"The army rewarded me with 800,000 bucks. Should I take over the restaurant?"
Qin Yi began to ponder.
Except for the location of this restaurant, the decoration and scale were decent. Its location wasn't poor, but there were too many restaurants on the street. It was only more than 20 minutes away from the university.
It seemed worth it for 800,000 bucks. Not to mention they would get five years free of rent. The boss must be desperate to sell the restaurant as he couldn't bear the loss.
Qin Yi had tasted Shen Moyun's cooking skills at noon. She was absolutely a professional and would attract a lot of customers. This was why he had the idea of opening a restaurant.
However, he couldn't pay it all by himself. He had to get Shen Moyun involved.
Otherwise, how could he make money if someone else wanted to hire her with a higher salary one day?
He had to pull her along and cooperate with her!
Qin Yi made up his mind and consulted Shen Moyun for her opinion.
"I only have two hundred thousand here." Shen Moyun spread her hands helplessly and said softly, "Qin Yi, forget it. The location of this store is poor. Look at how empty the place is. It's not popular."
"It's alright. Good wine needs so bush." Qin Yi smiled. "There is such a big open space outside. We can turn it into a parking lot for the customers. How about this? You pay 150,000, and I'll pay the rest."
"Well..." Shen Moyun was still a little hesitant.
"You don't have confidence in your cooking skills?" Qin Yi had no choice but to provoke her.
"I am confident!" Shen Moyun never doubted her cooking skills.
"That's it." Qin Yi spread his hands.
After pondering for a long time, Shen Moyun gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement.
......
After completing the procedures, Qin Yi and Shen Moyun discussed how to split their profits in the future.
Shen Moyun was in charge of the restaurant's management, while Qin Yi was only a preference shareholder.
The two were discussing the proportion of dividends at the bar counter. At this time, the previous chef of the restaurant came over with the waiters and said, "Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin, we..."
Mr. Qin?
Mrs. Qin?
Qin Yi and Shen Moyun couldn't help but glance at each other...
Qin Yi understood that the chefs wanted to ask if they could stay and continue working. He smiled and said, "You have to ask Mrs. Qin. She's in charge of management."
"Screw you!" Shen Moyun's face was flushed red as she glared at him.
However, Shen Moyun was naturally charming. Although she was glaring at Qin Yi, it made Qin Yi feel that she was seducing him.
"Haha, okay. You can sort things out here! I'm going out for a stroll." Qin Yi left with a smile.
He bought this restaurant because he acknowledged Shen Moyun's cooking skills.
It wasn't a rash decision.
When he trained with his master, he tried a lot of dishes cooked by famous chefs hired by aristocratic families. Some of them weren't as good as hers.
Shen Moyun indeed had great talent in cooking.
It was a pity that talents were everywhere, but seldom could they be recognized.
People only focused on her beauty and ignored her cooking skills.
He believed that with her in charge of the kitchen, he would earn a lot of money in the future!
......
Shen Moyun was still busy in the restaurant until night. Yu Xiaofei went home after class and packed up in a hurry before leaving.
Qin Yi was alone at home and couldn't be bothered to cook. So, he decided to go out as well.
The night market was already set up on the street.
There were people selling clothes, snacks, and imitation bags everywhere. It was very lively.
Just as he was walking toward Shen Moyun's restaurant, he suddenly heard someone quarreling in front.
When he looked over, he saw a pure and lovely girl dressed in a white T-shirt, three-quarter-length jeans, and a bag around her waist, arguing with a sturdy woman in front of a stall.
Obviously, this girl was at a disadvantage in both physique and momentum.
"When I bought this dress yesterday, you said it could be returned if it doesn't fit me. Hurry up and return my money!" The sturdy woman shouted loudly.
"But... But the clothes are torn. How can I sell them to other customers?" The girl said in an aggrieved tone.
"That's none of my business. Besides, how can you prove that I did this? Cut the crap. If you don't return the money, I will immediately ask my husband to come and stop you from running this stall!"
"No, don't!" Hearing that she was not allowed to set up her stall, the girl was so anxious that her eyes turned red. "I'll return the money to you..."
After all, she was in a foreign country. It was better to avoid trouble.
When she was about to take the money from her bag, a hand suddenly reached out to stop her.
Qin Yi couldn't bear to watch any longer.
The cut on the clothes was obviously man-made. That sturdy woman must have torn the dress while trying it on, but she blamed the little girl.
"You don't have to give her the money." Qin Yi smiled at the girl.
The sturdy woman was stunned when she saw someone ruining her plan. She then pointed angrily at Qin Yi and yelled, "Hey! What does it have to do with you?"
"I can't stand seeing you bully her. Your behavior affected my mood," Qin Yi shrugged.
The sturdy woman was shocked, and the crowd couldn't help but be stunned. How could Qin Yi call that a reason?
After taking a deep breath, the sturdy woman shouted, "Who do you think you are? Are you trying to become the hero? Think twice before you act. Do you know who my husband is? You'll be scared to death if you know hear his name!"
"Just tell me his name. Try scaring me to death." Qin Yi smiled.
The sturdy woman was speechless.
She choked on her words again and glared at Qin Yi, unable to say anything.
At this moment, the girl carefully tugged at Qin Yi and said timidly, "Her... Her husband is in charge of this street."
The stall owners beside them persuaded Qin Yi, "Kid, forget it. I've heard that her husband is very influential on this street. It's better to avoid trouble. That piece of clothing doesn't cost much. Don't ruin the stall and make things hard for the little girl."
"Yes, forget it. She bought a pair of sandals from me last time and wanted to return them after wearing them for a week. It'll be over if you endure it."
"Young man, even if you drive her away now, she'll make her husband come tomorrow, and this little girl will be in trouble again."
Qin Yi kept quiet.
The sturdy woman listened to the others persuading Qin Yi and snorted proudly, "What do you think? I advise you to go on with your business. Don't think that you are so great and can save her."
Unimpressed, Qin Yi smiled while listening to what they said.
He took out 100 bucks and said to the chubby woman, "Ask your husband to come now. This money is yours, and I sincerely apologize, but if he doesn't come, you leave obediently, okay?"
Everyone was confused. They didn't know what he was trying to do. If the woman really called her husband, it would be a big deal.
"Young man, don't make trouble. You'd better return the money to her!" The middle-aged man at the stall next door began to persuade him again. "It doesn't benefit anyone to make a big deal out of it."
However, Qin Yi wasn't moved. He looked at the chubby woman and continued, "Will you do that, Yanli?"
A meaningful smile flashed across Qinyi's face when he called her name. Instantly, the chubby woman's face turned pale.
The chubby woman's proud expression disappeared. She couldn't help asking, "Who... Who are you?"
"It's none of your business who I am. I'm asking you if you can call your husband over." Qin Yi smiled faintly. "I think you should know the consequences if you can't call him over and keep refusing to leave."
The chubby woman glared at Qin Yi for a while before turning away huffily in the end!
When everyone saw this, they all felt sorry for the girl.
"Hah, young people nowadays are too impulsive. They don't even consider the consequences."
"That's right. They might feel proud to show off for a while, but what about the future? He will get into trouble!"
Qin Yi did not say anything.
