Chapter 408: Chapter 408: Foothold

But can Stone Town be compared to Qingcheng County? There are at least hundreds of restaurants in the county, and Jiji’s wings are still not fully grown yet. Can it really find a place to stand?

Zhang Yousheng was about to remind his son but heard Zhang Dadan advising, “Dad! Rest assured! I’ve thought long and hard about opening a branch.”

Seeing Zhang Dadan so determined, Zhang Yousheng didn’t say much. After all, his son had been successful recently, without a hint of trouble. Perhaps this could really work!

Besides, the Shiitake Mushroom Sauce Factory is doing so well now that it’s practically raking in the money. Even if the county’s restaurant loses money, it wouldn’t be a big deal!

After considering it thoroughly, Zhang Yousheng fully agreed with Zhang Dadan’s decision, smiling, “Alright! You handle it then!”

“By the way, Dad, I might not go back in the next couple of days. The goods from Dafa Sauce Factory will be delivered to Stone Town. I’ll have little Li deliver it to the village, don’t worry!” Zhang Dadan said.

Seeing his son had arranged the sauce issues properly, Zhang Yousheng felt even more satisfied. Without saying much, he hung up the phone!

Finding a reasonable excuse that would please his parents, Zhang Dadan finally let go of his worries.

Zhang Dadan got off at Qingcheng County, bought a bus ticket to the city, and sat in the bus, closing his eyes to rest.

After more than an hour, Zhang Dadan arrived in the city again. As soon as he got out of the station, he saw the guidance officer running over.

The guidance officer little Zhao saluted Zhang Dadan and led him to the car, politely opening the door for him.

Zhang Dadan remembered the last time this guidance officer had been arrogant and looked down on him. Why was he suddenly so courteous today?

“Little…Li comrade, what’s up with you today?” Zhang Dadan asked, puzzled as he got into the car.

The guidance officer little Zhao started driving while laughing guiltily, “Mr. Zhang, don’t joke with me! I heard you can leap onto roofs and walk on walls, perform acupoint fixation, very impressive!”

Hearing his exaggerated words, Zhang Dadan finally understood. So he must have heard about his deeds and thus was being so courteous!

It seems that no matter the time or person, those with a strong fist are always respected and admired.

Zhang Dadan smiled indifferently, and before he could respond, his phone rang again. It was Li Xuanxuan calling.

“Zhang Dadan, have you arrived? Why haven’t you come yet!” Li Xuanxuan was anxious and somewhat dissatisfied.

“I’m already in little Zhao’s car, I’ll be there soon, why are you so anxious!” Zhang Dadan reprimanded helplessly.

Little Zhao, who was driving, couldn’t help but laugh at his helpless expression. It seems that everyone has moments of helplessness!

Not long after, they arrived at the guidance team courtyard. Little Li hurriedly got out of the car to help Zhang Dadan with the door.

But Zhang Dadan had already pushed the door open, so the guidance officer little Zhao awkwardly smiled and went to press the doorbell!

The doorbell rang three or four times before someone came to open the door. It was none other than the impatient Li Xuanxuan.

Seeing Zhang Dadan, Li Xuanxuan was about to pounce on him. Luckily little Zhao was there, and Zhang Dadan pulled him to block her.

“You…” Li Xuanxuan bumped into little Zhao, looking displeased, ready to scold him. But seeing her uncle approach, she held back.

Mu Zhuangfei gently tapped Li Xuanxuan’s head, pushing her aside, warmly welcoming Zhang Dadan inside.

“Dadan, it must have been tough for you! By the way, have you eaten yet?” Mu Zhuangfei asked as he walked.

Zhang Dadan was indeed a bit hungry, but seeing the people in the living room, he lost his appetite, leaving only surprise and doubt.

“You…you came…” Bai Jie slowly stood up, somewhat reserved, as if they were mere acquaintances.

Li Xuanxuan, walking behind, seeing Bai Jie greeting Zhang Dadan, quickly stepped up to stand next to him.

Li Xuanxuan’s slightly provocative gesture made Bai Jie uncomfortable, like a thorn poking at her.

But she was a guest, couldn’t act out, and even felt weak in expressing anger, silently sitting down.

“Dadan, come sit! I’ll have Sister Wang make you something to eat!” Jiang Yun warmly invited, standing up.

Zhang Dadan nodded slightly and smiled, walking over to sit on a single-seat sofa, lowering his head in silence.

Mu Zhuangfei, knowing the relationship between Zhang Dadan and Bai Jie, couldn’t help but be curious about what had happened between them.

But as an elder, he couldn’t ask, breaking the awkward atmosphere by saying to Zhang Dadan, “Dadan, could you help little Fei with acupuncture later?”

“Uh…that won’t be a problem…no problem…” Zhang Dadan quickly responded, but when he raised his head, he met Mu Feiyan’s guarded look. Why was this girl so ungrateful?

Though I accidentally saw you last time, I tried my best to treat you. It’s fine if you don’t feel grateful, but to hold such a grudge is unreasonable, isn’t it?

Mu Zhuangfei chatted with Zhang Dadan for a while, and Aunt Wang from the kitchen walked out, reminding, “Madam, the noodles are ready!”

Jiang Yun quickly nudged Mu Zhuangfei upon hearing, signaling him to invite Zhang Dadan to the dining room.

Mu Zhuangfei glanced at her and smiled at Zhang Dadan, “Dadan, come on! Let’s eat first, we’ll discuss the rest later!”

Under such hospitality, Zhang Dadan couldn’t refuse, following Mu Zhuangfei to the dining room next door.

As soon as he left, Mu Feiyan and Bai Jie began whispering, naturally discussing Zhang Dadan.

Jiang Yun saw her daughter still held a grudge against Zhang Dadan, wanting to persuade her, but Bai Jie said, “Actually, Zhang Dadan is… quite a gentleman!”

Mu Feiyan was annoyed hearing Bai Jie speaking for Zhang Dadan, frowning slightly, “Why is everyone speaking up for Zhang Dadan?”

Before Bai Jie could respond, Li Xuanxuan suddenly interrupted, “Sis! It’s you who holds a grudge against Zhang Dadan! He didn’t mean to see you!”

See? Li Xuanxuan’s words brought a new awkward silence to the living room. What happened between them?

Jiang Yun, concerned for her daughter, unconsciously saw Zhang Dadan as a scoundrel. He had peeked at her daughter? No wonder little Fei was hostile towards him!

Had Zhang Dadan done anything else inappropriate to little Fei? Jiang Yun grew uneasy.

Sitting beside Mu Feiyan, Bai Jie found it hard to believe, staring at Mu Feiyan, unable to look away.

Given what she knew of Zhang Dadan, he wouldn’t act lightly. Could it really be… just toward herself?

Seeing her mother and Bai Jie scrutinizing her, Mu Feiyan felt both angry and annoyed at reckless Li Xuanxuan.

And Li Xuanxuan, who caused all this, lowered her head, silent, adding to Mu Feiyan’s frustration. Why didn’t she explain?

Feeling her mother’s gaze become increasingly odd, Mu Feiyan couldn’t stand it, explaining, “Mom! Don’t misunderstand, I was sleepwalking that night, and then… then I…”

The two uninformed in the living room felt relieved, unknowingly exhaling.
