1012 New Urban Farmers Chapter 197 (Large Chapter)
"With a chuckle, the even more beautiful Teacher Ye Yun, her eyes reddening, laughed. 'Xiao Die, you go downstairs and greet the guests. Our future food and drink expenses will depend on this little restaurant, Xiao Die.' Zhang Guodong suddenly remembered that Ye Yun did indeed have a close maid in the bamboo house in Qingyang County; the two were the same person. He gave Xiao Die a grateful smile, but Xiao Die rolled her eyes at him, swayed her waist, and went downstairs. Why did Xiao Die seem a little dissatisfied with him?"
"Little man?" Ye Yun stood there with her large belly, arms outstretched, smiling as she waited for Zhang Guodong's embrace.
Zhang Guodong was so excited he almost cried. He quickly went over and gently embraced Teacher Ye Yun with his broad arms.
"Ye Yun, you've worked so hard!" Zhang Guodong said softly, kissing her forehead several times, clearly very moved.
Teacher Ye Yun didn't want to say anything, so she just closed her eyes and lay happily in Zhang Guodong's arms for a while. Zhang Guodong cursed himself, "Damn it, how could I forget you're pregnant? Sit down quickly. I can't let my son get tired!"
Teacher En Yeyun looked at Zhang Guodong gently, and the two of them sat down.
Zhang Guodong looked closely at her and she seemed even more beautiful than before. Her eyes were filled with tenderness and maternal love. Pregnant women are the most beautiful!
The two held hands. They didn't want to let go.
"Little man. How did you know I was here?" Teacher Ye Yun smiled beautifully and asked curiously. She used "little man" as an affectionate term. "I was planning to give you a surprise, but now the surprise is gone."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Guodong couldn't help but laugh and cry, but he preferred her nickname.
"Silly girl, you're my biggest surprise! I only just found out you opened a small restaurant next to Green Treasure Pavilion. Also, Fatty told me about your pregnancy!" Zhang Guodong said softly. "Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant? I've been out of town all this time. If Fatty hadn't said he saw you, I wouldn't have known how you were doing!"
Teacher Ye Yun asked in confusion, "Fatty?"
"It's Wang Kang! That kid's the township head now, and we're on good terms!" Zhang Guodong
road.
"Oh, it's that chubby kid? Looks like I couldn't hide it from him. Xiao Die asked him about you, that's probably how he found out. I hope there won't be any problems?" Teacher Ye Yun asked worriedly after learning who the chubby kid was, the student who had stayed at the restaurant for a while yesterday.
"No way! That kid knows a lot about me, but he wouldn't dare tell anyone, haha!" Zhang Guodong said smugly. "You don't need to worry!"
"That's good!" Teacher Ye Yun blushed slightly and lightly punched the young man. Look at how smug he is!
Although teacher-student relationships are relatively common in modern society, they remain a taboo topic and are considered unusual. This is especially true for Ye Yun, a teacher older than Zhang Guodong, who feels this way. Therefore, she is very worried about how outsiders will view her.
But now that she's pregnant with her boyfriend's child, she's resigned to her fate.
"How many months old is Ye Yun's baby? Let me hear about the little one!"
"Be careful. It's only five months. But the little one is quite fussy. We go to the hospital for a check-up every week, and the doctor says the fetus is very healthy!" Teacher Ye Yun said with a touch of shyness and happiness.
Zhang Guodong pressed his ear against Ye Yun's protruding, smooth belly and could feel the little life moving inside her—he was incredibly excited!
"I heard it! It must be Big Fatty!" Zhang Guodong exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes!" Teacher Ye Yun nodded and responded with a smile. "Do you like it?"
"I like it! Of course I like it! I, Zhang Guodong, like all my offspring, regardless of gender!" Zhang Guodong laughed heartily.
"Look at you, so pleased with yourself! What about your wife at home, little man?" Teacher Ye Yun said with a smile. "I heard from Fatty that your beautiful wife is pregnant too? Hmm, four months along."
Zhang Guodong was now in an awkward position.
This is all the result of my own actions.
"When the time is right, I will introduce you to him!" Zhang Guodong said awkwardly.
Teacher Ye Yun smiled charmingly and said, "Forget it, I'm not going to fight for that title. If your first wife knew I existed, she'd probably cause a huge uproar!"
That could actually be true.
Modern society is not like ancient times, where polygamy was acceptable and people had accepted monogamy. Now that Zheng Le is pregnant with his child, it's best not to let her know.
However, Zhang Guodong was determined to ensure the children got to know each other in the future. (The character "Zhang" cannot be written with the same stroke as another "Zhang"!)
In the living room, the couple were affectionately talking about everything that had happened since they separated. They hadn't been able to explain it so clearly on the phone before. Zhang Guodong finally understood that the surprise Teacher Ye Yun had mentioned was opening a restaurant next to Green Treasure Pavilion so they wouldn't be separated anymore.
I also understood her good intentions.
"Since you want to open a restaurant, then I support you. How about we open a big one?" Zhang Guodong tentatively suggested.
A small restaurant wouldn't earn much money in a year, and he was worried about overworking her. So he decided to invest in opening a large restaurant.
Let's think about it more deeply. If these assets are registered in the name of their unborn son, they won't have to worry about money in the future.
"I know you have money now, but I earn my own money and spend it all myself. I have enough. Why would I need more?" Teacher Ye Yun refused.
"Alright. But it would be best to also take over the two shops next door. I'll figure out a way to sell vegetables and seafood to the other restaurants in this larger area. If we're going to open a restaurant, we should open a boutique restaurant and sell the most expensive items!" Zhang Guodong said after thinking for a moment.
Ms. Ye Yun thought about it and agreed. Although she needed to expand the business area, she still had enough money. She didn't expect Zhang Guodong to mean, "Let's sell the most expensive items."
If the vegetables and seafood at Green Treasure Pavilion were prepared into delicacies, they would be considered premium dishes with exorbitant profits!
Zhang Guodong knew that if the business could continue, earning five or six million a year would be no problem at all. Besides, Taoyuan had plenty of vegetables and seafood.
That evening, they learned that Zhang Guodong might be back, but surprisingly, Fatty didn't bother Zhang Guodong.
The meal was eaten upstairs, and it was a delightful one. Teacher Ye Yun had never been so happy. Upstairs, laughter filled the air. Xiao Die, listening, gradually lost her resentment towards Zhang Guodong, muttering to herself, "At least he has some conscience!"
After the meal, Zhang Guodong decided to stay and keep Ms. Ye Yun company.
Lying in bed, Teacher Ye Yun's beautiful breasts were on full display, her chest bulging as if from pregnancy. Zhang Guodong greedily kissed and sucked on her cherry-red breasts, turning Teacher Ye Yun's body pink.
However, Zhang Guodong, from Yuerzhenge, held back and said coquettishly, "Little man, shall I help you get it out with my mouth?"
Zhang Guodong quickly stopped her: "Don't! You're like the giant panda of the Zhang family right now. Even if we could have sex now, I wouldn't dare to do anything reckless. It's fine for you to just sleep like this!"
"Mmm!" Teacher Ye Yun kissed him and smiled. "This is a reward for you!"
The next morning, Zhang Guodong woke up while Ms. Ye Yun was still sleeping in. However, he didn't dare move his arm for fear of waking her.
Pregnant women tend to sleep more, which is good for the fetus's development. Zhang Guodong is even more captivating when Ye Yun is sleeping. I was completely mesmerized!
Just then, a soft sound from the living room alerted Zhang Guodong. Xiaodie was quietly bending down to place breakfast on the coffee table; Zhang Guodong's gaze swept over her, revealing her cleavage. As soon as Xiaodie turned around, Zhang Guodong guiltily averted his gaze, offering an awkward smile.
Xiaodie seemed to realize something, her face flushed, she wrinkled her nose, and turned to leave. Zhang Guodong didn't leave the bedroom. But he could tell there was porridge and some milk on the coffee table, except there was an extra portion for Zhang Guodong.
Zhang Guodong was a little helpless; he had forgotten to close his bedroom door last night.
Teacher Ye Yun didn't open her eyes until 10 a.m. She seemed reluctant to get out of Zhang Guodong's arms, snuggling closer and shrinking into him. Poor Zhang Guodong, his arm was completely numb.
"Awake? Breakfast's all cold, beautiful lady, it's time to get up!" Zhang Guodong kissed her, his bright red lips lingering, wanting to savor them a little longer. Teacher Ye Yun cooperated briefly, then truly woke up, appearing rather languid.
"A little man?"
"What?" Zhang Guodong responded.
"It's nothing!" Teacher Ye Yun, confirming this wasn't a dream, smiled sweetly and gently hugged Zhang Guodong's arm to her chest, feeling its solidity. "Alright. Time to get up!"
Zhang Guodong was quite tempted. But Teacher Ye Yun wouldn't give him time to indulge in his desires, so he had no choice but to get up.
The two got up. Bu Die reheated the breakfast. It would be such a waste to throw it away! Zhang Guodong could hear customers gradually arriving at the shop below, and he could hear some voices. Although there weren't many, it was undoubtedly a good start.
At noon, Fatty finally called, clearly he was very impatient.
"Is it still with Teacher Ye?" the fat man asked furtively.
Zhang Guodong snapped, "Spit it out!"
Teacher Ye Yun rolled her eyes at the young man standing nearby.
"Damn. Now that you're back, how about you get me some good food and fish? My dad's treating the governor to dinner the day after tomorrow. We can't do without good stuff! If you don't show up soon, it'll be too late!" the fat man said immediately.
Zhang Guodong immediately took it seriously upon hearing this.
This is indeed an important matter!
"How about this? You come to Green Treasure Pavilion this afternoon, or I can deliver it to your door?" Zhang Guodong said after thinking for a moment.
"Hey. Okay. Whatever. My other older sister's been nagging me like crazy, maybe you could give her some help too?" the fat guy chuckled. He hadn't forgotten about his older sister Wang Lin's task. He was worried about how to complete it.
But this put Zhang Guodong in a difficult position.
The hotel's supply is no small amount. Moreover, while Taoyuan now has a wider variety of vegetables, the planting area for each type has decreased. If they need to supply Jiahao, Professor Ye Yun's restaurant might not be able to meet the demand.
“Fatty. Teacher Ye Yun also runs a restaurant here. I promised her, so I have to satisfy her first. I'm afraid Jiahao can't supply enough,” Zhang Guodong said truthfully.
"Oh, is that so? Hehe, it's okay, I'll tell my older sister. I'm just passing on the message, so you don't need to make things difficult for your relationship with Teacher Ye. Hehe, is there anything else to say? Don't forget what happened this afternoon." The fat man sneered.
"Get lost, you don't need to worry about it!" Zhang Guodong said with a relieved laugh.
Received the telegram
"The fat man's phone call?" Teacher Ye Yun asked softly.
“Yes. Fatty’s dad is Wang Qishan, a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. He’s going to have dinner with the Governor the day after tomorrow, so he asked me to prepare some vegetables and seafood,” Zhang Guodong said.
Teacher Ye Yun was slightly surprised. Inviting the provincial governor to dinner? She hadn't expected the fat man's family to be so powerful. However, she was more curious about why the young man provided vegetables. She was puzzled but didn't dwell on it.
Zhang Guodong smiled mysteriously and offered no explanation. Everyone will know after they've eaten this afternoon.
After having a light lunch, Zhang Guodong left Ye Yun's restaurant and drove back to the provincial government compound.
Before entering the room, I called Zheng Le and also called my mother.
He ate only a little at Ye Yun's place and then thought about getting home as soon as possible.
Teacher Ye Yun was very understanding and urged him to go home.
As Zhang Guodong entered his own home, the two families were having dinner together. He arrived just in time, but his mother immediately scolded him, "You brat, you finally know how to come back? Always running around outside, why don't you care about the family? You can't earn enough money! Lele needs someone to accompany you right now, so you're not allowed to go anywhere this time!"
Zhang Guodong immediately agreed, thankfully Zheng's father had helped him out of the predicament.
Zhang Guodong, shameless as ever, sat down next to Zheng Le, who was smiling, and after a careful look, whispered, "Did you miss me when I wasn't around?"
"Miss you? Yeah, right!" Zheng Le said playfully. But the tenderness in her eyes betrayed her!
This made Zhang Guodong very arrogant!
"Come on, everyone, let's eat!" Aunt Meilan said with a kind smile, glancing at her daughter and son-in-law.
The dividing line shows Zhang Guodong eating very little, talking about things in Qingyang while he ate. He ate a little at Teacher Ye Yun's place, but couldn't eat much at home. Fortunately, no one brought it up. The atmosphere became much more lively when the two families ate together. After the meal, the two sets of elders unexpectedly went to Zheng's house for tea, actually giving the young couple some space.
The reason Zheng Le's lower abdomen seemed more prominent than Ye Yun's was that she was thinner than Ye Yun, which made Zhang Guodong feel sorry for her.
“You should eat more and rest more. If that doesn’t work, go to the station and ask for leave. How can you keep going like this? You’re sleeping so late every night. It’s not good for your health or the baby’s health!” Zhang Guodong said, putting his arm around her shoulder.
The two of them looked at the scenery outside from the balcony, creating a slightly romantic atmosphere.
Zheng Le stuck out her tongue, tilted her head back, and said coquettishly, "It's only been four months. Wouldn't taking leave be inappropriate? I'm not that delicate."
Zhang Guodong liked her like this and couldn't help but tap her nose affectionately, saying, "Do you not want to stay at home alone? Or are you afraid that taking leave will have a bad impact? Don't worry, I'll stay at home and not go anywhere, just keep you company!" "Really?" Zheng Le was obviously very happy.
Her mood improved after she became pregnant, but it was a pity that Zhang Guodong was always away, never around when she missed him. "I'm a liar!"
"I'm not kidding you, I don't really need to go there. I just need to deliver goods once a month. Most of the time I'm free!" Zhang Guodong laughed.
Zhang Guodong and Zheng Le spent a short while together, and then she went to work that afternoon. Her workaholic nature left Zhang Guodong feeling helpless. Unable to resist her pleas, Zhang Guodong finally agreed to work another month before taking leave.
He knew Zheng Le really liked this job, so he couldn't help but support him. He just asked Zheng Le to wear flat shoes and not wander off; he'd call him and accompany him personally.
Only after agreeing to all these conditions was she allowed to go to work.
Zhang Guodong was alone at home. He told his parents and Zheng's parents that he was leaving, drove around, filled the van to the brim, and then returned to Green Treasure Pavilion.
When Teacher Ye Yun saw that Zhang Guodong had actually brought a considerable variety of vegetables and aquatic products—thirteen kinds of vegetables and wild greens, seven kinds of aquatic products, and one more, clams—she was amazed.
He instructed the hotel staff to move the things inside, squinting as he watched Zhang Guodong busily working with a broad smile.
Zhang Guodong specifically instructed Teacher Ye Yun: "These vegetables and seafood are exceptionally high quality, so please set the price a bit higher. I sold this grass carp for over a hundred yuan per kilogram, so let's make some for our own family to eat first, and then we can discuss the price more specifically. Don't worry about not being able to sell them."
When Teacher Ye Yun heard this, she was taken aback and thought Zhang Guodong was joking. But after looking at the appearance of the dishes and Zhang Guodong's expression, she was sure he was not joking.
"Where did you get these? Were they very expensive? How much did they cost?" Teacher Ye Yun asked.
But Zhang Guodong wasn't about to tell the truth. He said seriously, "Ye Yun's purchase price isn't actually that high, which is why there's such a huge profit. Consider this part of a gift I'm preparing for the child. So don't worry about that; I can't give you a formal title. But I can't let you suffer otherwise! I'll send it over once a week from now on; that should be enough."
Teacher Ye Yun gently responded and hugged Zhang Guodong, indicating that she had agreed.
"Alright, I'll send some to Fatty too. His dad's having important guests over for dinner tomorrow, so as his brother, I naturally have to lend a hand!" Zhang Guodong said, patting her plump buttocks.
"Go on, you little man!" Teacher Ye Yun, whose fleshy buttocks had been violated, said coquettishly, but did not forget to tease Zhang Guodong, whose face was flushed.
The fat man was in the provincial capital these past two days. Although he had become the township head and it was a new beginning, he still had to complete his father's task. In addition, he also had to continue to provide vegetables and aquatic products to Secretary Sun, so Zhang Guodong specially prepared more. After delivering the vegetables and aquatic products from the first van to "Dongyun Restaurant," the van circled around and then came out with half a van full of more.
"Fatty, the stuff has arrived. Are you coming to pick it up, or should I deliver it to your house?" Zhang Guodong called Fatty on the way.
"Hehe, okay. I was just looking for you. Come over here, I'll meet you at the door." But the fat man was unexpectedly at home.
When Zhang Guodong arrived at the municipal party committee compound, the fat man had already done a quick registration at the gate before the van drove in. The fat man, sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head and his eyes narrowed immediately: "Guodong, you're a good brother. Secretary Sun's health has improved a lot these days; he hasn't had another attack. The doctor said he should be fully recovered in about a month. If you don't come back soon, I'll have to go to Qingyang to find you!"
Zhang Guodong curled his lip. He said bluntly, "Come on, would you give me money? If you did, I wouldn't dare take it!"
The fat man immediately laughed it off. His family might be wealthy, but that didn't mean he was. He still had the money he borrowed from Zhang Guodong in his account. Where would he get the money to pay off the debt? With only his meager monthly salary and allowance, paying off the debt would be more painful than scraping his own flesh.
"Is the provincial governor your dad invited the official one? Or the deputy one? Why are they eating at home?" Zhang Guodong asked.
The fat man perked up at this, saying, "That's right! Hehe, although my dad is also a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, he's more of a regional official. This is a family dinner to strengthen relationships. It's not as 'close' outside as it is at home. My dad's ranking on the Standing Committee is rather low."
The implication is that in the future, when there may be situations where we need to rely on them, we can't afford to be unfriendly.
"But your dad is the top official in the provincial capital, so he has more power than a regular standing committee member, right?" Zhang Guodong was a little skeptical. Aside from four or five standing committee members, the other members of the provincial committee probably didn't have as much real power as the fat guy's dad, did they?
Don't believe me?
Even if the head of the provincial organization department is appointed to the standing committee, that's not a small amount of power, right? But the appointment of the top two leaders of a provincial capital city at the vice-ministerial level is a matter for the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and the provincial organization department has no say in it.
Is the fat man's father, the top official in the provincial capital, really that powerful? He's the one who calls the shots here.
Therefore, although their political ranking is low, their actual power is not.
Fatty chuckled. That was a tacit agreement.
"Anyway, thank you, buddy! This meal is very important; I doubt only you could get such good food. My parents are much better and asked me to thank you on their behalf! They want you to come over often, haha!"
Zhang Guodong chuckled. "Who told me to be your older brother? Haha, I'll just have to take a little loss!"
“You’re arguing with me again. You’re even a few months younger than me!” the fat man retorted.
"Manners. You're a township head now, you need to stay calm! How can you be so impulsive?" Zhang Guodong joked.
This is something that fat people are likely to look down on.
"Oh right, I almost forgot something. I told my older sister about you and Teacher Ye. Guess what she said?" The fat man suddenly remembered something and was so happy that he almost forgot.
"What did you say?" Zhang Guodong asked, puzzled.
The fat man chuckled and said, "My older sister told me to ask you if you want to invest in Jiahao. Specifically, she asked Teacher Ye to close down the small restaurant. Investing in Jiahao, however, requires you to provide vegetables and seafood!"
Zhang Guodong was taken aback. Investing in Jiahao? Jiahao is a five-star hotel, worth at least 100 million yuan, right? That's something the fat man had mentioned occasionally.
But upon calming down, it seemed that the chubby older sister didn't want to give up her vegetables and seafood. Was she planning to tie them down by taking a stake? Zhang Guodong thought this was indeed a very clever move.
If Teacher Ye Yun could really invest in Jiahao, that would naturally be a good thing. Zhang Guodong was worried that even a small investment would overwork her. Therefore, he was somewhat tempted.
"How many shares does your sister plan to give up?" Zhang Guodong, who was contributing a certain amount of vegetables and aquatic products provided by me, asked Teacher Ye.
"I didn't ask you and my sister about this small amount, but even close brothers should keep clear accounts. If it's a business partnership with my sister, then let's stick to business. I won't interfere," the fat man said awkwardly.
Zhang Guodong nodded, understanding his concerns. This was a matter that Fatty really couldn't get involved in; getting involved with personal interests could easily damage the brotherly relationship.
"Okay, I think this suggestion is great. Let's discuss it with Teacher Ye when we get back!"
After Zhang Guodong and Fatty unloaded all the vegetables and aquatic products at the Wang family villa, they were invited inside for water, but Zhang Guodong refused to accept the money.
"Bu Zhang, thank you so much this time. Your aunt and I have become quite picky about the food you provided!" Wang Qishan said with a forced smile as he entered the room.
He actually laughed?
Zhang Guodong was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said modestly, "Uncle Wang, what trouble is there? Fatty and I are classmates and brothers, this little favor is nothing!"
Wang Qishan nodded, tacitly agreeing. Zhang Guodong was a businessman, but he had never used the Wang family's connections to do anything. Besides, he knew his own son well; he wouldn't associate with snobbish people. The fact that Wang Qishan brought Zhang Guodong along meant that Zhang Guodong was trustworthy.
Wang Qishan will not interfere with his son's social circle.
Zhang Guodong sat at the Wang family's house for a while before getting up to leave. Wang Qishan tried to persuade him to stay for dinner, but Zhang Guodong had other things on his mind and didn't want to stay any longer.
"Xiao Zhang, please come often in the future. If you have any difficulties, you can call me or give me your regards! Please also give my and your aunt's greetings to your parents!" Wang Qishan said to Zhang Guodong.
"Thank you, Uncle Wang. I will tell my parents!" Zhang Guodong said, expressing his gratitude.
“Guodong, you and Xiaokang are good friends. You have to persuade this brat. He was originally engaged to the Lin family’s daughter, but he’s postponed it. He said that taking leave to get engaged and married while serving as the township head would have a bad influence, and the Lin family would have objections if it went on for too long,” Fatty’s mother said to Zhang Guodong.
Zhang Guodong was secretly pleased, but nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, Auntie, I'll talk to her about it!"
As they left the Standing Committee compound, Zhang Guodong and the fat man both breathed a sigh of relief. The fat man even said with a wry smile, "Guodong, you're more popular than me! I'm so nervous in front of my dad that I'm afraid only my older sister would dare to speak up for me!"
"What's going on with Lin Meimei?" Zhang Guodong asked with a smile.
"Oh, don't even mention it. Getting engaged or married online by a township head is such a hassle these days, so I'm thinking of postponing it and doing it later," the fat man said.
“Engagement and marriage are just formalities. Lin Yujiao is a good girl, let’s get married first and then we can do the rest later!” Zhang Guodong said.
After thinking for a moment, the fat man nodded and said, "I'll discuss it with her." Zhang Guodong said goodbye to the fat man and hurriedly returned to Green Treasure Pavilion. The fat man's older sister, Wang Lin, suggested that Ye Yun invest in Jiahao and become a shareholder. Zhang Guodong was very interested.
When I told Teacher Ye Yun, she was shocked for quite a while.
A shareholder in a five-star hotel? She was very tempted. But upon calming down, she wondered what qualifications she had to become a shareholder.
"Use Dongyun Restaurant and your vegetables as shares? How much is my restaurant worth, little man?" Teacher Ye Yun quickly understood that this little man was taking care of her, and touched by his actions, she kissed him a few times and said with a hint of resentment.
“It’s very valuable, especially with the boss’s wife around! So it’s settled then. If we agree on the cooperation, the shares will be in your name, and you can put them in your son’s name later!” Zhang Guodong said happily.
Upon hearing that the registration would be under her son's name, Ms. Ye Yun no longer objected: "Alright, we'll register it under his name after he's born!"
Zhang Guodong was even happier when she agreed. He immediately contacted Fatty to discuss shares with Wang Lin. To be honest, Zhang Guodong had only met Wang Lin once. After exchanging a few words, he clearly sensed that Wang Lin's gaze towards him was very unfriendly when they met again.
The fat man knew the reason and couldn't help but smile bitterly. His older sister, upon hearing even a little about Zhang Guodong's affairs, immediately remarked, "This Zhang Guodong is no good either!"
However, Wang Lin's attitude changed when Zhang Guodong proposed putting the shares in Ye Yun's name.
When it came to deciding on the percentage of shares, the fat man withdrew from the conversation. Only Zhang Guodong and Wang Lin remained, engaged in a heated debate over the shares in Jiahao's private room.
Zhang Guodong didn't intend to give in, just as the fat man said. In business, there's no room for sentimentality, hence the fierce competition.
Zhang Guodong even bluntly stated, "My advantages can determine the success or failure of a large hotel, so I cannot give up even a fraction of the 40% stake!"
This outrageous demand left Wang Lin speechless. Her bottom line was originally 20%, but Zhang Guodong's appetite was far greater!
"Forty percent? No way!" The older beauty refused outright.
The two sides went back and forth, but Zhang Guodong remained unyielding on the shareholding, saying only, "I can pay an additional ten million in cash, but the shares must be forty percent! Otherwise, Jiahao has no investment. How much is the value of ten million?" Wang Lin naturally knew. If Zhang Guodong provided Green Treasure Pavilion's products, the profits generated annually would definitely be substantial.
After all, Wang Lin had other investments. Jiahao's presence also brought opportunities to other businesses.
Wang Lin could only reluctantly agree to the request. The Jiahao Hotel's inventory was almost depleted; if they didn't supply more, they would lose the customers they had worked so hard to build!
When the two finally left the private room, Zhang Guodong had a smile on his face, while Wang Lin looked resentful. The fat man immediately felt embarrassed when he saw their expressions.
It seems like a deal has been reached, but it probably really upset my older sister!
"Teacher Ye, come in and sign the contract, Fatty. You come in too and be a witness!" Zhang Guodong said with a smile, as the victor.
The fat man shrugged and went inside to have a cold drink to calm his nerves.
"How many shares does Guodong hold?" Teacher Ye Yun asked quietly from behind.
Zhang Guodong smiled smugly and said, "Forty percent of Jiahao's shares!"
"Pfft!" The fat man sprayed out his drink.
"So much?!" Teacher Ye Yun exclaimed in surprise. The fat man stared blankly at his older sister and Zhang Guodong, utterly speechless. He naturally knew his sister's bottom line, but he hadn't expected her to give so much.
ten!
"Of course, I also have to pay Mr. Wang ten million in cash," Zhang Guodong added helplessly.
This earned him several eye rolls.
Legs: I've written so much, basically eight thousand words! But it's only a seven-thousand-word subscription. Everyone can read with peace of mind.
