Chapter 1206

The two side rooms flanking the main body of the restaurant were actually the best, facing the enormous stream of people flowing in from the market.

However, if Lin Cheng's blacksmith shop was to connect through, then undoubtedly only the right-side rooms could be linked.

"Mm, decided. The ten rooms on the right, connected."

"Then I'll write up the contract like this."

Once the contract was written, Lin Cheng and Sister Zhang each confirmed it was correct, then successively pressed their fingerprints on it. The lease term was three years, and thirty thousand gold coins were paid on the spot as rent.

He had also considered that Flying Fox Restaurant was currently in some difficulty, which was why he changed one year to three, thinking to help Sister Zhang's family.

Regarding this, Sister Zhang was naturally also very grateful for Lin Cheng's help.

With these thirty thousand gold coins, she could completely revive the restaurant, on the premise of thoroughly dispelling that wealthy merchant's thoughts.

17　For the next few days, Lin Cheng and the others still had to temporarily stay at Flying Fox Restaurant. On one hand, Sister Zhang needed to find people to clear out the things in the side rooms and revive the restaurant business; Lin Cheng also needed to find people to renovate and break through the walls.

As for the lodging fees for the three of them, Sister Zhang waived them. Having just closed a big rental deal, she wasn't that petty.

Regarding the blacksmith shop's renovation, even with the system, the surface materials and engineering still had to be done. Especially when breaking through between the side rooms, additional load-bearing walls might need to be built; otherwise, just breaking through the middle wall would cause the rooms to collapse.

Nothing happened that night.

The next day, after breakfast, Lin Cheng set off for the Zaoshigong Society to get certified, while Flying Fox Restaurant also posted a new recruitment notice. The previous restaurant staff had either been threatened into leaving by that wealthy merchant or been tactfully dismissed by Sister Zhang.

Back then, staff had been forced to dismiss due to the restaurant's funding issues. Now that there was money and the restaurant could be revived, of course new staff had to be recruited.

Seeing Flying Fox Restaurant recruiting again, immediately some people came to inquire, including some former employees who all remembered Sister Zhang's kindness.

However, this also alarmed the thugs, rascals, and low-level ruffians that the wealthy merchant had stationed in front of Flying Fox Restaurant. They came swaggering up to cause trouble and drive people away.

Seeing the situation was wrong, Sister Zhang immediately had Feiyan go call General Ji Xia and Miss Qianhui.

After General Ji Xia and Miss Qianhui came out, they told those thugs and rascals to get lost immediately. Clearly they had not yet realized the severity of the situation.

These thugs and rascals not only did not immediately get lost, but stepped forward trying to harass Miss Qianhui and General Ji Xia.

How could the two women stand for that? They directly took action and gave those thugs and rascals a brutal beating.

Miss Qianhui's fifth-rank cultivation already crushed these thugs and rascals. General Ji Xia was even at peak sixth-rank cultivation, simply like a war god incarnate. Taking on a group of low-rank martial artists was like child's play.

Just like that, a ground full of thugs, rascals, and ruffians lay in front of Flying Fox Restaurant. The surrounding passersby cheered and applauded one after another. These thugs, rascals, and ruffians were the notorious local underworld force, usually bullying people quite often. Relying on their numbers, they thought they could do whatever they wanted. Now they deserved the lesson.

"Go back and tell your backer, that wealthy merchant—if you dare come to Flying Fox Restaurant to cause trouble again, be careful or we'll come find him personally!" General Ji Xia warned with a clenched fist. She looked down most on these societal scum who only knew how to bully the weak. If they dared come cause trouble again, she naturally wouldn't let them off.

"If you dare come again, this old lady will beat you every single time I see you." Miss Qianhui, usually influenced by General Ji Xia, had completely gone bad too, and now had even learned to talk tough and threaten people.

These thugs, rascals, and ruffians, who usually only knew how to bully honest folk, where had they ever seen such fierce tigresses? Supporting each other, they immediately went back to give an exaggerated report to their boss.

Gang headquarters.

"Boss, those two tigresses are now guarding Flying Fox Restaurant, we're simply no match." A fourth-rank martial artist, covering his cheek, said trembling and lisping through missing teeth—most of his fine teeth were now gone.

"What cultivation are they?" the gang boss asked with a frown. Originally, the Flying Fox Restaurant deal was basically a sure profit with no loss. Now half the brothers were injured; if they all had to go see physicians, the accounts would surely suffer a loss!

"At least sixth-rank cultivation. I didn't even see the opponent's movement before I was sent flying. They're too strong. Feels even more powerful than you, Boss."

Even now, that fourth-rank martial artist couldn't help trembling all over at the memory.

"Nonsense! Your boss, me, am the most powerful!" Although the gang boss was very angry, his underling's words also indirectly proved the severity of the situation.

The lowest is sixth-rank cultivation, meaning the opponent might even be a seventh-rank powerhouse?

He himself was only at late sixth-rank cultivation. If he were to go personally, even given ten times the courage, he absolutely wouldn't dare!

But with Fatty Wang over there, this matter isn't easy to handle either.

What to do?

Got it!

Just drag it out like this!

Send a few underlings the opponent doesn't recognize to watch Flying Fox Restaurant, but don't get close or obstruct the restaurant from reopening for business.

On one hand, keep earning Fatty Wang's money; on the other hand, let Fatty Wang's side handle this matter themselves.

Hehe, simply killing two birds with one stone!

He really was incomparably clever!

The gang boss couldn't help but admire his own wit, happily rubbing his shiny bald head. Suddenly, he didn't seem quite so happy anymore.

However, he still gave the order again, telling two underlings to watch Flying Fox Restaurant from afar and do nothing, to avoid those two tigresses coming out to beat people.
