Chapter 21: Task 1 Completed
The next day, Si Chen woke up refreshed.
The notification that signified the completion of his first mission task had rang in his head.
It seems like the agreement had already been confirmed by the lawyer overnight. This wasn't quite a surprise though. The Seafood Restaurant was not a huge business, and the process of shares distribution was straightforward and simple.
Entering his mind space, he had a slight expectation for what the rewards and changes would be.

His net worth had rose yet again, breaking through the hundred thousand mark. This could be considered an astonishing feat for Si Chen.
Next, his level naturally increased to level 6, and after surpassing level 5, the net worth he needed to upgrade to the next had also increased.
This was not much of a problem for him though. This was because with the success of the Hui Yuan Drink Store, it is constantly racking in profits and rising in net worth, with one increasing the cash he had on hand, and the other increasing the net worth of his shares.
With the $20000 provided by the System, he could further increase his investment within the Seafood Restaurant, and have the sufficient assets to deal with the current problem of the Blue Wave Restaurant.
This will also mark his first opponent since entering the investment and business scene. He was abnormally excited for this battle, although he knew that he himself wouldn't be doing much other than providing the resources the Seafood Restaurant needed to properly deal with the Blue Wave Restaurant.
And the personnel in charge of the Restaurant would take action and implement his ideas and resources.
He could be considered, the man behind it all.
It seemed like the Seafood Restaurant was worth far more than he had bought it for, because he had only invested $12000 into it for 50% of the shares, yet the System showed that its valuation was at $20000.
Looks like he got a bargain buy. If not for the fact that Blue Wave Restaurant had implemented measures to topple down the Seafood Restaurant, he wouldn't even be able to get such a worthy deal.
He really had to thank the Blue Wave Restaurant instead.
His F&B Expertise upgraded by one level, and his mind was filled with more F&B knowledge along with this upgrade.
The passive effects of this skill has rose by 1%, and Si Chen really wanted to slap himself for forgetting about a function of the skill.
He had only used it to create recipes for both drinks and dishes, but he had neglected the fact that this skill could be upgraded as long as he absorbed the relevant F&B knowledge.
Damn! After this, he was going to go for a feast on the related information and knowledge.
And as for his two free attribute points, this time, Si Chen decided to use one of them for his Wisdom and Strength.
It was time for him to advance into the double digits.
He pressed the addition button without any hesitation, and braced himself for the heavenly pleasure that would come along.
And as he had expected, it came.
One wave of energy to his body, another to his head.
His already defined muscles were yet again compressed and strengthened. His shoulders had become slightly bigger, his body more attuned to a perfect muscle figure.
Feeling the power in his body, he could feel that the advancement this time was countless times better than when he had enhanced his strength.
Looks like when crossing into the realm of the double digits gave him a more comprehensive and extensive upgrade.
And before he could even think more into this, he felt like a piece of glass was broken within his mind, released by the shackles which had limited it.
All his senses were enhanced, his comprehension abilities magnified, his intelligence elevating.
At this moment, he really wanted to find out where his IQ lay at.
He inhaled a deep breath to calm the excitement within him.
Now that all was done, and the contract of share distribution was also completed, it was time for him to send off the much-needed recipes to Fang Bin.
He opened a word document, and began to write down several recipes, with each and every one of them having standards much higher than what the Seafood Restaurant was currently having.
Of course, these recipes were not the best he had. He needed a few trump cards up his sleeves to gain an edge during further negotiations for the rest of Fang Bin's shares.
He was definitely not going to simply stop at 50% of the shares. It was not enough for him to work with.
He swiftly created a few recipes, with each of them listing down the required ingredients, along with an additional detailed process to cook them.
Even if you weren't a chef, you would at least know how to properly cook them based on his instructions, not to mention the chefs who had years of experience within the kitchen, in Seafood Restaurant.
He then saved the word document and send it to Fang Bin.
No one could possibly imagine that in a plain word document, there would actually be such precious recipes written inside.
It was akin to using a plastic bag from the supermarket to carry diamond.
But Si Chen didn't care. It was the contents that matter, not the packaging.
He also reminded Fang Bin to ensure absolute secrecy of such recipes within the circle of chefs under his management.
He didn't want the chefs to divulge the recipes that he had written to others.
As for how Fang Bin was going to carry this out, it was his own job to figure it out. He was an investor, not the boss, after all.
The investor shakes his legs while the boss carries out the work.
