Zeng Li looked at Shen Fang with great admiration. Her man was so handsome, not only handsome but also kind-hearted. He was simply perfect.
Mei Ting and Hu Jing, standing to the side, also looked at Zeng Li with envy, Mei Ting's envy tinged with a little jealousy.
Qin Hailu gave a thumbs up: "President Shen, you've done a great thing."
Zeng Yu looked at her brother-in-law with admiration; he was amazing.
Following Shen Fang's gesture, Zeng Yu also went on a shopping spree without any restraint. She didn't even look at the price tags when she saw something she liked, since her wealthy brother-in-law was paying for it.
Zeng Li couldn't stop her, so Shen Fang smiled slightly and said, "If Xiaoyu is happy, let her buy it. How much money can she afford? Sister-in-law, buy whatever you want, don't be shy!!!"
Zeng Yu turned her head, her face beaming with excitement: "Thank you, brother-in-law!!!"
Shen Fang then looked at Mei Ting, Qin Hailu, and Hu Jing.
"Take some of whatever you like."
Hu Jing and Mei Ting immediately shook their heads. One was the boss, and the other was her best friend's boyfriend. They wouldn't dare, given Zeng Li's current jealousy.
Qin Hailu, on the other hand, was not polite at all.
She immediately started picking out her favorite items. Just kidding, she was the matchmaker, you know; she played a huge role in bringing the two of them together.
There's no need to be polite with Shen Fang. Besides, she knows her boss isn't the kind of person who just talks the talk; if he tells you to take it, you just take it.
To him, something worth tens of thousands of yuan was no different from something worth a few cents.
In Shen Fang's eyes, money was no different from a string of numbers.
......
"Houlin, over here." Qin Hailu waved to a chubby, fair-skinned man with a smiling face, acting very girlish.
The man walked over.
Qin Hailu then took Li Houlin's hand affectionately: "This is Mei Ting, this is Zeng Li, this is Hu Jing, this is Da Lizi's boyfriend. This is Li Houlin."
Shen Fang glanced at Li Houlin but didn't say anything.
Li Houlin then looked at Hu Jing and Zeng Li beside him, thinking how beautiful they were.
The two were very enthusiastic and wanted to shake hands. Hu Jing was quite generous, but Zeng Li didn't move at all. She just nestled in Shen Fang's arms. She felt that this man was not a good match for Qin Hailu. One look was enough to decide whether he was a good match or not. She found this man a bit annoying.
Li Houlin didn't find it strange and greeted everyone one by one, until he got to Shen Fang's side.
"The young man is quite handsome, is he also an actor?"
Li Houlin figured that Shen Fang's appearance suggested he was probably a minor entertainer or star.
Zeng Li chuckled, and the other girls laughed too.
Shen Fang touched his nose: "I guess so."
Li Houlin was a little confused.
What are you laughing at?
"It's already noon. I'll treat you. It's our first time meeting. I've booked a private room at the Tan Palace. Shall we have lunch together?" Li Houlin said this with great pride. Tan Palace, have you ever been there? It's a gathering place for the powerful and wealthy in the capital. Li Houlin had someone book it a month in advance, just for showing off.
Zeng Li looked at Shen Fang, and Shen Fang nodded.
Li Houlin summoned his newly purchased Mercedes-Benz.
"Oh, I'm sorry, my car can only seat 6 people. Young man, why don't you take a taxi?"
Li Houlin smiled as he looked at Shen Fang. He disliked Shen Fang from the first glance because Shen Fang was more handsome and had prettier girls than him. Being handsome is nothing special. Money is the real power. He was going to give Shen Fang a hard time.
Shen Fang chuckled, said nothing more, and waved to Liu Xing not far away. A Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly drove up.
Shen Fang pulled Zeng Li inside, and Hu Jing and Mei Ting, who were standing nearby, also squeezed in. They were both sensible people; they knew exactly what had happened. Frankly, judging from Li Houlin's actions, he was clearly the kind of person who looked down on others. They couldn't be bothered with him.
? ? ? ? ?
Li Houlin watched as Shen Fang and his group slowly drove away. "Not a Rolls-Royce?! Why?!"
Qin Hailu glared at Li Houlin and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"
Li Houlin gave an awkward smile: "I was just joking with him. Who is this?"
Qin Hailu didn't respond, but opened the car door and got in. Li Houlin followed her, somewhat bewildered.
The capital city is a place where many powerful figures lurk, and just by looking at her, she's clearly not an ordinary person. What if she offends a big shot? Li Houlin wanted to ask Qin Hailu all the way, but Qin Hailu completely ignored him.
At the entrance of the Dan Palace.
Shen Fang and his group were chatting with Liu Xiaoli.
"Aunt Liu, business has been pretty good lately. It's so busy even at midday," Shen Fang said, looking at the customers coming and going.
Liu Xiaoli smiled and said, "Our Tan Palace has spent so much money on renovations that it's unique in Beijing. With its excellent service, complete facilities, and support from the Beijing entertainment circle, it has become a landmark in Beijing. Many TV stations are even thinking of interviewing us and making it into a program."
Shen Fang shook his head: "Let's not turn it into a program. It's better to keep it low-key. Tan Palace was never intended to become a chain store. The original purpose of establishing it was to entertain a friend of mine. Having a place in the capital is enough. Word of mouth is all we need. We don't lack customers, and we don't need to make that kind of money. We must maintain our style."
Liu Xiaoli nodded. She thought so too. Turning it into a chain store would lower its status, which was not what she wanted. Tan Palace was not only a place for dining and entertainment, but also a gathering place for the powerful and wealthy people and business tycoons in the capital. If it were turned into a public restaurant, it would be impossible to attract these people.
