Chapter 558 Feng Gan Explores the Drunken River Pavilion
At this point, Wan Qiqi suddenly poured Feng Gan a cup of tea.
There's a saying that perfectly describes you right now: "A scholar who has been away for three days should be viewed with new respect."
Feng Gan: "..."
Then, realizing what he'd said, he snapped, "You mean I was stupid before?"
Wan Qiqi shrugged and poured herself a cup of tea, looking like she was saying, "I didn't say that."
Feng Gan was somewhat embarrassed. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word that could turn the tables on Wan Qiqi.
His face turned somewhat ugly with anger. He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then slowly said, "Let's talk about Tang Qiwen! Although we don't know what he'll do yet, there's no escaping it—he'll definitely take some action."
Feng Gan remembered clearly everything Tang Qiwen said when he was drunk.
They lifted Wan Qiqi to the highest point, then pulled her down from that height, causing her excruciating pain and shattering her to pieces, leaving her unable to rise again.
Feng Gan had to admit that doing this felt great and very satisfying.
But now he and Wan Qiqi are in the same boat. If Wan Qiqi's boat capsizes, he will capsize with her.
It seems that Tang Qiwen is on the opposite side of him, and he will never allow Tang Qiwen to bring Wan Qiqi down!
Wan Qiqi nodded, and was about to suggest finding a few clever people to keep an eye on things, but Feng Gan beat her to it.
"I've already sent people to keep an eye on things!" Feng Gan said, a smug look on his face, as if he were proud that he had just learned about Wan Qiqi's next move.
Wan Qiqi glanced at him and said, "If we do both overt and covert surveillance, we can keep an eye on him for a few days and then leave, while we can leave the covert surveillance behind to lower his guard."
"Find some beggars, give them some benefits and they'll help you keep an eye on things. You can also find someone to pretend to be a street vendor. Don't get too close to them, lest they notice. Only report serious matters."
Feng Gan listened intently as if he were being lectured, then said, "Are you assigning me tasks?"
Wan Qiqi looked at him and said solemnly, "You are now practically the owner of Xinglong Restaurant, so you'll have to be even more attentive than before. Thank you for your help!"
Seeing how serious Wan Qiqi was, Feng Gan felt a little embarrassed and patted his chest to assure her, "Trust me, I guarantee I'll handle it perfectly for you!"
Wan Qiqi was very satisfied with this.
Sure enough, if you want to win people's hearts, you have to learn from Zhu Chengye's methods and learn how to brainwash people.
Then, Feng Gan added, "There's one more thing. Something about Zuijianglou feels off to me."
"They became wary. In business, there will always be unpleasant moments; you just have to deal with whatever comes your way," Wan Qiqi said casually, as if it were nothing serious.
Feng Gan looked at Wan Qiqi suspiciously, wondering if she had no other choice or was lying to him.
His words had just exhausted all his intelligence; at this moment, he didn't want to say anything more, afraid of being tricked by Wan Qiqi.
He waited quietly until the teapot was empty before leaving Xinglong Restaurant.
After leaving the restaurant, Feng Gan glanced back at Xinglong Restaurant, while Wan Qiqi's words echoed in his ears.
"You're practically a part-time employer now..."
Along the way, turning left and right, Feng Gan unknowingly arrived at the entrance of Zuijiang Tower.
In the past, Zuijianglou Restaurant didn't need any staff to attract customers, and there would be many people coming and going. But now it seems rather deserted.
A waiter was standing at the door, looking rather downcast, and he didn't even notice the important customer standing there.
"Young master, do you want to go in and have some snacks?" Afu asked with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He then added, "Young master, our own restaurant has snacks, why waste money coming here?"
Feng Gan had just formed a plan in his mind when he was interrupted by his attendant, and for a moment he couldn't recall it.
He glared at Afu with displeasure, muttering, "Stupid! Utterly idiotic! How can someone as stupid as you exist? Following me is really lowering my intelligence..."
Ah Fu was just telling the truth, not wanting to be constantly scolded by his young master, so he showed a wronged expression.
Soon, Feng Gan had a new idea. He flicked his sleeves, put his hands on his hips, and said, "Today I'm going to investigate Zuijianglou and see what they're up to."
After he finished speaking, he walked towards Zuijiang Tower.
Afu hurriedly followed, but after taking only a few steps, he bumped into Feng Gan. He quickly bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Young master, I didn't mean to."
Feng Gan turned and glanced at Afu, his face full of annoyance, and said, "You, just wait at the door. I'll go by myself, so you won't ruin my plans, you stupid thing!"
As he spoke, he walked into Zuijiang Tower.
Afu wanted to follow, but as soon as he lifted his foot, Feng Gan turned around and glared at him, which startled him so much that he immediately took two steps back.
He was afraid that something might happen to his master if he went in alone, but he dared not disobey his master's orders. He was so anxious that he stomped his feet on the spot, thinking about how his master would punish him if something happened to his master.
The first floor of Zuijiang Tower.
A cook stood by the counter, discussing the cost of the restaurant's dim sum with the accountant of Zuijianglou, including the dim sum recipes.
"Young Master Feng, please take your time..."
Then came the call of the waiter, interrupting the cook and the accountant's discussion.
Feng Gan was also slightly embarrassed, realizing that he seemed to have heard something he shouldn't have.
Then he thought, since they hadn't said anything since he came in, there shouldn't be any problem. He turned to the waiter and said, "Is the private room I usually request still available? Please serve me tea and snacks as usual."
The waiter looked troubled, as if he wanted to say something, but hesitated to speak.
Feng Gan was left standing in the hall, creating a slightly awkward atmosphere.
At this moment, Manager Lü hurried over from the backyard, smiling, and said, "Young Master Feng, what brings you here today? Isn't the restaurant busy?"
