In the villa’s living room, Gu Changmin shook his head and said, “Let’s go to your study room! It would be very troublesome if some things were to be disclosed without caution. I just wasted a favor for you, so I don’t want to complicate matters anymore.”
“But Brother Chen and Brother Gao are not outsiders. I think it will be fine for them to hear it, right?” Li Haoran said lightly, “I, Li Haoran, lost face today. It happened right in front of them. If this matter were to be disclosed in the future, I would have no place to show this face of mine.”
Gu Changmin’s face turned cold. He glared angrily at Li Haoran for a while before he turned around and walked outside.
“Hey, hey, hey. Brother Gu, Brother Gu! What are you doing?!” A middle-aged man caught up with Gu Changmin and grabbed his arm, “Brother Li just wanted to keep his face, so that’s why… All right, Old Gao and I will go to the chess room while you two talk.”
With a slight change in expression, Li Haoran felt a bit incredulous after seeing Gu Changming’s unusual behaviour. One must know that he and Gu Changmin had been friends for decades, yet it was his first time seeing him act so strange.
Could it be that… the problem was because of his attitude?
He… did he really help him?
Li Haoran’s mind suddenly turned faster. The anger inside his heart diminished a lot. He walked a few steps toward Gu Changmin, forced out a smile and said, “Brother Gu, in fact, I really didn’t have other intentions. We’ve been friends for decades so you should know my temper. Someone just picked a quarrel on my house. What is more, I had to bow my head and admit my mistake. So you can see that I was choked with anger inside! But I hope you can forgive me if I offended you.”
“Brother Gu, just tell us what is going on! We are not outsiders, to begin with.” The middle-aged man Gao echoed, “I also can’t fathom why you behaved like that… like you were scared of that kid. In any case, I’m afraid I would also act just like Brother Li if such a thing happened to me.”
Gu Changmin took a deep breath as he looked at the three curious looking men. When he saw the shame and anger on Li Zhen’s face, he sighed softly before returning and sitting in the sofa.
“Tell all of them to leave!”
Li Haoran immediately waved his hand, and all bodyguards left the hall.
“Everyone, you all should know Haiqing Province’s Miao Group, yes?” Gu Changmin slowly said, “You should also know about its Boss, Miao Wentang, who is my old friend.”
“I know him!”
“I’ve heard about him!”
“Yeah!”
The three men nodded and looked a bit puzzled.
“Between the women beside Tang Xiu, the one who slightly older, I believe you should also have seen her, yes?” Gu Changmin sighed.
The middle-aged man Gao said, “Yes, I have seen her. She left a deep impression on me. She’s the Everlasting Feast Hall’s Manager. She’s smooth and slick in establishing networks and a very competent businesswoman.”
“That’s right, that is exactly the Everlasting Feast Hall.” Gu Changmin nodded and said, “I don’t know about you but, how much do you know about the Everlasting Feast Hall?”
“Brother Gu, the Everlasting Feast Hall is just an upscale restaurant!” Li Haoran’s brows furrowed as he said, “What kind of status do we have? Why should we know about this restaurant, to begin with?”
“If the Everlasting Feast Hall were just an upscale restaurant, I naturally wouldn’t have looked afraid in front of Tang Xiu. I wouldn’t even sell my face to keep on good terms with him.” Gu Changmin shook his head and said, “As a matter of fact, it was very fortunate that I was here today. Didn’t you see how obvious I was when I flattered him before? If that Old Jin… that Jin Xingkui was also here, I can say with certainty that he wouldn’t merely want to be on good terms. He would, instead, nakedly fawn upon him.”
“Brother Gu, do tell us about this Everlasting Feast Hall.” Li Haoran’s face slightly changed.
“A few days ago, ever since Brother Miao told me about the Everlasting Feast Hall’s inside story, as well as learning that Tang Xiu is its owner, I sent some people to investigate it.” Gu Changmin slowly said, “Although I didn’t dare to do an in-depth investigation, the bits of information I got was enough to make me shocked.
“The Everlasting Feast Hall’s HQ had been established decades ago in Jingmen Island. This restaurant has branches in four big cities: Jingmen Island, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Beijing. Outside of running the restaurant franchise, they also have gold, silver, jewel, real estate, and luxury jewelry business under its flag…
“With my limited ability, I dared not investigate the Everlasting Feast Hall at a great scale, hence, I only got these kinds of information. I don’t know the specific details of how many businesses the Everlasting Feast Hall has.”
