Chapter 995: Little Jiangxi

Fei Xiang's appearance indeed made Sanyang's name spread throughout Shanghai in a short period of time, booming and extraordinary.

Lingzi, Ling Hong, Tao Tao, and others were selling pirated clothes here, and Wang Yan helped out until after lunch, then left the buzzing Night Tokyo; he wouldn't join in this excitement.

It was meaningless anyway, and it was already past the lunch break, and there were two more hours until dinner time. Wang Yan, having nowhere to go, drove to Huanghe Road again.

As soon as he arrived at Huanghe Road, he saw a group of young men and women, interviewing for greeters, waiters, etc., at various restaurants, including a group of people surrounding Jingxiu, asking this Huanghe Road 'all-knowing' about the situation. Jingxiu was also happy to be surrounded by a group of girls, laughing from ear to ear.

Wang Yan was also sensible; this time he didn't park the car next to Jingxiu's telephone booth, but parked it at the entrance of Zhi Zhen Yuan.

As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Li Li at the entrance of Zhi Zhen Yuan, wearing a fur shawl, a tight-fitting skirt, and accessories, looking very jewel-encrusted and luxurious.

And opposite Li Li, a younger woman wearing a waiter's uniform and short hair was saying something to Li Li, who had no expression.

On the other side, at the entrance of Jin Meilin, Lu Meilin was holding a handful of melon seeds, also with no expression, wanting to see if Li Li would take this person who left her shop.

It was just that after seeing Wang Yan get out of the car, she met Wang Yan's gaze, and she shouted in a loud voice: "Wang Laoban is here, have time to come to our Jin Meilin to eat."

After receiving Wang Yan's friendly wave response, Lu Meilin turned and went back into the shop...

But Lu Meilin's voice attracted the attention of Li Li and others. Watching Wang Yan walk over, Li Li laughed: "Wang Laoban is here to eat so early?"

"Nothing interesting, just come over to sit."

Wang Yan's thoughts were never hidden. Li Li naturally knew what Wang Yan came here for. Following the wind brought by Wang Yan's few steps, Li Li sniffed and frowned: "Why is there a smell of oil smoke on Wang Laoban?"

"Swung the big spoon for a whole noon at Night Tokyo." Wang Yan shook his head, amused, and regardless of the strangeness in Li Li's eyes, looked at the short-haired girl who was staring at him straight: "What's going on?"

"A waiter from across the street, not doing it anymore and wants to come here. Heard she took the boss's gold jewelry and didn't want to return it, so she ran here to try her luck."

"I didn't take it; Boss Jin gave it to me voluntarily. Lu Meilin can't manage her own man, so she wants to make things difficult for me."

"What's your name?"

"Wang Laoban, my name is Wang Qian, from Jiangxi, everyone calls me Little Jiangxi." Little Jiangxi had an expression of catching hope.

"Know me?"

"I've been at Jin Meilin for more than two years. Wang Laoban has been to Jin Meilin twice to eat. The first time I hadn't come yet, the second time I was resting, so Wang Laoban never went to Jin Meilin again, so I haven't seen you. But when Wang Laoban came to Huanghe Road, others told me, so I know."

Wang Yan nodded; having come more than two years ago, and only discovering it now, was irrelevant to the big picture for Wang Yan.

He asked with a smile: "Want to get rich?"

"Yes!" Little Jiangxi nodded without hesitation.

"What can you do?"

"I'm the best at selling wine at Jin Meilin; no one sells better than me. I have a junior high school education; my family couldn't afford to support me, so I came out to work. I might not know many things, but Wang Laoban, as long as you are willing to give me a chance, I can learn anything."

Wang Yan said noncommittally: "Come in, eat a meal together."

Pulled by Zhi Zhen Yuan's lead waiter Minmin, Little Jiangxi returned to her senses and said repeatedly: "Thank you, Wang Laoban, thank you, Wang Laoban."

"Wang Laoban is still sitting at a public table?" Manager Pan asked from the side.

Wang Yan nodded. Just as he was about to leave, Li Li spoke: "Minmin, you take her over first; I'll chat with Wang Laoban."

"Alright, proprietress."

Minmin responded and took Little Jiangxi inside.

Seeing Little Jiangxi looking around at the decorations in the shop, Li Li smiled and said to Wang Yan, who had stopped: "Wang Laoban, did you take a fancy to this waiter?"

"Which kind of fancy are you talking about?"

There was a hint of coquettishness in Li Li's eyes that knew how to talk. She said: "Then which kind of fancy is Wang Laoban talking about? I think this Little Jiangxi looks pretty good, quite exquisite. But I have to remind you, Wang Laoban, she just told me she has a boyfriend, who is a chef at the Big Tycoon."

"Look, what you're concerned about is still this kind. As for her having a boyfriend... you say if I ask her if she has a boyfriend, will she tell me she has one, or not?"

"Wang Laoban isn't such a vulgar person, right?"

"She is an ambitious person."

"Many people have ambition, but often don't have the opportunity."

"I can give her this opportunity; whether she succeeds or not is up to her." Wang Yan laughed. "After that, it's the vulgarity you mentioned. Some women need to talk, need care, love, and protection. Others are different; they only need to be given what they want."

"What if they want too much?"

"Such greedy people often get nothing in the end." Wang Yan smiled, reached out, patted Li Li's arm, and said to her, "You are different; you need to be cherished."

"Little Jiangxi should be anxious; afraid I'll say something bad about her, Wang Laoban should go over quickly." Li Li stepped back and made a gesture of invitation.

She didn't know what Wang Yan was thinking, nor did she know whether Wang Yan had taken a fancy to her or not. Otherwise, even if he admitted to having other women, it wouldn't be good to find other women so brightly in front of her; this was somewhat inappropriate.

She didn't doubt at all Wang Yan's thoughts on Little Jiangxi, because based on her brief observation of Little Jiangxi, even if Wang Yan had no thoughts, Little Jiangxi herself would strip naked and crawl into Wang Yan's bed, because she had nothing else to give.

But it was in such a situation that Wang Yan could still calmly tell her that she was different and needed to be cherished. This was truly...

Wang Yan didn't make things difficult for Li Li, smiled at her, turned around, went to the public table, and sat opposite Little Jiangxi, who had been looking over here.

"Wang Laoban, drink some tea." Little Jiangxi poured tea diligently.

Wang Yan turned the teacup and looked at Little Jiangxi like this, until she looked unnatural, her eyes flickered, and she didn't know what expression to show, looking embarrassed, and then he spoke faintly.

"What do you want to do most? Don't tell lies; say what you think, say it boldly, say you want to go to heaven, it's all fine."

Little Jiangxi was silent for a while and said: "I want to have a restaurant of my own; I want to be the proprietress."

"Bigger."

"Then open a big hotel, like the Peace Hotel, International Hotel, etc., where you can stay and eat. Wang Laoban, I'm not like you big figures who travel north and south; I don't have much knowledge, only a junior high school education, and no knowledge of those college students. I came out from my hometown and have always worked in restaurants; I know a bit about the ways of restaurants. You asked me to say it boldly, but except for big restaurants, I can't think of other things."

Wang Yan asked: "If you are asked to open a restaurant, or a big hotel, what would you do?"

"I think I should first understand the situation, find a suitable house in a good location..."

Little Jiangxi talked on and on, and more than a dozen dishes were served. With Wang Yan's consent, Little Jiangxi ate a bit while talking, talking while eating.

She was very excited at first; after all, Wang Yan asked her how to open a restaurant, and she would naturally think that Wang Yan wanted to open a restaurant for her. But as she said so much, Wang Yan didn't show anything, so she didn't have the eloquence and endless talk from the beginning, but became nervous inside, not knowing whether she should continue. As a result, her voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end, she had no words at all, eating the dishes silently.

"Nothing left?" Wang Yan asked.

"Ah? Ah..." Little Jiangxi was speechless.

Wang Yan took out the car key from his pocket, reached out and put it in front of her: "There is a bag in the passenger seat; go get it."

"Alright, Wang Laoban." Little Jiangxi responded quickly this time, picked up the key quickly, got up, and walked away quickly. The pressure in front of Wang Laoban was too great, and she wanted to catch her breath quickly.

It wasn't busy yet, and Li Li hadn't gone upstairs to rest, so she stood with her arms crossed, paying attention to Little Jiangxi's expression; she only felt Little Jiangxi's nervousness, tension, and panic...

Little Jiangxi came outside, opened the car door, took out the heavy handbag, locked the car door again, and stood there taking deep breaths for dozens of seconds. After stabilizing her spirit, she walked in quickly again. Passing by Li Li, she lowered her head and didn't have any expression.

"Brought it back, Wang Laoban."

Wang Yan put down his bowl and chopsticks, took the handbag, took out two stacks of money from it, and put them on the table: "You take these 20,000. 10,000 to buy a big brother phone, and move to a better place to live. The remaining 10,000 counts as your activity expenses. Within a month, find a place suitable for opening a hotel, and implement your ideas on how to open a hotel on paper."

After speaking, he took out a pen from the bag, wrote a note, and put it on the money along with two business cards: "This business card is my lawyer; if you don't understand anything, you can call him. This one is my assistant's business card. After making the plan and finding the address, call him. This note is my phone number; if you can't make up your mind, come find me. Understand?"

"Understood. Thank you, Wang Laoban; I definitely won't let you down, definitely won't let you lose money."

Wang Yan signaled: "Eat."

"Thank you, Wang Laoban, I won't eat anymore; I'll go back to pack my things and move, and find a place to open a hotel tomorrow." After speaking, Little Jiangxi picked up the money on the table with slightly trembling hands, put away the two business cards and the note, bowed to Wang Yan, turned to find Minmin to ask for a black bag to hold the money, went out, took a taxi, and disappeared...

At this time, Li Li walked over, let the waiter remove Little Jiangxi's tableware, and took a new set of tableware. She asked: "Wang Laoban is truly generous; meeting once, it's 20,000 casually."

"You don't want me to pay for the meal, right?"

Looking at Wang Yan's suspicious appearance, Li Li shook her head, amused: "Didn't expect Wang Laoban to be quite humorous. Don't worry, coming to Zhi Zhen Yuan at any time is my treat."

She continued to ask: "I am very curious about how you talked to her."

"She said the thing she wanted to do most was to have a restaurant, and she would be the proprietress. I asked her to think bigger, and she said she wanted to open a hotel. 20,000 yuan, 10,000 to buy a big brother phone, 10,000 to find a suitable place, and also write a plan."

"Do you think she can do it?"

"No one can do it from the start; there must be a process of adaptation and progress."

"Are you very optimistic about hotels?"

"Whether I am optimistic about hotels is not important; being optimistic about houses is true. I have said to Boss Bao and the others before that real estate will definitely appreciate in the future. With the promotion of urbanization, urban land prices will inevitably increase. And in cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, housing prices will rise to the sky. To open a hotel, you have to buy a big building, or even build a big building yourself. I believe that as time goes by, whether the hotel is opened well or not is not important.

However, it should be said that hotels also have great potential. With the development of opening up over the years, the scale of hotels has developed from hundreds of families before to thousands of families now, not lacking internationally renowned chain hotels. Especially the service quality of hotels is also getting higher and higher, with more and more tricks. And now the economy is developing quite well, and there are many people traveling, so the future growth will definitely be higher.

Especially now, it is an era of rapid development, which can be called changing with each passing day. In such a situation, doing hotel service, as long as it is not too bad, even if it loses money, it won't lose too much."

Wang Yan patiently answered Li Li, making her clear and understood.

Li Li nodded, deeply understanding Wang Yan's central idea. That is, buy a few more buildings by the way, let Little Jiangxi toss, and see what flowers she can toss out.

"Are you assured to hand over the hotel to that Little Jiangxi?"

"Didn't I say, even if it loses money, it won't lose too much. Give her a chance to see if she can do it well. Overall, there is no loss."

Looking at the light-hearted Wang Laoban, Li Li suddenly discovered that this is Wang Zong's proper high-level interest, not vulgar at all. Because if it was just for the sake of that little thing on the bed, those 20,000 yuan from Wang Laoban would be enough, and Little Jiangxi would definitely strip willingly. But Wang Laoban didn't do that, but supported Little Jiangxi to open a hotel.

What made her panic was that when she tried to bring herself into Little Jiangxi's perspective to look at Wang Yan, she discovered that she really wanted to love this damn man to death...

She ate two mouthfuls of dishes silently and changed the subject: "Today Fan Zong and Boss Bao cooperated for Sanyang's listing and big sales, and also invited Fei Xiang to perform at the Hulian Commercial Building. Wang Laoban knows, right?"

"Otherwise, why do you think I was a chef at Night Tokyo?"

Wang Yan explained to Li Li, who was a bit surprised: "It was Lingzi from Night Tokyo who sent the chef out to inquire about the news, saying that Boss Bao had put a batch of Sanyang goods there before, and she wanted to see if the market was good, and take out that batch of goods to sell. Then she remembered I could cook, so she called me. It seemed like she couldn't live on the phone, and as soon as I went over, she arranged for me to be a chef."

"Wang Laoban can also cook?"

Li Li's meaning was naturally not simply dealing with eating, but professional chef skills. Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "A bit inferior to the master here, but it's still passable. But I rarely do it, that is, during the Chinese New Year every year, I huddle together with that group of people at Night Tokyo, and the chef takes a vacation and I take the post."

"I thought Wang Laoban only grilled lamb skewers well, didn't expect the cooking level to be so high. If there is a chance, I can..." Looking at Wang Yan's smiling eyes, Li Li stopped this sentence. Because the opportunity wasn't given by Wang Yan, but by herself.

She said stiffly back to the Sanyang matter: "Actually, I should know something about the clothes Boss Bao sent to Night Tokyo."

"Let's hear it."

"If I didn't guess wrong, that batch of goods placed at Night Tokyo should be high-imitation Sanyang clothes..."

Li Li's words were naturally not unexpected, talking about the last time A-Bao came to eat, and when he left, she gave a high-imitation piece of clothing to A-Bao as a gift, which was also why the listing sales date was advanced so much, etc.

"How did the high-imitation clothes get into your hands?"

"Fan Zong leaked the wind, where are there any secrets. Fan Zong and Boss Bao talked for a few days, and someone took high-imitation clothes to find me, hoping I would help them introduce people to sell and stock. I think Boss Bao is more necessary to help, so I just gave the clothes to Boss Bao as a gift."

"Not afraid of trouble?"

"If I were afraid of trouble, I wouldn't have come to Huanghe Road."

"The foundation is very sufficient." Wang Yan laughed. "Will that group of people in Shenzhen help you?"

"There is still some face." Li Li's voice said faintly.

At this time, Manager Pan walked over, first greeted Wang Yan, and then spoke: "Proprietress, Fan Zong just called, saying he wants to come to our Zhi Zhen Yuan tonight to hold a Sanyang celebration party, and wants four private rooms."

"Then what is there to hesitate about? Zhi Zhen Yuan welcomes you at any time..."

At this time, the big brother phone Wang Yan put on the table rang.

Li Li turned her head back, brightly smiling: "I guess it's Fan Zong."

Wang Yan nodded with a smile and answered the phone: "Hello, Wang Yan."

"Oh, Old Fan, I'm eating at Zhi Zhen Yuan, Li Li is opposite me, just heard that you, Old Fan, want to book Zhi Zhen Yuan to hold a Sanyang celebration party, the iron rooster finally willing to pull out hair, ah."

"Alright, anyway, I'm an idle person, so I won't leave, wait for you to come over and drink two cups together. What? You said to return with a beauty? Don't worry, the beauty can't run. Hanging up, it's quite power-consuming."

After speaking, Wang Yan shook the big brother phone at Li Li, meaning look at what Fan Zong said.

Li Li shook her head and smiled, not caring at all: "You're right, Fan Zong is indeed an iron rooster pulling out hair, four private rooms, at least 10,000 yuan. It seems that money is indeed a man's courage; Sanyang earned money, and Fan Zong was immediately generous."

"Are you pointing at me?"

"Of course not. I know that you have always been very generous. Jingxiu said that when you first came to Shanghai, you only had a thousand or eight hundred yuan, and at that time, smoking was Zhonghua, and drinking was Moutai. If it were an ordinary person, they would wish to spend one cent into two, unlike you, only living today, not thinking about tomorrow."

Wang Yan laughed and nodded: "I feel there are many opportunities here, and I will always get rich."

"Capable people will not be bad wherever they go."

"Era factors are the main ones. Ability can only determine the lower limit, but cannot determine the upper limit."

"Makes sense."

Li Li nodded, stood up and said, "You eat slowly, I'll go get busy."

Wang Yan ate very quickly, sat there drinking tea after the meal, and Li Li didn't come to chat with him again.

The lights were on, Huanghe Road became lively, people who had been busy all day, stepping on the waves of the era, came to Huanghe Road to be dashing, comforting themselves who had worked hard all day, and also looking for opportunities for tomorrow.

Miss Wang, who got off work, also came over. Sanyang celebration party, she couldn't not come. Just looking at the familiar car parked at the entrance of Zhi Zhen Yuan, she hesitated...

"Why, afraid to see me?"

The familiar voice sounded in her ear, but it scared Miss Wang into a shiver. She turned around, and without a word, greeted him with a punch: "People scaring people, scaring people to death. Who is afraid to see you?"

"You've been standing here for five minutes."

"Can't I wait for someone?"

"Wait for whom?"

"Boss Bao, Fan Zong haven't come yet, I'll wait for them to arrive and go in together, what's wrong?"

Wang Yan reached out and pointed at the tip of her nose: "Just stubborn."

Although she had already been kissed on the mouth, at this moment on the street of Huanghe Road, being so intimate with Wang Yan, Miss Wang still couldn't handle it, and in an instant, her face turned red.

"Talk if you want to talk, don't move your hands and feet, be careful I call the police and arrest you."

After speaking, she didn't look at Wang Yan, turned her head and walked toward Zhi Zhen Yuan.

"Miss Wang is here, welcome." Li Li greeted guests coming and going with a smile at the door.

"Hmph!" Miss Wang sent a look of disdain, ignored Li Li, and walked straight ahead.

Li Li smiled indifferently, but cast a look of watching the excitement at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan shrugged, followed behind Miss Wang to the private room upstairs.

As soon as Miss Wang entered the private room, she walked around the big circle, sat on the opposite side of the big round table, crossed her arms, and didn't look at Wang Yan.

Lighting a cigarette, Wang Yan sat opposite, made a sound of 'yi': "Why didn't you wear the pearl earrings Boss Bao gave you today?"

"I forgot, not allowed?"

Wang Yan understood that it was highly likely that after kissing, Miss Wang took the initiative to hand over the pearl earrings. In the case of having no feelings for A-Bao, Mei Ping's persuasion was useless.

He said: "It's quite good-looking, not handing it over?"

"If it's good-looking, of course I have to keep it for myself to wear."

Wang Yan didn't ask, then Miss Wang would probably have handed them over. But he asked, and Miss Wang was determined to compete with him, so she had to keep them. However, as said before, a pair of earrings wasn't the main problem, so it didn't matter.

Seeing Wang Yan just smile and not speak.

Miss Wang asked: "Where did you hear it?"

"Jingxiu told me. I asked him if Miss Wang had been to Huanghe Road recently, and Jingxiu said 'Coincidentally, Miss Wang also asked me the same question. She was also wearing a pair of pearl earrings, saying Boss Bao gave them to her.'"

Clearly, Miss Wang wouldn't pay attention to any pearl earrings at this time, but asked unhappily: "Why are you asking about me?"

"Then why are you asking about me?"

"None of your business?"

"None of your business?"

"Oh my, annoying to death." Miss Wang couldn't stand the lightness and ambiguity in Wang Yan's words and patted him unhappily.

Perhaps women all have the bad habit of moving their hands, but this is also a good phenomenon. Because this represents eliminating the safe distance of strangers and pulling closer the relationship between each other. ===== CHAPTER 996 =====

The protagonist of the evening was Fan Zong. With Sanyang listed and selling explosively, looking to make over ten million, the high-spirited Fan Zong poured drinks for himself without anyone needing to urge him, and he was soon drunk...
