Chapter 580: Chapter 246: Queen of the Food Industry_2

"Third Brother!" The Sixth Miss Guo nearby was upset. "Where do you stand? If you keep defending him, be careful, I might go home and tell Sister-in-law that you’ve been hanging out with a lot of girls on the mainland..."

Upon hearing The Sixth Miss Guo’s words, The Third Young Master Guo curiously asked, "Where are these girls? I don’t know when Third Brother started hanging out with them? I thought this hotel didn’t provide that kind of service?"

"I don’t know either! Can’t I just imagine it?" The Sixth Miss Guo rolled her eyes and continued. "After all, all you men are like this, tomcats can’t resist stealing a piece of fish, as long as my sister-in-law believes it, who cares when he found them..."

"This is defamation..." The Third Young Master Guo was amused by her rogue behavior. "I just mentioned it, will Laowu go find the police?"

"I can’t afford to lose face like that!" Guo Xiaowu replied sullenly before anyone could ask.

"All right, since it has come to this, you all support my idea of opening a western restaurant, right?" The Sixth Miss Guo beamed. "Then I will start raising funds for the renovation, and in the meantime, start planning my partnership with the young guy who raises cattle..."

"Wait a minute, who said they were supporting your western restaurant?" Guo Xiaowu quickly protested. "It seems to me you’re not planning to talk about cooperation, but to throw yourself at him, when will you start behaving moderately, Sixth Miss?"

"Guo Xiaowu, you’ve called me ’Sixth Miss’ for times tonight. I’m in a good mood so I won’t argue with you, but don’t push your luck!" The Sixth Miss Guo sat upright and glared at Guo Xiaowu. "I’m warning you, send your allowance to me obediently later. I need it for the renovation of the western restaurant, got it? If not, I’ll go and tell grandpa that you’ve been wining and dining here under the guise of inspection, doing whatever you want..."

"Are you mad! There’s nothing here, even if I wanted to go wining and dining, I wouldn’t be able to!" Guo Xiaowu jumped up again. "Can’t you have any conscience when speaking? You and Third Brother didn’t spend a dime, but I’ve spent so much money! Where is my allowance left?"

"Really?" The Sixth Miss Guo gave a mischievous smirk, imitating a villain, and then spoke in a rather eerie tone. "Are you implying that dear grandma would not trust her own grandson? I’m not kidding this time, with just three-hundred-thousand, I could bring Miss Li into this family as your daughter-in-law, guaranteeing you to have a great-grandson within two years..."

"You, you, you..." Guo Xiaowu was really hopping mad this time, shouting with his face all red. "You eavesdropped on my conversation with Grandma, have you no shame?!"

"What’s wrong with eavesdropping?" The Sixth Miss Guo stood up facing Guo Xiaowu, sticking her neck out like a rooster and protested. "Was it even a conversation that you had with Grandma? It was clearly you shamelessly fabricating lies just to swindle Grandma’s money. Just admit it, are you giving me the money or not? Or should I pull out records of your trips to Lika and Hong Kong from last month..."

"Can’t you be less shameless..." Guo Xiaowu turned pale as she hit him where it hurt. "The illustrious Sixth Miss Guo, monitoring your own brother like a paparazzi every day. How would that look if the news got out?"

"Who’s playing paparazzi?" The Sixth Miss Guo was extremely pleased with herself, rubbing her fingers together confidently. "Do you think I have time to monitor you? Or am I as brainless as you? Wrong! With just a little money, countless people are willing to leak information to me! Hahaha..."

"You, you... can you be even more shameless? You use the money you extorted from us to hire people to spy on us, and then you use the information gathered from the surveillance to continue extorting us? Can anyone in Hong Kong be more shameless than you?" Guo Xiaowu was so furious that he almost couldn’t speak.

"Enough, enough!" The Third Young Master Guo couldn’t bear to see the two quarreling like roosters, so he rubbed his temples to stop them. "Can’t you two stop quarreling every day? You’ve already made me feel neurotic on this trip..."

The Sixth Miss Guo glanced back at the Third Young Master Guo and said, "Don’t worry Third Brother, I’ll be done soon!"

With that, she stretched out a hand, grinned mischievously at Guo Xiaowu, and said, "This time I’ll be generous, I’ll only take half of it, how does that sound?"

"Are you mad? How much do you think I have?" Fifth Brother exclaimed, then remembered how much dirt this girl had on him and immediately sank into a funk. "At most, twenty thousand! I don’t even have more..."

"Stop pretending, do you think I don’t know? Don’t forget, Aunt Mei is my close friend. I’m aware of every single penny grandma gives you. You haven’t had time to spend all that money. Half, just half, with that, you can shut up your dear little sister. Maybe I’ll even cover for you in front of Grandpa, if I’m in a good mood."

"Don’t mention it, I really don’t have that much left, at most thirty thousand..." Fifth Brother had no choice but to raise the price of the ’shut-up’ fee and said with a pained look on his face.

Still somewhat unhappy, he muttered, "All I did was lie to get a little pocket money, but you even bribed the old maid who serves grandma, who’s more shameless here..."

"Half, just half..." The Sixth Miss Guo completely ignored his complaint and kept insisting on her demand.

After quite a battle of wits, they finally ’struck a deal’ for a price of one hundred thousand. Following that, the Sixth Miss Guo was incredibly pleased and cheery as she called to Third Brother, who was standing idly by, "Third... Brother..."

The sugary sweetness in her voice sent shivers down Third Brother’s spine, forcing a smile, "If Fifth Brother is giving you one hundred thousand, what am I supposed to do? I’ll give you the same! But you haven’t even settled the procurement channel yet, and you’re already eager to refurbish, does that sound appropriate to you?"

"Let’s not talk about that now, Third Brother..." Sixth Miss Guo still spoke in a sweet and soft voice, but with an underlying threat. "One hundred thousand is just the price to keep me quiet! You’re the Third Brother, while Fifth Brother gave this much..."

"Stop!" Third Brother halted her from continuing, "Final price, two hundred thousand, including all charges, is that okay now?"

"Only two hundred thousand?" Now Miss Sixth seemed a bit disappointed. She thought about it and reluctantly nodded, "Fine! Since you’re so straightforward, I’ll take it! Considering you still sneak around and get other girls behind Third Sister-in-law..."

"I’ve already agreed to give you money, can you stop threatening me?" Third Brother said, half crying, half laughing, as he looked at her, and then reminded her, "Don’t forget, you haven’t even considered the beef! Plus, transporting food is not that simple, if you want to make steak you’ll need fresh beef..."

"Don’t worry, Third Brother..." Miss Sixth casually waved her hand, "I’ve already asked Nana to prepare a plan! Even if the transportation fees are a bit high, the materials I procure will be the best and most affordable. The beef used by those restaurants in Hong Kong, whether it’s from Australia or Argentina, is not as good as the one supplied by this cool bro! Plus, their prices are sky-high. Think about it, even with the transportation charges, could it be more expensive than them?"

She walked over to the window, drew the curtains dramatically, spread her arms out, and exclaimed, "Once my Western-style restaurant opens, I won’t need any marketing strategies, I’ll crush them with lowest prices... Just imagine, what will the newspapers and magazines call me? The rising star of the Hong Kong food industry, Miss Guo Jingya, or the Guo Jingya, the queen of the Hong Kong food industry..."

Having been swindled out of his pocket money, Fifth Brother yawned and muttered to Third Brother, "Third Brother, I’m going to bed, can’t bear to watch her daydreaming anymore..."

Third Brother waved his hand in resignation and stood up, "Go ahead, I’m going to bed too! Luckily, we’ve already booked our tickets, otherwise, we might’ve to run back to Hong Kong..."

Standing by the window, Queen Guo Jingya was still delivering her manifesto: "Not only Hong Kong, but Macau and even the mainland... Shen City will soon be under my rule! I will take Shen City as my...Hey, wait -where are you going? I’m not done...You must not leave... Remember to get up early tomorrow and accompany me to the Sancha River... Did you hear me..."

Guo’s Third & Fifth brother’s feeble voices echoed from the doorway, "Do what you want! If we don’t follow you, you might be unable to control your mouth again. Just don’t forget we have to go home the day after tomorrow..."
