At this point, even though Chi Tao was unwilling to accept defeat, he knew he was powerless to turn the tide.
Duan Jian continued, "Boss Li, although our reputation isn't as great as Feng Haidong's restaurant right now, Feng Haidong's restaurant can't possibly cater to all the people in the city, so our restaurant can still continue operating."
Li Shitong said, "Yes, we can continue to run it. I plan to hand this restaurant over to you fellow apprentices and my brother-in-law in the future."
Duan Jian was somewhat surprised upon hearing this: "Mr. Li, are you going to withdraw your investment?"
Li Shitong said, "No, I'm not withdrawing my investment. It's just that I'm handing this shop over to you from now on. I don't want any of the profits. You brothers will take 70%, and my brother-in-law will take the remaining 30%. From now on, this shop will be yours."
Duan Jian and Chi Tao were both surprised to hear Li Shitong's arrangement.

Duan Jian felt somewhat uncomfortable because, according to Li Shitong, he needed to contribute his own share to his junior brother Chi Tao.
But now that Li Shitong has given up on even the initial investment, Duan Jian naturally can't ask for anything more.
