Chapter 484: It’s Delicious, So I Bought It! (2)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Soon, under Guo Yan’s guidance, the group reached a crayfish restaurant that she insisted was a must-visit.

“Wow, the interior design here is quite impressive. It might even be considered an internet-famous spot.”

The decor of Xiaoxiaolong was inspired by the theme of “Old Station Life,” featuring various creative decorations such as green train carriages, old airports, ancient docks, and train stations. Stepping inside felt like going back to the 1980s.

“Haha, of course! Haven’t you seen how great your sister’s taste is?”

Even though it was already two o’clock in the afternoon, there were still plenty of visitors. Zhou Chao and his companions glanced around and finally chose a private dining room with the main theme of a green train carriage.

“Hey there, handsome. Here’s our menu. Take a look and decide which flavors of crayfish you’d like.” The waitress, a young woman in her twenties, looked at Zhou Chao with enthusiasm, her eyes gleaming as if she didn’t care about anyone else.

Zhou Chao was used to this kind of attention, so he remained unfazed.

“Let’s have one serving of each flavor of crayfish you have here, and also order these two specialty dishes. That should do it,” he said as he handed the menu back to the waitress.

Whether the waitress intentionally or unintentionally brushed against Zhou Chao’s hand while taking the menu was unclear.

After the waitress left, Guo Yan grumbled, “Sister-in-law, didn’t you see how that waitress practically wanted to devour my brother alive? Why didn’t you say something?”

Jiang Li just glanced at Zhou Chao and smiled radiantly.

“What’s there to say? It just proves that your brother is quite charming, and I got a good taste.”

Zhou Chao held Jiang Li’s hand in agreement, and the two exchanged a loving look, leaving Guo Yan rolling her eyes in annoyance.

She muttered to herself, “Geez, what’s with all this lovey-dovey stuff? Now I couldn’t even enjoy the crayfish; 1 feel full looking at the both of you.”

Seeing Lin Wu, who hadn’t spoken, covering his mouth and quietly laughing, Guo Yan felt even more frustrated.

Soon, the waitress brought in various flavors of crayfish.

Eight different flavors of specialty crayfish, each portion generously served. The enticing aroma filled the private dining room, and a famished Guo Yan couldn’t wait any longer.

Seeing her eagerness, Zhou Chao signaled for everyone to dig in. “Let’s start!”

Guo Yan, who had been eagerly awaiting this moment, wasted no time and began eating with gusto, not even bothering with gloves.

“Mmm, the taste is really good. The meat is so plump, and they’re quite large. Delicious, delicious!”

Everyone began digging in with enthusiasm.

Zhou Chao’s hands seemed to move as if on autopilot, grabbing one crayfish every five seconds, quickly filling up his small bowl.

“All Li, try this,” he said, handing a small bowl to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li’s lips curved into a slight smile as she whispered to Zhou Chao, “Brother Chao, 1 love you.”

“Bro, sis-in-law, can you two stop being so lovey-dovey? 1 feel like the crayfish in my hands doesn’t taste good anymore,” Guo Yan complained while taking a hearty bite of her crayfish, as if venting her frustration.

Although there were eight different flavors of crayfish to savor, they didn’t last half an hour in the hands of the group. Guo Yan even sucked her fingers to savor the flavors.

“If you’re not full yet, you can order more.”

“I am full, just can’t eat anymore. Hey, bro, what if we can’t have such delicious crayfish in the future?” Guo Yan pretended to be pitiful, her eyes darting around.

Zhou Chao easily understood what Guo Yan was up to. After all, she was his sister. Zhou Chao gestured for Lin Wu to fetch the owner of the restaurant.

Soon, Lin Wu returned with the restaurant’s owner.

“Hello, I’m the owner of this restaurant. Is there anything I can help you with?” The middle-aged man greeted Zhou Chao warmly from his main seat.

Zhou Chao wiped his mouth with a napkin before speaking, “Hello, sir. I was wondering if your restaurant is for sale?”

The owner was immediately puzzled. Why was this young man asking if his restaurant was for sale? He thought there might have been a problem with the food or service.

Looking at Zhou Chao’s youthful face, the owner couldn’t believe that this young man had the capability to buy his restaurant. Moreover, he relied on this restaurant to make a living. Therefore, he politely declined, “I’m sorry, but this restaurant is not for sale.”

“Then, are you looking for investors? I can see that your restaurant is doing well, and you probably want to expand it, right?”

The owner began to understand the situation better. The man in front of him seemed genuinely interested in his crayfish restaurant.

“Hello, I’m Wang Qiang, the founder of this crayfish restaurant.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao smiled faintly, knowing that the owner was getting intrigued.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Zhou Chao. How much do you value your restaurant at?”

Wang Qiang pondered for a moment before looking up and saying, “Approximately 5 million.”

This price was somewhat inflated, as it was typical in business negotiations. You had to start high and negotiate from there.

However, Zhou Chao, upon hearing the price, immediately said, “I’ll invest 6 million, and I want a 51% ownership stake. I won’t be involved in management. Everything will continue as it is now. If you agree, let’s contact a lawyer to draft the contract right away..”
