Chapter 386 - 195: Teach Her a Good Lesson
Jin Ming, who was usually cool and reserved, was blushing for the first time. She whispered, "What boss’s wife..."
Tan Hongkai looked at Yang Chen with a smile, worried he might say something wrong.
Yang Chen smiled and said, "Weren’t you planning to eat at Tang Pavilion? So, I bought it. Now you can come and eat here whenever you want, and it won’t cost you anything."
Jin Ming was shocked and quickly stood up.
"R-really? You... you bought Tang Pavilion?" Jin Ming was so surprised she could hardly speak coherently.
Tan Hongkai: "It’s true. Mr. Yang just acquired our Tang Pavilion in full. Now all Dragon Country’s Si stores belong to Mr. Yang, and the boss’s wife shouldn’t doubt it. Mr. Yang really has a sense of romance. The boss’s wife said she wanted to eat here, and you bought Tang Pavilion."
Jin Ming was so astonished she didn’t know what to say. Such a high-end restaurant was bought just like that; how rich must he be?
We’re just acting out a play, isn’t this price too high to pay?
"Could this guy really like me? Is he trying to pursue me? Actually, you’re so handsome, you don’t need to spend so much to win me over," Jin Ming thought to herself.
"When you like someone, of course you want to give her the best of everything. Manager Lin, don’t you agree?" Yang Chen said on purpose.
Lin Ming felt awkward and wanted to find a hole to crawl into. He forced a couple of awkward laughs but couldn’t manage to say a word.
Chairman Chen now had a deeper understanding of Yang Chen’s capabilities and said with a smile, "You young people really know how to have fun. Manager Lin, stop making it difficult for the couple, and hurry up and sign Miss Jin’s resignation letter. Later, I’ll give your company some funds to test out, alright?"
Chairman Chen thought that if Yang Chen could afford to acquire Tang Pavilion, he must be very good at investing.
He was eager for Yang Chen’s investment company to start running, so he could invest some funds there and make money.
Now Lin Ming felt really awkward, putting in all the effort to secure Chairman Chen’s funds but ended up benefiting Yang Chen instead.
Now, he had no choice but to agree; otherwise, Chairman Chen wouldn’t give his company a dime.
Plus, Jin Ming was determined to leave; he could only hold her back for a month at most.
Knowing now that Jin Ming has such an impressive boyfriend, Lin Ming completely gave up on her.
So, sigh...
Sign it.
"Since Chairman Chen has spoken, I can’t act foolishly. When I get back to the company, I’ll sign Jin Ming’s resignation letter immediately," Lin Ming said unwillingly.
Chairman Chen nodded with a smile and said, "Manager Lin has the right mindset. Dragging it out for a month is meaningless; it’s better to part on good terms, so it’s not awkward when you meet in the future. Who knows, you might even have the opportunity to collaborate and manage a stock together someday."
Lin Ming forced a smile and nodded unwillingly.
At this moment, the manager of the hall brought over two receipts.
One was Yang Chen’s consumption list and total amount, and the other was Lin Ming’s table’s consumption list and total amount.
Yang Chen’s table didn’t order much, but everything was top quality, totaling 198,000.
Lin Ming’s table was a bit more expensive at 220,000.
Looking at the bill, Lin Ming felt his heart breaking.
If he could secure Chairman Chen’s funds, the 220,000, or even 2,200,000, would be a worthwhile expense, and the company would definitely reimburse him unconditionally.
But now, Chairman Chen clearly wanted to work with Yang Chen, making it difficult to justify the 220,000.
Failing to secure the client while adding 200,000 in revenue for Yang Chen’s Tang Pavilion, the more he thought about it, the angrier and more frustrated he got.
Yang Chen: "Manager Lin, thank you for your support. In the future, make sure to come to our Tang Pavilion to discuss matters."
Lin Ming awkwardly smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, don’t joke with me. Who can afford to eat here? Whether I can even get this reimbursed is uncertain."
Chairman Chen chuckled and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t eat your meal for free. I’ll provide your company with some funds later, so you can report back confidently. I had a great time today, but I just came back from abroad and need to report back to work. I’ll take my leave now. Mr. Yang, I’m looking forward to the opening of your company."
Yang Chen stood up and shook hands with Chairman Chen, saying, "Alright! A 50% annual return rate is really simple."
Chairman Chen: "Haha... with that assurance, I’m much more at ease. Farewell!"
Yang Chen: "Sure. Take care, Chairman Chen. Manager Tan, please see Chairman Chen out."
Tan Hongkai nodded and escorted Chairman Chen out.
Lin Ming felt embarrassed staying any longer and quickly followed them out.
Now, only Yang Chen and Jin Ming were left in the office.
"So, how was it? Was my performance as your fake boyfriend okay?" Yang Chen asked with a smile.
Jin Ming covered her mouth and giggled, "Not bad, very professional indeed. Do you treat many girls like this?"
Yang Chen: "Not really, it mainly depends on my mood and feelings. Some girls don’t suit my taste, even if they come on to me, I’m not interested. But if a girl is up to my taste, I’m very willing to help out."
Jin Ming: "Player! Anyone who likes you is bound to be heartbroken every day."
Yang Chen: "Whether I’m a player is another matter, but could you get up first? My legs are numb with you sitting on them."
Jin Ming then realized she had been sitting on Yang Chen’s lap, leaning in his arms.
This made her feel extremely embarrassed, her fair face turning even redder, her ears flushed.
She quickly stood up and said, "Sorry, sorry, I didn’t realize."
Yang Chen got up and stretched his legs, saying, "It’s alright. If you need help next time, you can still come to me. You should hurry back to your company and finish up your resignation process; my company is waiting for you."
Jin Ming: "Okay! I’ll head back first. Oh, by the way, um... I don’t have that much money on me right now. Can I come back and settle the bill after I withdraw money?"
