By mid-October, business at Feng Haidong's restaurant had actually gotten even better.
Feng Haidong has added spicy crab and various grilled skewers to his grilled fish, which have become a popular signature dish among many customers.
Feng Haidong also noticed that the restaurant would start to get customers one after another every evening.
Most of the guests who arrived in the evening were dressed in suits and ties, and it was clear that many of them were wearing designer clothes that they had bought specifically for the occasion.
These customers come every day and are very willing to eat whatever they want, whether it's grilled fish, spicy crab, or various kinds of skewers. Even when Feng Haidong tells them in advance that the price of fish has gone up that day, these customers still don't care at all.
Feng Haidong couldn't help but feel a little curious.
What exactly do these regular customers do?
The answer was quickly revealed to Feng Haidong when his brother-in-law, Lu Yaorong, and Mei Yaqin led a group of people to a restaurant to eat grilled fish and spicy crab.
It turns out that these people were all stock market investors, and the stock market had seen a surge starting in mid-October.
Many people have made a lot of money from stocks.
Some of them are lucky; they might even make a lot of money the day after entering the stock market.
Because they can make money almost every day in the stock market, these people are naturally very willing to spend money on food and drink.
And after the National Day holiday, who in the city wouldn't know about Feng Haidong's restaurant?
While keeping an eye on the stock market, these people also chat about interesting anecdotes from the city.
Whenever food is mentioned, people will naturally start talking about Feng Haidong's restaurant, "Haihexian".
Since we were already on the topic, after the stock market closed, everyone looked at the money they had made that day, happily found a place to have tea and chat for a while, and when it was time for dinner in the evening, they naturally and unanimously chose to eat at Feng Haidong's restaurant.
Today, Lu Yaorong and Mei Yaqin brought along friends they met in the stock market to have dinner at Feng Haidong's restaurant.
As soon as Mei Yaqin entered, she introduced the restaurant to everyone: "You all talk about this restaurant called 'Haihexian' every day. Do you know why Yaorong and I don't talk to you about it? It's because the owner of this restaurant is Yaorong's brother-in-law, my sister's husband."
Those who came with him were all surprised to hear this.
Really?
"Sister Mei, Yaorong, is this restaurant really owned by your relatives?"
"No wonder Sister Mei and Yaorong are so good at stock trading, you must have a master in your family."
"How can you talk like that? It's obvious that everyone in their family is highly skilled, and Yaqin and Yaorong are highly skilled as well."
"Ah, right, right, Brother Zhao is right after all."
Hearing what everyone was saying, Mei Yaqin smiled proudly and said to Lu Yaorong, "Yaorong, go and call your brother-in-law. Tonight, bring us two grilled fish, both sea bass, and they have to be big. Also, bring us a spicy crab, and some of his lamb skewers too."
Lu Yaorong said with a smile, "Sister Mei, let's go in first. Once we're inside, your brother-in-law will definitely come out to greet you. If it were me, my brother-in-law might not come out to greet me, but since you're here, he definitely will."
Before the group even entered, Feng Haidong, who hadn't yet gone to the kitchen, came out to greet them.
"Yaorong, you're wrong. Sister Mei is here, how can I wait for her to come in? I definitely have to come out and greet her myself."
Seeing Feng Haidong come out to greet her, Mei Yaqin smiled and said, "Look, isn't my brother-in-law giving me a lot of face?"
The others who came with him all stepped forward to greet Feng Haidong.
"Hello boss, your grilled fish tastes really good. I brought my family here to eat during the National Day holiday, and my son has been wanting to eat it ever since."
Feng Haidong smiled and said, "You're welcome to bring your son to eat here again."
"Boss Feng, your restaurant is now famous throughout the city. We hear people talking about it every day."
Feng Haidong said, "It's all thanks to everyone's support. Actually, the taste is just so-so. My grilled fish isn't exactly authentic, but I can guarantee that locals will like it."
"Yaqin and Yaorong really weren't lying to us. You really are relatives. Your family is really amazing."
Feng Haidong looked at the eldest brother who spoke last and said with a smile, "Brother, you flatter me. I'm just a small business owner. I can't compare to Sister Mei and Yaorong, nor can I compare to everyone else."
One of the people who came with us said with a smile, "We're all actually in business, but we're a bit bigger in the stock market. Everyone here makes thousands or tens of thousands a day."
Feng Haidong nodded and said, "That's right, we're all in business. My restaurant is just a small business, it can't compare to the thousands or tens of thousands you make in the stock market every day."
Mei Yaqin smiled and said, "Haidong, you're too modest. Your restaurant must make a lot of money every day."
Feng Haidong replied, "Sister Mei, you know, this is all hard-earned money."
Mei Yaqin said, "It must be very tiring. Wanling hasn't come back yet?"
Feng Haidong nodded and said, "Yes, she left right after the National Day holiday. Sister Mei, you work at the company, so you should know more about Wanling's situation than I do, right?"
Mei Yaqin said, "Haidong, don't worry. I asked Lao Ding, and he said that Wanling was sent to the south, so she won't be back until the end of the year. I even had a fight with Lao Ding about this. Lao Ding assured me that Wanling is safe there and that it won't be too hard for her. You two will be able to reunite by the end of the year."
After hearing Mei Yaqin's words, Feng Haidong couldn't help but feel grateful to Ding Huaixiao for helping to cover it up.
On the surface, Feng Haidong could only helplessly say, "It's nothing, it's all for work."
Mei Yaqin said, "Yes, yes, it's all for work. Haidong, your restaurant is doing better and better. Before long, you'll become a big boss. When that happens, you might as well let Wanling come back and be the boss's wife."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yaorong immediately said, "That's right, brother-in-law, your business is doing so well, why don't you just let my sister quit her job and come home from work?"
When Feng Haidong heard Mei Yaqin and Lu Yaorong's words, he just smiled and said, "For my small business, I'll let Sister Yaorong continue working for now. If the business really grows, I'll let her go home. Besides, she can't stay idle at home, so it's better to let her work for now."
After saying this, Feng Haidong called out to everyone, "Alright, alright, come on in."
However, before entering, Feng Haidong still asked everyone to choose fish and crabs, and weighed them in front of everyone.
Upon seeing this, the group chuckled and said there was no need to keep an eye on him. They trusted Feng Haidong's character, and besides, they had already made money in the stock market, so they didn't care about a little more or less.
After Feng Haidong and his brother-in-law, along with Mei Yaqin and her group, went inside, he carried the fish and crabs and watched as more people came into the restaurant.
Only then did he finally realize that it seemed to be a major bull market in the stock market.
This bull market will reach its real peak in November.
Thinking about this, Feng Haidong couldn't help but wonder if he should also go in and make a fortune.
However, Feng Haidong quickly abandoned the idea of investing money in the stock market. He decided to focus his energy on his business and did not want to be distracted by investing money in the stock market.
Running his restaurant well makes Feng Haidong feel more at ease.
