Chapter 56 - Chapter 56 - 56 Going Out (2/2)

Chen Yu couldn’t help frowning, suddenly having a bad premonition.

Just as he was about to take out his phone to call Tong Ya, he noticed a message from her.

“These days, I will keep you in my mind every moment, and don’t you forget to think of me too!”

Chen Yu’s eyebrows twitched, and the bad premonition from earlier vanished completely.

At eight in the morning, a convoy of cars grandly arrived at the shopfront.

Tong Ming entered just like yesterday, surrounded by a group of security guards.

However, today, he seemed to be much more rule-abiding.

After finding an empty table and sitting down, he sent his bodyguard to order food.

Two shrimp dumplings, two fried cakes, two pancakes, and half a pound of marinated meat.

It has to be said, the old gentleman really had a good appetite.

Once the bodyguards had ordered exclusively for Tong Ming, they began their frenzied mode as per his instructions.

Twenty men, two hundred fried cakes, one hundred shrimp dumplings, forty bowls of noodles, and twenty pounds of marinated meat.

Considering they were bodyguards, this wasn’t a particularly large amount of food.

But their manner of eating truly intimidated the surrounding customers.

“Delicious! No wonder Mr. Tong came so early.”

“I never expected to find such tasty food in such a small city.”

“It makes me not want to leave, and I wonder when Mr. Tong’s next meeting in Suzhou City will be?”

…

After finishing his food, Tong Ming moved a small stool and sat near the display window.

“Young man, I really appreciate you. Have you considered opening your store in the capital?”

Chen Yu was helpless, this was just another approach to talk about investment.

“Old sir, I need to do well in this small city first, make a name for myself, before I can move to a big city!”

Tong Ming chuckled, “Lads like you are rare these days! By the way, are you married? I have a daughter…”

“Old sir, I’m already divorced, and I have a kid who’s five or six years old!”

Chen Yu was somewhat impatient.

His business was essentially on the right track now, and this was the time he least appreciated being disturbed.

Moreover, he didn’t know this older gentleman well, and any potential harm coming his way was an unthinkable consequence.

“So what if you’ve been divorced?” The old man, with a big wave of his hand, affirmed, “These days, men are tested on their perseverance and ability to break new ground. I believe you will definitely find someone better.”

These words left Chen Yu quite stunned.

Somehow, he felt a resonance with this old man on many levels.

Gradually, Chen Yu kept busy while chatting with Tong Ming off and on.

Tong Ming’s insights on business were exceedingly shrewd; in just half an hour, Chen Yu felt as though he had completed a special course from a business school.

By nine in the morning, Tong Ming bid farewell to Chen Yu and left with his entourage.

By noon, Tong Ming sent one of his bodyguards to order food again.

A day flew by, and although busy and fulfilling, Chen Yu felt something was missing.

Not until Tong Ya sent several photos of her with Tuan Tuan did he feel somewhat reassured.

At eight in the evening, as the foot traffic dwindled, Chen Yu began to instruct Chu Hong and the others to slowly clean up the shop.

He also made calls to order pork and ingredients.
