Chapter 709: Internet cafe prices have increased!
Lin Yuzhen pushed the menu away and said expressionlessly, "You guys order whatever you want. I'm fine with anything. I've never eaten at such a high-end place before, so I don't know how to order."
Lin Dezheng felt that these words were meant for him. Thinking about the seemingly glorious but actually miserable days in the Yang family over the years, he felt very uncomfortable. Now that he has set up his own business, the shackles in his heart have been removed. Hearing Lin Yuzhen's words, he felt even more guilty.
For the sake of money and power, he became a son-in-law in the Yang family, who was looked down upon by everyone. Even the son he had raised for twenty years was not his own. However, his biological daughter and original wife suffered poverty and hardship here, and had never even been to a high-end restaurant. You know, when they were in the Yang family, they looked down on eating at places of this level and disdained to come.
Lin Dezheng didn't dare to say anything, and said to Lu Shi and others with a smile: "Come on, come on, then you guys can have some. You young people know the taste. Eat whatever you want without looking at the price."
"Uncle is so nice."
"Thank you, uncle."
Several girls smiled brightly.
At this moment, Lin Dezheng's cell phone rang. He looked at the number and his expression changed slightly. He said to Lin Yuzhen apologetically, "My dear daughter, you guys order first. I'll go answer the phone."
Seeing Lin Dezheng leaving, Jiang Yuxiang persuaded Lin Yuzhen: "I feel that your father's attitude is quite sincere. Why don't you just forgive him? Besides, he is a wealthy man now. You won't suffer any loss if you agree to it."
Lu Shi also said: "Yes, you see he has been so humble, he must have fully realized his mistakes, just forgive him."
Xun Xuerui also sighed, "Yes, no matter what mistakes uncle made before, he has changed now, right? It is a great help to know one's mistakes and then improve. After all, he is your father, and we will be together for a long time in the future. We should all be considerate of each other."
Facing her roommate's persuasion, Lin Yuzhen still had a cold face and said dissatisfiedly: "Humph, if you want to recognize me, go ahead and recognize me."
Jiang Yuxiang teased, "I would like to admit it, but I'm afraid your father won't agree."
Xun Xuerui also laughed and said, "That's right. Having such a handsome and rich father would make me wake up laughing even in my dreams."
Although I really don’t understand what kind of gap there is between Lin Yuzhen and Lin Dezheng, filial piety still occupies a large proportion in cultural tradition. Therefore, everyone has the basic concept of "persuading reconciliation rather than complete separation". Being able to promote family harmony is a merit.
Faced with the persuasion of several close friends and roommates, Lin Yuzhen was very conflicted, but her face showed no signs of easing.
Lin Yuzhen pouted and said, "You guys weren't hired by my dad to act as lobbyists, were you?"
Lu Shi immediately denied it: "That's impossible, I just met your father for the first time today."
Xun Xuerui said: "Yes, before today we didn't know you had such a handsome father."
Jiang Yuxiang sighed and said, "I can understand your feelings. After all, you just experienced something like that last month. But after all, blood is thicker than water. You can't be angry for a lifetime. Think about your aunt. She has been waiting for this day for so many years..."
As he was talking, Lind Zheng pushed open the door of the box, walked in, and asked kindly, "How is it? Have you ordered everything?"
Lin Yuzhen grabbed the menu and said loudly, "Let me order."
Lin Dezheng was very happy when he saw it, and said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, you come, waiter, order the dishes!"
A waiter came in with an intercom, and Lin Yuzhen said, "Order me the ten most expensive dishes you have."
The waiter was slightly stunned. He glanced at the young people and found that they were all dressed very ordinary. He asked uncertainly, "Are you sure?"
Lin Dezheng frowned slightly and said, "Just prepare as my daughter said."
"Okay, wait a moment."
The waiter bowed deeply again and then left the box.
The moment she closed the door of the private room, she took out the intercom and whispered, "Security Department, check if the guests from Private Room 02 Qianshancui have driven here... Audi A8, then it's okay. Prepare to serve the food, they ordered the ten most expensive dishes on the menu."
In the private room, Jiang Yuxiang took the menu and looked at it. She immediately said with horror, "Xiao Zhenzhen, this is too much! Ten dishes cost more than 7,000 yuan!"
After all, this is Beijing, and Lin Dezheng brought everyone to a Michelin-rated restaurant, and the ten most expensive dishes in the restaurant, 7,000 yuan is not expensive at all. But this price is too shocking for several college students who have not yet graduated.
Lu Shi exclaimed, "What? Seven thousand yuan? That's too expensive! My living expenses for a semester are not even that much."
Lin Dezheng said lovingly, "It's not expensive, only 7,000 yuan. If there's anything you're not used to or don't like, you can always order more. Don't worry about the money."
Lin Dezheng's words once again gave everyone a small shock. At the same time , Lu Shi and the others were extremely envious of Lin Yuzhen.
With such a rich father, there is no knot in my heart that cannot be untied.
Under Lin Dezheng's financial offensive, the three roommates tried their best to liven up the atmosphere, and overall the party was a great success.
After dinner, Lin Dezheng sent everyone back to school. When Lin Shuyi was about to enter the dormitory building, Lin Dezheng stopped her and said, "My dear daughter, can you wait a moment? I want to talk to you alone."
Seeing that the father and daughter wanted to be alone, the other three quickened their pace and left.
Lin Yuzhen didn't want to pay attention to Lin Dezheng, but after eating today's meal, she also saw that Lin Dezheng's attitude was indeed very humble. Thinking of Zhu Xintong who raised her independently, she pursed her lips and finally stopped, but her tone was still cold: "What are you talking about?"
Lin Dezheng said, "After you ran out of the house that day, your mother and I were very worried about you. Fortunately, your mother said that with Lu Yiming here, you should be fine. Later, your mother told me that you lived in Lu Yiming's villa in Bi Hai Long Ting during those days, which reassured me. I heard that you and Lu Yiming were classmates in high school, and it seems that you have a good relationship."
Lin Yuzhen didn't know why Lin Dezheng said this, but she originally thought that Lin Dezheng wanted to ease the relationship. After hearing what Lin Dezheng said, she couldn't help but get even angrier and said in a stiff tone: "What do you want to say?"
Lin Dezheng said, "It's like this, isn't Lu Yiming the actual controlling shareholder of Tongxin Internet Cafe? Now the company is planning to transfer. Since you are classmates and you are his contracted artist, can you help me discuss this cooperation?"
When Lin Yuzhen heard this, she suddenly realized what was going on. She laughed instead of being angry: "Okay, I said that you suddenly came to my house, you must have something else to ask for. It turns out that your request for my forgiveness was fake. Your real purpose is to go to Tongxin Internet Cafe, right?"
Lin Dezheng was a little embarrassed when his daughter exposed his thoughts in front of him, but he still explained: "My dear daughter, please don't misunderstand me. I really want to be a good father. As for coming to you for help, isn't it for our family? Aren't you going to inherit my family business in the future? Helping me is helping yourself."
Lin Yuzhen originally thought that Lin Dezheng's gesture was a sign of genuine repentance and a desire to build a normal family. In her heart, she was already weighing whether or not to agree to Lin Dezheng's request. After all, she was extremely filial to Zhu Xintong, and as long as Zhu Xintong was happy, she felt that she could accommodate him.
Now, Lin Dezheng's true colors have been revealed. He was pretending to be a righteous man and was actually using her to negotiate business with Lu Yiming!
Lin Yuzhen suddenly felt as if a large basin of cold water had been poured over her head, chilling her to the bone.
Looking at Lin Dezheng again, the smile on his face was so hypocritical.
Although it was a sunny day, Lin Yuzhen felt cold all over.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
She felt deeply disappointed with Lin Dezheng.
She screamed.
"Get out!"
"Get out of here...get away from me now, I don't want to see you again."
Many people around were startled and looked sideways.
Where had Lin Dezheng seen Lin Yuzhen so angry? He originally thought that Lin Yuzhen and Lu Yiming had such a good relationship, maybe they had done something, and such a small favor could be done by Lin Yuzhen without much effort?
Seeing that someone seemed to be coming this way, Lin Dezheng didn't dare to say anything more. He started the car directly and asked before leaving: "Remember to ask for me."
"roll……"
Lin Dezheng didn't dare to stay any longer and drove away. Seeing Lin Yuzhen crying and making a scene, one might have thought she was abandoned.
You know, this is a media college, so there are too many scenes like this.
Lin Dezheng was afraid that he would be besieged and would be unable to defend himself.
Lin Yuzhen returned to the dormitory in a daze.
The three people in the dormitory were discussing today's lunch with great interest. When they saw Lin Yuzhen's tearful eyes, they were suddenly shocked.
Several people looked at each other, and finally Jiang Yuxiang came to Lin Yuzhen and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"
"nothing."
Lin Yuzhen waved her hand and then lay on her bed like a salted fish.
As the saying goes, "There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart." Lin Yuzhen now doesn't want to talk about anything about Lin Dezheng. She feels very disgusted with Lin Dezheng's purely business-like attitude.
For some reason, she thought of Lu Yiming again.
We are all doing business, why is there such a big gap?
Lu Yiming never talks about business, and it is even more impossible for him to use his relatives as bargaining chips to do business with others!
With her eyes open and looking at the ceiling, Lin Yuzhen's mind was filled with Lu Yiming's shadow.
She recalled the scene when she and Lu Yiming had an argument in Zhu Hanwen's house. It was at that time that Lu Yiming began to rise.
She recalled the scene when Lu Yiming rushed to rescue her with people after she was kidnapped.
She recalled how Lu Yiming slept in the same bed with her after she was rescued but did nothing.
The more she thought about this last point, the angrier she became. She was a little annoyed why Lu Yiming didn't take action at that time.
Then, she began to doubt herself.
Am I not charming enough?
All kinds of messy thoughts filled my mind, and I was so tired that I fell asleep without realizing it.
Looking at the sleeping Lin Yuzhen, several roommates couldn't help but start a discussion.
"What do you think happened to her? Did she have a fight with her dad?"
"That's probably it. Hey, I don't know what happened in her family. Didn't she always say she didn't have a father? Now a father suddenly appeared, and he's so handsome and rich."
"She will be rich and beautiful in the future. I'm so envious."
"Hey, do you think she acknowledges this father?"
"How could I not admit it? He can spend thousands of dollars on a meal. Anyone who doesn't admit it is a fool."
Although Jiang Yuxiang knew about Lin Yuzhen's kidnapping, she couldn't do anything at the time. After she told Lu Yiming what she knew, she was sent home. Therefore, she still didn't know the situation at Lin Yuzhen's home.
"Okay, both of you stop talking. This is Lin Yuzhen's family affair. Outsiders have no right to interfere. We've been classmates for four years. Don't you know Lin Yuzhen's temper? She is a very independent girl with her own ideas. We should stop worrying about her."
When Lin Yuzhen woke up, it was dark and the dormitory was pitch black. The other roommates were not in the dormitory.
The darkness enveloped Lin Yuzhen like a tide, making her feel very lonely.
She had so many things to say, but she didn't know who to talk to.
Suddenly, she thought of Lu Yiming.
She didn't know why she thought of Lu Yiming, but she inexplicably felt like telling Lu Yiming these words.
She groped for her cell phone in the dark and called Lu Yiming.
"Hello, Lu Yiming."
Lu Yiming heard Lin Yuzhen's voice and joked, "What's the matter? You called me so late, are you suffering from insomnia so you want me to sing a nursery rhyme to put you to sleep?"
After hearing Lu Yiming's frivolous voice, Lin Yuzhen felt much better. She burst into laughter and said, "Who wants to listen to you sing? You are tone-deaf and your singing is terrible."
"How could that be? I sing beautifully. Just listen. I'll love you till I die..."
"Stop, stop, stop. Don't speak among us."
Lin Yuzhen couldn't help but hold the phone farther away and said, "My dad came to see me today and invited me and my roommate to a meal at a high-end restaurant."
When I heard that Lin Yuzhen and Lin Dezheng went out to eat, I thought the relationship between father and daughter had eased, so I asked, "Are you going to recognize each other as father and daughter?"
"He wishes!"
Lin Yuzhen thought of Lin Dezheng's impure motives and became furious.
"I will never forgive him in my life!"
Lu Yiming said with a smile: "You are really awesome, he is a wealthy man. You two recognize each other, and you will be a wealthy woman in the future."
Lin Yuzhen said angrily: "I don't care, I can make money myself."
Then, Lin Yuzhen said, "He came to me for dinner because he wanted me to ask you if the prices of your Tongxin Internet Cafe could be lower."
Lu Yiming couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "He came to me before, but we couldn't come to an agreement on the price. So, is he planning to come to you to persuade me?"
After hearing this, Lin Yuzhen felt ashamed and angry, and scolded: "You are going to die, what pillow wind, there is northwest wind, do you want it?"
After getting angry, Lin Yuzhen said to Lu Yiming: "I think it's best if you don't sell it to him. Lin Dezheng is a profit-seeking person and he definitely has no good intentions."
Lu Yiming said playfully, "Hey, they say a daughter is a father's little cotton-padded jacket, but your little cotton-padded jacket is full of black cotton. How can you be so ungrateful? But, hey, you said that as if I had good intentions. Don't worry, if he really wants to buy it, I will definitely cheat him to death and help you vent your anger."
Hearing Lu Yiming's words, Lin Yuzhen felt sweet for no reason. Whenever she was lonely and helpless, Lu Yiming always seemed to have a way to make her happy.
After finishing the call with Lu Yiming, Lin Yuzhen felt much better and said, "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to sleep. Good night."
"Good night."
After leaving school, Lin Dezheng went straight home and waited quietly for Lin Yuzhen to write back to him.
He felt that although Lin Yuzhen looked very angry, she would definitely help him.
As a result, as time went by, he saw that the business of Tongxin Internet Cafe was getting better and better after the renovation, but Lin Yuzhen never called him, and he suddenly became restless.
Now a large number of illegal Internet cafes have been rectified, and regular Internet cafes like Tongxin Internet Cafe that hold Internet cafe licenses have become more and more valuable.
Because of the incident in Beijing, the approval of Internet business licenses has been stopped nationwide. Many self-employed people who want to open Internet cafes have been blocked. Even multiple ministries have jointly issued a notice requiring local governments not to approve new Internet cafes, and chain franchising is not allowed.
As the competent authorities do not relax the control, Internet cafe licenses naturally become a scarce resource.
Internet cafes like Tongxin Internet Cafe, which have an "Internet Culture Operation License", have naturally become big fat meat and a popular commodity in the eyes of everyone.
What’s even more terrible is that as Li Quanwang continued to spread the word, more and more people wanted to find Lu Yiming to buy Tongxin Internet Café, and the price even started to rise.
This made Lin Dezheng anxious and angry.
I have to get up early and arrive late!
Lin Dezheng waited anxiously for many days, but finally he could not sit still any longer and went to find Lu Yiming again.
"Boss Lu, what's going on?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "I've been eating well and sleeping well recently. Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your concern."
Lin Dezheng was secretly complaining in his heart: Am I really caring about you?
He wanted to strangle Lu Yiming who was still pretending to be stupid, so he had to bite the bullet and ask, "Boss Lu, what do you think about the Tongxin Internet Cafe?"
Lu Yiming suddenly realized: "Ah, Mr. Lin, you are asking this? I have considered it, and I will sell it to you at a fixed price of 1.6 billion."
When Lin Dezheng heard this, he felt his scalp tingling: "Boss Lu, this is not right. Didn't you say 1.5 billion before?"
Lu Yiming said as a matter of course: "Well, I said 1.5 billion before, didn't you, Mr. Lin, not agree?"
Lin Dezheng: “???!!!!”
