Chapter 427 Cooperation with Feng Gan

After the private room was cleaned, Feng Gan moved in.

Soon after, the dishes were served, filling the air with their aroma.

Feng Gan, carrying a wine pot, poured a cup for the person next to him, a faint smile curving his lips, and said, "Manager Wan, everything is negotiable, there's no such thing as a decision."

Wan Qiqi lowered her eyes and stared at the wine glass in front of her, her emotions unreadable, and said, "I still have to take care of things at the restaurant later, so I won't drink."

"I heard that Manager Wan is going to conduct an assessment of the employees, and the results will determine whether they stay or leave. Why not give me, his distant cousin, a chance?"

Feng Gan didn't pressure Wan Qiqi. He sat down, propped his head up, and laughed, "If he's worse than the others and gets eliminated, I have nothing to say."

It must be said that Feng Gan came prepared, having thoroughly investigated the restaurant's affairs.

Wan Qiqi hadn't expected Feng Gan to cause trouble, but she was surprised that he would interfere like this.

But this side of Feng Gan gave her a new idea.

Wan Qiqi raised her eyes, looked Feng Gan up and down, and parted her lips slightly, "I heard that Tang Qiwen has disappeared. Does Young Master Feng know where he went?"

"How would I know where he is!" Feng Gan replied casually, then a flash of inspiration struck him, as if he understood what Wan Qiqi meant.

Before he could speak, Wan Qiqi continued, "The outcome between Tang Qiwen and me is still uncertain, so it will be difficult for the restaurant to develop further in the future."

“If Young Master Feng’s younger brother comes in, Tang Qiwen will probably treat him as one of my men. If something goes wrong, I can’t bear the responsibility.”

As she finished speaking, a hint of sadness appeared in Wan Qiqi's eyes, as if she regretted it.

Feng Gan then fully understood Wan Qiqi's intentions.

She wanted her to help her deal with Tang Qiwen!

Others might not know that Tang Qiwen wanted to take revenge on Wan Qiqi, but he heard it with his own ears.

Although he didn't know where Tang Qiwen was now, it wasn't hard to see that he was related to Wan Qiqi, but also not related to her.

If we can actually get a share of the restaurant's profits, but suffer losses because of Tang Qiwen, that won't do!

If he wants to get people into the restaurant, he has to agree to Wan Qiqi's request.

Or rather, from the moment he opened his mouth, Wan Qiqi was already plotting against him.

Thinking of this, Feng Gan clenched his molars.

Despite his meticulous planning, he still fell into Wan Qiqi's trap.

However, it was precisely because Wan Qiqi had such a plan that he wanted to come to the restaurant to get a share of the profits.

He cleared his throat and said in a deliberately calm tone, "Who does Tang Qiwen think he is? How dare he touch my brother, Feng Gan's brother!"

Wan Qiqi smiled, raised her wine glass, and said, "Young Master Feng has great courage. May you continue to maintain this spirit in the future."

"When have I ever been a coward?" Feng Gan said arrogantly.

The two raised their glasses and drank together, signifying the completion of their collaboration.

Feng Gan's distant cousin can work at Xinglong Restaurant.

Feng Gan helps Wan Qiqi deal with Tang Qiwen.

The two seemed to be having a pleasant conversation in the private room, but in reality, they were both trying to trap each other.

However, Feng Gan's trap wasn't as big as Wan Qiqi's; instead, he was the one who got tricked.

Wan Qiqi didn't linger and stood up, saying, "What's your younger brother's name? Feng Qing, right? Have him come to me tomorrow to report for duty. It'll be a one-month probationary period. If he performs better than the others, I'll officially let him join the restaurant."

"A month? That long?" Feng Gan seemed a little irritable.

He is certainly short-tempered.

What if Wan Qiqi uses him to ruin Tang Qiwen during the month-long assessment period, and then kicks him aside once the deadline is over? Wouldn't he be at a huge loss?

"No, that's too long!" He slammed his hand on the table and stood up, saying, "Seven days... no, three days, three days for the assessment."

"Three days? Are you sure your brother can learn everything he needs to do in three days without making any mistakes?" Wan Qiqi raised an eyebrow, completely intimidated by Feng Gan's imposing manner.

Feng Gan “…”

He wasn't sure, and even he himself was somewhat doubtful.

"Then seven days!"

"One month, not a single day less," Wan Qiqi said firmly.

Then, she turned and left the private room.

Halfway there, he suddenly stopped and said, "This table is on me today, to celebrate our cooperation. Please enjoy."

Feng Gan cursed and swore at Wan Qiqi's departing figure.

What? She invited you?

The food sent to her home was inedible. This meal should have been paid for by the restaurant, but she had the nerve to say she was treating!

Feng Gan drank several glasses of wine before he could calm down.

After the peak season, the number of diners at the restaurant decreased, but food delivery continued to arrive in droves.

Zhu Chengye was giving instructions to the delivery person when he saw Wan Qiqi come downstairs. There was a hint of worry in her eyes, so he didn't say anything more to the delivery person and walked towards Wan Qiqi.

"Did he make things difficult for you?" Zhu Chengye asked.

Wan Qiqi shook her head, showing some fatigue, and gestured for Zhu Chengye to go to the backyard.

"I'm only making things difficult for you." Wan Qiqi stopped under the eaves, turned to face Zhu Chengye, and said, "He's putting people in the restaurant; it looks to me like he wants to take our place."

She explained Feng Gan's intentions, but did not bring up the matter of cooperation.

Zhu Chengye was somewhat surprised, not expecting Wan Qiqi to be so direct.

He quickly regained his composure and asked, "What are your plans?"

“Once the restaurant is stable, we will also open a branch. If he is serious about doing business, it would be fine to let him invest in opening a branch elsewhere.”

Wan Qiqi wasn't worried about Feng Gan; what she was worried about was that her sharp edge would attract other troubles.

In just over a month since its opening, the restaurant has become famous far and wide, and the reputation of Manager Wan has spread to other towns.
