Chapter 171: The Net Worth of the Future Father-in-Law

Eating the spicy, numbing, fresh, and fragrant Sichuan food, the time passed until it was past ten o'clock.

Qin Tian saw it was getting a bit late, so he prepared to take Xia Nuannuan to her father's place.

"It's only ten o'clock, let's play two more!"

Wang Hao tried to persuade them to stay.

Although his jungling was quite bad and he had no rhythm at all, it was still quite cool to follow Qin Tian and kill everyone in team fights.

"No, it's really time to go. If we have time tomorrow, we'll play again!"

Qin Tian declined with a smile.

Wang Hao couldn't force them anymore, so he nodded and said, "Alright then, I'll drive you over."

"No, no, no need, Brother Wang. You just keep playing here; we'll take a taxi over, it's very convenient."

Qin Tian said hurriedly.

"Right, we can just take a taxi."

Xia Nuannuan immediately agreed.

"I have nothing to do anyway, it's just a few steps on the gas!"

"Brother Wang, really don't trouble yourself. Doing this makes us feel quite embarrassed."

"Then... alright, I won't see you off then. Be safe."

Wang Hao didn't insist anymore, smiling and giving a word of caution.

Qin Tian responded with a light laugh, patted his shoulder, and said, "You keep playing, you still need to practice your jungling!"

"Damn, I'm not a jungler to begin with."

Wang Hao rolled his eyes.

Qin Tian turned off the computer and stood up, grinned, and said, "Then practice more; you'll have plenty of opportunities to play jungle in the future."

"Ah?"

Wang Hao was stunned, then glanced at Xia Nuannuan, who had stood up with him, and immediately understood in his heart.

He curled his lip with disdain and said, "What the hell? I'll find a girl to duo-queue with soon too. I'm not going to be a lightbulb for you two anymore. Not only is there no gaming experience, but I also have to eat your dog food. What kind of situation is this!"

"Haha... then I wish you an early exit from being single."

Qin Tian laughed happily.

Xia Nuannuan was also full of smiles, a shy blush hanging on her pretty face.

"Hurry up and go, hurry up and go!"

Wang Hao waved his hand to drive them away with a sorrowful expression.

"We're leaving then!"

"Mm, after you visit Jiang University tomorrow, if you have time, call me anytime."

"No problem!"

"Goodbye, Brother Wang!"

Xia Nuannuan said goodbye with a beaming smile.

"Goodbye, goodbye!"

Wang Hao nodded with a smile.

After watching the two walk away hand in hand, Young Master Wang shook his head with a bitter smile and muttered to himself:

"This is really outrageous. I actually had a day where I was fed dog food by two young people. Should I really find a girlfriend?"

"No, no, no. I'm a single aristocrat. Women are fine, but a girlfriend is too much trouble."

"Besides, finding someone who is both pretty and has a good figure, and also plays this game, is a bit difficult. And I don't have Qin Tian's technique and patience. Teaching a girl to play this game from scratch is too torturous; this isn't a game like 'Audition'."

"Sigh, I'll play two more solo games, then find someone to go drink at a bar."

After leaving the internet cafe, Qin Tian held Xia Nuannuan's hand and walked to the side of the road, hailed a taxi, and headed to the address Xia Nuannuan had mentioned.

In the car, Xia Nuannuan told Qin Tian about her father's situation there.

For the past few days, Old Xia had spent a lot of time alone in Jiangcheng, busy with his career.

He hadn't bought a house there and was currently living in a rented one.

Of course, it wasn't that he couldn't afford it, but that it wasn't necessary.

After all, he was the only one living there, and his chain of restaurants was constantly expanding and opening new branches. Renting a house near wherever he opened a store was more convenient for him.

"How many restaurants has your dad opened?"

Qin Tian asked with curiosity.

"I'm not too sure!"

Xia Nuannuan shook her head and said, "When I was little, my dad was doing business in Shanghai, then he went to the Imperial Capital. It was only after I started high school that he came back to open a store in Jiangcheng. He said that after he opens enough stores in Jiangcheng and earns enough money, he'll go home to retire."

Qin Tian was lost in thought and couldn't help but ask, "Do you know the name of the restaurant?"

"Of course I do, it's called 'Xia Ji Seafood'."

Xia Nuannuan replied.

"Let me see!"

Qin Tian took out his phone and searched for the restaurant name.

Xia Nuannuan also leaned her head over, following along like a curious baby.

She had been to the restaurant her father opened a few times, but she had never really looked into it carefully.

Clearly, this restaurant was very well-known, and the first result of the search was an introduction.

Qin Tian clicked on it and was instantly dumbfounded.

Good heavens, he didn't know until he looked, and he was scared to death after looking.

The "Xia Ji Seafood" restaurant brand was established in 2000. It didn't start as a buffet, but as a traditional high-end seafood restaurant.

It opened its first store in Shanghai, then quickly occupied the high-end seafood restaurant market in Shanghai, followed by expansion to the Imperial Capital, Huacheng, Shencheng, and other major first-tier cities.

It was only in recent years, after the seafood catering market in major first-tier cities became saturated, that it began to lay out in provincial capital cities like Jiangcheng and Xingcheng.

According to Qin Tian's guess, the father-in-law was personally responsible for Jiangcheng, while other major cities were managed by his subordinates.

As of now, the chain of restaurants under this brand had already exceeded fifty stores.

The data on this website showed that last year, Xia Ji Seafood's revenue exceeded 700 million.

Among them, the father-in-law might not be the sole shareholder, but he was definitely the largest shareholder.

According to Qin Tian's rough judgment, the father-in-law's net worth was at least several billion, and reaching a net worth of ten billion was probably just a matter of time.

As for "earning enough money to go home and retire," that was probably just something to fool Xia Nuannuan.

"Nuan Nuan."

"Mm?"

"Your dad... is so rich!"

"Uh!"

Xia Nuannuan blinked her big, cute eyes.

After seeing this information on the webpage, it was also the first time she had a rough understanding of her family's wealth.

Qin Tian exited the webpage, scratched his head, and smiled bitterly, "If I had known, I wouldn't have looked. Now that I see your dad, I feel so much pressure."

Xia Nuannuan was amused by this and beamed.

"It's okay, fortunately, my skin is thick enough. Let's just pretend we haven't seen that just now and don't know."

Qin Tian proposed with a straight face.

"Mm-hmm!"

Xia Nuannuan nodded in spite of herself.

"I said before that you were a little rich girl; this isn't a little rich girl, it's a whole big gold mountain!"

Qin Tian sighed.

Xia Nuannuan smiled until her eyes curved, clenched her fist shyly, and punched him on the shoulder.

"It looks like neither of us needs to struggle; we can just lie flat for the rest of our lives."

"Hee hee... I have no opinion!"

"Nuan Nuan, please support me!"

Qin Tian blinked at her.

"Pfft!"

Xia Nuannuan burst into laughter.

While chatting, the taxi had already arrived at the address Xia Nuannuan had mentioned.

After Qin Tian paid the fare, the two got out of the car.

"Nuan Nuan!"

A familiar voice called out.

The two looked in the direction of the voice and saw Old Xia walking over from not far away with a gentle smile.

When his gaze fell on Qin Tian, the smile on Old Xia's face vanished instantly, turning into a serious and earnest expression. ===== CHAPTER 172 =====
