Wang Qiang was somewhat stunned by Zhou Chao’s decisive words and took a moment to regain his composure. He looked at Zhou Chao, who appeared calm, and asked, “May I inquire about your purpose for investing in my restaurant?”

Zhou Chao smiled directly at Guo Yan, who was beside him, and nodded slightly, saying, “My sister here loves your crayfish, and she’ll be attending university in Star City in the coming years. This is also to make it convenient for her to come and enjoy crayfish in the future.”

“Ah, I see,¹¹ Wang Qiang hadn’t expected such a reason after considering various possibilities. Although he wasn’t sure if it was true or not, he didn’t want to miss this expansion opportunity, especially when it was a prime time to seize the market.

“I don’t know what you think.”

“It’s acceptable, but the part about not being involved in management needs to be written into the contract! ” With this six million in cash, he could immediately open two crayfish restaurants of the same quality elsewhere. Coupled with his own reputation, it would surely be a better venture.

“No problem, you can contact a lawyer now. If you don’t have connections, I can arrange one for you. Also, give me your account number, and I’ll transfer the money to you.”

“You’re not afraid that I won’t acknowledge the transfer?”

Wang Qiang’s words made everyone in the private room, including Zhou Chao, laugh.

Just as he was puzzled and uncertain, he met Zhou Chao s deep gaze, and his whole body froze. From that look, Wang Qiang could tell that if he really didn’t acknowledge the transfer, his future would be quite miserable.

“Please wait a moment, I’ll contact my friend to come over. As for the transfer, we can discuss it after the contract is signed.”

“Alright, go ahead and contact them. Also, ask the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes with different crayfish flavors.”

Wang Qiang came and left quickly. In less than ten minutes in the private room, although he had some doubts about the authenticity of the situation initially, Zhou Chao’s behavior and the spariding watch on his wrist had long dispelled any doubts.

“Brother, are you really planning to invest in this crayfish restaurant?” Guo Yan, who had received confirmation, was already beaming with excitement and couldn’t help but confirm again.

“Yeah, since you like it, feel free to come over when you have time. Bring your friends along too.”

“Haha, thanks, big brother!” With confirmation in hand, Guo Yan couldn’t contain her happiness and burst into laughter.

Sitting next to Zhou Chao, Jiang Li didn’t try to dissuade him. After all, he knew that Zhou Chao had more money than he could spend now, and this crayfish restaurant had great potential. Investing some money in it was still a profitable move.

Soon, the waiter brought in several plates of crayfish with different flavors, the same server as before, bur now he had lost his previous arrogance. Perhaps Wang Qiang had said something outside, as no one dared to meet Zhou Chao s gaze directly.

“Let’s continue eating!” Zhou Chao had previously been peeling crayfish for Jiang Li, and he had eaten very little himself.

Jiang and Guo, who had already eaten their fill of the delicious crayfish, couldn’t resist joining in.

After all, the more they ate, the more they craved.

When Zhou Chao and his companions were halfway through their meal, Wang Qiang pushed open the door and entered with a man in a shirt.

“Mr. Zhou, is that you?” The man in the shirt, recognizing Zhou Chao sitting at the head of the table, eating with his gloves on, exclaimed in surprise.

Hearing someone calling his name, Zhou Chao raised his head and looked at the man in the shirt standing next to Wang Qiang. Well, this was someone he knew.

The newcomer was one of the local lawyers at Phoenix Corporation, though they had never spoken before, Zhou Chao still had a vague impression of him.

“Weren’t you in Phoenix? How come you’re back in Star City? I didn’t expect you to be a friend of Mr. Wang. It s a small world,” Zhou Chao took off his gloves, picked up a napkin, and wiped his mouth.

“After the incident last time, I was transferred to Star City by the headquarters. It just so happens that I had a day off today. I grew up with Wang Qiang,” the man in the shirt said respectfully.

“Well, since we re acquaintances, things should be easier. Guo Yan, why don’t you go with them to sign the contract? It’s nor convenient to do it in this private room.”

Before Wang Qiang could react, he was already pulled out of the room by the man in the shirt, and Guo Yan followed suit.

In Wang Qiang’s office, he wanted to ask some questions but was stopped by the man in the shirt’s stern gaze, indicating that they should wait until after the business was done.

Contracts usually had templates, and after some modifications, the man in the shirt printed them out.

“Miss Guo, please take a look at this contract.”

Guo Yan took rhe contract bur didn’t bother reading it thoroughly. She flipped to the last page and signed her name.

“No need to read the contract. Since you know my brother, 1 trust you. Also, Wang Qiang, what’s your bank account number? I’ll have my brother transfer the money to you.”

Wang Qiang quickly provided his account number, and after Guo Yan confirmed it several times, she sent it to Zhou Chao.

In less than two minutes, Wang Qiang received a notification of a 6 million transfer.

“Now that the money has arrived, Wang Qiang, from now on, we’re business partners,” Guo Yan stood up confidently and extended her right hand towards Wang Qiang.

“Pleasure doing business with you!”

Once Guo Yan had left, Wang Qiang turned to his good friend and asked, “Lao Xia, who is this Mr. Zhou, and why are you treating him so cautiously? You are currently the Chief Legal Advisor of Sany Group’s Star City branch.”

“The Chief Advisor title means nothing; in their eyes, I’m just a small shrimp. Even our Chairman Qin is extremely respectful in front of them! ”

“Chairman Qin? The one from Sany Group’s headquarters?” Wang Qiang was now wide-eyed, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

“Of course. Who else could it be? It’s just that I never expected you, Lao Wang, to hitch a ride with Mr. Zhou. It’s genuinely enviable!” Lao Xia looked at Wang Qiang with a hint of envy in his eyes.

Wang Qiang, now reminiscing, wore a satisfied smile on his face and said, “Hahaha, when luck comes knocking, you can’t stop it. As long as I take good care of Mr. Zhou’s sister, who knows, I might be able to open crayfish restaurants all over the country in the future.”

Get some rest!”
