School Beauty’s Invincible Martial Expert - Chapter 728 - Chapter 728 Chapter 731 Money Grabbing Storm

Chapter 728: Chapter 731: Money Grabbing Storm Chapter 728: Chapter 731: Money Grabbing Storm Upon arriving at Hanmen Restaurant, it was bursting at the seams with diners at this time.

Most of those who came to eat were families of three or larger groups. They were here to drop their children off at college and planned to eat at the restaurant as a midday meal. Naturally, the families with more modest means would opt to eat in the university cafeteria. However, considering the thousands of students across several universities in the vicinity, even if only one percent of them chose to dine here, it would still represent hundreds of people. Xiao Han and his friends found a booth as all the private rooms were already taken.

Zhang Feng chuckled and said, “There are quite a few people here.”

“No kidding!” Zhang Dagou nodded and remarked, “Xiao Han, you’re about to start another round of raking in the cash.”

“Yeah!” everyone agreed with a nod.

Xiao Han’s lips curled into a smile as he responded, “The catering industry isn’t easy, though.”

“I can vouch for that!” Zhang Feng immediately chimed in, “I worked here for two months during the summer, and it’s really not a walk in the park. I’ve seen all sorts of issues.”

“How much did you earn in those two months?” Zhang Dagou inquired.

“All thanks to Xiao Han looking out for me, I pocketed ten thousand yuan!” Zhang Feng said with a beaming smile.

“Wow, had I known, I would’ve gone too,” Zhang Dagou muttered.

“Like you weren’t busy getting cozy with Zhang Xiaomei,” Zhang Feng retorted with a sneer.

“What about Xiaohua? School’s starting and you haven’t reached out to her?” Zhang Dagou asked.

“She’s arriving this afternoon. I’ll pick her up later,” replied Zhang Feng, grinning from ear to ear, “Just in time to catch a meal with Liu Bin.”

“Invite them all tonight,” Liu Bin quickly suggested, “Xiao Han, call Teacher Lan, Zhang Feng, bring Xiaohua along, and I’ll call Xiaotong.”

“You might as well invite everyone from your dormitory,” Xiao Han said to Liu Bin, “You’re treating three people from one dormitory, what about the fourth?”

“True!” Zhang Dagou agreed with a nod.

“No problem!” Liu Bin said, nodding.

Hanmen Restaurant once again surged with activity. Today, in University Town, Hanmen Restaurant was destined to stand out, hitting its peak popularity after two months of momentum building.

As the nearby universities began the new semester, student spending increased.

In the restaurant, dozens of servers hustled around, their feet barely touching the ground.

Despite the busyness, it did not affect the speed of service in the least.

“The serving speed is pretty good,” remarked Zhang Dagou with a smile.

“Yep!” Xiao Han nodded and continued, “Li Fangrui is doing quite well. With over a year of experience, she’s become very mature now.”

“You don’t have a thing for her, do you?” probed Zhang Dagou.

“Don’t talk nonsense,” Xiao Han shook his head.

At that moment, a familiar figure approached, carrying a plate of food.

“Gentlemen, are you here for a meal?” the voice inquired.

“Teacher… Teacher Lan?” Their voices trembled slightly.

“You didn’t invite me to eat?” Lan Yudie huffed.

“I…” The group was dumbfounded, their eyes all fixed on Xiao Han.

“I…” Xiao Han chuckled sheepishly, saying, “It was a spur-of-the-moment decision. We planned to invite you to dinner tonight. So, Teacher Lan, would you like to join us for a meal?”

“Who’s keen?” Lan Yudie snorted softly before asking, “What time tonight?”

“Uh…” Xiao Han was taken aback and said awkwardly, “We can set a time later tonight.”

After hearing this, Lan Yudie nodded, “Okay!”

Just as Lan Yudie was about to turn around and leave, Xiao Han hastily called out, “Xiao Yu!”

“What’s up?” Lan Yudie asked, puzzled.

“That is…” Xiao Han rushed to say, “Now that school has started, why are you still helping out here? Why don’t you go work at the school?”

“The school’s start doesn’t really involve me,” Lan Yudie said with a smile. “Seeing that Hanmen Restaurant was short on staff, I decided to come and help.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Han was touched and asked, “Isn’t this tiring for you? Can you manage?”

“No problem,” Lan Yudie smiled and replied, “I’m not working full days. I’m just here to help out when it’s busy.”

“Still, it’s hard work!” Xiao Han said, looking at her tenderly as he took Lan Yudie’s hand.

Lan Yudie quickly pulled her hand away, saying, “Stop grossing me out. There are so many people around, just back off.”

Even though Lan Yudie was delighted inside, she pushed Xiao Han away and quickly left.

Xiao Han watched Lan Yudie’s retreating figure, feeling a great deal of heartache.

Since Lan Yudie had helped him so wholeheartedly, Xiao Han was very touched. In this world, apart from Liu Xiaolei, probably only Lan Yudie would be willing to help him so selflessly. Of course, Xiao Han believed that he had encountered quite a few benefactors in his life. For example, Yang Lu, Li Xiaoya… and the like.

Xiao Han felt extremely happy.

Xiao Han smiled and then said, “This girl!”

“Tsk tsk, look at how intimate this nickname is!” Zhang Feng snickered from the side. “I never dreamed that Lan Yudie would fall for you, kid!”

“Haha…” Hearing this, Zhang Dagou laughed loudly. “This just shows that our Xiao Han is quite capable.”

“Right!” Liu Bin nodded and said, “Our Shuimu University’s goddess teacher was taken down by you, you’re truly our idol!”

“A toast to the idol!” Zhang Feng hurriedly raised his glass.

In the summer, drinking a couple of glasses of chilled beer felt absolutely refreshing. The cold drink passing through one’s veins revitalized the spirit and was incredibly stimulating. It was exceedingly comfortable.

A smile formed on the corners of Xiao Han’s mouth; he grinned and then said, “Thank you.”

The group raised their glasses and drank up.

Afterward, everyone appeared incredibly exhilarated and refreshed.

A smile formed on the corners of Xiao Han’s mouth again; he chuckled and then said, “Let’s eat. The menu has changed again this year. Some new dishes have been added, and some that were not very popular before were removed.”

“Are these all new dishes?” asked Liu Bin.

“Yes!” Xiao Han nodded and said, “These are all new dishes. Try them and see how they are?”

Everyone immediately reached out to pick up some food.

To cater to the taste of regular customers, some changes had been made to the menu. These were quite good.

The new dishes were quite nice, and the chefs were very ambitious. After all, the chefs at the restaurant had once worked in big hotels. Thus, the innovative dishes on the menu were quite good.

“Not bad, the taste is better than last year!”

“Hmm, it is indeed good.”

“Maybe because I haven’t had them before, they feel very fresh!”

Everyone started to comment.

The improvement of the restaurant’s menu is not only a service to customers but also a sign of Hanmen Restaurant’s spirit. A spirit of innovation.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the group staggered out.

……

Chen Xiaogang is Chen Tie’s son. Chen Tie is 48 this year, and had his son when he was nearly thirty. Naturally, he doted on and spoiled his son very much. Chen Xiaogang grew up with everything provided for him, which led to his becoming a bit of a prodigal son who took life lightly.

“Dad, you must avenge me!” Chen Xiaogang, pointing at the bruises on his body and the swelling on his face, said, “I’ve been bullied, you have to help me!”

“What exactly happened?” Chen Tie had always doted on his son. No matter the severity of Chen Xiaogang’s mistakes, he would never have a harsh word for him. Now, his son had finally grown up and was about to take over his business, but he had been bullied. How could he swallow this grievance? Chen Tie turned to the man in black who had come in with him and said, “Old Liu, what on earth has happened?”

“Here’s the thing…” Old Liu recounted the situation in detail, including the matter of Chen Xiaogang bullying Guan Xiaotong. Chen Xiaogang wasn’t the least bit afraid, he even felt it was right for him to bully Guan Xiaotong. As for being beaten by Liu Bin, that was absolutely unacceptable.

“Dare to bully my son?” Chen Tie was furious upon hearing this. “Why didn’t you go settle the score with that kid?”

“I did!” Old Liu said helplessly, “But their strength was too great.”

“Really?” Chen Tie was immediately shocked.

He was well aware of his own people’s capability, and if even Old Liu admitted he was no match, it was clear that the strength of the other party was considerable. Chen Tie took a deep breath, then said, “What exactly is going on?”

“The other party has some background,” Old Liu said helplessly. “This is something we might really be powerless against!”

“Nonsense, how can I be powerless when my son has been bullied?” When Chen Tie heard this, he immediately cursed, “If you’re useless, don’t make excuses for your incompetence!”

Chen Tie frowned and then said, “This…”

“Dad, even if they have connections, so what?” Chen Xiaogang, seeing his dad hesitate, hurriedly said, “It doesn’t amount to much.”

“Hmm!” Chen Tie nodded and said, “Xiaogang makes sense.”

“But the kid’s name is Xiao Han!” Old Liu said.

“Xiao Han?” Chen Tie was stunned for a moment, then looked up, “I don’t know him.”

“But there’s one thing related to him that you must know,” Old Liu said.
