At this moment, Zhuo Jiangyue's pretty face turned cold, and she said to Han Fei in an unfriendly tone, "Han Fei, I will not allow you to insult Gao Yan. Apologize to him immediately!"
"Why should I!"
Faced with Zhuo Jiangyue's rebuke, Han Fei's anger surged, and he felt a deep sense of resentment. He pointed at Gao Yan and asked, "Zhuo Jiangyue, tell me, what does he have that I can compare to? Why did you have to pick such a poor loser of all people!"
To be honest, before obtaining the system, Gao Yan was inferior to Han Fei in terms of family background, appearance, and wealth.
Even now, despite Gao Yan's improved appearance through stat-boosting, he still lags behind Han Fei in some respects.
Hearing Han Fei belittle Gao Yan, Zhuo Jiangyue was furious. She said angrily, "Han Fei, listen to me! In my eyes, Gao Yan is the best. He's better than you in every way. So, you don't need to waste your time. Gao Yan, let's go. I don't want to see this kind of person again!"
"good!"
Gao Yan nodded; he hadn't expected Han Fei to behave so poorly.
Just then.
Cheng Hao walked out of the store and shouted, "Brother Yan, this is not right of you. As a shareholder of our hot pot restaurant, it's one thing if you don't come here usually, but today you came and didn't even come in. This is a bit unreasonable!"
At this point, Cheng Hao greeted Zhuo Jiangyue again, saying, "Hello, sister-in-law."
Zhuo Jiangyue smiled shyly at Cheng Hao.
Han Fei and Xie Tao found Cheng Hao's words somewhat unbelievable.
Although Brothers Hot Pot Restaurant has only been in Nandu for a few weeks, under Cheng Hao's management, it has not only become famous throughout Nandu City, but also gained some fame in Yangdong Province.
Moreover, Cheng Hao also hired many people to write numerous advertorials and post them online.
Subsequently, online celebrities came to the store intermittently to check in.
Seeing the good traffic, other internet celebrities followed suit.
Therefore, the Brothers Hot Pot restaurant has now become a popular spot for internet celebrities to check in.
Han Fei chose to eat at Brothers Hot Pot Restaurant, which can be considered a place he came because of its reputation.
But to everyone's surprise, Fang Yan was actually a shareholder of the store.
At this moment, Xie Tao, who had been watching the commotion, came up and asked curiously, "Gao Yan, are you really a shareholder of this store?"
"Yes, the owner of this shop, Cheng Hao, is my classmate, so I own a small share!"
Gao Yan didn't want to use this to show off.
But Cheng Hao said with a wicked grin, "Brother Yan, you're being too modest. You own 30% of our hot pot restaurant, so how can you call yourself a minority shareholder? Besides, our hot pot broth is made by you. Without you, there would be no Brothers Hot Pot Restaurant!"
Hearing Cheng Hao's words, Xie Tao couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. Although he didn't know how much profit a hot pot restaurant could make, he could tell from the popularity of the restaurant that it was quite normal.
Gao Yan owns 30% of this hot pot restaurant, so he should earn at least 200,000 to 300,000 yuan a month.
After a year, the dividends would amount to two or three million.
Then look at Han Fei, although he bought a BMW X3.
But he got his money from his family.
One is a first-generation rich kid, and the other is a second-generation rich kid.
The difference in quality is immediately apparent.
No wonder Zhuo Jiangyue chose Gao Yan.
As for Han Fei, his face was very ugly at the moment. He smashed the flowers in his hand on the ground and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Xie Tao hesitated for a moment, then said to Gao Yan, "Gao Yan, Zhuo Jiangyue, I'm sorry, I didn't know you two were together. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made that call. I'll be going now, let's get together again this summer!"
After explaining, Xie Tao chased after Han Fei. Although Gao Yan was now more powerful than Han Fei, he had no connection with Gao Yan. Moreover, they didn't even study in the same city, so even if he wanted to curry favor, he wouldn't have the chance.
However, not wanting to offend Gao Yan, he made a special explanation to distance himself from the matter.
"Okay, let's meet again during summer vacation!"
Gao Yan nodded in response.
"Brother Yan, how was my cooperation?"
Cheng Hao proudly took credit.
Gao Yan rolled his eyes at him: "Alright, stop joking around. Are there any seats left in the store?"
"Yes, those two boys had booked a private room. Now that they've left, it's perfect for you and your sister-in-law to use!"
A short while later, the three of them arrived at a small private room on the second floor.
Ordering food was handled directly by Cheng Hao, without Gao Yan having to worry about it.
Cheng Hao ate with them for a while, but hesitated several times before speaking.
"What's up?"
Having known Cheng Hao for two years, he naturally understood him very well, and could tell from his expression that something was wrong!
"Brother Yan, our hot pot restaurant is doing better and better. This week, the daily turnover has reached 300,000 yuan. The two branches are almost finished with renovations. So, our hot pot restaurant has great potential. Are you really not going to continue investing?"
"Haozi, I've already explained this clearly enough last time, so you don't need to try to persuade me anymore!" Gao Yan waved his hand and said.
"All right!"
Cheng Hao was somewhat downcast.
Not long after, Cheng Hao left the private room, as he had something to take care of at the store.
"Gao Yan, the hot pot restaurant is doing so well, the branch stores will definitely be just as good. Why don't you invest in it?" Zhuo Jiangyue asked, somewhat puzzled.
Gao Yan thought for a moment and said, "I sold the hot pot base recipe to Cheng Hao for 500,000 yuan, but Cheng Hao later gave me 30% of the shares."
Cheng Hao might not care, but his family had their opinions. "Remember Tang Ye?"
"Yes!" Zhuo Jiangyue nodded.
Gao Yan continued, "She is Cheng Hao's cousin. When the hot pot restaurant opened last time, she talked to me privately, compensated me with 1.5 million yuan, and signed a supplementary recipe transfer agreement."
