Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

After witnessing the old man's culinary skills, even Ye Chen showed him exceptional respect.

With such genuine concern, the old man finally spoke slowly, revealing his identity.

It turns out that he was once an apprentice of the imperial chef, but he was an eccentric person. When cooking for others, he valued not only money but also character.

It was precisely because of his pickiness that even though many people knew his identity in secret, they were unable to recruit him.

In the end, it was Luo Ling who won the old man's respect by showing him sincerity!

"I'm getting old, so you'll all have to call me Third Master from now on. Oh, by the way, didn't you say you'd provide food and lodging? There's still a place available in this shop, so I'll live here and help you look after the restaurant!"

Third Master concluded by making a final decision.

Upon hearing this, Luo Ling's face broke into an even wider smile.

With someone helping to look after the house, I can be more active outside. Third Master's arrival couldn't have been more timely!

With such a pillar of strength, the future of my restaurant is bright!

With a hint of urgency, Luo Ling immediately sought out Ye Chen to discuss the matter in private.

"The restaurant must be renovated as quickly as possible, within a month!"

"Although the old man gave us three months, we'll still need time to adjust after opening. We absolutely cannot drive away the most important person!"

Ye Chen wholeheartedly agreed with this statement and immediately summoned Boss Hu to make his demands.

"Putting everything else aside, this shop must be renovated as soon as possible. You just tasted that old man's cooking; if this is done, I'll give you a 20% discount once it opens!"

Upon hearing this, Boss Hu immediately became highly motivated, and even a bowl of pork stew with vermicelli could make people swoon with its aroma.

If you were to make a dish that could be considered high-class, what would it taste like?

People like Boss Hu, who travel all over the country, usually attend all sorts of dinner parties.

If there really is a place where people can be brought here and are completely satisfied after eating, that would be a real credit to Boss Hu!

"Okay, I'll take care of this. It's a deal then, you give me a 20% discount!"

Boss Hu was exceptionally diligent; that very afternoon, he summoned his employees and immediately began designing blueprints.

After receiving Luo Ling's approval, construction began on the spot.

The next day, Boss Hu brought two whole carloads of people and began to renovate all the shops on the factory street.

For a time, the area around the factory street was bustling with activity, and such a commotion naturally did not escape the eyes of the Zhang family!

In the provincial capital, when Grandpa Zhang learned that Ye Chen wanted to renovate the shops on Factory Street, he immediately summoned Zhang Shaoyang.

"Go back now and do what you're supposed to do. Remember, if you see Ye Chen again, don't turn on him. Act like you're closer than a brother!"

Upon hearing this arrangement, Zhang Shaoyang frowned immediately. Ye Chen was his enemy who stole his wife; to become brothers with him? Old man, was he dreaming?

"Dad, what are you really thinking?"

"Do as I say. I told you, Ye Chen, I'll handle this kid!"

Old Master Zhang's face was stern, and he began to reprimand the man directly.

"If you weren't so clumsy and couldn't even handle this simple matter, why would I have to step in?"

"You're still young. Don't spend all your time thinking about who you're at odds with. You need to think about how to resolve things without arousing suspicion!"

"Just like the Luo family before, if we become irreconcilable enemies with them, and everyone knows it, the police will probably be knocking on our door immediately if something happens to the country!"

"Remember this: if you really want to get rid of someone, you have to befriend them. When everyone thinks you two are inseparable, then when you strike, no one will suspect you!"

Zhang Shaoyang frowned in thought, and quickly understood the old man's meaning, revealing a hint of respect in his eyes.

"Dad, you're really something. Don't worry, I'll listen to you on this matter. But knowing Ye Chen as I do, I doubt he'll trust me."

"What if I try several times and still can't gain his trust?"

Taking the opportunity, Zhang Shaoyang voiced his concerns, and Old Master Zhang immediately offered a solution.

"If you really can't get close to Ye Chen, then do everything you can to befriend that Boss Hu!"

"Remember this: your mission this time is to get your hands on the construction blueprints. Once the Zhang family has them, we can do whatever we want with them. Even if something goes wrong, no one will be able to trace it back to us!"

……

In the following days, in order to meet the construction deadline, Boss Hu simply lived at the construction site every day.

Ye Chen, on the other hand, became a hands-off manager, spending his days with a group of hunters and handing over the task of renovating the factory street entirely to Boss Hu.

That evening, just as Boss Hu finished work, he saw Zhang Shaoyang walking towards him.

"Mr. Hu, we met at the auction before. I immediately thought you were a generous spender and definitely someone worth making friends with!"

"We've finally managed to meet, so you absolutely have to give me a chance. Come on, I'll take you to the best restaurant in town, and we'll have a good drink together!"

Faced with such an invitation, Boss Hu frowned slightly, secretly conflicted.

He knew from the last auction that Zhang Shaoyang clearly didn't get along with Ye Chen.

Now that I'm doing things for Ye Chen, Zhang Shaoyang might be trying to get close to me because he wants to get to Ye Chen.

Even if Zhang Shaoyang doesn't have such thoughts, if Ye Chen finds out about his private contact with the other party, it will only affect their relationship!

As a successful businessman, Mr. Hu knows best that the most important thing to do in order to expand your business is to learn how to choose sides!

If you have unclear relationships with everyone, you might be able to make money from anyone, but you'll never make big money!

Rather than missing out on a cash cow like Ye Chen, Boss Hu still felt it was better to reject someone like Zhang Shaoyang!

"Young Master Zhang, your Zhang family is a large and powerful family. Even in the provincial capital, you are considered a number one figure. As the heir of the Zhang family, you are considered a young prodigy wherever you go."

"I'm just an ordinary businessman. I feel too much pressure to be friends with someone like you."

"How about this, we'll skip the meal, but if Young Master Zhang ever needs any help, just ask, and this Mr. Hu guarantees he won't refuse!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shaoyang's face immediately darkened. In his opinion, Boss Hu in front of him was simply ungrateful!

I personally invited you, how dare you refuse?

Normally, Zhang Shaoyang would have exploded on the spot, but remembering his father's previous teachings, he immediately restrained his temper and spoke gently.

"Boss Hu, you're joking. I know you didn't have a good impression of me when we met before, so it's only right that you refused."

"But I'm being sincere about making friends with you this time. It's okay if you don't believe me; you'll understand later."
