Chapter 979 - Two Gains With One Move (2/2)

“It’s good that you like it. My efforts have not gone to waste,” said Mr. Wei. He even thoughtfully sent Xie Hao and his wife to their car and watched on as the two drove off.

Xie Hao drove off. The meal was paid for by Mr. Wei, and the food was very good. When eating, Xie Hao kept trying to think of any possible trick Mr. Wei might be pulling but he could not come up with an answer.

Just like that, Xie Hao kept having the feeling that this was the silence before the storm. All the joy from his promotion vanished and he stayed on alert to face whatever Mr. Wei had in store for him.

After Xie Hao left, Wei Wei couldn’t hold herself back anymore and asked, “Father, what was tonight for?”

And before Mr. Wei could answer, she added, “What you did gave me goosebumps all over.”

Wei Wei would never believe that her father would forget the grudge between him and his rival with a smile. He would only smile when his rival had fallen.

“If even you are having goosebumps, how do you think Xie Hao is feeling?” Mr. Wei asked.

“Huh?” Wei Wei blanked out.

Then, she was hit by a realization. If even she was having such a reaction, how would her father’s enemy react?

“Scared to death?” Wei Wei replied instinctively.

“Yes. The worst thing you can do to someone is by not doing anything bad,” said Mr. Wei.

“Moreover…” Mr. Wei added, “Xie Hao is going to be transferred to a subsidiary company out of the province. His entire family will have to move over with him as well. Thus, he has little chance to return to Chengdu in the future.”

“Alas, Boss Yuan’s All-Fish Banquet is the best All-Fish Banquet in the entire world,” said Wei Wei.

“Exactly. And Boss Yuan does not allow take-outs. Thus, he will never have another chance to eat Boss Yuan’s All Fish Banquet. This single move of mine gave me two victories,” said Mr. Wei as he looked at his daughter with a gratified expression.

Mr. Wei rubbed Wei Wei’s head, looked at Xie Hao’s direction and smiled before leaving with Wei Wei as well.

Yuan Zhou had no idea of the plot that had been contrived using his All-Fish Banquet. The dinnertime ended and after packing up the leftover ingredients, he made a serving of mixed fried rice and placed it at the trash dump station as usual.

It was quite interesting how Yuan Zhou’s restaurant never sold take-outs yet for the sake of throwing trash, Yuan Zhou had specifically bought some lunchboxes.

He bought them nearby and the boss of the store naturally knew Yuan Zhou. He even thought Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was finally starting take-out service and asked Yuan Zhou some questions in excitement.

The pub was opening soon as there was no rain today.

Shen Min arrived early. She was never late.

Yuan Zhou returned from the trash dump station. He planned to take a rest, but he suddenly recalled something. He took his phone out, hesitated slightly before putting his phone away again.

“Shen Min, I’m going out for a bit. I will return shortly,” said Yuan Zhou.

“Ok. Stay safe on the road, Boss Yuan,” said Shen Min with her head stretched out of the bamboo forest.

Yuan Zhou nodded and left.

The customers were all filled with curiosity when they saw Yuan Zhou leaving.

The moment Yuan Zhou’s figure vanished, they immediately asked Shen Min about it.

“Shen Min, where did Boss Yuan go?” asked a customer who was concerned about Yuan Zhou.

“It’s rare for Boss Yuan to leave twice in a row. Recently, Boss Yuan has been frequently going out at night. More importantly, everything is fine with the liquor, right?” asked a customer that was concerned about both Yuan Zhou and the liquor.

Shen Min answered them untiringly that the pub’s operation would not be affected. After Chen Wei and Fang Heng arrived, the pub grew much quieter.

The only sound in the air was Fang Heng reciting poems. That’s right. Fang Heng was a closet scholar. Unfortunately, he was a fan of the poet Xin Qiji, and because of that, the novelist greatly disapproved of him…
