CHAPTER 1127: CHAPTER 1123: BOOMING BUSINESS

It was already five or six in the afternoon by this time.

The sky was gradually getting darker, and the streets were starting to get busy.

Chen Yang drove back to the hotel and immediately noticed the lively scene there.

Customers coming and going, business was seemingly quite decent.

It looked like the flyers distributed earlier had some effect.

Chen Yang smiled, holding Annie’s hand, and entered the hotel, taking the elevator to Li Han’s office.

"You’re back, thanks for your hard work today!"

As soon as they entered the office, Li Han stood up immediately and greeted them with a smile.

"Hehe, it’s not hard work at all. Knowing you’ll treat us to a nice meal, it’s completely worth it," Annie teased immediately, then moved closer to Li Han and sweetly held her arm.

Li Han also smiled and looked at Chen Yang, saying, "It’s getting late. Let’s go eat now. Anything you two want to eat, my treat."

Chen Yang and Annie arrived just in time for dinner, and after a busy day, they were indeed hungry.

"I’m fine with anything."

Chen Yang repeated his usual line. He’s not picky about food, primarily focusing on Annie’s preference.

Li Han heard this and immediately turned her eyes to Annie.

"Annie, what do you feel like eating?"

Li Han asked.

"Hmm..." Annie wanted something specific but hadn’t decided beforehand, and now she was at a loss.

She thought for over ten seconds but couldn’t come up with a good place.

Finally, she suddenly smiled at Chen Yang and said, "Oh right, Chen Yang! Didn’t Niu Ming, who came to see you this noon, open a shop? How about we try his place?"

Niu Ming’s shop hadn’t been open long. Annie was aware of it but had never visited or tried the wild mountain beef.

It just suddenly came to her mind, and she thought about going to try it.

"Going to Niu Ming’s is fine with me, whatever you guys want," Chen Yang said.

"Li Han, what do you think?" Seeing that Chen Yang didn’t have any objections, Annie immediately asked for Li Han’s opinion.

The dinner was meant to reward Annie, so since she wanted to go, Li Han naturally had no objection.

And coincidentally, she hadn’t been there either, so it was a good chance to try it together.

"Sure, no problem."

Li Han readily agreed.

"Haha, let’s head out now." Seeing no objections, Annie wasted no time and led Li Han and Chen Yang out.

They took Li Han’s car, and it took twenty minutes to reach Niu Ming’s shop.

From the last visit, Chen Yang clearly remembered the shop opposite Lin Hui’s was brightly lit, bustling with people, creating the impression of booming business.

Although Niu Ming’s shop had some business, it was nothing compared to the buzz at Lin Hui’s place.

But now, the situation had completely reversed between the two shops.

Niu Ming’s shop was bustling with activity and people constantly coming and going. Even from outside, Chen Yang, Li Han, and Annie could feel the lively atmosphere inside.

On the other hand, Lin Xuan’s restaurant had already closed for renovation, devoid of any vitality.

Seeing these circumstances, Chen Yang chuckled inwardly but said nothing.

"Wow! Is Niu Ming really that amazing? Business is booming! So many people!" Annie exclaimed, looking at the bustling shop after getting out of the car.

Even Li Han was taken aback, clearly surprised.

She knew about the opening of the wild mountain beef shop.

How long has it been, and business is already this good? What will it be like in the future?

"Business is indeed good. It feels like it’s busier than my hotel," Li Han said with a smile.

Chen Yang couldn’t help but smile as well.

"Let’s go in and have a look. If there’s no seating, we might have to wait."

With that, Chen Yang led the way in, with Annie and Li Han arm-in-arm behind him.

Outside, Chen Yang, Annie, and Li Han could already feel the lively atmosphere of the shop.

Entering, the scene was even livelier.

The large hall was filled with eating and drinking customers, resembling not a restaurant but a bustling rural banquet.

With business booming, the shop’s staff were naturally very busy.

As a result, when Chen Yang and the others entered the restaurant, no one came to greet them.

But Chen Yang understood, knowing it was because business was too good, and the staff were swamped, not ignoring them intentionally.

"Chen Yang, there’s really no seating. What should we do?" Annie asked, looking up at Chen Yang in the crowded hall.

"Let’s ask Niu Ming if there’s any place available. If not, perhaps he can arrange a small table for us, as we’re all friends," Chen Yang replied.

Annie nodded in agreement and followed Chen Yang towards the kitchen.

The front was busy, and the kitchen was even busier. The shop had only one elder chef, who was overwhelmed by the sudden influx of business.

To help the elder chef, even Niu Ming, the owner, was assisting in the kitchen.

Seeing Chen Yang arrive, Niu Ming was initially surprised, then filled with a smile.

"Yang Zi, how come you’re here? You saw the shop’s business, right? It’s booming! It’s fantastic," Niu Ming said happily from the kitchen, seeing Chen Yang.

He also wiped his hands, getting ready to greet Chen Yang.

Seeing Annie and Li Han with Chen Yang, he knew they were there to dine.

"I saw it, business is indeed great. You go ahead, I’ll look around upstairs; we can chat when you’re free," Chen Yang quickly stopped Niu Ming from coming over, not wanting to bother him.

Given how busy the shop was, if he came to greet them, the kitchen would surely fall behind.

"Hehe, alright then. You guys take a seat first."

Niu Ming, at Chen Yang’s words, didn’t insist and instead called out to a waiter to arrange some seating on the rooftop for Chen Yang.

Chen Yang didn’t refuse. That was his original intention outside, anyway.

He led Annie and Li Han to the restaurant’s rooftop, following the waiter.

The rooftop was very spacious, with room for a table, leaving a large area, making it feel very open.

After setting up a table, the waiter thoughtfully fetched three chairs for Chen Yang, Annie, and Li Han.

They didn’t hold back, accepted the chairs, and sat down.

"Mr. Chen, here’s the menu. Please let me know what dishes you’d like to order." As soon as Chen Yang sat down, the waiter handed him the menu.

Initially, Chen Yang didn’t want to order yet, concerned about the kitchen’s burden, thinking of ordering when business slowed down.

But realizing the waiter’s actions were likely at Niu Ming’s direction, he took the menu and looked through it.

Looking around, unsure of what to choose, he passed the menu to Annie and Li Han.

"You two order, whatever you feel like eating."

Chen Yang said.

Annie didn’t hesitate and took the menu to start looking through it.

She earnestly began making selections.
