CHAPTER 318: CHAPTER 318: YE QINGMEI’S SCHEMES, THE CITY IS FULL OF INTRIGUES

Lin Fan managed the gym owner so well that he was obedient, which made Ye Qingmei very curious. Lin Fan clearly looked like a poor guy.

Ye Qingmei couldn’t help but ask Feng Ruolan.

Feng Ruolan asked her back, "Do you know the Mortal Group?"

Ye Qingmei said, "Mortal Group? I know, but how is it related to him?"

Feng Ruolan smiled slightly and said, "Little Fan is the owner of the Mortal Group."

Ye Qingmei’s eyes widened in shock: "What? He’s the owner of the Mortal Group? Sister, you must be joking, the owner of Mortal Group is now the new richest person in Yun City!"

Feng Ruolan said, "Yes, Yun City’s new richest person is right in front of you now."

Ye Qingmei was stunned.

She didn’t think Feng Ruolan would joke with her like this, so the Lin Fan in front of her really was Yun City’s richest person!

She previously thought Lin Fan was poor, but he turned out to be the richest; if Lin Fan is called poor, then what is she?

The Ye Family in Yun City is just a small family, and their business isn’t large. Ye Qingmei didn’t pay much attention to the family business and went out to open her own restaurant. Her dream is to turn this restaurant into a chain and create a super dining brand. However, as the eldest daughter of the Ye Family, she lacks funds, and the family can’t help.

Ye Qingmei couldn’t help but blush, she judged Lin Fan by his appearance, thinking he was poor because he dressed simply, which was really superficial of her.

So now, the richest man and woman of Yun City were both in her restaurant, Ye Qingmei had an idea, and she couldn’t help but become a bit excited.

In the restaurant, Huang Xiaoying was enthusiastically attending to Lin Fan. The two of them were chatting and laughing.

Huang Xiaoying and Lin Fan are hometown acquaintances, and since Lin Fan helped her, she was naturally very happy and also very curious.

"Brother Fan, Gou Zhixiang seems to be afraid of you, you even want to raise his rent, what’s going on? What are you doing now?" Huang Xiaoying asked.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "To be honest, I’m now the richest person in Yun City."

Huang Xiaoying was momentarily stunned, and then giggled: "Brother Fan, you’re so humorous, I guess you’re in the rent collection business?"

Lin Fan was telling the truth, but how could Huang Xiaoying believe him? They are hometown acquaintances, know each other’s backgrounds, and she heard that Lin Fan was still a deliveryman at New Year’s, so how could he become the richest person? He must be joking.

Lin Fan nodded: "Collecting rent, you could say that."

That whole old district belongs to him, he indeed is the landlord of everyone there.

"Little Ying, I heard you’re from the same hometown as Little Fan?"

Ye Qingmei and Feng Ruolan came over.

Huang Xiaoying blinked, a bit curious: "Yes, boss, you know Brother Fan?"

Ye Qingmei said, "I met Little Fan today, he came with his sister for dinner, his sister is my good friend."

Huang Xiaoying looked at Feng Ruolan and was stunned, Feng Ruolan was so beautiful, and her aura was so strong that ordinary people wouldn’t dare to look directly at her.

"Brother Fan, when did you have such a pretty sister?" Huang Xiaoying asked Lin Fan in surprise.

Feng Ruolan smiled and said, "Hello, Little Ying, I’m Feng Ruolan, Little Fan’s god-sister."

Huang Xiaoying blushed a little and quickly responded, "Hello."

She felt the name Feng Ruolan sounded familiar, but couldn’t recall where she had heard it.

Ye Qingmei invited Feng Ruolan to sit down, grabbed the menu, and smiled, "Sister, Little Fan, first take a look at what you want to eat. Not to brag, but every dish here is worth trying. Little Ying, come with me for a moment."

Ye Qingmei pulled Huang Xiaoying to the back.

"Little Ying, are you on good terms with Lin Fan?" Ye Qingmei asked seriously.

Huang Xiaoying said, "Yes, I live in the neighboring village. We went to elementary school together, everyone knows each other well, and we gather during festivals."

Ye Qingmei was relieved: "That’s good, looks like there is hope now."

Huang Xiaoying asked, "What do you mean, boss?"

Ye Qingmei cleared her throat and said, "Little Ying, you’ve been at my store for a month now, right?"

Huang Xiaoying said, "Yes, it’s exactly one month after today."

Ye Qingmei said, "I see your work ability is good, you’ve performed well, and I’m very satisfied. Just that our store lacks a manager, and I’ve decided that this manager will be you, what do you think?"

Huang Xiaoying was both surprised and delighted, her voice trembling: "Boss, you really want to promote me to manager?"

Ye Qingmei said, "Of course."

Huang Xiaoying was overjoyed: "Thank you, boss!"

She was initially furious with her former company today, but unexpectedly, her luck turned around, first with Lin Fan helping her settle things with the previous company, and now she received Ye Qingmei’s promotion, making her feel like the happiest person in the world.

Ye Qingmei said, "It’s decided then, today we have two distinguished guests in the store, make sure to take good care of them."

Huang Xiaoying said, "Boss, do you mean Brother Fan and that Miss Feng?"

Ye Qingmei said, "Correct."

The two of them then went out.

"So, have you decided what to eat?" Ye Qingmei asked with a smile.

Lin Fan and Feng Ruolan had already decided, so they ordered, and Ye Qingmei had Huang Xiaoying arrange it, while she sat down and chatted with the two of them.

Ye Qingmei smiled and said, "Little Fan, I haven’t thanked you enough for helping Little Ying today."

Lin Fan said, "Little Ying and I are from the same hometown, it’s the right thing to do, but I hope it didn’t affect Sister Ye’s business because of her."

Ye Qingmei said, "Not at all, Little Ying is indeed very capable, she’s only been with us for a month and has already become the manager here."

Lin Fan replied with a small "oh," smiled and said, "That’s great, then I’ll leave Little Ying in Sister Ye’s care from now on."

Not long after, the dishes they ordered were served.

Ye Qingmei smiled and said, "Go ahead, try it while it’s hot."

Lin Fan and Feng Ruolan both tasted the food; it was really delicious.

"Really tasty," Feng Ruolan gave a thumbs up.

Ye Qingmei laughed and said, "How is it? Do you two richest people think my restaurant has potential?"

Feng Ruolan said, "I think it does."

Ye Qingmei asked Lin Fan, "What about you, Little Fan?"

Lin Fan nodded, "I also think it’s quite good, Sister Ye should open a few more branches, let more people taste it."

Ye Qingmei sighed and said, "I want to, but unfortunately, I don’t have enough funds. I’ve tried to attract investment several times but failed. Although the food is good, capital isn’t very optimistic about the dining industry."

Ye Qingmei glanced at both of them and joked, "If you two were interested, it would be great, after all, you are the two wealthiest people in Yun City."

Lin Fan and Feng Ruolan exchanged a look, how could they not understand that Ye Qingmei was looking for them to invest?

No wonder Ye Qingmei kept inviting Feng Ruolan to come and taste the food here, it seems her intention was not about the food but about attracting investment.

Moreover, Lin Fan heard from Huang Xiaoying earlier that she had just started working as a waitress and wasn’t doing particularly well. Perhaps Ye Qingmei quickly promoted Huang Xiaoying because she is Lin Fan’s hometown acquaintance and wanted to gain his favor?

The city is full of tricks indeed.
