Chapter 126: Chapter 118: The One Million Reward! (Double Release)
"Inviting a friend over for a meal, has the table in the corner been booked?"
"No." Old Feng shook his head, "Come on, I’ll clean it up for you."
The two went to the corner and sat down. As Old Feng cleaned the table, he said, "We have money in the account now, I’m planning to give you a share at the end of the month. If you need money, just say the word."
Qi Yun took out a cigarette, handed him one, lit it, and after taking a puff, shook his head and said, "I’ve still got money."
Old Feng accepted the cigarette, lit it, took a deep puff, and slowly blew out smoke rings: "Alright, there’s one more thing, I’m planning to discuss with you."
"What thing? Just say it." Qi Yun looked at him and asked.
Old Feng glanced around the shop and said, "Look, business is pretty good now. You’ve brought in advertising resources. Shouldn’t we consider expanding a bit?"
Qi Yun chuckled at this: "You can make the decision on that. If we’re short on money, I’ll chip in some more."
Old Feng waved his hand: "It’s not about money, this shop is a business between the three of us, I need to consult with you two first."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yun nodded, his expression becoming more serious: "I agree with the idea of expanding. Business is getting better day by day, and with more advertising, we can expect more customers. The place is really becoming a bit too small."
"As for how to expand, you need to make the decision, as you have more experience."
Old Feng patted his arm upon hearing this: "Okay, Brother Peng has the same thoughts as you. I’ll think it over thoroughly tonight."
As they were talking, Zhang Dayong came in through the door.
Qi Yun quickly waved at him, and seeing the gesture, Zhang Dayong walked over.
"Director Zhang, is having hotpot okay?" Qi Yun stood up to greet him.
"Sure." Zhang Dayong smiled, "I like it a lot. This place is nice, the aroma is delicious."
Qi Yun felt relieved, and with a smile, introduced to Old Feng: "Old Feng, this is Director Zhang."
"Director Zhang, this is Old Feng, my friend. He’s the owner of this hotpot place."
Upon hearing this, Old Feng enthusiastically extended his hand: "Director Zhang, hello, hello, welcome to our little shop."
Zhang Dayong shook hands with Old Feng, smiling: "Boss Feng, with business this good, the taste must be great. I’ll be coming more often."
Old Feng replied eagerly: "Director Zhang, hearing you say that makes me really happy. From now on, when you come to the shop, think of it as coming back home. I’ll take good care of you."
"Hahaha, great!"
After a few brief exchanges, Old Feng went to instruct the kitchen to serve food.
Qi Yun picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Zhang Dayong, starting a casual conversation.
"Director Zhang, did you come to Bird City alone?"
Zhang Dayong picked up the cup, sipped lightly, and nodded slightly: "Yes, my wife can’t leave work, and the kids have to go to school."
Qi Yun nodded in understanding: "Director Zhang, that’s pretty tough on you."
As they were chatting, suddenly someone came over and greeted Zhang Dayong: "Director Zhang, didn’t expect to meet you here."
Zhang Dayong turned to look at the newcomer, slightly surprised, quickly recalling inside his mind.
He had just taken up the position for two or three days, so many faces weren’t too familiar yet.
"You’re Ma Baoguo from Red Star Street Police Station, right."
The person looked pleasantly surprised, nodding repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Director Zhang, I’m Ma Baoguo from Red Star Street Police Station. It’s such a coincidence to meet you here." As he spoke, his gaze curiously swept over Qi Yun.
Zhang Dayong noticed the gaze but didn’t intend to introduce him, just smiled and responded: "Alright, I’m just having a meal with a friend, we can talk later."
Upon hearing this, Ma Baoguo quickly replied considerately: "Okay, Director Zhang, then I won’t disturb your meal with your friend. When you’re free, I’ll report on work issues to you."
He finished speaking and politely nodded to Qi Yun before turning to leave.
PS: There’s one more Chapter, but it may be a bit late.
