Chapter 101: The Reward!
"This car? You drove it here?"
Erniu opened his eyes wide, looked at the Alphard next to him, and asked in confusion.
Although he wasn't an expert, he could tell that the car wasn't cheap.
"Yes, it was a gift from a friend."
Chen Le spoke the truth.
"A gift? You're not kidding, are you? You've learned to brag in just a few days!"
"Don't hang out with those weird and strange people, they might just choke you out one of your kidneys!"
Erniu spoke very seriously.
Where did you get such a friend to give you a luxury car?
Although he didn't doubt Chen Le, he knew that such a friend was definitely not a decent person!
Sending such an expensive car must mean they want something in return.
What can Chen Le do for him?
That's definitely a sinister plot!
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
Chen Le grinned helplessly.
Even if he explains, Brother Erniu probably won't believe him.
Wait a moment, and everything will become clear.
Li Hong felt both heartache and helplessness watching this, and couldn't help but mutter, "Chen Le, your parents are scrimping and saving at home, working hard every day, all to pay off your debts!"
"How could you associate with these people and associate with such improper individuals!"
"What if something happens to you? How will we explain it to your parents!"
Chen Erniu sighed, pulled his wife aside, and advised, "Alright, alright, Ale isn't a child, he knows what he's doing."
He knew that his wife was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
But with so many people coming and going, we have to be mindful of the impact.
"Okay, Chen Le, your sister-in-law won't say anything more about you."
Li Hong sighed and continued, "We're leaving in the next few days. Be careful and don't get scammed."
"This society isn't as simple as you think..."
“Your brother Erniu is always the one who suffers losses at the hands of others, yet he never learns to be cunning. Don’t be like him.”
"Honey, there are so many people watching on the street, please save some face."
Chen Tieniu scratched his forehead, looking quite embarrassed.
Chen Le didn't mind; he just thought the couple was genuine and adorable.
He knew Li Hong's character.
When he first got into gambling, Li Hong had warned himself against it.
But at that time, he simply wouldn't listen.
Not to mention, after Su Xi was domestically abused by Chen Le, she always went to Li Hong for support.
This saved me from being beaten many times.
I felt much less guilty.
Chen Le remembered all these favors!
"Okay, sister-in-law..."
Chen Le pointed to the Juxianju restaurant in front of him and said with a smile, "Let's not delay, let's go upstairs and eat."
"This restaurant?"
Li Hong frowned, her face full of reluctance, "Isn't it a bit too high-end..."
She knew this restaurant.
It stole away customers as soon as it opened.
Not only that, they also deliberately placed advertisements at the entrance of their own Ruyi Restaurant.
But the owner of this company is rich and powerful, and you can't afford to offend him.
Erniu had wanted to go into the store several times to take a look, order some dishes, and check it out.
But the food was too expensive; we couldn't afford to order it.
So we had no choice but to give up...
She had no idea that the reason the landlord kicked them out was because this family was behind it all!
"Don't worry, Sister-in-law Erniu, I've already made the order and paid for it."
"If you don't eat it, it will all be wasted."
Chen Le said with a smile.
After saying that, he grabbed Erniu and headed straight into the restaurant.
Li Hong sighed and had no choice but to follow.
Soon, they entered a private room, which was decorated very luxuriously and was resplendent with gold.
The large chandelier on the ceiling alone is worth over 100,000 yuan.
The floor was carpeted, and the walls were covered with various famous paintings.
Li Hong looked around in surprise, her eyes filled with disappointment.
"This boss is really rich! How can our little restaurant compete with him?!"
"That landlord is cunning; if we drag this out any longer, we won't be able to leave."
Erniu lowered his head, his face sullen, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
Li Hong carefully tugged at Er Niu's sleeve.
She knew perfectly well that her husband couldn't let go of the restaurant he had run for so long.
Even though the landlord refused to rent it out, how could I explain this to my loyal customers who had been supporting me all along?
"I don't want to admit defeat."
Erniu looked up, his eyes serious. "I want to see what makes this store so successful..."
Li Hong smiled happily and placed her hand in her husband's palm.
For so many years, she has always supported her husband's choices.
Chen Le also had a smile on his face.
Envy.
Once upon a time, Su Xi also believed in herself in this way.
However, his actions betrayed such a good woman.
Just then, Chen Tieniu's surprised exclamation brought Chen Le back to his senses.
"My God, how come the food in the private room is more than twice as expensive as the food in the dining room?"
His eyes widened, he covered his mouth, his face full of surprise.
Li Hong also came over, looking at the menu. Comparing it to her own menu, she felt both heartache and resentment, muttering, "It's just ordinary braised lion's head meatballs, but they changed the name to something like 'Four Joyful Fortune Meatballs,' and this plate costs over 200 yuan!!"
"This is outrageous! This is outrageous! A serving of fried river shrimp costs 152 yuan! How can anyone be so greedy?!"
This one dish almost equals their entire table's income.
Erniu chuckled and said self-deprecatingly, "Their renovations are on full display, they invested a huge amount, and the chefs they hired aren't ordinary either. They're definitely better than me, a self-taught amateur!"
"I can't compete, I just can't compete..."
As he spoke, he lowered his head and fell silent.
Chen Le smiled and said, "Waiter, bring out all your signature dishes, especially these seafood dishes. Bring one plate of each. Hurry up, you'll get a generous tip. Go ahead."
The waiter looked pleasantly surprised, nodded, and quickly left.
Chen Tieniu's face turned ashen. He immediately stood up and said angrily, "Ah Le, what are you doing!"
"Didn't we agree to save money?"
"This restaurant is too expensive, let's not eat here. You come home with me, and I'll have your sister-in-law go to the market to buy some groceries. I'll cook for you when we get back!"
He still felt bad about the money.
In his eyes, Chen Le was in dire straits, and his parents were suffering as a result.
He really couldn't eat the food he had bought on credit.
Li Hong nodded repeatedly, and then headed out to the vegetable market.
"Brother Erniu, sister-in-law..."
Chen Le sighed, finally putting down his raised glass, and said seriously, "I called you two here today because there's something I want to tell you."
"Ok?"
Chen Tieniu raised his head hesitantly.
Even Li Hong was quite surprised.
They rarely saw Chen Le so serious and focused.
In the eyes of the villagers, Chen Le was the epitome of a good-for-nothing; what serious business could he possibly have?
"I have a surprise for you, I'll tell you in a bit."
Chen Le smiled slightly, his expression meaningful and mysterious.
……
The waiter looked delighted and rushed out.
We've encountered a big spender!
Not only did they order expensive dishes, but they also left a large tip. Shouldn't you hurry up and report this to the manager?
If we curry favor with them, we'll become regular customers.
You can get tips every day!
"Manager, a VIP has arrived in the Lotus Room! This is incredible!"
The waiter said breathlessly.
