At this moment, Chen Daoming came over to offer a toast.
"Thanks a lot, guys, for supporting me today."
Feng Kuzi flashed his big buck teeth: "Daoming, you're really showing off today, wow, what a spectacle!"
Chen Daoming's smile never faded.
"It was all arranged by Shen Fang. My role as his mentor was actually just a pretext for this kid to promote him."
Feng Kuzi pointed to Chen Fang, who was toasting Wang Hui.
"Daoming, just who is your apprentice? Goodness, the people sitting at table number 1 are no ordinary people, they're all big shots."
Chen Daoming shook his head: "I really don't know. It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I really don't know. Anyway, my apprentice is very rich. Just now he told me to contact his investment team if I had any spare money. He has invested at least several hundred million in the stock market."
As soon as Chen Daoming spoke.
The people at table number 2 were completely stunned!
"Wow, that's hundreds of millions. Does Daoming's apprentice's family own a gold mine?"
"Who knows? I can't ask him if he doesn't tell me. Anyway, my precious apprentice is very rich."
Zhang Guoli said enviously, "Daoming, you'd better take good care of your master-disciple relationship. As the saying goes, a beloved disciple is better than a biological child. In the past, disciples would take care of you in your old age. With such a wealthy person, your later years will be secure."
Wang Gang nodded and said, "That's right. According to our old rules, it's true. Shen Fang is closer to Liu Qianqian than your daughter. Old Chen, you have to protect her well. She's your only hope."
Chen Daoming stared at the two of them speechlessly.
"From what you're saying, my old age is bound to be miserable and I'll need someone to take care of me. Besides, I don't care whether my apprentices are filial or not."
Zhang Guoli joked, "We're just teasing you, but they really put in the effort. Old Chen's entourage and grand gift today are unprecedented in our circle. It'll definitely be all over the news tomorrow."
“Old Chen, if you have any good opportunities in the future, remember to think of us old brothers. Your apprentice is clearly going to make a name for himself in the industry, so if you find a suitable role, remember to think of us.”
Chen Daoming nodded: "When I have a chance to speak, I will definitely not refuse, but you all know that I am not the kind of person who likes to interrupt."
Chen Daoming wouldn't agree to anything rashly. Shen Fang's money was his own, and although he was Shen Fang's master, he couldn't just take advantage of his seniority.
Table 18.
"Damn, making such a big show of becoming an apprentice, what is this? What's with the show-off?"
Upon hearing Wang Xiaofei's outrageous remarks, Chen Lan slapped him on the back of the head.
"Are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about? If this gets out, it will put us at odds with the circles behind Shen Fang and Chen Daoming."
Wang Zehan stared at Chen Lan.
"Xiao Fei has learned so much from you!!!"
Wang Zehan was furious.
Chen Lan looked at Wang Xiaofei speechlessly.
"Don't you have any common sense? Can't you see what's going on today? How could I have given birth to such an idiot like you?"
Wang Xiaofei retorted indignantly, "What's wrong with me? Can't I say a few words?"
Chen Lan was speechless. She was at her wit's end with her foolish son. He was such a hothead; she had protected him too much. She had disciplined him several times, but he still didn't know his own limitations.
If you don't like it, why do you say it out loud?
Just as Wang Zehan was about to lose his temper, Qin Tianle stopped him.
"Xiaofei, they're just setting up a flag today. Do you think they're making such a big show to flaunt their wealth? They're just flexing their muscles."
Wang Xiaofei scoffed.
"So what if he has a little money? What's so great about that? Can he be as rich as my dad?"
When Wang Zehan heard his son's words, he felt proud but also thought that Wang Xiaofei was really a bit stupid.
“Xiaofei, my money can’t be put in the open; it’s done through underhanded means. But Shen Fang is different. And do you think Shen Fang is simple? How much do you know about him? Which woman at table number 1 is richer than your father?”
Wang Xiaofei was taken aback upon hearing this.
Which one?
Seeing Wang Xiaofei stand up and look around, Chen Lan quickly pulled her mentally challenged son back down to sit.
"Brother Han, Shen Fang asked for 800 million this time, and it seems he won't lower the price. I've found out that Shen Fang is currently very wealthy and has plenty of cash flow. Whether or not he sells South Beauty is not important to him at all. Moreover, South Beauty is a high-quality asset now. If we want to take control, we must pay an additional 400 million to buy the remaining shares."
Wang Jinhan looked at Chen Lan: "Are you confident?"
Chen Lan nodded: "As long as I gain control, I am confident that I can become number one in the catering industry within 5 years."
Wang Zehan nodded: "Help me arrange a meeting with Chen Fang. This needs to be resolved quickly. Baring Asia has not gained any advantage under his control. If we drag this out any longer, he may raise the price again."
Chen Lan was delighted and nodded, saying, "After the banquet, I will arrange a meeting between you and Shen Fang."
......
Liu Shishi and Liu Qianqian, two food-loving friends, were enjoying their meal. While savoring the food, Liu Qianqian looked at Liu Shishi with a hint of resentment. Her best friend was about to steal Shen Fang away from her. Although she knew it wasn't Liu Shishi's fault, it was all Shen Fang's fault for being too greedy.
Liu Qianqian invited Liu Shishi over this time to test her and see if she was really a scheming, manipulative woman. However, after several attempts, she found that Liu Shishi was even more foolish and naive than herself, and all she knew was to eat, eat, eat.
She didn't think about anything else, she was so innocent. After recently watching a lot of Qing Dynasty dramas, Liu Qianqian's intelligence soared and she almost mastered the art of tea appreciation. She originally thought that if Liu Shishi was the kind of person who was pretending and deliberately getting close to Shen Fang to compete for favor with her, she would use palace intrigue to make Liu Shishi out of the game. But now she saw that Liu Shishi was a cute and silly girl with no threat at all.
