Chapter 62 Summary
Chen Fang, who came back from walking his dog, was very happy to see the arrival of several people. The filming of the first season of "Chinese Restaurant" is about to end today. Although it is a bit surprising to be able to come to so many good friends on the last day, it can be regarded as a family-friendly ending for this season.
After opening at noon, as the store manager, Qin Mohan decided not to open at night and held a barbecue party similar to bbq, inviting police nearby to patrol and provide security, some old customers who frequently visit restaurants, and several surrounding restaurant owners who were affected by Chinese restaurants robbing business.
Although this Chinese restaurant has been opened to the hands of several people, it does not mean that the restaurant will be closed. After the program "Chinese Restaurant" is broadcast, it can be foreseen that this place will definitely become a place for Chinese tourists to come to check in.
In order to maximize the profits, the Variety Show Department of the Wild Fox Company will hand over the operating rights of the restaurant to a chain restaurant company called Wangyunge, a Wangjiangtai Holdings, and authorize the other party to use the title of the Chinese restaurant and the two-year portrait rights of the program team guests to solicit business. The other party only needs to pay a certain authorization fee every year.
Since they came, they could not just sit there. Chen He was pulled by Chen Fang to greet guests at the door, while Chen Zhixi and Tong Lina were arranged to help in the store. Seeing that there were many people in the bar area, Chen Zhixi took the initiative to come to the kitchen to help Zhang Liang take care of the ingredients.
"When we came here, we were not here to work..." Although Chen He was so noisy, he was still pulled outside the door by Chen Fang. With the popularity of "Love Apartment" and "Running Man", Chen He was very well-known. Many tourists from China were extremely happy to see Chen He. As a comedian, he was also relatively relaxed. When taking photos with customers, he specially brought Mocha over. The two showed the same smile, which made the customers even more excited.
Seeing Chen He having a ease of communication among tourists, Chen Fang suggested when he waited for his side to calm down: "Chen He, how about you join the next season of "Chinese Restaurant"?"
Although he was very interested in Chen Fang's proposal, Chen He still did not agree directly and said arrogantly: "Unless it is for me to be a store manager, there will be no talks!"
Chen Fang gave him a blank look, then pulled Mocha over from it: "Tsk, it seems like I begged you. You don't know that the second episode played last night, our show's ratings have reached 2.5%. Maybe after the end of this season, we can break three."
Chen He couldn't help asking: "Why did you think of giving up such a good show? Does Mo Han agree?"
Chen He knew that Chen Fang did not boast. He could receive countless pushes about this program from the perspective of pushing his own mobile phone information. He knew that this variety show was a hit, and the second season would definitely receive more attention. At that time, no matter whether it is praise or criticism, it will become a hot topic.
"The proposal to replace someone was proposed by her. How could my wife stay in a show? I also think we have a good relationship, so I can help you, a team of five or six people, and I will give you half of the quota?"
Chen Fang didn't say the reason, and Qin Mohan was preparing to quit after the second season of "Running Man". Last time she saw Ruo Ruo celebrate her birthday, she was very moved. She wanted to give birth to a baby with Chen Fang, so all the work on hand was transferred one after another.
"Wow, that's OK. I'm going to choose a partner. The first season is so popular, so I'm under a lot of pressure in the second season." Chen He no longer refused. Since Chen Fang proposed to let him participate, he would definitely give him great support. In addition, he had just come out of Huayi and established a new company with a few friends, which was able to bring one or two newcomers through this show.
There are only ten tables of lunch, and it will end early. After the transfer to the catering company, it will definitely set its own supply based on the customer flow. This is not something Qin Mohan and others need to ask about.
After they announced that they had finished work, they began to make some fun in Xiang Island. Chen Zhixi and Tong Lina were very moved by her proposal to go snorkeling. They stayed there, Zhang Liang, Chen He, and Yu Xiaotong, four men, stayed in the restaurant to prepare for the evening party. Before taking it away, they emphasized that they would have a big meal to reward themselves.
"I want to go diving too, I don't want to stay here to prepare dinner. I'm here for vacation." Chen He looked at the backs of several beauties who were leaving, and couldn't help but follow him. Finally, he was pulled by Chen Fang and stayed.
"You just spoil her like this. Do you know that you are almost becoming the public enemy of men across the country. Most women use your attitude towards Qin Mohan to demand their husbands after getting married."
Chen Fang smiled: "Then there must be countless women standing behind me to support me. My support team is still very strong. Your Xu Jing is also one of my fans."
"Tsk!" Chen He looked at Chen Fang with contempt and pulled Zhang Liang, who was also married, to the supermarket, leaving Yu Xiaotong who was a little at a loss.
Yu Xiaotong looked at Chen Fang, looked at the two people in front of him, and finally decided to stand beside the boss to support him. The marriage was still far away for him.
Although Chen He expressed dissatisfaction with Chen Fang and Qin Mohan often showing off his dog food, you cannot deny that witnessing a perfect couple will have a great impact on the people around you.
When Chen He was filming "The Legend of the Clinic", Zhang Zixuan, who played the second female lead, once showed love to him, and Chen He, who was not firm in his will, also wavered. Later, after seeing the news that Chen Fang and Qin Mohan registered their marriage, he took back the half step he took.
A man’s loyalty to love and marriage is his duty as a man. No cheating can be done by making mistakes as an excuse. Moreover, as a public figure in the entertainment industry, such things must not be hidden. The examples of Pan Ming and Dong Qingqiu are right in front of him. When he collaborated with Pan Ming on "Detective Chinatown", Chen He sighed. In the past, Pan Ming and Dong Qingqiu were famous golden boys and jade girls in the entertainment industry, but now they are so decadent.
Since he opened BBQ at night, it was not suitable for Chinese food. At Zhang Liang's suggestion, several people bought a lot of seafood, steak, meat, vegetarian dishes for barbecue, and a lot of wine. Chen Fang also brought a few bottles of good wine from Cheng Yue's residence. This time it was an out-of-business party, and he decided not to feel wronged.
As the sun sets, four people who have prepared everything, half lying on the lounge chair on the beach, the amber whiskey in their hands is particularly deep under the reflection of the sunset.
Chen He raised the cup in his hand and shook it. The stainless steel ice stone hit the wall of the cup, making a crisp sound. After taking a sip, he recalled: "I never drank whiskey, but you were ruined. My Xu Jing said last time that I wasted it. It turned out that I just bought Budweiser, but now I bought Chivas and Jack Denny."
"If you want to talk to Jiujiu, why should Xu Jing be so swaying like this?" Chen Fang looked at his performance disdainfully, and when he saw that he wanted to speak again, he said directly: "No!"
Chen He, who was exposed, was not concerned and licked his face and said to Chen Fang: "Mr. Chen, Boss Shen, can you only give me a few bottles? Don't have more, just a few bottles."
"Don't make it like an angry little wife. You are also a big star now. You don't have money. Can't you buy some by yourself?" Chen Fang said unhappily: "At least you have another box."
Chen He, who has been familiar with Chen Fang since childhood, knows his personality. He usually won’t refuse others twice. So when Chen Fang finally reluctantly agreed to give him a box, he knew that the tactics were successful. He excitedly raised his glass to thank him.
Chen Fang turned his head and said to Zhang Liang and Yu Xiaotong who were lying on the other side: "This time you were recording the program, both of you performed well, especially Zhang Liang, who kept you busy in the kitchen. After you get back, I will arrange for someone to give each of you a box of wine to express your gratitude."
Zhang Liang, who was still envious of the relationship between Chen Fang and Chen He, was very happy to hear that he still had his own share. He and Yu Xiaotong hurriedly stood up to thank him. At present, everyone in the circle knew that there were not many people who could get wine from Chen Fang, and only if they could get his recognition would they get his wine.
Chen Fang signaled that the two of them should not be polite. Looking along the beach line to the distance, Qin Mohan and his group had returned. Although the beauties had changed back to casual clothes, they were still extremely cool. The wide sun hat and large sunglasses covered their faces. The loose T-shirt was tied up to reveal their tight waists. They paired them with hot jeans, making them look even more hot and tempting.
Chen He, who was not by Xu Jing, was even more whistled. He whistled at the few people, then picked up the whiskey that had been placed in the ice bucket and said, "Hi, beauty, do you want to have two drinks?"
"You are so embarrassed to borrow flowers to offer Buddha." Chen Zhixi, the oldest among the girls, directly expressed contempt at Chen He: "If it is your own wine, we will consider it."
Chen Fang saw a few people coming, and gave the position to Qin Mohan as the people cheered, and then came to the restaurant to take out a bottle of champagne that had been iced for them.
"Did you have some strength? Didn't you see Mr. Chen give up his seat?" Chen Zhixi came to Chen He and said to him, and then got a unanimous run by several other women.
"Chenfang, I despise you." Chen He stood up to protest amid the laughter of the girls, but he still consciously gave up his position to Chen Zhixi.
Zhang Liang and Yu Xiaotong also gave out their beach chairs respectively. It was time to open a party. They were about to get up to prepare ingredients. Tang Yixin and Jin Mengjia consciously helped them organize the grills and ingredients. Chen He moved out the indoor speakers. Although he couldn't sing, he often stayed in nightclubs and had a lot of experience in how to mobilize a party atmosphere.
Chen Zhixi said to Qin Mohan: "Thank you, Mohan. I didn't expect that we could catch up with this party. It's really not too pleasant to drink a glass of cold champagne on this beach."
-------------------------------------
The next morning, everyone had a tacit understanding and slept in a nap. Today, they were about to say goodbye to this beautiful island, and they felt a little reluctant.
It was not until 9:30 that everyone had finished washing and gathered in the living room on the first floor. In addition to Shenfang, they did the last oral sprinkle of "xx rice" and "xx yogurt", which was also an explanation for the two main sponsors.
Below is a summary of this season's program. Chen Fang is the shopkeeper who manages money and begins to report on the operation of this season's "Chinese Restaurant".
Although there were some twists and turns in the previous season and a lot of losses, it gradually entered a stable period later.
As the big shopkeeper, Chen Fang settled all income and expenditures, and withdrew the start-up capital, all profits were combined with 120,000 baht.
Qin Mohan couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow, so many? I didn't expect that we really have the talent to open a store."
Chen Fang couldn't help but hit her and said, "Don't be proud, this is gross profit. We have not removed the rent, water, electricity, and employee salaries yet? I'll do it for you."
"I learned about several nearby stores. Their monthly house is 40,000 baht. The water and electricity costs and sanitation treatment costs are about 20,000 baht every month, which is half of it. A normal store opening requires a reserve of 30,000 baht as a development fund for depreciation of store assets, and the remaining 30,000 baht is the salary of the six of us. Accommodation costs must also be included."
"Fifty, sixty, and thirty, that is, five thousand yuan per person is not bad." Qin Mohan reached out and calculated, and just got the answer, he suddenly remembered: "No, five thousand baht is only one thousand yuan, which means that each of us is only one thousand yuan."
Everyone who was still happy about this number was a little sad when they heard Chen Fang's calculations.
Qin Mohan explained to everyone: "Don't vent our anger. We only sell ten tables of dishes per meal. Most of the time, there are obviously customers for a few days, but we don't have any hospitality, otherwise our income can still double."
"Sister Mo Han, even if it doubles, it won't be much." Jin Mengjia continued glutinously from the side.
Qin Mohan said to everyone: "It doesn't matter, we are promoting Chinese food for the sake of the China Belt and Road Initiative. Through this program, we have deeply understood how hard it is for Chinese people who make a living overseas. They leave their hometowns and work tirelessly to spread Chinese food to all over the world, and can only make meager profits. We can only say to them: Thank you for your hard work."
Several others followed Qin Mohan and shouted slogans: "Thank you for your hard work!"
Chen Fang secretly gave Qin Mohan a thumbs up. With her summary, the intention of the show stopped. Even after the broadcast, many people complained that they lost money and gained publicity, and they could fight back with force.
The following were divided into six people, each with 20,000 baht. This was their own income from their labor, even Chen Fang was no exception. However, his money was taken away by Qin Mohan. When Shen Fang wanted to snatch it, Qin Mohan threw a sentence: "Men should not take care of the money." Then he ran out of the living room and met Gu Xuan and others.
Even if this season's program ends completely here, Wang Tian and others will stay on Xiang Island to hand over the handover with the local government. The managers of Wangyun Pavilion, a subsidiary of "Wangjiangtai", have arrived. They will not only place these few dining tables like recording a program. They will also use the platform on the second floor, which can entertain at least 80 guests at the same time, and maximize the utilization rate of the restaurant.
These had little to do with Qin Mohan and others. They visited Bangkok for a day, then went to Phuket for a walk, and did not return to China until July 20.
