Chapter 176 Dog Man and Woman
A few hours later, a Chinese restaurant on the pedestrian street.
Huang Xu looked at Huang Wenfu, who had a dark face after the inspection, and quickly poured him a glass of water.
"Uncle, you've finished reading it, so don't be so sullen. Besides, if their business is not doing well, you can't blame us?"
"It's not Xiaoxu, I just can't figure it out."
Huang Wenfu looked at Huang Xu with a puzzled look on his face.
"I just can't figure out why people like them who know nothing about catering dare to open a restaurant and don't ask for professional help."
"Uncle Haha, this is a common phenomenon."
Huang Xu laughed out loud when he heard his uncle's complaints.
After communicating with my uncle about the company's affairs this morning, he took me to inspect their franchise stores.
The initial idea was to let Huang Xu take a look at the situation of the franchise stores and see if there was any way to solve the problems encountered by those stores that were not doing well.
But the final result of the inspection made Huang Wenfu a little depressed.
In addition to those stores that really have problems due to their geographical location and the surrounding target customer groups, there are also many stores that suffer from sparse customer flow purely because of poor management by the operators.
Even saying that they are not good at management is to praise them. It can be said that they know nothing about running a hotel.
This is not a problem, after all, as long as there is a reliable store manager, or even just imitate their direct stores.
But after joining, some people don't know how to do it themselves and still manage it blindly, which causes the hotel's business to fail.
This is why Huang Wenfu is so angry.
Huang Xu, on the other hand, was a little surprised by this scene.
In his previous life, he saw many cases where people who knew nothing about catering invested large sums of money just after listening to some people's propaganda.
Even his previous life was actually one of these people.
Without Zhang Rui's help and experience working in a hotel, the hotels he joined would have inevitably gone bankrupt and liquidated.
Therefore, Huang Xu does not find it strange that these stores are experiencing problems.
Even this is a problem that many franchise chains must face.
However, this was the first time Huang Wenfu had seen this kind of situation, and since he was a chef and had a background in a restaurant, he kept complaining about these people until the food was served, and then he slowly stopped.
Even so, he still kept explaining to Huang Xu while eating.
"Xiao Xu, next time we open a pickled fish franchise store, we must be more cautious in choosing franchisees. We can't let these novices do it anymore."
"Don't worry, uncle, there will definitely be no problem next time."
Huang Xu also saw his uncle's obsession, so he had no intention of rejecting his suggestion.
But it was only a superficial agreement, but when the time came to open the franchise, the specific steps were beyond my uncle's control.
In fact, their franchisees have also gone through strict screening before being finally selected.
Of course, the strictly selected franchisees are only those in the first round. Those people basically have experience in catering and will be selected as the first round franchisees.
After all, Huang Xu still needs them to help his chain franchise become famous. Naturally, he is afraid that these people are not capable enough and the business will not be good, which will affect his franchise plan.
As for the stores they saw today that were not doing well, they were basically franchisees who were allowed to join in the second round.
For this round of joining, Huang Xu's purpose has changed. They no longer need to become famous, they are just the targets to be cut off.
Therefore, as long as money is given, they can open the franchise and no longer review experience issues. Even the inspections of many locations are much looser.
This is also the reason why so many stores have poor business.
However, Huang Xu didn't intend to talk to his uncle about this. Anyway, it was not up to him to decide what to do at that time.
The most important thing is that the next pickled fish franchise store will be fundamentally different from this spicy hotpot.
Because according to Huang Xu's plan, pickled fish franchise stores only need to use their semi-finished cooking packages, and restaurants only need to heat them and provide rice.
And because the customer group we face is the low-income group in Seoul, the sales price will be very low.
Then the guests' requirements for hotel management will be much lower, and there will be no problems caused by the operators.
After the two of them finished eating, Huang Xu drove his uncle towards the company in his car, and then the uncle and nephew returned to the apartment in Longshan.
Compared with Huang Xu and Sunny, who have their own requirements for the apartment, Huang Wenfu and Li Qiuyue are not so particular.
They didn't pack too many things in the apartment they rented. They simply bought some furniture and appliances and moved in directly.
Therefore, although they rented the house relatively late, they have already moved in.
But when Huang Xu drove the car and parked in the parking space next to his uncle, he suddenly felt a sense of violation.
At this time, I saw that my uncle's fourth-hand Hyundai looked a bit standout in the parking lot of this high-end apartment, and felt out of place with the surroundings.
The other parking spaces are filled with high-end luxury cars, even imported cars.
Only my uncle's four-hand modern car stood there alone.
So Huang Xu, after getting off the car, asked Huang Wenfu directly:
"Uncle, what do you think about buying a car that I mentioned a while ago?"
"Car, I'm not in a hurry, and don't I already have one for transportation?"
"Don't talk about your car, uncle."
Huang Xu looked at his uncle speechlessly, not hiding his contempt for his car.
Huang Xu drove his car a lot in his previous life. Until he got rich from purchasing on behalf of others, most of his travel needs were driven by his uncle's fourth-hand Hyundai.
Even when purchasing on behalf of others first started, when I needed to travel around to purchase goods, I always drove that car.
According to the memory of his previous life, it was not until 2016 that my uncle earned money from contracting a hotel and bought a new car.
But the situation is a little different now. Now they have money and can afford to buy a car.
The most important thing is that if they don’t spend the money, it will be taken away by taxes.
So Huang Xu looked at his uncle and urged:
"Uncle, hurry up and choose. If we don't hurry up, it will be taken away when we come back to the finance department to pay taxes."
"Okay, your aunt and I will see what is more suitable in the next two days."
Huang Wenfu actually knew about this, but he kept putting it off because he had not adapted to the change in status and still maintained the habit of thrift.
But after being told by Huang Xu, he took it to heart.
After Huang Xu saw that his uncle had nodded, he stopped urging him and talked about another thing.
"Uncle, let your aunt learn to drive when you have time. When the time comes to buy a car, buy her a transportation vehicle as well."
"There's no need for that, her."
"Well, uncle, it doesn't cost anything to buy a car anyway. If you don't buy it, it's free. And when aunt learns to drive, it will be easier for you guys to go out and play."
Huang Xu interrupted his uncle directly and said what he thought directly.
"Okay, let me talk to your aunt."
Seeing Huang Xu's determined look, Huang Wenfu stopped delaying and agreed directly. However, looking at Huang Xu's leaving figure, he remembered another thing.
"By the way, Xiaoxu, you and your girlfriend should discuss it and see when you are free in the next few days and take her to your house for dinner."
"Understood, I'll go back and ask."
After Huang Xu finished speaking, he parted ways with his uncle and walked in another direction.
Although they are in the same community, they are not in the same building, so Huang Xu still needs to walk some distance.
But in the past, he was very careful and kept observing the surroundings to see if any paparazzi were taking photos or if there were any suspicious persons.
Although the security of this community is very tight and ordinary paparazzi cannot enter at all, it cannot be 100% safe.
Therefore, Huang Xu was still very cautious when leaving.
After all, you can never go too far wrong.
It wasn't until he returned to the door of the apartment that he relaxed, took out the key and opened the door.
"I'm back!" As the door opened, Huang Xu walked in, only to find that there was no one in the room.
However, Huang Xu didn't find it strange. Instead, he put down his backpack, changed into home clothes, and went directly to the apartment rented by Goo Hara next door.
The apartment that Goo Hara rented was actually finished in the past few days, a few days later than Sunny's apartment.
The main reason for the time difference is that the fitness area, which occupies the entire living room, requires more equipment.
The fitness area is the most important facility in the apartment that Goo Hara rents, which is why Goo Hara still has to pay back the money to rent another apartment.
Now in the living room of this room, the floor has been laid with shock-absorbing rubber mats that are only used in gyms. Various equipment is placed on it, filling up the 70 to 80 square meters of living room.
In addition to treadmills and spinning bikes that are common in home fitness, several squat racks, bench press racks, Smith and other equipment for strength training were specially placed for Huang Xu.
Then the remaining equipment is some home gyms or even equipment that is not available in public gyms.
In particular, the Pilates equipment specifically used for female body shaping is a relatively rare item in Seoul today.
And these are the fitness equipment Huang Xu prepared for Sunny and Goo Hara.
As the idols of a girl group, they cannot exercise like ordinary people when they exercise. They just need to lose weight.
They need to lose weight while maintaining more sexy curves.
Of course, this is a requirement only in this era.
In the current Korean entertainment industry, there are still many idols who pretend to be healthy.
But in a few years, the Korean entertainment industry's body requirements for idols will change again.
By that time, the idols who appear on the stage will basically be Bai Youshou, who has taken the whole of Asia by storm.
It was also at that time that whether it was a male or female group, their recognition was no longer so obvious. Many groups even suffered from face blindness and could not distinguish between people.
But these are all digressions. Now, after entering the door, Huang Xu's eyes couldn't move away from Goo Hara's figure flying up and down.
Looking at the figure flying up and down, Huang Xu's heart couldn't help but beat a few times quickly, and his eyes were a little straight.
Because at this time, Goo Hara was stretching on a Pilates rope hanging from the ceiling of the living room, constantly changing various movements.
Of course, this is not the reason why his eyes are straight. The real reason is that Goo Hara's clothes are too cool.
The upper body is a sports vest, and the lower body is only wearing a pair of fitness tight shorts.
It was because of Goo Hara's outfit that Huang Xu's eyes were straight and he couldn't avert his gaze.
After all, this outfit perfectly exposed Goo Hara's body curves in front of Huang Xu, and she had a strange charm.
It was at this time that Goo Hara, who was immersed in sports, discovered Huang Xu's figure and felt his hot gaze.
"Oppa, are you back?"
"Well, I'm back."
"Then Oppa, please go to the side and wait for me. I will be finished soon."
"Okay."
Although Huang Xu said okay, he walked towards Goo Hara involuntarily, and after walking to her side, he directly stretched out his hand to support her trembling thin legs.
"Let me help you."
"Oh, Oppa, no, you touch me like this, it's so itchy."
Goo Hara felt the touch of Huang Xu's hand gently gliding across her legs, and couldn't help but shudder, her hairs stood up, and she quickly struggled to beg Huang Xu for mercy.
Huang Xu looked at Goo Hara who was struggling to get off. He didn't mean to let go. Instead, he took a step further and directly hugged her famous slender waist.
His move made Goo Hara look frightened, and she couldn't help but beg Huang Xu for mercy.
"Oppa, it's still early. I'll stay with you in the evening, okay?"
"No, I just want you to accompany me now."
It's a pity that Huang Xu didn't stop his actions when faced with Goo Hara's begging for mercy, but instead became more unscrupulous.
Even Goo Hara's sports vest was pushed up by Huang Xu, and he lowered his head and kissed her.
After Gu Hara felt Huang Xu's violation, her face immediately became flushed, and her body began to heat up.
But at this time, she still continued to struggle, and the struggle became more intense.
"Oppa, no, truth is going shopping. She should be back later."
"It's okay, let's decide quickly. It'll be quick."
Huang Xu was not frightened by Goo Hara's words. Instead, he took this opportunity to directly urge Goo Hara and launched a fierce offensive.
Goo Hara was fixed on the rope by Huang Xu. There was really no place to use her strength to break free from Huang Xu's arms. In the end, she could only look at Huang Xu and helplessly accept the challenge.
And because he was worried that his best friend was coming back soon, he was extra attentive when fighting Huang Xu, hoping that he could let Huang Xu vent out before his best friend came back.
Ten minutes later, while Huang Xu and Goo Hara were fighting fiercely on the rope, Cui Zhenli appeared at the door of the apartment with a bag tightly wrapped.
After looking around and finding no one, Cui Zhenli breathed a sigh of relief, took out the key from his bag and prepared to open the door and go in.
What she didn't expect was that the door couldn't be opened.
This surprised her. She first looked up at the house number, then pulled out the key and checked it carefully.
"That's right, the house number is 1202, and there's nothing wrong with the key, right?"
"Why can't it be opened?"
After checking that she had gone correctly, Cui Zhenli took out the key and tried it several times. It could be rotated, but the door would not open.
This made Cui Zhenli very confused, but she did not go into details. Instead, she took out her mobile phone and dialed Goo Hara's number.
But until I hung up, no one answered.
At this time, Cui Zhenli became a little worried, fearing that something would go wrong with Goo Hara.
After all, when he left just now, Goo Hara was the only one in the room exercising by herself. If she doesn't answer her phone now, might something unexpected have happened?
Thinking of this, Cui Zhenli couldn't help but worry about Goo Hara's safety, so she slapped the door directly.
"Holla, I'm back. What's wrong with you? Do you want someone to open the door for you?"
"Can you hear me? Hala, if you don't make any sound, I will ask the management to come and open the door."
"Holla, can you hear me?"
Following Cui Zhenli's shout, Goo Hara, who was fighting fiercely in the room at this time, was startled, and then hugged Huang Xu directly.
"Oppa, stop for a moment, the truth is back."
"It's okay, let her wait for a while."
"But if she doesn't open the door, she will ask the property management company to open the door?"
"Then~, let me tell her."
Only then did Huang Xu pay attention to Cui Zhenli's shout outside the door. After a short pause, he carried Goo Hara directly to the clothes next to him, took out his mobile phone, and dialed.
Cui Zhenli, who was anxiously knocking on the door, suddenly saw Huang Xu's phone. As if he had found a life-saving straw, he immediately called for help without waiting for Huang Xu to speak.
"Oppa, Hara was exercising at home just now. I went out to buy things, but when I came back, the door couldn't be opened, and Hara didn't respond when I called or knocked on the door. Are you coming back soon?"
"."
Huang Xu listened to Cui Zhenli's rapid-fire words and didn't know what to say for a moment.
However, the physical impulse made him wake up quickly and spoke directly to the phone.
"Wait at the door for a moment and we will open the door for you later."
After saying that, Huang Xu hung up the phone directly.
Cui Zhenli, who was at the door, listened to the busy signal on the phone. After being stunned for a while, he slowly came to his senses.
Then he put his ear close to the door and vaguely heard the sound of fighting in the room.
Hearing this movement, Cui Zhenli's face suddenly turned red, and he fully understood what happened, so he spat directly at the door:
"You guys are doing this kind of thing so early!"
I wish all bosses good health, safety and success in the new year!
