Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Just back in Shangou Village, Wang Zhanggen was impatient, saying he wanted to find Zhang Zhongtian to discuss the restaurant transfer.

Li Xiulan said to let him eat lunch first before going, but he couldn't wait.

"Eat eat eat, all you know is eat! This concerns whether Erhai can have a child, must go settle it right now!"

Wang Zhanggen acted with extreme urgency.

Making Wang Erhai a bit at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Dad, how about I go find Zhang Zhongtian myself, you stay home and rest."

Wang Erhai said this.

Wang Zhanggen, however, looked uneasy, saying:

"Can you handle it going alone? Zhang Zhongtian is very shrewd, afraid you'll be taken in by his smooth talk! Your father here is different, I know him inside out, he can't fool me!"

Wang Erhai could only say:

"Alright, then we'll go together."

Soon, father and son arrived at the gate of Zhang Zhongtian's villa.

"Erhai, later you don't need to say anything, I'll handle communicating with Zhang Zhongtian for you."

Wang Zhanggen appeared full of confidence.

Walking into the villa courtyard.

Only to see Yao Aina accompanying her grandson Zhang Jiajun playing.

"Auntie Aina, is Uncle Zhongtian in?" Wang Zhanggen greeted Yao Aina with a smile.

Yao Aina said:

"He's in the living room."

Wang Zhanggen then said:

"Then we'll go in and find him."

The two entered the living room, only to see Zhang Zhongtian looking worried and haggard.

Now he had lost weight to the point of being almost unrecognizable.

Wang Zhanggen saw this, couldn't help but be surprised.

Completely unexpected, in just a few days not seeing him, Zhang Zhongtian had become like this.

"Uncle Zhongtian." Wang Zhanggen greeted.

"Granduncle Zhongtian." Wang Erhai also greeted.

Zhang Zhongtian looked up, squeezing out a tired smile:

"Changgen, Erhai, you're here, sit quick, I'll go brew tea for you!"

Zhang Zhongtian stood up from the sofa with difficulty, hunched over, going to brew tea.

"No need no need, we just came to discuss a matter with you, we'll leave once done!" Wang Zhanggen politely declined Zhang Zhongtian's tea offer.

Zhang Zhongtian still went and brought the teapot over, brewing tea for Wang Zhanggen and Wang Erhai while asking:

"What matter to discuss with me?"

Wang Zhanggen asked:

"Heard you want to transfer the New Era Restaurant in town?"

Zhang Zhongtian nodded:

"Yeah, just a pity never found a suitable taker."

Wang Erhai heard this, immediately caught a hint of something.

No suitable taker found, doesn't that mean it's hard to transfer?

Looks like that New Era Restaurant in town probably isn't a hot commodity anymore.

Wang Zhanggen, however, didn't hear the implication, instead breathed a huge sigh of relief:

"Good that it hasn't been transferred yet, just afraid you'd already transferred it!"

Wang Zhanggen's face full of relief, then said:

"How about you transfer the restaurant to us, on the transfer fee we won't let you lose out, give you 250,000, how about it?"

"Dad..." Wang Erhai hurriedly spoke, wanting to stop Wang Zhanggen from revealing the price so fast, the price could actually be negotiated slowly.

However, Wang Zhanggen coldly said:

"Adults speaking, children don't interrupt!"

Zhang Zhongtian heard Wang Zhanggen proactively offer 250,000, immediately showed surprise, thought he misheard:

"What did you say? How much was the transfer price?"

Can't blame his reaction, you see, before he discussed this with Lao Liu, Lao Liu was only willing to offer 50,000 transfer price.

He also knew, the current New Era Restaurant had already declined, no longer its former glory, so he never even thought of asking over 200,000 transfer fee, just over 100,000 and he'd sell without hesitation.

Never expected Wang Zhanggen would proactively offer 250,000 transfer fee!

How could this not surprise him, how could this not be unexpected?

"I said transfer fee 250,000!" Wang Zhanggen saw Zhang Zhongtian's reaction, thought Zhang Zhongtian thought it too little, so hurriedly added: "Uncle Zhongtian, for the sake of us being from the same village, don't you raise the price, 250,000 is the highest we can pay, if you think it's too little, then we'll just turn around and leave!"

Wang Zhanggen looked very determined.

When he went to the street to buy clothes, it was like this: he would haggle with the clothing shop boss, and if the boss disagreed, he would turn his head and leave; at that moment the boss would hurriedly wave him back, "Come back, come back, I'll sell it to you at a loss."

This move of his never failed.

So now it was used on Zhang Zhongtian.

Zhang Zhongtian was secretly delighted, but still did his utmost to hide it, did his utmost to restrain himself, so as not to let himself burst out laughing involuntarily.

He wore a troubled expression, sighed:

"Is that so? Then alright, then for the sake of being from the same village, I'll reluctantly transfer the restaurant to you. If someone else came to find me, I'd have to ask at least 300,000, but you're different, especially since Erhai became a Temporary Village Cadre; after I leave, Zhiqiang will still need Erhai you to help look after him. He broke a leg and ruined a hand; this life of his counts as ruined."

Wang Erhai said:

"Uncle Grandpa Zhang, rest assured. Whatever I can help with, I'll definitely do my best. By the way, has Uncle Zhiqiang returned?"

Zhang Zhongtian said:

"He was just discharged from the hospital yesterday and returned. Now he's lying upstairs on the second floor, still can't get out of bed. In the future he'll still have to go for rehabilitation treatment every so often."

Wang Zhanggen spoke up at this time:

"Then it's settled. 250,000 transfer fee, transfer New Era Restaurant to us!"

Zhang Zhongtian nodded:

"Good, no problem! When will you give the money? I'm in urgent need of money recently. You also know, Zhiqiang's rehabilitation needs money, and my lung cancer treatment also needs money."

Wang Zhanggen said:

"Rest assured, in a few days I'll get the money into your hands!"

Thus this matter was settled just like that.

Wang Zhanggen bid farewell to Zhang Zhongtian, bringing Wang Erhai along on the road home.

He wore a smug, self-satisfied look:

"Your dad handled this matter pretty cleanly, right? I knew Zhang Zhongtian urgently needed money, so I directly pressed the price to 250,000 and could easily close the deal. This is simply picking up a huge bargain!"

Wang Erhai, however, couldn't help muttering to himself:

"Dad, not that I'm saying anything, but we should've gone to check New Era Restaurant's business situation first, then come negotiate the transfer fee with Zhang Zhongtian. If business is too bad, maybe we wouldn't even need a 250,000 transfer fee..."

"What nonsense are you spouting? You, a person who ran a company into bankruptcy, what do you understand? I've been to New Era Restaurant many times. It's right next to the Town Government. With that location, how could business be bad? If we don't take it over quickly, maybe tomorrow it'll be snatched away by someone else! If that shop gets snatched away, you, brat, can kiss your lineage goodbye!"

Wang Zhanggen wore a dead-serious expression.

He said so much, but actually only the last sentence was the key point.

It was also the thing he cared about most, was most concerned with.

As long as it could let this Second Son of his avoid dying without heirs, this 250,000 was absolutely worth it!

Never mind 250,000, even 2.5 million he'd be willing to spend!

For this Second Son of his, one could say he had worn his heart out worrying.
