Chapter 128: You Can Start by Setting a Small Goal of 100 Million (Part 2/3)

With his cooking skills being so formidable, why not take in a few disciples? Not only could he earn money, but he could also elevate the overall level of chefs in China.

Perhaps in ten or twenty years, any somewhat famous restaurant would have a head chef who was one of his disciples.

Thinking this, a smile couldn’t help but emerge on his lips.

“Uncle Su, regarding your suggestion, I will give it some serious thought after I return from abroad. But even if I decide to open a restaurant, it will have to wait until I come back,” Tang Feng said.

“This matter should be expedited! My idea is that you should open this restaurant before participating in the China Chef Competition. That way, once you win the championship, it would serve as a promotion for the restaurant, and by then, there will definitely be many customers dining in,” Su Gang said.

“I understand,” Tang Feng nodded.

“You can discuss it with Chen Yang. Let him work in the restaurant you open. Having worked in the hotel industry for so many years, his experience is undoubtedly vast. You can entrust him with the mission of preparing for the restaurant,” Su Gang suggested.

“Alright! After we finish eating, I’ll talk to him,” Tang Feng agreed.

Soon, lunch was over.

Tang Feng and the others walked out of the private room.

Chen Yang, hearing that they were leaving early, also hurried over to see them off.

“Uncle Chen, wait here for me for a moment. I’ll first see my parents off,” Tang Feng said.

“Okay! You go ahead!” Chen Yang nodded.

Then, Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli saw Tang Long and the others off in their car.

“Do I need to drive you back?” Su Gang asked.

“No need!” Tang Feng shook his head, “We’ll just take a taxi back later.”

“Then we’ll be off. Call us if you need anything,” Su Gang instructed.

“Understood.”

After that, Su Gang started the car and left with Tang Long and his wife.

Tang Feng returned to Chen Yang.

“Uncle Chen, I have an idea. I’m thinking of opening a restaurant. Would you like to join me?” Tang Feng didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

“Willing! Of course, I’m willing!” Chen Yang didn’t hesitate at all and immediately agreed.

“Do you need to give a heads-up to the hotel’s owner and then handle the handover?” Tang Feng asked.

“Definitely. I guess the owner might not be willing to let me go,” Chen Yang said, his face showing a bit of worry.

“He definitely won’t want to let you go. But, if you really want to leave, he surely can’t stop you. You could recommend someone to replace you, and once our restaurant is open, we can have that person come to our restaurant to learn for a while. This way, you would have done right by them,” Tang Feng thought for a moment and decided.

“That’s a great idea! I believe the owner will agree!” Chen Yang was somewhat overjoyed.

“I’m about to go abroad. The matter of opening the restaurant will be entirely up to you. As for the necessary funds, I’ll try to gather them within three days,” Tang Feng said.

“Master Tang, what kind of restaurant are you planning to open? A five-star one as well? Or just focusing on dining, without accommodation?” Chen Yang asked.

“Just dining, no accommodation. The customers come to the restaurant to eat,” Tang Feng replied.

“In that case, opening the restaurant shouldn’t cost much. Over the years, I’ve also saved some money. Can I invest it in the restaurant?” Chen Yang discussed with Tang Feng.

“Yes! I was actually planning to give you shares,” Tang Feng readily agreed.

“In that case, I’ll fund the entire restaurant! Of course, you’ll still hold the majority of the shares,” Chen Yang offered proactively.

“Is that appropriate?” Tang Feng was visibly startled.

“There’s nothing inappropriate about it. I’m very happy that you invited me to join you. And to be honest, even if I invest all the money, compared to your culinary skills, it’s nothing. I’m really grateful for this opportunity,” Chen Yang said sincerely.

“In that case, I won’t be polite with you. I’ll leave this matter to you! As for the shares and such, we’ll discuss it when I come back! Don’t worry, I definitely won’t shortchange you,” Tang Feng said.

“I know! I will do my best in this matter,” Chen Yang nodded.

Then, Tang Feng bid him goodbye and took Su Xiaoli back to school.

“Xiaoli, you must take care of yourself while I’m abroad. If you miss me, just call me,” Tang Feng instructed.

“I will miss you a lot during this long period,” Su Xiaoli’s eyes showed a hint of melancholy.

“I will miss you too. It’s a pity that current phones don’t support video calls. Otherwise, we could still meet over the phone,” Tang Feng sighed.

“Video calls on a phone? Brother Feng, your imagination is too rich! Even sending text messages on current phones is limited in terms of character count. It might take decades before what you’re saying becomes possible,” Su Xiaoli laughed.

“Decades? By then, it would be too late! My goal is to achieve this within three years,” Tang Feng’s fighting spirit surged.

“Three years? Are you joking?” Su Xiaoli was very surprised.

“No,” Tang Feng shook his head, “This is my real intention. And I believe it will definitely be realized within three years.”

Su Xiaoli didn’t say anything.

During this time, as she got to know Tang Feng better, she knew that once he decided to do something, he would definitely achieve it!

So far, she hadn’t seen any goal that Tang Feng failed to achieve!

However, the idea of enabling video calls on mobile phones within three years still seemed unbelievable to her.

“Next, the formation of the new company will be up to you,” Tang Feng changed the subject.

“Ah? Really? I don’t have much experience in this area,” Su Xiaoli was clearly taken aback.

“I don’t have experience either. If you encounter any difficulties, you can call Uncle Su or directly ask Professor Li Ping for help,” Tang Feng suggested.

“Okay,” Su Xiaoli nodded.

“Xiaoli, I believe in your abilities. As long as you’re willing to learn, you can definitely manage the company well,” Tang Feng smiled.

“I will try my best,” Su Xiaoli stated.

“Here, this is for you,” Tang Feng took out a bank card and handed it over.

“Are you sure about leaving so much money with me?” Su Xiaoli asked as she took it.

“Of course! What’s there to worry about! Not to mention this money, even if it was one hundred billion, a trillion, I would still trust you,” Tang Feng answered.

“You!” Su Xiaoli smiled helplessly.

“I’m speaking the truth. Although I haven’t earned a trillion yet, I believe that one day, I will achieve this dream,” Tang Feng was full of confidence.

“Brother Feng, why do I feel like your dreams always seem so far away. Can’t you set a more achievable dream, like one hundred million? I think that’s easier to achieve,” Su Xiaoli negotiated.
