Chapter 341
Chapter 341 - Even If You Have to Suffer You Are Willing to Do It
Ten million was not a lot. Back then, Yang Haosheng had already spent twelve million, but now, he was clearly in a situation where he couldn't even afford three million. The sudden increase in the price to ten million surprised him.
“Ten million for this crappy place? Are you crazy?” Mr. Yun asked in disbelief.
“I am not crazy. This place is not bad either. It's just that you have yet to see its value.” Zhang Xiaolong stood up and said, “If you think it's too expensive, you can rent another place. Boss Yang has the freedom to choose whom to transfer to. Of course, if you can offer a higher price, this place might even be yours.”
“Three million is too expensive. It's impossible for me to pay more than ten million.” Mr. Yun looked at the two of them and suddenly smiled, “Boss Yang, you are too much of a braggart. I might believe you if you say four million, but would there be such a foolish person who would raise the price to six million? I sincerely want to rent this place, but now that you have chased me away like this, not to mention ten million, you won't even be able to afford three million.”
Yang Haosheng was really hesitant. He also suspected that Zhang Xiaolong had stood up to raise the price, but the problem was that the price was a little too high. If he let Mr. Yun go, Zhang Xiaolong would be joking around, and he would be screwed.
“I can transfer the money to you right now.” Zhang Xiaolong took out his bank card and waved it, “Ten million is not much, just enough for the rent that you paid in the past. But this time, I will take advantage of the situation. For the next year, I need you to help me manage this restaurant. Is there a problem?”
“I…” Yang Haosheng found it hard to believe. “Is what you said true?”
“Of course it's true. I told you just now that we are going to open a vegetarian restaurant.” Zhang Xiaolong did not exaggerate at all, “We have the best vegetables and ingredients in the country. It won't be a problem for us to open a restaurant. It's just that I have a lot of time on my hands, so I need more people to help me. I see that you and those people are not bad. Even though the restaurant is down, they still trust you so much. You are the only ones who can do that.”
Yang Haosheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. The waiter did not leave because he had yet to pay his salary. If he did, everyone would have left long ago.
However, these people were really not bad. None of them had made trouble for him because of this matter. He said that he would wait for the restaurant to open and pay the money, and then everyone would wait there eagerly.
However, Yang Haosheng understood that Zhang Xiaolong was telling the truth. There really was a fool in the world who was smarter than him.
“Alright, since Mr. Zhang is so righteous, I will be loyal to you for the next two years no matter what.”
“Hey, hey, what do you mean? Didn't we agree on this restaurant?” Mr. Yun was a little unhappy. He quickly took out his card and said, “Come, come, come. Three million yuan. I won't return it. You guys don't have to act anymore. Let's be more efficient.”
“I'm sorry, Mr. Yun. I made you come here for nothing. When the restaurant opens again, I will welcome you and apologize to you.” Zhang Xiaolong smiled.
Mr. Yun glanced at Yang Haosheng, then turned to Zhang Xiaolong. After cursing, he turned around and walked away.
“Hehe, Xiaolong, you are really amazing. With such little effort, not only did you manage to rent the restaurant, you even rented the manager.” Jiaang Yu said with a smile.
In his heart, he was secretly wondering if Yang Haosheng's character was good, but his management skills were just average. He had been running the restaurant for half a year and was about to go bankrupt. If he were to let him continue, wouldn't it be like changing the soup but not the medicine? It would still be the same recipe and the same taste. Could this bastard really beat the Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant?
Naturally, he could not say these words in front of Yang Haosheng. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing.
“Director Zhang, it's my honor to trust you. However, there are some things that I still need to tell you.” Yang Haosheng walked back to the table and said sincerely, “I have some experience in this business, but if I want to make the restaurant popular, I can't rely on me alone. You still need to find capable people, including the chef and the manager. I need to be able to do these two aspects well. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to transfer the restaurant. If you help me, I won't harm you. I have to say this first.”
Jiaang Yu and his sister secretly nodded their heads. They felt that they were overthinking just now. Yang Haosheng's character was indeed not bad, and he knew that he alone could not support the restaurant.
“Help me keep an eye on these things. There is no rush. It's best if you choose those with some experience, just like the chefs in the Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant. I heard that they are not easy to recruit. Our chefs are not like that, but we can't be taken away just like that.” Zhang Xiaolong smiled and said, “As for management…”
His gaze turned around and landed on Luh Xiaoya. “I remember that you studied Business Administration, right?”
“Yeah…” Luh Xiaoya was a little embarrassed. “Mr. Xiaolong, can you lend me some money first? I want to finish my college, but I will definitely think of a way to pay it back as soon as possible.”
“Silly girl, I didn't even have time to say anything to you just now. When you encounter such a situation, you should have come to me first. If I'm not around, I can go and tell Ms Lianzi. It's just fifty thousand yuan. Did you see how dangerous it was just now?” Zhang Xiaolong reprimanded her.
Luh Xiaoya nodded silently. Even now, she was still a little scared in her heart. However, when she mentioned borrowing money from Zhang Xiaolong's house, she really did think about it. However, she was too embarrassed to ask for it.
At first, if it wasn't for her father going there to cause a ruckus, perhaps she and Zhang Xiaolong would be a couple. However, after causing a ruckus, she ran over to borrow money with a face full of smiles. Not to mention her and her mother, even Luh Dashan himself would be embarrassed to talk about it.
Fifty thousand yuan was not a lot. Luh Xiaoya thought that she had some money at home, so she would work hard to find a job to earn some money. No matter what, she could at least make up the difference. At worst, she would take a semester off and work for a year to stabilize her situation before going back to school.
However, she did not expect that earning money was much harder than she had imagined. It was even more difficult to earn a large sum of money in one go. Since she had already reached this point, she had already lost all her dignity, so she could only ask Zhang Xiaolong for help.
“How much do you want to borrow?” Zhang Xiaolong blinked his eyes and suddenly asked.
Luh Xiaoya was stunned for a moment. She thought that Zhang Xiaolong would take the initiative to give her a sum of money, no matter how much it was, she would return it as soon as possible. However, the other party asked her instead.
“One hundred thousand.” After thinking for a moment, she said an accurate number.
If possible, she did not want to give up halfway. She had already borrowed fifty thousand, and if she added the tuition fees, it would not be a problem. Most likely, Mr. Xiaolong would not mind.
“It's fine if you want to borrow money, but there are conditions.” Zhang Xiaolong smiled mysteriously.
Having just experienced a scam, if it was someone else who said this, Luh Xiaoya would instinctively think that the other party was coveting her body. However, Zhang Xiaolong would not. This was the most basic trust.
“You say, Mr. Xiaolong, I will definitely be able to do it.” Luh Xiaoya said firmly, “I want to finish my university and be willing to suffer.”
“That is what I want.” Zhang Xiaolong smiled again, “Compared to digging the ground under the sun, what's this bit of suffering? Just endure it for a while and it will pass. I believe you can do it.”
