626 You’re an Old Hooligan Yourself
“You, you’re the owner of this shop?” Han Fei asked in disbelief.
“Can’t that be the case?”
Lin Yi didn’t have any hostility towards the two of them. He had almost forgotten what happened in the morning.
“Everything on the menu is available. Order whatever you want.”
They looked at the menu. The food wasn’t cheap, but they could both afford it.
“Two servings of egg fried rice, one serving of pork ribs corn soup, and one serving of pickled radish.”
Seeing Lin Yi return to the kitchen, Han Fei whispered into Xu Wan’s ear.
“Lil’ Wan, what’s going on? He’s a chef in a restaurant, but he also wants to rent a unit in the incubation center? It’s a totally different field, right?”
Xu Wan thought about it and asked, “Is he going to open a canteen there?”
“Eh? That is possible.” Han Fei said.
“Usually, a building would have a cafeteria. Coincidentally, he’s also a chef. This syncs up.”
“If that’s the case, we might not stand a chance,” Xu Wan said.
“The space for the canteen usually takes up an entire floor. They aren’t cheap either.”
Han Fei nodded and agreed with Xu Wan.
“That woman with sunglasses and a mask is really rich. She spent a lot of money on him.”
“It can’t be helped. He’s so good-looking.”
“You can’t say that.” Han Fei said, “You’re also really pretty, yet don’t you rely on your own ability to succeed?”
“Everyone has their own ambitions. There’s no need to judge others,” Xu Wan said softly.
“He can be considered to be self-reliant by opening a restaurant here. Isn’t he also relying on his ability to make a living?”
“Although he’s self-reliant, he definitely doesn’t earn as much as a rich woman.” Han Fei said.
“Otherwise, with his income, even if he works hard for the rest of his life, he won’t be able to cover the rent for an entire floor of the incubation center.”
“Keep your voice down. Don’t let anyone hear you.”
Not long after, Lin Yi brought the food they ordered.
“Boss, you also went to the incubation center today, right? Did you take a fancy to that place?” Han Fei asked.
“We’ve also taken a fancy to the top floor, so we want to ask if there’s any room for negotiation.”
From Han Fei’s point of view, if he wanted to open a canteen in the building, he could only do so from the top floor.
It would be good if he was open to negotiation, since there would be no need for Zhou Ze to contact him.
“No, try the other floors,” Lin Yi said without looking up.
“Alright, then we can only compete fairly.”
Han Fei felt that even though the rich woman beside him was rich, Zhou Ze’s family was not bad either.
If he used his connections early enough, it would not be a problem for him to get the top floor.
Tsk, isn’t he just protected by a rich woman? What’s there to be arrogant about?
Lin Yi glanced at Han Fei and felt that this woman was quite interesting.
She even wanted to compete with him?
‘The entire incubation center belongs to me. How can you fight me for it?
Due to issue surrounding the rental of the top floor, neither of the girls were in the mood to eat.
As a result, the two of them ate very quickly. After paying, they left in a hurry.
“This man is too good at pretending. Isn’t he just a little good-looking? Why is does he act like that? He doesn’t even look up or open his eyes when he speaks. It’s as if he doesn’t take us seriously.”
“We’re just a small start-up company, not some big conglomerate. Why should he take us seriously?”
“Aren’t we just starting out? It’s normal for the company to be small.” Han Fei said.
“But we built this from scratch and didn’t do anything crooked. He has a rich woman behind him, so I look down on him. What a waste of his face.”
“Do you have to be so indignant?” Xu Wan said.
“The celebrities you’re pursuing also have rich women supporting them. Aren’t you also one of their high-profile supporters?”
“That’s different. Someone was deliberately slandering that celebrity. On the other hand, we saw what is going on between him and that woman. Moreover, this guy wants to book the entire floor. The issue is clear to see.”
“I’ve already said that everyone has their own ambitions. Let’s not get too involved and just focus on own thing. Besides, the egg fried rice he makes is quite delicious. I haven’t gotten my fill of it.”
For a long time, Xu Wan did not have a good impression of these people who relied on their looks to make a living.
However, she also knew that this was someone else’s business. She could not interfere, nor did she have the right to comment too much.
“In truth, I don’t care if he has a rich woman or not, but his arrogant face is really infuriating. It’s as if the entire building belongs to him,” Han Fei said.
“I’ll call Zhou Ze later and ask him if he can rent the unit on the top floor. I’ll then slap his face with the rental contract. Hmph!”
Not long after the two of them left, the store’s business also picked up again.
However, not long after, the store’s door was angrily pushed open.
A middle-aged man walked in with two students.
“Director Li, the boss is the only one in this restaurant. He’s probably cooking inside,” said a long-haired girl.
“Let’s go. Follow me to find him.”
The middle-aged man’s name was Li Zhiwei, and he was the director of the academic affairs department of Zhonghai Institute of Technology.
After learning that two international students from the school had been beaten up, he brought his students over.
“Mr. Li, the boss has a bad temper. Will he listen to you?” The female student asked.
“I am still someone to be respected.” Li Zhiwei said, “Just bring me over.”
“Got it, Teacher Li.”
Li Zhiwei was brought to the kitchen and saw Lin Yi cooking.
However, he only saw his back and didn’t recognize Lin Yi.
“Excuse me. You’re the owner of this shop, right?”
Hearing someone speak, Lin Yi turned around.
To his surprise, it was Li Zhiwei, the administrative director of the school.
“Lin Yi? Why are you here?”
“I’m the boss of this place, so of course I have to be here,” Lin Yi said, “Teacher Li, are you very free today? Are you here to support me?”
Lin Yi and Li Zhiwei were old acquaintances.
When Lin Yi was in school, he was often involved in many “big cases” at Zhonghai Technology. Due to this, he often went to Li Zhiwei’s office for tea.
However, Lin Yi’s results were not bad. Moreover, every time he committed a crime, he did not do anything serious enough to warrant expulsion.
Due to this reason, the two of them had often butted heads in terms of both wit and courage.
This relationship lasted until Lin Yi graduated.
The two female students were a little surprised. They didn’t expect the handsome boss to graduate from Zhonghai Technology.
In other words, wasn’t he their senior?
“It’s even better that you’re the boss here.” Li Zhiwei said.
“Hurry up and call the police station. Don’t force those two graduate students to pay anymore. After that, apologize to them. I’ll help you make peace with them and this matter will be considered over.”
“Huh?” Lin Yi said, “What are you talking about? Did you not get enough sleep last night?”
“Lin Yi, how can you talk to me like that? I’m a teacher!”
“Teacher? I think you’re dreaming.” Lin Yi said.
“Do you not have to pay for your food? Do you not have to pay for damaged goods?”
“Don’t you know what you’re selling? Isn’t it obvious that you’re lying when you claim a bottle of red wine and two steaks costs 140,000 yuan?
“If they pursue the matter, you’ll have to bear the consequences. Can’t you tell that I’m trying to protect you?”
“I can’t agree with you.” Lin Yi said.
“A massage from a masseuse at the bathhouse cost 80 yuan per bath. Meanwhile, the girls in the club are 8,000 yuan per night. It’s not the same thing, so it’s naturally not the same price. You’re an old hooligan yourself, so why don’t you understand this simple logic?”
