel next door.

"Brother Fan, I'm Zheng Song, Fan Shengmei's classmate!" The man introduced himself with a smile.

"Ah? I remember now, Shengmei asked you to help me find a job!" Su Ning quickly remembered the man's identity and shook hands with him.

"Haha, yes! Brother Fan, what are you doing?" Zheng Song looked at Suning with some confusion.

"Zheng Song, the reason I didn't go to work at your hotel last time was because I found my current job at a hot pot restaurant." Suning explained casually.

"Haha, this is great. It will be much more convenient to eat hot pot in the future." Zheng Song said with a smile pretending to be surprised.

"Yes! I'll give you a VIP card later, and you can get a 20% discount next time you come." Suning also made the arrangements with a smile.

"Haha, thank you very much, Brother Fan."

"Well, I won't disturb you while you eat. I'll go over there and take a look first." Su Ning and Zheng Song exchanged greetings for a while, then took the initiative to say goodbye.

"Brother Fan, go get busy then!"

Suning rarely stayed in one store for a long time. Instead, he often patrolled between various stores. Today, Lin Youyou was not in the main store due to something, and the newly transferred temporary store manager was not familiar with the situation here, so Suning stayed here for a while. He didn't expect to meet an acquaintance by such a coincidence.

Zheng Song finished his hot pot quickly. Just as he raised his hand to pay the bill, the waiter beside him handed him a VIP card and explained with a smile, "Mr. Zheng, your bill has been paid."

"Ah? Is that Mr. Fan Shengtang?" Zheng Song looked at the waiter in front of him in surprise.

"Yes!"

"Beautiful girl, is Fan Shengtang from your store?" Zheng Song looked at the waitress with some confusion.

"Mr. Zheng, Mr. Fan is our boss." The waiter replied with a smile.

"Your boss? Pretty girl, are you sure?" Zheng Song couldn't help but feel shocked.

"Yes! That's why our store is called Fanlou."

Zheng Song was speechless at this time. A few months ago, Fan Shengmei asked him to find a job for Fan Shengtang. Unexpectedly, a few months later, Fan Shengtang suddenly became the owner of a chain hot pot restaurant. This was too unbelievable.

No matter how unbelievable Zheng Song was, he still accepted Suning's kindness, and then left "Fanlou" with the VIP card given to him. Looking at the still crowded "Fanlou" hot pot restaurant, Zheng Song showed an obvious expression of envy.

That night, Suning received a call from Lin Youyou, then bought a fruit basket on the roadside and drove to the hospital where they were. Suning and Lin Youyou had worked together for almost a year, and this was the first time she saw her husband, and it was on the hospital bed.

Seeing Lin Youyou's husband trying to get up from the hospital bed, Su Ning quickly stopped him and said, "Mr. Wang, you're covered in wounds. Don't sit up."

"Mr. Fan, thank you for coming to see me. I heard from our Youyou that you take good care of her." Lin Youyou's husband lying on the hospital bed looked at Su Ning gratefully.

"Mr. Wang, you're welcome." Su Ning responded with a polite remark, then explained with a smile, "It's not really a favor. After all, our company is just starting out, and we really need catering talent like Manager Lin."

"Mr. Fan, I may need to take a leave for a while." At this time, Lin Youyou said to Suning with a worried look on his face.

"Well, no problem. Is Mr. Wang's injury serious?" Su Ning nodded in agreement first, then looked at Lin Youyou in confusion.

"Mr. Fan, the injuries from the car accident are not serious, but this time other problems were found, which may be very troublesome." Lin Youyou explained with a wry smile on her face, but she was a little hesitant in her words.

"Well, Manager Lin, then you can just stay home and take care of Mr. Wang. You can come back to work when Mr. Wang recovers."

"Thank you, Mr. Fan." Lin Youyou and her husband on the hospital bed looked at Su Ning with gratitude.

"You're welcome! Manager Lin, if you have any difficulties, you can ask the company for help."

"Thank you, Mr. Fan. We will definitely help if you need us."

The three of them exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then Su Ning left the hospital. No matter what, Lin Youyou was an important employee of "Fanlou", and as the boss, he really needed to come and visit her. However, when he saw the hesitation of Lin Youyou and her husband just now, he realized that Lin Youyou's husband was seriously ill.

Everyone has to go through many hardships in this world. Suning did not interfere too much in other people's private affairs and believed that they could solve them perfectly. After all, this kind of human tragedy is too common.

Now all the work focus of "Fanlou" is placed on seizing the Jiangsu market, and Fanlou Cultural Catering Company has played a perfect role and started to implement Suning's plan in an orderly manner.

With the support of Mr. Wu's connections, the expansion of "Fanlou" can be said to be smooth sailing. It soon opened branches in other cities in Jiangsu, and then entered the catering markets of these cities with an invincible attitude.

Suning did not adopt the overwhelming advertising model of "some bottom fish" in the real world. Instead, it focused on the quality and taste of the dishes, as well as the service and word-of-mouth fermentation, because it believed that this would be more sustainable.

Suning operates the "Fanlou Culture" restaurant not for the purpose of packaging it for public opinion effects and then quickly listing it on the market to make money, but because it truly wants to build a business.

When Su Ning returned home after a busy day, he saw "Master Jingbai" looking rather absent-minded. Judging from the expressions on Fan's father and mother's faces, he guessed that "Master Jingbai" had definitely been up to no good again. "Mom, did something happen at home again?" Su Ning asked Fan's mother, looking puzzled.

"No! Don't let your imagination run wild." Fan's mother tried to explain herself without meaning it.

"Hmph!" "Master Jingbai" on the side had a gloomy expression on her face.

"Mom and Dad, take little Leilei back to sleep!" Suning, who understood everything, arranged for Mr. and Mrs. Fan to go back to sleep.

"Okay! You guys should go to bed early too!"

Su Ning first went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then returned to his bedroom, only to see that "Master Jingbai" still had a gloomy face. She then said to Zhao Qianzi in a cold voice, "Zhao Qianzi, did you quarrel with my mother again?"

"Yeah! What's the matter? Can you, Fan Shengtang, eat me?" Zhao Qianzi was like a shrew at this time.

"Zhao Qianzi, let's go get a divorce tomorrow!" There was no emotion in Su Ning's voice.

"What? What did you say? You want to divorce me?" Zhao Qianzi widened her eyes in shock.

"Yes! Our current relationship is too twisted. Both of us will feel very uncomfortable. Divorce will make us both feel more relaxed."

"Fan Shengtang, you actually want to divorce me?" Zhao Qianzi looked at Su Ning with some disbelief.

"Zhao Qianzi, don't throw a tantrum with me yet. Listen to me first." Seeing Zhao Qianzi about to start arguing with him again, Su Ning hurriedly explained his compensation conditions. "As long as you agree to divorce me, I will give you all the 200,000 yuan I've saved during this period. In any case, you won't suffer any loss."

"Two hundred thousand?" Zhao Qianzi was a little tempted.

"Yes! You can take your time to think about it, and you'd better give me an answer tomorrow." Suning explained nonchalantly as he lifted the quilt and went to sleep.

"Who will the child belong to?" Seeing Su Ning's cold attitude, Zhao Qianzi was completely moved.

"Zhao Qianzi, it's not convenient for you, a woman, to take care of the child. It's better to leave it to the Fan family."

"Okay! We'll get a divorce tomorrow, as long as you give me two hundred thousand."

"Don't worry! I, Fan Shengtang, keep my word."

In fact, as soon as Su Ning traveled to this world, he had the idea of divorcing Zhao Qianzi. Unfortunately, he could never find an opportunity and he really couldn't bring himself to bring it up. In the end, he took the initiative to bring it up.

Two hundred thousand was still very tempting to Zhao Qianzi, so she was indeed tempted. She had long known that Su Ning disliked her, otherwise she would not have to wear a blindfold every time. This was also the reason why she kept looking for trouble and always felt aggrieved and depressed.

The next day, Su Ning took Zhao Qianzi to the Civil Affairs Bureau. When they both came out of the bureau, they both couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was obvious that neither of them was satisfied with this marriage.

"Zhao Qianzi, this is a bank card with 200,000 yuan. The password is Xiao Leilei's birthday. I believe you should be able to remember it." Suning took out a bank card and handed it to Zhao Qianzi.

"Hmph! Fan Shengtang, it seems you have made a lot of money this year!" Zhao Qianzi said with a sneer after taking the bank card, a little surprised at Su Ning's decisiveness.

"Zhao Qianzi, this is all my savings. I hope we can part ways amicably." Looking at the moody woman in front of him, Su Ning couldn't help but give another reminder.

"Hmph! Don't worry! I'll go back and pack my clothes and leave in a moment."

At this time, Fan Shengmei has already moved into the Ode to Joy apartment. Her two roommates are not Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer, and the owners of the other two rooms are not Qu Xiaoxiao and Andy. After all, the story has not really begun yet. She is the first heroine to live in "Ode to Joy".

At this time, Fan Shengmei's life was much better. After all, there was no "Adou" who could not be helped. Her clothes and outfits were very exquisite every day, and she was not so eager to marry into a wealthy family. However, she was not in a hurry to find a boyfriend. Instead, her vision became more picky.

"Sister Fan, have you bought new clothes again?" A roommate looked at the clothes on Fan Shengmei in surprise.

"Yes! It's just an old model from last year. Seeing that it's on big discounts recently, I bought it reluctantly." Fan Shengmei explained nonchalantly, but her face looked very proud.

"It's an old model from last year, but it's also an international brand!" My roommate was still extremely envious.

"Well, don't be envious. Once you have established yourself in Shanghai, you can buy some big-brand clothes occasionally." Fan Shengmei understands these newcomers very well.

"Sister Fan, our current salaries are not high, and after deducting the housing cost, we don't have much left. It's really hard to survive in Shanghai." Another roommate who had been silent said with a wry smile.

"Well, everyone has been through this before. Anyway, hard work always pays off."

"Ding-ling-ling!" Suddenly, the cell phone rang, and Fan Shengmei answered the call in confusion.

"Mom, has something happened at home again?" Fan Shengmei's voice revealed her nervousness.

"Shengmei! Your brother and your sister-in-law are divorced." Fan's mother's anxious voice came from the phone.

"What? Why do they want to divorce? Didn't you say last time that they had a good relationship?" Fan Shengmei couldn't help but feel surprised.

"Yeah! Your dad and I don't understand it either. I had a fight with your sister-in-law yesterday, and they got a divorce today." In fact, Fan's mother is also confused now.

"Mom, don't think too much. They definitely didn't divorce because of the quarrel between you and sister-in-law. They must have their own conflicts." Fan Shengmei was very clear-headed and had guessed that Su Ning and Zhao Qianzi had a conflict.

"Shengmei, why don't you come back and persuade your brother?" Fan's mother was at a loss at this time, so she thought that Fan Shengmei could come back to take charge of the situation.

"Mom, they've already divorced. Do you think there's any need to reconcile?" Fan Shengmei explained with a wry smile.

"Shengmei, what should we do? We can't let your brother be without a wife, right?" Fan's mother was completely panicked.

"Hmph! Mom, it's my brother's own fault that he doesn't have a wife. I thought he had improved a bit, but I didn't expect him to still be so out of touch." Fan Shengmei's tone was full of disappointment and anger.

Fan Shengmei had not been harassed by her family for more than a year and was pleasantly surprised to think that her elder brother had become successful. She did not expect that he would now cause trouble and even lead to divorce. At this point, Fan Shengmei was completely disappointed with her brother.
