Chapter 748: Extra 22: The Return of Chen Yi’s Eldest Son, Chen Yue (Part Ten)
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while before Yi’s familiar chuckling ca through, “Alright, I’ll bring the brothers over for so of your fire pot in the next few days. I haven’t had it for a while, indeed I’ve been missing that taste.”
“Good, good, good!!”
Old Huang, his voice trembling with excitent, didn’t dare to delay Yi’s ti any longer, chatted a few sentences about family matters, and then shakily hung up the phone. Afterward, he turned to the old friends beside him with his cheeks flushed with excitent.
“Did you hear that?”
“Did all of you hear that? I’ve told you before, I’m tight with Yi, and you guys are not.”
“Back then, Yi almost ca to eat my fire pot every day, everyone in Yancheng knew about it, only those who ran to play dead in the Sands of Ti Map at the first opportunity didn’t know.”
“Now do you believe ?”
At this mont, Old Huang’s face was full of pride and excitent, his back even straightened up a lot, making him look much younger.
And then.
Only now did these old friends recover from their shock, exchanging glances, all seeing the amazent on each other’s faces. They didn’t expect that Old Huang, who bragged to them every day, actually had such a close friendship with Yi.
“It’s not like that, Old Huang,”
an elder couldn’t help but say, “Since you’re so close to Yi, why not ask him to get you a good job? Why are you hiding here with us, living aimlessly? Not to ntion becoming so big shot, but at least you should have a status in Yancheng, right?”
“With your relationship with Yi, you might even beco the deputy mayor of Yancheng.”
“Hmph,”
Old Huang scoffed disdainfully, “You make it sound like I’m doing terribly. When the ga was still around, I had opened several fire pot restaurants, okay? Even in hell, I opened a few.”
“Back then, there weren’t many who were doing business in both Blue Star and hell at the sa ti, and I was one of them.”
“So, the business wasn’t small.”
“Lastly, when the ga ended, I opened several more fire pot restaurants, started a catering company, and handed it over to my son to manage. Now I already have dozens of fire pot chain stores under my na, okay?”
“As far as I know, the goal for next year is to expand the branches to other races, sending people to investigate the tastes of different Alien Races, preparing to make so adjustnts according to the tastes of each Race.”
“I’m not miserable, so why should I go begging to Yi? Besides, there must be plenty of people seeking Yi’s favor every day. If I bother Yi with such a trivial matter, how would Yi view ?”
“Huh?”
Old Huang, with his hands clasped behind him, leisurely made his way ho with his little bench, ready to start preparing the fire pot base for Yi. At this mont, Old Huang seed to be revitalized, his face free of any lifelessness, his whole being looking incredibly spirited.
…
“Whose call was that?”
Tuberculosis Rabbit casually asked, sitting beside Chen Yi.
After Chen Yi hung up the phone, he looked at the person he hadn’t been in contact with for many years, and also felt sowhat emotional, “The fire pot restaurant owner, the one we used to go to a lot, I have shares in it.”
–
“As far as I know, next year’s goal is to expand the branches to other Races. Right now, people are being sent to research the taste preferences of other Alien Races, preparing to make so adjustnts based on the different tastes of each Race,” he said.
“I’m not doing too badly, so why should I go begging Yi for help? Besides, there are probably tons of people asking Yi for favors every day. If I go to him over sothing trivial like this, what would Yi think of ?”
“Hmm?”
Old Huang walked toward his ho, hands clasped behind his back, carrying his little stool leisurely, preparing to go ho and ready the firepot base for Yi. At this mont, Old Huang seed rejuvenated, his face devoid of any pallor, looking in extrely high spirits.
…
“Whose call was it?”
Tuberculosis Rabbit asked casually, sitting next to Chen Yi.
After Chen Yi hung up, he looked at the person whom he hadn’t been in touch with for many years and said sowhat emotionally, “The owner of the firepot restaurant, the one we always go to eat at, I’ve even invested in it.” There was silence on the other end of the line for a while, before Yi’s familiar light laugh ca through, “Alright, in the next few days I’ll bring the brothers over for a al of your firepot, it’s been a while and I really miss that taste.”
“Good, good, good!!”
Old Huang’s voice trembled with excitent, and he didn’t dare to delay Yi’s ti any longer. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he shakily hung up the phone, then turned to look at the group of old friends next to him, his cheeks flush with excitent.
“Did you hear that?”
“Did you all hear that? I told you before that I’m on good terms with Yi, and you guys aren’t,” he boasted.
“Back then, Yi almost ca every day to eat my firepot. Who in Yancheng didn’t know that? Only those of you who ran off to play dead in the Sands of Ti Map the mont it ca out wouldn’t know,” he taunted.
“Now do you believe ?”
At that mont, Old Huang’s face was full of pride and excitent, his back even straightened out a bit, making him look many years younger.
Just then.
The old friends around him had recovered from their shock, exchanged glances, and saw the astonishnt on each other’s faces. They had not expected Old Huang, who had always bragged to them, to actually have such a strong friendship with Yi.
“It’s not that, Old Huang,” an old man couldn’t help but speak up. “Since you’re so close to Yi, why don’t you ask him to find you a good job? Why hide here and waste away with us? You might not beco so big shot, but at least you’d have so status in Yancheng, right?”
“With your relationship with Yi, you could probably even beco the deputy mayor of Yancheng.”
“Hmph.”
Old Huang scoffed disdainfully, “You make it sound like I’m in a bad situation. When the Ascension ga was still around, I had already opened several firepot restaurants, alright? Even in hell, I opened quite a few.”
“At that ti, there weren’t many people doing business in both Blue Star and hell simultaneously, and I was one of them.”
“That’s not a small business by any ans.”
“After the Ascension ga ended, I opened several more firepot restaurants, established a catering company, and left it to my son to manage. Now, I have dozens of firepot restaurant chains under my na, you know.”
“As far as I know, next year’s goal is to expand the branches to other Races, sending people to investigate the taste preferences of other Alien Races, preparing to make so adjustnts based on the different tastes of each Race,” he continued.
“I’m not doing so badly, so why should I go begging Yi for help? Besides, the number of people asking Yi for favors every day must be overwhelming. If I were to bother Yi for sothing as trivial as this, how would Yi see ?”
“Hmm?”
Old Huang walked toward his ho, hands clasped behind his back, carrying his little stool leisurely, ready to start preparing the firepot base for Yi. At this mont, Old Huang seed rejuvenated, his face devoid of any pallor, looking in extrely high spirits.
…
“Whose call was it?”
Tuberculosis Rabbit asked casually, sitting next to Chen Yi.
And after Chen Yi hung up, looking at the person whom he hadn’t contacted in so many years, he felt sowhat emotional, “The owner of the firepot restaurant, the one we always went to, where I also invested.”
