Chapter 457: Chapter 457: Have Thunderous Measures, but Also Have Magnanimity

"Master, you were too polite to him just now!"

Watching Xu Dakang leave the door.

Lu Feifei pursed her lips, mumbling discontentedly.

"This is also for the good of the restaurant. After all, the invitations have been sent out. If he were to desert us at the last minute or tamper with the dishes, it would be a great loss for us. Besides, although the guy is a bit arrogant, he does make dishes that are presentable. So, this restaurant really can’t do without him."

Lin Fan smiled and draped his arm over Lu Feifei’s shoulder.

"It’s just a restaurant. If it comes to it, we could simply close it. But this guy wants to bite off more than he can chew, which is simply suicidal. If I were to handle it, I would break his legs and throw him out!"

Lu Feifei pressed her lips together.

Having hung around the streets since she was young, the only person she ever yielded to was Lin Fan.

If anyone else dared to offend her, she would make sure they bled right there and then.

That’s the rule of the streets.

"Look, you’re exuding banditry again. Remember, the underworld isn’t just about fighting and killing. You also need to understand human relationships. Solving everything with violence—what’s the difference between running a restaurant and a bar then? Moreover, when you embark on an honest path, you will encounter more sophisticated thugs. You can’t just beat up people every day, so you need to be strategic."

Lin Fan affectionately pinched Lu Feifei’s nose.

"Be strategic?"

Lu Feifei looked at Lin Fan somewhat bewildered.

"Of course. Though the restaurant is for the guests, a restaurant that only serves the guests cannot make money. Even if the restaurant is huge, it can’t compare to the scale of a nightclub. So I think you need to broaden your vision. Use the restaurant as a stepping stone to reach higher levels. If, in the future, all the business owners in Jiangning consider dining here as a honor, that would be truly meaningful. Besides, with your ability to network and sell circles, you can gain much more. Plus, with those top people in your hand, they are the best salesmen. We can’t always just sell smiles; selling something else can earn more, and you won’t have to hide your dirty identity anymore. Isn’t that better?"

Lin Fan leaned back in the chair, smiling as he looked at the messages on his phone.

Qi Qi had received the message and had already started making it.

Soon, that guy would know what a truly divine culinary masterpiece is.

"Master, when did you develop such a business mind? With your guidance, I feel like I’ve learned a lot,"

Lu Feifei said, amazed as she looked at Lin Fan.

His words truly had awoken the dreamer in her.

"Sometimes, you can learn a lot just by observing and listening,"

Lin Fan was taken aback by Lu Feifei’s praise.

Perhaps after being around Ning Mengyao for so long, he had also picked up a business mentality.

But he had to admit, when it came to business strategies, Ning Mengyao was indeed a standout.

As long as the market didn’t recognize her manipulative tactics, she was incredibly sharp.

"Master, you’re amazing. I could just die of love for you,"

Lu Feifei leaned on Lin Fan’s shoulder.

"To be tough, you also need to be tolerant. That fellow thinks his cooking skills are unmatched. Just defeat him on that front, and I believe he’ll be very obedient. Besides, what did he say about Tongtian Pavilion earlier? Have someone check that out. It’s clear that trying to poach from us now means they hold a grudge."

Lin Fan kneaded Lu Feifei’s shoulders.

This suddenly mentioned Tongtian Pavilion seemed interesting.

"Okay, I’ll have someone check it out now,"

Lu Feifei had not been concerned before, considering she was already the biggest player in Jiangning.

But if it really came down to business, she indeed needed to understand more.

So, she made a phone call to her subordinates.

Since the other party was also a prominent player in the industry, they certainly had significant recognition.

Less than fifteen minutes, she received a report from the other side.

"I found out. Tongtian Pavilion’s owner is Mr. Mu. He’s originally from Modu and only set up in Jiangning last year, aiming for high-end dining. The shop is just two streets away. The previous owner mentioned that he didn’t open because Mr. Mu was causing trouble behind the scenes. He not only made him lose a lot of money on decorations but also set many traps and later poached two of his managers."

After hearing the report, Lu Feifei relayed it to Lin Fan.

Mu Zhenglin’s tactics were quite ruthless.

Over the past two years, he had driven more than one high-end restaurant out of business.

"From what you say, this old fox probably won’t want your opening to go smoothly either. Though he’s from Modu, if he knows your background, he probably won’t dare confront you openly. But you need to be careful of his covert actions. We must ensure our grand opening is a success,"

Lin Fan felt a bit excited having an enemy.

"No problem. As long as the master is here, the opening tomorrow will go off without any issues. Just based on the current reservations, we’ve already got seventy percent of the tables booked."

Lu Feifei was now brimming with confidence.

Tomorrow would mark her first career change.

Just relying on a few nightclub mamasans to bring the girls along.

Filling this place up would hardly be a problem.

"Then let’s just wait and see,"

Lin Fan rubbed his nose.

It seemed like there were no issues at the moment.

But as long as it hadn’t opened yet.

There could always be problems.

"I, too, am really looking forward to seeing if my career change is a success,"

Lu Feifei’s face was filled with joy.

From talking to doing, it had only taken one day.

To others, this leap in life was simply unbelievable.

"Don’t worry, as long as I am here, we will definitely succeed,"

Lin Fan leaned back in his chair.

He also enjoyed the idea he came up with at the moment.

This wasn’t just about Lu Feifei’s future path,

but also about his own judgment.

So, success was the only option, failure was not allowed.

While the two were chatting about the opening in the private room,

The door to the private room was knocked.

Then a woman with a golden hairpin walked in.

However, the usually spirited woman now had a pale face.

Cold sweat was visible on her forehead.

She was clearly frightened.

"Sister Phoenix, there’s a group outside claiming to be the ’Lone Wolves’ you were supposed to meet,"

"They’re quite punctual, how many of them are there?"

Lu Feifei checked the time, indeed it was the scheduled time.

"More than thirty... and they seem like tough customers."

The woman with the golden hairpin recalled the eye contact she had made earlier.

She was still frightened.

Having grown up on the streets, they had seen all sorts of people.

But it was the first time she felt fear just from someone’s gaze.

"If they were easy-going, it wouldn’t be fun, take them to the second floor, I’ll follow shortly,"

After Lu Feifei nodded in agreement,

The woman with the golden hairpin went ahead to pass on the message.

Meanwhile, she stood up, arm in arm with Lin Fan.

"Master, it’s your turn to hold down the fort later."

"Don’t worry, if it’s a wolf, then it’s under my watch. I want to see just how fierce these people are,"

Lin Fan patted Lu Feifei’s slightly cold hand.

If these guys could scare the woman with the golden hairpin like that, they indeed weren’t ordinary.

Especially with their experience abroad,

Lin Fan wanted to see just how capable these people were.

He was even more eager to find out if they could compare to the Huaxia mercenary groups he had encountered overseas.
