Chapter 277: The Restaurant Is Also Open for Business (Part 2)

The agents who had been working with Old Huang had already switched to Zhao Guangsheng, designated by Zhao Qingfeng. Now, all the lowest-priced components within the province had changed hands, becoming Zhao Guangsheng’s assets.

Cheng Ming naturally did not believe this.

He called Old Huang.

At this moment, Old Huang was already on pins and needles.

The higher-level agent had given him a message.

To continue the cooperation, he had to get close to Lingfeng Technology.

“This… that…”

Old Huang hemmed and hawed on the other end before finally saying awkwardly, “Cheng Ming, our cooperation should end here. The way you bullied Lan Meng, I heard about it and don’t agree with it. So, let’s have less contact in the future. If you want to purchase components, don’t come to me, go to Zhao Guangsheng.”

It was like a bolt from the blue.

Cheng Ming never expected the situation to change so quickly.

Looking back at Zhao Qingfeng.

He was as calm as when he first walked in.

Cheng Ming swallowed, his tone changing significantly, “Mr. Zhao… I… I hope you can forgive my past mistakes…”

If only he had known this day would come, why act as he did in the past?

Now, it was too late for anything. Zhao Qingfeng stood up to leave, instructing Zhao Guangsheng, “Big brother Zhao, Sister Lan’s matter is now in your hands. I have only one principle, no matter what the final outcome is, it must make Sister Lan satisfied.”

With that.

He turned and left.

As for how to deal with Cheng Ming, now that they had the upper hand, it was as easy as pinching an ant.

Lan Meng’s thousands of thanks need not be elaborated.

And the reason Zhao Qingfeng was in a hurry to leave was that there was another big event to attend to.

The restaurant had finished its renovations and was opening today.

The three-story building was divided into three different dining concepts. The first floor was a buffet restaurant, priced at 69 yuan per person, which was slightly expensive in 2001 but offered a wide variety of foods, enough to satisfy a young girl’s daily needs.

The second floor was a genuine Western restaurant, with everything from pizza to steak, ensuring a change of taste for the young girl.

The third floor was an authentic high-end Chinese restaurant, staffed by a chef from Shangri-La, who was brought in through Li Jianjun’s connections. While it might seem like overkill, as long as Shen Lingyao could always enjoy delicious food, the expense was worth it.

Shen Lingyao was already waiting at the restaurant’s entrance.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was scheduled for noon, and as the lady boss, she needed to be the first to taste the food.

But she remained low-profile, watching from the side.

Wang Yang was responsible for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. This old man, having nothing better to do lately, had grown increasingly fond of Zhao Qingfeng, always ready to lead the charge on his behalf.

By the time Zhao Qingfeng arrived, there were already many people gathered at the restaurant’s entrance.

There were people from society and predominantly university students.

Although the buffet’s price was a bit high for the average person, there was a promotion for the initial opening—20% off for the first seven days.

Besides, apart from some wealthy students, those trying to impress girls were also numerous, ensuring the business would be booming.

“I want to be the first to rush in and eat everything!”

Shen Lingyao, arm in arm with Zhao Qingfeng, eagerly watched the ribbon-cutting ceremony and was about to rush in to satisfy her cravings.

But at that moment.

Li Manrou, who had always seen her as the biggest rival, suddenly approached from the side.

She was dressed beautifully today, accompanied by Gao Shuai.

A conspicuous Mercedes sports car was parked at the entrance. Li Manrou tugged at Shen Lingyao’s arm, “Yaoyao, are you here like the others to get the free opening gift? Have you eaten yet? How about I treat you?”
