Nanzhi leaned closer and asked, "What are you doing?"
Liu Dezhi: "Lu Ban has studied a new layout and is now asking us to discuss it."
At this point, Liu Dezhi said with a wry smile, "But master, we're good at managing restaurants, but how can we handle such delicate work?"
Lu Ban dragged me here and won't let me leave.
Liu Dezhi was eager to vent all the grievances he had suffered over the past few days.
Nanzhi smiled, knowing they were in a difficult position.
"You all go and attend to your own business."
Liu Dezhi immediately smiled and said, "Yes, thank you, Master."
After saying that, he quickly pulled Fu Zi and Xiao Li San'er away.
Nanzhi shook her head helplessly.
"What are you researching?" Nanzhi asked.
Lu Ban was still as serious as ever, with various patterns scattered haphazardly on the table, which was only wide enough for one person.
Without looking up, Lu Ban said, "Didn't I tell you? There was a problem with the previous design?"
"Where did the problem go wrong?"
Lu Ban turned his head. "Tsk, what's wrong with you?"
"master."
He quickly got up and was about to kneel down.
Nanzhi: "No need for those formalities." Nanzhi helped the person up.
His gaze fell on the blueprints he was studying.
"We have an extra space, but we don't know how to use it?"
Lu Ban looked at Nan Zhi excitedly and said, "Yes, Master."
As expected of the master, he can tell at a glance.
Unlike Liu Dezhi, who's a simpleton and just knows how to brush him off.
"As the master said, there should be a long corridor on the left, a small lake on the right, and a building in the middle, but there is still this area that has not been planned."
Nanzhi looked at it and said, "It can be made into a bar counter."
"A bar?" This was the first time Lu Ban had ever heard of such a thing.
Nanzhi took out a pen and sketched on it, and a simple bar counter appeared on the drawing.
"The bar is used to sell drinks."
Lu Ban's eyes suddenly lit up. "Master, there's also the interior decoration of the room. The large compartments can hold a lot of things, but the small compartments have limited space."
Nanzhi picked up her pen, and a folding table and a bed appeared on the paper.
"Wonderful!" Lu Ban admired what was on the paper.
I never imagined that furniture could be made this way.
"Master, may I become your disciple?"
Nanzhi was flattered and overwhelmed.
“Lu Ban, I can only draw, I don’t know any handicrafts. If you want to learn, you can come to me anytime, but don’t ask me to be your apprentice.”
Lu Ban stood up and said, "Not at all, Master, your brilliant ideas are truly admirable."
Nanzhi spoke a few more words to him, then got up and left.
If we keep chatting, I'm afraid I'll end up taking on another apprentice today.
Nan Zhi came out from the inner room, and Liu Dezhi looked inside.
As expected of the master, he dealt with this troublesome person in no time.
He then began to report on recent events.
"Master, the Juede Restaurant across the street has been making a lot of trouble lately, should we...?"
Nanzhi shook her head and looked at the restaurant across the street. "Simply guarding against it won't solve the problem. Let him in, and we'll deal with it slowly."
Liu Dezhi: "Yes."
With the opening of the No. 1 Restaurant in the world, Ju De Restaurant will become a mere backdrop.
If they want to do something, they can only do it now.
Instead of trying to defend against a tiger, we should let it in and deal with it slowly.

Jude Restaurant.
Chen Yan clung to Chen Quan's legs and cried incessantly.
"Father, the Chen family is finished. You can't abandon your daughter."
She thought that with Chen Tiancai's favor, she would live a good life, but she never expected that the Chen family would be caught by the government.
If he hadn't been quick-witted and decisive, he would be in jail by now.
Chen Quan frowned and clenched his fists.
"waste!"
Chen Yan was stunned; her father had never spoken so harshly to her before.
"If the Chen family falls, there's still the Wang family, the Su family, and the He family. I don't believe they can all fall one by one."
Chen Quan smiled and helped his daughter up. "Don't be afraid. Stay home for now. Dad will find you a good family later."
Chen Yan was led out by her maid while crying.
Chen Quan's face turned cold. "Just like her mother, they're both good-for-nothings."
The butler stepped forward hesitantly, "Master, what should we do now?"
Chen Quan: "If we can't move people here, let people over there do it. All our hard work will be for naught. I want to see how a young girl like her will handle this."
Thinking about his son's situation made Chen Quan even angrier.
His perfectly good son, his successor, was ruined by a woman.
And that wretched woman in the house, she can't even protect her own son.
That night, a furtive figure moved about in the restaurant.
A spark illuminated the scene, and it soon burst into flames.
"Help! There's a fire!"
Nanzhi almost couldn't help but clap her hands as she looked at the burning restaurant across the street.
Liu Dezhi stood behind Nanzhi, his face crinkling with laughter. "Master, the fire is burning brightly; next year will surely be a good year."
Fu Zi added, "That pavilion in our courtyard should have been disposed of a long time ago. Now it's good that someone has taken care of it for us."
Nanzhi smiled: "Old Liu, should we go over and lend a hand?"
“Master, the fire isn’t burning brightly yet. If we go over now, it will hurt you. Let’s go over when it’s a little smaller.”
“That’s true.” Nan Zhi nodded.
The three of them watched the raging fire across the way.
The next morning, the people of the city circled around the two restaurants.
At noon, Liu Dezhi hurriedly walked in.
Nanzhi: "How is it?"
Liu Dezhi said with a smile, "Just as you predicted, everyone now suspects that Juede Restaurant set the fire. You are truly a genius."
