After hanging up the phone, Gao Yan found it somewhat amusing, because during the call, Cheng Hao had told him that he had also invited all the classmates to a hot pot restaurant.

The fact that a fat man can pretend to be poor for two years shows that he's not the kind of person who likes to show off.

But this time, he invited all his classmates.

Is it to show off?

Of course not.

It was because of Yang Yue.

I wanted to stand up for my brother Gao Yan.

Didn't Yang Yue reject Gao Yan back then?

Cheng Hao wanted to tell Yang Yue in this way that she was blind and missed a great opportunity.

Gao Yan didn't say anything unnecessary or hypocritical in response to Cheng Hao's good intentions.

We're all young people, and who doesn't have a bit of pride in their heart?

Although he did not resent Yang Yue for rejecting him.

But it's clear that Yang Yue feels regret and remorse for this.

He was quite willing.

After all, the first person he thought of was Yang Yue was because they were classmates, and it was good to keep the good stuff in the family!

It's still early.

Gao Yan first went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Then I picked up some professional books and started reading.

Now it's as if his memory and comprehension have been boosted, making learning incredibly enjoyable.

It's eleven o'clock.

Gao Yan put down his book, turned off the light, and went to sleep.

Nine o'clock the next morning.

Gao Yan took a taxi to the Brothers Hot Pot restaurant.

"Brother Yan is here! Let me show you around our territory!"

Cheng Hao enthusiastically showed Gao Yan around the two-story hot pot restaurant and asked, "How was it?"

"good!"

Gao Yan nodded. He could tell that Cheng Hao had indeed put a lot of effort into this hot pot restaurant.

"Hehe, that's good!"

Cheng Hao smiled smugly, "The ribbon-cutting ceremony will be at 10:40. We specially consulted a master to calculate the time. You'll be going up with us later!"

"No!"

Gao Yan waved his hand: "I'll just quietly be a shareholder, and I'll leave the spotlighting to you!"

Are you sure you don't want to go?

Cheng Hao laughed and said, "If other people knew that you were also one of the owners of this store, there would definitely be a lot of girls chasing after you, and you wouldn't have to worry about finding a girlfriend in the future!"

"No need, I already have a girlfriend!"

The image of Zhuo Jiangyue flashed through Gao Yan's mind.

"When did this happen? How come I didn't know?" Cheng Hao asked in astonishment.

"We just officially became a couple yesterday, and she's coming today!"

Gao Yan smiled and said, "I'll introduce you to him later."

Just then, a loud engine roared.

A bright red Ferrari 488 followed closely behind and drove to the open space outside the hot pot restaurant.

The car door opened.

A long, slender, white leg stepped onto the ground first, followed by a blonde woman with bright red lips, wavy hair, and sunglasses who emerged from the car.

This woman was only in her early twenties, and her makeup and attire were somewhat retro.

Most people would find it difficult to pull off, as it could give the impression of being overly made-up and flaunting one's charm.

But when she wears it, it gives off an unapproachable queen-like aura.

The woman stepped into the hot pot restaurant, took off her sunglasses, and shouted, "Little mouse, aren't you going to come out and greet me?"

"Hey, sister, I'm the boss now, can't you give your little brother some face?"

Cheng Hao rushed down from the second floor, forcing a smile as he spoke.

"This little brat thinks he can boss me around!"

Tang Ye curled his lip in disdain, a hint of amusement hidden in his eyes.

A wry smile flashed across Cheng Hao's face. He knew he couldn't do anything to this shrew, so he asked, "Sis, when did you come back to the country? Why didn't you tell me? I could have picked you up at the airport!"

"Alright, stop with the pretense."

Tang Ye waved his hand dismissively: "Tell me, why did you decide to open a hot pot restaurant? You have such a big family business, why don't you think about inheriting it, but instead come here to open a hot pot restaurant!"

"Sis, you don't know, there's a reason I opened a hot pot restaurant!"

At this moment, Cheng Hao waved to Gao Yan: "Gao Yan, let me introduce you. This is my cousin, Tang Ye. Sister, I opened a hot pot restaurant, and it was my brother Gao Yan who provided me with a unique hot pot base!"

"Hello, Sister Tang, I'm Gao Yan."

Gao Yan greeted him with a smile, but did not extend his hand.

Tang Ye scrutinized Gao Yan with a critical eye, then smiled and said, "You're Little Mouse's only friend. Help him well. As long as you don't have any ulterior motives, we won't treat you unfairly!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Hao's expression immediately changed, and Gao Yan also felt somewhat uncomfortable, because the other party's words conveyed a sense of warning and condescension.

The next moment, Cheng Hao questioned, "Sis, Gao Yan is my best brother. What do you mean by saying this? You must apologize to him!"

Gao Yan opened his mouth as well, but didn't say anything. If he spoke up against Tang Ye, Cheng Hao would be caught in the middle. Clearly, Tang Ye regarded him as the kind of sycophant who curries favor with the powerful.

To be honest, he wouldn't have wanted 30% of the shares at all if Cheng Hao hadn't forced him to.

Moreover, if that super hot pot base is prepared properly, the value it creates will definitely be in the billions.

Even if Cheng Hao gave him 30% of the shares in this store, he would accept it without feeling guilty and would not feel like he was taking advantage of Cheng Hao!

Moreover, with the system at his disposal, he was confident that his future achievements would be quite remarkable, so he never considered currying favor with anyone!

But Tang Ye clearly saw him as that kind of person.

Faced with Cheng Hao's questioning, Tang Ye raised an eyebrow: "Little rat, you've gotten bolder. Are you sure you want me to apologize?"
