Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

"Because I've been there, I know you're on the wrong path now!" He Jianguo almost yelled, "When you've lost everything, you'll understand what I'm saying!"

After saying this, He Jianguo turned and left the villa, leaving He Daqing standing alone in the living room with mixed feelings. He looked at his father's back as he left, feeling heartbroken and lost, but unwilling to admit his mistakes.

In the evening, Li Hui returned to the villa and saw He Daqing sitting on the sofa, looking lonely. She walked over and asked softly, "Daqing, what's wrong?"

He Daqing sighed and told her what happened during the day. After listening, Li Hui held his hand and said, "Daqing, I understand how you feel, but maybe you should try to understand your father. His anger is also because he cares about you."

"But I really don't understand why he is always so stubborn. He never listens to my ideas." He Daqing said distressedly.

Li Hui gently stroked the back of his hand and said softly, "Perhaps you can find an opportunity to have a good talk, tell him your true thoughts, and listen to his opinions. Don't let the misunderstanding and anger continue."

He Daqing nodded, knowing that what Li Hui said made sense. Although he still had a lot of dissatisfaction and confusion in his heart, he decided to try to understand his father and find a solution that both sides could accept.

A few days later, He Daqing took the initiative to call his father and asked him to meet at a restaurant. They sat at a table in the corner. The atmosphere was a little tense, but He Daqing still plucked up the courage to say, "Dad, I want to talk to you."

He Jianguo looked at him coldly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Okay, go ahead."

"I know you are not happy with my lifestyle, but I am really trying to change it. Li Hui and I opened this restaurant together, and we are really working hard," He Daqing said sincerely.

He Jianguo looked at the restaurants around him and nodded. "I know you are working hard, but you also have to understand that life is not all about pleasure. You have to learn to take responsibility and be a responsible person."

"I understand," He Daqing nodded, "I will continue to work hard and not let you down again."

He Jianguo's expression eased a little, and he said softly: "Daqing, I just hope you can live a good life. Stop squandering and manage your life well."

He Daqing felt warm, knowing that his father was doing this for his own good. "I will, Dad. Thank you."

From that day on, He Daqing began to take his life and work more seriously. He reduced the number of banquets and focused on the operation of the restaurant, while also working hard to repair his relationship with his father. He understood that only by being truly independent and responsible could he win his father's recognition and find his true life.

He Yuzhu listened and nodded, thinking about the solution. At this moment, he suddenly remembered someone: "Master, do you still remember Xu Damao? He used to be our old neighbor and is now a successful businessman. Maybe he can help us."

He Daqing's eyes lit up, and he nodded and said, "Yes, Xu Damao is indeed a good candidate. I heard that he has been looking for new investment projects recently. Perhaps we can try to contact him."

He Daqing immediately decided to invite Xu Damao to the restaurant for dinner and take the opportunity to discuss investment matters. A few days later, Xu Damao came to the restaurant as invited. Seeing that the restaurant was doing a booming business and customers were coming in an endless stream, he was also full of interest in the prospects of this investment.

"He Daqing, old friend, long time no see!" Xu Damao walked in with a smile and shook hands with He Daqing warmly.

"Yes, Xu Damao, it's been a long time since we last met. I invited you here today just to let you taste our craftsmanship." He Daqing responded with a smile, secretly thinking about how to talk about investment.

At the dinner table, He Yuzhu personally cooked and prepared a table full of sumptuous dishes. Xu Damao tasted the dishes and praised them repeatedly: "He Daqing, your dishes are really amazing! This dish of shredded pork with Beijing sauce tastes very authentic. It really reminds me of my childhood days in the courtyard."

"Xu Damao, I'm happy to hear you say that. In fact, we have always adhered to traditional practices, hoping to let more people taste the authentic flavor." He Daqing took the opportunity to say, "However, we have encountered some difficulties recently. We are planning to make some improvements and expansions, but the funds on hand are a bit tight."

Xu Damao put down his chopsticks and looked at He Daqing thoughtfully: "Oh? Do you have any specific plans?"

"We plan to expand a private room area at the back of the restaurant and improve the kitchen equipment to increase the speed and quality of the dishes," He Daqing explained in detail. "However, this requires a considerable amount of capital. We hope to find a suitable investor to develop together."

Xu Damao nodded, obviously interested in He Daqing's plan. "It sounds good. I'm always looking for new investment opportunities. Your hotel has a good foundation and potential. I'm willing to consider this project."

He Yuzhu was listening at the side, feeling nervous and excited. He knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if he could get Xu Damao's investment, the hotel's development would usher in a new turning point.

"Xu Damao, we don't ask for too much. We just hope that you can give us some financial support to help us get through this difficult time. In the future, we will share the hotel's profits according to the agreement." He Daqing said sincerely.

"How about this, He Daqing, let's sign a letter of intent first, and then we can discuss the specific details of the cooperation." Xu Damao said cheerfully, "I believe in your abilities, and I hope to work with you to make this restaurant better."

A few days later, He Daqing and Xu Damao signed an investment intention agreement. Xu Damao's capital injection gave the restaurant a shot in the arm. He Daqing and He Yuzhu immediately began the work of expansion and improvement. They bought new kitchen equipment, hired more employees, and expanded a high-end private room area in the backyard.

Late one night, He Daqing and He Yuzhu stood in the newly built box area, looking at everything in front of them, their hearts filled with a sense of accomplishment.

"Master, all this is the result of your hard work." He Yuzhu said with emotion, "I have learned a lot from you, not only the cooking skills, but also the principles of being a human being."

"Yuzhu, this is also the result of your hard work." He Daqing patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder, his eyes full of satisfaction, "We still have to work hard to make the restaurant better."

On the day the new private room area opened, guests came in an endless stream, praising the new environment and new dishes.
