Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

Chen Dong listened to everyone's story with a smile, his heart filled with emotion.

He stood up, walked briskly to the desk beside him, picked up a clean sheet of paper and a pen, and began to write rapidly on the paper.

A short while later, he came over with the drawn logo.

Curious, everyone gathered around to take a look and saw a red rectangular grid with a little water seeping out from each of the four squares.

"Take a look at this design I made." Chen Dong cleared his throat and began to explain, "This red rectangle symbolizes that our hot pot restaurant is thriving and full of vitality, and represents that our business is as prosperous as this bright red color."

"Take a close look at this grid pattern. Doesn't it resemble the nine- or four-compartment hot pot grid we use every day? It symbolizes a wide variety of soup base options to satisfy the taste preferences of different customers."

"The water bubbling out of these four compartments represents the boiling broth in the hot pot, steaming hot, which immediately conjures up images of a bubbling hot pot with a fragrant aroma, making one think of a delicious hot pot."

"On the other hand, water also symbolizes nourishment and inclusiveness, representing our hot pot restaurant's inclusive business philosophy. No matter where customers come from or how unique their tastes are, we can accommodate and meet their needs."

Chen Xiumei took the painting from Chen Dong's hand, examined it carefully, her eyes widening as she nodded repeatedly: "Dongzi, your design is interesting. It fits the hot pot theme perfectly, from its shape to its meaning, and it has such a profound symbolism. It's much better than the ones I racked my brains to come up with before."

"Your brain is really quick."

While praising the painting, she handed it to Chu Mengran beside her again.

Chu Mengran's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands excitedly, praising, "Wow, Dongzi, you're so creative! This trademark is simple yet unique, without too many complicated elements, yet it's unforgettable. I think if this trademark were launched, it would definitely attract a lot of attention. I wholeheartedly support using it."

Her face was beaming with smiles, and her eyes were filled with admiration for Chen Dong.

Li Huazhen took the drawing, her brows furrowing slightly. After looking at it, she hesitated and said, "This logo looks quite unique and the design is ingenious, but I'm worried whether people can immediately recognize it as a hot pot restaurant. After all, what we want is an effect that people can understand at a glance and remember."

She handed the painting to Chen Jianguo, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Chen Dong patiently explained, "Mom, don't worry. Our logo will definitely have the words 'Haidilao' next to it, and the two will complement each other."

"Moreover, there are too many trademarks on the market that look the same. Our trademark is unique and novel, which makes it easier for it to stand out from the crowd."

"With the follow-up publicity and promotion, and by letting everyone know about our brand concept through multiple channels, everyone will soon understand that this is the logo of our hot pot restaurant."

His eyes were firm, and his tone was full of confidence.

Chen Jianguo held the painting, pondered for a moment, and slowly said, "Hmm, Dongzi is right. This trademark is indeed innovative. If you think about it carefully, every aspect can be linked to the characteristics and business philosophy of our hot pot restaurant. I think it's good, let's use this one."

He placed the painting on the coffee table, his eyes full of approval.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Chen Xiumei straightened up, her voice tinged with excitement: "Then it's settled. Dongzi, you should register this trademark another day. With the trademark, our hot pot restaurant will be more professional, and we'll be one step closer to our dream."

Chen Dong smiled and nodded: "Okay, once I register the trademark, we can start preparing for the rest of the hot pot restaurant. I believe that as long as our family works together, thinks in the same direction, and works together, our Haidilao hot pot will definitely become a hit throughout the city, and even spread to the whole country."

Chu Mengran leaned on Chen Dong's shoulder, her face beaming with happiness and anticipation, and said softly, "By then, our hot pot restaurant will definitely be packed every day, becoming the top choice for everyone to have a meal together. Just imagine, the restaurant will be filled with customers laughing and talking, and everyone will be praising our hot pot. How lively that scene will be!"

The family chatted excitedly, envisioning a bright future for Haidilao hotpot, filling the living room with laughter.

The warm atmosphere seemed to overflow, as if injecting endless energy into the new business that was about to begin. This trademark, which embodies the hard work and expectations of the whole family, will also carry the dream of Haidilao Hot Pot and set sail.

Even after the trademark was decided, the atmosphere in the living room remained one of joy and warmth from reaching a consensus.

Chen Dong glanced at the wall clock without thinking and saw that the hour hand had quietly pointed to 8:30.

He was slightly startled, realizing how quickly time had passed. He quickly stood up, gently patted Chu Mengran's shoulder, and said tenderly, "Mengran, it's getting late. Let me take you home. There are few cars and people on the road at night, and I'm worried about letting you go home alone."

Chu Mengran nodded with a smile, her smile as bright as the stars twinkling in the night sky.

She then turned to Chen Dong's family and politely said goodbye: "Uncle, Aunt, Sister, it's getting late, I have to go home now. I learned a lot and had a great time discussing trademarks with everyone today."

Chen Jianguo sat on the sofa, waved his hand with a smile, and said, "Mengran, be careful on the road. Come visit us often when you have time. It's good for our family to be together and have a lively time."

Li Huazhen chimed in with a smile, "Yes, Mengran, have Dongzi take you home safely. Let us know when you get home so we can rest assured."

Chen Xiumei stepped forward and gently took Chu Mengran's hand, as if she were holding her own younger sister, and said affectionately, "Mengran, come again next time, your older sister will cook you something delicious. We have many of our family's specialties."

Chu Mengran nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you, Uncle, Aunt and Big Sister. I will definitely come again."

Then, she and Chen Dong walked out of the house side by side.

Night had fallen, and the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, as if the whole world was shrouded in a soft black veil.

The dim streetlights cast a warm glow, stretching their shadows long, sometimes overlapping, sometimes separating.

Along the way, the two talked quietly, sharing their feelings about the family discussion they had just had.

"Don't you find it particularly interesting when people discuss trademarks? Everyone has their own unique ideas."

Chen Dong turned his head and looked at Chu Mengran, asking her a question.

Chu Mengran nodded slightly, her eyes sparkling: "Yes, everyone put in a lot of effort. And your design is really amazing, both novel and meaningful."
