Chapter 406: Chapter 406

This atmosphere made Yang Fan actually very uncomfortable.

His words were not just for the sake of saying, facing Xiao Nan’s incessant respect, he truly felt like he was sitting on a chair of steel needles, with everything feeling off.

But Xiao Nan and Liu Sanleng showed no intention of changing their approach.

They kept on insisting on their behavior, even showing more respect towards Yang Fan.

This feeling made Yang Fan realize that the matter they were going to talk about today must be significant.

After drinking two glasses of wine, Yang Fan decided he couldn’t continue to follow their pace any longer.

He put down his wine glass and directly asked in a straightforward manner, "Boss Liu, why don’t you just talk about what you’re thinking, what you’re planning to do next? Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat anymore."

Actually, at this time, calling Liu Sanleng "Boss Liu" seemed a bit inappropriate.

After all, Xiao Nan’s default address for him was Mr. Yang.

But that was how he had been addressing Liu Sanleng from the start, and a sudden change now would be even worse.

Liu Sanleng glanced at Xiao Nan standing by Yang Fan’s side, holding a wine bottle, and chuckled, "Brother, let’s eat first, eat, we’ll think about business after the meal, no rush."

"You’d better speak first, the way you two are acting makes me feel uneasy," Yang Fan said.

Liu Sanleng grew serious, he handed Yang Fan a cigarette, and then said, "That’s how it is, it’s actually not a big deal. The main reason I invited you over today is to thank you."

Yang Fan really wanted to say, why not settle those three drinks you mentioned earlier first?

Vocally generous, but in action, full of cunning games, how presumptuous.

"There’s no need to thank me, Boss Liu, just talk about the main issue," Yang Fan interrupted him with a gesture.

Liu Sanleng smiled, "And then, besides that, I have a little idea, I’m thinking about expanding the shop."

"Expanding the shop?" Yang Fan was shocked by his words.

Fatty Liu, are your ambitions really that big?

You’ve only made a bit of money, and now you’re already thinking about expanding the shop.

"Yes, expanding the shop. The current scale of my shop is a bit small, barely twenty rooms, definitely not enough," Liu Sanleng said. "So, I was thinking if the costs could continue to be covered by your side, and then deducted from the upcoming profits."

Yang Fan had no desire to say anything more, that was some really shrewd calculating.

This was the epitome of business shrewdness.

There probably isn’t another businessman more shrewd than him in this world.

"What scale do you plan to expand to, and how much investment do you estimate is needed?" Yang Fan asked.

He didn’t hurry to refuse, prepared to first listen to Liu Sanleng’s complete plan.

Liu Sanleng pointed across the street, "Not too big, just that half of the building, the total costs won’t be much, perhaps more than one hundred something. For a company like yours, I think this shouldn’t be a difficult task at all."

He seemed to have always considered Yang Fan to be one of Han Palace’s managers.

Hearing Liu Sanleng’s words, Yang Fan nearly choked on his own saliva.

Impressive, indeed.

Does Fatty Liu think he’s the only smart one in this world and everyone else is an idiot?

"Regarding this matter, I’ll give feedback, but I think, Boss Liu, you shouldn’t get your hopes up, the likelihood is not great." Yang Fan didn’t speak in absolute terms, just in case what he thought was impossible was actually something Diwu Ming was considering.

He was just a middleman earning a commission, without any decision-making power. Passing on a message would be no issue.

"Alright, I’ll trouble you for this then, Brother Yang," Liu Sanleng said with a smile. "Additionally, I have another presumptuous request. I’d like to bother Brother Yang for a favor. My sister runs a broth in the neighboring town of Lin Jing, and now she’s looking to expand that part of the business but has been struggling to find the right team."

Xiao Nan’s smile was incomparably charming as she glanced at Si’er and nodded at Yang Fan.

"Actually, my current model is quite good, but your company’s commission setup is simply too steep, taking away nearly half of the profits, which my sister can’t really accept," Liu Sanleng continued.

"Although I’m not clear about the extent of your position at your company, Brother Yang, you must at least be an executive, and I presume you are well aware of where those girl teams come from. Could you perhaps tell us in confidence? If this goes through, both our families will prepare a fifty-thousand red envelope for you, Brother Yang, how about that?"

Suddenly, Xiao Nan leaned close to Yang Fan, her breath as sweet as orchids, and whispered, "And there’s also me."

"If Mr. Yang is willing to do us this favor, I’m always ready to ’get up’ with Mr. Yang anytime."

Yang Fan chuckled and shook his head.

The idea was indeed good.

Sure enough, Fatty Liu wasn’t going to take action until he saw the benefit. He had clearly thought this through.

A fifty-thousand red envelope was a sum not too much or too little, but somewhere in between.

Yang Fan suspected that this guy had definitely carefully calculated it all before settling on that amount.

Too bad he had misjudged the situation, Yang Fan simply didn’t have the ability.

The channels and business model for these girls were the lifeblood of Diwu Ming.

Liu Sanleng probably already had a good idea of the business model by now, and even if he offered money to Diwu Ming for the channels, Diwu Ming would surely not agree to it.

"Brother Yang, I run a shop in town, and my sister is in the neighboring county, which wouldn’t affect Han Palace’s business at all. This is just a small matter for you, just a little word of mouth to give us a connection," Liu Sanleng said.

"As long as Brother Yang can sort this out for us, you’ll instantly reap both wealth and beauty."

Yang Fan looked at Liu Sanleng calmly and asked, "I suppose, Boss Liu, you’ve already privately asked those girls in your shop, haven’t you? I’m curious about their stance."

"I won’t lie to you, I did ask out of curiosity, I even offered them a substantial price, but they’re clueless. They only know they came through a PR company, they know nothing beyond that," Liu Sanleng said with some regret.

Yang Fan spread his hands, "What they say, is also what I say."

"Don’t be like that, Mr. Yang, please do this little sister a favor," Xiao Nan pleaded, draping her arm over Yang Fan’s shoulder and turning on her charm.

Her voice was indeed pleasant to the ear, but Yang Fan was thoroughly unmoved.

Even if he had the ability, he still wouldn’t do it.

The cost was too great!

Offending Diwu Ming, that fierce woman, for such a small benefit, was simply not worth it.

Diwu Ming had established such a large foundation in Xin’an, and the woman had considerable backing. Taking him down would certainly not be difficult, it might even be as simple as making a phone call.

Speaking of which, Yang Fan thought he should really find time to visit Zhang Yulan.

"It’s not that I won’t do it, I truly can’t, because I really don’t know," Yang Fan said shaking his head.
