227: Chapter 227 Soone Has Taken a Liking to Huaxi Shuixiang 227: Chapter 227 Soone Has Taken a Liking to Huaxi Shuixiang After sending off their friends, Peter Brown stayed at the restaurant after seeking leave from Ella Johnson, as Heidi Jones had sothing to discuss with him.
Ella Johnson, after knowing Peter’s situation, waved her hand and said, “Rember to return to school tomorrow morning and leave with soone.”
Sitting in a room, Heidi and her brother Caden sat across from Peter.
Caden had behaved well today, sitting there with great respect.
“Peter, today I took David to see a land not far from the city.
It’s a nice piece of real estate but a bit more expensive than most.
It’s a suitable place for farming and breeding,” Heidi said.
Peter didn’t care about the location.
For him, as long as he set up a Spiritual Gathering Array, any place could beco a good one.
“Alright, you can lease it and we’ll expand there.”
Looking at Caden, he said, “How about you take charge of that place?”
Today, Peter noticed that Caden’s blonde hair had been dyed black, his haircut now a buzzcut, and his overall appearance more steady.
“Peter, from now on, I will follow you and work for you,” Caden said.
After realizing that he was inferior to Peter in every aspect, Caden began to admire him.
“Alright, lease the land, then fence it off and divide it as needed.
Planting and breeding must be separate.
One of our goals for this land is to supply this restaurant.
It’s enough to only expand a little bit, there’s no need to make it too big.”
Heidi nodded, “I can handle it.
There’s still money left for the restaurant, more than enough.”
After discussing this matter, Caden, an interesting person, quickly said, “Sister, brother-in-law, you guys chat.
I’ll leave first.”
Having said that, he left the room.
Watching Caden leave, Heidi’s face suddenly turned red and she whispered, “That’s just how my brother is, don’t be bothered by it.”
Peter smiled and said, “Caden is straightforward.
As long as he’s properly guided, he does have developnt potential.”
“He’s listening to you now, so help him out.”
As they spoke, Heidi poured so hot water for Peter.
After doing so, she looked at him and said, “Peter, there’s sothing I need to tell you.”
Seeing Heidi’s serious expression, Peter also adjusted his deanor and asked, “You wanted to stay back to talk about this matter?”
“Yes, if this issue isn’t handled well, I feel the restaurant won’t be able to continue operating.”
What kind of situation is this?
Peter couldn’t help but take it seriously.
“You see, there was a recent adjustnt in our province, weren’t they?
The second-in-command was transferred from Kingston.”
Peter was aware of this.
This number two person, nad Jalen Smith, apparently had so connections.
“Does he have anything to do with our restaurant?”
“Not his business, but his son’s.
Jalen has a son nad Joseph Smith, and he’s been very active recently.”
Peter began to understand.
It seed that Joseph Smith had his sights on the restaurant.
“Peter, since Joseph arrived, he hasn’t gotten along with Edward Martin.
He knew Edward was protecting the restaurant, but didn’t say anything at the ti.
Now, since Edward’s death, Joseph said that whether or not the restaurant could stay open was his call.
This morning, people from the Tax Departnt and Health Departnt ca to inspect, and I feel like Joseph was the one orchestrating it.
These kind of inspections wouldn’t have happened when Edward was still around.”
Peter nodded in agreent.
From what Heidi said, the situation was indeed serious.
It seems like they need to find soone else who can cover for them.
Thinking about it, Peter considered Jalen Smith’s background and picked up his cellphone to call Adonis Harrison.
Adonis Harrison was happy when he received Peter’s call, “Peter, what’s up?
What made you call ?”
“Adonis, I have a question.
After the adjustnt of the leaders in our province, didn’t a new number two arrive?
I want to know about his background?”
“What happened?” Adonis knew that Peter wouldn’t call for nothing, so he asked eagerly.
“It’s nothing too serious.
It’s just his son is targeting one of my restaurants.
I want to know his background to be prepared.”
“I see, haha, I thought it was sothing big.
You must not know, right?
This number two in your province is Jalen Smith, right?
Actually, he is from the Smith Family and is David Smith’s brother.”
David Smith’s brother?
Peter didn’t expect that.
However, considering the fact that cultivators often looked young, Peter understood why Jalen Smith was David Smith’s brother.
“Is Jalen Smith a cultivator as well?” Peter asked.
“I know sothing about this.
The Smith Family is divided into two categories.
One is like David Smith, who can cultivate to a higher level.
They’re the absolute power faction in the Smith Family.
The others are people like Jalen Smith, who lack the talent and can’t cultivate higher.
The Smith Family arranged for them to mix in the secular officialdom and business world.”
So that’s how it is!
Peter now had a better understanding of the situation.
Adonis said, “This is a trivial matter, don’t worry.
I’ll call David and let him know about it.
Daring to ss with you ans they’re tired of living!”
“Alright, thanks for the help.”
After learning that it was soone from the Smith Family, Peter felt reassured.
David Smith owed his life to Peter, so knowing this, Peter thought that with the support of the Smith Family, he would have added protection in the province.
“Peter, what’s going on?”
After Peter finished the phone call, Heidi asked with concern.
She couldn’t help but feel anxious about the situation since the restaurant in the city represented her life’s work.
If it suddenly collapsed, she didn’t know what would happen.
“It’s nothing.
They’re acquaintances, and the issue will be resolved soon.”
Peter also felt relieved.
Hearing that Peter could resolve the issue, Heidi’s worries were eased, and she revealed a smile, “Peter, you’ve changed so much that sotis I feel like I don’t recognize you.”
Peter smiled and said, “I’m still the sa old .”
“My brother calls you brother-in-law now.
What should we do about this?” Suddenly, Heidi changed the subject and looked at Peter with a teasing smile.
Peter originally wanted to say sothing, but seeing Heidi’s expression, he sighed internally, realizing that she intended to bring up the matter openly.
Peter knew Heidi’s intentions, and if this matter wasn’t handled properly, more problems could arise.
