Chapter 79

Xu Hui, Gray Whale Restaurant,

Sitting on the sofa, Zhang Cheng watched the manager leave with a cold face.

And just then, Wang Hu, who walked up, said, "Brother Cheng, could Jiang Jiang Haokun have known about the problem all along?"

"Nonsense, if he didn't know about the problem, would he have sold it to me?"

Looking at Wang Hu beside him, Zhang Cheng pulled out a cigarette and then slowly lit it, saying, "Find someone to follow him; if he dares to run, find a way to send him abroad!"

"Understood, Brother Cheng!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's instructions, Wang Hu became serious.

Because this wasn't a matter of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but millions!

Tapping the table, Zhang Cheng started to think.

He didn't have much knowledge about the catering industry, which was a very troublesome thing.

After all, the waters in this industry are very deep; not just anyone can be "Uncle Pan"!

Not wanting to be a "Gazi," Zhang Cheng could only find a way to find a chef.

Turning it over in his mind, Zhang Cheng really couldn't think of any famous chefs he knew.

The only one he knew was that Lu Yuan, whom he had beaten up twice.

But to let Lu Yuan be the head chef, Zhang Cheng would have to be insane to do that!

"Since I can't do it, I'll call for help!"

Dialing an overseas number, Zhang Cheng intended to ask Lauren for help.

After all, the Gray Whale Restaurant's main focus was Western cuisine.

What is Western cuisine? The point of Western cuisine isn't whether it tastes good; the point is the class.

People who come to this restaurant, you have to let them know what "value for money" means.

Spending less than two thousand? Sorry, you can't get in here, and you have to book in advance.

And humans are curious creatures; what they can't get is often the best.

Find a few people to praise it on social media and various platforms, wouldn't that be like counting money until your hands go soft?

Thinking about his plan, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but want to praise himself; that wisdom was truly skyrocketing!

"Hey, Lauren, happy to receive my call?"

Holding his phone with a full smile, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but speak.

"Zhang, do you have any new products recently?"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Lauren also laughed.

Because Zhang Cheng's "Cohiba" cigars had simply made him earn a fortune!

As for someone saying they're fake? Sorry, what you smoked before wasn't "Cohiba" at all; that was the fake one!

Cohiba: No, who taught you to play like this!

Lauren: That Zhang who says he values integrity above all!

Zhang Cheng:...

"Of course I do, my friend, I now have a clothing factory with over five thousand people working for me, and our goods are endless!"

Speaking with a smile, Zhang Cheng changed the subject and said, "By the way, Lauren, I need a team of chefs! Can you help me get that done?"

"You want chefs? Isn't Far East cuisine delicious?"

Speaking in confusion, Lauren became puzzled.

Because he felt Western cuisine was the truly terrible one!

"No, no, no, you misunderstood, I bought a restaurant and need some 'famous chefs,' you understand?"

Speaking meaningfully, Zhang Cheng smiled.

"Oh, I understand, I'll find a way to help you get this done; as it happens, I have quite a few debtors on hand!"

Squinting his eyes with a laugh, Lauren and Zhang Cheng reached a cooperative agreement.

After getting the chefs sorted, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile.

No matter how delicious a Western steak is, can it bring the cow back to life?

Does that group of foreigners understand the eight major standards of color, aroma, taste, and shape?

People who come here to spend money and eat, what they care about isn't necessarily the money; it's the class, the environment, the service!

Thinking this through, Zhang Cheng was full of anticipation for the upcoming "swindling" phase—bah, gratitude, because these are his bread and butter!

However, just as Zhang Cheng was in full swing renovating the restaurant, Jiang Lai found Lu Yuan.

Because that backhand move last time had forced this young lady to stay in a single room for five days!

But looking at Lu Yuan before her, Jiang Lai said in disbelief, "Lu Yuan?"

"It's me! Jiang Lai?"

Turning his head, the bruised and swollen Lu Yuan looked at Jiang Lai and immediately became puzzled.

"No, how did you end up like this? Who hit you? You've become a pig's head!"

Looking at Lu Yuan in astonishment, Jiang Lai couldn't help but ask.

"Zhang Cheng, that little bastard, he slashed my melon... he hit me..."

Hearing Jiang Lai's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel aggrieved.

Because even abroad, he, Lu Yuan, was a thug who ran rampant.

As a result, after coming to Magic City, he had been beaten twice in a row, and both times by the same person!

You could say Zhang Cheng flipping him over head-on was one thing, but that bastard isn't human; he smashed his face with such a large folding chair...

It really lived up to that saying: cold icy rain—no, a cold folding chair—slapping wildly on the face!

Looking at Lu Yuan's appearance, Jiang Lai didn't know why, but she suddenly wanted to laugh.

Because she truly admired Zhang Cheng now; he could actually beat someone into such a state!

"He opened a restaurant, are you interested?"

Looking at Lu Yuan before her, Jiang Lai stated her plan.

Because she only found out after she got out that Jiang Jiang Haokun had actually sold the Gray Whale Restaurant.

And the person he sold it to was that Zhang Cheng!

Thinking about how she had shown goodwill several times only to be ruthlessly rejected by the other party, Jiang Lai couldn't help but want to get angry.

What is her status? Shouldn't Zhang Cheng be happy to be used as a pawn by her?

But the result? She was the one sent to a single room!

"Let's do it!"

Looking at Jiang Lai with a serious face, Lu Yuan became solemn.

Because in other aspects, Lu Yuan might admit he's not as good as Zhang Cheng, but in culinary arts, Lu Yuan dares to say that three Zhang Chengs wouldn't be enough to fight him!

However, when agreeing to Jiang Lai, Lu Yuan seemed to have forgotten one thing: his tongue had lost its sense of taste...

"Brother Cheng, the restaurant opposite us has been transferred, did you know? It seems they're also starting to set up a high-end restaurant!"

Just as Zhang Cheng was sitting in the Far East Trade office, Wang Hu walked in quickly.

"Isn't the one opposite a Chinese restaurant? Why do they suddenly want to compete with me? Have they been drinking too much non-dairy creamer?"

Looking at Wang Hu curiously, Zhang Cheng became puzzled.

"It's Jiang Lai, I saw her, and that airport kid Lu Yuan too!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Wang Hu explained hurriedly.

"Jiang Lai and Lu Yuan?"

Thinking of these two people, Zhang Cheng frowned and said, "No, what are these two big idiots trying to do? Fight me? Do they think there's strength in numbers?"

Just as Zhang Cheng was muttering, Wang Hu, who was beside him, said, "Brother Cheng, two cobblers can't possibly impersonate Zhuge Liang, right!"

"What do you take Zhuge Liang for? And two of them? With their pathetic looks, I estimate two hundred wouldn't be enough!"

Speaking impatiently, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but show disdain.

Zhuge Liang is such a god-like figure; even if someone named Zhuge Tun stood before him, Zhang Cheng would still believe this guy is definitely "great wisdom appearing as stupidity," and definitely not a fool.

One hundred chapters of the Far East General History, the Three Kingdoms takes up three, and Prime Minister Zhuge takes up one alone...

Unless Lu Yuan and Jiang Lai have someone surnamed Zhuge in their ancestry, Zhang Cheng really isn't afraid of these two "Crouching Dragon and Fledgling Phoenix"!

When he has a chance to go before the Eastern Han Dynasty, he must erect a monument by the Luo River.

Those who swear by the Luo River first, believe; those who swear by the Luo River later, exterminate their entire clan!

Sima Yi: So, I'm supposed to die?

Zhang Cheng: You wait for me to come over, we'll chat face to face!

Liu Yu: Don't bother coming, the Sima family is all gone!
