i am just translating this lmao so dont cry T_T

Ming Yuan, a not so normal girl, never would have though sacrificing herself leaded to many fortunes and misfortines in her current life which her only goal was to...work, work, and ro-- *ahem* I mean work. (at least for now
^~^)

"Compass, what are you blanking out for?" Sun Ming asked curiously.
"Nothing," Yuan Zhou replied as he recovered from his thoughts.
"I don't see a heater around. Should I get one for you?" Sun Ming suggested.
"It is spring and summer is not far away," Yuan Zhou said.
"I'll get you a hot and cold air conditioner then," Sun Ming suggested without hesitation.
"You think it's cold here?" Yuan Zhou questioned.
"Not really. That's kind of weird, by the way. But when it gets hot during the summer, you can put the air conditioner to use," Sun Ming said after shaking his head.
"Don't worry. It's not hot during summer. My place is warm during winter and cool during the summer." Yuan Zhou emphasized, "In any case, I don't have any space for an air conditioner in my room."
"No. I need to be able to report back to my parents." Sun Ming said, "Just choose something for me."
"I'll tell you when I think of something," Yuan Zhou gave a smart reply.
"Are you sure?" Sun Ming looked at Yuan Zhou doubtfully.
In his opinion, Yuan Zhou would never ask for something from someone. Thus, he was doubtful of Yuan Zhou's words.
"Um, I won't lie," Yuan Zhou nodded.
"True. You are a man of your words," Sun Ming said with some hesitation.
That's right. Although Yuan Zhou was not one to ask for something from others, he was indeed a man of his words and had never lied.
"Ok, let's go back down," Yuan Zhou said.
"Sure. There's no beauty or secret to be unfolded here anyway. It's not a good place to loiter around," Sun Ming said with a smile.
"Leave quickly then," Yuan Zhou grumbled.
"Yeah, yeah, leaving now," Sun Ming said as he started heading downstairs.
When walking by the door of the room next door, Sun Ming glanced over at the doorknob and the door itself. Both were extremely clean, obviously a room that was still frequently entered.
Sun Ming knew that this was definitely the room of Yuan Zhou's parents. Even though he had never came upstairs, he knew just by guessing. Of course, he kept his mouth shut and did not say anything.
"Let's go," Yuan Zhou shut the door and started going down the stairs.
"Ok. I won't bother returning to the restaurant as well. I still need to go back and open my store for business," Sun Ming said when they reached the back door.
"You are probably in a rush to see your goddess," Yuan Zhou spoke candidly.
"It's good that you know. See you. I'll come for a meal next time and it's your treat, of course," Sun Ming said as he walked away while waving his hand.
"That will depend on my mood. See you," Yuan Zhou said.
Sun Ming ignored Yuan Zhou's refusal. After waving his hand, he walked out of the alley. Yuan Zhou stayed there until he could no longer see Sun Ming before returning to the restaurant.
Standing at the brightly lit kitchen and looking at the cabinets all around, Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of something, "I think I need to get another cabinet."
"A cabinet to store these articles," Yuan Zhou repeated.
Yuan Zhou was naturally referring to the articles such as the boxer gloves and the invitation cards. It did not feel right putting them on the shelf.
"I'll go to visit Furniture City tomorrow. The new cabinet will be placed right under the window. There's still an empty space there," Yuan Zhou made his plan.
"Looking at the time, I should start preparing dinner ingredients," Yuan Zhou said after checking the time and started busying himself again.
When night arrived, Zhou Jia arrived as usual and waited at the back door, waiting for it to be opened. As for the other customers, they were all lining up accordingly.
The hawkers were hawking their wares without stop and the entire street was bustling. Due to the crowd, the business of the stores in the area had improved as well.
At the same time, a group of people were heading towards the restaurant. They were all girls, each of them had delicate makeup and were dressed fashionably. Every one of them was holding a selfie stick.
"Come, come, that is the Yuan Zhou's restaurant, also known as the Master Chef Restaurant," said a cheerful girl as she started taking pictures with her selfie stick.
Naturally, the background of her pictures were the crowd in the queue and the restaurant without a signboard.
"This is the restaurant of the great ice sculptor. Look, there are so many people here. Let's go take some selfies."
"So do you know that cooked wheaten food master that is very popular online? Here, this is his restaurant, the restaurant of an Internet celebrity."
"Come, come, let's take some selfies."
"This is the restaurant my idol once filmed a show at. Let's take a selfie."
"Hey, I want to get in the picture as well. When posting the picture, tag me as well."
With the people from the Queuing Committee around, these people all behaved themselves. These were the people that would come take pictures after Yuan Zhou got popular online for various reasons recently.
The number of these people was quite large. Fortunately, there were people from the Queuing Committee keeping order. Although these people were all excited, they still followed the rules and thus had caused no disturbance.
"Hu, lucky me. I think I can still get a number," while they were busy taking pictures, Ling Hong ran into the line.
It was less than 20 minutes away from dinner time.
Time passed in the blink of an eye.
Whoosh! Yuan Zhou opened the door, indicating that the restaurant would be open for business soon.
"Line up over here and get your numbers. Thank you," Zhou Jia's voice sounded.
Lining up to get a number wasn't too big of trouble. Before long, the customers got their numbers. As for those behind the queue who did not manage to get a number, they went to rest under the tents. Ling Hong was among them.
"Ling Hong? Why are you here?" asked Jiang Changxi.
"Here to eat something," Ling Hong said while waving his hair in a confident and carefree manner.
"I thought you were having dinner at home?" Jiang Changxi asked suspiciously.
"This is a before-dinner meal," Ling Hong replied.
"You are acting weirdly. I reckon you are planning something bad," Jiang Changxi got straight to the point.
"No way. I'm being totally kind," Ling Hong said as a wide and bright smile unfolded on his face, showing off his extremely white teeth.
"I won't believe you," Jiang Changxi said.
"I'm telling the truth," Ling Hong nodded.
The friendly exchange between Yuan Zhou and Cao Zhishu ended today, but not many people were aware of the entire thing. After all, Yuan Zhou was not one to do excessive promotion for a friendly exchange.
He had always regarded himself as a low profiled person.
And thus, the customers remained calm today, none of them asked anything about the exchange.
Ling Hong was the last batch of customers to get a number. After about an hour of waiting, it was their turn to eat. And when they entered, they found that someone was missing today.
"I feel like something is missing today," Ling Hong said while looking around after sitting down.
"Yes, Master Cheng is not here today," Zhou Jia said.
"Oh, no wonder I feel like something is missing from the background," Ling Hong would frequently bicker with Master Cheng.
"What are you eating today, Brother Hong?" Zhou Jia asked.
"One Herbal Tea Egg. That's all," Ling Hong said.
"Anything else?" Zhou Jia asked.
After all, Ling Hong ordinarily ate a lot. A single serving of Herbal Tea Eggs was definitely not enough for him.
"It's ok. Just one Herbal Tea Eggs. But tell Compass to add some tea in the Herbal Tea Eggs," Ling Hong said seriously.
"Ok," Zhou Jia agreed after glancing at Ling Hong.
"The money is already transferred," Ling Hong said as he showed his phone.
Zhou Jia nodded and went passing the order to Yuan Zhou. When Yuan Zhou saw the order, he spoke, "Ling Hong, why do you want to add extra tea?"
"Because I need to eat at home today," Ling Hong spoke in a mysterious manner.


In a remote oriental country, there is a small and odd restaurant that has refused the three-star rating by the Michelin Guide several times. 
“The price is fairly expensive over there, 288RMB for a set meal of Egg Fried Rice and a bowl of soup. Ah, and an extra small plate of pickled vegetables as well. Even so, there are still a long line of people queuing up and waiting for a taste. Reservations are not accepted there, only waiting and queuing personally is allowed. 
“Numerous people fly there on their private planes just to queue up. Furthermore, parking bays and parking spots are not provided there. The service is terrible here. Customers have to clear the tableware themselves and wipe the table as well. For god’s sake, the boss is literally crazy.”

Locking the restaurant, Wang Ming then hurried to the meat shop to get more pork belly. On the way Wang Ming couldn't help but smile when he thought about how well the restaurant did, on the opening day. He didn't think that the restaurant would do this great and was ready to hit flies while waiting for customers. 

Since few restaurants did well on their opening days with no advertisements and marketing. Wang Ming figured it down to two factors, the first was the food, the great smell and taste. The second which isn't any less important than the first, which is the restaurant location. Wang Ming were sure that if his restaurant only sold "Ok" or even worse bad food, he would have still gotten a good number of customers today. Though there wouldn't be many of them who would return, if his food was bad.

But seeing how many people that enjoyed his food today, Wang Ming felt certain that there would be many of the customers that would come back, maybe not tomorrow but some day. One great thing, about having so many happy customers today, is that they will recommend Wang Ming's restaurant to their friends and family. Which could bring him a lot of new customers and was a free advertisement for the restaurant. 

Arriving at the meat shop, Wang Ming saw that there was a delivery car in front of Uncle Weng's shop. Which he found odd, as people deliver goods in the morning or at night since people, needed goods at the morning to sell, or get it at night to sell the day after. Peeking at the boxes the delivery men were running, Wang Ming saw that they were delivering different meats, but 8 out of 10 boxes was pork belly. 

Which made him excited because it meant that Wang Ming didn't need to worry about Uncle Weng not having enough meat for him, at least for a few days, unless he had another big customer which also needed pork belly. There were at least 30 boxes of pork belly, each weighing about 44 pounds each (20kgs).

Seeing the deliverymen working so hard, Wang Ming waited for them to get done before entering the shop. But right before he could enter the shop, Wang Ming saw that the door of the shop flung open and Uncle Weng running out of the shop. Then spotting Wang Ming, Uncle Weng went up to him and gave him a bear hug while saying.

"Congratulations Wang Ming, I heard about your success. And I'm sorry."

Hearing Weng Ping congratulate him, then say sorry the second after. Wang Ming couldn't understand what was happening and why he would apologize to him.

"Don't apologize to me Uncle Weng. You haven't done me any wrong, the meat last time was great."

"No, no, I'm not apologizing about that. One of my customers told me about your restaurant. They first told me about how great it was doing already on the first day. But they also told me about the complications that happened during the grand opening [1]. That filthy nephew of mine, he brought his bad friend to trouble you. If you didn't have a powerful friend, then I think you would be in prison being beat up and not here."

"I can't tell you how relieved I am to see you good and well with no injuries. This is also why I put in a haste order for a lot of pork belly. I heard about how well your restaurant did. Think of it as my compensation to you. You will not have to worry about the meat supply anymore. I will supply you with all the meat you need."

Wang Ming didn't blame Weng Ping at all for what Weng Ting did. It wasn't his fault that Weng Ting was like that. So he didn't accept Weng Ping's apology, but he appreciated Weng Ping's intention. Especially the fact that he wouldn't need to think about his meat source anymore. 

"Thank you, Uncle Weng. But don't apologize to me, it isn't your fault."

Seeing Weng Ping wanting to say something to refute him, Wang Ming followed up with.

"It isn't your fault! Many people get influenced a lot by their friends. Weng Ting was great friends with Bo Hou Zhang that degenerate, so this was probably where he got all his bad habits from. Let's not talk about this anymore and let me inspect the meat, pay and take it with me. I need 200 pounds of pork belly today."

Contemplating about what Wang Ming had just said, Weng Ping thought about it for a bit. Before accepting that there was nothing he could do for Weng Ting anymore. Weng Ting didn't even see him as an uncle anymore, it was time to let go of him.

Nodding at Wang Ming, Weng Ping then went into the restaurant to ready the meat for Wang Ming.

Wang Ming could have bought a large amount of meat, enough to last him multiple days. Especially since he had the card, he got from Bo Hou Zhang with 1 million yuan and the 88888 yuan he got from Peng Tong. But the cooler and freezer were much better at Weng Ping's place was much better than at Wang Ming's restaurant. Since they made the freezer here for only one purpose to keep meat fresh the longest time possible.

Buying daily from Weng Ping's shop also ensured that Wang Ming could check the quality each time he bought, and would make it easy for him to replace the subpar meat.

While waiting for Weng Ping to finish, Wang Ming thought about what new dish he could introduce to the restaurant. He wouldn't come out with this dish until at least 1-2 more months depending on how the restaurant were doing. Since Wang Ming wanted to ride out the hype of his braised pork dish, before introducing a new one. If the restaurant also did well, he would have to buy more seats and tables. Also hire more workers, which was the biggest restriction for Wang Ming's restaurant.

Wang Ming had calculated it he could at most do 200-300 pounds of meat a day. Which would get him an earning of roughly 500-800 thousand yuan a month which would calculate to 6-9 million yuan a year. Which is fantastic more than anything he had ever dreamt off. But that would mean he would average, maybe 2-3 hours of sleep every day. Since it would take him roughly 10 hours to make all the food. 

Then he would have to be awake and manage the restaurant until closing, which could be anywhere from 4 to 8 hours. If it was 8, then that would be 18 hours of the day after this he would need to buy all the ingredients, and finish all other business he had before sleeping some hours and start making food. Wang Ming didn't think that this was a workable solution at all but he didn't want to hire a new chef either. Since he didn't want to share all his secrets to an outsider, so until Wang Ming found a solution for it he would need to sacrifice his sleep.

Hearing Weng Ping call him from inside the food shop, Wang Ming stopped his thoughts for now and went inside the shop. Coming inside he saw 5 boxes stacked up next to the counter. Wang Ming couldn't help it but feel impressed by Weng Ping's strength if he had carried all the boxes. He looked to be 50 close to 60 years old, carrying all the boxes by himself was definitely difficult.

"Uncle Weng, I have a card here just charge 50 thousands yuan from it. Then you can supply me a fixed amount of 200 pounds daily unless I specify anything different. But you should always have enough meat in case I need 300 or 400 pounds." 

Then Wang Ming gave Weng Ping the card he had gotten from Bo Hou Zhang. But what Wang Ming didn't expect was that the card were declined. Wang Ming felt embarrassed for being naïve and being fooled so easily by Bo Hou Zhang. Wang Ming even cockily said to Weng Ping to charge 50 thousand yuan from the card, he couldn't help but get red in his face.

Coughing to calm himself down, Wang Ming then took out 50 thousand yuan from the red packet he had gotten from Peng Tong. He didn't want to use the money at all, but Wang Ming felt like he couldn't tell Weng Ping that Bo Hou Zhang had scammed him and he didn't have any money. Taking the 50 thousands he then reluctantly gave the money to Weng Ping and said.

"Sorry Uncle Weng I took the wrong card, but here's cash instead I hope you don't mind!"

After talking a bit more, Wang Ming then made his way towards the other shops in the market. But now he felt irritated and his mood was at an all-time low. He could only promise himself to never get scammed so easily again and check the card via internet/application on his phone. Wang Ming would also get revenge on Bo Hou Zhang someday.

Wang Ming and his father lost everything when his father got cheated by his wife Wang Ming's stepmom. 

Follow him going from owning a food stand to step after step, opening up a restaurant chain and entertainment empire. In the process, he realizes that to stay on top, you need to be the top dog and is forced to unite the underworld at the same time.

Author Note: Hey guys this is the first novel I have written and I hope you guys will enjoy it. It will most likely contain some R-18 scenes though probably, not in the first arc (Unless the majority of you guys don't want R-18 scenes). I will probably put all kinds of R-18 scenes in a side chapter so it will not disrupt the reading for people that don't like it.

Yang Ming didn't choose Tavern Heaven on Earth, the Nightless Club, or the likes of his own territory to celebrate his birthday. Instead, he chose the Ju Yuan Chun Restaurant, the place where he celebrated his birthday a year ago.
Although Yang Ming was no longer the same, he still missed the years before a year ago: the intense and relaxed life of Grade 12, arguing with Chen Mengyan every day, and fooling around freely with Zhang Bing.
When Yang Ming rushed to the Ju Yuan Chun Restaurant, Zhang Bing was standing in the restaurant lobby and talking to the boss there. Because he was a friend of Zhang Jiefang, he was naturally more familiar with Zhang Bing. Zhang Bing often came here with Zhang Jiefang, but after he went to college, he did not come over for a while because he founded his own company, and he was later injured.
"Bro! You are here!" When Yang Ming walked into the restaurant, Zhang Bing quickly greeted him, just like how he waited for Yang Ming at the school gate a year ago.
"I am not late, right?" Yang Ming saw Zhang Bing and smiled at him. "I made you wait for me again this year."
"I booked this place, so of course, I have to come early. The sisters-in-law haven't come yet, and Sisi and the others are still at the company. They can only come over in a while," said Zhang Bing.
"Why? Is there business today?" Yang Ming said with surprise. The jewelry exhibition had been over for a while, but he didn't expect the jewelry company's business to be so hot.
"Yes, February 14th is Valentine's Day, and March 14th is called White Day [1]!" Zhang Bing said, "So, today's store business is also very popular. Sisi and they have to look after it."
"White Day? What is that?" Yang Ming heard inexplicably. It turned out that he just knew about Valentine's Day, but he didn't know there was a White Day!
"I didn't know either. If it weren't for the company doing promotions, and an employee proposed such a plan, I wouldn't have known what White Day is!" Zhang Bing explained, "This White Day is actually a day for the girl or boy to return the favor by giving presents to his or her loved one!"
"Return the favor?" Yang Ming became interested. He didn't expect his birthday would meet such a celebration! Yang Ming learned this for the first time.
"In fact, 'Valentine's Day' and 'White Day' originated in Rome in the third century." Zhang Bing applied what he learned immediately. He came upon this knowledge from the employee's promotion plan in the company. "On February 14th, the Roman emperor saved a pair of lovers who had to be executed because of their violation of the marriage ban. The Roman emperor set up Valentine's Day to commemorate the day. On March 14th, one month later, the pair of lovers who were rescued swore to love each other until they died. To commemorate this day, he set this day as White Day. Then, this festival spread from Europe to other parts of the world."
"What does this have to do with returning the favor?" Yang Ming listened inexplicably.
"Bro, let me finish talking!" Zhang Bing said with a bitter smile, "It is said that if a man or a woman receives a Valentine's Day gift from the opposite sex on February 14th, and the target also has the same affection for the other party, he or she will return a gift on March 14th. That means they are already in love with each other. This is the origin of the festival!"
"It turned out to be like this! D*mn. If I receive a bunch of birthday presents later, how should it count? Does it count as a White Day present or a birthday present?" Yang Ming smiled after listening to Zhang Bing's words.
"Hah, that's a matter between you and the sisters-in-law; it has nothing to do with me. I just told you what I know!" Zhang Bing said quickly. He didn't want to meddle in Yang Ming's family affairs. After all, it was not a year ago.
It's really fun to think about it. A year ago, my bro and I were still talking about Chen Mengyan. Now Chen Mengyan has become my sister-in-law... So Zhang Bing merely dared not to comment again.
As Yang Ming and Zhang Bing were talking, suddenly the door of the restaurant was pushed open with a loud bang. Four young people wearing black leather jackets with cigarettes in their mouths walked in. The young man with sunglasses who was the leader shouted unscrupulously, "Who is the boss here?"
"I am..." The middle-aged man next to Zhang Bing became anxious and greeted him with a smile. "May I ask what you want?"
"You are the boss?" The sunglasses man spit the cigarette in his mouth on the carpet, and then ground it with his foot. A black mark appeared on the red carpet immediately.
The Ju Yuan Chun Restaurant's boss also knew that these four people weren't kind. Listening to their tone, he knew that they were here to stir up trouble, so he didn't dare to be angry. He said carefully, "I am..."
"Well, since you are the boss, I will not say much!" The sunglasses man snorted. "Do you know what I am here for?"
"I don't know... May ask this little brother is..." The Ju Yuan Chun Restaurant's boss asked quickly.
"Brother your *ss; who is your brother?" The sunglasses man grabbed the neck collar of Ju Yuan Chun's boss and pushed him so hard that he stumbled. Then he said, "I am from the Ming Yang Company. You should have heard of it."
"Ming Yang Company... yes, I have heard of it..." Ju Yuan Chun's boss nodded quickly. Ming Yang Company started to prosper this year. How could he not know? For those who ran a restaurant business, who didn't know the name of Ming Yang, and Brother Bao?
"That's great. Then, I don't have to explain what we are doing." The sunglasses man snorted. "My boss asked you to prepare fifty thousand yuan as a protection fee! You pay this amount every month!"
"Ah..." Ju Yuan Chun's boss was stunned and said, "Fifty thousand yuan is too much. I can only earn a few fifty thousand yuan in a month..."
"I don't f*cking care how much you earn. If my boss asks you to pay fifty thousand yuan, then you have to give me fifty thousand yuan!" The sunglasses men obviously didn't want to talk much with Ju Yuan Chun's boss, as he waved his hand and spoke.
"May I ask who your boss is..." Ju Yuan Chun's boss saw that the sunglasses man was stubborn, so he had to ask. In fact, he also had some security guards and strong waiters in his restaurant. He could drive these four guys out, but he couldn't afford to offend the backer of these guys. Who dared to provoke the Ming Yang Company? Therefore, Ju Yuan Chun's boss was angry, but he didn't dare to act rashly.
"Motherf*cker, my boss is Bao Sanli, Brother Bao. You don't know?" The sunglasses man glared.
Yang Ming thought it was a little punk who had seen a lot of movies, but he didn't expect that these people could directly say the name of Bao Sanli! Not many people knew the name of Bao Sanli. Everyone knew that he was called Brother Bao, but no one knew he was Bao Sanli! The people who knew the name of Bao Sanli were very rare. Except for the staff of Ming Yang's regular business companies, the underworld people hardly knew about it.
So, when Yang Ming heard the sunglasses man mentioning the name of Bao Sanli, he frowned and didn't know what identity this person had.
When Ju Yuan Chun's boss heard the name of Bao Sanli, he was astounded abruptly. He certainly knew of Brother Bao, so he quickly said, "It turns out to be Brother Bao..."
"It's good that you know it. I thought you didn't know. If you don't know, I will beat you until you know it!" The sunglasses man snorted and said, "Tomorrow, give me fifty thousand yuan. I will come and receive it personally. Otherwise, don't even think about running this restaurant!"
After that, the sunglasses man did not care about what Ju Yuan Chun's boss thought. He directly waved his hand and took his three underlings out of the Ju Yuan Chun Restaurant.
Yang Ming pretended to take out his mobile phone to text when the sunglasses man spoke, but he was actually taking a picture of the four people with the camera function of the mobile phone. Then he sent it to Bao Sanli via MMS and used SMS to ask him if he knew these people.
Zhang Bing naturally knew Bao Sanli and also vaguely knew the relationship between Bao Sanli and Yang Ming. However, since Yang Ming did not speak at the moment, Zhang Bing did not dare to do anything. He stood by the side with Yang Ming, watching the incident quietly.
"Ai." After the four people left, Ju Yuan Chun's boss sighed and said, "This business is getting harder and harder. I thought that after Song Jiang's underworld is unified, I wouldn't have to pay black money like protection fees every month. However, I did not expect that I have to pay more!"
"Could it be that they are impersonating?" Yang Ming said suddenly.
"Impersonating? How can that be?" Ju Yuan Chun's boss shook his head and said, "Who dared merely to impersonate? If Brother Bao knew about it, wouldn't they be dead? I think this was definitely instructed by Brother Bao. Ai! Okay, don't think about this first. You are a friend of Zhang Bing; you are having a birthday today, so don't be bothered by this trouble!"
Although the amount of fifty thousand yuan a month was a big number, Ju Yuan Chun's boss could still afford it. The size of this restaurant wasn't small. He could earn at least one hundred thousand yuan a month. If he paid fifty thousand yuan, he still had around thirty thousand yuan to fifty thousand yuan. It was considered giving him some leeway.
Soon, Yang Ming's mobile phone received a text message from Bao Sanli. "Brother Yang, I don't know these four people. What's the situation?"
Yang Ming saw Bao Sanli's text message and frowned. As expected, they are just impersonating, but aren't they quite bold? They actually dare use the banner of the Ming Yang Company and Bao Sanli to swindle!
Yang Ming replied, describing what exactly happened just now to Bao Sanli. He ordered him to strictly check these people who swindled in the name of Ming Yang! If there were more of these incidents, wouldn't Ming Yang's reputation be ruined by these people?
Bao Sanli replied, saying that he would definitely send someone to check the matter thoroughly, but he also noted that it was his first time encountering such an incident. He had never heard of similar things happening before.
Looking at Bao Sanli's text message, Yang Ming felt something was off in this matter, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Yang Ming shook his head. Over there, Zhang Bing had already talked to Ju Yuan Chun's boss about other things and left the unpleasantness behind.
By listening to the conversation between Ju Yuan Chun's boss and Zhang Bing, Yang Ming learned that Ju Yuan Chun's boss had made a lot of money in recent years, and he was ready to withdraw from the catering industry. After that, he would go abroad to find his son who was studying abroad.
However, Yang Ming also guessed that the withdrawal of Ju Yuan Chun's boss must have a lot to do with today's events. Perhaps he had the intention to retire a long time ago, but today's incident made him more determined.
As they were talking, Zhao Ying walked gracefully into the restaurant. She also carried a small gift box in her hand. When he saw Yang Ming and Zhang Bing, she smiled and nodded at them.
"Teacher Zhao..." Although Zhang Bing also faintly knew that there seemed to be some flirting between Yang Ming and Zhao Ying, he didn't know about the details. He didn't have much contact with her usually. At this time, when he saw Zhao Ying suddenly appear here, he became somewhat cautious. After all, Zhao Ying was his former teacher. He couldn't adapt to it for a while.
"Hehe, Zhang Bing, you are also here." Zhao Ying said with a smile. "You don't have to call me Teacher Zhao. I am in the same school as you. Now, we are alumni. You and Yang Ming can call me Sister Ying or senior."
Yang Ming had some doubts. Is this Zhao Ying? A few days ago on QQ, Zhao Ying was still crying. How come she acts so natural today? It seems like nothing happened?
"Sister Ying, that... that day..." Yang Ming scratched his head. There was something he couldn't say when Zhang Bing was still beside him.
Zhang Bing also realized that he was being a third wheel, so he quickly went to the side to continue to talk with Ju Yuan Chun's boss. After Yang Ming paused, he found it hard to continue.
"What that day?" Zhao Ying smiled slightly and handed the gift in her hand to Yang Ming without any anger. "This is for you. Happy birthday."
"Thank you!" Since Zhao Ying was being so normal, Yang Ming couldn't say anything more. He took the gift from Zhao Ying's hand and said, "Is this a birthday gift or a Valentine's Day return gift?"
"What Valentine's Day return gift? When did you send me a gift for Valentine's Day?" As Zhao Ying spoke up to here, she suddenly realized that she had made a slip of the tongue. She complained with a red face, "Don't talk nonsense. Do you want it? I will take it back if you don't."
"I want… Of course, I want it." Yang Ming smiled and thought, Zhao Ying seems to know about the White Day! Listening to what she said in her words, she seems to be complaining about me for not giving her a Valentine's Day gift.
I'm really wronged. Of course, I want to give one, but I'm afraid that the gift will be rejected after I give it!
"Sister Ying, let's go upstairs. I will take you to the private room upstairs." Yang Ming saw Zhao Ying was a little embarrassed and understood that her face was relatively thin. Zhao Ying's temper was like this. If he were going overboard, he would make her back down. Yang Ming must handle it appropriately.
"I won't go. Chen Mengyan, and Zhao Sisi, they will come in a while. I was your teacher, after all, so it will be awkward to talk if I am here." Zhao Ying shook her head and said, "I am just here to give you a gift. I will leave first."
"Ah? Don't, Sister Ying. Aren't you familiar with Mengyan? It will be fine if you are here..." Yang Ming was astounded after listening to Zhao Ying's words, and he immediately invited her.
"But, I'm not familiar with Zhao Sisi. I am the teacher of Zhang Bing and Zhao Sisi. They must not be used to it; you look at Zhang Bing. He isn't used to it now!" Zhao Ying said with a smile. "Okay, I will go first. I wish you all a good time!"
"This..." Yang Ming was really inexplicable about Zhao Ying's behavior today. What is going on? She just came here to give me a present and leave?
However, seeing Zhao Ying insisting on leaving, Yang Ming had no choice but to walk her to the door, and then he waved goodbye to Zhao Ying. Yang Ming initially wanted to take the opportunity to apologize for what he did that day, but when he saw Zhao Ying's happy face, Yang Ming really couldn't speak!
This is simply too strange! Did Zhao Ying forget the unhappy matter of that day? But if she really forgot the unhappy matter of that day, why didn't she stay and eat together?
A woman's mind... especially Zhao Ying's mind, Yang Ming really couldn't figure out. This is really troublesome! Yang Ming hated his own timidity. If he forcibly kissed Zhao Ying that night, and if he even touched her forcibly, and then did something that was more than friendship, then their relationship would probably be settled.
"Bro, where did Teacher Zhao go?" Zhang Bing saw Yang Ming send Zhao Ying away, so he asked, baffled.
"She was afraid that you and Sisi were not used to it, so she left first." Yang Ming shrugged and replied.
"I? And Sisi are not used to it? No way, right?" Zhang Bing suddenly said with a bitter face after listening. "Bro, how can you blame me? I even become a sinner now..."
"It's okay. In fact, Sister Ying has something to do in school..." Yang Ming saw Zhang Bing blaming himself, so he quickly comforted, "I'm just making a joke..."
Although Yang Ming did not know why Zhao Ying insisted on going, he probably guessed the reason. It should still be related to him on that day. Yang Ming would not be stupid enough to think that Zhao Ying had forgotten the matter on that day. Zhao Ying didn't mention it, because she didn't want to make the both of them awkward, right?
"Ai, you really scared me!" Zhang Bing broke into a sweat and said, "Bro, you really scared me to death. I almost became a sinner..."
"Don't talk nonsense. I don't have anything to do with Sister Ying. It's not the kind of relationship you think." Yang Ming was afraid that Zhang Bing had a loose tongue and exposed something to Chen Mengyan; then it would mess up the matter, so he quickly instructed.
"Oh, I understand; I totally understand!" Zhang Bing acted like he knew everything, and smiled evilly and nodded.
"D*mn" Yang Ming was furious. "You know my *ss. You don't know anything!"
The restaurant door was pushed open again as they were joking; four girls came in. One of them wore a black professional suit; she was, as expected, Zhang Bing's wife, Zhao Sisi, but what surprised Yang Ming were the other three girls!
Today, Chen Mengyan, Lin Zhiyun, and Zhou Jiajia were wearing the same style of jackets. Not only that, but their hairstyles, scarves, gloves, and boots were exactly the same. They were like triplets.
Yang Ming looked at the three beautiful people in front of him. He was so surprised that he dropped his jaws and was speechless...


Yang Ming is an underachiever in high school. Unmotivated, he skips class to shoot pool, cheats on his exams and gets into fights. However, by an act of goodwill and fate, he obtains some high-tech contact lenses that give him superpowers. Together with his gangster street-smarts and ruthless fighting skills, it doesn't take long for him dramatically change his life for the better.
As his journey unfolds, he battles against society's big guns and attempts to bring justice into an unjust world. Along the way, he has many interesting and romantic encounters with the ladies who are charmed by his shameless flirting.
How will he use his superpowers?
Will he be able to overcome evil and bring justice to the world?
Who will he choose to be with at the end?

The next morning at 7:00 am...

Everyone had already arrived at the company, even before the usual meeting time. All of them were in place, only waiting for Zhang Xiaohua to arrange their work, including Mr. Xu.
 
Whenever there was a job, everyone was always especially motivated.

This was the so-called driving force to success.

Today's job was to record the music video for Ling Ming's song: "Can I Hold You?"

However, Zhang Xiaohua was struggling. He could only think of a few shots of the original music video. All the other shots were forgotten.

Apart from the main scene, it seemed that he would have to create new scenes to match the music video theme.

Taking advantage of his spare time, Zhang Xiaohua took himself to the computer and first described the several shots he remembered from his memory. Then, he designed several sub-cameras according to the theme of the song. After filtering out his ideas, Zhang Xiaohua only retained ten scenes, they were to be shot in three venues and divided into day and night scenes.

For a song that lasted less than five minutes, these ten scenes would be enough. Switching back and forth would be fine.

In order to show off the luxuriousness of the music video, Zhang Xiaohua decided to record a scene at home in the villa and rented out a Western restaurant for the other. As for the last scene, it was a bit more complicated, they would have to use a water gun and a water pump to create a rainy scene. This was the essence of the entire music video and it complemented the lyrics.

After drafting a rough plan, Zhang Xiaohua proceeded to give everyone their tasks, one at a time: "Emma, ​​take Ming'er to buy two sets of clothes, it must be a dress without a collar, buy one in black and one white. Don't be afraid to spend money, but don't be too mundane, it's good to let Ming'er wear something feminine."

"Ah!" Emma's spirit was invigorated, she immediately pulled Ling Ming along. In an instant, they both had disappeared from everyone's sight.

The others eagerly looked forward to their tasks, staring at Zhang Xiaohua with a expectant gazes. Even Xiaohai's eyes were full of pleading.

Zhang Xiaohua temporarily ignored the existence of them and turned to Xu Fengnian: "Mr. Xu, do you know the boss of a restaurant? I want to rent a western restaurant. It's best if their walls are white. We will need it for like an hour or so."

Xu Fengnian thought for a moment, then nodded his head and said: "I happen to know the boss of a western restaurant. The furnishings in the restaurant were almost the same as what you said. Rest assured, I'll personally make the trip, I will arrange it to meet the requirements you want." After that, he strode out heading straight to the restaurant.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the notepad in his hand and called out to Xiaohai: "Xiaohai, you need to go and buy two large kettles, the kind for watering flowers, and then go rent a generator, don't worry, you will be reimbursed by the company."

"Ok, I'm off then." Xiaohai shuddered and joined the battlefield—the grocery market.

"Haozi, Jimmy, Jack, you three go buy two water guns and water pipes, and then buy a high-pressure pump. The expenses will be accounted for by the company," Zhang Xiaohua seriously commanded.

"Received!" The three people had a firm backboard with a tough task and they were out of the door.

Seeing that everyone else had a job, Yuan Datong has anxious his heart. If he didn't find something to do quickly, he would feel itchy and extremely uncomfortable.

"Xiao-Hua, they all have their tasks. What should I do?" Yuan Datong pointed his fingers at him and looked at Zhang Xiaohua with a pitiful look. He was eager to receive work.

"Oh..." Xiao-Hua couldn't help but laugh, he planned to just laze about till everything was ready for filming.

Bringing out two five jiao coins, he extended them to Yuan Datong: "Go to the grocery store up the road and buy two popsicles to eat. I'll treat you!"

"F*** off!" Yuan Datong grunted in anger, brushing away his hand. 

"..." Zhang Xiaohua was depressed thinking about it. Apart from getting Yuan Datong to buy ice cream, there was really nothing he could think of for him to do.

In desperation, Zhang Xiaohua could only take out his house key and hand it to Yuan Datong: "If you don't feel tired, go to the house and clean up a bit. My mother and Liu Yan aren't home. I haven't been home for several days. In the meantime, the villa has probably collected a lot of dust. Go back and clean it, we're gonna shoot a scene there later."

Yuan Datong smiled, went out and stopped a taxi, quickly rushing towards Zhang Xiaohua's home.

"Oh, I've never seen so many workaholics!" Zhang Xiaohua shook his head and sat back in the sofa, turned on the tv and began to relax.

...

Two hours later, Zhou Yi drove the equipment over.

At the request of Zhang Xiaohua, Zhou Yi brought in two film cameras and six high-energy spotlights. Of course, professional photographers and lighting specialists were indispensable, and a professional makeup artist was also brought in.

Thanks to Wang Jingwen, currently the company's assets had reached 15 million, so this time Zhang Xiaohua decided to invest heavily, to create the top notch music video for Ling Ming.

The most important thing currently was to film the music video for "Can I Hold You?" and continue to record songs for Ling Ming, and then continue to shot music videos for those songs. She was almost fully booked for this month and she had a lot of work to do.

Ten o'clock in the morning, everyone who was sent out had already returned to the company one after another. They had all completed the tasks assigned by Zhang Xiaohua.

Zhang Xiaohua was very satisfied, and he intended to record the first scene at the western restaurant. He then said to Ling Ming, "You should first change into your white dress."

She nodded, and went upstairs to change. When she re-appeared in front of everyone, they could not help but stare. Her looks had a refreshing simplicity to it.

Xu Fengnian suddenly realised that this was the natural beauty that Zhang Xiaohua wanted.

At this moment, he had to say that this young girl was truly beautiful. Although the dress still couldn't hide her countryside flavor, it enhanced her honest and simple temperament. 

Having become accustomed to seeing city girls who plastered on heavy makeup, now seeing Ling Ming was like a fresh breeze. For those with a refined taste, this was a fairy from heaven! 

At this point, seeing how Ling Ming looked like, Xu Fengnian thought about that face painted with powder and dressed up in exposing clothes. Shaking his head involuntarily, his face gradually floated out a look of disappointment, deeply sighing in his heart: Truly a vulgar girl!

Half an hour later, under the leadership of Xu Fengnian, they arrived at the western restaurant in the city centre.

Zhang Xiaohua looked around the surroundings, well, it was exactly the scene he wanted. It was spacious and translucent with proper lighting. Seeing Xu Fengnian so deeply involved, the boss had promised to let them use the venue free of charge. 

The scene was very simple. Ling Ming would be sitting in front of a dining table in the middle of the restaurant. With a slightly sad expression and facing the camera, she then would sing the first two verses. 

After talking with the photographer and the lighting engineer, the photographer immediately set up the machine and the lighting technicians quickly prepared. When the high-energy spotlights were arranged around they instantly shone an ambient light around the room. The room was clear and shiny as if in a fantasy setting.

Perhaps because the surrounding lights were too bright, at first glance, Ling Ming's body was almost surrounded by a layer of white light, as if a holy glow was wrapping around her. The scene looked impeccable!

"Boss, are you sure you're not shooting a movie?" Emma spoke in awe of the shot, she was constantly looking around, completely attracted by the immediate environment, as if watching a big blockbuster.

Zhang Xiaohua is also surprised to see the colour, this time the effect of this scene had exceeded his imagination, it was thanks to manager Xu, the lighting divisions and good old plain luck.Without them, how would they have found such a perfect angle to catch this effect?

It was a pleasing mirage, they all praised Ling Ming in their hearts. Truly a perfect scene, uncomparable!

After everything was ready, Zhang Xiaohua sat in front of the monitor, nodded to Emma and then said: "Start it."

Emma went to the camera, pointed the film cards in her hand at the camera and shouted, "First take of Scene 1 in day time. Ready... and Action!"

As Emma's voice fell, the cameras started to roll. Ling Ming was in her best state according to Zhang Xiaohua's request. Her expression was slightly sad as she looked forward. Zhang Xiaohua looked through the monitor and felt an urge to hug her!

The process was very smooth...

Zhang Xiaohua was a washed-up artist who tragically passed away in a car accident after heroically saving a child’s life. After his death, Zhang Xiaohua’s soul was transmigrated into a parallel universe where the entertainment industry has become sluggish.

At the dining table.
Lin Fan just treated it like a normal outing. He drank and feasted. He probably wouldn't be able to drive home later.
Chen Chang Sheng was really happy. He raised his glass, "Master Lin, I'll give you a toast. Let me introduce you to a friend of mine."
Then, Chen Chang Sheng pointed to a middle-aged man beside him, "This is my secondary school classmate. He is currently working in the food and beverages industry in Zhongzhou. This time, he came to Shanghai to visit me and I arranged for us to meet up together."
The man stood up and smiled, "Hi, Master Lin, I am Xu Fei Yuan. I have heard of Master Lin's name. This time, it's my honor to meet all of you here, including Master Lin. I am finishing this glass of wine as a form of respect."
"Oh, so you're from the same village," Lin Fan smiled and said.
Xu Fei Yuan had been doing really well in Zhongzhou. This time, he came to Shanghai to catch up with his classmate and perhaps boost his business. When he heard that a lot of wealthy men were gathering for a meal, he was really excited about it.
Especially when he heard that one of them was Master Lin. He couldn't contain his excitement at all.
He didn't really dare to speak at the table as he was afraid of offending people. He only started to speak when Chen Chang Sheng introduced him to everyone else. That was when he introduced himself to the others.
Wang Ming Yang and the others were friendly and they gave Chen Chang Sheng face. "Since you're Chief Chen's friend, you're our friend now. You don't have to be too formal. We can talk about anything."
Although Xu Fei Yuan was pretty well to do, he couldn't match up to the wealth of the people at the table.
After hearing that, he became livelier. He started toasting everyone and tried to make friends with them.
After three rounds of drinking.
Everyone started to talk about other random things.
Chen Chang Sheng's face was red. He patted Xu Fei Yuan's shoulder, "I heard your restaurant just had two new dishes and they're really popular now. Is it being sold to the other cities?"
When Xu Fei Yuan heard that, he smiled, "Brother Chen, these two dishes are really decent. They helped me to expand my market outreach. These dishes can be said to be my signature dishes."
"Haha, if we're talking about cooking, we should mention that Master Lin is a superb cook. Those that have tried his food before will never be able to forget its taste," He Cheng Han said and laughed.
He had eaten Lin Fan's food before and he had been craving for it ever since then.
Xu Fei Yuan was a little drunk and he started to talk more, "Actually, these two dishes weren't mine initially. They belong to a small restaurant. There was once I returned home from working overseas and I was hungry. I found a random restaurant to have my meal in. That was when I found the treasure. These two dishes were really delicious. Then, I told them to cease operations and let me be the chef there. If not, they could sell the recipe to me."
"Guess what happened next."
Jin Yun Ming smiled, "Did you fight with them over it?"
Those that discussed business deals would discuss things first. If they couldn't reach a common agreement, they would think of other ways to get what they wanted.
"Not really. I saw that they were hiring people. Hence, I sent my head chef down to work for them. You should know what the outcome was like by now," Xu Fei Yuan laughed.
Every time he thought about it, he felt that he was really smart for doing that.
"That was superb. He learned a new skill and that is irreplaceable," He Cheng Han laughed. He felt that this fella was pretty smart.
Xu Fei Yuan waved his hands modestly, "It wasn't superb. That was just a corporate move. My head chef worked in their kitchen for a month and he watched everything that they did. He slowly managed to master the skills and patented the dishes."
"The small restaurant didn't patent the dishes?" someone asked.
Xu Fei Yuan smiled, "Why would those people know the importance of a patent? My restaurants now depend on these two dishes and they are gradually expanding to other markets. It also has different packages. We use vacuum packaging for deliveries and the income is pretty good."
The others were envious of him. They didn't expect this fella to be so lucky. He actually made a fortune after eating a meal. Where would they be able to find such a good deal?
Lin Fan interrupted, "Does that mean the small restaurant is out of business?"
He couldn't get used to such a behavior.
Meanwhile, He Cheng Han and the others were stunned. They knew that Master Lin loved to stand up for the weak. He didn't like to befriend those that did evil things.
The things that they said earlier were just for bragging rights.
However, Xu Fei Yuan didn't know that. He just wanted to show his determination in front of all of them.
"That can't be helped. That's how businesses work. After I got the patent rights, I stopped them from selling these two dishes. If they wanted to sell them, they had to pay. Because of this, we went to court but I had all the evidence. Obviously, I won the case."
Lin Fan furrowed his brows. He wondered why this person was so cunning.
Chen Chang Sheng realized that Master Lin was a little unhappy and it was probably because of what he was saying. He immediately nudged his friend and asked him to stop talking about it.
"Alright, alright. Let's not talk about that. Let's talk about something else," Chen Chang Sheng tried to change the topic.
Lin Fan knocked the table, "Chief Xu, what are the two dishes called?"
Chen Chang Sheng knew that something was wrong when he heard Master Lin asking about it. Then, he looked at Wang Ming Yang.
However, Wang Ming Yang just shook his head. It was clear that he should stay out of this matter.
Meanwhile, He Cheng Han and the others didn't say anything else. They just looked at each other. They knew that Master Lin was probably unhappy because of what he said. They looked at Chen Chang Sheng and wondered why he asked someone like him over for dinner.
They thought about it further.
It was really pretty despicable.
He had a big organization and he still bullied a small restaurant. It was shameful to even speak of it.
Xu Fei Yuan smiled, "Oh, these two dishes are called, 'Mirror Box Tofu' and 'Cherry Pork'. They're really delicious. Next time, I'll let everyone try them."
When Lin Fan heard that, his face changed.
Wang Ming Yang was observing his best friend's expressions. When he saw his face changed, he knew that something was wrong.
Sh*t was about to go down.
This time, Lin Fan took out his phone and called someone.
"Everyone, please keep quiet. I'm making a call," Lin Fan said to everyone.
Then, there was silence in the private room.
Soon, the person picked up.
"Ke, how's life?" Lin Fan asked calmly.
The person on the phone remained silent for a moment. Then, he smiled, "I'm doing pretty well. How's life in Shanghai recently? I read the news about you heading to the northeast. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I'm back in Shanghai now. How's business recently?" Lin Fan asked.
Bai Ke hesitated for a moment, "It's pretty good. Business is good. Don't worry. Tell me when you're in Zhongzhou next time. I will welcome you warmly."
Bai Ke was really depressed and lifeless. However, since his classmate called him, he had to sound energetic.
However, he felt like he let him down.
"Alright, I'll hang up now. I have something to handle here," said Lin Fan.
"Okay."
After hanging up.
Lin Fan smiled and stood up. "Just as everyone's here today, I'll cook two dishes for everyone to try. How's that?"
Wang Ming Yang smiled and nodded, "Sure."
...


I am Lin Fan and I've become a jack of all trades just because of a powerful Encyclopedia. 
In the first ever competition organised for trolls, all the other contestants lost. The crowd exclaimed, "Brother, you're so good at trolling." 
Lin Fan replied, "But I've never been trolling..."

Pei Qian looked around as he walked. At the same time, he thought hard.
Many shops were being renovated in the area. This meant that if he opened the high-end restaurant here, there was a significantly higher chance of people finding it. Thus, all the locations that he chose a few days ago had become void immediately. 
Pei Qian walked and walked and subconsciously arrived near the Ming Yun Villas residential area. When he saw the faintly discernible villas halfway up the hill in front of him, he fell into deeper thought. 
Ming Yun Villas' was built at the base of a nameless hill (or a little bump) in Jingzhou City's outskirts. Most villas were at the foot of the hill, but some were built halfway up the hill. These were referred to as 'hilltop villas'. Based on Pei Qian's understanding, not many of the Ming Yun Villas were sold. This was true especially for the ones built halfway up the hill. 
There were two main reasons for this. 
First, the villas had no investment value. They were too expensive, and few people would have been able to afford them. 
Ming Yun Villas was considered the outskirts of Jingzhou City. In order to buy a place here, most people needed to have a similarly-priced property in the city. What's more, most people were not willing to live in the outskirts. 
If they only bought a villa as a holiday home to stay in occasionally, the quality-price ratio would be too low. 
Thus, it was easy for the villa to completely lose its value after being purchased. Unless they were extreme ballers who had too much money and who only wanted to spend it all, people would not be inclined to buy a villa here. 
Second, the hilltop villas in Ming Yun Villas were built based on the standards of hilltop villas overseas. All of them were designed by top designers who personally led the renovations. Thus, they were much more expensive than the villas at the foot of the hill. There were even infinity pools and gaudy decorations in the hilltop villas. 
After they were put up for sale, most people had no idea how to foot the bill. 
On one hand, they were too expensive. On the other hand, ballers who bought villas normally had specific requirements for the renovations. Some hated the designers' work and insisted on having things done their own way. 
The plans that many ballers had were indescribable. Some wanted Baroque architecture with old-fashioned square tables that could seat eight; some wanted French-style villas with red, wooden furniture; some wanted Mediterranean-style villas with stone lions at the entrance; some wanted courtyard cottages with Koi ponds; and some wanted Chinese-style villas mixed with European neoclassical styles.
These were just the more basic ones. 
After buying their villas, the first thing many ballers did was to knock down the walls and institutions and change the structure of the house. Then, they got their own designers to turn the villas into self-built homes. They even insisted on adding a bunch of prohibited structures in the process. 
After all, not all ballers and rich people would have good taste; but all of them would have unique requirements for the villas they bought. 
That was how these hilltop villas in Ming Yun Villas ended up in this awkward situation. 
They had all been renovated and uniquely designed, so that they were being sold at sky-high prices. Yet, ballers still did not like them. 
After buying these villas, ballers would have to undo all the renovations and spend another one or two million yuan renovating everything from scratch. Instead of doing that, they would much rather buy semi-finished products.
Based on these considerations, the quality-price ratio would be as good as zero. 
Thus, these hilltop villas did the worst out of all of Ming Yun Villas. One could say that they were ultimate failures. 
This was the most ridiculous thing: a plot of land in the residential area was to be used for commercial and residential purposes. Thus, a small portion of the villas was to have commercial qualities as well. According to the original plan, these semi-commercial villas were to be placed in the north-west region. What's more, they were to be separated from the other purely-residential villas. This was even more unappealing. 
Yet, Pei Qian thought that this was not a bad location. 
If he could set up the restaurant there, wouldn't it be even more difficult for people to find it? Compared to the previous shop spaces he chose, this one would be even more hidden! 
In terms of practicality, the semi-commercial villas could be used for purely commercial purposes, as long as he fulfilled the fire stations' and hygiene authorities' requirements. 
Since Pei Qian was starting a high-end restaurant, he would definitely work according to those standards. On top of this, he would pay attention to the effect he would have on the surrounding residents. 
The restaurant could create noise pollution, disturbance to residents, and problems with parking management. This might affect the residents' daily lives. 
However, this should not be much of a problem. 
This was because the semi-commercial villas had already been separated from the purely residential villas. What's more, the hilltop villas stood alone. There were no surrounding buildings either. 
According to the plan, semi-commercial villas had their own entrances. This would make it convenient for cars to come in and out. 
The restaurant would not have too many customers as well. At the very most, Pei Qian would bring his employees here for a meal. They would only have meals here and would not engage in other activities like singing. By 8 PM, they would be gone. That would ensure that they did not disturb the residents. 
Compared to the shops he chose earlier, this place was located much deeper in the area as well. It would be much harder for people to find it! 
Who would expect a restaurant to be hidden among a bunch of villas? 
Pei Qian was overjoyed. See, this was a blessing in disguise! I had to give up the few shop spaces that I found, but I ended up stumbling upon an even better location! 
The only question is whether I can rent a villa and how much that rent is. If I can't, I wonder if I can buy it. 
According to the System, Pei Qian could not purchase and invest in property on a large scale. 
However, he wanted to use System Funds to buy a semi-commercial villa in order to open a high-end restaurant under his business name. He would not be purchasing properties in bulk, and he would not be investing in the property market either. There shouldn't be a problem, right? 
At that thought, Pei Qian led Ma Yang and Zhang Yuan straight into Ming Yun Villas. 
Zhang Yuan was even more confused.
What is Boss Pei doing? 
Was he hoping to buy a villa for himself just because they accidentally stumbled upon Ming Yun Villas and he suddenly felt like it? 
Yes, given Boss Pei's income, it should not be that difficult for him to purchase a villa here. 
Zhang Yuan did not think too much and continued following behind Pei Qian. 
… 
When they arrived at the sales building, Pei Qian explained the purpose of their visit. The lady at the front desk made a call and then offered drinks to the three men. About half an hour later, Manager Cui rushed over. 
While rushing over, Manager Cui had felt confused. Why was a customer taking the initiative to approach the sales building today? This was mysterious! 
This was like people taking the initiative to approach insurance companies, wanting to buy insurance. It's unheard of. 
From the get-go, Ming Yun Villas has been up for sale. Almost a year has passed since. Interested ballers would have bought their villas a long time ago. Why would they wait until now? 
Yet, whatever it was, it was a good thing that customers were coming of their own accord. Even if they were not sincere about buying a villa and merely wanted to take a look, Manager Cui still had to host them.
After greeting Manager Cui, Pei Qian got straight to the point. 
"Manager Cui, can I rent a hilltop villa?" 
Manager Cui had just sat down and taken a sip of tea. He nearly choked on his drink when he heard the question. 
The young man in front of him was dressed in a custom-made suit. He did not look poor. Yet, he was not here to buy a villa but to rent one? 
According to the relevant regulations—if developers had ownership of the properties, they could rent them out. 
However, who could afford to rent villas? 
If they really rented the villas according to market price, it would cost about two to three hundred thousand yuan a month to rent a villa. Who would be bored enough to rent a villa in such a deserted place? This area was not even suited for living long-term. 
What's more—even if people really were interested in renting the villas, the developer was not. 
The villas had all been uniquely renovated. The pools and various furniture also had to be regularly maintained. Every now and then, they would have to be cleaned and repaired. For all they knew, a baller would take a liking to the villa; and they would be able to sell it. 
Maintenance problems aside—even if they rented the villas out, the developers would only get two or three hundred thousand yuan a month. They really did not care for that. 
Manager Cui looked apologetic as he said, "I'm really sorry, Sir. We can only sell our villas, not rent them out."
Pei Qian nodded. He had been prepared for this. "Is that so? What a pity. I have no choice but to buy one then." 
He said this for the System to hear. Look, I tried to save the company's money. I've found a villa suitable to turn into a high-end restaurant, but the developers would only sell the villas, not rent them out! 
Manager Cui looked confused and shocked. 
What did he mean by 'What a pity, I have no choice but to buy one then'?! 
Why did he sound reluctant?! 
Pei Qian sipped his drink and asked about the price. 
Manager Cui quickly answered, "If you're looking at our hilltop villas, they are almost six hundred square meters big. They have independent lifts, pools, gardens, and maintenance. They are being sold at about twelve thousand yuan per square meter. That adds up to about 6.3 million yuan in total."
Pei Qian remained silent for a moment and said, "It doesn't sound… too expensive."


I really just want to lose money! T_T
Best boss ever, prodigy of the business world, genius creator, visionary of the century.
These are the descriptions used for Pei Qian, President of Tengda Corporation.
Ever since his rebirth, Pei Qian finds himself in possession of a system that rewards him if he manages to lose money.
Instantly, a brilliant idea comes to mind — making crappy games!
"If the game flops, all my investment cost will be lost!"
"How difficult can it be to lose money?"
Indeed... how difficult can it be?

After taking a shower, Xie Ming dressed in a white-colored blouse and maroon skirt with nude-colored heels. She dressed neatly because she has to attend the script reading and has to look presentable.
She dried her hair and put on some makeup on. When she looked at her in the mirror, she sighed seeing the red marks on her neck. 
Last night, even though they didn't pass the last step, Liwei has done everything he wanted to do. He enjoyed himself to the fullest using her upper body instead.
She felt that they didn't stop but instead he changed his way of doing things.
She didn't bring any turtle neck tops so that she could wear them to hide these marks. And who wears turtle neck tops in summer? 
She looked at those marks and remembered the scene from last night which made her blush involuntarily. 
When she was showering, she saw in the mirror that he had left many marks on her body. Her
' breasts' have suffered the most. If he could have eaten them then he would have done it happily.
She doesn't understand why he was so obsessed with her bosoms?
Though she has suffered from it, however, she could feel the warm feeling in her heart. Though they haven't done it all the way, still it was their first step to pass that level. 
It feels like they're slowly breaking their barriers. 
Thankfully, the marks were light in color, so she hides them with the makeup. She also wore a scarf for safety. She does not want anyone to see these marks.
Though after applying makeup, she can't see anything she still wanted to be safe. 
She combed her hair slowly. Her gaze fell on her phone which was in charge. 
She checked it and realized that there was no message from Liwei. 
She was a little disappointed about it because he didn't even wake her up before leaving and hadn't even talked after last night. 
She has experienced many things in the past, so that's why she was more sensitive towards these things than others.
She stared at her phone for a while and decided to call him. 
Before she could call him, her phone suddenly started ringing. 
It was Liwei. 
Seeing his call, her heart was touched and a smile plastered on her lips. 
It was not a big deal but she felt delighted that he was thinking about her as well.
' So, he was also thinking about me.' 
After picking up the call, before she could say anything, she heard his voice from the other side, 
" You wake up?" 
His manly charming voice ringed in her ears like music. It was so attractive that she felt her heart beating fast. 
After last night, something changed between their relationship. She felt that she has become more shy and embarrassed while talking to him. 
She smiled without any reason and said in a low voice, " Yes." 
" When did you leave the room?" she asked while fidgeting with her lipstick. 
Liwei raised his brows when he heard her voice. Her voice was extremely gentle and attractive at this moment. 
He remembered how seductive she was looking last night. He couldn't forget her image when she was laid on the bed with her half-naked body.
He could not forget that moment in his life. They didn't do it, but he was satisfied with whatever they did. 
He could not forget how she helped him with her hand later. It was so pleasurable and satisfying that he does not want her to stop. 
But he has to let her go otherwise, her hand will get hurt.
He tried to get out of his thoughts and clears his throat. 
" I left the room in the early morning. I promised you that I will leave the room in the morning, so I have to keep it," he said while cuffing the button of the shirt on his wrist. 
" Hmm. By the way, why did you change me into pajamas?" she asked in displeasure. 
Liwei stopped in his actions and was stunned when he heard his words. 
He raised his brows and his lips curled in a smile and asked in a low seductive voice, " Why? Did you want to remain naked? Hmm, if you like it that way, then you don't need to wear clothes whenever you're with me. I want you to be comfortable." he said as a low chuckle left his mouth. 
Hearing his words, Xie Ming's face turned crimson. She was so embarrassed when she heard his words. 
She opened her mouth to say something but no words came out. 
This man always thinks about what he wants. 
" I.. I didn't mean that. I was just saying that you should have let me change myself when I said earlier. That way you didn't need to change my clothes." she explained herself hurriedly while stuttering in between. 
He laughed lightly and said, " But I like helping you change clothes. I can do this work for my whole life. If you want, I can not help you with changing clothes only but in bathing as well. You will be surprised to see my skills during the bath. Want to try someday?" he asked her playfully.
He could already imagine them together under the shower with their bodies tangled with each other. He tried to pull himself from his unrestrained thoughts.
Xie Ming was speechless hearing his shameless words. 
' This man doesn't know the meaning of being shameless.' 
He keeps making such shameless remarks. 
" If you keep talking like this, then I will hang up. " she threatened him with a stern voice while trying to cover her flushed face.
" Okay, fine. You have your script reading today, right?" he asked her as he sat on the sofa in the room. 
" Yes. We're supposed to leave by 3 in the afternoon after lunch and will reach by the night," she said as she tried to remember the schedule. 
" You don't need to leave. Just make an excuse to stay here," he said casually. 
"Hmm? Why?" Xie Ming was surprised by hearing his words. 
Shouldn't he be excited about her coming back soon? Why is he asking her to stay back? 
His lips curled upwards in a smile as she said, " Just stay back. I will fill you with the details later." 
Xie Ming was confused but didn't say anything. She just nodded and said, "Okay, now I have to go. I am getting late for the script reading.". 
Liwei hummed and hung up the phone. 
After getting dressed up, Xie Ming went outside to see Yuan Lei coming out of her room lethargically. 
She was looking worn out and was very tired. She has dark circles under her eyes. 
Surprisingly, she was wearing a full-sleeved shirt with jeans and heels. She was looking entirely different from her yesterday's look. 
Xie Ming was surprised to see her dressed up like this. 
She bowed slightly in greeting, but Yuan Lei ignored her and went ahead. 
Xie Ming furrowed her brows when she ignored her and made annoying expressions while passing by her. 
But she was more shocked when she saw Yuan Lei walking weirdly. She was staggering and her legs were trembling while walking. 
She is very thin and her body was very weak. But today, she was looking very frail and lethargic. 
She could sense why she was staggering like this. 
She has spent the night outside with a ' friend' and has come looking like this. Her lips were swollen and had some marks as well. 
It seems someone has bitten her on her lips and it looks quite deep. Now, what can she think of her condition? 
Xie Ming didn't say anything to her and went downstairs. 
In the hotel lobby, she met with Xu Lan and Song Xiner. 
Xu Lan turned to her and said, " You're here? I was about to call you. Let's go, everyone has reached the restaurant. We need to have breakfast." Xu Lan grabbed her arm and led her to the restaurant in the hotel. 
Xie Ming didn't say anything and followed her there While Song Xiner also came along with them. 
When they reached the Chinese restaurant in the hotel, Xie Ming was impressed with his classic decor. 
It was not dull nor extremely shiny. It was just perfect. 
Upon reaching the restaurant, she saw others who had already arrived.
Wu Sheng looked at Xie Ming and greeted her, " You're on time. Let's eat something, now you came. I am really hungry." he rubbed his hands in anticipation. 
She smiled at him and nodded. 
Yuan Lei frowned seeing his expressions and said, " What are you doing? Mr. Han is about to come. How can we eat just because she came? " she sneered in a low voice. 
Wu Sheng looked at her with his gaze darkened. 
" Mr. Han arrived? Where is he?" Xie Ming ignored her other words and asked Xu Lan about Mr. Han's whereabouts. 
" He arrived in the morning. He has gone to the room to freshen up. He must be about to come." Xu Lan said calmly. 
Even though Yuan Lei was not wrong at this time and it would not be polite to eat food without him but her way of saying was very rude and unacceptable, that's why she didn't take her side. 
" Then we should start eating after Mr. Han's comes. It would be rude if we start now." Xie Ming smiled at Wu Sheng trying to give him some encouragement to stay there. 
Wu Sheng nodded when he heard Xie Ming's words. He ignored Yuan Lei's glare and treated her as she didn't exist.
