Chapter 331 The World of Luoluo
Ouyang Ziqian has never come back. No matter for the New Year, the festivals, Xia Xiaoluo’s birthday, or his family member’s birthdays, he didn’t come back. But he kept sending gifts back, and he did not completely lose track with his family.
When Xia Xiaoluo knew that Ouyang Ziqian wouldn’t come back, she felt very sad.
“It’s up to him! Anyway, the university he is going to is one of the best ones in the world. As long as he can come back by twenty-five years old and work in the family business, that’s all right.” Ouyang Feng said. Although he wanted his grandson to stay with him, he also respected his grandson’s choice. He hoped that his grandson could experience himself outside.
When Feng Manni knew that her son wouldn’t come back to study, she was very upset. She stared at Xia Xiaoluo. She decided in her heart that she had to drive Xia Xiaoluo away before Ouyang Ziqian was twenty-five years old. That’s enough for her. Because she would not allow anyone to fight with Ouyang Ziqian when he took over the family business at the age of twenty-five.Read more new novels on ReadNovelFull.com
Ouyang Feng even did not have a rest at noon, he took Xia Xiaoluo to see the restaurant he gave her in the afternoon.
On the way, Xia Xiaoluo asked.
“Grandpa, what is our main business?” Xia Xiaoluo asked, “Western food or Chinese food?”
“What do you think? Which is more profitable?” Ouyang Feng asked.
Xia Xiaoluo thought for a while, “Western food is more acceptable by local students, but I don’t know how many Western restaurants are there in the university. If there are a lot of western restaurants, a Chinese restaurant will be unconventional. Let’s check the environment first!”
“Good! Very good! My granddaughter is intelligent and talented!” Ouyang Feng said with a smile.
“Grandpa, I have not made up my mind yet, but you praise me like this. It’s not good!” Xia Xiaoluo pouted her mouth and said.
“It’s right not to make a decision right now. If you decide whether to open a Chinese restaurant or a Western restaurant now, I will be disappointed.” Ouyang Feng still smiled.
“Why? Grandpa, I don’t understand!” Xia Xiaoluo shook her head.
“Because you know that you should think about it before you make up your mind, and you are not in a hurry. You should run your business on the basis of reality instead of your own fantasy. What you said just now shows that you know you have to do the research before making a decision. This is a very good innate quality! Very good, you have the high-quality pedigree of our family. So, you are destined to be excellent. Xiaoluo, I believe you!” Ouyang Feng was lavish in his praise his granddaughter.
“Grandpa, I want to eat the food in all the restaurants in and around the university before I make the decision!” Xia Xiaoluo said.
“It’s much better!” Ouyang Feng said with a smile. “I will accompany you to eat them together! I have told you before, I am retired now, so I have a lot of time. I will be your best adviser.”
“Grandpa, that’s very kind of you.” Xia Xiaoluo was very happy.
When they arrived at the university, Ouyang Feng took Xia Xiaoluo to the restaurant of more than three hundred square meters. Of course, Ouyang Feng had the ability to buy a big one, but he considered that Xia Xiaoluo was a beginner. And she had to study and take care of Taotao, so her energy was limited. However, the most important thing was that a small restaurant will be easier to operate and easier to succeed. Once Xia Xiaoluo was successful, she would be more confident. At that time, he would give Xia Xiaoluo more opportunities, and then she could do better.
“The World of Luoluo!” Xia Xiaoluo was very satisfied with the name of the restaurant. “I like it!”
“That’s good! I know that you like simple things, and I want the name of the restaurant relate to your name, so I made the decision for you.” Ouyang Feng said.
“Grandpa, thank you!” Xia Xiaoluo was very happy.
“Grandpa, let’s eat the western food next to our restaurant today!” Xia Xiaoluo said.
“Let’s eat it tomorrow! Let’s go home now! I ate too much at noon, I will eat with you tomorrow. Could you just listen to me this time?” Ouyang Feng said with a smile, because today he had other arrangements.
“All right! Grandpa, you must eat with me tomorrow! You can’t go back now.” Xia Xiaoluo did not refuse.
In the evening, there was a party in the manor of the Ouyang family, in order to celebrate the success of Xia Xiaoluo. Xia Xiaoluo finally knew the reason why Ouyang Feng didn’t want to eat with her outside.
Xia Xiaoluo was very happy, because she was going to become the owner of a restaurant, she was confident with her study too.
After the investigation of more than half a month, Xia Xiaoluo finally decided that she would regard Chinese food as the main business. But the restaurant also served simple Western food. During this period, Ouyang Feng was helping her to find the chefs and waiters secretly.
Because the restaurant was not bad, and Ouyang Feng had redecorated it after he bought it. So the restaurant opened before Xia Xiaoluo started to go to school.
But since most of the students were on their vacation, the business was not good for the first few days. Only a few students who stayed at school came to eat here, but Xia Xiaoluo was still enthusiastic, she was confident about the future of the restaurant.
“Xiaoluo, the school is about to start. The promotional discounts should be arranged now.” Ouyang Feng suggested.
“But there’s still a week! If I prepare the food now, it will all go bad at that time.” Xia Xiaoluo said.
“Little fool, I mean that you should ask your staff to prepare for it mentally. You should make some discount cards and make a plan for the activities.” Ouyang Feng continued to suggest.
“Well! I see. For the opening of the restaurant and the start of the school, the Chinese students will enjoy a 30% discount. Everyone who spends more than 100 yuan, will be served with a special Spicy Diced Chicken for free.” Xia Xiaoluo said without thinking.
“The idea of promotion is generally good, but there is a fatal problem.” Ouyang Feng said.
“Ah? Why?” Xia Xiaoluo was a little confused.
“This is the question I ask you. You should think about it by yourself. If you really can’t work it out, I will tell you the answer later. But today, I won’t tell you. You have to think about it for at least twenty-four hours.” Ouyang Feng said. He wanted to train his precious granddaughter.
“Well, let me think about it!” Xia Xiaoluo was still confused.
At dinner, the guests were all foreign students. Xia Xiaoluo served them, and then she suddenly understood.
At that time, Ouyang Feng has already returned home. After all, he was an old man. Although he could stay at the restaurant for a few hours every day, he couldn’t stay there for too long.
Xia Xiaoluo went home hurriedly and found Ouyang Feng.
“Grandpa, grandpa…” Xia Xiaoluo rushed into Ouyang Feng’s study.
Ouyang Mingyu was there, too. He asked with a smile, “Xiaoluo, why are you so urgent? Why don’t you see your son first when you get home? Why do you come to see your grandpa now?”
“Uncle, grandpa asked me a question, I have thought about it all day, but finally I understood it.” Xia Xiaoluo said excitedly.
“Oh? Is that true?” Ouyang Mingyu had already known this. “Then tell me! I want to see whether you are right!”
“My promotional idea is wrong. I shouldn’t say that only the Chinese students could receive a discount. Although there are a lot of Chinese students in the school, the foreign students in the university are the biggest group. If I only give discounts to the Chinese students, I will lose a bigger market. I couldn’t just rely on the Chinese students. I want all the students in the university to be my guests.” Xia Xiaoluo expressed her idea.
“You are worthy of being taught!” Ouyang Mingyu said with a smile.
“Anything else?” Ouyang Feng asked.
“What’s more, if I only give discounts to the Chinese students, the other students may misunderstand that our restaurant has racial discrimination. If they come to make troubles, it would be even worse.” Xia Xiaoluo said.
“Very good, Xiaoluo. I am satisfied with your answers.” Ouyang Feng nodded.
“Yes!” Xia Xiaoluo made a victory sign.
“Grandpa, uncle, I am going to think about my promotional plan in details.” Xia Xiaoluo stuck out her tongue after she finished, and then she rushed out.
“Father, Xiaoluo would have a bright future.” Ouyang Mingyu said, “I think that after a few years, when Xiaoluo’s knowledge and experience are accumulated, she must be the pillar of support when she works in our family business.”
“She must be!” Ouyang Feng was also very satisfied with Xia Xiaoluo’s progress.
Xia Xiaoluo hadn’t seen Taotao for the whole day, so she went to see her little baby Taotao first before she was going to write the plan. When Taotao saw Xia Xiaoluo, he called her “mommy, mommy” immediately.
“Wow, my son, my baby, you can call me ‘mommy’. You’re great!” Xia Xiaoluo held Taotao in her arms, she was so excited that her tears were coming out.
“Mommy!” Taotao kissed Xia Xiaoluo’s face, they looked very intimate.
“Taotao is really obedient!” Xia Xiaoluo kissed the pink face of Taotao. “Taotao, today is the first time for you to learn to speak, and it is the first time for you to call me ‘mommy’. I am so happy!”
Xiao Lan also smiled, “Taotao is so clever. He begins to learn how to speak when he is less than one year old.”
“Miss Xiaoluo, it’s also my contribution! These days, I don’t know how many times I have taught the Little Sir ‘mommy’ every day. So he could call you ‘mommy’ today!” Susan began to take credit, too.
“Well, it is all because of everyone’s help! I’m too busy. I was busy studying before and now I have to work in the restaurant. In order to show my gratitude, I will cook for you personally, okay?” Xia Xiaoluo was very happy.
“Mommy!” Taotao saw that Xia Xiaoluo seemed to go, so he called her again.
“Taotao my big guy, just play with Little Grandma Xiao and aunt Susan first. Mommy will play with you after cooking.” Xia Xiaoluo kissed Taotao again, and then she went to the small kitchen.
Soon, five dishes were on the table. Xia Xiaoluo invited Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Mingyu to come over. They were happy together.
Ouyang Feng was complaining, “Taotao, call me great-grandpa! Usually, when your mom is busy, I am the one who always played with you. How could you learn to call her ‘mommy’ first, instead of calling me ‘great-grandpa’?”
“And your great-uncle, I also love you very much. I bought the clothes you are wearing now when I went on a business trip in F Country!” Ouyang Mingyu was unhappy as well.
“Grandpa, uncle, Taotao will call you, but he has to study it slowly.” Xia Xiaoluo said and kissed Taotao who was in her arms again. “Is it right? Taotao!”
“Taotao is obedient, call me ‘great-grandfather’!” Xia Xiaoluo taught Taotao.
“Mommy!” Taotao called Xia Xiaoluo again. It seemed that he couldn’t say anything else.
All the people in the room laughed, and Taotao also laughed. Only Feng Manni did not come, she was in her room alone. She was thinking about the perfect long-term plan about how to drive Xia Xiaoluo away.
