Chapter 47
Chapter 47
In the charity auction that night, Su Qiao's unique clothing did not attract much attention.Because the final focus falls on the auction turnover, and the person who took the most items on the day.
At the Sujia in Jincheng, Su Guoan took an auction of a total of 5000 million collections in his own name at the beginning of the show, and said that all the auctioned items will be donated again.
The 5000 million bids are all for charity purposes, not for the auction items themselves.
Su Qiao sat next to Luo Yunshen. Whenever Su's father raised a placard, his heart would constrict. On the one hand, he felt that his father, who spent a lot of money on charity, was handsome, and on the other hand, he was terrified by the huge amount of money.Although he was well-off since he was a child, his consumption concept is quite ordinary, and he hardly spends a lot of money.Due to Su's father and Su's mother's education, Su Qiao is not a third-generation dandy and rich. Seeing 5000 million out of the house, she was still a little shocked.
I opened my own shop, and I know better how hard it is to make money. To Su's father, 5000 million may only be part of his property, but to Su Qiao, it is indeed a lot.
Surprised, he said to himself, "What's going on?"
Su Qiao didn't know the specific value of the lot, he didn't know about it, and he didn't have the vision.But I remember Luo Yunshen said that this kind of auction will not have too many good things, and the value is not very high.
Su's father took less than ten items, and they took them continuously, not picking at all, and the prices were quoted at higher prices.Although it is for charity, it is too much fanfare, and it does not match the previous style of conduct.
It's a bit... weird now.As if doing it on purpose.
He was unconsciously distracted, and subconsciously tugged on the zipper of the down jacket, thinking hard.But after all, his head was not enough. After thinking for a few minutes, he had no idea, so he turned his eyes to Luo Yunshen who was on the side.
"This is part of the plan." Luo Yunshen explained to him, without elaborating, only briefly mentioning it. "It will help Dad restore the company's reputation in the future."
Su Qiao was taken aback: "So it's not just for charity?"
Luo Yunshen did not expect that his first reaction would be this. After a pause, he said: "No. But all the money will be used to help out-of-school children, deliver materials to mountainous areas, build schools, etc. No matter what the starting point is, the fact is that , there are many people who will benefit from this charity event.”
Merchants value profit, and the essence of this charitable activity is nothing more than exchanging money for good reputation.
But even so, at any rate, it can be regarded as doing practical things and being able to help those who are really in difficulty.
Of course, Su Qiao didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but she didn't expect to clarify the company's reputation.He was eager to try, looked at the auction items on the stage, and asked in a low voice: "Then I want to take one too? Will the news say that the Su family and his son are working together to help charity?"
He even thought of the title, and said it very fluently and rhymed.
Luo Yun pondered deeply, and then said: "On the news, there will be live photos."
Su Qiao was stupefied when she heard the words, and said angrily, "...Forget it then."
It's not okay to post photos. His hair is messed up, he's ugly, and his clothes are ugly.This appearance is mixed among a group of people in formal suits, like a strange person who went to the wrong set.
Being put on the Internet is a public execution, a social death scene.So embarrassing.
Luo Yunshen took photos of the aquamarine jewelry and seeds listed on the previous auction list, and there was nothing else to catch the eye, so he stopped raising the placard.
With Su's father, the opening was a blockbuster, and the atmosphere afterwards was very lively, and the final transaction price of many auction items was higher than the estimated price.After the charity gala ended, Su's father was invited to make a final confirmation, because the total amount was too large and some procedures needed to be followed.
Luo Yunshen also met someone in the business field, and the other person seemed to have something to say, so he walked a few steps aside.
Su Qiao didn't want to listen, she stood by and looked around, and suddenly found a familiar figure at the far exit.
It's Su Yu.
Parents are still inside, why did he run out?
Su Qiao suddenly became alert and felt something was wrong.He said he was going to the bathroom, and followed quietly.
He was afraid of being discovered, so he didn't dare to get too close. Seeing Su Yu's figure disappearing to the left, he slowly walked to the exit of the venue and looked out.
The night was dark, Su Qiao relied on the white spot on the collar of his shirt as a sign, and saw Su Yu walking to the side of the empty security booth.That place is a little more conspicuous, with fluorescent strips pasted on it.
From a distance, he couldn't see clearly what Su Yu was doing there, nor could he hear his voice clearly.
Su Qiao pursed her lips and thought for a while, then turned on the phone to call up the recording interface, put on her hat and went out.
His down jacket is black, and when he zipped it up and put on his hat, he was basically invisible at night.If you don't move around or make a sound when you get nearby, there is a high probability that you won't be discovered.
Step by step, she walked to the distance where she could hear the movement. Su Qiao looked around and found a trash can, then squatted down beside her and hugged herself with both hands.In this way, it only looks like a black shadow, bulging, and you can pretend that you are a big bag of garbage that has been discarded, and eavesdrop on it openly.
"The matter of the foreign inspection team is true, but the contract has not yet been finalized." Su Yu said. "It's still uncertain about the final shipment quantity, I only know that it will be sold at a lower price."
"That's more or less the same," said another voice.
Su Qiao recognized it, it was Song Wenxing.
"...Why are you asking this?"
"Nothing." Song Wenxing said. "I have my plan."
Su Yu was silent for two seconds, and asked him: "Are you ready for the next step? When the company's reputation bottoms out later on, you must immediately mobilize people in the same industry to join forces to boycott, and you can't hold back."
"I know. The conditions are as agreed before, and I have received all the certificates. I will not go back on my word." Song Wenxing's voice was sarcasm.
Su Qiao: "..."
He sprained his ankle in shock and almost fell to the ground.Fortunately, he stabilized in time, did not make any noise, and tightly covered his mouth to prevent himself from being accidentally exposed.
This news was caught off guard. How could Su Qiao never expect that these two people had already obtained their marriage certificates?
... He doesn't even have a Little Red Book himself.
Thoughts were a little off, Su Qiao tried her best to get rid of this inexplicable desire to win and concentrate on listening to their speech.
"Don't put on such a reluctant look, you agreed to marry yourself." Su Yu said. "Otherwise, who of us can rest assured?"
Song Wenxing sneered: "I promised you to get married, but you don't want to have anything to do with me."
Su Yu laughed lightly when he heard such words.He shook his head and said, "You can give up the person you like for a little bit of shares in the Su family, why do you think that you will never play tricks with me for other interests? You have to understand, I can not only help you get the Su family You can even help you win over the Song family's property. Your cousin... is not easy to deal with, right?"
Song Wenxing was speechless.After a long while, he became angry and said, "How much better are you yourself than me? The Su family has raised you for so many years, and you dare to tell them about one thing you did?"
Su Yu took a deep breath, his expression gradually darkened.
What he hates most is that someone says "The Su family has raised you for so many years" in front of him.
From childhood to adulthood, everyone who knew that he was adopted would say in a teaching tone: The Su family has raised you for so many years...you must be filial when you grow up, and repay your kindness.
Doesn't he know?
Of course he knew that the Su family had raised him.
Therefore, in the eyes of others, it becomes that he owes the Su family.
He has to be sensible in everything he does, he has to think carefully, and he has to become a person who knows how to be grateful in the eyes of everyone.
In high school, I studied science that I was not good at, and studied hard day and night, because the grades must be good, so that others would not feel that it is "not worthwhile" to support him; Go to work in Su's company; even now...he has not been able to get rid of this huge shadow.
The things of the Su family are not his, but he belongs to the Su family.
He knew that in Su Guoan's plan, half of the company's shares were for himself.
But that's because Su Qiao is not interested. What if one day, Su Qiao becomes interested in the company's affairs?So what else can he get?
Su Yu had greed, unwillingness, and resentment in his heart, but he was sober.He knew he was a mean man.
"Of course I'm no better than you." Su Yu said. "But the most ridiculous thing about you is that you think you are deeply affectionate."
……
Su Qiao squatted next to the trash can, and finally waited for the two of them to leave before moving her joints and walking into the venue with her frozen hands.
Although the body is cold and stiff, but the heart is unprecedentedly excited.
This time he recorded the conversation between Su Yu and Song Wenxing, if necessary, as long as he showed it to his parents, he could prove that Su Yu was not in the right mind.With this evidence, no matter how much precautions are taken, he will never reach the point of his previous life.
Back in the venue, Luo Yunshen had just finished talking with the person, when he saw that the person came in from the outside, he frowned and said, "Didn't you mean to go to the bathroom?"
Su Qiao scratched the base of her ears, and when she saw someone beside her, she whispered, "Well... go get some air."
After staying in the cold air for a while, his face was still cold, so he didn't turn red because of this lie.
This was probably the first time Su Qiao lied without blushing.
Luo Yun looked at him deeply, and asked without saying anything, "Are you hungry?"
"Hungry." Su Qiao rubbed her stomach, and asked without waiting. "I want to eat barbecue."
The three timeless giants in the food industry are barbecue, hot pot and barbecue.If you don't eat for a while, you will feel greedy, and if you eat frequently, you will feel tired.
The environment is not as elegant as that of high-end restaurants, and the dishes are exquisite, but there is a sense of intimacy that can be found everywhere in ordinary life.
The special flavor created by the sizzling oil and smoky fire on the charcoal fire is the essence of barbecue.But now many barbecue restaurants don't use charcoal fire, and the grilled ones are more or less meaningless.
Su Qiao looked at the time, her eyes sparkled: "There is a barbecue stand near the school, and the taste is not bad. Let's go there to eat? It happens to be close to home."
Luo Yunshen naturally agreed: "Okay."
……
At the same time as the two went to the barbecue stall, the fact that the Su family sold a total of 5000 million at the auction had also been uploaded on the Internet.
Some time ago, many people were concerned about food poisoning, so when they saw Su Guoan's identity introduction in the news, they immediately contacted him.
Originally in Jincheng, it was not uncommon for 5000 million yuan to be sold at an auction. Who didn't collect some of those antique calligraphy and paintings?There are also those who made a special trip to auction the posthumous works of famous masters. The sky-high price of hundreds of millions is not unusual, and some private collection transactions are so large that they will not be reported in the newspapers.
The 5000 million this time can attract so much attention. The point is that the items photographed are not that valuable at all.Moreover, Su Guoan personally promised that all auction items would be donated again.
In other words, the 5000 million yuan was donated purely for charity.
This move has also reversed the direction of some online public opinion.Under the news, a group of people were already arguing.
[Is this a show?The food safety problem of this company was just exposed, and then donated 5000 million?Want to use charity to clean up? 】
[So the food safety problem has been solved? 】
[Not to mention anything else, 5000 million is a real donation.Even if it's a show, it can help a lot of people.No matter what the starting point is, no one thinks that donations are wrong, right? 】
[This seems quite conscientious... and the person who exposed the food poisoning has not come out to respond. I thought it was abnormal. Looking at Dong Su's style now, he doesn't look like a person who ignores the overall situation for a small profit. 】
[Anyway, I think the matter is confusing. The person exposed a medical examination form, and then there is no follow-up. Instead, a group of sailors are talking nonsense, with an attitude of trying to put the "poison can" label on.The official statement came out early, and they were willing to take all the responsibilities. As a result, the person concerned didn't reply a word. Is this normal? 】
[Let's discuss the facts, donating to charity is commendable, but the issue of food safety is always in doubt.If the quality cannot be guaranteed, I will not buy it in the short term. 】
……
The online quarrel was in full swing, but it was much better than the one-sided condemnation before.All the trends of public opinion were expected by Luo Yunshen. The next step was to use the most direct and effective means to prove that the food produced by the Su family was absolutely fine.
Before that, we have to wait for Song Wenxing to jump into the trap completely.
early december suji
Inside and outside the false fence, customers lined up, rubbing their hands together to keep warm, and praying to get into the store quickly.
In such a cold season, the team can stretch so long, which is really unexpected.Some young customers took out their mobile phones to take a photo, or posted a small video online to pass the time.
A customer who was brought by a friend to the store for the first time stood there for ten minutes, a little impatient.
"Is this restaurant really so delicious? You didn't lie to me, did you?" A young boy said. "Nowadays, these Internet celebrity shops like to make gimmicks. How could there be such a long line...A lot of people are babysitters, right?"
He looked back and forth, trying to find out who was "acting suspiciously".
The companion coughed twice, signaled him to shut up, and said in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense. Why did I lie to you, to lie to you that you have money? If it weren't for the deliciousness of this restaurant, I could bring you here? You will know when you eat , It’s true, it’s really a fairy restaurant.”
The boy was dubious, and asked again: "Then how long will this line have to wait?"
The companion looked at the figure in front of him, and estimated, "It will probably take more than an hour."
Boy: "..."
"Are you teasing me for more than an hour? How can you still be in the mood to eat after waiting in such a long line?" the boy said. "Forget it, just find a restaurant with decent taste, and there will be a seat when you enter the store. Isn't there one diagonally opposite? How's that place?"
The companion looked in the direction he pointed, and shook his head immediately: "It's not that I haven't been to Song Shi Ji, and it's not bad to be honest...but it's not very delicious. Put Su Ji here, the team I'm not stupid if I'm halfway in line to go over there."
The boy was speechless, looking back and forth between Song Shi Ji and Su Ji, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the decoration diagonally opposite was much more luxurious than here, and there were fewer people, so there was no need to line up.
How much difference can there be in taste? Aren't these small restaurants all the same?The more I talked about it, the more mysterious it became. I don't know what kind of kickback Su Ji gave.
He was complaining in his heart when someone patted his shoulder suddenly.
Looking back, it was a middle-aged man.
"What's the matter?" the boy asked.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I have a discussion with you. Didn't the little brother just want to go to the opposite side for dinner? That's the way to go. The two of you go to Song Shi Ji, and I will pay for lunch."
The boy asked suspiciously, "Why?"
It's definitely not a good thing to be in a hurry to give money. He had heard before that there were such wretched middle-aged men who coveted the strong bodies of young college students...
Seeing the boy's expression becoming more and more vigilant, the middle-aged man hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean anything else, I just thought that if you don't eat here, I can move two places forward. Anyway, it's not short of the money. Of course, it's better to enter the store earlier. good."
Boy: "..."
The boy teased his companion, a little tempted.
Free lunch, don't want it for nothing.Where to eat is not to eat, it is rare to meet such a rich local tyrant who is stupid and rich, and earns a meal for nothing.
The companion was unmoved, showing a kind of gentleman's integrity indifferent to foreign things, and only cared about counting how many people were ahead.
The boy also recalled it now, thinking that if someone is willing to spend such a large amount of money to move two positions forward, then maybe this store is really good?
He thought, but gave up the idea of leaving.
There are not a few customers like this. They often come to Suji once, and they will never forget the dishes here.Most of the food reviews posted on the Internet are full of exaggerated praise, which makes people feel as if they are marketed.
However, since its opening, Suji's word-of-mouth reputation has been astonishingly good. Relying on the comprehensive praise of almost all four and five stars, it has risen to the first place in the must-eat list of regional gourmet food in a short period of time.
This has finally attracted the attention of the Jincheng Food Association. After all, the Food Association has in-depth cooperation with Dianping.com, and the selected Top 10 will place advertisements on the Dianping software. This kind of public evaluation index is also a very important factor.
Su Ji has a lot of good reviews on Dianping.com, and the time to get reviews is very short.People can't help but question, are these evaluations real, or just brushed out?
In order to ensure the authority of the Top 10 selection, the Gastronomy Association privately arranged for the judges to come and find out.
The middle-aged man in the team was one of them.
